The CEO’s Perfect Mistake

Magan's POV

We got out of Aston's room to eat lunch with his grandpa and grandma, and I felt so weak since I could still feel the aftermath of the sweet moments I shared with him. I had a wonderful time kissing and touching Ashton. As we descended the stairs holding hands, I felt so happy because Ashton made me feel special, and I couldn't stop thinking about the guitar he gave me. It was indeed the most beautiful gift I have ever received from anyone. I can feel that my lips swelled because of the sweet kisses that we shared.

The lunch with Ashton's grandparents was incredible that I could tell I had a good time, and the moment he drove me to the lake, I was overwhelmed with too much happiness. I can see the beauty of the whole place, and I love watching the still clear water. I didn't expect we would have a picnic near the lake since I haven't done this for so long, and I think the last time I had a picnic with my family was when I was in grade school. 

"If you want, we can use the picnic blanket, Megan," Ashton said.

"I love that since it would be more romantic," I said, and it was too late for me to take back what I said, but when Ashton beamed at me, I no longer worry about what I said. He is my boyfriend already, so I don't think I need to be ashamed of what I have said. 

"Yeah, it would be more lovely because I love to cuddle you, Megan." He said, and I know my face turned red right away, and I couldn't stop feeling excited. I spread the blanket while we put our food on the table, and when I looked upon the tree, I found a beautiful treehouse, and I wanted to climb right away.

"Wow! A treehouse? Is that yours?" I asked, and Ashton nodded his head.

"Can we climb now?" I excitedly asked, and he beamed at me.

"Of course, and you can change your clothes up there." He declared, and I got my bag, and I walked beside him as we went to the wooden stairs. I can't stop feeling so excited because I always wanted to have a treehouse, but our lot is only enough for our house and garage and a little garden. We don't have enough space where we can plant a tree, unlike Ashton's house in Astikoz hills, where they have enough land where they can grow as many trees as they can.

"Wow, this is cool, and it is really like a house!" I exclaimed, and Ashton laughed at me while he took me into his arms, and he kissed my forehead. 

"I am glad you like it, Meg." He said.

"Are you kidding me? How can I not like this when this cute house is great, and I don't only like it here, I love everything I see in this place." I declared, and he looked at me with great intensity as he held my hands.

"Including me?" He asked without fluttering his eyes.

"Of course, I do," I replied without hesitation, and he gave me his killer smile that made my stomach somersault, and then he cupped my face.

"Megan Corteza, I am falling hard for you, and thank you for taking me back again. I love the way I am with you, and I am willing to do whatever you want me to do for you." He said.

"You already make me so happy, Ashton, and I don't think you still need to do something. I love the way you are." I replied, and I wanted to add I felt so happy that he fell for me. And I couldn't believe that Ashton Priztgold would confess to me that he was falling for me. 

"Thank you, Meg, but I can tell you are still afraid about those girls in school, and if you want to keep our relationship secret in the meantime, it would be okay with me, even if I want everyone to know I am in love with you." He said, and I could feel Ashton's sincerity through his words.

"Are you sure about that?" I asked, and he nodded his head.

"Of course, just for you, I need to protect you, Megan; besides, it would be enough that my siblings will know about us, Zachary, and your close friends Oscar and Alice, and of course your mom and siblings.

Those girls at the Academy are crazy, and I don't understand why they need to hurt you especially, Lauren. I asked her to stay away from you, but I knew I couldn't trust her; because Lauren couldn't accept until now that what we had was over a long time ago. The relationship that we had was never serious." He declared, and I am so happy that Ashton thought about my safety, and he was right. I don't think Lauren will stop bothering me if she knows we are back together.

"That would be awesome, but how can we see each other?" I asked, confused.

"I will find ways, Megan." He replied.

"It would be okay with me, but I hope you will stop flirting with those girls," I said.

"I never flirted with anyone, Megan, except with you." He whispered in my ear.

"And how are you going to stop them from throwing themselves at you?" I asked.

"I will tell them I already have a girlfriend." He replied quickly.

"What if they will ask you who your girlfriend is." I inquired.

"That is the time I will tell them it is you." He said, and I frowned at him.

"I was only kidding. You have to relax, Megan, and leave everything to me." He said, and I smiled as I nodded my head to him.

Ashton took my hand, and he dragged me to the window, and when he opened it, my eyes widened as I looked at the view of the lake before us, it was beautiful, and no words could express the spectacle that I saw right now. And then, I felt him curl his arms around my waist from behind as we watched the lake together, and I leaned my back on his muscular body as I inhaled the fresh air. And we stayed near the window for a long while as we continued to look at the fantastic sight before us. 

"Are you in for a swim?" He asked after minutes of silence.

"Yeah, of course," I replied, and he asked

me to change while he remained at the window watching the peaceful water. I quickly changed my dress into swimming shorts and a white tank top with spaghetti straps. Ashton was already wearing his boardshorts and sleeveless tank top, and I knew he didn't need to change at all.

"Shall we go?" I asked, and he turned around to look at me, and the smile I saw on his face made

I feel ecstatic.

"I thought you would be wearing your swimsuits today." He declared.

"It is not yet time for you to see my entire body, Ashton," I replied, and he chuckled as he moved closer to me.

"I have already seen enough, Megan." He said, and I suddenly felt so hot and shy as I remember I was half-naked in front of him in his room this morning, and I remember how much I enjoyed the moments we had.

"Hey, you don't need to feel shy about it, Megan, as long as you enjoyed what we have done together." He said.

"Of course, I did," I replied, and he captured my lips, and we kissed passionately, and we were both panting after he released my mouth, and then he took my hand, and I climbed down from the treehouse ahead of him.

"Can we swim anywhere?" I asked him.

"Yes, but I want to take you to the other side." He said, and I got excited as we walked to the canoe. And I could tell everything around here was well maintained by his grandfather, and I could tell Ashton and his siblings are very close to their grandparents.

"Do you know how to use a paddle?" He asked.

"I guess," I said, and he laughed.

"Don't worry, I am good with it, we used to have a contest here just me and my siblings and some

of our family friends, don't worry, in the next season we will join, and you will be my partner." My boyfriend declared, and I can tell Ashton is very much excited about it, and of course, I am thrilled because I haven't tried something like that before.

I know I will have so much adventure if I am with Ashton, and I can't wait to spend more time with him, especially in this beautiful place.

Ashton helped me get inside the canoe, and after I settled myself, he got inside as well, and then he started to use his paddle, and I mimicked his actions, and I felt so triumphant when the canoe moved away from the banks, and it glided through the water. I felt so happy to be under the sun since I didn't have time to have outdoor activities lately.

The moment we started swimming, all my worries were gone right away, and all I could think of was the beautiful moment I had with Ashton.. We stayed in the water chasing each other, laughing and kissing every chance we could get, and I could tell this was a perfect day for us, and I was having fun.
