Chapter 68: I Am Yours

Ashton's POV

I wanted to stay another night at Megan's place and play football and board games with my son during the day and sleep beside her at night, but I didn't want her to think I was abusing her hospitality, and maybe when the right time comes, I will ask her to live with me. I couldn't wait to ask her to be my wife, but I didn't want to shock Megan; I would wait for the right time, and I was so afraid she would turn me down.

I said goodbye to them with a heavy heart, I kissed Axel's forehead, and when I kissed Megan on the lips, I didn't want to release her mouth. Still, I was aware that our son was looking at us, and I was hoping Megan would ask me to stay, but she didn't, so I got inside my car feeling a little down, but I still felt glad I got Megan back, and I will have enough time to be with her and our son.

I feel a little disappointed because I have been waiting for Megan to ask me to be with them on the family day when we watched the sunrise together. Still, she didn't, and I understood that she was worried about Gael again. I couldn't blame her, though, because he had been part of her life ever since she left Astikoz, and now that we are back together, I need to be understanding, and I have to deal with Gael since it was because of me that Megan became friends with him.

"So, when can I see my nephew?" Isabelle asked me when I got inside my house, and I felt happy to see my sister. 

"Soon!" I replied, feeling so sure that one of these days, I could ask Megan to bring my son to my house.

"Are you sure Megan will allow him to come with you?" She asked, and I nodded my head.

"Yeah, she will; she is my girlfriend now, and I needed to show her that they mean the world to me, Belle," I said, and my sister smiled at me.

"Of course, Ashton, I know ever since she became your girlfriend, you didn't love anyone else, and it was always Megan, and I am so happy that you are back together, and knowing you had a son is amazing, and I couldn't wait to see him," She responded.

I spent the following day with my sister, and I called Megan; and we had talked for a while, and I felt so happy she let me speak with our son. Monday came, and I could no longer wait to see her, and even if I had an early meeting, I couldn't stop thinking about my girl, and I kept calling her phone number, but Megan wouldn't answer my call. I texted her that I wanted to have lunch with her. Still, I hadn't received any reply, and I suddenly felt worried if something was wrong.

I ran towards the parking lot after I met with my managerial staff, and I felt so excited as I bought a bouquet for Megan; I had always known flowers would always be her weakness, I could still remember the first time I gave her flowers, and it made me so happy. 

I was thinking about my son's invitation this coming Friday. Even if I am still apprehensive about attending, I have already cleared my schedule since I don't want to disappoint Axel if I don't show up. But I am worried if Megan will get angry since she will be expecting Gael and not me, and I need to speak with her regarding this matter.

I know it was only my alibi since the truth is I wanted to see her again, and I couldn't believe I would be missing her this way, knowing we had been together last Saturday. I could smell the fragrance of the flowers inside my car, and I was smiling the entire drive going to Megan's office, and I was carrying the bouquet in my hands as I got inside the lobby. I could see how the face of the receptionist lit up when she saw me coming.

"Good morning, Ashton!" She greeted me with a beautiful smile on her face, and I was no longer shocked when she recognized me, and I am sure her boyfriend is a football fan, or she could be one. 

"I would like to see Ms. Megan Corteza, please," I said while she was looking at me the entire time without fluttering her eyes, and her smile widened when I told her I wanted to see her boss.

"I am sorry, even if you are a famous football player, you still need to have an appointment with her." She politely said, and I shook my head.

"Miss, I don't think her boyfriend needed an appointment just to see her," I said, and she blushed, and I could see the surprise on her face.

"I am sorry, please kindly proceed to her office." She said, and I muttered my thanks to her after she told me which way to go, and I couldn't stop myself from feeling so nervous. And I felt so happy to see Alice on my way to Megan's office, and after we greeted each other, she walked to her office while I stood in front of my girlfriend's office door for a while before I got the courage to knock, but she didn't open the door for me.

I opened her door and invited myself in, and I was stunned when I saw flowers all over her place. I almost thought I was inside a flower shop and not an office, and I suddenly realized they all came from Gael when I couldn't stop my curiosity, and I read one of the flower tags since Megan was so engrossed with the documents on her table.

I slowly hid the bouquet I was bringing because I felt embarrassed when I only bought one bouquet when Gael gave her the entire flowers of a flower shop. Just on time, Megan lifted her head and saw me, and even if I felt jealous, I couldn't stop my heart from feeling so happy when she gave me her sweetest smile.

I was standing like a statue while I could hear the loud pounding of my heart as I watched Megan walk gracefully in my direction. When we were an inch away from each other, I could smell her sweet scent that would always drive me nuts, and when she stood on her toes and kissed me on the lips, I could no longer stop myself from pulling her closer to me, and I kissed her back more demandingly than I could ever be.

We were kissing each other while I felt the bouquet fall on the floor, and I couldn't stop myself from caressing her thighs; I was lifting the hem of her pencil-cut skirt, and I could hear Megan's soft moans as I stroked her legs with my fingers. At the same time, my mouth traveled from her mouth down to her throat.

I couldn't get enough with Megan, and I needed to stop before I brought her on top of the table, and I found it so tempting, but I needed to take her to lunch, but I captured her mouth one more time, and I deepened our kiss until I could feel her pull my hair. We were both out of breath after I released her mouth. I put my forehead on hers, and she clung to me, and I hugged her for a long time.

"You didn't answer your phone, and I felt so worried, and I am sorry if I came uninvited," I said as I caressed her face.

"You don't need to apologize, Ashton; I love surprises, and sorry that I got so busy, and I had forgotten that my phone is in silent mode." She responded as she smiled at me.

"Where is my bouquet?" She inquired, and I was combing my hair with my fingers as I could feel my face blush; I tried to look around, and she picked it up from the floor.

"I am sorry," She didn't let me finish when she put her finger on my lips.

"Ashton, I don't need the entire field of flowers; I don't care if I will receive one stem rose coming from you; knowing it came from you would be enough to make me feel so happy and special. Thank you for these flowers, Ashton; they are so beautiful." She declared.

I couldn't stop myself from smiling, knowing I only gave her a bouquet of roses while she got all types of flowers from all over the world from Gael. I could tell he spent a fortune, and I appreciate his effort, and he must love my girl so much, and I felt so lucky I am the one with her right now.

We got out of her office holding hands, and I could see the surprised look of her employees; I was shocked when she stopped at the center of the biggest office, and a lot of staff were there at their tables busy answering telephone calls, and they were all looking at us with wide eyes.

"Everyone, meet my boyfriend, Ashton, and he is the father of my son." She proudly said, and she pulled me with her, and I could hear the gasp of her employees, but I could hear the girls giggling, and I knew the moment we left, they would be talking about us nonstop.

And as we were walking towards the elevator, I could see the smile on her face, and I couldn't believe what had just happened.

"Thank you, Meg," I said, and she raised her eyebrows.

"For what?" She asked in return.

"For being proud of me as your boyfriend, you make me feel so happy, Meg," I said, and she looked up at me.

"You made me happier the moment you showed up in my office with a bouquet. I don't want to hide about us anymore, I am so happy when I am with you, and I want everyone to know you are mine." She responded, and it made my heart swell with happiness.

"And I am yours, Meg," I responded as we got inside the elevator holding hands and smiling at each other like we were still teenagers.
