Chapter 60 - Spending Time With Ashton

Ashton's POV

"Are you not hungry, Megan? We have been swimming for more than one hour now, and I am sure you are starving too, " I asked my girlfriend as she continued to swim around the lake. And I love watching her, and the amusement and happiness that I have seen on her face made me so happy that I make her feel this way. I know it could never compensate for the pain I have caused her, but at least seeing her this happy warms my heart.

"Yeah, you are right. I am hungry now that you mentioned it, " Megan replied, and she laughed. Megan's laughter made me laugh too, and I hauled my body from the water, and I got the towel from the canoe, and I put it around her shoulders the moment she got up from the water.

"Thank you; I felt so lucky now that I've got the hottest boy in Astikoz City, and at this moment, I realized you are a sweet and romantic type of guy, Ashton. I know I have been crushing you for so long now, even if I thought you were cold-hearted and a snob-rich kid." I declared.

"Wow, I don't know if I should be happy, or be offended with what you have said, Megan, but I like that you are honest with your opinion about me. I know you may think I am that type of guy because you never got to know me. And I know you were so allergic with our kind." He responded.

"Yeah, you were right, and I am sorry, but now that I know you and your siblings, I realized you were the most incredible person I have ever known, and thank you that you give me this chance to know you," I said, and he got closer to me until we were an inch away from each other. I could feel the racing of my heart, and I suddenly felt so hot all over my body, and when I felt his strong hands around my waist, I couldn't stop myself from smiling at him. It feels so lovely to be this close with Ashton.

"I should be the one thanking you, Meg." He said before he leaned down and teased my lips because Ashton only brushed his lips on mine, and the anticipation was killing me, and when my boyfriend claimed my mouth, I let out a soft sigh of relief that he eased the hunger that I felt to have his red lips on me. Ashton smelled so good that I couldn't stop myself from pulling him closer to me, and I felt his hands caressed my back, and it felt so good.

"You are a hell of a kisser, Megan, that it made me want to kiss you more." He said, and I blushed.

"Thank you, and I only have kissing experience with you. Maybe you are a good teacher." I responded, and he chuckled.

"Well, you are a natural, should I say, and I would love to teach you more." He said as he took my hand, and we got inside the canoe and paddled, going back to the other side while my heart was screaming with joy.

We changed our clothes, and we hung our wet clothes on the tree branches. I know I wanted to swim, but I also love watching the lake. Ashton got our food, and it felt so sweet that we were sharing on the same plate, and I was out of words as I tasted the food his grandparents prepared for us. I love everything that we have, which is mostly finger foods. I love the vegetables and fruits and the sandwiches, and I realized I want to spend more time with Ashton. I smiled when after we ate and drank our soda in a can, I felt so full, and I know I was full during lunch, but our swimming made us both hungry.

Ashton got up, and he went to the pick-up, and the moment he returned, I grinned at him when I saw him with the guitar in his hands, and I couldn't stop feeling so excited. It has been a long time that I played since I have been so busy lately.

"Can you teach me now the basics?" He asked.

"You told me you know the basic chords, right?" I asked, and she shook his head.

"Yeah, but I always forgot about them." He answered, and I laughed. I got the guitar, and I started strumming, and I was lost in it, and I played my favorite song while I sang my heart out that when I finished singing, I found him looking at me with different emotions on his face.

"What? Why are you looking at me that way, Ashton?" I asked him, and he smiled.

"I felt so happy, and I had goosebumps in my entire body just listening to your voice, and I realized I was the luckiest person on earth to have you as my girlfriend, Megan. You are not only beautiful and intelligent, but you are so talented. Why don't you sing every time we have a program in our school?" He asked, and his compliments made me blush.

"I am not that confident; Lauren always sings, and she has a nice voice, and I don't think the rest of the rich kids will love to see me on stage; besides, I don't want to be humiliated," I responded, and he cupped my chin.

