Chapter 198 - I Believe In Miracles
Megan\'s POV
I woke up still wearing the same smile before I dozed off last night, and I could hear the chirping of the birds, and it felt like a lullaby on my ear, and what made me smile more was the warmth of Ashton\'s naked body next to mine. And as if only recently that I gave my all to him, in this treehouse, I gave up my virginity to this man sleeping peacefully beside me, and I felt proud that he was the only man I love.
In this treehouse, we shared the sweetness of our love, and I could tell we made Axel here in this paradise. I still feel the same way towards him, but only this time, my love for Ashton is stronger, and I wish everything would be in place, and I know we still need to face his dad. I wanted to ask him if he asked his father\'s blessing before he proposed to me last night, but I didn\'t want to ruin his surprise, besides my heart filled with too much happiness.
I got up slowly from the bed, and I pulled the blanket to cover my naked body as I walked towards the window of the treehouse, and the scenery before me took my breath away. I have always loved the lake, but after what happened to our relationship for eight years, I hated going to any lake.
Because I know I can\'t stop myself from thinking about Ashton no matter how I try, and I know I will always feel so lonely. I tried to hide my loneliness from Alice and Gael, but I found out later that they felt so worried about my condition because they never saw me look so serious; they will always see me with my wide smile plastered on my face because I don\'t want them to pity me.
And now, I couldn\'t stop smiling from ear to ear as I looked at the shiny diamond engagement ring on my finger. I was gazing at my engagement ring that I didn\'t notice Ashton had already gotten up from the bed, and when I felt his arms hugging me from behind, I smiled as I leaned my back on his muscular body, and I slowly tilted my head on his chiseled chest.
"Good morning, my beautiful fiancee!" He greeted me in more than a whisper, and I could feel his warm breath on my earlobe.
"Good morning, handsome!" I responded, and we both fell silent while I could feel his hands caressing my arms while we gawked at the view before us. And I was in awe as I witnessed the breaking of dawn, and in silence, we watched the sun rays crept on the horizon. I could feel the morning breeze that brushed my skin, shivering to my entire frame.
"I wanted to stay here and make love with you the entire day until you could feel the soreness all over your body, Meg, but we can\'t; we need to be with them. And I am sure our son would be looking for us." Ashton said before he spun me around so I would be facing him.
And with one fluid motion, my fiance snatched the blanket away from my body, and I felt so conscious being naked in front of him, and he removed my hands that I covered from my sensitive parts.
"Meg, you don\'t need to hide your glorious body from me because I can memorize every contour of your torso, and there is nothing you should be ashamed of because I love and worship every inch of you." He said in a husky voice that made me blush, and I could feel the tingling sensation all over my frame when I looked down and found the evidence of how much he adored my body.
And when he touched me, I could feel the electricity that ignited my body, and I felt so warm and wet. I closed my eyes as he began kissing me, and I loved how his lips kissed me, and when he carried me to the bed, I couldn\'t stop myself from giggling, and I had forgotten that I was shy as I let him take me with total abandon.
And I begged Ashton not to stop when he found and caressed my sensitive parts between my legs while my fingers were fisting his hair. My moans and his grunts filled the room as we made love again, and I loved every millisecond of our sweet and hot lovemaking, which made me curl my toes and arched my back.
I bucked my hips to receive his every thrust. I always love the feeling of having Ashton inside me; we kissed and touched each other like it was our first time to be one. The way he is buried inside me makes me delirious with lust, and I let go of My orgasm while screaming his name. He collapsed beside me on the bed, panting, and I smiled when I looked at his face looking at me with too much love, and I wished everything would be alright between us because I didn\'t want to be away from him ever again.
"Congratulations!" I was shocked when we got inside his grandpa\'s mansion and found my parents with my best friend and Ashton\'s best buddy, Zachary. And they are all in the living room, including Ashton\'s siblings and grandparents, and even Clara is with them. And I could see the decorations on the whole place while our son ran towards us, and he hugged us both with his little arms.
"You all knew he is going to propose, except me?" I asked, and they all nodded with broad smiles on their faces.
"We can\'t ruin the surprise, Meg, and of course, Ashton briefed all of us; I had been dying to tell you because I got excited when he told me he was going to propose to you, and it took a lot of my will power to stop my mouth from telling you anything, I even wanted to give you hints, but I realized it is better if you don\'t have any idea with what is going on," Alice excitedly said while I couldn\'t stop the tears of happiness from falling on my cheeks.
I didn\'t expect Ashton had already informed everyone about his proposal, and when I looked at my parents, they were beaming at me, and I could see the tears that welled up in my mom\'s eyes.
"Congratulations to you both; when Ashton asked me to give him my blessings, I felt so embarrassed, I know I didn\'t deserve to be called Megan\'s dad when I abandoned her when she needed me the most, and Ashton made me realize I will always be my daughter\'s father." My father declared as he looked at my face with tenderness, and I could see the pain and regrets on his face.
"I am not proud of what I have done, but I promised to make it up with you, Megan. Thank you to the man you love, who respected my wife and me. When Ashton came to our house and begged me to come with him to Megalopre, I hesitated because I was terrified to face Megan, and I was scared if my daughter would ask me why I had forsaken her during that time." My father added as he looked at Ashton\'s siblings.
"But none of those things happen, and one of the things that convinced me to meet my daughter after so many years; was when Ashton told me he wanted us to be there for Megan for her wedding. He said it would never be complete without us because this young man told me our daughter never stopped loving us. And it made me cry knowing I have the best daughter in the world." Dad said as he turned his gaze on me.
"Meg, I know I am not a perfect dad to you, but one thing I can assure you, you have the perfect man who loves you, and he is even willing to give up his own happiness just for you. And as a father, that is one of the things I wished for you. I wanted you to have the best man in this world, and I felt so glad you found each other. We are so happy about your engagement. And Ashton, I am so proud to call you my son. Welcome to our family." My father said with a wide grin on his face, and I ran towards him, and I tightly embraced my father.
"Thank you so much, Daddy," I said while my tears made his shirt wet, and I felt him tighten his arms around me.
"I love you, Megan, and I am so happy for you, my dear." He whispered in my ear while he caressed my head, and I looked up at my dad and smiled at him.
"I love you more, dad; I love you both, and thank you for making this day complete." I softly said, and then he slowly released me from his embrace, and I turned to my mom, and she took me into her loving arms and no words spoken between us, but I could feel my mother\'s love that always makes me feel at peace.
"Dad, are you going to marry my mom?" I heard Axel ask his father as we sat at the dining table.
"Yes, Axel, I will marry your mom, and guess what?" His father asked, and I could see the amusement on our son\'s face.
"What, dad?" Axel asked his father.
"You will be our ring bearer, and it means you will be carrying the ring pillows that have the rings." My fiance said, and I couldn\'t stop myself from having butterflies on my stomach when I felt his hand on my thigh.
"Who will be the flower girls, dad?" He asked, and Ashton looked at me while everyone laughed, and I couldn\'t wait to plan the wedding with Ashton, and we ate our sumptuous meal happily, and I could feel the gratification in my heart, but there is a part of me that feels sad.. I wished that on our wedding day, Aston\'s parents would be there to give him the moral support that he needed, but I know Gregory Pritzgold will never accept me as us his daughter-in-law, but I still believe in miracles.
