73. Simp

Damon Valentino

~•~

I was quite worried when Dahlia told me she was back home. From what I knew, her parents didn’t want her to go to school and I didn’t know if they would let her come back or not.

I was done tying all the loose ends at my job and I landed another job at a private university. I’d gotten it a week after applying because luckily for me, they were looking for a new Philosophy lecturer after the last one quit. It was like the offer was dropped in my lap.

My holiday was quite boring because of my strained relationship with Dahlia. I spent every waking moment thinking about the girl. It was now two days to the new year and I was certain I had sorted everything out.

My parents were skeptical about me switching schools and I told them the truth; the woman I loved happened to be my student and I didn’t want us to cross as professor and student again so I had to quit. My brothers applauded me for the bold move while Juan just called me a simp.

I didn’t mind.
