The CEO’s Perfect Mistake

Chapter 151 - Perfect View

Megan's POV

"Why didn't you come with us, Alice? I was worried about you," I asked my best friend, and I could tell that she felt guilty because of the blush that I saw on her face.

"Well, we decided to give you some space and privacy." She responded, and I gave her a doubtful look.

"You gave us some privacy, or you wanted privacy for yourselves; you can't deny it to me, Alice; I can see the chemistry between the two of you while hugging each other when we saw that snake.

" I declared, and I could see her face had turned redder.

"It is not like that, Meg," She muttered, and I furrowed my forehead.

"Come on, Al, you can tell me anything; I am your best friend." I said.

"Believe me, Meg, Zachary likes you." She said, and my face fell, and I could tell she likes Ashton's best friend, but she was having doubts about Zach's feelings for her since Zach asked for her help long time ago when Zach wanted to court me, and since she knew that I only liked one man in this universe she told Zachary not to waste his time with me, and during that time Alice still has a boyfriend.

"That was a long time ago, Alice, and a while ago, I witnessed how Zachary looked at you, and you have to believe me, Al, he likes you." I declared, and I could see that her face lights up.

"Are you sure about that? Do you think he will like someone like me? We both know he was the heir of his father's empire; I don't want to have the same fate as you, Meg. He is rich, and I am just a nobody." She declared, and I could feel the uncertainty through her voice, but she couldn't deny the excitement I saw on her face.

"Alice, not all rich are like Ashton's dad." I answered, and she gave me a weak smile.

"I am sure Zach will also fight for you, and even Ashton has seen it too; please, don't be like me, Alice, well, I know you; you will always be transparent with your feelings. Don't make the same mistake as me, and you have to enjoy your life, Al, don't ever think about your past heartaches; give yourself a chance to be happy again." I declared, and this time, she was smiling from ear to ear.

"Wow! It seems things changed, and our situation got reversed; you are now the one who is giving me advice instead of me." She responded, and I laughed.

"But I could see the happiness on your face; what is going on between you two, Meg?" She asked, and this time, I am sure I am the one having a blush on my face.

"Nothing Al, but I am happy since I had a heart-to-heart talk with Ashton, and I learned what happened why he suddenly stopped communicating with me, and I understand him, but I couldn't stop myself from hurting." I declared, and she smiled.

"Are you sure nothing happened? I could see the look on your face, Meg, and I am not blind Megan; I have seen how you clung to Ashton when we saw that gigantic snake. You melted into his strong arms perfectly, and it was undeniable; you looked great together, and I am sure Axel will be happy once you told him about Ashton." She responded, and I smiled as I thought of our son.

"Well, I need to deal with the fact that my life will no longer be free from Ashton since he will take his part as Axel's dad, and I couldn't deny I want him to be there for my son," I replied.

"Yeah, and to be with you, it is about time, Megan. I am happy for you." She state.

"Come on, Alice, he will be there for Axel and not for me." I said, and my best friend laughed as she tossed her hair over her shoulder.

And I couldn't deny I was looking over her shoulder for Ashton since the window of their cottage is open, and I felt so excited to have a glimpse of him even if we had been together a few minutes ago.

"Whatever, Megan, all I can say is I am happy that you looked like a teenage girl right now stealing glances at your crush's house." She said, and my face turned redder, and I realized she could see through me; I tried to pretend I wasn't looking at their cottage, but it didn't escape from her eyes, and I could tell I was that obvious.

I opted to remain silent, and I couldn't stop the smile that appeared on my lips when I saw Ashton over the window. He was looking at me that could melt my entire body, and when he winked at me, I giggled. I could see the expression on my best friend's face as she heard me laugh, and I am sure the look on my face was enough to tell her I was going crazy again over Ashton Pritzgold, even I denied everything.

Alice turned her head, and she quickly returned her gaze at me when she saw Zachary come near to the window, and he stood beside my prince charming. I could feel the butterflies on my stomach as I realized Ashton was still staring at me, and to be honest, I wanted to go over there and ask Zachary to swap places with me to spend more time with Ashton.

And I couldn't stop thinking to be sleeping beside him once again, and that thought made me blush even more as I remembered how his hands caressed my body. I couldn't stop thinking about how he made me so horny a while ago, and I could still feel the tingling sensation I experienced when we were making out in the open place. I could still feel the thrill that ignited my entire body with lust and desire, and the craving to have him again made me shiver.

"Are we going to swim later?" She asked, and I could tell Alice was trying to change the subject, and I felt so excited since I had already invited Ashton to come with us, and I am sure they don't have any activity for today since I asked him to go with us. I miss my son, and I couldn't wait to introduce him to his father, but I want that day to be special for the three of us.

I couldn't stop myself from smiling, but when I remembered Gael, my face fell as I realized how I could tell him about Ashton and me. I felt terrible that I was going to hurt his feelings once I introduced Ashton to his son, and I couldn't deny Gael is one of the reasons why I want our relationship hidden for now, since I know I owe him a lot, and I wonder how I am going to tell him at all.

"Megan, are you with me?" Alice snapped me back to reality, and I tried my best to smile at her.

"Yeah, I think having a swim later would help me relax my muscles, and I know my legs hurt because of the long walk I had. I couldn't believe you would miss the chance to see the beautiful lake." I said.

"Why are you smiling like that?" I asked when I found her grinning from ear to ear.

"Well, Zach asked me to have an early walk tomorrow morning and see the beauty of the lake." She answered, and I smiled at her.

"That is nice, Al, I am so happy for you, and I hope you can be together because I know you both deserve each other," I said with a broad smile on my face.

"Thank you, Megan." She said, and we walked to the kitchen together, and I could tell Ashton and his best friend were still on the window.

"Why don't you invite them to have lunch with us, Al?" I asked, and my best friend's face lit up.

"Are you sure about that?" She asked, and before I could answer her, she ran towards the window.

"Guys, do you want to have lunch with us? We already ordered food." I heard my best friend yell at them, and I could feel the loud beating of my heart as I set the table, and just on time the room service came, and this is what I love this place, it feels like we are staying on a hotel, and not a retreat facility.

I smiled when Ashton ordered my favorite dessert, and our friends were looking at us with quizzical looks on their faces, but I could no longer care about what they thought since it felt so good to have Ashton's hand caressing my palm under the table. I could tell Alice and Zach were also holding hands under the table since I could tell they were also eating with one hand, and I felt so excited for us all, and I was hoping everything would be okay between Ashton and me and for my best friend and his best buddy.

After eating our lunch, we agreed to settle on the balcony of our cottage while we could see the beauty of nature before our eyes. The beautiful garden on our front yard stretches towards their cottage is an excellent view to behold, and the scenery made my tears water since I love nature so much.

My heart swelled with happiness as I watched the beauty around us. The big trees that gave us fresh air made me feel so relaxed, as I listened to the singing of the birds, and I wanted to chase the butterflies and dragonflies flying in the garden. Most of all, the perfect view that I wanted to gaze at forever is the beauty of the man sitting beside me.

Ashton's handsome face, his chiseled chest, and hard rock abs made my mouth water, and I can't deny I love the feeling of having him as my boyfriend again, and I know I wished for more, I could feel the hair on my neck stood, and my entire body was blazing with fire when he leaned down closer to me and whispered sweet nothings on my ear.
