Greek-American Beauty (Full House Fanfic)

Chapter 20 - Therese's Heartbreak

In 1986, my first solo album was released, and I was thrilled to know that not only did it do really well in the charts, but my single 'Mad About You' reached #3 on the billboard charts! It was a smash hit! I wrote that song (and many others) about Jesse and my love for him. I had also written songs about him when I was singing with the Go Go Girls. In turn, he'd written romance rock songs about me too! My favorite was "Lady Rock 'n' Roller".

I also sang that song 'Band Of Gold' with Freda Payne. It was her original song, and she agreed to sing it with me! It was so exciting, I even performed it with her on TV! We did it twice in fact, once on 'American Banstand' (where might I add, ABBA performed 11 years before) as well as 'Solid Gold' where I got to meet the gorgeous Marilyn McCoo!

But even better was that I got to sing "Wouldn't It Be Nice?" live - The song Beach Boys song Frida from ABBA covered on her 1975 album, AND IN THE VERY SAME KEY OF E! I know it may sound trivial, but it's not to me! I sang the SAME version as Frida, expect mine was in English of course!

The moment I came home, I put on the album 'Frida Ensam' right away and listened to her Swedish version of 'Wouldn't It Be Nice?'.

Once the song was over, Jesse didn't hesitate to jump me. I knew what he wanted. And I wanted it too! He kissed me passionately, felt my breast before unbuttoning my frilly white dress. He then took off his sweater and I wrapped my arms around his toned hot body. I always loved the contrast of his olive skin and my white skin, be it if we were holding hands of having sex! But it still didn't take away from the fact that we're both Greek.

Oh, he made love to me so passionately, I felt his love and desire for me. I came multiple times, and my orgasms brought him to climax as well. We just held each other tight afterwards, and fell asleep in each other's arms. We didn't need to say anything because we knew how we felt about each other.

But the most exciting news came in May of 1986 when Pam announced that she was pregnant yet AGAIN! I was so thrilled for her!

DJ was going up so beautifully. I've known that girl since she was a baby, and Stephanie, my gosh she was as adorable with her blonde, curly hair and sweetness, although sometimes she could be sassy. She'd recently developed this 'crying routine' to get Jesse to do what she wanted. Oh that sweet, sassy little Stephanie!

However, things weren't going too good for my friend Therese. A-ha were going on their usual European tours, and so I was surprised to see her back in America. She came to my door and broke down in tears as she hugged me.

"Therese! What's wrong?" I asked her, hugging her back.

"I ditched Morten." She sobbed. "I caught that son a bitch with another woman! Some Swedish girl with long blonde hair. Bastard!"

I brought her in to comfort her, and she didn't hesitate to tell me everything that happened.

"We were in Amsterdam, about to catch a flight to Sweden for one of a-ha's shows when I left briefly to go to the ladies room, and when I came back out, there he was, flirting with that bimbo."

"How awful!!" I told her.

"Tell me about it!" She sobbed into a tissue. "I must say lately things were taking a dive for us. He was performing all the time, too busy to make dates with me because of his sudden fame, our love was on the rocks, but that's no excuse for what he did. I'm gonna cry if I see Take On Me again, I know it."

"I can't tell you how terrible I feel." I told her. "I'm so sorry, Therese."

"Oh it's not your fault, Ophelia. I'm just glad you're here now. Thank you. You've always been like a sister to me." Said Therese. I cuddled her as she sobbed into my shoulder. She explained that when she caught Morten with the other woman, she immediately took a flight back to America, heartbroken.

"I'm just scared about what I'm going to do now." Said Therese. "I don't have a job, I don't know how I'll make money now."

"I think I might be able to help you with that." I told her, trying to cheer her up. "You know, I may be going solo, but I'd like it if you continued being my bass guitarist."

"Really?" She said, her face starting to light up. "Yes! I don't know another good bass guitarist like you."

"Oh, thank you thank you thank you!" Cried Therese, hugging me, overwhelmed with gratitude. And great timing too, because I was about to start recording my new album in the new year, and Therese could start right away! I still played guitar on all my songs as well as sang, so it'd be a bit like the old times when we were the Go Go Girls!

In no time at all, Therese was back in the game, acting in music videos, and playing the bass guitar like she knew how. She was stronger than before!
