Forever never lasts

                                    

                                          
"The only reason that were going into the sauna now is so Joonas and I can't have our guitar duel anymore, right?", Keno whispers into my ear just before we reach the entrance of the sauna. "What? Why would you think something like that? I mean, it's the last evening that we're here and what is there better than sweat off some calories after dinner?", I ask jokingly and can't help smiling.
The last few days went by as If it were only a couple of minutes. It seems to me as if we only arrived in Helsinki a couple of hours ago ad now it's only a couple more hours that we're here. While the boys had interviews I walked through Helsinki with Keno and got a few souvenirs, also some that Keno should bring home to my family substituting for me obviously. The day in the amusement park was also more than funny and showed me that I really did find the right place to live.
Neither Joel nor I bring up the incident between Joel and myself again. Which then again means I'm trying to keep my distance from him while he acts as if nothing even happened and therefore includes me as if we were good friends like he was doing before. In my opinion that isn't the case though. Because the incident was rather, let's say weird. What ever was going on in his head when he suddenly begs for me to lie to him and then got closer than close after that. I personally am trying not to keep eye contact with him for too long which isn't the easiest when he keeps trying to do the opposite.
I actually did think of the idea to go to the sauna very spontaneously. I wanted to spend some real time with Keno and wanted to be able to remember it which probably wouldn't have been the case if they would have had the guitar duel if it escalates like it did the last time. So I thought I'd go for a safer option and just suggest a relaxing session at the sauna.
Keno, who quickly pushed infront of me, sits down right next to Aleksi in the sauna while I just sit down next to my German friend. As we're sitting pretty much in the middle of the sauna and were also the first ones to go inside, anyone could have sat down next to me but of course it's no other than the blond singer that comes into the sauna with a wicked grin and sits down next to me immediately. I should have known but a deep as I was sunk in my thoughts that it's the last day we're here I obviously didn't think about that. I can only say it's my own fault unfortunately.
When everyone is sitting in the sauna the conversations start around the question that I haven't even dared myself to ask myself. "At what time is your flight back tomorrow, Keno?", Tommi asks and leans back on the back of the wooden bench. "Well, my flight is at half four so I should be at the airport for about half two. But I think you'll be gone earlier than that anyway.", he explains and wipes a strand of his already sweaty hair out of his face. "The more important question is, when are we planning to drive off?", Aleksi asks the question to the rest of the band.
With his eyes and mouth open wide Keno turns around to Aleksi horrified. "Excuse me? Did you just say that I'm not important?", he asks with a sarcastic tone in his voice. "No worries, Keno, it was a very important question for me as I know that I can still see you tomorrow now.", I say and wink in Keno's direction a few times who then pulls me into a hug. "Awwww, that makes me happy, Lia.", he replies as if I really were the most important thing in the world. "Should we tell your girlfriend that Hilja means more to you than she does, or does she know that already?", Olli laughs.
When we separate from the hug I turn to Olli and laugh aswell. "She knows that, believe me. I was the first person that met her after she got together with Keno. I told her from the very beginning that he might fall in love with her but I will always be his number one.", I explain which makes Keno look up at the ceiling and just says dryly: "Well, that's at least what it was like before you moved to Finland." – "Don't you dare to use that as your counter argument and then you will see where your girlfriend is very quickly. You kept her a secret for long enough already.", I warn the light brown curly headed one.
