Bodyguarding Takabana (1) First Day

The morning greeted me with an unwelcome brightness, streaming through the cracks in my blinds, slicing right into my sleep. I groaned, the realization hitting me that today was the day I'd become a glorified babysitter. Takabana Maya's bodyguard. Wonderful. Just what I needed in my life—more responsibility, more complications. I could already feel a headache forming. I cursed under my breath, kicking the blankets off and sitting up, rubbing my eyes.

"Great," I muttered to myself, "just what I signed up for. Babysitting a spoiled corporate princess."
