Sweet Revenge

XXI

Kyla's POV

"Good night sir" I said before closing the door behind me. The conversation we had was...nice I must say. I really appreciated the fact that he apologized for his rude ways even though it surprised me a lot. I would never expected Nicolai Morello to apologize to me, let alone know what an apology was.

I walked all the way from his office to my room with a smile on my face. Maybe from now on, we can have a normal, civilized boss and employee relationship without arguing all the time.

When I arrived at my door I opened it and once inside I walked towards the bed, I sat down and placed the gun Mr Morello just gave me, on my lap admiring its details.
It really is a beautiful gun but the thing I like the most is definitely the rose on the side.

I don't know where he got it, but it was definitely money well spent.

After a few minutes of admiring it a yawn left my mouth making me realize it was time to go to bed so I got up and placed the gun in a chair in front of the bed where I also put my suit.
Then I went to the bathroom, rinsed my face with hot water and brushed my teeth.

Once finished I put on my pajama, if you can consider it as such since it consists of underwear and a bra.

"I need to go shopping. ASAP."
I said staring at myself up and down in the mirror. I would have gone to the mall tomorrow anyway, since it's Sunday and it's still my day off.

Yawning again I got out of the bathroom and slipped into the soft, cold sheets of the bed that would be warming up shortly.
Then I had an internal debate on whether to keep the lights on or off but I decided to turn them off.

I closed my eyes hoping that sleep would take me as soon as possible but obviously it didn't happened.

I kept tossing and turning around for about twenty minutes with no progress, so I decided to use the extreme remedies which is ... counting sheep.

But even this method didn't work and at this point I didn't know what to do so, I just stared at the ceiling for a good fifteen minutes.
When I had had enough I forced myself to close my eyes and sit still hoping that my brain believed that I was really asleep.

I don't know if that makes sense but I'm desperate at this point.

I then started counting the beats of my heart and I must say it was working until someone appeared in front of me.
That someone was blurry at first, I couldn't quite understand who they were until slowly their face became clearer and finally I could recognize them and....

I Immediately got up and placed in a sitting position, eyes wide open and my calm beat of before was accelerated.
The person who appeared to me was...Mr Morello.

Why would Mr Morello's face appear to me when I'm trying to fall asleep?
It's probably because he was the last person I saw... it's definitely because of that.

I shook my head hoping to remove his image from my head and laid down again, I put a hand on my chest feeling the beat of my heart slowing down until it returned to its normal pace and fortunately this time sleep arrived more easily.

*******************************************

I woke up to the singing of birds chirping outside the window, the warmth of the sun rays kissing my face gently and....

Bullshit.

The next morning I was awakened by the traumatizing sound of my alarm.
I was all sweaty, and I had a really bad back pain, most likely due to the position I slept in all night.

In fact, I woke up with my head upside down sticking out of the mattress, legs and arms still open to form a kind of star and my back twisted in opposition to the legs.

That wasn't the worst sleep of my life but we were there.
Taking into account the fact that the night before it took me a damn long time to fall asleep I was now tired as shit.

Groaning loudly I got into a sitting position, I stayed like that for about five minutes debating whether to go back to sleep or get dressed and go out.

I was already awake so I might as well get up at this point.

I took a look at the alarm on the nightstand and saw it was 7:40 am.
I decided to go out by 8:30, so I headed to the bathroom and took a relaxing shower trying not to get my hair wet.
I scrubbed my body with a white musk and rose scented scrub then got out of the shower, dried myself and went back to my room.

As an outfit I wore a pair of black low rise tight jeans that accentuated my thick thighs, a gray sleeveless short top with four buttons at the front of which I left two open.
As shoes my trusty white Nike and as jewelry I put some rings, my earrings and a necklace with a sunflower as a pendant.

That necklace was given to me by my mama when I was still little and it's really very important to me, so I never wore it to the military camp because I was afraid it would break or I could lose it during training but now that I no longer have that risk I will try to wear it more often.

I put my hair in a messy bun with some strands falling on my face.
I went back to the bathroom again where I put on the lip balm Mr Morello gave me to soften my lips and decided not to wear makeup but I still put a delicate cream on my face so as to brighten up the brown color of my skin a little and not seem cadaveric.

At 8:35, I was done doing everything, I grabbed my phone, and left my room heading for the stairs.
Once at the entrance I noticed that there was no one around the house except for the maids which was a really weird thing.

Shrugging I went out of the front door to the gate where there were two guards.

I passed them and started to look around, noticing that almost no one was passing by this street maybe because it was still early.

Anyway I started to walk, head down on my phone looking on google maps for a bus stop since I did not know the area.
The nearest stop fortunately was a few miles and I did not mind walking for a while.
Once I got there I saw the bus already at the stop that was about to close the doors so I started running and I arrived just in time before it was too late.

I paid for the ticket and looked for a place to sit, fortunately I found one free and sat on the side of the window; I leaned my head against it and closed my eyes just for five minutes....

When I heard someone shaking me slightly I jumped up and started looking around frantically until my eyes rested on the old man next to me.

"Dear we've arrived at destination. I thought you wanted to know."
The old gentleman told me with a smile, his voice was a little hoarse but soft at the same time.
"Thank you"
I said smiling back.

Then I got up, thanked the gentleman again and headed out of the bus.
Once I was alone at the bus stop, I took the phone out of my pocket and looked for the nearest mall in the area where they also did piercings and tattoos.

Once I found it I started walking until I got there; I went inside the mall and, although it wasn't very big, there were still two floors that could be reached by escalators and it was quite crowded.

I was going to do the tattoos first, then the piercings and if I still had time I would buy something for me as well.
So I went directly to the tattoo artist's studio ready to do something that would somehow make me a new person.
