Chapter 111: Having Fun

Megan's POV

I felt so delighted that Gael was not around at his place, and I released a soft sigh while I could still see my brother clenching his fists on the steering wheel.

"Gael is so lucky that he is not around, or else I could have beat him until he could no longer walk," Dexter said, and I touched his hand.

"Dex, I think it is a sign that you better let it go," I said in more than a whisper.

"How could you say that, Meg? He is ruining your career, and not only that; he is damaging your relationship with Ashton; he should think about the consequences before he does something like that." He answered.

"I understand that I hurt him, and there is nothing I can do to make him feel better," I responded.

"Yeah, but it doesn't mean he has the right to do something like that; kissing you without your consent with the media covering his actions was beyond crazy," he said, and I slumped my back on my seat.

"Well, in my opinion, how I wished to see Gael on the ground after what he had done to Megan, but I don't want to see you in jail, Dex." My sister interjected in our conversation, and my brother fell silent.

Dexter started the car, and I felt relieved that we were moving away from Gael's place because I was so afraid that Gael would suddenly come home, and I didn't want my brother to be in trouble.

"Where are we going, Dex?" I asked my brother when I realized he was taking a different route because our house is on the south side, while he took the road to the north.

"Relax, Meg; I asked dad and mom to take care of everything in the house while we will be having a siblings' day out." He responded, and I furrowed my forehead.

"A day out? I can't do that, Dex, I am so busy with my work, and I can't afford to have a day out, especially now that some of my clients are having doubts about my products after the scandal." I said.

"That is one thing why I wanted to teach Gael a lesson," Dexter said.

"Come on, Meg, we came here to have fun with you, we haven't seen you for a while, and you can't spend a day with us?" Ava added, I felt guilty, and I knew I couldn't win against them.

"Yeah, Ava is right; you are so focused on your career; you need to enjoy your life, Meg; you are still young, and I understand you wanted to be with Ashton right now, but don't worry, I am sure he will come to you and tell you everything will be alright," Dexter said, and how I wish my brother could be right.

"I hurt him, Dex, and I don't know how can I talk with him, he turned off his phone, and I don't know what to do anymore, and I don't want to look like a fool chasing him around. I already came to Ashton's office and house, but he is not around." I said.

"Don't worry, Meg, I am sure he will never abandon you; he loves you, Megan, and we all know how much Ashton wanted to spend the rest of his life with you; knowing he proposed to you is more than enough to know that you have something to hold on to," Dexter replied, and I couldn't stop myself from touching the engagement ring on my finger. I wish we could still make up.

My brother took us to one of the well-known restaurants in Majuscule, and I suddenly felt worried if we would meet Gael because it's one of his favorite places. And most celebrities come here to dine and enjoy their time with their loved ones because it is far from the city center. The location looked so perfect, but not suitable for the broken-hearted because it was such a romantic place, and you will end up crying if you dine alone and you are suffering from a broken relationship.

It was located on top of the mountain, and the spectacular view took my breath away. It made me miss Ashton more, and how I wish we could be together, and it would be so wonderful to have him with his siblings, my brother, and sister, but I don't even know if I will see him again.

"Meg, can you stop looking like that? I know you are in pain right now, and that is why we came here to be with you and make you realize you are not alone." Ava said as I watched the scenery before us, and I turned my head and looked at her.

"Yeah, I know, and thank you guys for coming, and I couldn't express how happy I am right now," I replied.

"Happy? You don't look happy to me, Megan." My brother said as he stared at my face.

"I am, Dex, and I am sorry that I am so affected by what happened," I replied, and my brother took my hand over the table.

"Of course, we understand everything, Meg. You can pour out everything, all the pain you are going through, and you can cry, and we are here to listen, and I can cry with you." My little sister said, and her words made me feel so touched.

"No more tears, for now, Ava; I don't want to waste your efforts for coming here. Thank you once again for coming, guys, for giving me enough reason to fight and to hold on, and yes, let's do this! Let's make this day as memorable as possible, and I will see to it this would be one of the best days of my life. Bring it on, guys!" I declared, and it made my brother erupt with laughter; and I couldn't stop laughing with him, and I realized it felt so good to have them in my life.

The food was superb, and I felt so loved. Then my siblings brought me to the mall, and we went to the bowling alley; I couldn't stop myself from feeling so thrilled, and I couldn't believe it when my sister handed me my socks, and I realized they had already planned our itinerary for the day.

We clapped our hands, and I yelled when Dexter knocked down all the pins on his first ball, and he got a Strike, and I know my siblings are like me, we are competitive, and we will never surrender until the end of the game either it would be card games or outdoor games.

I got frustrated that on my first attempt, my ball directly rolled towards the gutter, and my sister laughed at me.

"I need to warm up, Ava," I said as I sat down, and I couldn't believe she had knocked down seven pins on her first attempt, and she was able to hit the remaining three pins on her second ball, and she got a Spare.

Dexter was in the lead, and I was losing the game, and we agreed whoever lost the game would be the one who would pay for our meal. I could feel the thrill every time I positioned myself in front of the bowling lane. I used all my strength to hit the pins and to have a strike, and I jumped like a teenager when I knocked down all the pins and I watched them fall to the pit, and I was smiling from ear to ear as I turned around and looked at my siblings, and on the end of our first game, Dexter won, and Ava and I had the same score.

We agreed to have another set of games for a tiebreaker, and this time I made an extra effort; and my siblings were shocked when I got five strikes in a row, and I couldn't even believe it myself, and I was triumphant, and I was smiling at them like an idiot, and at the end of our second game I won, and Ava was the loser, and we agreed to have pizza, and I realized it was fun, and I missed playing games with them, and I realized I need to come home to Astikoz and make a visit once in a while

They wanted to try Archery, but my arms ached, and I didn't tell them about it because I didn't want them to know I had used up all my energy to win our bowling game. I suggested we would watch a movie, but Dexter said he doesn't like to watch a film because he was sure he would not like the movie my sister and I would choose.

We went to the Virtual World instead, and we watched horror. Ava was screaming for the entire five minutes while I was laughing so hard listening to hear screams, and she was clutching my hand so hard that it felt so numb after we watched the shortest yet for my sister; it was the longest clip Ava had ever observed. And we all end up feeling so hungry, and we eat like we haven't eaten for days.

It was already dark when we got out of the mall, and I had fun with my siblings, and I realized they were right; I needed to enjoy myself once in a while.

"Thank you, Ava, Dexter, for making my day. I hope we brought Axel with us." I said.

"Don't worry, and we will be having a family day out again; we will be staying for one week, and you don't need to worry about Axel, and I can help Alice run your company while you go on a vacation; with Ashton." My sister said, and I turned my head and looked at her.

"As if you are so sure Ashton would be there when we get home," I said. I couldn't stop myself from feeling sad again as I remembered what happened to Ashton and me, and I fell silent for the rest of the ride, and I hated to think that I still ended up my day feeling so miserable because I thought about Ashton. I closed my eyes and leaned my back on the car's backrest.

"Oh! I knew it!" I was startled by Ava's loud voice, and when I opened my eyes, I realized we were on Megalopre and in our driveway.

I couldn't stop my heart from pounding so hard against my chest as I looked at Ashton standing on our front porch, looking so sad yet so handsome and hot as always, and my heart swelled with happiness as I realized he was holding our son's hand.
