The CEO’s Perfect Mistake

Megan's POV

The moment I wake up, I can feel the heaviness of my eyes, and I am having back pain, and I realize I don't have enough sleep because of one person named Ashton, and this is the first time that I feel this way, and I hate to admit that I am so affected by his kiss. I never thought that what they have said in the movies and even in books that your first kiss will keep you awake at night was right. Now that it is happening to me, I realize that my first kiss was fantastic, and I can even feel butterflies in my stomach as I remember our kiss. And even now that I am standing inside my room looking at my face in the mirror, I can still feel Ashton's soft lips on my mouth, and I hate that I am going crazy because of just one kiss. Still, I will never let Ashton Priztgold ruined my senior year because I have already planned everything.

"Are you all right, honey?" My mom asked me while she was looking at my face. My mom is tall and very beautiful, and she is working at the nearest department store as a cashier. And my dad is working in a bank. We are not poor, but we are not rich either, we are just living an average life, and I am content with what we have. But I am dreaming of making our life better that is why I am trying my best to be number one in my class to continue to have a scholarship in college. My sister is also looking at my face, and I can tell that she found something unusual.

"I am okay, mom, and you don't need to worry about me," I said.

"Honey, I think you should reduce the hours of your part-time job because, look at you right now, it seems you don't have enough sleep because the moment you arrive, you will study your lesson and answer your assignments. Megan, please don't overdo it, and give yourself a break sometimes." My mom said, and I can feel the concern in her voice.

"Don't worry, mom, and I can take care of myself. I want to have savings so I will not stop from working." I replied as I put cereal on my bowl and poured the fresh milk, and I can tell my sister Ava has something on her mind, but she doesn't want my mom to know about it, and I ignored her, and I continue eating my food. And after eating breakfast, I got up immediately from my chair and said goodbye to my mom, and walk out from the dining room fast, and I can feel my sister is following behind.

"Speak it up, Ava. What do you want?"I asked her before I open the main door of our house.

"I saw you kissing Ashton last night." She said, and I am shocked that my sister saw me kissing him last night, and I couldn't stop myself from blushing.

"So, what?" I asked, trying to act cool about it, and she giggled.

"You are dating the coolest guy in our school, Megan, and you already kissed him. How was it like?" She asked, and my face softened, and even if we have a four-year gap with our age, I am close with my younger sister.

"It was fantastic, if I am honest. But I want to forget about that sweet kiss even if it feels so wonderful because I am not dating Ashton, and I have to avoid him at any cost because he will never be serious. Haven't you heard the rumors about him? He doesn't like commitment, Ava, and if he is only different, I will date him. Besides, after the episode last night, he will never waste his time with me again." I replied, and my sister's face fell.

"Megan, are you out of your mind? He is the most popular and handsome guy in our school, and you will reject him? I couldn't believe this, and I hope you will not regret your decision, Meg. I am just so excited that you have a boyfriend in your senior year, and hearing you say that you don't want to date him frustrates me." She said and turned the knob and open the door wide, and she turned around quickly and looked at me. I can tell she saw something that made her face blushed, and when I looked over her head, my heart skipped a beat as I saw the most beautiful human being on earth leaning on his pick-up truck, and I can stop myself from watching him.

"OMG! He is here, Megan."

"Well, it seems he is hard-headed and so hard to deal with," I said as I walk ahead of my sister, and I know I have to face him even if my entire body is shaking with excitement. I can't understand why he is even here early morning, and I hate to admit that I am so affected by his beautiful smile that can light up my entire lonely world.

"Good morning, beautiful!" He greeted me with a broad smile on his face, and I hate to admit that even his teeth are so perfect, and I wonder if there is some part of his body that is defective so that I can tell that he is not perfect at all.

"What are you doing here, Ashton?" I asked as I try to hide away my excitement, and I wish he can't hear the pounding of my heart.

"Of course, it is so obvious, Megan. I think your GPA is the highest amongst us, and I couldn't believe you can't analyze why I am here." He said that made me more irritated.

"I am sorry, Ashton, but I am not interested in analyzing the reason why you are here, and we are in a hurry, so please don't ruin my day," I responded, and his face fell.

"Come on, Meg, don't do this to me please, I came here very early so that I can take you to school, and I'm sorry if I didn't tell you in advance." He said, and I feel guilty since he looked so adorable right now, and I couldn't believe he will do something like this, and I hate that I can feel his sincerity.

"Hi, Ashton. I am Megan's sister. Does it mean I can ride in your pick-up too?" My sister said, and my entire face turned so red, and before I can stop her, Ashton is already opening the back door for her, and she quickly climbed inside his car.

"Come on, Meg, you always complain every morning that it is so hard for us to catch the bus, and now that you have a free ride, you will not ride with Ashton's car?" My sister said after she opened the car's window. I gave her you pay for all this look before I turned my gaze to Ashton, who had been holding the car door for me to get inside the passenger's seat beside the driver's seat. I can smell the heavenly scent of Ashton as he settled himself beside me, and I think I can hear my heartbeat as it continues to beat faster.

And when I looked around, I can see my sister is beaming from ear to ear, and I can tell that she is having a good time right now, and I am sure Alice will become so ecstatic about all this. Ashton turned on his car's stereo, and I felt so happy that he is listening to mellow music in the morning because I need it to calm my heart and mind. He drives away from our house, and he kept silent the entire ride while he is singing along with the artist and I can tell Ashton has a beautiful voice, and I felt like my heart is beginning to fall, and I need to focus. After all, I don't have any plan of entering into any relationship as of now because I want to focus on my studies. Because, for me, finishing my college education is very important, and it has been my dream ever since I was a kid. Most of all, I don't want to be brokenhearted at this time because I know Ashton will never get himself involved in a serious relationship.

The moment we arrived on the school grounds, Ashton parked his car, and I can see cheerleaders are waiting for him in the parking lot and they look so surprised when they saw my sister coming out of his car after she said her thanks to Ashton and she bid her goodbye to me.

"Thank you, Ashton," I said since I lost my ability to speak, and I don't know what to say to him because I can feel the nervousness in my frame as I look at the football players on the ground waiting for their hot quarterback to join them.

"You are welcome, Megan, and thank you for riding with me." He replied, and he got out of the pick-up and ran to my side, and he quickly opened the passenger's door for me. I hear the gasp of the cheerleaders as they saw Ashton takes my hand as I climbed out of his car, and he never lets go of my hand, and I can feel my entire face blushed as I can hear his teammates called his name.

"I want to take you to the library first." He said, and he gave me his perfect smile, and I realized his beautiful smile could melt anyone's heart, and I wonder how he knows I always go to the library early morning.

"I am fine, Ashton. You don't need to send me to the library because you will be late for your practice." I declared, and he smiled at me as we continue to walk going to the school library.

"I don't care to be punished by coach. Besides, he knew I am good, so there is nothing to worry about, Meg.." He said, and I can feel my face blushed again as I hear him call me Meg, and it feels so right to be holding hands with Ashton, and I can't stop the smile that formed in my mouth as I consider the possibility of dating the hottest guy on campus.
