The CEO’s Perfect Mistake

Chapter 73 - Enjoying The Moment

Megan's POV

As we drove to the pizzeria, I couldn't stop myself from feeling so excited and worried about our dinner because we were only eating pizza and fried chicken. I am aware that Ashton's household has chefs, and they have so many kitchen staff who will prepare their every meal. But for me, having dinner with my family outside our house is fun, and I miss going out with my family, and now I understand why our weekend dinner has stopped, and I could tell it started after my mom got sick. I never asked my dad why we don't have dinner outside anymore. I assumed we could no longer afford it.

And when my boyfriend told me he doesn't care where we are going to eat as long as we are together, my worries were gone right away. And I felt so happy that my dad and Dexter were talking with Ashton about his game, and I could tell both of them were proud of my boyfriend, and of course; after seeing his game, I became so proud of Ashton, and I became his number one fan now. And I realized how good Ashton is, and starting today, I will find time to be with my boyfriend, and most of all, I will make sure I watch his every game.

After eating dinner, I excused myself to go to the restroom, and I didn't expect my best friend and sister to follow me.

"You should stop yourself from blushing, Megan, because ever since that you arrived, your face didn't stop from turning red, I know you are so overwhelmed after what happened at the stadium after Ashton's game, but you should control yourself, my dearest sister," Ava said before she gets inside to the stall. At the same time, I was left dumbfounded by her words, and I am just glad Alice was standing beside me; when I looked at the mirror, I realized my sister was right, and I don't know why I am still blushing.

"Are you nervous?" Alice asked, and I looked at her reflection on the mirror, and I smiled at her.

"I don't know how to say this, but I don't know every time I am with Ashton, I can't stop myself from feeling so nervous. And it feels like my heart is always racing, and I don't know how to control myself anymore. We just got back together, and I still feel the same way. My intense feelings for him were too much to handle, and my sister was right. I am blushing." I softly said, and Alice linked her arms with mine.

"That is normal to feel that way, Megan; you are in love with Ashton. And you should be happy about it, and stop worrying about everything, because I know everything will be all right. I can see how much he cares about you, so I think he will never let anything happen to you. And don't let those girls stop you from loving Ashton because I can tell you both belong to each other." My best friend said, and I smiled at her after I mumbled my thanks.

The moment we returned to our table, I could tell that my family was already ready to leave. I caught my dad and Ashton talking, and I don't know what they're talking about, but I can tell it was good because Ashton was smiling. Finally, Oscar and Alice decided to ride with us, and I couldn't be happier. We went to the parking lot, and I said goodbye to my family before my dad drove away from the parking lot.

I admit I felt so excited when Ashton asked me if I could work at Zachary's house, even if I knew they would be having their victory party at his best friend's house. But now that everyone knows we are back together, I am no longer afraid to face them. Because the way Ashton kissed me on the bleachers after his game made me realize he was really into me, all my doubts and apprehensions were gone.

When Alice asked my boyfriend how much we were going to earn, I couldn't believe what Ashton had told her, and there was no way we were going to miss this opportunity, and I couldn't believe my boyfriend wanted to work with us. It may be new to him, but I could tell he was excited about it, and I couldn't wait to be there.

The entire ride going to Zach's house was fun; Oscar and Alice were talking while Ashton was enjoying himself listening to them, while I kept quiet because no matter how I tried to calm myself, I still couldn't stop feeling worried about the reactions of Lauren once she will meet me at the party. I felt Ashton's hand take my palm, and he looked so adorable while he kissed my knuckles, and I found it so sweet and romantic.

I was shocked when I found out we only needed to clean the mess after the party since Ashton told me we didn't need to serve the food, and I wanted to ask him why after we got out of his car, but when I saw Zachary coming to us my doubts were gone right away.

"Thank you guys for coming on terse notice, but Megan, Alice, and Oscar, I want you guys to enjoy the party. You are here to help me out after the party since our staff is going somewhere tonight after they have prepared everything we need. They already asked permission from my parents." Zachary said.

"Zach, I came here to volunteer. You don't need to pay me, and I am willing to help." Oscar said, and I was smiling.

"No, Oscar, everyone who will help me will receive a salary from me, provided you will enjoy the party," Zach said.

"I am ready to party!" Oscar shouted, and we all laughed as we got inside. And the moment we reached the roof deck, I could tell everyone was having fun, and there was unlimited food all around, and I realized Zach's maids were serving food.

Ashton's friends, especially his teammates, met us right away, and they said hi to Ashton and me, and I could tell they were all checking me out.

"Hey, please, you already know, Megan is my girlfriend, so please stop looking at her," Ashton said, and his teammates laughed and shook their heads.

"Bro, if you don't want us to have a glance at Megan, you better not bring her here. You know you have a hot and beautiful girlfriend, so you can't stop the boys from ogling her." One of his teammates said, and I couldn't stop myself from blushing as I felt his arm around my waist.

"You better go back playing billiards or dancing on the dance floor or sing along with the band," Ashton said, and one by one, his teammates walked away from us.

"Wow! I couldn't believe Ashton Pritzgold could be this jealous." I teased him, and he tightened his arm around me.

"Yeah, I am so jealous, Megan. I am sorry, I couldn't control myself. I know it is only natural for them

to look at you because Klint was right; you are beautiful and hot, especially now that you are wearing this dress, and I can't blame

them if they appreciate your beauty. I am sorry if I became a jealous freak, Meg." He softly said, and I looked at him, and I caressed his face.

"I love every moment of it, Ashton. It feels wonderful to hear that coming from your mouth because I only want you. But you must behave yourself and trust them, I can tell your teammates respect you, and they will respect me as well. They are cool, and I don't mind being with them because they are your teammates, and they are part of who you are." I said, and his face lit up.

"Oh, Megan, you don't know how happy you make me feel; thank you for accepting me for who I am. I thought you don't want to associate with them." He responded, and I smiled at him.

"Don't be silly. Your teammates are your friends, and I am your girlfriend. I want to know all of them. I don't need to spend time with you during your practice, but when there is a gathering like this, I understand you have to mingle with them; you can go to them, and I will be with Alice and Oscar." I said.

"Are you sure about that, Megan?" He asked, and I gave him my reassuring smile, and before I knew it, he took me to his teammates, and he introduced me to them. It felt so overwhelming that they accepted me as Ashton's girlfriend, and I could tell they were so happy for Ashton. And after that, we excused ourselves from them, and he brought me to my friends.

Ashton kissed my forehead before he went back to his friends. And I can see Oscar was looking at the neighborhood, and he was gazing at Ashton's magnificent house, and the expensive lighting of their home makes it look more elegant, and their house looked like a castle from a distance.

"And whose house is that?" Oscar asked as he turned his gaze to us; Alice shrugged her shoulders.

"That is the house of Ashton Pritzgold's parents," I answered him.

"No way," Oscar replied.

"Yes, way," I responded, and I couldn't stop myself from feeling worried again when I realized how different our lives were.

"Wow! No wonder almost all the girls in our school chase him because he is not only handsome but his family is loaded. Can you handle him, Megan?" Oscar said.

"I can handle his hotness and his handsomeness, but I don't think if I can handle his parents, Os. I met his grandparents on his paternal side, and they welcomed me warmly, but you know what his father did to make my brother and Isabelle broke up." I said as I sighed again, and my friends both touched my hands over the table.

"Meg, Ashton loves you; enjoy the moment, and worry about that later." He responded.

"Yeah, just cross the bridge when you get there, have fun tonight, and the band is playing our favorite song," Alice said, and I know my friends wanted me to stop worrying, and they were right I should enjoy every moment with Ashton because I love him.
