Dark Night Dark Light

Chapter 34

I walk around the house. Helping Ville set up all of the bowels and dishes that he has made. I am wearing a grey lace cocktail dress. My hair is up with ringlets that flow around my face. It took me forever to get them to do that. Ville seems to be in high spirits today. At times he is whistling as he sets up for the dinner party. 

He has been in the kitchen since four in the morning making all of the things that he is setting out. The simple fact that he is whistling and having a great time before everyone shows up is enough to keep a smile on my face.

My stomach has not really settled down because we have not found Aaron yet. Risto and I looked everywhere yesterday and could not find him anywhere. I do know that if that man wants to hide he is pretty good at it. So good that I don't know where he is. The thought that Aaron could be anywhere at the moment and waiting for his most opportune time to force me to come with him is enough to make me want to vomit. 

Ville's parents are the first ones to show up at the party. I simply love Ville's mother. She is a small pistol of a woman. It is incredible how her small body can fit that much attitude in it. I have her to thank for Ville's looks because he resembles his mother all the way. Even down to his attitude, he is a perfectionist sometimes and will settle for nothing less than perfection most of the times. I bet that there are times while he is out on tour when others don't want to work with him due to that.

Ville's father is very laid back. He is the one that allows his wife to steal the show all of the time. While he is a loving father at times you can see the disciplinary side of him as well. He is the type of person that is all about business. That part of Ville I think that he got from his father. His father runs a sex shop and it does very well. Now that Ville is famous it does even better. It takes a very strong level of business and restraint of Ville's father to watch people walk into the store and know what they are purchasing, while still keeping a straight face. But maybe that is the American in me. I know that I would not be able to sell some girl a sex suit knowing that she can't fit into it or sell some guy a strap on knowing that he has a girlfriend who will be using it on him. Not that I disagree with any of that or look down on any of that, I would just see the humor of it all, especially if the guy is very innocent looking. 

Come to find out Torsti will not be making the event this evening. He is on a long vacation with his girlfriend in Sweden. I guess after he arrived back home he decided that he wanted to go on a vacation. With as many things as he did in the states, all the help that he gave, I could see why he feels that way. If I were him I would take a prolonged vacation as well. In fact if all of this shit with Aaron ever gets done that is what I want to do. I want to be on a beach with Ville sipping from a very large glass with an umbrella in it. 

Risto and his girlfriend walk through the door. Yesterday Risto was very afraid that Ville might catch us in the lie. I am actually shocked that he decided to show up today. I have never seen his girlfriend before, and it is a shock to me that she would look the way that she does. I always thought that she would have this rock and roll type of look. But she looks like some kind of flower child. 

Risto walks his girlfriend up to me, "Honey, I want you to meet Ville's girlfriend, Lucy," Risto tells her. 

I am met with the cold green eyed stare from his girlfriend. She nods her head and continues to look at me. Almost like she is looking right through me. I know that she probably is very upset with me since it was Aaron that messed Risto up and put him in the hospital. I know that I would be upset if it was Ville that was put in the hospital because of some girl and her crazy ex.

Bam and Missy pull into the driveway. I have never been so happy to see them in all of my life. Now I don't have to be in the presence of a girl that I know hates my guts. As soon as the car parks Missy jumps out and walks over to me to give me a hug.
