5 Days 'til Graduation...

Jessica's POV

"5 days left!" I cheer with excitement as Simon pushes me down to the room where I do my physio. "Indeed." Simon says. "Can you tell that I'm excited?" I ask as I look up at him: a wide, Cheshire Cat smile on my face. "Definitely." Simon chuckles as he glances down at me. "Good," I nod. "I want everyone to know that I'm excited, and very happy." I smile. "I see." Simon chuckles lightly as we enter the room.

. . .

"Take it easy on me Si. My legs still hurt from yesterday." I say, almost like an order. "Of course I will, Jess." He smiles at me. "You better, mister." I warn him. "Or what?" He asks: a smirk plastered on his face. "I'll... I'll never give you hugs, or kisses again." I say; pausing as I think of what to say. Simon laughs, "well, don't worry my dear," he begins. "I'll go easy on you." He says as he stands right in front of me. I grip onto my crutches tightly, "good." I smile. He kisses my forehead, "now, lets begin." "Lets." I nod.

20 Minutes Later...

"Can we take a break for a second?" I ask as I sit down on a nearby chair. "Legs hurt?" Simon asks as he kneels in front of me. "Just a bit." I nod. "On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad do they hurt?" He asks. "About a 6." I say, honestly. He lets out a long, heavy sigh. "Well in that case," he begins as he stands up. "We'll end it here." He says. "But it's only been 20 minutes, Si." I state. He looks down at me, "I don't wanna strain your legs anymore." He says. I sigh, "okay."

"Are you gonna help me up, or?" I question, raising an eyebrow at him. "Of course, m'lady." He smiles before scooping me up. "I said help me up, not pick me up." I laugh. "Meh. Same thing." He winks at me. I roll my eyes whilst smiling, "whatever, Simon."

Another 20 Minutes Later...

"You can come in, you know." I smile at Simon as I walk inside my house. "I know." He says as he steps inside. "Then why was you hesitant?" I ask as we slowly walk upstairs and into my room. Luckily, I remembered to hide my dress, and shoes.

"I wasn't." Simon says. "You was, Si." I smile at him. "Oh," he hums. "I didn't think I was." He says. "Well you was." I giggle. "Are you nervous around me?" I tease as we walk into my room. "Me, nervous... Pfft. No." Simon says. I laugh, "mm, sure." "What d'you mean, mm sure?" He asks. I laugh as I sit on my bed, "you know exactly what I mean, dear."

Simon sits next to me before pulling me onto his lap. "Do I now?" He whispers into my ear. "Mhm." I hum softly. He kisses my cheek, "is your mum home?" He asks. "More than likely" I say. "Why'd you ask?" I ask. "No reason." He says. "I just prefer it when it's just us 2. You know, when no one else is around." He says. "I see." I say.
