The CEO’s Perfect Mistake

Chapter 68 - Family’s Moral Support

Megan's POV

"Wow, I can tell you look so ready now, Meg." My sister said the moment I got inside our room, and she was smiling at me.

"Yeah, but I can't stop feeling so nervous, Ava," I replied, and she looked at me for a long while before she spoke again.

"I don't think you should feel afraid or uneasy about tomorrow's game because you will only be there to give your undying support for your boyfriend. And I think that is the sweetest thing you can do to Ashton." My younger sister declared, and I smiled weakly at her, and I wish it would be that easy.

"Besides, mom, Alice, Oscar, and I will be there to give you our full support. Stop feeling anxious about it, you have a handsome boyfriend, and I think you should focus on that part. Besides, there is nothing to worry about, Meg, because you are beautiful." My sister said, and I smiled at her.

"Thank you, Ava," I said softly.

"You are welcome, Meg. We are family, and we should support each other." She responded.

"Are you going to wear his jersey?" She asked, and I shook my head.

"I don't have his jersey since I didn't want Aston to know that I will be watching his game; I want to surprise him," I responded.

"Oh, that is cool, but wearing his jersey would be awesome because, in one glance, the people around you will know you are his girl," Ava said.

"Yeah, it would be cool, but I think I should wear a miniskirt and baby shirt for tomorrow's game, and I will wait until the game ends before I will come near him." I declared.

"I think the end of the game is too long to wait for him to know you are there watching him; why not try shouting his name in the middle of the game when no one is shouting, or go to the sideline during the break of the second half." My sister said, and my eyes widened.

"You know I couldn't do that, Ava. I am a shy type of person; well, I could tell I don't feel shy answering questions every time our teacher will have oral recitation classes, but during social events, I can't." I said.

"Okay, don't do it if you don't feel like doing it. What is important is you will come and watch Ashton's game at our Academy stadium tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon." She said as she reminded me, and I realized the Astikoz Academy stadium is the most beautiful and well maintained all over the city.

"Megan, what do you think you are doing? Stop reading or answering your assignment; you don't need to do that tonight. It would help if you relaxed, I think you should try playing some games on your phone since it is still early, but no lessons for tonight. It would be best if you had a break from time to time." Ava added.

"And you need to have a beauty sleep so that you will look more beautiful and hot for tomorrow." Ava continued as she took the books and notebooks from my hands, and she put them back on my bag, and put my backpack on my cabinet, and I shook my head as I got my pajamas from my closet.

"Megan, two boys, are looking for you downstairs, and I think they are Ashton's brother," My mother said at my door. And she remained standing on my doorstep while my bedroom door was wide open, and before I could move, my sister was already out of the door. And I heard her footsteps as she ran downstairs, and I could tell she was excited to meet Cole. And I couldn't stop myself from laughing when I saw my mom's expression on her face as I walked outside my room, wondering what the boys wanted from me.

"Did I say those boys were waiting for you, right?" My mom asked me, and I nodded my head.

"And why did Ava run off like that?" She asked.

"Well, Ashton's brothers are all good-looking, and I think she is having a crush on the younger sibling of Ashton.

"Oh, I see, that explained her unusual behavior." My mom said as we walked to the stairs.

As expected, my sister was already talking with Ashton's brothers in the living room, and she was sitting beside Cole. And the way she was smiling tells me she is delighted right now that her crush came to our house. Lennon and Cole stood up the moment we walked inside the living room, and I asked them to sit down after introducing my mother to them.

"What brought you here, guys? Is Ashton alright?" I asked, and I hated myself that I couldn't stop myself from feeling worried.

"Our brother is fine, Megan. We came here to give you this." Lennon said as he handed me a paper bag.

"Just in case you will change your mind. Ashton told us that you are back together, and we are so happy that you accepted him to become your boyfriend once again, and I am not sure if you know what is going on with his social media account. But we came here hoping you will watch his game tomorrow at four o'clock in the afternoon at Astikoz Academy stadium wearing his jersey." Lennon said, and I couldn't stop myself from blushing and feeling so happy that they brought me the jersey of Ashton.

"I know you, Meg. You don't watch any football games, but we hope you change your mind and be there tomorrow. Our brother doesn't know about this; we want Ashton to be happy and, of course, to shut up those girls who challenged him. I don't want them to think my brother is a liar." Lennon added.

"Look, I am sorry, guys, but I don't think I can watch his game. I am busy with my part-time job." I replied as I tried my best to hide my amusement.

"It's okay, Megan, keep his jersey. Who knows you will change your mind tomorrow." Lennon responded.

"Okay, but I can't promise if I could come," I said.

"It is okay, Meg, we understand." He replied.

Ava and I send Lennon and Cole to their car, and when we get inside the house, my mother is waiting for us in the living room, and I can tell Ava is in trouble.

"You young lady, I want to have a word with you." My mother said as she motioned my sister to sit on the sofa while standing at the center of the living room while her hands were on her hips.

"What did I do wrong, mom?" She asked while I was standing on the sideline.

"I know having crushes at your age is normal, but I don't want you to have a boyfriend yet. You are still young, Ava." Mom said, and I stifled a laugh when I saw my sister pouted her lips.

"Who says I wanted to have a boyfriend, mom?" She asked our mom, and she looked so cute.

"Me, I can tell it the way you look at Ashton's younger brother. 

"Mom, Cole, and I are just friends, don't give malice to our friendship. Besides, Cole said he will wait for me; maybe when I am 17 or 18, I will be ready to have a boyfriend even if my classmates already have boyfriends." She said, and I couldn't stop myself from laughing that I got to the stairs and went to our room because I didn't want my mom to find me laughing.

"I couldn't believe mom," Ava said the moment she got inside our room.

"Don't get upset, Ava; mom only wants what is best for us; she also told me not to have a boyfriend at your age," I said, and she looked at me and smiled.

"Okay, at least now you have the hottest guy on campus." She replied, and I grinned at my sister. 

The following day I helped mom clean the house and wash the laundry, and I was shocked to find Dexter on Saturday at home.

"Don't you have work today, Dex?" I asked our elder brother, and he looked at me and ruffled my hair.

"I am going to watch the football game together with my entire family, and I don't want you to think I don't give you my moral support, Meg." He said, and I was shocked.

"Yes, Megan, dad and I heard you will be watching a football game for the first time to support your boyfriend and to show everyone you are Ashton's girl, and I don't think we will miss it, so that we will come with you as one family," Dexter said, and I blushed.

"You don't need to do that, Dex," I replied.

"I don't want those girls to humiliate you, Meg. And I want to be there for you to give you my support, and just in case those girls will try to hurt you. I know Ashton will defend you, but having your family to back you up is different." He said, and I smiled at my brother.

Together as one family, we all ride in my father's car, and I couldn't believe my entire family would support my love life, and I felt so blessed to have them in my life. And I could tell my father was so excited to watch Ashton's game. My worries and uncertainties were gone the moment we drove away from our house.

My mom and Ava were holding my hands. I became happier when I saw Alice and Oscar waiting for me at the stadium entrance, and all I could feel was excitement as we walked inside the stadium. And I held my breath as I watched the players on the field waiting for the game start.. And I smiled when I looked at Ashton on the field looking so hot wearing his number 23 jersey.
