She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 176 - CAN'T GO BACK WITH HER WORDS

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Cayenne screamed as loud as she can while covering her mouth her with bathrobe. Her shout came out muffled so no one really heard it but she needed a way to release her emotions. She couldn't believe that she'd hastily agree to marrying him because of her insecurities. "For Pete's sake Cayenne! What have you done?!" She questioned angrily.

'Knock! Knock! Knock!'

She was startled by the knocks on her bathroom door so she opened the door immediately, only to find Stefan looking at her from head to toe. "You've been inside for almost 15 minutes and you aren't done yet? No, you haven't even started showering. Do you need my help?"

"No. No need. I'll be quick." She closed the door and started undressing herself. Even though she said that she'll be quick, she still ended up spending almost half an hour inside the bathroom because she often spaced out and she would only realize where she was when she's feeling cold from top to bottom.

When she got out, Stefan already prepared her clothes which matched the ones he was wearing. "I'll prepare breakfast." He walked towards the door but Cayenne stopped him.

"Stefan, about what I said last night –"

"Don't you dare back out from what you said, Ayen. I firmly believed in your words that you want to marry me."

"Ah?" she scratched the side of her face with an awkward laugh. "Who said I'm backing out? I've been looking forward to this marriage."

Stefan walked back towards her and hugged her waist. "I'm so happy with your decision." He kissed the top of her head and let go of her. "Go and dress yourself up."

"Wait." Cayenne stopped him once again. Stefan cocked his eyebrow to question her what it was this time. Cayenne swallowed drily before speaking. "Let's not tell my brothers or my mother about this yet. They will scold me for sure. Let's just tell her on her birthday or maybe after her birthday."

"Sure. I don't mind. Whatever your decision is, I will follow your lead."

"Thank you." Cayenne kissed the side of his cheek before he finally left the room. The moment she stepped out, she could only slap her face in dismay. Never in her wildest dream did she ever thought of getting married this way. And marrying Stefan Dumrique didn't even cross her mind before. Fate was really having fun with her.

She put on the white dress which was up to her knee in length. It was made of silk and the long sleeves were perfect fit for her arms. The V-neck was just right to show her chest and her sexy collarbone but it wasn't too much exposure. The round skirt was so beautiful with bright pearls of different sizes forming flowers to give accent to the dress.

"Where did he get this dress?" Cayenne asked. She just told him about getting married last night and there was a dress prepared for her already. It was just very timely and she could hardly believe it. "Well, whatever. It's here already. I've done this to myself so I won't chicken out on this."

She gathered up her courage and put on her white sandals that he also prepared for her. "He's well-prepared." Cayenne commented.

After wearing her dress, she picked a long coat from her drawer and wore it to cover up her white dress, just in case her mother and brothers would see her. Jasmine had arrived to their apartment and was currently having coffee while waiting for the clock to strike eight in the morning in order to wake up Emerald.

"You look exceptionally pretty today." Jasmine commented with her girly voice even though she's a he. "Are you guys going somewhere?"

"Hn. We will be meeting someone special." Cayenne replied while pouring a glass of water for herself. Stefan was currently making sandwiches for them. It was still very early and as far as she remembered during Monday and Wednesday, her brothers will start their day around nine in the morning. Therefore, it was just the three of them in the kitchen.

"Someone special." Jasmine uttered. "That someone special won't happen to be a priest, right?"

The water that Cayenne drank came up and went through her nose, choking her up. She coughed several times and Stefan rubbed her back to calm her. "Don't…don't joke." Cayenne replied. Her face was so red from coughing. "My goodness, I don't want to die from a glass of water."

Jasmine chuckled and handed her a tissue. "Sorry for kidding you."

"No worries. It…it was just so sudden." Cayenne responded. "But who knows, we might drop change our mind and get married today."

"If you do, don't forget to give us some wine." Jasmine winked at her. This girly man had no idea that he actually hit the right spot.

He drank the rest of his coffee and ate his sandwich and left the couple alone. The moment he was gone, Stefan hugged Cayenne and checked her face. "Are you alright? Is your nose still painful?"

"I'm fine. However, we need to get going as soon as we can or my family will wake up and see us."

"What's wrong with us being seen together?"

"Nothing." She whispered in response. "It's just that, Luiz has a very sharp observation and he might notice something."

"O-okay. Let's eat then."

The two of them ate their breakfast and drank their juice before going back to Cayenne's room. After making sure that she has everything as well as the necessary documents, they left the apartment. Stefan had his documents in Peach Wood Subdivision, so they still needed to make a trip there.

'We're finally getting married.' The two of them thought at the same time while keeping a sweet smile on their lips.
