Coffee Stains - A novel based on The Fooo Conspiracy

8. basement

After that evening at Oscars/Olly's place, I decided to stay as far away from Oscar as possible. That means finding a new job. But since I'm very competitive, I thought that he should be the one finding a new job since he is the one having a problem with me working with him. So either, I have to win him over, or I have to make him hate me so much that he leaves on his own. Either way: its going to take a lot out of me. I think I am choosing to flirt with him so Alicia would break up with him or he would quit his job for her. So when I went to work on monday, the movie night was at Saturday, this is what happened:

As I enter the coffee shop I try to be as cheery as possible. "Good morning Oscar! How was your Sunday yesterday? Mine was awesome! I watched all Harry Potter movies! The ones with the bonus material! I just love Hogwarts!" I say because Oscar is making coffee so he can't move anywhere. He rushes around. "You watch Harry Potter?" He seems surprised. "Ah yeah? I love it! It's the best movies ever made! Duh!" I point out the obvious. Then I start working. I notice Oscar not taking his eyes off me. I'm guessing Alicia hates the magical movies...

"Klara could you go and get some coffee beans?" Ariana instructs me and I nod. I go down into the basement. It's one of those gross dusty muddy basements. I hate that kind. Right after the basement door, the stairs expand and there are piles of stuff piled up. Like coffee cups and lids and bags. After the stairs the room makes a knick and gets bigger. There on the wall in front of me are sacks full of coffee beans. And that's what it smells like down here. Coffee. I love the smell. It reminds me of freedom and love. It smells like Stockholm makes me feel. Free. I breathe in and enjoy the smell to the very end. Suddenly I feel someone standing behind me. He is not Touching me, but I can feel his body heat on my back. I rush around. He stands there and just looks at me. This time his look is different. Behind his green eyes I can make out a fight between emotions. On top of all emotions is desire. This look makes me feel uncomfortable, yet beautifuly beloved. Still I yield backwards until a decorating table stops me. He hasn't lost a millimeter between us and since there is no where I can go now, I sit on the table. Oscar puts his hand on my leg. Where his fingers touch my bare skin, goes a prickle towards all over my body. Then he smiles at me. A beautiful, breathtakingly, pretty, heartwarming smile. I have never seen one of those coming from him... "Oscar-" he doesn't let me finish and interrupts me. "Don't say anything." As he says this, Oscar leans down even further. Even if I wanted to move back, I couldn't. I am a useless stature, a frozen plaything for Oscar. When he moves his hand off my leg, I can feel an emptiness that replaces the blazing trail of sparks on my skin. Then he takes my face between his hands, still looking right at me. I look back up at him. Then he comes all the way down. His lips touch mine. Like last time. Though this time is very different. He kisses me yes, but his kiss is more demanding this time. More secure. Last time he kissed me but tried to not kiss me. This time he actually wants to. This time I want to as well. So I wrap my arms around his neck and my legs around his torso. His hands walk up and down my back and turn me into a fire ball. Then I feel his fingers crawl under my shirt and I catch myself having already started slipping my fingers up is shirt to feel his abs. He puts me back down on the table, our lips not departing. My hands go to his pants and I hold on to the top of his pants. Just before we start ripping off each others clothes, I realize that I don't want my first time to be in a dirty, dusty basement. So I push Oscar gently off me. Our lips depart and we both sigh. "Oscar we can't do that!" I say my forehead leaned on his. "Why? Because of Alicia? I'll break up with her!"
I shake my head. "That and it would be my first time..."
I look down and blush. Oscar moves backwards. Great I blew it. "Oh" I hear him make. I am too embarrassed to look him in the eyes. Instead, I stare hard on the ground trying to calm down my beating heart. When I finally find the courage to move, he is gone.
What just happened? Is this for real? Did he really say he'd dump Alicia for me? I wouldn't want that because I don't want to die just yet. So I pick up the bag I brought with me from the floor and fill it up with coffee beans.
