Daddy ➮ Simon Minter | Book 1 ✓

Jessica's POV

We quickly get dressed before Simon unlocks his office door, so no one asks why it was locked in the first place. I quickly sort my hair out, so people don't ask what I've been up to. We then make our way out as it's late; 5PM to be exact. 

"Do you want a lift home, again?" He asks as we walk down the now quiet, eerie corridor towards the schools main entrance. I shrug, "I don't mind." I say as I look up at him. "I'll take that as a yes then." He chuckles. "Take it how you want, Minter." I chuckle.

He grabs my hand - intertwining our fingers together - as we walk out the school building. I don't ask; I don't question it. I just allow him to hold my hand, which I don't mind. 

We walk to his car, hand in hand, which is nice as no one is around either. He unlocks his car and let's go of my hand, allowing me to climb inside. I climb in and quickly buckle myself in. Not long after, he climbs in and buckles himself in, before putting on his glasses. "Cute." I smile as I look at him, lovingly. "Yes, you are." He smiles down at me, making me giggle. He then starts the car, and we begin our journey to my house.

As we're driving, he places his hand on my thigh, making me smile. I place my hand over his. "This is nice." I mumble as I look at him. "What is, dear?" He asks, not taking his eyes of the road. "This. Us." I say as I study his side profile. His defined jaw, which he clenches when he's either concentrating or annoyed. The side eye he gives you, if you're being annoying. His hairstyle; not too long, but not too short; it's perfect; it suits him. "Indeed, it is perfect." He says, snapping me out of my little trance. "Shame we can't do this everyday..." I sigh. "Well we can." He says, giving me a quick glance. "Just not in front of people." He adds on. I sigh, "That's what I want though." "Same here, baby girl." He says as he squeezes my thigh slightly, making me smile. "Soon, we can though." He says as he stops the car, indicating that we're now at mine.

I unbuckle my seat belt and climb out. I look at my drive way to see my mum, Faye, still isn't home. I sigh as I see Simon climbing out of his car as well. "Again, you don't have to walk me to my door." I chuckle as we walk towards my front door. "I know. But, I want to." He says with a smile.

We get to my door, which I quickly unlock. I turn around and immediately wrap my arms around Simon's neck. He wraps his arms around my waist. "See you tomorrow, Simon." I smile up at him. "See you tomorrow, princess." He mumbles before connecting our lips together. I smile into the kiss. "I love you." He whispers into my ear, making me both smile and blush at the same time. "I love you to." I smile up at him. He quickly plants a kiss on my forehead, "Sleep well, baby girl." He says as he begins walking back to his car. "You to." I say, loud enough for him to hear.

He turns back and smiles at me before climbing into his car. I watch as he drives off, into the distance. I sigh as I walk inside; going straight up to my room, where I throw my bag onto the floor somewhere before flopping onto my bed.
