A&B: A Love Story

Ep.45 I Can Give You A Ride

     The next day, Agnetha woke up really early. It was 6am and she was starving. She went to the kitchen quietly to not wake up Björn and his parents in the living room.
     - Damn it! There's nothing to eat! — she sighed.

     Definitely she had to dress up and go to the market. The market was close to her house and it was always opened. So she went to the bathroom, took a shower and got dressed. She left home and walked to the market. The market was full of merchants, selling fruit, vegetables, meat and fish. Seeing all of these made her feel hungry than ever, so she stopped by a small pastry shop. She asked for chicken pastel and coffee. Then, she bought fruit and the lady who was selling it recognized her and gave for free some vegetables. Agnetha accepted it because the lady insisted. She thanked her and then she went to the fishmonger and the bought salmon, cod and seafood. Oh she loved seafood!
     She didn't buy more things because she had already many things and she didn't brought the car with her. It was 8am and Agnetha decided to go back home, probably Björn was already awake.
     Then she came to the door to leave and she got so surprised! It was raining!
     - Oh my god! It's raining cats and dogs! It didn't bring my umbrella! Fuck!

     And suddenly someone said:
     - My lady, may I help you?

     And Agnetha looked to the person:
     - Benny?!
     - Me! Nice to meet you. — answered Benny with a cute smile
     - What are you doing here so early??? — asked Agnetha
     - Well, the last time I went here I bought potatoes and it was the best potatoes I've ever eat!
     - Really?
     - Yes, really! You need to try it out!
     - That's for the suggestion... How can you help me?
     - I can bring you home... Don't forget I'm with my car. — said Benny showing the keys
     - Oh. Thank you Benny! I totally forgot the umbrella...
     - No problem but you didn't see how the sky was? It was literally black...
     - I didn't look at the sky. — Agnetha admitted
     - Very smart. — Benny joked
     - Shut up! — and she pushed him for fun
     - Okay girl, let me help you with the bags.
     - Now I'm a girl? I thought I was a lady.
     - Lady girl puppy face. — Benny joked again
     - Oh god you are impossible! — and she gave him two bags
     - You know, I like you.
     - Benny, can you please open the umbrella? — asked Agnetha, trying to change the conversation
     - Of course, Agnetha. — he answer and opened it.

     They ran to the car and Benny opened the door for Agnetha first. When finally both were inside, Benny looked at her, smiling:
     - What? — she asked
     - You. — he said
     - Me what? — she asked again but this time she was laughing a bit
     - You are too cute.
     - Benny...
     - Agnetha?
     - I think we should talk about... Us.
     - There's nothing to talk about. — he said
     - Yes there is.
     - You know it was just for fun.
     - C'mon, you are always flirting with me! Frida is your girlfriend and she's amazing!
     - But I love Frida.
     - Are you serious? Because you don't show me that.
     - What do you mean?
     - You are always flirting with me and you never talk about Frida. You forget about Frida every time you are with me!
     - Agnetha, I find you cute. You are my friend. Frida is my girlfriend and I love her... — he said with a smile on his face
     - I don't find it funny, Benny. I'm talking about serious stuff and you are smiling like a jerk.
     - Oh, don't be so mean!
     - I'm not being mean. I just want to ask you to stop. I'm happy with Björn. All we had was a big mistake and....
     - Do you regret it? — Benny interrupted Agnetha
     - I love Björn. I want to build a family with him. I want to be happy. I want Frida to be my friend, I want you to be my friend.
     - At least you want me as a friend...
     - And what? What would you like to be to me??? — she asked with an angry voice
     - Nothing. I just want to have your friendship.
     - And why do you wanna fuck with me all the time, Benny Andersson?
     - But it doesn't mean anything more than a fuck.
     - No. It's enough for me. I can't live like this. If you insist, I will tell everything to Frida and Björn.
     - No! That's not necessary! I will stop. I promise you. — promised Benny with a sad face
     - Why do I have a feeling that you will not stop? Do you know what, I'm leaving. — said Agnetha and she opened the door
     - What are you doing? Close the door! I will not let you walk back home raining this much! — Benny asked her
     - Ok. But please let's go. I want to go home.
     - Of course.

     All the way home they didn't talk... 3 minutes of no talking. Agnetha was confused. She didn't understand why Benny was acting like that. She thought he would be a nice guy and respect her decision but it seems that he won't to let her go and live her life.
     - Thank you for the ride. — Agnetha broke the silence when they arrived
     - No problem. I'm here to help.
     - Ok, thank you. Bye. — she said
     - Do we still friends?
     - Don't worry about that. — she said and she opened the door of the car
     - Bye bye blonde girl. — Benny said but she didn't answer him and she closed the door.

     She ran fast to the building entrance and there was Björn.
     - Baby! What are you doing here? — she asked surprised
     - I saw Benny's car so that's why I'm here. Did you meet him? — Björn asked very confused
     - No!!!... I mean, yes but I just found with at the market. I went there and then I was about to leave and I realised it was raining and Benny came to me and he offered to give a ride. He was also at the market, buying potatoes. — she explained
     - What a coincidence. Let me ask him if he wants to come over.
     - Oh no.... — she sighed and Björn crossed the road and talked to Benny — I hope he doesn't accept Björn's invitation.

     Too late. Benny accepted and get out of the car and hugged Björn.
     - Benny will spend the day with us! — said Björn very excited
     - Humn. Cool... — said Agnetha not very excited and Benny smiled again to her.
