Chapter 69 - Watching The Game

Megan's POV

We sat on the center of the side stand, and I was sitting on the second seat from the aisle next to Alice, and Oscar was sitting next to me. I can't explain the emotions that I felt at the moment. Watching the entire crowd felt overwhelming enough. Thousands of spectators cramped together to watch the football game.

I can see many familiar faces, and some take a second look at me, especially the girls when they realize I was wearing Ashton's jersey. I could see some of them looking at me with curiosity, others with jealousy, and then I felt glad that there were also girls who looked at me with admiration on their faces. Still, I am no longer afraid of any of them because I am proud of being the girlfriend of Ashton Pritzgold.

I fished out my phone in my pocket, and for the first time after a long while, I made a selfie. With excitement, I opened my IG account, and I made a post with the caption"Watching My Boyfriend's Football Game ILY#23", and this time I never hesitated to post it before the start of the game.

I smiled as I remembered my mom making my hair. She braided my hair on the sides and let both ends meet at the back of my head with hairpins while she let the rest of my hair cascades on my back. Ava was the one who helped me style Ashton's jersey because it looked so big on me. My sister gathered the excess fabric, and she made a knot on the side to make it look sexier on me, and I paired it with denim shorts and flat sandals. 

It felt so lovely to watch the football game for the first time with my family and friends. I can feel the excitement and the fun, while I can't stop myself from feeling so nervous about Ashton's reaction the moment he found out I was watching his game. Oscar explained to me some of the rules and regulations of the game. And as I watched my boyfriend make a perfect pass, I couldn't stop myself from shouting along with the crowd, and when I turned my head, I could see Alice grinning at me as she screamed his name as well.

I felt so proud when I heard my fellow students cheered for Ashton and his team, and I never realized this could be this invigorating. And I couldn't stop myself from thinking about Ashton, and as I continued to stare at him running on the field, I realized how hot he looked. I suddenly felt so jealous as I thought of every game that he would be surrounded by the beautiful cheerleaders and girls from different schools, who would be shouting his name.

"Hey, are you having fun now?" Oscar asked me, and I nodded my head as I took a side glance at him, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw my father clapping his hands, and I could tell my dad was enjoying himself watching the game. Our team is leading, and of course, thanks to my hot Quarter Back boyfriend, who played so well, and this is the only time I realized the role of Ashton being the Quarter Back. 

I never take my eyes from the field, and I couldn't stop myself from thinking about the time I spent with my boyfriend at his grandfather's place. I suddenly felt possessive of Ashton. And I wanted to be alone with him and let him kiss me until my lips got swollen. It feels like I am daydreaming of my boyfriend even if he was on the field busy running, catching, and throwing the ball. At the end of the second quarter, the score is 12-3, and the Astikoz high is leading. According to Oscar, after the second quarter comes halftime, which will give the players a fifteen-minute break.

The band started to play, and I could see the cheerleaders were ready to perform on the field. And as I looked at them, I realized cheerleaders and football players could be looked good together, and when I looked at Aston's ex, the cheerleader captain, I can't deny she looked so hot and beautiful out there while I was on the bleachers, and I am not even sure if he knew I was here. I tried to set Aside my worries as I watched my Dad and Dexter stand up to buy some hotdogs and popcorn. Mom and Ava talked while I tried my best to smile as I spoke with Alice and Oscar.

"I like your post, Meg, and it is about time that you show everyone that you are proud to be Ashton's girlfriend." Oscar declared.

"At least, for the first time she posted something, I always post for her, and the last time I posted on her account feels like ages ago." Alice seconded.

"I realized I really him, and I want Ashton to know I am so proud to be his girl," I responded as I looked at the players on the field, and I couldn't stop my heart from beating so fast.

"Of course, some are hoping to be his fling to have a chance to date him. You have a hot and handsome boyfriend, and you tried to hide him. Everyone would be excited to take your place, Megan." Oscar said as he looked at me In the eyes.

"Yeah, I realized that now, it feels terrific to watch him play football, and now I understood what I have missed, Oscar. For so long, you have been bugging me to come with you ever since you started watching football games, and for how many times I have ignored you." I declared, and he smiled at me.

"It is okay, Megan; at least it is not yet too late; you still have time to enjoy watching the game for the rest of the season. At least, your first-time experience was the best because you were watching the game with your family and friends, and the highlight is you can see your hot boyfriend running on the fields, and I can tell he was playing this game for you." I replied.

"I don't think he knew I was watching him," I responded.

"He saw you, Megan. He was staring at you after the game started, and I can tell if Zach didn't call his attention, he would become a statue watching you." He said, and I blushed, and I became more thrilled.

I texted Ashton, and I know he can't read my messages yet since the game is not yet finished, and I can see their coach is still talking with him. At the same time, the hot cheerleaders are busy dancing, jumping, tumbling, and chanting on the fields, and I can see Lauren did a perfect stunt that made the crowd crazy, and I couldn't deny, Lauren is an excellent performer.

The halftime is over, and it is now the start of the third quarter. As I continue to watch the game, there are moments I hold my breath, and then there are also times that no voice will come out from my mouth; and most of the time, I shout his name. It was thrilling watching them, and I can tell that football has started to fascinate me. I have learned some terms like fair catch, field goal, blocking, backfield, downfield, and many more.

At the end of the fourth quarter, the score was 27-9, which made our team the winner, the players were hugging each other, and the crowd roared, and I was talking with Oscar when I felt Alice nudged my elbow.

"What?" I asked her, and I could see the stunned look on her face. When I turned my head to look in the direction of her head, my heart leaped on my chest when I saw Ashton running on the fields. I don't want to assume, but the way I looked at it, he was coming in my direction, and my heart was pounding hard against my chest as I watched him without fluttering my eyes.

I have never felt so happy and excited in my entire life; Alice pulled me up from my chair while Oscar pushed my back. And before Ashton could reach me, I was already standing on the aisle with a broad smile on my face, and before I knew it, he was already in front of me, wearing a wide grin on his face.

He looked so hot as he removed his helmet, and I could feel the anticipation was killing me. I can see the beads of sweat trickling down from his forehead down to his pretty face. And I couldn't stop myself from biting my lower lip when I caught him staring into my lips.

"You came, " He murmured near my ear that made my entire body covered with goosebumps, and he lay his strong arms around my waist, and he pulled me closer to him. And before I could utter a single word, Ashton captured my hungry mouth, and he kissed me passionately in front of my family, friends, our fellow students, and the rest of the people who watched the game. As he continued to savor my lips, he tightened his arms around me, and I could smell his intoxicating masculine scent that made me feel dizzy, and my boyfriend kissed me until my lips got swollen while I heard his teammates cheered for him.

I heard his fans calling his name, and I can feel some of them were so happy to see him with me, and they got so excited to know that Ashton wasn't lying when he posted on his IG account that he has a girlfriend and as of the moment I felt so happy that it was me that he chose.

It felt like I was floating in the air as we continued to kiss. It was a wonderful kiss, and when Ashton released my mouth, I felt my entire body weakened, and I needed to hold his arms for support.

"You make me so happy, Megan, happier than winning the football game," Ashton said, and I am so overwhelmed with happiness that I lost my ability to speak. And as I stared at his handsome face, I realized he was looking at me with joy, and I could see the excitement on his face while he never let go of his hands from my waist.. And it feels like the noise from the background faded away, and all I can hear is the beating of Ashton's heart synched with mine.
