She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 501 - COLLABORATION I

Three days later, Friday has finally come and everyone was ready to leave the house. Since some of them still needed to attend their classes, they just brought the things with them in the car so that they can go directly to the villa after class. In that way, no one would suspect them in case the criminals were observing them.

Stefan was currently sitting on the backseat with his wife, letting the driver take them to her school. She was quiet once again and she kept looking back to their house with a sad expression.

"We're not leaving for good. You don't have to look so sad." Stefan stated while caressing the back of her hand that he was holding. "Nothing will happen at home."

"I hope so." Cayenne muttered and leaned over him. She needed to attend her one and only class very Friday morning and instead of going somewhere like last weekend, she decided to stay in the villa with her family. They needed each other during this time of their lives.

Not long after, Cayenne arrived in front of her school gate and was reluctant to leave her husband. She glanced at her wristwatch that read 7:35 AM which means she still have 25 minutes before her class starts. She sat on her husband's lap, wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Let me stay like this for few minutes." She muttered and closed her eyes. "I'm worried." She whispered to him which made Stefan felt bad for her.

"Trust me. Nothing bad will happen. Those children will be saved and our property will be alright."

"Hn." she just snuggled close to him and poked his face several times.

"Why are you poking my face?"

"I just want to know you're real."

Stefan pressed a button and a glass appeared as partition between them and the driver. Cayenne didn't notice this at all. He lifted her chin and make her look up to him and he leaned closer, claiming her lips with his. Their kiss heated up the atmosphere and Cayenne picked up his pace and adjusted her position, catering him with better angles.

Their tongues intertwined with each other, as if they were holding swords and were having a game of fencing. A sliver of saliva trailed down at the corner of Cayenne's lips and Stefan licked it off for her.

"Now, am I real enough?" Stefan asked with a sly smile on his lips. "If not, I have better things we can do."

"No way! We're inside the car and the guard is –" her words halted when she turned her head around and saw the tinted glass partition. "Eh? But it's still a no. I'm going off now."

"Wait." Stefan stopped her from going out and pulled her back on his lap. "You still have 15 minutes. You won't be late even if you go there 15 minutes later." Stefan kissed her once again, just couldn't get himself enough of her.

When Cayenne came to class, she met the professor in the hallway and they walked to the room together. In this way, she won't be late and she didn't have to run for her class.

"I can understand that you are a busy person but please try to be early next time, okay?"

"Yes, prof." Cayenne answered positively. She wouldn't be running late if she didn't let her husband kiss her but since she allowed it, she wouldn't blame Stefan at all.

She sat next to Noah with the usual one seat apart. She will always place her bag between them to prevent him from getting close to her. Even though they were partners, there was still this invisible distance between them. She took out her pen, pressed the recording button and placed the pen in front of her once again. In these two weeks since the class starts, everyone had been wondering why she always does that but except for Noah, no one really asked her.

Every single time they attend their classes, she would always put her pink pen in front of her and she won't take it until the class ends.

"Everyone, this activity that I have today will be done by group. I want you to form a group consisted of four members. Hurry up and form a group."

Most students looked towards Cayenne and Noah but she only smiled at them.

"Noah, let's form a group with your partner. It's convenient for us since we're sitting closer in every class." The woman who was sitting behind him suggested which stunned the other students. They were a lot slower than her in taking action.

Noah looked towards Cayenne and since she didn't refuse, he accepted their offer and teamed up with them. They formed a small circle facing each other and this time, the two girls felt a lot closer to Cayenne. They didn't really do anything out of bounds but they questioned her several times about her vlogs and about her siblings.

"Don't chit-chat yet. Listen to my instructions properly." The professor commented which caught the attention of the students. Cayenne made sure to note down the instructions because she's the type of student who doesn't like to ask for the instructions to be said over and over again.

After the instruction was said, they started doing their activity which was to identify the twenty medicinal herbs that can also be used as food.

"Yen, can I ask you a question?" one of the ladies asked while writing their names on the paper.

"Go ahead."

All three pairs of eyes were now focused on her and even the other students, who were sitting close to them, perked up their ears to listen to their conversation.

"This is not related to class actually but I hope you can answer us. Why do you always bring that pink pen?" she asked while pointing on the pen. "You don't use it to write and you don't allow anyone to borrow it either. Why?"

Cayenne knew that many people wanted to ask her this question but it was only until now that someone was brave enough to ask her. She picked up her pen and raised her eyebrow knowing that Stefan was watching her. "This is a very special pen. It's a gift from a friend which connects me and Stefan in some way. I don't want other people touching this and I don't want to use it either. It has a different purpose."

"Where did your friend buy it?"

"He made this himself." Cayenne answered with a nonchalant tone.

"Really? That's cool."

"Do you have any other question?" Cayenne asked but they shook their heads to say no.

On the other hand, Noah had this feeling that the pen wasn't that simple. He had been thinking what so special about it that might connect her to her husband. One thing that came to mind was that, it was a recorder or something that can be used to communicate. He didn't confirm it with Cayenne though and he didn't want to ask too many questions as well; afraid that she'd be annoyed and hate him.

The class continued and since Cayenne didn't like chit-chatting during class, they finished their activity earlier than everyone else. Thus; during the remaining time, they just talked about their hobbies and this time, Cayenne joined them enthusiastically. She also told shared some of her experiences without explaining to much that could make her sound arrogant.

Her other classmates also listened while doing their activities. Every single time she laughed, they would look at her and smile faintly. Her giggles and faint chuckles can really lighten someone's mood.

The time ticked so slow but Cayenne didn't feel bored and she enjoyed talking to her classmate a lot. When the class was over, she picked up her bag and stood up as soon as the professor left the room. She was in a hurry to leave and see Stefan but her wish wasn't about to come true.

Outside the classroom, Diana was leaning on the wall, waiting for Cayenne to come out. She had been wanting to see her but circumstances didn't give her that chance. This time, she decided to wait right in front of her classroom.

"Can we talk?"

Cayenne stopped on her track and even her classmates looked at Diana before looking back to her. "Yen, is this woman bothering?" One of her male classmates asked in a protective manner.

"Ah? No! She's not. We agree to see each other today. She's an acquaintance." Cayenne responded in a hurry. "I'll see you guys next week. Bye!" She waved her hand and smiled at them.

Her classmates just waved back and gave Diana one last look before leaving to do whatever they wanted to do.

"What do you want?"
