Venla takes a long walk by the sea. Since she was raised in finnish archipelago, lived in that garrison island, sea has always been important to her. It feels so calming just to look at the water and know anywhere in the world you are, it's the same. The Sea.
She definetly needs some calming right now. Trouble with Eetu (who hasn't replied to her texts in few days) and that confusing thing that happened with Ilari. Venla doesn't know what's happening. So she just looks at The Sea and let's it's waves to sooth her mind.
Ilari's heart almost stops. Virpi. Her parfume, poison, is so recognizable, he starts scouting. There. There she is. Dark haired and elegantly long legged as ever.
-Virpi! Ilari raises his voice and woman stops. Virpi turns around and frowns her delicate brows.
-Ilari, she says under her breath.
- Quite a coincidence to meet you like this, Ilari says and takes a good look at her ex girlfriend and tries to act not too pushy. - You look good. More than good.
-Thank you. Though you look awful, Virpi says coolly.
- Camo pants in public? A shirt with holes in it?
-They are comfy?
- Ilari. Haven't we talked about this before? Ilari decides to stop and ignore this subject. He doesn't want to ruin this by arguing.
-Listen, I've been thinking --
- No, Virpi stops him in middle of sentence.
- You don't even know what I was about to say, irritation sweeps into Ilari's voice.
- It's over. There's nothing to say.
- I think there's plenty to talk about. He disagrees.
- We need to move on, Virpi pushes Ilari's hand away when he tries to touch her.
- Why do you hate me like this now? Ilari grunts and crosses his arms.
- I don't hate you, Virpi's voice softens. -I just need to kill all the emotions towards you and it's too difficult if you are there.
- So don't do it. Ilari suggests and glimpse of hope lightens in his chest. - Come on. Let's have a coffee or something. This time Virpi let's him touch her arm.
- Only if you look more humane, Virpi let's a little smile to surface. That damn seductive smile that makes Ilari feel weak.
- Ok. I'll go and change. He says before thinking it. - It's a date then?
- You can pick me up at 5PM, Virpi says, turns around and gives him a long look under her lashes. - Make a reservation into my favourite restaurant and you'll pay.
Still no word from Eetu. Venla feels lonely and used. She's so miserable she stays in her nightshift the whole day and watch soap series from TV. Ok. This needs some serious thinking.
-I'm too easy, she whispers to her teddy. -It's going to stop now. I don't want to be just a piece of meat anymore.
