Iiro looks at his pint. Army service is finally done. Hooray. Much to do about nothing. He has spend long Christmas vacay at Joutsa at his granny's, played his usual moves there but it felt like nothing. iiro felt numb.
He hasn’t been in any contact with his brother since sending that stupid pic (and Ilari replying he's going to kick his ass.) Damn, he misses his bro. Hell he thought at the time?
It didn’t take too long for Iiro to realize Venla was too far with Ilari to really see him. He had no chance whatever. Goddammit that felt hard. More he learned to know Venla, more he liked her. Yes, even fell in love with her. He confessed it to her and that much was true. But what good it did to him? Nothing. Absolutely nothing more than sleepless nights, and losing fun on everything that used to be fun before. Beer tasted flat, girls looked boring and he didn’t even want to draw anymore. Venla probably figured out what he did and hated him for that. Thought of it was killing him.
Iiro raises his eyes from his beer and sees a new face. Just his type. Well hello. Good way to forget one girl is to get new one. It has worked before so why wouldn't it work now?
- Haven’t seen you here before? He says and the girl jumps. She didn't expect him to talk.
- Are you talking to me? She looks around her to check if there is someone else.
- No. I'm just talking with myself, Iiro smiles.
- Oh. Ok. Sorry, she says.
- Um. It was a joke. Not very good one, he admits. - Yes, I tried to talk to you.
- Oh.
- So. You are new around here?
- Just moved into the neighborhood, she replys with shy voice.
- Wellcome to the hood. I’m Iiro.
- Thanks! I'm Taika (means magic in finnish)
– Taika, huh? You sure must know some magic tricks?
- Ha ha, no.
– I hoped you know how to fix a broken heart? Iiro sighs
– Oh, sorry. I don’t know how to help. She looks symphatetic.
– Could you try?
- How?
– I could show you some magic tricks I know, Iiro raises his brow.
– Oh?
– We could spend the night together and poof, just like that I would be disappeared at the morning. You won’t even see it.
– Oookay? Girl seems uncertain where this is going.
– So?
– Uh, what?
– Shall we put our pissing gear together? She looks him with look of disbelief and disgust.
- Yuck. Forget it.
Iiro looks after the redhead as she leaves. Yep. That was as fun as masturbating with cheese grinder. He really has lost his touch. It was unduly rude, but nothing better came into his mind now. Sigh. He should learn how to be a nice guy.
