The CEO’s Perfect Mistake

Chapter 170 - Headache



Megan's POV

I still couldn't believe that Ashton would show up in my office with a bouquet in his hands. All my doubts were gone the moment I saw him. And I couldn't deny watching him with his business suit will always drive me crazy. Ashton looked so hot, and I couldn't believe I introduced him to all my employees, and I could tell they were all shocked. 

I kept my personal life as private as possible, and I could tell I was an excellent boss to my employees. I always talk with them and encourage them to work harder by giving them bonuses and incentives, but I never spoke about my private life. I could tell they are curious about my son, and of course about Gael, since he always visits me in my office any time he can, especially if he is in the city.

They all thought we were an item since during Christmas party Gael would always have time to be with us. It was terrific to have him in our lives, but I know I can never give him my love. I don't feel anything towards him, and this is the first time I presented someone in front of my employees as my boyfriend, and I couldn't believe that out of impulse, I would announce to them that Ashton is the father of my son.

I am not even sure what drove me to tell them the truth, I had been keeping the secret for a long time, and now because I was caught up with my feelings for Ashton, I tell them who he is in my life and as I sat beside him on his car, I am still in a haze.

"Are you alright?" He asked me after he drove away from the parking lot, and I shook my head.

"I don't know, and I am sorry, Ashton, if my employees knew you are Axel's father." I blurted out, and I felt Ashton take my hand, and he kissed my knuckles before he spoke.

"What are you apologizing for; come on, Meg, I wanted the entire world to know I am the father of Axel, and I am your boyfriend, and it was the best thing I have ever heard my whole life, and knowing I am now part of your life again made me feel so happy and complete." He responded, and I could feel my breathing finally return to normal.

"Are you sure about that, Ashton?" I asked since I was not still convinced with his answer.

"Megan, I have never been so sure in my entire life. And why are you so worried about it anyway?" He asked, and I felt so worried to tell him what was playing in my head.

"You are still a celebrity, Ashton, and I am sure you have an image to protect," I said in more than a whisper, and he darted a glance at my face before he focused his attention on the road.

"Megan, what kind of image? The playboy thing? It was all rumors, Meg, and I am a man, and I already told you, I tried dating, but I ended up hurting those girls since every time I asked someone to have a date with me, the girl would automatically assume we were an item." Ashton declared while I felt a pang on my chest.

"It was hard on my part since I couldn't stop thinking about you, and I thought I was being punished by what I have done to you. Why couldn't I forget everything about you, Megan? From your sweet voice, all the kisses we shared, and do you know what drives me insane the most?" He asked, and I shook my head.

"The memories of the night you gave me yourself, Megan, it was the best memory that kept haunting me, and I couldn't stop thinking about the night I took your virginity. It was the most amazing thing. And I love reliving that moment every night even until now, and I realized it was because of how much I become connected to you after that night." Ashton added, and I couldn't stop blushing since I experienced the same thing.

"And I realized I couldn't love someone else but you." He continued, and I could tell my face became redder, and I was smiling the entire ride.

Ashton took me to a restaurant near the lake, and it has a fantastic view, and I couldn't believe he would bring me this far, but I am enjoying every moment I have with him, and I don't think I had any right to complain because I love our date.

"Meg, there is something I wanted to ask you, My sister has been bugging me to meet our son, and I hope you will allow me to bring him to my place one of these days, maybe this coming Friday night?" Ashton asked, and I was shocked since I hadn't thought about it yet. And I felt a little hurt since he didn't invite me, he could have asked me since we are now a couple, and since I felt so hurt, I couldn't stop myself from shaking my head.

"I am sorry, Ashton, but it is still early, and you can bring Isabelle to my place, and I am sure it would be alright with her," I said, and I suddenly felt down, and even if the food we are eating is delicious everything tasted so bland after I realized he doesn't have any plan in taking me

home with him.

"Of course, I am sorry, Meg; I just want Axel to see my place." He said, and I hated myself for being so affected by what he asked me, and I know I could have said yes, but I couldn't stop myself from feeling so hurt.

"Aren't you enjoying the food, Megan?" He asked, and I looked at him, and I tried to give him one of my sweetest smiles, but I know I miserably failed since I am the type of person who is not good at hiding my genuine emotion.

"I love the food Ashton, but I am sorry, I suddenly felt unwell," I said, and I could see the concern on his face.

"Are you okay, Meg?" He asked, and I nodded my head.

"Yeah, blame it on my headache, and I only needed to take some rest, that is all," I said, and he took my hand over the table.

I pretended to be asleep the entire ride back to my office. I wanted to kiss Ashton, but because of my damn pride, I ended up pretending I had a severe headache, and I couldn't believe I would be feeling this way; how could I act like a teenage girl when I am turning twenty-seven soon.

"Meg, we are here in your parking lot." I heard Ashton's sweet voice, and I slowly opened my eyes, and I couldn't stop the butterflies on my stomach when I found him staring at my face; I wanted to have a taste of his perfect lips, but all I could see in his face is his worries.

And I wanted to take the initiative, but I couldn't stop myself from feeling so upset that Ashton didn't even bother to bring me to his place before he asked me to borrow our son. I felt hurt as I remembered his fiancee, and I know Claire has been at his home, and now that I am his girlfriend, I should have seen his place, and I couldn't stop thinking that maybe he is still hiding something from me.

"Are you feeling better?" He asked, and I shook my head. I was shocked when he started the car again, and when I looked at him with confusion, he caressed my face.

"You need to take a rest, Meg, and I don't think you should go back to work." He said, and I started to protest since I had so many things to do at my office. And I couldn't conduct myself to feel fine since I didn't even take medicine.

"I needed to work, Ashton," I said in a soft voice since I didn't want him to think I was only faking about my headache.

"Trust me, Meg, don't worry; after you can have a little rest and take some medicine, you will be fine." He responded.

"Please, Ashton, don't bring me to the ER since I am fine," I said, and he only chuckled, and I closed my eyes as I regretted my action, and when I felt him stop the car, I opened my eyes, and I was so shocked to realize he brings me to his place.

"Welcome home, Meg, I have always wanted to take you here, but I am afraid you will say no." He said, and I almost cried because I felt so guilty, and he got out of the passenger seat, and I was shocked when he carried me after he opened my door, and I continued to pretend I was not feeling okay.

As he settled my frame on top of his bed, I could smell his scent on his bed, and I wanted to sleep here with him forever, and I was so lost in his world that I no longer care if he would know I was feigning my headache. 

I couldn't stop myself from pulling Ashton with me, and when he was lying on top of me, I kissed him hungrily.. It felt so lovely to taste his lips once again, and I heard him chuckle before he took charge of everything; and I giggled when he started undressing me with his sexy muscular hands, and I was smiling as I thought from now on I will love having headaches.
