At that moment, I got a call and when I finished talking 10 minutes later, I was unable to select and pay for that upgrade.

Is there anyway for me to buy that $149 upgrade now?

Cancel the ticket and try again. Typical price is more like $199 (also usually extra cost to buy F outright) but you may see the same offer again.
