9. Pool party continued 2

- What's going on? Susanna asks when Iida comes back.

- Virpi dumped my brother, Iida sighs. - He's in terrible mood and I think he's already drunk.

- Oh my, Susanna looks empathetic.

- Better this way, Iida reaches for a drink. - I never liked that jealous cow. 

- So he's really heartbroken? Susanna confirms.

- Looks like it, Iida replies. -I just hope he comes to his senses, cause he's intolerable right now.

- Poor Syde. I better check on him, Susanna worries.

- Alpha male down, I repeat. Alpha male down, Tanja says unemphatically and girls can't help but laugh.

- So, give yourself some time, Susanna tries to comfort Ilari. - I know it must hurt, but it will pass. Ilari waves his hand vaguely in the air.

- Fuck Virpi, he says angrily. - Fuck everything.

- Get someone new, Jesse suggest. - It will go away same way as it came. Toni agrees and nods.

- Please, Susanna rolls her eyes. - You are not helping. 

- I could have her for tonight, Ilari mumbles and looks behind Susanna. She followes the drunken look and gets a concerned look.

- No. No no no. You don't mess with your friends.

- I don't know her. Who cares?

- I do. Susanna's looks turn stern. - Stop being such a dick. Venla's had so much shit in her life and certainly doesn't need more from you. 

Ilari grunts and Susanna crosses her arms and somehow manages to pull off authority that would tame a lion.

- Deal with your demons. You are not going to spread your bad feelings to another person. She articulates very clearly. - Understood? Ilari shifts uncomfortably but says nothing - Is this clear, Sydänmaa?

- Yes Ma'am, he replies.

- Go get some strong black coffee, Susanna's expression softens. - You know I love you, but you're too wasted for own good now.
