Chapter 379: The Morning After… ish
The first thing I registered when I woke up was that it was too damn bright. While I enjoyed a nice day just like any other girl, I didn’t enjoy the sun when it was making me get out of bed. I swear, the ray of light sneaking through the window had some type of vendetta against me, shining in my eyes even as I slept.
Clearly, the house thought that I had enough sleep. Otherwise, the blackout curtains wouldn’t be open, and the fucking ray of sunlight forcing me to open my eyes wouldn’t exist. I would like to point out that it was the house’s fault I was like it.
It seemed like it had been weeks, if not longer, since I had a good night’s sleep. I didn’t know what had gotten into its foundation, but I was going to figure it out and put an end to it. I might have created a sentient house, but I could, surly as hell was hot, create one that didn’t kick me out when it was in a tizzy.
Someone was going to die today. It was a given. The house woke me up, and I chose death.
With a groan, I rolled over and buried my face deeper into the pillow, ignoring the way my hair stuck to my cheek and the soft weight of one of the plush blankets tangled around my ankle. I didn’t do mornings. Not before the world ended, not after it, and definitely not today.
I was the Devil. I should be allowed to sleep until 4 p.m. if I wanted.
"Little Bit’s awake," came Luca’s voice, far too cheerful for my liking. I felt the glimmer of his presence spark across the room like a firefly made of static and arrogance. Usually he was a silent presence, not talking all that much, but something must have happened last night to change that.
I kind of missed the quiet version of him.
"Rise and shine, Angel," Dante drawled from somewhere near the bookshelf.
"I rose," I mumbled into the pillow, my head moving like it was possessed to try and get away from that stubborn ray of sun. I swear it moved with me. "I refuse to shine."
A few chuckles answered me, and I peeked through a crack in my lashes. The room was full, just how I liked it.
