Ashton’s POV

I couldn’t believe that Megan would run off just like that after we shared a hot kiss, and I realized Zachary was right when he told me that Megan has never been kissed. And I couldn’t believe my luck, and now that I have tasted her lips, I couldn’t stop thinking about it, and this is the first time that a girl has run away from me after sharing a sweet kiss. All the girls that I have kiss will always stick around and cling into my arms and would be asking for more. Most of the time, the girls I dated will kiss me again after sharing a sweet kiss on our first date.

But I am aware that for Megan, it wasn’t our first date because she kept pushing me away. After all, she was very doubtful about my intention towards her, but I couldn’t blame her, and she has all the right to feel that way since she was right. I had have never given her a second glance every time we cross paths before, even if we have been classmates for a long time.

I must admit I have stolen Megan’s first kiss, but I don’t have any regrets at all because even if she looked so angry after our mind-blowing kiss, I am one hundred percent sure she enjoyed our lingering kiss. It would be best if she will become my girlfriend soon so I can kiss her anytime I want. And I can tell she could kiss even it was her first time, and I love tasting her sweet lips, and I became more drawn to her.

I am still leaning against my car, touching my lips while looking at Megan’s house. I hope she will look at me one more time before I go home. I waited for a while, but the windows on the upper part of the house facing my direction is still dark, and I am sure that room is hers. I let out a soft sigh before I moved, and I get inside my car and drive away from Megan’s place. And I could tell I felt so happy as I drive at a maximum speed limit because I felt so energetic and have never been this inspired before.

“Hey, you look so happy tonight, and it seems for me a girl touched your heart because I know that kind of smile.” My brother Lennon said the moment I find him with our youngest brother Cole at the recreation room, and they are playing video games. And I couldn’t stop myself from smiling. I am close with my brothers because I only have one year gap from Lennon and two years with Cole. My parents always remind us that we should look out for each other because family is important, especially our relationship with each other. But we always love having brotherly competition, be it in sports or video games.

Our mom is very close to us since she is personally hands-on being a mother because my dad never allows her to work in the office. And even if we have maids in our house, my mom always takes good care of our needs. And she constantly sees to it that we are doing good in school, and even though our father is always busy, we can still feel his efforts of finding time to be with us, and our mother always reminds us that our father is always working hard to provide for our family. And our father, Gregory Pritzgold, is a strict man, especially in terms of work, and being the head of our family, so we always follow what he wants, and we never complain since he is a good provider. I only started to feel distant from my dad when he told me I should never make football a career, and it breaks my heart because I love football so much.

“Yeah, and this girl rock my world, and this is the first time that I am very interested in a girl.” I declared.

“Wow, the football prodigy of Astikoz International Academy is in love.” My brother said, and he glanced my way and returned his focus on the screen, while our youngest brother looked serious with his game because I can tell he is about to win.

“No, no, no! Not again, Cole, that is not cool beating your elder brother over and over again.” Lennon complained, and it made Cole’s laughter reverberated the entire playroom, and he stood up and powered off the PlayStation.

“That is unfair, brother; we still need to play one more game before we call it at night,” Lennon said.

“I am tired, Lennon. Besides, it is no fun playing with you because you always lose, and I’ve got homework to do.” He replied, and it made me laughed, and Cole run away from the playroom because Lennon got so angry with his words.

“Why are you even angry, Lennon? Our brother just stated a fact. So, you need to accept that among the three of us, you always lose.” I said, and he hands up his hands.

“Okay, I concede, but at least I have the coolest girlfriend; unlike you, you never meet someone like my girl.” He said, and I agree, since they have been dating since ninth grade, and I can tell they are going strong.

“Well, wait and see. I am going to have the coolest girlfriend ever.” I said, and his smile widened.

“It is so hard to believe what you are saying right now unless I can see it with my two eyes. You don’t like commitment, Ashton, that is why you don’t have a steady girlfriend, and you didn’t even have a serious relationship. Those girls are still hang up with you, and I know because those girls will always follow you around, and you are confident they are just there, and I hope that you will never fall in love yet with a girl that will turn you down.” My brother said.

“But sometimes I wish you will wake up one day and found yourself so crazy with just one girl who is different from any girl that you encounter so you will realize what heartaches means.” He said, and his words bothered me since it feels like Megan Corteza fits my brother’s description, but I set aside my worries because I am confident I can woo her.

“It will never happen to me, Lennon, because I am confident with my charm, and I know my physical appearance alone is enough to make any girl go on a date with me.” I confidently said, but deep inside my heart, I am beginning to feel worried because this is the first time I feel something like this towards a girl.

“Don’t be so sure of yourself, bro, because there will always be a first time for everything.” My brother said, and he went outside the playroom ahead of me while I remain seated, thinking of what he had said. I slowly got up after a while and walked towards my room. I already answered all my assignments, and I am reading our lesson in advance, but I couldn’t stop myself from getting distracted by Megan’s face. I couldn’t stop thinking about her and our kiss, and I hate to think that it feels like my kissing experiences were all gone, and all I can remember is the kiss I shared with her.

I close my book and hit the bed, but still, I couldn’t stop thinking about Megan, and it feels like she’s the only one I can think of right now. And I felt like I am going crazy, and I find it hard to sleep.

I wake up early the following morning even if I don’t have enough sleep because of Megan. And I admit this is the first time that I experienced this way, and I realized that my brother was right when he told me that there would always be a first time for everything.

“Good morning, Ashton, and this is indeed a good morning because you wake up so early, son.” My mom greeted me the moment I got inside the dining room, and she is setting the table for us.

“Good morning, mom. I need to leave early for practice.” I said, and I kissed my mom’s cheeks before I sit down on the dining chair. And I always love our breakfast because our mother prepared them. And I can tell my brothers are still taking a bath at this hour, I know I need to go to school for early practice, but I have another purpose of waking up early. I am aware Megan always comes to school earlier than any other students except the varsities. I always see her on the school ground on her way to the library.

Yes, I admit that I didn’t give her a second glance when she was watching me, but the truth is there are times I looked at her for a long time because I am impressed with her dedication to her studies, unlike most girls who spend their time in the locker room talking and looking at their faces on the mirror. I have always known that Megan was different, and the clothes she wears always make me smile. There are moments I wonder what is behind those pants and long dresses that she wore because I haven’t seen her wear mini skirts, and if ever she does, she will cover her legs with elastic tights or the thickest stockings a girl could wear.

I left our house with a happy face as I drive my car going to Megan’s house. She takes my breath away the moment she got out of her house. I stifled a laugh when Megan almost stumbles on the ground because of her shock the moment she saw me leaning on my car waiting for her to come out of her house.. I can’t stop myself from feeling so excited as I think my heart rate increases as she walks closer to me, and I realized she looked so perfect in my eyes.
