The CEO’s Perfect Mistake

Chapter 90 - Too Special And Beautiful

Megan's POV

"Wow! You looked so beautiful, my dear, and I know this gown is expensive, and I could tell my one-month salary would never be enough to pay for this gown." My mom said the moment I got downstairs, and I couldn't stop myself from smiling. Ava and Alice helped me with my hair and make-up.

"You looked fantastic, Meg. I am sure your boyfriend will become more in love with you the moment he sees you." My dad declared.

"Yes, Meg, you looked like a celebrity," Dexter added, and I couldn't believe my entire family was complete, and they were all gawking at me.

The peach strapless sweetheart long ball gown made me look like a princess. The moment I put it on, Alice and Ava both gasped, and I thought it didn't look good on me, but I couldn't stop

myself from smiling when I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I know I could never afford the gown that I wear, and I wonder if it was Ashton or Isabelle who paid for my dress.

"Thank you, guys," I said as I could feel my face was blushing. And I laughed when my father fished out his phone, and he took a selfie with me, and then they all came near me, and they kept taking turns taking pictures with me. It was fun, and Dex was right. I felt like a celebrity, even if they were the only ones who asked to have a picture of me, and then I got nervous when I heard the buzzing of our doorbell, and I knew my escort had arrived. My sister ran and opened the main door, and my mouth hung open when Ashton strode inside.

He looked so dashing with his grey Tuxedo, and I realized he had his haircut. Words are not enough to describe how hot he looked. He greeted my parents, and when he turned to look at me, I smiled as I saw the look on his face. I could say he was speechless, but I could see the look of fondness on his face.

"Wow! You looked so beautiful, Meg." He said as he moved closer to me, and I felt my entire body weaken when his intense gaze fixed on my face, and it felt like we were the only ones standing inside our living room. He was staring at my face until he reached my side.

"Thanks, you looked flamboyant as ever, Ashton," I said the moment he stood beside me, and he took my hand right away.

"You better get going now, or you will be late for the party." My mother said, and Ashton nodded.

"Enjoy, guys." My father added, and we said goodbye to them; and I was shocked when they sent us to Ashton's car, and I was shocked to find his newest car. His grandfather's latest birthday gift to him. And I heard my family gasp as they watched Ashton's ride.

"Wow, cool ride!" Ava exclaimed, and I smiled when I looked at her expression; I know my sister is always fascinated with fancy cars, and right now, her eyes got so big as she moved closer to the car and touched it with her hands. I was laughing and shaking my head at the same time.

"Bye, Ava!" I said.

"Bye, sis!" She responded.

"Goodbye, Al, and thank you for coming and for doing my hair and make-up," I said as I turned my head to Alice.

"You are always welcome, Meg. Enjoy your night with your prince charming." She said while she was hugging me.

"Thank you, and I will," I replied, and I said goodbye to Dexter and my parents once again. 

"Megan! You are stunning, I want to kiss you right away, but I hesitated because your entire family was there." Ashton said as he drove his car on the highway, and I laughed.

"Why are you laughing, Meg?" He asked, and I looked at him, and I moved closer to his side.

"Me too; I wanted to devour your lips." I seductively whispered in his ear, and I heard him grunt under his breath, and I couldn't stop myself from laughing. I was stunned when he pulled over the car right away on the side of the road, and my laughter died down when Ashton cupped my face and tilted my head, and he claimed my mouth hungrily. His intoxicating scent made me want to come closer to him, and I like the way he kissed me with passion and love, and I can't help myself from moaning.

"You are killing me, Megan Corteza." He said after the mind-blowing kiss that we shared while he was caressing my face. My knees go weak. And I could feel the butterflies in my stomach as he continued to stare at me intensely.

"I don't want to come home." He said as he looked at the road ahead, and I suddenly felt worried.

"Why? You don't want me to meet your parents?" I asked as I tried to hide my anxiousness because of his sudden demeanor.

"No, I want to be alone with you at the treehouse." He said, and I smiled, and it was my time to touch his face with my fingers.

"That would be lovely, but we have a party to attend to, Ashton," I said as I tried to smile at him. I can't blame him if he will have a second thought of introducing me to his parents.

"Yeah, you are right, Megan. Whatever happened tonight, I hope you are ready. I don't want you to get hurt, Meg, Lauren would be there, and I am sure my dad will find a way to hurt you. I am doing all this so that he will stop urging me to court my ex again. It was a mistake that I courted Lauren because I don't like her romantically, but because of my dad, I did." He said as he released a heavy sigh.

"Don't worry, Ashton, I am ready. It is expected that I will get hurt, but I want you to know I am delighted right now. The idea that you want me to meet your parents was enough for me to know that you care for me." I said, and he stroked my head.

"Of course, that is why I am doing this. I don't want to keep you a secret, Meg, because you are too special and beautiful to be hidden from them, and I want my parents to know how amazing you are." Ashton added, and my heart swells with happiness.

"Thank you, Ashton, for doing this," I replied, and I felt him squeeze my hand.

"For our future, Meg." He said, and I smiled at him. He let go of my hand as he started the car, and I couldn't stop the rapid beating of my heart as we got back on the road.

The moment we drove uphill, the pounding of my heart intensified, and I did everything I could to deal with my nervousness. I want to look calm the moment we arrive at Pritzgold's mansion. Even from a distance, I can see the enormous mansion of the Priztgold, and it seemed so bright, and in one glance, you can tell there was a celebration going on. After we passed through the tall and wide fancy iron gate, I let out a soft sigh. I could see the luxurious car parked on the expansive parking lot allocated for visitors.

"Are you ready to party?" Ashton asked by the time he opened the car door for me, and he put his hands on my waist as he pulled me up, and I felt lightheaded as I looked at him into his mesmerizing eyes. I can feel my legs tremble, but I try to draw strength and courage from my handsome boyfriend, whose proximity gives me butterflies in my stomach.

"Yes, I am," I replied, and he smiled at me.

"Good, " He said, and he took my hand and put it on his muscular arm, and before we could walk to the reception of the party which was held at the Ballroom, I saw Isabelle coming our way with a beautiful smile on her face, and how I wish my brother is here with me right now. She looked so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes away from her.

"Hi, Megan, welcome to our home. I am so happy to see you. The gown looked so good in you. You looked like a princess, Meg." She said, and then she kissed both my cheeks, and I could smell the expensive perfume that wafted in the air.

"Hello, Isabelle; thank you for the dress," I replied.

"You are welcome, Meg; next time, we should go shopping together so I can buy you more dresses." She said, and I heard Ashton chuckle.

"The party is about to begin, I thought you would be late, and I don't want you both to make a scene even before the party started. Our dad doesn't want us to be late, even during our meals. He always wanted us to be time conscious." Isabelle said, and I am just glad we made it before the celebration began. We walked inside the main door, and I felt so delighted when I saw Lennon, Cole, and Zachary waiting for us outside the ballroom.

They all said hi to me, and they all looked at me with admiration in their eyes, and it was Lennon complimented me, and he was with his girlfriend. I saw them together on campus, but we never got the chance to speak with each other. Lennon introduced me to his girlfriend, and Sherry was lovely; and I knew she came from a wealthy family, and it is obvious Ashton's parents accepted her.

And as we stepped inside the ballroom, even if I felt nervous, I still felt strong because I could feel the support of Ashton's siblings, and I walked with my head high, holding hands with my loving and caring boyfriend, feeling optimistic that I will have fun and everything would be fine.
