Sky noticed it.

At first, it didn’t register as anything wrong. But then she realized something was off.

Charlie wasn’t there.

Sky paused with her locker half open, fingers still wrapped around the strap of her bag. She glanced left. Then right. Her pulse did a strange little hiccup, like it had tripped over something invisible.

He was not at his usual spot leaning against a wall. He was standing at the end of the hall. He was not looking at her like he usually did.

Sky looked at him. Great. What now? Did he finally decide to stop babysitting?

Sky stared at him for another second, annoyance already bubbling up.

Great. What now? she thought. Did he finally decide to stop babysitting? Or is this some new tactic where he pretends not to exist so I panic and do something stupid?

Her grip tightened on her backpack strap.

She almost went over to him. She could already hear the comment forming in her head. Something sharp and smug.

Lose me, Charlie? Or did you finally realize stalking is a b

  • Babysitting the Mafia Princess   27. Who Are You?

    Sky was having so much fun. One second, she was breathless with adrenaline, vest warm against her ribs, hair slipping loose because the stupid tie had been pulling all night. Next, she was getting grabbed by some brute who sprayed way too much cologne on himself.“Hey,” a voice said close to her ear. Calm. Official. “You’re out. You slipped back there. Come with me.”Sky straightened immediately.“What?” she said, already pulling her arm back. “No, I didn’t.”The grip tightened.She turned and saw the vest first. Black shirt. Lanyard. Whistle. The kind of uniform your brain filed under harmless before it bothered asking questions.“I slipped,” she said sharply. “That’s not a tag.”“You’re out,” he repeated, steering her away from the ramp. “We’ll get you reset.”“I don’t need to be reset,” Sky snapped, digging her heels in. “Let go.”His fingers slid higher on her arm. That was when her instincts finally screamed.She twisted hard, yanking free just enough for the hair tie to tear loo

  • Babysitting the Mafia Princess   26. Where is She?

    Charlie did not hesitate.He changed direction instantly, abandoning the game. The part of him that had been laughing five minutes ago shut down without ceremony.This was not a game anymore. He had slipped. He should’ve never let her out of his sight. What the hell was he thinking?“Caleb,” he said into the chaos, his voice carrying in a way it had not before. It cut through the music, through the laughter. “Where did you last see her?”Caleb skidded into view from behind a barricade, vest blinking red, grin gone like it had never existed. “Uh…upper level? I think? She said something about flank routes and then a kid yelled her name like it was a threat.”Charlie was already moving. He took the ramp two steps at a time, ignoring the red lights flaring across his vest when someone tagged him from below. The buzzer chimed, bright and useless.The game had rules.He did not.The upper level was worse than he expected. Fog hung thick and heavy, swallowing shapes after a few feet. Neon li

  • Babysitting the Mafia Princess   25. Real Fun

    Charlie had agreed to this for exactly one reason.Sky.The place looked like a fire hazard wrapped in neon and bad decisions. Lights strobed across the walls in aggressive blues and purples. Fog hugged the floor like it was waiting for instructions. The noise level suggested at least three future headaches and one possible lawsuit.He took it in with a measured scan. Entrances. Exits. Elevated platforms. Blind corners.No actual threats.Sky stepped inside and immediately lit up like she had just walked into a second home. Her grin was sharp. Alive. Familiar in a way that tightened something uncomfortable in his chest.And now, she was on his opposite team, trying to hunt him.Cute.He moved without thinking, instincts slipping into place like muscle memory. He tracked movement. Anticipated angles. Let the chaos wash past him while he stayed centered.Then a shot hit his vest.Red lights flared across his chest.Charlie stopped and slowly turned.Sky stood behind cover, grinning like

  • Babysitting the Mafia Princess   24. Laser Tag

    The laser tag place looked like a rave had crashed into a warehouse and never emotionally recovered.Sky stepped inside and immediately felt at home.Neon lights pulsed along the walls in aggressive shades of blue and purple. Fog drifted low across the floor like it had unfinished business. Somewhere nearby, a group of ten-year-olds screamed with the kind of unfiltered joy adults only experienced during tax refunds or arson documentaries.Sky grinned.“This is perfect,” she said.Caleb stood beside her, staring around with wide-eyed awe and a little bit of fear. “Right? I told you it was cool.”“You undersold it,” she replied. “This place feels illegal.”“That’s good?” Caleb asked enthusiastically.“It’s ideal.” Sky smirked.They approached the counter where a bored teenager with a headset chewed gum like it had personally wronged him.

  • Babysitting the Mafia Princess   23. First Date

    After class, Sky snapped her notebook shut and stood. She didn’t bother looking at Charlie or waiting for him.By the next morning, she’d decided the whole thing was stupid. Charlie asking Maria. Her dad issuing social orders like he ran a military academy. Her own weird mood about it. All stupid.So when she reached her locker the next day and found Caleb already there, leaning a little too casually against the metal, she was ready for a distraction.“Hey,” he said, smiling. He had that earnest, slightly nervous look he always wore around her, like he wasn’t sure if she was about to flirt or bite. “I was hoping I’d catch you.”Sky raised an eyebrow. “You stalking me now? Careful. That’s Charlie’s job.”Caleb laughed, rubbing the back of his neck. “Right. Yeah. No, uh…” He cleared his throat. “So. I was thinking…since Fall Formal’s coming up and all…”She braced. Here it comes.“…maybe we should hang out before that?” he finished quickly. “Like, not a dance thing. Just…fun.”Sky tilte
