The CEO’s Perfect Mistake

Ashton's POV

I became more drawn to Megan when I realized she cared about me because she never asked me to stay with her all the time, and she even asked me to mingle with my teammates. She's different from all the girls I dated before because they always cling to me wherever I go, and that is one of the reasons I hated dating. They don't give me space, and they always want to be with me, and maybe the feelings that I have for my girlfriend right now is very different from before because it feels like time has been reversed because it was me who always wanted to be near her.

And even if I was talking with my teammates, I couldn't stop myself from looking at her at their table, and I could tell she was having fun. And I am just glad that her friends came with her because she didn't feel alone, but if her friends weren't here, I would never leave Megan because I know the girls will find ways to come to her and talk with her, and I don't know what they are planning to do now that we are out in the open again.

And I was smiling like an idiot when I opened my Instagram account, and I couldn't stop myself from reading Megan's post. I was surprised that she posted something before the game started, and I felt so proud and happy that she had already shown everyone she was my girlfriend. She looked so beautiful in her selfie that I couldn't stop touching her face on my screen.

"Ashton, I know that you are crazy about Megan, but I couldn't believe even she was here. You are still watching her picture." Zach said when he noticed me looking at my phone, and since we are very close to each other, I know there are times he will look at my phone when I am using it, and I turned to him, and I smiled and showed him Megan's post.

"Yeah, I have seen it, and I already like it, and I wanted to comment that Megan looked so hot and beautiful, like the guys commented, but I don't want you to get jealous of me." He said, and I laughed.

"Thank you for saving me tonight; I know I can't bring her here without your help. I will give you the money later." I said, and he shook his head.

"Ashton, this is my party, and I want everyone to enjoy it, including Megan and her friends; and I want to help you; you don't need to pay me." He said as he smiled at me, and then the band had finished another set, and they took a break for a while.

"I know, but I would like you to do something like this again where I can bring Megan with me," I said, and he beamed at me.

"Ashton, I could tell Megan is now ready. All you need to do is ask her to be with you, and I am sure this time she will never hesitate to come with you, and you can always invite her close friends. I know Alice and Oscar love to party. Only your girlfriend is a little shy." He said, and I smiled as I nodded my head.

I noticed Lauren came to the stage near the band, and I know Zach made this party more fun since he hired one of the famous music bands in the country. That is why almost everyone is on their seats listening to their music; the GS Legend is known for its music all over the country. I felt glad no one dared to go near Megan, but I could tell most of the girls were stealing glances at her, and Lauren suddenly gave a piece of paper to the vocalist, and I wondered what she was up to this time, and they talk for a while now until the handsome vocalist looked at the crowd.

"Are you having fun?" The vocalist asked, and the boys and girls shouted yes at the same time. My teammates yelled louder, and I wanted to go back at Megan, but I could tell my girl was having a good time with her friends, and I was also having a wonderful conversation with my friends. And I know Megan loves this band. I saw her waving her hands a while ago together with her friends, and I can't wait to have a dance with her later.

"I have heard that we have here a singer, and she wanted to sing a song for us. May I call on Megan Corteza?" Gael asked, and I knew it, and if I didn't know Megan could sing, I would hate Lauren right now, and when I looked at my girlfriend, I could tell she seemed so surprised why the vocalist called her name.

I can see the sinister look on Lauren's face, and her friends were laughing with her, and some of them are pointing at my girlfriend while they are chanting Megan's name.

"Megan! Megan! Megan!" They all chanted, including the boys.

I couldn't stop myself from walking towards her. After all, I want to ask Megan to stay in her seat if she doesn't want to sing because I will take the stage for her. But my girlfriend stood up and walked to the stage wearing her head high.

"So, you are Megan?" The vocalist asked her when she come up to the stage, and he gave Megan a microphone.

"Yeah, " My girl answered timidly, and I couldn't stop myself from feeling thrilled and anxious, and I could tell Lauren did this to humiliate Megan.

"So, are you a singer, Megan?" Gael asked, and Megan shook her head, and the girls in the crowd said boos to her.

"You are not a singer, but you want to sing for your friends?" He asked.

"Yes, my two close friends, for Oscar and Alice," Megan answered.

"Does she even know how to sing?" Klint asked Zach, and my friend shook his head while I remained silent. In reality, I don't want them to hear Megan sings because I am selfish. I don't like them to fall in love with my girl.

"Okay, do you want us to play with you?" Gael asked her again, and I could see he was staring at my girlfriend more than necessary, and I was starting to feel jealous.

"No, but I want to borrow an acoustic guitar." Megan declared, and the girls laughed.

"What is she thinking?" Someone shouted from

the crowd.

"Wow, you are not a singer, and yet you are asking for an acoustic guitar. I assume you know how to play the guitar." He declared.

"No, I just need it for my prop." She responded, and Gael bandmates laughed, and I couldn't stop myself from laughing as well, and then someone handed her the guitar, and Gael put the microphone on the stand, and he went to the back with his bandmates while Megan put the guitar strap over her head, and then the entire crowd fell silent.

"I also want to dedicate this song "I Am Not Special" to my boyfriend, Ashton; this is for you." She said and looked at me, and then she winked, and the boys got so crazy. And my heart swelled with happiness, and the girls stopped shouting. The moment Megan strummed the guitar, I could tell everyone focused on her, and when she closed her eyes, I knew she was now ready to sing.

I know I'm not special

But you make me one

The way you look at me

It made me believe I am

I realized Megan was singing her composition, and I couldn't stop staring at her, and I could tell this song was really for me. I could see the expression of the band members, and they were looking at Megan with new light. Even my teammates were looking at her without blinking their eyes since they didn't know Megan had the sweetest voice, and I could tell it was a slap on Lauren's face because she didn't know Megan could sing and could play the guitar very well. 

In the second stanza, my girlfriend stared at me, and she was smiling as she looked so sexy while strumming the guitar with confidence, and she owns the stage at this very moment. And as she continued to sing her song, my teammates started taking videos, and I didn't want them to do it. Still, I know Megan should show and share her talent with everyone, and Megan should be recognized not only because she was the brightest student in our class but because she is very talented too. 

When Megan ended her songs, she got a standing ovation from my teammates and other fellow students for her extraordinary performance. I could hear the loud applause they gave her, even the band members were clapping their hands at Megan, and I didn't waste my time after she gave back the guitar. I met her halfway and kissed her in front of all our fellow students, and my teammates roared, and I didn't care anymore. I want them all to know that Megan is only mine.

"Wow! That was incredible, Megan." The vocalist said.

"You are such a humble beauty and a very talented one, and I hope your boyfriend will not get angry with me if I ask for your number because we are interested in hiring you." He said, and the crowd laughed. And I brought her back to her table, and she was still trembling.. I don't know if it was because she performed on the stage, or because of the kiss that we shared, and I wish it were the latter because right now, I am so proud of her, and when I looked around, Lauren and her friends are no longer there, and I am happy that Megan gave them their own dose of medicine.
