So just pull the trigger.

13. I have this idea

"So, when are you having the housewarming party?" Jami asked. Two weeks had passed since their move. Jami had joined Joni for a shopping trip and they had stopped for lunch, sitting out on a terrace enjoying the last warm days of the early fall. Joni had iced water and chicken salad while Jami had beer and pizza.

"I guess in a few weeks, we'll let you know soon. Galina is coming for a visit but she doesn't know her work schedule yet so we'll wait until she does and throw the party the same weekend." Joni said. "I don't remember if I told you, but I signed up for a gym instructor course that starts next weekend." He smiled.

"Where is that?" Jami asked.

"Lohja, it's from Friday to Sunday and then there's another weekend held in October. If I like it, I can continue further, perhaps I'll become a personal trainer or something," Joni shrugged. "I'm still interested in physiotherapy studies as well."

"Okay, well perhaps you could plan a gym program for me... Although the greater challenge might be to get me excited to train at a gym." Jami smiled, taking a sip of his beer watching as Joni ate his healthy salad. "You make me feel like a lousy person."

"Come on, don't stress," Joni said. "I have photoshoots next week, I have to avoid everything that might make me bloated. That pizza looks delicious."

"I wouldn't be cut out for that," Jami nodded. "Plus I'm too short." He grinned. "But... speaking of which... I have this idea that I've been cooking... I'm leaving my current workplace, everything is still in the starting pit, but I'm setting up a salon with my co-worker and..."

"Oh, that sounds exciting!" Joni interrupted and Jami nodded, smiling.

"I am excited... She tried to talk me into this for months. Now I started feeling like I could use something new in my life and yesterday I told her that I accepted. I plan to terminate my current contract on Monday. Susa already has a place in mind, I'll go and check it out with her tomorrow... Anyway back to the idea: a hair fashion show to get new customers. I know the owner of one gay club and I plan to ask him if we could arrange it there and since you have modeling experience..." Jami gave Joni a hopeful look. "Could you be one of our models? I would cut your hair for free for an entire year."

"Sure, as long as you won't do anything funny, like dye my hair green or anything like that," Joni grinned.

"I promise!" Jami swore and smiled enthusiastically. "There is so much to do, this is so exciting! I will let you know the date as soon as I can and if you could ask Misha as well?"

"I can try," Joni promised although he knew it would be difficult to convince Misha. He wasn't the kind of person who enjoyed parading on stage. "I know some photographers if you need pictures as well. And I can ask some models I know if they would be available?"

"We are trying to make this happen with as low a budget as we can. But with that in mind, it would be great."

"Have you been looking for a new home with Ivo?" Joni asked after a moment of silence and Jami shook his head.

"The real-estate agent gave us an estimated price and the first open house is next week, but every time that I ask when we are going to see apartments, Ivo says he's too busy with work..." Jami shrugged and took another sip. Ivo had been acting peculiar after Joni's and Misha's move, somehow distant and it worried him. Maybe Ivo didn't want to live with him anymore? Perhaps this situation at home had made him accept his co-workers' idea of their own business, to distract his thoughts.

"I'm sure it will ease up soon," Joni comforted. "At least when the first offer comes. I'm sure Ivo will want to see new places then," he smiled.

"Yeah, or then we'll move into your guestroom," Jami said teasingly. "I'm sure Misha would love that."
