Loud Guests

PoV: ???

*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!*

I clutch the edge of the counter, so much so that my knuckles turn white as the entire inn trembles around me. The noise is deafening, and I can barely keep my composure. I can feel my face burning, my heart pounding in my chest. Why did this have to happen today of all days?

"Ah! Ah! Master!!! Kyaaaaa!!!"

Distinctly feminine cries pierce through the walls, each one more desperate and... and... Oh gods, this is so embarrassing!

This was supposed to be a quiet day! My parents had just left for the market, leaving me in charge. They said it would be an easy day, hardly any guests, just a few regulars who know how to keep to themselves. So why does this have to happen now?!
