She And I

What Did You Say?

It was an awkward moment after what happened in Germany, although Anna accepted and supported me in my fondness of her. Oh yeah. She admitted that she liked me too. We moved on to another year, only as friends. However, we were both limited of the fact being with our special men. And she was absolutely right that we couldn't be beyond friends to be fair with the men.

Yet sometimes, we couldn't just bear to be closer and closer everyday.

First, we're neighbors.

Second, we're colleagues.

Third, we're best friends.

We see each other everyday for recording, planning, practicing, even eating and drinking. We were even together in most of our breaks while the men continued their work. It was still awkward for me. Thing is, we treated each other differently from that moment.

There was this one time that we were practicing our dance moves, alone while waiting for the guys.

"Hey Frida. Can you teach me how to do the next part?" Anna asked me.

"You just have to put one leg to the back. And the sway just happens automatically." I showed her, but she was confused. "Oh! And don't forget to raise your hands sideward."

"Frida, I don't get it. Sorry."

I went beside her. I had to adjust to her movement since she usually does a reflection of my movement. "So raise your arms sideward," I was behind her by then. "Then cross your left leg to the back. There! Then do the same using your right leg."

She was doing well. "You're doing great Anna! Let's try now with me doing the opposite direction in front of you."

"Oh Frida...I'll try my best, okay?" She shyly told me.

We danced. Basically, it was just a warm-up that we were trying to memorize. Anna reached for my shoulder, "Frida wait! Slow down!"

Of course the feelings rose again. Frida, the limits please. You know how much they will hate you if you continue. "Okay, Anna. Step one two... step one two..." I wrapped my arms on her waist just to guide her. We were looking at each other's eyes just to train ourselves, but it was different for me.

By the end of it, she accidentally stepped on my foot 'cause she moved her leg to the front. I lost my balance and fell, pulling her towards me on the floor.

"Hey Frida, you okay? I'm sorry for stepping on your foot." Anna looked worried and apologetic.

"Who are you? Am I dead? Are you an angel?" I pretended.

"What did you say? Me? Angel? You're so funny Frida!" Then she pat my shoulder, and got up. She reached for my hand and helped me get up as well. "Get up from there! You're still alive girl!"

We laughed about it and continued practicing.

Anyway, touring and recording still continued this time. Oh! Even music video shooting, I meant promo shooting continued too. The most fun shoots were during Dancing Queen and Fernando.

Dancing Queen was fun to shoot 'cause we danced, and the song was just my favorite. I really liked it that I tend to cry to its beauty. Oh! And Anna just made the right moves, I was so proud of her. Fernando, on the other hand, was fun 'cause the concept was just so touching. It was adorable to see the two men playing their guitar under the starry night, and it was sweet moment to cherish with Benny and Anna. It was really sweet. Sorry. I have to repeat it again.

Months after shooting, we went to Australia. We were a hit there. Funny that it was hard for them to pronounce Agnetha, as if there was an alternate. Well, give them the consideration Fri. But there was something else that just highlighted the tour that hurt me a bit.
