The CEO’s Perfect Mistake

Megan\'s POV

It feels so lovely to be with Ashton again. I felt so lucky that he chased me among all the girls in the Academy, even if I was way out of his league. I don\'t belong to his world, yet he wanted me to be there for him. And as he was driving his car, he looked so hot, and it felt so lovely to be with him. I couldn\'t wait to tell Alice about this, and I am sure she will be very excited to know what happened with our adventure today. I couldn\'t believe that he was going to bring me to his grandfather\'s estate. I know his grandpa was the original CEO of their company, and when he retired, he passed it down to Ashton\'s dad, and I know when it will be his time, my boyfriend will become the CEO of their firm.

How I wish I would become a chemical engineer or a chemist someday to be there with him because I want Ashton to be proud of me as his girlfriend. I know it was too early to tell, but I can say deep in my heart Ashton will be the one for me. I couldn\'t imagine myself loving anyone else except him. I know it may sound crazy, but that is what I feel right now. It feels so lovely to feel the stiff muscles of my boyfriend, and I know it was one of the reasons most girls in the academy are dying to be with him. Now that I became his girlfriend, I know, and it is apparent that he is handsome, the best football player, and has intense sex appeal, and is intelligent. But I never expected him to be so caring and sweet, and I couldn\'t deny I am becoming more in love with him.

I know I shouldn\'t be scared of what I am feeling for Ashton because it feels so lovely and beautiful to feel this way, being in love, and now I understood what Alice means when she told me words wouldn\'t be enough to describe the feeling of being in love.

After three hours, we reached our destination, and my eyes widened as we entered the Archway of his grandfather\'s estate. And Ashton was right. I am going to fall in love with his father\'s place. The beautiful trees lined up along the long and wide driveway took my breath away. And from a distance, I can see the magnificent house that resembled a castle because of its enormous size and beauty. My mouth hangs open as I watch the scenery before us, and it feels like I am so far away from home.

"Wow! Your grandfather\'s mansion is beautiful, Ashton!" I exclaimed.

"I told you, right? In this place, I spent most of my childhood, especially during summers and holidays. My father grew up here, and I asked him that I wanted to stay here with grandpa, but my dad insisted I should stay in the city." He said, and I could feel the sadness in his voice.

"My father is the only child, and I wanted to be here so that I could accompany my grandparents, but my father wanted me to grow up in the city." He added.

I couldn\'t stop my heart from racing as we got closer to that beautiful house. I know my brother warned me about Ashton\'s family, but I trusted my boyfriend that I would not be humiliated at this time, and I hope my instinct was telling me right. I don\'t want to feel miserable after I felt so happy being back together with Ashton. And I don\'t want this feeling to end because I know I love having Ashton in my life. And I could tell by the way he looked right now, he is so excited to meet his grandparents, and it only means one thing, they are different from his dad.

"Are you ready to meet my grandparents, Megan?" He asked, and because I felt so nervous, I couldn\'t answer him with words, so I only nodded my head.

Ashton took our bags from the backseat of his car, and then he slung them around his broad shoulders. Then I was surprised when I saw a guitar on his hand with red ribbons tied around its case, and I could tell based on its case it was very expensive, and I couldn\'t stop my heart from racing as he handed me the guitar.

"This is for you, Megan, as a thank you gift for having me back as your boyfriend, and of course, to let you know I am serious, and I am not playing with your heart." He said, and I was speechless, and I felt like I was crying, but I kept my tears at bay because I didn\'t want Ashton to think I was a cry baby.

"Wow, this is too much, Ashton," I said in more than a whisper because I have been dreaming of buying a new guitar, but I know my savings are not enough because I allocated them for my college funds.

"That is not enough, Megan. I wanted to give you more, I want to shower you with everything this world can offer, but I know you. And I am afraid you will walk out from my life the moment I will provide you with material things because you are independent, but I hope you will allow me to give you more gifts from now on because I am now your boyfriend." He said, and I felt my face blushed, and my shock made me speechless, and it took me a long time to accept the guitar.

"Thank you, Ashton, this is the most amazing gift I have ever received from anyone, and your effort made it more meaningful. I know my guitar was old, but I still love that guitar." I said.

"Would it be alright with you if I ask you to give it to me? I mean as your gift for me." He said, and he looked so boyish.

"No, I can\'t; I should give you something beautiful," I responded right away.

"Megan, it would be the most beautiful and incredible gift I ever received if you would give it to me because you know why? I know how much you value that old guitar, you kept it with you for how many years, that is why I am asking you to give me that guitar of yours as a sign you are giving me your heart, and I promise you, Megan, I will take good care of it because I know how much you love that instrument." He said, and my heart melted.

"I already gave you my heart the first time I accepted you as my boyfriend, Ashton, and I never took it with me after we broke up. You have my heart all along, and yes, I will give you that guitar." I responded, and it made him smile like a child, and he looked so adorable right now that I wanted to taste his lips again.

"Do you know how to play the guitar?" I asked him, and he shook his head, and it made me smile.

"And why do you even like my guitar when you don\'t know how to play?" I asked, and he blushed.

"It will remind me of you every time I miss you." He said, and I think my face is now becoming redder, and I felt like I am in seventh heaven.

"It was my brother who loves playing the guitar. Lennon is good with it, but when I saw your guitar in your room, I realized it is about time I should start learning how to play the instrument." He added.

"I know some basic chords, but it wasn\'t my thing, so I don\'t spend so much time with it since I love playing the drums. But please teach me." He declared, and I couldn\'t stop myself from smiling at him.

"I\'d love to," I replied, and he beamed at me.

"Are you sure about that?" He asked, and I nodded my head while I was hugging the guitar, and I can\'t explain the happiness that I feel at the moment. I never expected Ashton to give me such a gift.

"Shall we?" He asked as he offered me his hand, and I took it right away, and I couldn\'t stop my limbs from shaking.

"Don\'t be afraid, Meg. My grandparents are adorable, and you need to relax, okay?" Ashton softly said after he opened the massive wooden door, and I tried my best to calm myself. And I know I should stop thinking I am entering the lion\'s den since my boyfriend felt so excited to introduce me to his grandparents.

My eyes got so big as I looked around inside the house. I have seen how beautiful the home of the Pritzgold is in the city, and right now, as I walk inside his grandparents\' home with Ashton, I can\'t deny that I am still in awe. It is not every day I get the chance to get inside a mansion, and everything that I see is made of expensive materials that I am so afraid if I will break any of the antique collections I can see inside the living room.

"I think they are in the kitchen, but I need to put my things first in my room. Please come with me to my room, Megan." He said, and I hesitated, and before I could answer him, we heard footsteps, and we both turned our heads, and I saw his grandparents walking towards us, and I could tell right away they were Ashton\'s grandpa and grandma. They both still looked so young to me, and the way they smiled at Ashton and me tells me Ashton was right.. I am going to like them.
