80. Who planted that in to your head?

- Do you think I’m some mindless bimbo who can’t think of her own or have my own will? Venla snaps.

– What why? 

– I didn’t have much chance? Come on! 

– Iiro is very good to get what he wants, Ilari frowns. -I’ve seen it happen so many times. Succeeding with almost impossible cases. 

– Do you really trust me so little? Venla’s brows knit together. 

– No, I… okay. I’m digging this hole I’m in just deeper? Ilari grimaces. 

Venla nods. 

– I’m not much of a talker, Ilari admits and sighs. – I’m not brightest guy out there either, but I try my best here. I was wrong, Apparently should just shut my hole but first. I’m sorry. I really am.

- I want to know something, Venla says and keeps her distance.

– Sure. I’m tired to bang my head to your door because someone said something and you freaked out. Let’s get it all out for good. 

– Good. Because I’m this full of that too, Venla shows level of her head - So. Do you still have pics of Virpi? 

– Um, why yes? Ilari gets confused. – My life, my history. 

- In your wallet? Venla specifies. Ilari thinks it over and his face tells it all. Venla is ready to break things again. 

– So I AM rebound and you’re still thinking about her. Her voice is icy.

– What fuckery is this now? Ilari gets annoyed. – Who the fuck planted that--- Iiro. It was Iiro, right? 

Venla nods. 

-I'm going to kill him when he gets back from granny's place! Ilari hisses.

– I don’t want to be just a rebound or fuck buddies neither, Venla starts – If you are still thinking of her or your heart isn’t free I can’t do this anymore. 

– Well. I’m right here. The whole man, Ilari says. 

– What about Virpi? Venla frowns. Ilari takes the pic out of his wallet, crumples it and throws away. 

- Who? 

– Don’t play stupid, Venla curls her lips. 

– All I can see is gorgeous blonde whom I like to get to know more. It’s all that fits here, he taps his forehead. – Honestly, there’s not much else than you nowadays. 

- Really? Venla isn’t yet convinced. – but is your heart truly free? 

– Venla. I’m kind of oldfashioned man. There only one woman in my life at the time. It’s you. No one else. 

Venla holds her breath. Ilari reaches out and pulls Venla closer and she doesn’t fight back. 

- I like myself when I’m with you. You make me a better man. Ilari whispers to her ear and hugs her. They are silent for a while and then Venla leans her head to Ilari’s chest.
