Sweet Revenge

XXIV

The last couple of days have been tiring as shit.

I knew that doing the night shifts would be difficult but I didn't expect it to be this difficult.
Staying up all night has always been something I wasn't good at, in fact I drank like a dozen coffees this week to be alert and not give in to the so inviting need to sleep.

I was so tired to the point that I wouldn't even mind sleeping standing like horses honestly.

Oddly the only pleasant moments of these shifts were when I had to go to Mr Morello's office; I usually stayed there for about two hours helping him with some paperwork and then I would go out where I would actually do my job and where a painfully night waited me accompanied by a cup of coffee every two hours.

I know it's unhealthy and i'm likely addicted to caffeine at this point but fuck it, if it wasn't for it I would have been fired a long time ago.
In addition, I couldn't even talk to Axel or Josh because, contrary to what I thought, we didn't always have the same shifts and their lucky ass this week got assigned to another task that didn't involve staying up all night.

Why can't luck be on my fucking side for once?

Fortunately, despite my complaints, I will soon finish my shift and, since tomorrow is the weekend I'll be able to enjoy a good sleep which I feel I didn't have in a long time.

I was now guarding the back of the house, the sun was slowly raising, starting to dispel the darkness.
The last hours of my shift were the hardest ones but at the same time the most pleasant as I could see the sky changing into beautiful shades and feel the first rays of sun caressing my face; they were the quietest and the most undisturbed hours.

"Hey Kyla, your shift is over. I'll take your place."

Brend said, surprising me a little.
"Okay, thank you"
I said holding my hand to my mouth to cover a yawn.
"Go to sleep before you do it here."
He told me bumping our shoulders slightly smiling at me.
"Yes, yes, I'm going."
I said with a smirk and yawned again.
"Bye"
He said waiving at me
"Bye Brend"

I answered him before walking towards the entrance of the house.
I practically crawled all the way to my room, my eyes were so heavy and I felt so sleepy that sometimes I had to stop on track to avoid taking the wrong way or bumping into something.

Once I made it to my room I got undressed and even though I was tired as shit I went and took a shower.
When I was done, I got in bed wearing just underwear and a bra.
And, as soon as my head made contact with the pillow I was wrapped in a so lovely sleep. 

It was interrupted, however, when I heard someone yell in the loudest and most annoying voice I have ever heard.

It kind of remembered me of Ellen's. And I'm telling you that just the thought of having to listen to that voice of hers again made my head hurt.

Groaning aloud I changed position and turned on my stomach putting the pillow over my head in order to stop that annoying voice that, despite being muffled a bit by the walls I could still hear and made it impossible for me to sleep.

Luckily after a few minutes that someone stopped yelling and I was able to go back to sleep in peace.

Someone's footsteps walking around the room woke me up, I opened one eye to look around me and had time to see a figure in a maid's uniform enter the bathroom.
Yawning, I slowly got up, rubbing my eyes with the back of my hand; I got into a sitting position holding the covers over my chest with the other hand in order to cover myself.
