Chapter 153 - I Was Having Fun

Megan's POV

Kissing and hugging Ashton will never be enough, but I know we need to control ourselves because we are in a public place, and even if the place is deserted, we both know anyone will come and could see us.

"Megan, you are killing me," Ashton grunted as he kissed my neck while he was caressing my back, and I was moaning as he trailed kisses on my throat down to my shoulder, and I was gripping on his hair while my eyes were closed. It feels so wonderful to be with him, and I don't want to go home yet, but I miss Axel so much, and I couldn't wait to be with our son and introduce Ashton to him.

"You are making my knees feel so weak," I said in more than a whisper.

"Let us head back now, and I don't want them to wonder where we are." Ashton declared.

"Yeah, we better get back to our cottage now," I said, and I felt Ashton release my waist, and then he took my hand. We walked back to our cottage in silence, but I could feel that he was watching my face, and when I darted a glance at him, I found him gazing at me, and I laughed when he almost stumbled on the ground.

"You should stop looking at me, Ashton," I said, and I couldn't stop myself from giggling while I tried to escape from his hold, but since he was so strong, I couldn't get away from him, and his touch made me feel like I was floating in the air.

"How can I stop myself from looking at you, Meg? I don't think I can control myself, and even if you are my girlfriend now, I still wanted to gaze at your beautiful face because I was dying to be with you, and for the last eight years, I don't have anything on my mind, but to be with you." Ashton said, and my heart swelled with happiness.

"Me too; I have been waiting for this moment even if I hated you for eight years," I responded.

"Thank you, Meg." He said, and I gave him one of my sweetest smiles.

"I wanted to stay here with you in this place, but I want to see our son, and I am excited to know him, and even if I already met Axel, I am still afraid of his reaction, and I hope he will like me." He said, and I could feel his worries.

"Hey, don't worry, Axel is a good boy, and he already loves you, and I could tell our son will embrace you as his dad," I responded, and I squeezed his hand.

"Can we have a date tonight?" He asked, and I blushed, and I slowly nodded my head. And I realized I didn't need to hide my feelings for him anymore. And even if I didn't change into dry clothes, I didn't feel cold at all since I was holding Ashton's hand, and we were walking so close with each other.

The moment we arrived in front of my cottage, Ashton looked around. When he was sure no one was looking at us, he claimed my lips and kissed me passionately, and then Ashton nibbled my ear before saying goodbye. I got inside our cottage feeling so giddy, and I couldn't stop myself from dancing around, and I could tell Alice was inside the bathroom since I could hear the dripping of water from the shower.

My face turned crimson when I realized Ashton was looking at me over his cottage window. He looked at me with admiration and amusement on his face, and he was grinning at me. I could feel the rapid beating of my heart as I continued dancing with my heart, and I swayed my hips with my imaginary music, and it felt like I was dancing for Ashton.

I tried my best to look seductive as I could, and I was biting my bottom lip as I looked at my boyfriend, and I could tell he was groaning. He wanted to be with me, and I put my hands in the air while I turned around and continued swinging my hips; as I came closer to the window, Ashton's intense gaze made my entire body set on fire.

I know every time I am alone with Ashton, I cannot control the burning sensation in my entire body, and I teased him by closing the window, and I walked inside just in time; Alice got out from the shower.

"Wow, it seems you are enjoying your time with your boyfriend, Meg." She said, and I smiled at him.

"My ex-boyfriend." I corrected, and she winced.

"Stop lying to me, Megan, I know you are back together, and whether you will tell me or not, all your actions are enough to tell everyone on this camp that you are a couple; you will never allow your friend to kiss you on the lips, Meg." She replied, and I was blushing, and I became speechless as I realized my best friend saw us kissing, and I turned around and walked towards the bathroom without looking back at my best friend.

"You looked so sexy when you were dancing this afternoon, Meg, and I hate that you closed the window while I was watching you," Ashton said when I got outside from our cottage, and I was surprised that he was waiting for me.

"I felt shy since I am not a good dancer," I said, and he held my hand as we made our way to the main dining hall of the retreat facility to eat our dinner, and I am sure Alice was with Zachary since she asked me if she could go ahead after she helped me with my hair.

"Are you kidding me? The way you swayed your hips made you look so sexy and damn hot. You danced with your soul, Meg, and I could tell you were teasing me since you invited me by summoning me with your fingers, yet, you closed your window." He declared.

"I didn't summon you, Ashton; it was part of the dance moves," I responded, and he laughed.

"And why didn't you open the window again? I waited for you to come back by the window, but I could no longer take the cold since I was still wearing my wet clothes. The wind got chilly, and I needed to take a hot shower right away, and I felt glad you are still here waiting for me." He said.

"I am sorry, I got conscious," I said, and there is no way I will tell my boyfriend he was right; I was only teasing him.

The dinner was superb, and we had fun because there was activity after our dinner since it was our last night on the facility, we were all gathered in the hall, and I felt shocked when there was a little program, and when the in-charge asked us who wanted to volunteer to have an intermission number; I was stunned when Alice and Zachary mentioned Ashton and my name to have a duet, and everybody was looking at us now.

It has been a long time since I sang a song in front of a crowd, even if I kept composing songs for Gael because it hurts me every time I remember the night I have sung in front of a group. It was the first time I met Gael, and I was with Ashton at that time, and I couldn't stop myself from thinking about him. I couldn't deny it was because of Ashton, even if during my college days, I declined every time I was asked to sing a song when there was a program in our University. And right now, as I saw Ashton offer his hand to me, I hesitated.

"Come on, Meg, you can do this." He said with a wide grin on his face, and I shook my head.

"I am sorry, Ashton, I can't," I replied, but when I heard the crowd shout in unison, calling our names, I could no longer say no. I slowly got up from my seat while looking at Ashton's face.

I was shocked when Ashton got a guitar from one of the guests in the facility, and when he started strumming the guitar with his fingers, I almost forgot that he was good with what he does. I sang while he played the guitar for me, and when he started singing with me, the entire crowd got so crazy, and I couldn't deny I was having fun. It was nice to sing along with him again, and I remember the old times when we were singing at the treehouse near the lake, and I remembered everything. All the good memories I had with Ashton, and I realized how much I miss singing.

And I was shocked when Alice volunteered to have a dance number with Zachary, and I was amazed and so happy that they looked so good together. I could tell Zach could dance, and they looked like a real couple now, and I was shaking my head while I watched them with amusement on my face.. I am so proud to look at my friends, and right now, I feel so happy as I realize I don't have regrets about coming here since everything turned out so well, and for the first time, I felt so happy and complete after a long time.
