Lauren rolled over to her right and lifted Nick’s heavy arm over her shoulders, wiggling into his arms and against his chest. He mumbled something in his sleep as he stirred, settling once she was still. With a satisfied sigh, she dozed another twenty minutes before he nudged her awake.

“Babe, what time is it?” he said drowsily. Lauren looked around the room groggily, unable to even guess from the light in the room. She grabbed her phone off the nightstand to check but found the screen dark.

“I don’t know, my phone’s dead. What’s it matter anyway? It’s Sunday,” she said stretching her arms above her head.

He laughed. “No it isn’t, yesterday was Sunday.”

Lauren shot up in bed, suddenly remembering that it was indeed Monday, the room was much brighter than it normally was when she got up. She jumped to the bathroom and hit the light. Darkness.

“Fuck! The power is out!” Frantically searching the room, which amounted to tossing clothes around and spinning in circles. Lauren cried, “Don’t we have anything that isn’t electronic? Don’t people own watches anymore?”

“Calm yourself, lemme check my phone,” he said reaching into his jeans. “Shit, you are late. It’s almost eleven thirty.”

Lauren’s jaw dropped. “Are you fucking kidding me? Damnit, you know I hate being late!” She rushed around getting dressed. Grabbing the closest shirt and pair of jeans, Lauren flew around the room in record time. She splashed a little water against her face in the bathroom, stared at her reflection in the dark for a moment and muttered, “Screw the makeup.”

“You have flexi-time, what are you worried about?”

She jumped on the bed, landing on her knees and gave Nick a huge kiss. “I know, but I still have a lot of stuff to get done. Have a good day. I’ll text you later!”

As she rushed out the door, Lauren found Jess in the kitchen. “Power’s out,” she called over.

“I know, it’s my fault,” Jess replied. “I’m trying to get it switched back on. I’m on hold.”

Lauren paused with the door open in her hand. “What do you mean it’s your fault?”

“I think I forgot to pay the bill. It’s no big deal.”

“You’re kidding me, right? They don’t just shut the power off after one missed payment. What have you been doing with the money we’ve been giving you for utilities?”

Jess shrugged and walked to the sofa, phone to her ear.

“Un-fucking-believable. Alright Jess, let me know if I can help,” she said running out the door. If Nick and I hadn’t had such a good weekend, that would’ve seriously screwed up my morning.
