The CEO’s Perfect Mistake

Megan's POV

I feel like I am on cloud nine as I look at Ashton walk away from me to go to the shower room, and it feels like I am only dreaming. I never dreamed of being kissed in front of so many people, but it seemed like I lost my shame when I was in his arms because I felt so happy to feel his lips on mine, even in front of my parents. I don't know if they don't like what they have seen, but it seems like my family is so happy to see Ashton, and they never mind I made out with my boyfriend in front of a large crowd.

I know I was blushing because we kept on kissing until I heard my father clear his throat to make us stop from our hot make-out session, and it was late for us to know that they were already standing near us to congratulate my boyfriend. But when I saw the smiles on my parents' and siblings' faces, I no longer felt worried at all. And I could tell this was one of the most unforgettable days of my life, and I am so excited to write this episode in my journal later tonight. Yes, even if I am busy, I find time to write in my diary, especially my special moments with Ashton.

"Ashton, we want to ask you to join us for dinner." My father asked him, and I couldn't stop myself from grinning, and I could see that my boyfriend's face lit up.

"It would be lovely to join you, sir. Can Megan ride with me?" Ashton asked my father, and he beamed at my boyfriend. And I felt so happy that Ashton asked permission from my dad since I know my dad loves it when he knows my boyfriend is sweet and respectful.

"Of course, son." My father responded, and I couldn't stop myself from feeling so excited, and I could feel the knots on my stomach.

"See you later, Meg; please wait for me in the parking lot." He said before he sprinted away from us.

"Thank you, guys," I said, and my father stroked my hair.

"You are welcome, kiddo. Did you enjoy the game?" My dad asked me.

"Yeah, I enjoy it so much," I said.

"But I think you enjoy your kissing scene with Ashton more than you enjoyed watching the game." My sister said that made me blush.

"Ava!" I heard both my parents say, and they both looked at my sister with hard stares.

"I am sorry." My sister mumbled, and I giggled. Then we all walked to the parking lot, and my parents were holding hands while they were walking while Ava was walking beside Dexter and his arm was in my sisters' shoulders. And I was walking with my friends, and I was in between Alice and Oscar.

"Wow, Meg, it was a hell of a show, I couldn't believe Ashton would kiss you that way, and I could tell he is a good kisser, and I can say it the way your body shivered after he kissed you. How I wish someone would kiss me that way in front of everyone." Oscar said, and I couldn't stop myself from blushing.

"Is it bad?" I asked as I looked at him sideways, and then I glanced at Alice.

"No, it was perfect for me." I can send you the video later." Alice declared.

"No way!" I replied.

"Yes, way," Alice responded, and she giggled, and I am excited to see it; well, kissing Ashton Pritzgold was a dream that came true for me.

"Yeah, it feels like I was watching a movie live," Oscar said, and I put my hands on my face.

"You don't need to feel embarrassed about it, Megan. You looked good together. I can tell everyone is talking about you and Ashton now, and they will stop commenting on Ashton's social media account for sure." Oscar added.

"And why do you feel ashamed about it when it was your boyfriend who ran to the bleachers so he can be with you and kiss you. It was romantic and cute, Megan." Alice seconded.

"I think I am still in seventh heaven right now," I replied, and my friends giggled. Oscar and Alice insisted on riding in my dad's car, and I wonder why they don't want to ride at Ashton's pick-up truck.

"Come on, guys, you need to ride with me in Ashton's car," I said.

"Meg, I want to be with your brother even for a while, and I wish you will give me a chance to be with Dexter," Oscar whispered, and I couldn't stop myself from grinning at him.

"I am sorry, Oscar, my brother's heart already belonged to Isabelle," I said in more than a whisper because I didn't want Dexter to hear us talking about him and the love of his life.

