Me Plus Her

Oh! Hi...again.

"Babe, I feel so excited to meet this woman!" I exclaimed.

"I think you've already known her." Björn replied to me while driving. "I mean, it's all over the news babe."

"Babe, I read the paper in the morning, but I skip the entertainment section all the time." I pouted.

"And I think you already know her..."

Who could she be? Could it be Frida 'cause she the only one I knew who was close to Benny's age? I got more curious. Try asking more Agnetha. "Tell me more, babe. Please."

"She's a woman." He joked.

"You're spoiling the fun. Keep spilling the beans, hon." I replied. Gosh! Don't hide her from me.

"Here's a clue. She joined Melodifestivalen. Now that's it, babe. We're almost there."

There were too many artists who joined Melodifestivalen. There were a lot of women. He never told me the year. But when he said it, I assumed she was a more recent partcipant.

I could recall that time I read that Frida joined Melodifestivalen. Oh crap! Could it be her?

Those thoughts were bugging me until we reached Benny's place.

"Here we are, babe. You'll meet her in a while. I guess you have it all figured out." Björn told me as he turned off the engine.

I looked at him. "I still don't know, babe. But I have a guess."

"Are we thinking of the same person?" He smirked.

"Can't tell. A secret is a secret."

I saw him went out of the car, pretending to be mad at me. Like I said it was acting, and he opened the car door for me to get out. "Not fair, but I think you are right." He offered his hand, and I held it. "Let's go."

Björn pressed the doorbell. I was still holding his hand, letting him feel the excitement as I was shaking. "You'll do fine, babe. She's a nice person. And I bet you'll like each other."

I smiled back at him as he did the same to me. We were about to share another moment, but the door opened.

It was Benny. Gosh! I thought it's the girlfriend. "Hi there lovebirds! Did I disturb you?" He gave a chuckle.

"I'm supposed to ask you that question. I guess you can remember..."

"Agnetha! Hi again!" Benny cut Björn and shook my hand.

"Hello Benny." I responded with a smile.

"Come in you two." And we all did as Benny led us inside. Björn's arm was around my waist. I just felt so secure, but it never removed the curiosity and excitement to meet the lucky woman.

Their place was cozy. It was neat. There were books shelved and preserved. It can be featured in a magazine.

"Have a seat." Benny told us

We were seated on a sofa across two doors; one for the bedroom, and the other for the washroom. Benny was on a sofa across the sofa Björn and I were seated.

"Are you excited for dinner?" Benny asked.

"You mean double-date." Björn jokingly responded. "Where is she, by the way?"

I nudged Björn out of jealousy. It made me jealous due to the manner of his speech. "Sorry babe." I apologized.

"You're always my babe, okay?" He smiled back at me. Then I leaned my head on his shoulder.
