The CEO’s Perfect Mistake

Ashton's POV

"Are you alright, Meg?" I asked Megan after she released her arms around me, and I looked at her beautiful face.

"Yeah, thanks to your grandfather, I never thought your ex and her minions would attack me again. Even though I was ready for them, I still can't deny Lauren almost made me cry." She said honestly, and I cupped her face with my hands.

"Thank you that you didn't run away from me after your confrontation with Lauren," I said, and she smiled at me.

"Why should I run away from you? I don't want to be miserable again, Ashton. You make me so happy. I can take Lauren's humiliation, but it would be harder on my part to stay away from you." She declared, and her words made me feel so happy.

"Besides, we shared a beautiful kiss out there on the stadium, and I guess it would be enough reason for me to stay," Megan said, and I laughed.

"That was the best kiss for me, Megan, and I never felt this way before," I said as I guided her to the passenger's seat. I helped her settle on her seat, including buckling her seatbelt, and of course, I made sure I gave her a sweet kiss that made her moan before I walked around and got inside to the passenger's seat.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Megan touching her lips while she was smiling, and it was a fantastic sight, and I couldn't stop myself from feeling so excited to be with her family and close friends. I turned on the car stereo, but I kept the volume low because I wanted to speak with her while driving. I took her hand, and I intertwined my fingers with hers.

"Would it be alright for you if we will only be eating pizza and fried chicken, Ashton? And I am sorry if we can't take you to a fancy restaurant." Megan declared, and then she told me the name and address of the pizzeria, and I looked at her sideways.

"Megan, I love pizza and fried chicken; besides, I don't care where we are going to eat as long as I am with you," I said, and her face lit up.

"And we don't need to go to a fancy restaurant," I added, and we fell silent for the rest of our ride, but we both kept glancing and smiling at each other. I parked the car, and we walked holding hands, going inside the pizzeria. And just on time as we arrived, the food her family ordered was being served, and I felt so hungry as I smelled the aroma of the Hawaiian pizza, and as I could see the crispy chicken, I couldn't stop my stomach from grumbling, and I realized I must be famished.

They reserved us two vacant seats, and I pulled the chair next to her mom so she could sit beside her, and I would be sitting next to her sister. 

"Hi, Ashton," Ava said while she was giggling, and I could tell she looked so excited for her sister and me.

"Shall we eat now?" Megan asked, and her father smiled at her.

"Of course, honey." He responded, and I got one slice of pizza and one-piece chicken for my girlfriend.

"Thank you," Megan mumbled, and I got a slice for myself and started eating, and I couldn't stop myself from feeling so happy to be with her parents, and I could say I like the feeling that I have when I am with them. Dexter talked to me like I was his younger brother, and I couldn't see the anger on his face on our first encounter anymore. And I wonder what happened between him and my sister. I could tell Dexter is incredible, and he is sweet with his sisters. Maybe this is one of the reasons my sister couldn't forget him until now.

Mr. Corteza talked with me, and I couldn't stop myself from blushing when he showered me with his compliments. It feels so wonderful to hear those words coming from Megan's father, and I couldn't stop myself from wishing that one day my father would show up at one of my games and watch me play, but I know it will never happen.

I enjoyed my dinner with Megan's family. And we are in the parking lot together with her friends. We already said goodbye to her parents and siblings since they already went ahead of us, and I asked permission from her father secretly if I could bring her to our victory party, and I felt so glad Mr. Corteza said yes.

"Do you want to have a part-time job with me?" I whispered in Megan's ear, and I could see that her face lit up as she looked at me sideways.

"What?" She asked in disbelief, and I stifled a laugh. I know I am not included from Zachary's list since he only needed Megan and Alice as part-timers, but I want to help Megan, and she needs to think we are on this together. And even if Zachary's family has maids around their house, he tried to help me spend more time with Megan. That is why he is willing to spend money so that I can be with my girlfriend, but I will pay him later. And I already told him to keep it a secret from Megan because I know she will be embarrassed or maybe hurt if she finds out we are only doing this so she can attend the party.

I can tell Zach doesn't want me to be missing during the party. And I know all the football players and cheerleaders will be there, and many students will go to his house to celebrate our victory.

"Zach said he needed someone to help him during his party at their mansion, and he asked me if you can come with Alice, and I told him to count me in," I said.

"Tonight?" She asked, and I nodded my head.

"Alice, do you want to earn extra tonight?"Megan asked her best friend.

"Sure, what do we need to do tonight?" She asked back, and Megan filled her in the details. And I could see the excitement on Alice's face, and when I told her she could earn as much as one thousand dollars for five to six hours, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"Wow! I am in." Alice said, and I know money is not an issue. After all, I have enough savings in my bank account because my grandparents from both sides are generous. And since I am the eldest son, they showered me more gifts that I can ask for, and I want to pour my girlfriend with presents as well, but I can't give her too much because I know she will never accept them, so I need to find ways where I can give her more gifts without her knowing.

"Can I come with you, Ashton? Zach doesn't need to pay me, and my services would be free. I am good with cleaning and throwing garbage. I only want to attend the party." Oscar said, and his friends laughed.

"Of course, you can come with us, Oscar, and I am sure you will enjoy the party of Zachary," I replied, and he grinned at me after he muttered his thanks.

"Ashton, if we need to work tonight at Zachary's house, I think it is better if you take me home first because it is your teams' victory party. I am sure your friends and teammates will be there. I wanted to change my outfit because I want to look presentable too, and I want you to be proud of me." Megan declared, and even if I want to see her wearing my jersey, I know she needs to refresh herself. I drove to her house, and Oscar and I waited for them in the car.

My eyes were glued to Megan's face the moment she came out from her house, and she was wearing a sleeveless knee-length dress, and it defined her curves perfectly that I suddenly felt so hot. The dress emphasized her beautiful figure as she swayed her lips, and I realized how much I liked Megan, and when she smiled at me, I could feel the racing of my heart.

When we arrived at Zachary's place, I could tell the party had started since we could hear the laughter and music blasting from the rooftop. And I felt glad he was hosting the party at the roof deck and not at the swimming pool because I don't want Megan to feel uneasy because of what happened at Lauren's place the last time. And this time, I will never allow Lauren or any of her friends to touch my girlfriend because I will be by her side the entire party.

"We are late, and I am sure they already eat their dinner." Megan said as we walked, holding hands going to the main entrance of the house.

"Don't worry, Zachary only needs our help at the end of the party, and he needs us to clean the house and throw all the trash after the fun." I replied.

"He would be paying us more than enough, and I think we should serve the food and drinks as well." Megan responded, and I shook my head.

"He hired staff who served the food, and he only wanted us to enjoy the party as well, as his guests; and we will do the cleaning later," I replied, and I could tell Megan has some doubts, but when she saw Zachary coming into us, she was smiling from ear to ear, and my best friend welcomed us warmly, and he brought us to the rooftop, and I can tell everyone is having fun, and then, the girls stopped talking with each other when they see us approaching, and I tightened my grip on Megan's hand to remind my girlfriend there is nothing to be afraid because I am just beside her

I don't want this night to end since I want to spend more time with Megan. And I hope she will enjoy tonight, and I wish Lauren and her friends will finally give us peace after my grandfather taught them some lessons. And I hope they will finally accept that I only love Megan Corteza, and even if, for them, she is the simplest girl in our school.. Still, Megan is the most beautiful among all the girls I know, and she is very talented, and I am so proud she is my girlfriend.
