S2 43. Why are you still dating?

- Shouldn’t you go somewhere? Tomas reminds Oona. 

– It got cancelled, she replies and crawls to his side. – Shouldn’t you be somewhere? 

– I have a day off. 

– I didn’t know. 

– We should talk more, don’t we? 

– That would be great, but… ever since you started working there it feels diffirent. Talking isn't so easy anymore.

– It’s just work, Tomas sighs and wraps his arms around Oona. – Madeleine is at work, it’s quiet and we are both home. That feels nice. 

- Mm. It's really nice.

– So you know, I need to travel next week again, Tomas says. 

– Again? Oona frowns.

 - There’s some important things that needs to taken care of. 

– To Firenze again? 

– How did you know about Firenze? 

– Madde went thru your stuff. 

Tomas mouths some curses in swedish and takes a long breath. 

– I made her to swear she keeps her mouth shut, Oona explains.

– I need to talk to her again about it, Tomas huffs irritated.

– You should. She doesn’t understand the importance of not knowing. 

– I know. Tomas caresses Oona’s hair. – But you can’t handle it either. It's eating you so badly. 

Oona nods quietly. 

– You are right. We need to talk about it but can we just stay like this for a while? It feels good now and I don’t want to go there now. 

– That's fine. Love you, baby girl. 

– Love you too.

- You got new ink, Ronja notices right away coming closer. It's perfect weather for their workout.

– Finally got my appoitment for it. I’ve wanted it for a long time, Oona smiles. – Even thought Tomas didn’t like it one bit. He thinks untattooed skin looks the best. 

– Why are you still dating him? Ronja questions her friend. 

– Why what? 

– Everytime we see you you are discontent with him. 

– I didn’t meant to be, Oona is thoughtful. – Am I really that bitching? 

– Nah. It’s more like you are just unhappy with the man. 

– Hmm. 

– Listen honey, just ditch the guy and come back to femme camp. 

– I’m not going to put 9 years to bin just like that. Oona rolls her eyes.

– Just saying, Ronja shrugs. – There’s so many girls just waiting for a chance to make you happy.

- I think we want our hen night together, Ronja muses. – We don’t want to split our friends in to two separate teams. 

– Any wish for the timing! Oona wants to know. 

– I’ll check Nora’s schedule and let you know all possible times. 

– Do you do cover up when the date is set? 

- Check! 

- I also need list whom you want to be there? 

– I need to think about it. 

– Any wishes what you want to do? 

– I’d love to see Nora on the other side of camera for once. 

– Like budoir photoshoot? Oona is amused.

– Sounds yummy! 

– So is it more for you or for her? Oona smirks. 

– Both I guess. Ronja muses. 

– Any special things you’d want to do or would be good for Nora? 

– I’ll tell you as soon as those come into mind. 

– So good party? Sauna, booze, games and clubbing? I have some other things in mind too, Oona thinks.

– Sold!

Summer finally reached Finland and Oona takes full advantage of her day off work. Some reading and just staying out, relaxing and feeling sun on your skin. 

Iiro just cancelled another drawing session with her and it makes her wonder what's going on. Maybe he found some summer bimbo to hang with and doesn't feel like drawing anymore. Oh well. Not her problem really.

Or then it is. 

Tomas's summer vacation is about to start and she awaits it and doesn't want it to happen simultaneously. They both have great expectations and it always end up in argument and fighting. Drawing sessions would have been great to get a little breathing space.
