The Queen of Hearts

Chapter 2

I walked into the casino at exactly 8 o'clock. Agnetha was at the bar, buying herself a drink. She noticed me as I was walking towards her and said: "Frida, what are you doing here? I thought you were busy toninght."

I didn't know what to say so I just gave her quick a kiss on the cheek. "Oh," she whispered, "so it was you. I would've never thought that."

She took a step back and said: "Frida, you know I love you, but only as a friend. We can't do that."

"But haven't you ever wondered..."

"Well, of course I have, but what if the boys will find out. Or even worse, the paparazzi."

"They won't find out, I promise. But if you really don't want to do this, I will respect your decision and we can say that this conversation never happened."

Agnetha smiled and said: "Thank you, I would appreciate it." After that, she left and I went to play some poker.

I don't usually gamble but I have to say that I really enjoyed playing it that night. As most of the people at the casino recognized me, I decided to take advantage of the fact that I'm a star. I approached a handsome guy and asked if he could buy me a drink, which he obviosly did. He then gave me a napkin and asked for my autograph.
I wrote:

For the nice-looking guy from the casino

Love,
Frida

Then I signed the napkin, kissed it and gave it back to him. He was so happy I almost forgot what had happened earlier that night between me and Anna.

It was almost midnight when I finally left. I stood in front of Agnetha's room for about a minute, wondering what I should do. I felt a lot more confident than usually, maybe because of all the alcohol I had consumed, so I knocked on her door.

Few moments later Agnetha opened it. She had just showered so she wasn't wearing anything except for a white towel wrapped around her body. And she smelled amazing, just like those cherry blossoms we saw in Japan.

"What do you want, Frida?"

"You."

"You promised to leave me alone. Have you been drinking again?" she asked and adjusted the towel.

"No...well, maybe just a little."

Anna seemed dissappointed but not suprised after hearing that answer.
"I will go to sleep now, good night."

She switched off the lights and shut the door. I went to my room and lied on the bed for hours, unable to fall asleep. I just couldn't get her out of my head.
