Chapter 31 - Lauren’s Party

Ashton's POV

I didn't expect that my injury will lead me to spend more time with my girlfriend. And I felt so happy that after class, we have time alone together for the rest of the week since coach Davis gave me enough time to recover from my minor injury, and Megan didn't have a part-time job at the moment. And I want to ask Megan about it, but I am hesitant because I am afraid she will feel ashamed, and I want her to tell me the truth. But I can feel she is still uneasy about our relationship, but I want to make Megan feel comfortable around me.

And as time goes by, I can feel that Megan is beginning to trust me even if we keep our relationship secret from her brother. I hate that I can't go and visit her in her house, but I understand her condition. It is better to date her in secret than not having a relationship with Megan at all. My girlfriend gave me only two options either we will continue to date in secret, or we will break up if I will insist on going to her house. And of course, I chose the first option because I want to be her boyfriend. I love watching Megan's beautiful face and hearing her sweet voice, and most of all, I became crazy with Megan's body.

I was shocked at first when I found her wearing a mini skirt and off the shoulder blouse. She looked so gorgeous, and from that moment on, she started wearing sexy dresses that made the boys at the academy drool over her. Still, they couldn't make any move because the entire population in our school now knew that Megan Corteza is my girlfriend. I felt jealous most of the times when I found my teammates staring at her gorgeous legs and her beautiful face, especially if she will tie her hair in a ponytail or if she will braid her hair on the sides.

Megan became the hot topic in the entire campus after her transformation, but for me, she didn't transform at all. I have always seen her natural beauty beneath her eyeglasses, and this time she told me she has a twenty-twenty vision. Megan only wears glasses for the protection of her eyes for reading purposes only. And when I asked her if she could remove her eyeglasses for me, I felt so glad on the following day she wasn't wearing glasses at all, and I wish I didn't ask her to do it because she became hotter now without her eyeglasses. And I couldn't stop myself from feeling jealous, and I am just glad we are together for the rest of the week since I was excused fr practice.

I brought Megan to my favorite place, and no one knew about this because this is my sanctuary. And every time my dad told me that I should stop playing football, I will go here, lay at the back of my pick-up, and watch the starry night alone. We came here before sunset because I want my girl to see the beauty of the field before it gets dark, and now that the darkness enveloped the earth, I switch on my car's headlights.

"So, this is your favorite place?" Megan asked, and I nodded my head.

"Can you tell me why? I never thought you are a romantic type of person, Ashton." She declared, and I chuckled.

"I just like it here, and it is so peaceful," I replied, and she smiled.

"Yeah, you are right, and it feels like the stars are so close to us that I can almost bring them into my hands." She said, and I smiled at her before I captured her lips, and it seems like I am addicted to Megan's lips.

"And I would like to have you here every day, but I know we are both busy, but I promise to find time to be with you, but I understand you have a part-time job if ever I don't have practice," I said. My girlfriend looked at me with her beautiful eyes, and I love the feeling of having her on my lap. I love caressing her hair while she was gazing at the stars above us.

"Why can't I see you tomorrow?" I asked her.

"I already told you I couldn't. Lily's aunt informed us that there is a chance we will finish our work at midnight." She replied, and I want to offer her to spend her time with me, and I will pay her, and I know I can't do that if I want to continue dating her. I am aware Megan is so different from the girl I dated before.

My previous flings always talked about shopping and buying cosmetics, jewelry, and clothes, while Megan was busy talking about her part-time jobs, and I became fascinated with her.

"You will be exhausted by that, Meg," I said as I worry about her working from morning to midnight, and she only laughed.

"I am used to it, Ashton, and don't worry, and your girlfriend can manage." She said, and when I heard the girlfriend's word, it made me feel so happy.

"Thank you, Meg," I said, and she looked at me with wide eyes before she speaks.

"What are you thanking me for, Ashton?" She inquired.

"For making me feel so happy and for giving me a chance to be your boyfriend." I declared, and Megan smiled as she caressed my face.

"You are welcome, and it only means I also need to say thank you to you for making me feel this way. And for making me your girlfriend even though it feels so impossible to be your girl, but it happened, and I felt so glad about it, and thank you for bringing me here to your favorite place. It means a lot to me." She replied.

"If we only have enough time every day, I would love to bring you here, Megan," I said, and she beamed at me.

I don't want Megan to send her to her house yet, but I know she needs to wake up early for her job. So, I don't have a choice but to get up from the cargo bed of my pick-up truck. I put my hands on her waist as I helped my girlfriend to get down on the ground, and I kissed her one more time before I finally let her go, and I opened the passenger's seat, and I stifled a laugh when she settled herself immediately before I can haul her from the ground. And I know she doesn't want me to pick her up because she felt so conscious of my presence, but I want to get closer with my girlfriend.

Instead of getting on the driver's seat, I buckled her seatbelt, and I can feel her uneasiness in a good way. And I like it that she became so affected by my nearness.

"I won't bite you, Meg. I will do the opposite, you know." I said, and I saw her face blushed before turning around and walking to the driver's seat. She was silent the entire ride, but she looked so adorable when I found her stealing glances at me out of the corner of my eye.

I stopped the car as far away as possible from their house since she informed me her elder brother could be at home since it was his day off today, and I want to spend more time with her, and I asked to have dinner with her first before I allow her to walk in their house.

"Don't you have a date with Megan today, Ashton?" Cole asked me the moment I enter the playroom on Saturday morning.

"I want to have a date with her, but she got busy with her part-time job," I said, and I know Lennon is having a date with her girlfriend, Sherry, that is why I couldn't find him inside.

"How about after her part-time job?" He asked, and I shook my head.

"She will be working until midnight," I replied, and he turned away his head from the screen, and he looked at me.

"Wom! You have a beautiful, hot, and workaholic girlfriend." He said, and I laughed with my brother's description of Megan.

"She is indeed a workaholic, and I want to help her, and I am trying to find a solution that I can help Megan to reduce her workload so she can have time to enjoy her senior life," I said.

"Why not hire her as a part-timer in our house? And all she needs to do is to be with you." My brother replied, and I shook my head.

"You know Megan's personality, Cole, and she won't accept that kind of idea," I said, and I let out a heavy sighed.

"Don't worry, I will ask Lennon for possible ideas, and I think we can come up with some ideas she can't refuse," Cole said, and I smiled at him, and I sat down beside him when he offered me the joystick.

"Are you going to Lauren's party later?" My brother asked me.

"Maybe, but since I don't have a date with Megan, I will go there for a while, and after I said hi to my teammates, I will just go home," I replied.

The truth is, I don't want to go to any of Lauren's parties, but I was hoping I could talk to her. I want to ask her to stop bothering Megan because I know she was hurting Megan on purpose. 

Lennon and Cole came to my room when it was time to go to Lauren's place. When we came to her house, we can tell that our friends have arrived since we can see familiar cars. She already texted me that she is having a party at the poolside. I couldn't stop my heart from hammering when I saw Alice serving food in a maid's uniform, and ther is no doubt my girlfriend is there, and I suddenly felt worried as I realized Lauren has a big plan tonight.. I walked fast, looking for Megan, and I have to hold my breath because even if she was wearing a maid's uniform, Megan still looked so hot and beautiful, and I can't stop my heart from beating so fast as I walked closer to my hot girlfriend.
