“Who were you talking to? And why were you talking about me?" Alessia asks half a second after I put my phone away from my ear.
"It was your dad," I answer, "He asked me to watch you this afternoon. No, he actually asked me not to leave you alone for even a second until he comes back. So now I'm your official babysitter until he gets back from Spain. And believe me, I take my job very seriously."
"You're kidding, right?" she asks with a nervous laugh that I don't answer, I just fold my arms and raise an eyebrow at her. “Why would he tell you to 'take care' of me? I'm not five and you’re not even my friend. Agh! I hate this. Ever since we got here he's been treating me like a little girl. And I have to go to an opening with the twins today, so I guess you’re coming with me?”
