He gently caressed her hair, not to wake her up. It's cold and she's hugging the fleece blanket. It's also raining hard outside and last night's lovemaking is always good. He liked watching her had her orgasm and he loved hearing her pleased moan. She's his goddess after all. He never felt so in love in his entire life like this.

Since the typhoon is still raging outside his house, work has been canceled. Also, he wanted to treat her well. Massage her, served her breakfast and all. She just finished her dangerous assignment. She's been restless too. The only thing he needed to do is to give her special treatment.

​​

He gently planted his lips to her cheeks. He slipped off from bed, put his boxers shorts on, and went downstairs to the kitchen. He washed his hands first and took out the ingredients to prepare for the breakfast. She liked heavy food for breakfast.

Just as when he's busy preparing breakfast, his phone rings. He turned off the pan so the egg won't get burned.

"Hi, mom."

"Uh, where are you?"

"I'm home."

"Your girlfriend's house or your house?"

"My house and she's still sleeping."

"Hmm, I just hope that she's not treating you as a maid."

"Not at all. She's a great person, mom. I can't wait for you to meet her."

"What's her name again?"

"It's Athena Lawson." He answered happily. His mother did not respond on the other line. "Mom, you there?"

"Y-yeah."

"You okay?"

"Yes, someone just called me. Take care, my baby."

"I will, I love you."

"I love you too."

He put away his phone. He designed the plate perfectly. He even made a flower out of the tomato. He went upstairs and put the food over the bed. He crawled toward her and kissed her lips passionately. She pushed and covered his mouth and nose.

"I already brush my teeth." He said softly and kissed her palm.

"But I haven't brushed mine."

"It's fine. I love you and I love it."

She chuckled and reached his face. She pressed her lips and admired his handsomeness.

"If you keep looking at me like that, I might not restrain myself. The chocolate is super-hot and breakfast is already served."

"Thank you." She sat up and held the satin sheet on her chest. He rubbed her flawless back. She's sexy as hell. He took the mug of hot chocolate and gave it to her. She smiled and held it with both of her hands.

"What do you want to do today?" Xavier asked as he took the big bowl of fried rice to feed her.

"Hmm, I don't know. What do you suggest?"

"Romantic movie." He said and moved his lips to her ear. "And more lovemaking. We haven't got to try all of the toys that I bought for you."

"Why did you buy it again?"

"Rhys suggested."

She chuckled.

"They are the kinky family. I mean, it's normal to have it. But it indeed pleased me more last night."

"Good gracious! Let's have a movie and first, I will ready the bath. I will also skip the workout today. You also need to. We'll just chill on a rainy day."

"Typhoon stops?" She asked.

"Yeah, it's leaving the city. Good thing that the electricity in our area didn't cut off. We are much safer here."

"So, when are you planning to repair the house?"

"Before we get married." He said with a wink.

"Are you serious?"

"No. I'll just keep you by my side as a sexy-tary." He joked. She punched his side lightly and he laughed. "Of course, I'll marry you. Although we've been apart for years, I will still marry you. Ever since that night you kiss me and put a spell on me so I wouldn't fall in love with anyone else ever again."

She laughed at him.

"I am not a witch."

"You are my Enchantress." He smirked.

"Where did you learn such a thing?"

"Books. I was bored during the summer by only reading science books and research. So, I read novels."

"Nice." She took the spoon and fed him. "You should eat a lot too and maintain your mental capacity. I mean, you are working as a psychiatrist and every person you spoke with can also affect you. It's a virus effect."

"I'm immune to it, baby. I will always be sane as long as you are with me." He pulled her close to him. He didn't know what to do if he lost her. And if such a thing happened, he would surely lose his sanity. It happened to him once when their connection was cut. He couldn't sleep at all. So, he promised to find her and talk to her again when he was deployed in the Philippines. He kept himself composed so he could explain everything to her. And here's the second chance. He won't let it slide again.

After their breakfast, they had a warm bath with petals of roses and vanilla essential oil. He scrubbed her back and her whole body. He knew that they would end up making love so he made sure that she would end up sleeping again. And it did work. But she kept herself awake to dry her hair. He's taking care of everything. Athena is his Goddess after all. He loves her dearly and so much.

"Do you want to sleep again?" He asked. He's done drying her hair and she went to bed to dust it and fixed the sheets.

"No." She sat down, leaned on the headboard, and patted her lap. "Lay your head here."

"Are you giving me a massage?" He asked.

"Yeah,"

He crawled over the bed and snuggled to her, giving her a hot kiss. Then, finally, he lay his hand over her lap. She put sanitizer on her hand first and next, she took the peppermint ointment and put an amount to fingertips, and massaged his face. He closed his eyes. This is the first time that someone has done this to him. Well, it's more like he takes care of his mom since she always gets depressed easily.

"Thank you, Athena." He mumbled.

"Your secretary said that you keep having a headache and so, you always take Paracetamol."

"Yeah, it's the documents."

"Lots of patients?" She asked.

"Yes."

"You can talk to me about that."

"I can't say anything." He mumbled. "But I trust you."

"It's okay. At least this one will help you."

"You are my medicine." He mumbled with closed eyes. Athena smiled at what he said. She loves him too but she rather showed it than said it.

Xavier fell asleep in her lap at that time. She admired his handsome face as the television is playing a movie in a low sound. After a while, he moved to her side and snuggled to her. She finally stretched her numb legs and lay beside him.

It's a rainy day. A depressing, cold day. But what makes it great is it's cold and she has someone to cuddle with. It wasn't depressing anymore. The cold weather became something that would keep a lover close.

"Athena?"

"Hmm?"

"Let's go to your house when the weather is good. I think your parents missed you."

"Sure." She hugged him tightly.

"When we get engaged, I'll tell my mom to fly here so you could meet her."

She chuckled.

"You are serious about marriage?"

"Yeah, when do you want us to get married?"

"I'll tell you when I'm ready for it. There are so many things going on."

"Okay." He had more time to buy the ring that he's been eyeing. It'll be a hundred percent diamond and it's rare too. Zendaya told him about it and when he saw it, he fell in love with the ring already like the first time that he saw her.

Athena turned off the television and they listened to the strong wind outside. He gently caressed her hair and shoved his nose to it.

"Athena, what kind of thing did you suffer in that mission?"

"Well, I try to survive for days. They've been hunting me until I finish them off."

"That's why you looked so thin?"

"I have to protect you too, Xavier." She kissed his chest. "My mission is bad. My mom is the only one who trusts me with it and also the crew. So, we have to go through it for days… but I survive for my family and you."

"I don't want you to go through it ever again." He held the back of her head and hugged her possessively.

Athena closed her eyes hard as she remembered how one of the A-List Agents nearly died. But because of Cyra's invention, he was saved. She didn't know how to face his parents anymore. His parents are their friends and family too. Kei, her Uncle Jason's son, is a great agent.

"I don't know how to face his parents if I lose them in that mission. It's supposedly just taking the stolen file but it made us starve and sleepless for days. They are stronger than we thought. Somehow, all these years, they gathered up and became strong out of our track."

"I'm sorry, Athena. But I promise to help you and stay here by your side, always."

"Keep that promise." She looked up at him and kissed his lips.
