Victoria
I woke up and it was getting dark, I heard Matteo's voice and I immediately sprang into action.
I had overslept. His father would kill me.
I walked into his room to find him crying in his cot. I picked him up and tried to soothe him. His diaper was making him uncomfortable.
I bathed him and put a new one on him and he seemed to calm down a bit.
I rocked him and sang to him for a while till he fell asleep. When I made sure the slumber had him in deep. I laid him down gently and tiptoed to the door.
I needed to retire for the night. The whole mansion was very quiet.
I closed my door securely behind me. It was kind of windy tonight plus this house kind of scares me at night.
I stripped myself and went to have a shower. I stayed there for a while, longer than necessary actually.
It felt good to not have to bother about the water bill.
