She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 120 - OPENING OF GIFTS III

In fact, it was a couple set with a watch but last week, it was announced that the last set was bought by two different people. The bracelet was bought online and the watch was bought in a physical store. You can also carve a name on the back of the watch.

Cayenne wore the bracelet that Stefan gave here. There's only S & C written on the bar with small carved hearts on each side. "Thank you." Cayenne smiled and kissed his cheek. It was truly a surprise for Stefan but he didn't say anything. He was just happy that she likes his gift.

She also received a nice skirt and blouse from Luna and Ali gave her a pair of sandals. To them, Cayenne was more than a friend. She's like a family to them and she also helped them whenever she has time.

Stefan received a fountain pen from Luiz and Kyle. Cayenne's mother gave him a black shirt as well.

"Where's my gift?" Stefan whispered to her.

Everyone was also waiting for Cayenne to bring out her gift for Stefan as well.

"Uh. This is really embarrassing." Cayenne muttered while giving them an awkward smile. "I…can…can I give the gift later?"

"Why not now?" Stefan questioned.

"Correct. Why not?" Luna added as well. She really wanted to know what her best friend has prepared for their boss.

"Just take it out." Her mother also mentioned.

"I don't care if it's not expensive." Stefan looked at her while squeezing her smile gently.

The price wasn't really bothering Cayenne. It's just that, she didn't expect things would unfold like this. Since the hospital bill was paid by someone, and she also saved from working with Stefan, she was able to buy something worthy of his standing. The problem was the style.

With a face as red as an apple from embarrassment, she went inside her room to get the small box that contains her gifts. When she came out, everyone was looking at the box in her hand.

"Can you not look at my gift?" She asked them but no one agreed. "Fine. It's nothing special anyway." She handed Stefan the black box she was holding. "Merry Christmas."

Stefan grinned at her while receiving the gift. She wanted to leave and go out for a while but Stefan took hold of her hand and pulled her to sit beside him. "Stay here with me." He untied the red ribbon and opened the box. To everyone's surprise, what was sitting inside the box was the watch which was match to the bracelet that Cayenne was wearing.

The strap was made of red threads and there's a gold lining on the rim of the round watch. There's also a gold plate at the back of the watch where you can engrave something. When Stefan looked at it, he found Cayenne's name carved on it.

"I didn't know you'd become possessive." Stefan commented. And to think the gift was bought even before they decided to go on a date.

"Did you know that the watch and the bracelet is a set called red string of fate?" Luna questioned the two of them. "Did you guys buy these items together?"

"How's that possible?" responded with a sly grin on his lips. "I bought this item online."

"I didn't even know there's a meaning to this watch." Cayenne mumbled. "It was meant to be a remembrance."

"I believe you." Stefan caressed her hand. "Can you put it on me?"

"O-okay." Cayenne took the watch from him and put it on his left wrist. "Do you like it?"

"I love it. Thanks." Stefan pulled her close and kissed her forehead, disregarding the pairs of eyes that were watching them. He wasn't doing anything beyond the line anyway.

After opening their gifts, they played two more games before they decided to rest the night away. Luna and Ali went home around 3 o'clock in the morning. Cayenne and Kyle cleaned the mess in their house and they let Luiz and their mother rest first. Stefan was told to rest but he didn't want to since Cayenne was still busy.

In the end, he helped her wash the dishes and clean the kitchen while Kyle cleaned the living room.

"Yen, I'm done cleaning the living room. Is it fine if I leave the rest to you?" Kyle informed his sister.

"Sure. You can go ahead and rest." Cayenne was currently wiping the plates when she responded to her brother. Stefan was beside her, wiping the bowls and glasses.

"Good night." Kyle stated as he walked back to the room where he and Luiz stayed.

"Night. Night." Cayenne responded.

"Good night." Stefan mumbled in response.

After almost fifteen minutes, they also finished cleaning the kitchen and went to her room. Cayenne hadn't taken a shower since she came back from the province and she was so tired already.

"Go and take a quick shower." Stefan told her.

"Hn." Cayenne took a clean towel and opened her drawer to get a change of clothes. After taking a shower, she changed into a shirt and a drawstring pants. "Do you want to take a shower? I can borrow clothes from my Kyle?"

"Is that alright?"

"Hn. Wait a minute." She went out of her room and knocked on her brother's room to borrow some change of clothes that can fit Stefan. Kyle had oversized shirts so it wasn't a problem and he's got drawstring pants and unused boxers, too. When Cayenne, returned to her room, Stefan was already inside the bathroom.

"Oh god! How am I supposed to give this to him?" Cayenne couldn't help but cry with no tears from helplessness.
