She And I

Those 24 Hours of December 1975

[Long chapter... :)]

I have already mentioned to you that we have been exposed to television shows since Waterloo's hit. No, I meant even before that. Superstardom was just opening its doors for us.

Since our group's breakthrough, we had appeared to multiple guestings as a result of our fire to be more productive in making albums. It was tiring as always. Travel here; perform there; guesting everywhere.

Anna and I actually became more open to each other despite of what she learned that day we went out. It was not awkward for her unlike me.

Did I mention that we were too busy on tour in 1975? Wooops! Okay okay... It was just a thrilling experience.

Anyway, we performed in almost all TV appearances. It was actually supposed to be just a normal performance on TV, showing our chemistry as a team. Of course, Anna and I loved performing together. You may notice that we look and smile at each other every time, or even pretend to have a play.

There were times that I could no longer control myself while performing. For instance, I tend to forget the microphone due to my excitement to dance. I just like to dance. There were times that I tend to kiss Benny, or even send some signals. Ehem! Signals. Hahaha!!!

Sometimes I tend to be playful in the performance, particularly with Anna around. But the thing is, I tend to make it real. Am I really that of a convincing actress? I kissed Anna in one of the performances, and I almost did in another. These actually happened in a span of 24 hours -on and off-camera.

[Can I mention that I just turned 30 that time?  I celebrated my birthday while on tour. I could recall thirty kisses from Benny on the morning of my birthday. It was just so sweet, and there was more than those kisses.]   💚👧+👦💙 -> 🎂💋 -> 😆

Let's get back to the story.

It was December of 1975, and we were in Germany as guest performers. As usual, Anna and I were inside the dressing room together. She was behind my back, and so was I for her. She and I had a personal mirror.

It reminded me of the first time I saw her, and how I fell for her charm on that day. I just kept on smiling while preparing for the show.

Anna called my attention. "Hey Frida, you've been smiling from ear to ear. You still haven't gotten over of those thirty kisses, have you?"

I grinned at her. "Well, that's one..."

"What's the other one? You're just blooming; no need for blush."

Should I tell her it's her?  "Well, I was just reminded of how long we have been as friends. I was just reminiscing of the first time I met you." I looked at myself in the mirror, continued fixing my hair, and added "Your charming smile, your laugh, the way you look when you rush, your voice, and your crying... You're just adorable."

I saw Anna's confused face. "What did you say? Me? Adorable?"

I paused then blinked my eyes before responding, "Did I say that? It's true."

"You really are funny Frida. I sometimes feel yous were a boy in your previous life." She simply continued fixing herself.

"Hehe... Is that so?" I laughed loudly after.

"You ready for later?" Anna asked.

"Yes? Haha!!! Are you ready for the act later?"

"Please don't hurt me. I know you tend to make things real." She pleaded me like a child.
