Bora Bora Baby

Dreams

I went to the bathroom. Benny must have already gotten up, he wasn't in bed with me. I walked up the stairs, looking at each one closely. I went up on deck expecting it to be 10:00 am, but instead it was 2:00 am. I was so confused and suddenly my stomach grew the size of being pregnant for 9 months. "Oh my gosh, my babies!" I thought to myself. I started crying the tears streaming down my face. I walked around the boat to look for Benny. I saw him leaning over a beautiful blonde, kissing and making love to her. It was Agnetha. The tears streaming down my face more and more, I was crying hysterically. I then drowned in my own tears.

Frida woke up with Benny rubbing her shoulder. She was crying and shaking. "Baby what's wrong?" Benny asked so concerned and trying to comfort her. "Shhh, it's okay!" He whispered in her ear. "Talk to me, Frida."

She turned over to look at him and started crying even harder. She couldn't get the image of the love of her life and her best friend having an affair. She couldn't look at him. She got up and ran out their bedroom, her hand was over her mouth and she was sobbing. She ran up the stairs and to the bench in the covered part of the vessel, and cried. Her night gown was soaked in her tears, and by then she didn't even remember why she was crying. After a few minutes of crying she started sorting out what happened in her head, not realizing that Benny had taken a seat beside her two minutes ago. He was waiting for her to stop crying. She had rested her hands beside her and tried to calm down. She was looking down at her feet and trying to settle her breath. Benny carefully slipped his hand on hers and wrapped his fingers around hers. She looked over and started to get up to run away. Tears were streaming down her face but Benny wouldn't let go of her hand. "Let me go, Benny!" Frida yelled crying. She sobbed. "Benny!" She cried. "Stop! Let go!" Benny noticed that her eyes were spilling tears down her face.

"Frida," he whispered. "Talk to me baby."

"Don't fucking call me that!" She yelled and tears came out even more, which seemed impossible to her. She started pulling her arm away from him and tugging. He grabbed her with his other hand, and pulled her into a hug. She was fighting against it, and screaming and crying and Benny was trying hard to keep her against his chest.

"Frida," he whispered. "Calm down, Anni-Frid," she cried more but eventually gave up trying to leave. He started to rock her side to side and close his eyes. He could feel her shaking. He started to cry too. "Frida, please." He swallowed. "You're making me nervous and you being stressed can hurt our babies and... Frida, I love you." Frida got the chills. Her dream seemed so real and she couldn't imagine it.

"Benny," she said.

"Yes?"

"Benny, I had a horrible nightmare." She started. "And I went from 2 weeks to 9 months pregnant," she wiped her eye. "And I came up to see you, but you," she cried more. "You were having sex with Agnetha," Benny gave Frida the most surprised and disgusted face.

"I mean Agnetha is sweet and everything but," He shook his head surprised. "I wouldn't do anything like that, you know it."

"You better not Benny Andersson!" This time she accepted the hug, and wrapped her arms around his shoulders and neck. He kissed her neck.

"I love you Frida," he said in her ear.

"I love you too," she said and smiled through the last of her tears.
