She And I

Nice meeting you...again Part 1 :(

It was a Friday night. People were about to be awaken by the lights and the gimmicks. It was also the day that I would meet Ben's best friend and the girlfriend. I was anticipating that it would be Anna, but I shouldn't keep my hopes high after what happened in Melodifestivalen.

If it is Anna, then I'll be happy and hurt at the same time. I thought while fixing myself. What should I wear? Oh my face! Ugh! Chill Frida, it's just a double-date. Then I heard the doorbell ring. Do u think I'll be the one to open? Of course not! I heard voices. They're here. I have to rush!

Instead of rushing, I slowly opened the door. I saw Ben on the sofa, but there were two people who were about-faced against me ---a man and a woman. Both of them have blonde hair, but the woman had more of a bleached blonde long hair like Anna's.

"Ah! There you are!" Ben called me. "This is my brother...I mean best friend that I've been talking about."

The guy stood and turned to me. "Hi! You must be the lucky woman who was fooled by this guy. I'm Björn, and this is my date..."
The woman slowly turned, and she smiled as she looked at me. It was the same angelic smile of a woman I've met in 1968. "Hi! I'm Agnetha." She paused and her eyes widened, then she responded, "Oh my! Frida!? It really is you."

I had the right guess. It was really Anna. Oh my goodness! Here I go again with this confusion. You are engaged Fri... Anna hugged me right away. I felt that eagerness and longing for that reunion. "It's nice to meet you...again Anna." She let go of me and I've reached my hand to shake Björn's hand. "It's an honor to meet one of the stars of Swedish music. It's really nice meeting you two...well kind of again." I looked at Anna's beautiful blue eyes again and smiled at her.

"Shall we?" Benny asked in excitement.

I just smiled and everyone agreed. But I couldn't take seeing Anna with another man, though they weren't official yet. Quit the jealousy Frida.

We have decided to ride in "our" car. The guys were in front, while Anna and I stayed at the back. It was a moment. What a moment?! I have been waiting for this reunion. Can this stay forever?

I began talking to Anna as the men continued talking about their world. "So, are you two really dating?"

"Yes." She smiled at me and I just stared at her. "We've personally met in a TV special. It was love at first hearing for him. That was it. Then the TV special happened and blah blah. We were having some PDA scenes and we're keeping things real. I think I'm falling for him too."

I was just staring at her face but I was listening okay? Then she asked me, "How about you? Björn told me that you and Benny are living together and engaged by now. I am so happy that you've moved on and stood strong after all that happened. Did you just fell or it took a while before the magic answer?"

If you only knew Anna, then this wouldn't be hard. "It was just a simple meeting in a bar. I was trying to let go of all the bad memories, and there we met in a counter. He noticed me dancing, and he recognized me first before I did. Then we started dating, he popped the question before and after Melodifestivalen."

"That was really you? I thought it was a beautiful twin. Haha!!!"

"Hahaha!!! Very funny. But seriously, this is no ordinary fairytale we're entering. It's not even like the movies. But I am looking forward that things would go well for all of us."

She smiled at me again. Am I still alive? I felt heaven came to earth. I was at the usual fantasy stare. It is as if an angel really talking to me. First, it was Benny, now Anna again.

Anna was talking about a project that all of us would be involved in. Wow! Working with one of the greats? This will be great. It means more time with Anna. She saw me at my usual blank stare, and she waved her hand in front of me. "Hello? Earth to Frida? Still shocked by the idea?"

I blinked. "Yes. I am glad to be working with you. I believe we can do this." I gave her my most genuine smile ever. (Well, Anna told me that it was genuine when we were reminiscing this moment.) But it was really love at second sight. Is there even such a thing?

Part 2 soon...
