51. Breaking the ice

Venla feels so distant even though she’s sitting close to Ilari. It's like she's vary, untrusting and can't relax. What the Hell happened that she's so uptight now? Ilari can't figure it out. Something definetly happened. Venla was earlier so relaxed, easygoing and trusting so diffirence to this day is huge. But she's here and that's what matters. Ilari has chosen a comedy and with it Venla is finally starting to relax. She even laughs aloud.


 After the movie they decide to order pizza (Venla dislikes mushrooms, Ilari pineapple so they have to compromize) and poor Lucky can't help begging and drooling all over the place. Venla finds desperate animal cute and funny. And they talk. Those are everyday things, but they still talk like that thing – whatever it was - didn't come between them.
- Come here. Ilari says and suddenly he's really close. Venla feels funny. If she wouldn’t know better she would think there's hint of desire in Ilari’s eyes. Like he actually wanted her. 
– You are so sweet. You know that? He says tenderly and touches Venla’s face. He runs his finger over Venla’s lips and leans in. Oh god. He’s actually going to kiss! Venla feels butterflys in her stomach, but hardens herself. 
- Tell me about Virpi. Venla says and turns her head away. Temperature drops instantly. 
- Why, Ilari frowns and his hand droppes from her face. 
- She must be really exceptional woman, Venla says. 
– What makes you think that? 
– She left you, but you aren’t giving up and try to win her back. 
– Mm, yeah. That. He leans back. 
– So she must be special. 
– I don’t know about that. 
- So tell me what she is like? Ilari blinks. This IS wrong. 
– She’s beautiful. Ilari starts. 
- Thought so, Venla mumbles. 
– Very confident, very ambitious, high maintenance girl in full meaning and eh, this feels wrong. 
- Howcome? 
- Talking to you about Virpi. 
- Then Is this really ok? 
- Howcome? 
- If you try to win your ex back and we are almost kissing here?
