The CEO’s Perfect Mistake

Megan's POV

Lauren's friends held me while she attacked me by slapping my face, and she was pulling my hair. But it didn't stop me from kicking Lauren so that she would move away from me. It made her more frantic that she continued yelling at me and calling me names.

"You are a bitch, Megan, and you should stop flirting with Ashton." She hissed, and I know her words pierce my heart, but I tried to let it pass because I knew I was not a slut. I never flirt with Ashton to have his attention, and the moment I heard his voice, my heart leaped from my chest as I realized he came for me, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling when I realized he came with my best friend. And when Ashton took me into his arms, all the physical and emotional pain was gone right away.

Lauren is a good actress, and I know even if they hurt me and my face got swollen because of her slaps, and my head hurts because of the way she pulled my hair. My boyfriend didn't listen to Lauren's lies, and that is the reason why I felt so delighted,

I could tell Ashton was afraid if I would run away from him again, but I made a promise to myself that I would never stay away from Ashton, whatever happened. I got inside my classroom as if nothing had happened to me, and during my last class, I wanted to pull the time to get out of our classroom and be with Ashton because I was so excited to travel with him going to his grandfather's place.

I was surprised when I saw him outside the classroom of my last period of the day, and together we walked to the parking lot. I could have brought my things this morning, yet I want to see my family first before going to his grandpa's estate. I couldn't stop blushing when I remembered my conversation with my parents last night as I prepared my things for our overnight stay.

"Megan, you are an adult already, sweetheart, and I trust you. I know you are both responsible adults, so your father and I will allow you to have a sleepover at the place of Ashton's grandparents." Mom declared while my dad was only standing inside my room, and he didn't say anything.

"Thank you, mom, and dad, don't worry, I know what I am doing, and you are right; we are both adults, and thank you for trusting me," I replied, and I couldn't stop myself from blushing.

"Enjoy your time with Ashton, Megan." My dad said before they said goodnight and got out of our room, and I couldn't stop myself from grinning.

"Are you excited?" Ava asked me, and I nodded my head.

"Yes, but I am a little bit scared since this would be the first time I will be spending the night with Ashton," I replied.

"Just be yourself, Meg, and everything will be alright, and I am so happy and excited for you. Good night, Meg." Ava said, and I lay on my bed after I said good night to my sister, and I fell asleep with a wide grin on my face.

I couldn't stop myself from grinning as Ashton drove away from our house. And now that we are on our way to his grandpa's estate, I couldn't stop feeling so thrilled.

"I am so glad your parents allowed you to spend the night with me at my grandpa's place, Meg." He said after he took my hand.

"They know you are harmless," I replied.

"Aren't you afraid of me?" He asked.

"How can I be afraid of you? Do you know that I want to throw myself at you right now?" I asked, and he laughed. We had an incredible ride, and I could tell I was in high spirits. After all, I am excited to meet his grandparents once again because I miss their hospitality, and I love the way they welcomed me into their home.

We ate dinner together with his grandparents, and when his grandpa asked us to join them in the living room, I brought my guitar with me. When his grandma asked me to play the guitar for her, I asked her what her favorite songs were, and it happens her songs are the favorite of my mom as well. So, I played my guitar, and I sang my heart out, and I could see the happiness on his grandma Sarah's face, and when his grandpa Henry sang, she cried, and I find it so romantic, and how I wish we will grow old together like his grandparents. My heart warms every time I see them looking at his other full of love and affection.

"I think you should leave now, Ashton, so you can enjoy the night, and tonight the lake is beautiful because it is a full moon; the reflection of the moon on the water would be so lovely to look at." His grandfather said, and I am surprised that we will still go to the lake at this hour.

"Thank you, grandpa and grandma," Ashton said, and I understood now why he asked me to leave our things at his car, and he only asked me to bring my guitar with me when we arrived at the parking lot of the house of his grandfather. We said good night and goodbye to them, and his grandfather was right; the gleam of the full moon illuminated the fields; as Ashton drove his car, I couldn't stop myself from admiring the entire place.

"Wow! It looked so beautiful!" I said as we near the treehouse, and I could see the huge moon over the lake, and its light made the water sparkle. And I hold my breath as I drink in the scenery before my eyes, and I am mesmerized by the calmness of the lake, and my heart feels so happy to experience this kind of feeling as I watch the beauty of nature at night.

"Yeah, the night and the lake are so beautiful like you, Megan, that I couldn't stop myself from looking at you." He replied, and I blushed.

Ashton brings all our things. I wanted to help him, but he only asked me to get the guitar. I became amazed when we climbed up the treehouse, and I could see its transformation. It looked like a treehouse outside, but the moment we got inside, my eyes widened when I saw a queen-sized bed with a mattress with white bed covers, and I could see a lot of pillows, and there was also a blanket on top of the mattress.

"Wow! How could this place turn into a hotel room." I asked, and my boyfriend laughed.

"Yeah, I was shocked too. I only asked grandpa to make this place a little comfortable for us, I never expected it would exceed my expectations once again, and he also set up a refrigerator and AC, who could have thought it would look like this inside when you looked outside it still look the same old treehouse, but once you get inside it feels like you were in another place. Only the view of the lake is the remaining evidence that we are still on top of a tree." He said, smiling at me and bringing me closer to the window, and my mouth hung open. 

"Thank you so much, Ashton, for bringing me here and for giving me this chance to look at this beautiful creation before us," I said, and he hugged me from behind while he put his chin on the nook of my shoulder.

"You are welcome, Meg, and it makes me feel so happy that you appreciate this place," Ashton replied, and I leaned my back on his chest while he tightened his arms around my waist.

"I love this place, Ashton, and I can't express how happy I am right now. And this is my favorite place from now on. I want to stay here with you, forever." I said, and he kissed my neck up to my earlobe, and I could feel goosebumps cover my skin while he continued to shower me with butterfly kisses. When he nibbled my earlobe, I could feel the butterflies on my chest, and he spun me around, and Ashton was staring into my eyes with great intensity.

"I love you, Megan Corteza, and I know we are both young, but I can tell the feelings I have for you are real, and I hope you will never walk out from my life ever again," Ashton said, and I smiled as he cupped my face.

"I love you too, Ashton Pritzgold, I promise I will never do that to you, and I hope, whatever happens, you will still choose me, Ashton. I am afraid when the time comes your father will know about us. What if he asks you to stay away from me? Are you going to leave me?" I asked, and he shook his head while he caressed my face with his fingers, and it felt so lovely that I closed my eyes.

"No, it will never happen, Meg, and if ever my father will intervene, please, promise me you will never let me go. Let us be each other strength. I will protect you from anything, Megan. I can't imagine my life without you.." He said, and when I opened my eyes, he was gazing at my slightly opened mouth, and he claimed my eager lips in an instant, and we shared a long passionate kiss, and it feels so wonderful to be in Ashton's arms that I wish this beautiful night will never end.