"You are amazing, Megan, your voice is captivating, and I love to hear you sing. They don't have any idea how talented you are, don't let them ruin your self-confidence." He responded.

"I know, but you can't blame me, Ashton, if I will feel this way. And there is no way I am going to sing in front of everyone in our school." I said.

"Okay, that is your choice, but I am just telling you that you are the best, Meg." He replied, and I smiled at him after I mumbled my thanks to him, and I gave him the guitar, and he looked so cool holding it, and it made him look so perfect in my eyes. I could tell my boyfriend was a fast learner, or he was messing up with me since I have a hunched. He was good with it, and he just wanted me to teach him.

I don't mind teaching him some guitar lessons since it allowed me to get closer to him. 

"I think it is enough lesson for today, and now, that your hair is dry. I think it is time for us to have a nap." Ashton said as he placed the guitar on the picnic blanket and hoisted me up on my feet, and we climbed on the treehouse once again. My boyfriend spreads the mat on the wooden floor, and I can hear the squeaking of the floorboards as he moves around. And he walked to the center of the mat while he motioned me to come to him, and I couldn't stop myself from admiring his beauty as I stride towards him. 

I could see the muscular body of Ashton beneath his white t-shirt, and I couldn't stop myself from staring at him while his intense gaze made me feel so weak. The moment I sat down on the mat, he brought me closer to him, and he kissed me hungrily. I couldn't stop myself from kissing him back with the same manner of urgency until I found myself on his lap, and we were kissing and tasting each other, and I loved the way he caressed me, and we were both breathless when we stopped kissing each other.

"Megan, I couldn't get enough of you, you smell so good that every time you are near me, I just couldn't stop myself from kissing you, and I like the way you responded to my every kiss, and I am dying to do more, but I know we need to be patient." He said, and I smiled at him, and then, together, we lay on the floor cuddling each other, and the fresh air that came from the window made me feel so sleepy, and before I knew it, I drifted to beautiful sleep.

"Meg, it is time for us to go." I heard Ashton's soft voice waking me up from sleep, and I didn't want to wake up yet, but I knew we needed to travel back to Astikoz, and I didn't want Ashton to navigate the road at night. I know he is a good driver, but it is better to be safe always. I looked at the whole place for the last time, and my eyes lingered on the lake before I got inside the car.

"Did you have fun?" Sarah asked me the moment we got back at the main house, and I smiled to see them at the front porch drinking tea, and I could tell they were waiting for us.

"Yes, I enjoyed my stay, and thank you so much. You have a beautiful place." I said.

"You are always welcome here, Megan. I am glad you like it here, my dear, and I hope you will come back together with Ashton next time, and please ask him to visit here once in a while since his grandfather always wants to have him, and of course, I love you both to be here." She whispered in my ear, and I smiled at her.

"Okay, I will, thank you." I uttered, and I said goodbye to her, and then I also bid farewell to Ashton's grandfather, and as Ashton drove away from the beautiful house, I turned my head to look at them while I was waving my hands as their figures were getting smaller.

"Hey, Meg, we are in your driveway." Ashton said, and when I opened my eyes, we were already in front of our house.

"I am sorry, Ashton. I didn't mean to sleep halfway through our entire ride." I said, feeling so guilty.

"Hey, it is okay, and I love watching you sleep, Meg." Ashton said as he sweetly smiled at me.

"Thank you for today, I had fun, and I love your grandparents." I said.

"I love you, too." He responded, and it made me blush. I couldn't believe he would be this open with his feelings for me.

"I love you, Ashton Priztgold." I responded, and he brought me closer to him, and he kissed my forehead.

"Thank you for making me so happy, Megan, and I am sorry, but I want to come with you and say hi to your family.." Ashton said, and he got out of his car, took all my things, and my boyfriend walked me through the door, and I couldn't stop myself from feeling so thrilled that he wanted to meet my family.