My parents and my friends left ahead of us since Ashton needed to take a shower first. I waited for Ashton near his car in the parking lot. And some girls passed me by, and they smiled and said hi to me, and I greeted them back even if I didn't know them. I was leaning on his car, and I was smiling like an idiot as I waited for him to come, and then my smile faded away when I saw Lauren and her friends coming my way. I brace myself because I know every time I see Lauren, I expect something wrong will happen to me, and they surround me immediately.

"Well! What a bitch you are, Megan, I paid you to work in our mansion, and I gave you a bonus, so I allowed you not to work anymore, but I couldn't believe you would be flirting with Ashton." She said, and the girls nodded in agreement.

"I wasn't flirting with Ashton, and you know that Lauren, besides, I don't need to flirt to get his attention. For how many times I pushed him away, but he came back to me. He ran to me in the bleachers, and he kissed me, and not the other way around. Everyone who was at the stadium knows that." I replied, and I could tell it made her angrier.

"And who do you think you are? You have no right to answer me back unless I told you so." She declared, glaring at me.

"You don't own me, Lauren, and you don't have the right to dictate to me what to do because I am not your slave," I replied, and I tried to lower my voice since I didn't want to make a scene at the school parking lot.

"Megan, you don't belong to Ashton's world, so you better stay away from him now; while it is still early, aren't you ashamed of yourself? You are only wearing a worn-out mini skirt. You were kissing Ashton Pritzgold, for heaven's sake. Come on, Meg, you are only good in class, but you can never be as beautiful and wealthy as I am; Gregory Pritzgold will never accept you because you will only be an embarrassment to their family. You have poor parents, Meg, so you better behave yourself." She said, and I tried to be strong, but her words pierced my heart. 

"Even if my parents are poor, they try their best to raise us well, and even if we are poor, I never begged someone to stay away from her boyfriend because that is the most pathetic thing that can ever happen to a person. At least I never felt hungry for attention because my parents gave me enough love and care. If you are rich, you could have bought the attention and love of Ashton Pritzgold. But I regret to inform you, Lauren, that there are things money can't buy." I said, and her face turned so red with anger, and when she raised her hand to slap me, a strong hand held her wrist, and her face turned so pale.

"Grandpa Henry!" She mumbled, and I realized it was Ashton's grandfather. I couldn't recognize him since his back was on me, and he was wearing a casual outfit.

"I am so disappointed with you, Lauren. Why are you doing this to Ashton's girlfriend? You used to be his best friend, and I believe you are still his friend, am I right?" He asked, and Lauren nodded her head.

"If you care about Ashton as a friend, you should respect his decision, Lauren." Grandpa Henry said, and I can tell Lauren's face softened.

"I don't want anyone to hurt and insult Megan, she is Ashton's girlfriend now, and you should respect my grandson's decision whom he chose. Girls, if you know the word respect, and if you are proud to be called a member of the elite society, I guess you should behave yourself and show respect to anyone, either poor or rich." He added.

"You are privileged enough to be born with a silver spoon in your mouths. Did you ever wonder if you were born poor? Do you like it if you are treated the way you treat Megan? What if one day your parents lost your business and filed bankruptcy, and the bank will take away all your assets, your family will be penniless? Do you think you can handle being poor?" He asked them, and all of them were looking on their feet as he continued to give them lessons to ponder.

"You must go now and leave Megan alone, and Lauren, I hope you will correct your mistakes." He said, and she nodded and asked the girls to follow her.

"Thank you, Mr. Pritzgold," I said the moment he turned around and faced me. He looked so young now, wearing cargo shorts and a simple polo shirt.

"Megan, I told you to call me grandpa." He said, and I smiled at him.

"You are welcome. I am so proud of you, my dear. I know you don't need saving, but I don't like the way Lauren treated you." He said.

"I think I should leave now that your prince charming is here." He added, and when I turned my head, I saw Ashton and Zachary walking towards us, and as they neared us, I couldn't stop myself from running to Ashton.. And I felt so secured and at peace when he took me into his arms.
