The CEO’s Perfect Mistake

Chapter 150 - Another Chance

Ashton's POV

We were sitting on the grass looking at the beautiful lake below, Megan was silent, and I could see the peacefulness on her face, and I could see that she was trying her best to conceal her smile, and I realized my words made her so happy.

I scooted closer behind her, and I felt glad she didn't stay away from me, but instead, Megan leaned her

back on my stiff muscles and her sweet vanilla scent made me kiss her on the neck, and she slightly moved her head to the side so I could have full access to her smooth neck.

"Meg," I whisper in her ear, and I grin when I see the goosebumps all over her skin.

"Yes?" She asked.

"Can I have your answer, now?" I begged.

"You already have my answer, Ashton." She replied, and I could feel my heart skip a beat as I thought the overwhelming happiness in my heart.

"I want to hear it from your mouth, Meg; please tell me that you will accept me again. Please, Meg?" I pleaded, and she raised her head as she darted a glance on my face.

"I can't fight it anymore, Ashton. Even if my mind is telling me never to accept you again, but I couldn't stop my heart from feeling this way towards you. And yes, I want to be your girlfriend one more, and I hope you will never hurt me again." She said, and I buried my face on the nook of her shoulder as I let my tears of happiness fall and wet her smooth skin.

"Oh, Megan, thank you so much for making me so happy. I am madly in love with you, and I want you to know I never love anyone except you, and I don't think I am capable of loving someone else, "I said, and I felt her dry my tears.

"Me, too, Ashton. But I want to keep our relationship between us, and I don't want anyone to know about us yet." Megan said, and my face fell since I wanted the entire world to know that I felt so happy to have her back in my life. I would do everything I could to make her happy and make up the lost times and moments I could have had with her if my arrogant father didn't intervene with our relationship.

"Why, Meg?" I asked in more than a whisper.

"I hope you will understand my condition, Ashton; I don't want to be laughed at again by your circle of friends; I know I was the talk of our batch when you decided to break up with me without my knowledge," Megan replied, and I could feel the pain through her voice. I could see her whole face since she pulled up her hair into a ponytail.

"It wasn't easy for me, Ashton; the day I came into your house, and you drove me away was the worst day of my life." Megan declared.

"I was excited to tell you about my pregnancy, and seeing you with Lauren that day broke my heart, and you didn't only shatter my heart, you made me lose my hope, and even if I felt the entire world fell on my shoulders, I need to be strong for my baby." She added.

"I didn't know how I would survive knowing there was no one I could turn to since my parents got so disappointed about me, especially my father. And when my dad informed my entire family and me, he would get rid of my baby, and since that time I didn't know I had a twin, I didn't want to be irresponsible of my action, and I love my babies so much that I am willing to do everything for them." She continued.

"And when I lost Abigail, I hated you more, and I blame myself that she had a weak heart because every time I am alone, I will cry and call out your name, and even if you hurt me so much, I am still longing to see you and to be with you," Megan said.

"I am sorry, Meg," I said in a growl since I felt so remorseful, and if I could only bring back time, I would do it in a heart beat because I should have been there for her.

"Your sorry will never be enough to mend my broken heart, Ashton, but I know you can heal me along the way, and I want to give you a chance to redeem yourself," Megan responded.

"I know, Meg. No words can take away all the pain and sufferings you had gone through because of me. I was a jerk, Meg, and I am sure I will forever have this guilt in my heart," I said, and she laughed in between her soft sobs.

"Yeah, you are a hot jerk." She said, and I felt glad she was smiling now.

"I am willing to take whatever condition you will set with our relationship, Meg, as long as you are my girlfriend now," I said.

"Of course, you have to, and if you don't like it, you can't do anything about it, and we need to break up if you will tell anyone. Even Alice and Zachary should not know about us being back together." She declared, and I raised my eyebrow.

"I don't want to break their hearts the moment you will hurt me again, our friends care about me so much, and I don't want them to hate you even more if you decide to forget me again." She said, and she looked so adorable when she unintentionally bit her lower lip, and I ended taking her lips and kissing her tenderly.

"It will never happen again, Megan. I swear to you." I said.

"I hope so, Ashton, and all I ask from you is to spend most of your free time with our son; I don't want him to grow without knowing who his real father is; my son has all the right to know all about you." She replied.

"Thank you, Megan; I can't express the happiness I felt right now," I said, and we kissed one more time before I helped her to get up; it is nice to stay on the clearing and watch the lake below the entire day, but we need to head back and enjoy the rest of activities on the camp. Now that she is my girlfriend again, I don't want to go back to Majuscule. I want to spend my days here in this camp where I can be alone with Megan, and knowing we kept our relationship secret, for now, add the thrill and the fun.

And as we walked back to the main camp, we were holding hands, and the next thing I knew, I was running and chasing after Megan under the trees and around the bushes, and we ended laughing and hugging each other, feeling like children, and it has been so long that I felt this way.

And having Megan in my arms feels so comforting, and eight years was long enough to wait for this moment, but I could say this is one of the best days in my life. We were both panting because of our little game, and I picked up wildflowers on the ground, and I put them behind her ears, and she looked like a Goddess smiling at me, showing her perfect white teeth.

Then, I pranked my girlfriend that there was a snake, she screamed, and it earned me a hug from her, and she poked my side when she realized I was only joking around.

"You scared me." She said after her fear subsided, but I had already secured her in my arms. I hope the day will never end, and I am so excited to be with Megan.

"We plan to have swimming in the cold spring this afternoon," Megan said, and I smiled at her, and I pretended I didn't know about it since I didn't want Megan to know Alice already told me everything they planned to do while they are in the retreat camp. 

"Oh, that would be nice," I responded, pretending to be surprised with their plan.

"Yup, but I know it would be more fun if you would be there," Megan said.

"Yeah, but it would be more pleasurable if you would allow me to come near you, but since Alice would be there with you, I could tell you will stay away from me as possible," I said, and I tried to sound hurt that I couldn't be close with her.

"Maybe we can find time to be alone, who knows." She said, and I beamed at her.

"That would be lovely and exciting, Meg," I said.

"Yeah, I know." She said, and then she giggled.

By the time I sent her to her cottage, we both looked at each other when we had found Zachary and Alice laughing and sitting close with each other. It seemed something was going on between them, and I widely smiled when I realized it would be so wonderful if both our best friends would end up together like us. 

Alice sat up quickly when she saw us coming, and I could see the blush on her face, and I could tell right away how my best friend lingered his eyes on Alice's face with different light; my buddy got it bad.

Then my girlfriend tried to pull her hand away from me, but I tightened my grip on her hand, and her face turned bright red as we walked towards our friends, and I don't care if Megan won't tell them that we are back together, but I am confident through my actions our best friends will know Megan is now my girlfriend again.
