Daddy ➮ Simon Minter | Book 1 ✓

2

The pair - Simon and Jessica - plan their workout routine instead of just going straight into it, like the others. 

Simon every now and then finds himself staring at Jessica. Not in a horrible way, but more like a loving way. To him, she's amazing. She's the top student in his class who always does as she's told. She never gets in trouble and she always helps tidy up once the lesson is done. She even makes sure everyone is okay, including him. Altogether, she's a lovely person.

"So then I was thinking we could-" Jessica begins before cutting herself off. "Sir, are you okay?" She asks as she waves her hand in front of his face, snapping him out of his thoughts. "Hm?" Simon hums. "Are you okay sir?" She asks again, as if she wasn't clear enough the first time. "Yeah, why?" He asks like nothing happened. "You were staring at me. It was kinda creepy." Jessica says. "Oh, sorry." Simon apologies. "It's fine, sir." She smiles. "Anyway, as I was saying..." Jessica begins again. "I was thinking, we can then do some-" She cuts herself off again. "Sir!" She yells, making him jump. "What?" He asks, oblivious to what he's doing. "Stop staring, it's creepy." She says sternly, as if it's a threat. "Sorry. Truly, I am." He says, avoiding eye contact. "You sure you're okay, sir?" She asks with slight concern in her voice. "Yes, I am fine Jess." He says, reassuringly. "Alright." She nods. 

Just as she was about to begin again, for the third time, the bell rings indicating that it's the end of first lesson. "Off you go then guys, except you Jessica and Layla." Simon says to the girls as they rush off. Layla makes her way over to Jessica and Simon. 

"Why was you two late then?" He asks them. "Layla wouldn't hurry up." Jessica explains. "Next time, you'll be in detention." Simon says bluntly to the girls. "Sorry sir." They apologies. "Right, Layla you may leave. Jessica stay for one more minute." Simon says. Layla nods before rushing off. 

"Jessica, I need you to come to my office after school please, for a quick meeting." Simon explains as they stand up. "May I ask what the meeting is about?" Jessica asks. "No." Simon says. "Okay..." She mumbles. "Now, go." Simon says, pointing to the door. Jessica nods before rushing out to the changing rooms.
