She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 341 - HIS COMFORT ZONE

The two of them took a dip in the pool but after quarter an hour, they decided to take a rest. Stefan had been driving for few hours and Cayenne knew he must be tired.

Cayenne walked towards Chris and Rissy who were talking at the cottage while looking after the kids. "Teacher Chan, if the food won't suffice for dinner, you guys can cook in the kitchen. There are many ingredients inside fridge that you can use. If you also want to buy something else, there's a market one kilometer from here. You can go and buy some groceries there."

"Thank you, Mrs. Dumrique. We owe you so much for this trip."

"No. Not at all. I want my brother to enjoy this short vacation and this is my 'thank you' to you for taking care of him as well." She smiled faintly towards Rissy and looked towards Chris who looked away to hide his blush. "Well, then. I won't be taking so much of your time." Cayenne turned around and left to talk to the bodyguards.

"Young madam, do you need anything?" one of the bodyguards asked when he saw Cayenne approaching him.

"Nothing. I just want to say that Stefan and I will be resting for a while. You and your team and enjoy the beach and the pool as well. You don't have to be so stiff and strict but please don't forget to look after the kids from time to time. In any case, they're all responsible adults."

"Yes, young madam."

"Alright. Just let Chris know if you need anything else." Cayenne left and went to her husband who was sitting on a chaise lounge. "I've done everything. Let's go back to our room."

Stefan rose to his feet and took his wife's hand. The two of them walked back inside the house under everyone's envious and teasing gaze.

"Babe, are we really going to sleep?" Stefan asked as they walked back to their room. He was swinging their intertwined fingers between them while looking at her beautiful face.

Cayenne nodded her head. "I will knock you out if you won't sleep by yourself."

"Can you knock me out?"

"Of course." Cayenne answered confidently but she knows she couldn't really do it. "Fine. Kidding aside, let's just watch a boring movie until you fall asleep."

"Hon, if you make me sleep this afternoon, I will have lots of energy tonight. Can you handle me at night?"

She knows exactly what he meant and she couldn't stop herself from rolling her eyes at him. "I have lots of ways to deal with you. If you don't want to take a rest now, it's fine. I'll just rest on my own. I felt tired from swimming."

Of course, Stefan couldn't allow that to happen. If she's sleeping, he must be right beside her. The two of them took a shower together without doing any extracurricular activity. After drying their hair and changing into their sleeping clothes, the two of them laid on their bed.

Stefan hugged Cayenne and buried his face on her chest, inhaling her sweet scent that he likes so much. Cayenne was stroking his head and ran her fingers through his hair. It was soothing and calming. So, even though he told her that she didn't want to sleep, in the end, he still fell asleep faster than Cayenne.

When she noticed that his breathing was even and calm, Cayenne smiled and kissed the top of his head. "Have a good sleep sweetheart." She whispered even though Stefan couldn't hear it.

After few minutes, Cayenne fell asleep as well while hugging her husband. The two of them slept comfortably without any worries. They could finally put their guards down because Arthur was no longer around. They were back to their peaceful life.

Around seven in the evening, Cayenne woke up first but she didn't turn on the light. The large windows were open the lights outside was illuminating the place for them. It was a very beautiful evening.

She looked at the man beside him who was still asleep, clinging to her like a child. They were each other's comfort and having a clingy Stefan was no longer new to her.

Cayenne kissed his cheek and chuckled. "Look at you telling me you won't sleep but now you're sleeping like a log." Cayenne mumbled while caressing his face. "You must be really tired."

She just stayed in bed with him hugging her while she stared at the ceiling over them. She didn't make any noise or move, just letting him continue to sleep.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!'

It was her phone. She picked it up from her bedside drawer and opened to see the message. "Sis, what do you want for dinner? We ate all the food that you brought earlier and there's nothing left for you. I can cook dinner for you and brother-in-law instead." It was a message from Luiz.

"There's no need. It will be cold if you cook now since he's still asleep. You can just have fun with your classmates. We'll cook our own dinner later. If you guys want some snacks, you know where to find them already." Cayenne told her brother through her reply.

Luiz just replied shortly with two words, "I understand."

In the kitchen, Clarisse and Luiz was standing at the counter. "So, are we cooking for them?" she asked Luiz while feeling lost and guilty. She ate too many shrimps and crabs earlier and she only found out later that those were Cayenne's favorite. She felt very guilty about it.

"My brother-in-law is still sleeping. They will cook their own food if they go hungry. Let's just go back and have fun with everyone."

"O-okay."

"Don't worry about it. We all ate the food and my sister isn't so petty to think so much about losing those shrimps and crabs. Cheer up!"

Clarisse nodded her head and smiled faintly while following Luiz back to the swimming pool where everyone was gathered around, chatting and playing – just having pure fun.
