S2 16. This needs to stop

- Have you ever thought which came first, egg or chicken? Iiro goes on another end of bar.

– Um, no? Girl he talked with looks questioning.

– We could make some science and see finally who comes first. 

– Oh uh, The girl says and makes wry face. – Sod off, jerk! 

Oona listens at the scene and tries to hide her laughter. She has heard so many pick up lines behind the counter but Iiro definetly has the worst ones. She knows he has reputation but reality is more amazing than tales. Iiro sucks so hard it’s almost intentional.

- Now. I don’t want to throw you out of here, but this really needs to stop, Oona comes to talk with Iiro who's now distance working from the bar.

– What needs to stop?

– You harrassing my customers. Oona reminds him about his behaviour. - I've got so many complaints about you.

– Am I harrassing? Iiro is puzzled.

– Yes. Yes you are, Oona sighs. - At least let them make their orders and pay first. This is bad for business. 

– Sorry. Didn’t think that far. 

– Yeah, I see you aren’t thinking. 

– Um, okay. Sorry. He sounds embarrased.

– I heard you were legendary but now it’s just… sad. Oona shakes her head.

– Legendary what? Iiro raises his brows, doesn't know what this is all about 

– Legendary pick up artist. Emphasis on was. Now what you’re doing is like you want to make sure you’re rejected, like you are making a social suicide here, Oona points out. 

– Umm. Okay. 

– So are we clear? Let them order first, Make them hate you after that. Ok? 

– Ok.

Iiro takes a long breath and leans back. Social suicide? Was that what he was doing? 

Ok, he was certainly not feeling himself and lost his edge. He kind of kept punishing himself for letting his brother down. Letting Venla get away and ensuring she would never smile to him again. 

He lost two important persons just by being stupid. It felt better just to flog himself by making every woman he met feel disgusted of him. Oona's lecture made him feel embarrassed. Now he managed to do collateral damage to his favourite place.

Fuck. 

- Hi pretty face! 

Oona turns to look at the redhead in short skirt.

- Heeyyy babe! Haven't seen you for ages! Her face lightens up seeing a familiar face. - You look great!

- Thank you! I've had so much work to do! Nora laughs and hugs Oona. - I have big news for you!

- You got another honorary award? Oona hugs her back.

- No. We decided the date, Nora smiles and holds Oona's hands.

- You are getting married! 

- Yes! Put 7th of August into your calendar.

- Congratulations! I'm so happy for you two! 

- I have to ask something from you, Nora looks a bit nervous. - I need you to be there for my big day.

- Yes, yes, of course I come! Oona exclaimes. 

- You missed the point. I hope you'd be my maid of honour.

- Do I need to put a skirt on? 

- Black is an option.

- Ok. I'm in!
