S2 70. Crossroads

 Oona sits on the cold tiled floor and draws a long breath. What is going on? It feels her body and her mind are betraying her. Yesterday she could have gave a testimony at court that there’s nothing between them. Today her whole body was tingling just because they had some skin contact. Like it was ready to go.

Did she want it? Oh yes. Part of her wanted to march back there and take in every inch Iiro had for her. Even
The slightest thought of that makes her lower abdomen tighten and soft "oof" escapes her lips. What would
happen then? There’s no way they could be friends anymore.

He had that reputation, probably had even record of how many he had been with and then that one thing. Girlfriend. Iiro had girlfriend. No way she was going between them just to get a moment of pleasure. And that leads to bigger question.

It was long long time she actually felt like this. Felt something close to desire. What if her body would betray her
again? What if the usual thing would happen and her brain, doubts and thought would come forth and
override it all. There was too much at stake here. No, she couldn´t do this. It was far too scary. Better to stay far from that bedroom.

She ain't coming back.

Iiro waited and waited some more. Back to square one. Fuck this. There clearly was something between them but he knew this much already. Even though they had troubles, Oona had that big scary looking alpha dude by her side. There wasn't any chance for him against Ilari so why he even thought he had something in line with that other guy? Fat chance. Dude, look at yourself. You have nothing.

Why the hell he still got bothered over Oona anyway? She was a dream that vanished in to thin air when you tried to reach for her. Won't you ever learn? Friendzone is friendzone. Dream is a dream. Reality is cold and hard. Except... He reaches for his phone and notices one missed call. It makes a little smile to surface. There is a real thing. Lively, fun and teasing redhead who didn't run away. A real person who wanted his company.

- You called? Iiro mumbles to @taikatuuliadoll . His voice is still hoarse from sleeping.
- I just tried if you are still within reach?
- Sorry, didn't hear it. It was quite a party. You missed me? He tries to get playful tone.
- I thought so, she chuckles. - Would you like to be missed?

Iiro is silent for while. Taika didn't realize but she really hit the mark here. She just flirted but that was really big thing for him. He holds his breath before answering.
- Not bad idea at all. It would feel nice to be missed.
- Well. I kinda missed company in the shower awhile ago, Taika giggles.
- Fuck. You really are a serious tease.
- Oh, sorry. That's cruel when you are still hangover. Are you?
- My hair feels little sore, yeah. Teasing with mental images like that right when you wake up is harsh. You're a cruel woman.

- Talking about cruel women, there's been something very bizarre going on here but let's talk about that later on. Now I'd recommend cup fulls of strong black coffee and cold shower if you still plan to party today. You can imagine me with you in that shower...
- Damn, you tease! Iiro huffs. Can't wait to see you. I want to show you my bathroom. You really should see the tiling there. Masterwork I tell you!
- Ooh.. . You might need to make that real, Taika says in flirting tone. - Don't get too bad hangover for monday.
- I won't and hey, anytime.
- Ok then! She smirks. - I better let you get off the leash. Call me when you get home!
- Yea, sounds like a plan. Hope you won't be so cruel to me anymore, Iiro smiles. Taika made him already feel better.
- We'll see. Who knows if you'd like it? She bursts into laughter. - I did it again. Sorry! Bye bye! She ends the call laughing.
