Chapter 63

Our kisses continued to deepen as we felt each other's body by caressing it with our hand. Jaxson's touch on my body is like a wood being thrown to the fire, making the sensation that I am feeling in my body rise up. His hand ran from my arms down to my chest. I felt my heart racing with its highest speed that very tender touch of his palm on mine. Slowly he moves as it makes space between our fingers and clutches my hand tightly.

When we felt tired, we both let go of our kisses as we pressed our foreheads together with both grins on our lips and exchanged breaths.

It took a few seconds before Jaxson slowly crawled his hand back to my chin and brushed his lips against mine very lightly and removed it in a fraction of seconds, teasing me to crave for his lips more. My hand motioned, returning it to the back of his head, caressing his hair as I kept an eye contact. I can see through his eyes the desire and obsession. I had my hands wrapped around him with my mouth hanging open, waiting for his soft and warm lips to touch mine again, as if craving for something that I really want.

Jaxson little by little pressed his lips against mine, but this time, very gently. I am feeling more amorous because of the rhythm because of how he is moving his lips very slowly. This is a whole new experience for me and I can't deny that I am loving it.

My hands began to roam in Jaxson's upper body as he did the same to me.

I feel like I am currently experiencing what real peace is.

This is better than I ever imagined. Is it giving me a different feeling after knowing that the man that is kissing me right now loves me? I don't know, really.

I am craving for making this last longer. I want the time to just stop and give us a whole night to spend being this close together, in our paradise.

I let go of our kisses when I am short of breath. I smiled at Jaxson before hugging him tightly which he quickly returned to me.

Even without the words, I know that right now, I am loved.

"I wish to have a whole long day to spend with you and just stay like this..." I softly whispered in his ear as I rest my head on his chest.

"Spending a whole day kissing seems fun, but it really is tiring you see."

I slapped his shoulder once again because of how silly he always thinks.

"I meant being this close to you and just having you together in a quiet place. I have never been so content before.” I said honestly as I giggled. "Come, the guests may be arriving and they also need help in the kitchen to distribute food for the guests. We're already done with the tables and its designs so the last part maybe is serving the food to the guests."

"You people are really this enthusiastic to welcome your guests? What are they? The presidents of each and different countries?” Jaxson complained again like a child who was forced by his mother to go with him.

"I know that right now, you don't really understand. But, the children's life here is very different from what you have. Or even from what I had when I was at their age. The orphanage has to please and thank the guests for them to continue contributing to this place. They need to raise money by inviting guests from organizations and companies, hoping for them to give donations just like what Manager Sol did earlier.” I explained calmly to Jaxson. "If wealthy people like you will know more about children like them, and the stories behind their adorable and innocent faces, I think you guys will understand how much they need your help to continue living a life that they deserve."

In my almost several years helping here at the orphanage, I feel like I didn't just recognize these children by their faces. But for their stories that they keep as well. At first glance, you might be thinking that they are just children that don't have a house to live in and a family to call it a home. But it's deeper than what it seems to be. And helping them made me understand the deeper meaning of the orphanage and how kind the sisters are to take care of the children, discipline them, and teach them life lessons that they can bring even after they grow old.

I always told myself that when I become rich I will build a big house and I will also make it an orphanage to receive children whose parents can no longer take care of them or those babies who have been abandoned by their families. I feel like it will complete the purpose of my life if I can do that. But, I am sadly not that wealthy enough to buy a big house that I can call my own.

It's also funny sometimes that most of the rich don't manage to look down to see the people who really need their help.

"Hello, Sister Glenda. How's it going today?" I greeted as I entered the kitchen where Sister Glenda was there and I think she was about to finish what she was cooking because she is already doing the plating.

"I was ecstatic when I heard that there will be more guests tonight than usual, but I didn't know that a princess would come." She said as she continued doing the plates.

"It's been so long, Sister Glenda, and you haven't aged a bit!" I said with a giggle. "And your food smells amazing as always."

"You are still the sweetest Cattleya that I used to know. The last time you came here, you weren't really in a good condition. I'm sorry about your father, Catt. I know he'll be happy to see you right now. Because, I heard that you brought us a husband tonight." She exclaimed, giving a noticeable stress in his words. "So, would you mind introducing me to your husband, now?"

I can't help but to laugh softly at the way she is obviously raising her tone.

"Jax, this is Sister Glenda. She is in charge of the orphanage's food catering.” I used my hand to gesture by pointing at him and bringing it to Sister Glenda. "Uh, this is Jaxson Madrigal, my husband." I smiled but something seemed to block the corner of my lips and I couldn't widen my smile.

Every time I introduce Jaxson as my husband it's still giving me the bizarre feeling that this man is my husband and I am his wife. Like, how great is that?

"You got a Madrigal husband?"

I was shocked by the tone of Sister Glenda's speech as well as the movement of her eyes from Jaxson's head down to his feet.

"It's a good thing, you already knew me. I'm Cattleya's husband." Jaxson said politely as he extended his hand to Sister Glenda to greet her.

"I know your family name of course. Who wouldn't know of the Madrigals, huh?"

I was kind of guilty because of what she said. Because apparently until this time Jaxson was proving to me that he is a famous personality and I had never even heard his name.

I helped Sister Glenda as she began to move the plates that had already been plated in their trays.

"Besides, you guys are all over this country. So how can someone really never hear of the Madrigals? Look at this Ruegold in this mayonnaise bottle, you see. Not only that you guys are on all over the soaps, the name of your company is also on almost every product in here.” Sister Glenda smiled at Jaxson as she raised the bottle of the mayonnaise to show the name on the back before pouring it in a salad.

Jaxson just showed her a short smile as he responded.

"-Could you guys help me serve this to the guests later?" Sister Glenda added. "We will be needing people as the kids will be busy performing for their own performance tonight."

"That's why we're here!" I exclaimed excitedly. "I actually miss serving guests, so I will gladly help, Sister Glenda." I said politely.

It's only been a few days since I stopped working at the nightclub, but it seems like a long time since then.

"There will be VIP guests which we have to serve very carefully and still classy. I am very sorry for pressuring you, but I hope that I can count on you. The guests in the orphanage this time are a big catch and we can't lose them so please do everything that will please our guests. We really appreciate your help.” Sister Glenda said with a smile on her lips but her concern was obvious.

I held Jaxson's hand to talk to him, his eyes shifted to me before it returned to Sister Glenda.

"We will do our best." Jaxson uttered which surprised me.

I looked at him in disbelief because of his determined face as he helped us put plates on the tray to be taken out later to serve.
