It was Saturday morning and I could hear Lars making a racket downstairs in the kitchen. I turned over in bed and put the pillow over my head. I had just had a wonderful dream where Oscar from the office was taking me from behind in the lunch room with everyone watching. I tried going back to sleep but just as I was imagining Oscar putting his hands on me again, I heard Lars yelling from below.
“Bye! See you all tomorrow night!”
I took the pillow off my head and yelled back.
“See you tomorrow!”
I felt a bit bad that I hadn’t gone up with him to have breakfast. I had completely forgot that he was going away for the weekend. I heard the door close and the house went silent again. The kids probably wouldn’t wake up until noon or so. I had the whole morning to myself. I closed my eyes and pictured the scene in the lunch room again. Oscar was standing there in front of me with his muscular arms stretched out towards me. Behind him were my colleagues with my boss Johan with his arms crossed and his usual stern look on his face.
