Super Trouper

bleeding love

Benny and Frida were returning from the hospital, that day they had done some tests on Frida to see how her health was, especially the pregnancy test. Both were in an awkward situation, on the way to the studio neither said a single word, they would have some meetings about the reception of the new Super Trouper album but then they would have the rest of the afternoon free. Benny from time to time looked away from the avenue to look at her, as she was apparently distracted looking out the window, however, she could feel his gaze on her each time.

When they got to the studio, everyone was already there waiting. Agnetha took her hand and they embraced. "Is everything fine?" she asked.

"Yes," frida pressed her lips together. "They said I think in two or three days we will have the results," she added. Agnetha condescended and squeezed her shoulder in sympathy.

"Guys," Görel leaned out of the meeting room door and caught everyone's attention. "You can come in now," she added. The four entered and took their respective seats, you could tell they were tired.

Stig was sitting at the head of the table as he moved his pen and read some papers that he had on the table. "Can we start?" Björn intervened when he didn't say anything. Stig looked up at the four of them, then looked to his side where Görel stood.

"Let's begin," he nodded. "Well, Super Trouper, I am informed that it will enter the charts soon, so be prepared to hear more of the album in the different media." Frida was attentive to everything Stig said, but as the minutes passed she felt more tired and suddenly she no longer understood anything.

The debate arose as in all the meetings between them, Björn and Benny discussed plans for the future and Stig gave them his opinion. Frida unconsciously sighed and closed her eyes capturing the attention of the five present there. "Frida, are you taking this seriously?" Stig intimidated her with his gaze, Frida felt weak in body and soul and she slightly frowned.

"I'm listening to you Stig, you don't have to yell at me," she expressed.

"I'm not yelling at you," Stig replied, and he certainly wasn't, but she was sensitive. Frida didn't say anything and she averted her gaze to the ground, her arms crossed.

"Are you okay?" Agnetha turned to look at her and put her hand on her thigh, Frida took her hand and squeezed it, nodding her head.

Later, Frida and Agnetha were sitting at the table in the kitchen while they ate a light salad with lemon juice, apart from wanting to take care of their figure, they also wanted to take care of their health, Agnetha had suggested a restaurant that had delicious dishes and it was for Frida to try it for the first time, which had tasted really good to her.

"Are you enjoying it?" Agnetha asked seeing her focused on the plate and she raised her head at her friend's question, then nodded.

"For a salad it's really good, I'll consider ordering more of these," Frida confirmed and continued tasting.

Benny left the studio with his bundle in his hands, there he kept cassettes and other music sheets that he needed. He approached the kitchen door where he knew his wife and his friend were, he caught their attention as soon as they noticed his presence, "Frida, I'm going out to do some things, can I take you home?" Frida fixed her gaze on him and thought about it before she could say anything, she wasn't so sure what she should answer, but did know something, she doubted what she would do.

"I'm finishing lunch," she complained, as if he hadn't seen her.

"I can wait for you five minutes," he suggested, perhaps trying a little longer not to leave her there.
