34. Cavemen cockblocked

- I could fuck you, the dark haired man mumbles to Venla and blocks her way. He's totally wasted. 

- Gee, thanks but no thanks, Venla rolls her eyes. This night has totally been weird. – I don’t even know your name. She tries to push him away, but big man won't move. 

– Antti, he introduces himself.

 - Ok Antti. You've had enough. 

- You could get ride of your lifetime. 

- Yeaaaaaah right. What makes you think I want it?

- You're on Tinder so you're looking to get laid.

- Go home and sleep your head clear, Venla says and starts to get annoyed. - You are so drunk you probably wouldn't even get it up. Venla shakes her head and that distracts him clearly. 

- Some other time then, he tries. 

– Want a ride home? Ilari steps in. -I'm about to leave. They turn to look at him and Antti throws a murderous glance to Ilari. 

-Stay out of this Sydänmaa. Ilari answers back with hard gaze. There's clearly a fight going on though they don't say a word. Venla imagines two snarling and barking dog's in her mind. After a while Antti averts his eyes. Ilari reach out his hand to Venla. 

- Are you coming? Venla looks at it, stuttering Antti and back to Ilari. She takes his hand and Ilari guides her closer, puts his hand to her waist. It's like a red post that says: mine. – Till The next time, Ilari says to Antti and checks his back. Antti fists his hands. Drunk and angry, It's clear to Venla.

- What the hell was that? Venla says and sounds annoyed when they get outside. 

- What was? Ilari says, lifts his collar up. He let of Venla’s waist as soon they were out. 

- That? Venla's voice get another pitch.

 - Hmm? 

- That machobullshit with your friend!

 - What do you mean? 

- I didn't need your help with him! Venla is angry. 

- Incorrect. You don't know him, Ilari shrugs. 

- Whatever, I know how to take care of myself but I don't want to be involved in some testosterone fight. 

- Huh? 

- Oh, don't try to face ignorance. Venla snaps. - You just had to come there, walk over him and show you are more superior! That you succeeded in what he couldn’t 

- Wtf? 

- Please. Don't make me spell it. Leader of the gang marks his territory and wants to show his rival he's The Alpha Male and gets the girl. FYI, I’m not part of your territory NOR your property! Ilari frowns and sees Venla is really angry. 

- I didn't mean it like that, he says. 

- Wow, so it just came out naturally? Venla isn't pleased at all. 

- Look. You really don't know him. Ilari is getting tense too. – You have no idea what he's capable of when he's drunk.

 - Whatever, Venla hisses. 

- I don't expect you to be extatic about it, but leaving same time with me probably saved your ass being groped or worse. He's just back from operation, saw your Tinder account and his opportunity. All the guys are walking timebombs first days after operation. They just want to get wasted and laid. 

- What do you care? Venla is still sour. – What If I wanted to fuck him? 

- Suit yourself, Ilari growls back. - Then go back and fuck him. They sit into the car and Ilari drives home in dead silence.
