gan's POV
After my heart-to-heart talk with my mom, I felt more confident, and I felt like I could be whoever I wanted to be without fear because I had my mother to back up whatever happened. I felt so happy that mom made an effort to talk with , and she made open up with her about my love life. It feels so lovely to have the support of my entire family, and I wish there were sothing I could do about my job at Lauren's place. Still, I know Aunt Sonia will not allow to be absent because I am sure Lauren will never agree to it even if I give her a full refund of her paynt to us.
I went straight to my room after I talked with my mom, and I smiled when I found my sister sleeping on her bed with a Science book on her chest. I get the book and put it on her nightstand, and I cover her with the blanket. We are both lucky because we are number one in our class, and I am glad that Ava maintained her grades. I was in the middle of answering my assignnts when I rembered Ashton's post on his IG account.
I get my phone, and I open my IG app, and I am shocked that I have so many followers now, mostly guys from the Academy, there were also girls, but I didn't know them. My account is not private since, at first, I only had limited followers, and I realized maybe it happened after I beca Ashton's girlfriend. And the boys, especially the football players, started following , or perhaps it was when I stopped wearing my reading glasses, and I wore skirts, and I showed my legs.
I smiled when I saw Ashton following , and I followed him back; I started looking at his profile and posts, and I saw what my friends told about, and it has thousands of comnts now, and it feels like the entire teenage population of Astikoz is excited to know Ashton's love life. There are so many comnts that I skip reading, those written by unfamiliar nas, and I was holding my breath when I ca across Lauren's comnt, and it had many replies. These girls were trying to call my attention, and they wanted to show myself, and based on their comnts, it seems they are not challenging Ashton but .
So comnts are hurtful, and there are also hilarious, and I know that if Ashton read all the comnts, he will beco affected. And Alice and Oscar were right about Ashton's reputation being on the line since the girls said they couldn't believe Ashton would make up sothing like that, and I felt guilty that Ashton is now scorned because of . And if I care about his reputation, I should do sothing about it, and I don't know how I can convince Aunt Sonia to cancel my remaining two Saturdays and two Sundays at Lauren's mansion.
I beca more drawn to Ashton because he never told about his viral post. And he didn't even tell sothing about it, and I can tell because he cares for , and he doesn't want to get worried. I continued answering my assignnts with a beautiful smile on my face. After seeing his post and so of his replies to the comnts as I realized how much Ashton wanted .
"gan, I have good news for you," Alice said the mont we t at the entrance of the library the following day, and she was smiling at from ear to ear.
"What kind of news is that, Alice? You should make sure it can make happy," I replied.
"Aunt Sonia ca to our house this morning, and she said, we don't need to co and work at Lauren's place anymore," Alice said, and my eyes widened.
"What? Are you sure about that, Alice? You know Lauren, and I don't think she will allow to stop working for her until I finish the contract because that is what she wants to do? She wanted to humiliate and to make feel so little of myself. But working at her mansion will never make feel less of myself because I know we are doing a decent job. And there is nothing wrong with cleaning houses and tending the gardens, besides I love our job, Alice. And I will never be ashad of my work because I love what I do." I declared.
"I know what you an, g, but yes, it was confird. I even asked my aunt many tis, but she got irritated by why I had so many questions. She told I should be happy that I will have Saturday and Sunday off, and it is to our advantage because we have been paid for it, and I don't know what happened, but I think this is all happening right now because of one reason." Alice declared, and I raised my eyebrow.
"This is your chance to show up at Ashton's ga this coming Saturday and make him proud," Alice said.
"Yeah, this is fantastic news, Alice, and I don't know if Ashton or Zachary is behind all this, but I couldn't be happier," I replied, and I suddenly felt excited about it, even if I could feel the nervousness in . And I could tell my best friend was right, last night I was hoping that I would have an excuse from working at Lauren's place so that I can watch my boyfriend's ga, and now that my best friend is telling I am free to watch Ashton's ga I couldn't say no. And I'm going to tell my mom tonight that I am ready to watch the football ga for the first ti, and I am sure my mother will get excited. She will file a vacation leave to accompany to the stadium, and I felt excited about the ga, and I suddenly panicked about how I would get Ashton's Jersey.
"Do I need to tell Ashton about it?" I asked my best friend, and she suddenly stopped in her tracks, and she faced as she put one hand on her hip.
"It is a no, gan; you can't ruin the surprise. That is why you can't tell Ashton about it. You have to surprise your boyfriend, g. And we should have a facial on the night before the ga." She said, and I shook my head.
"I don't think that is necessary, Alice," I responded.
"Well, of course, you don't need to have a facial since you have a perfect face. You look like a model of a moisturizer product for having perfect
skin. And you don't need to go to the parlor as well since you have healthy hair." She said, and I blushed. I didn't talk with Ashton the entire day, but he texted now and then, and I felt inspired for the rest of the day. I got disappointed when Ashton texted sothing ca up, and he couldn't pick up tonight at the fish shop.
I think sothing is happening at their house, and I am sure it was his dad again. He told once, every ti his dad would co ho early, they needed to have dinner together. He told sotis they will have dinner at nearby cities riding their chopper, and just thinking about it made think I don't belong in his world, but I guess it is the beauty about loving because we can never teach our heart whom to love.
I was right, and my mother was ecstatic when I told her I was ready to watch Ashton's ga this Saturday. She told to be absent from my part-ti job on Friday because she wants to take to the beauty salon after my class before the football ga.
"Mom, you don't need to do that; Ashton liked for what I am," I said.
"gan, I will only bring you to the salon once in a blue moon; besides, I wanted to look beautiful during the ga. I am sorry that I can't take you in a fancy car, and your dad will be using the car, so we need to ride the bus or take a taxi this coming Saturday. I know Ashton is the son of Gregory Pritzgold, one of the wealthiest n in the country." Mom declared.
"It is okay, mom. I am used to commuting every day." I replied.
"I know you may feel uneasy about our status in life, but I hope it will never be the reason that you will feel unworthy of his love. My dear, you are special, and Ashton is so lucky to have you as his girlfriend. You are beautiful, intelligent, and talented." She added, and I laughed.
"Mom, I know you will always be proud of , and in your eyes, I will be the most beautiful girl in the universe because I am your daughter, and I felt so happy about it, but don't worry. I know my worth. I understand that I am way out of Ashton's league, but Ashton never let feel I am different from him, and he told we belong together." I replied, and mom smiled at .
"Oh, gan, that boy is so in love with you." My mom said, and I giggled.
The days passed by so quickly, and it was ti for to have a date with my mom. I already inford Anthony I couldn't report to my work on Friday because of a family matter, and I have a kind-hearted boss, and he allowed to be absent. I had a wonderful ti with my mom, and I enjoyed my facial, manicure, and pedicure, and she convinced to have hair treatnt too. I had a good ti, and I insisted on paying, but my mom took good care of everything, and I felt guilty because we didn't have enough money, but the happiness I saw on my mom's face when she looked at after we got out from the salon was priceless.. And I couldn't stop myself from feeling so excited about watching the football ga of Ashton tomorrow.
