She's My Sleeping Pill

“Hubby, aren’t you happy?”

“Happy that you are suffering now?”

Cayenne pouted her lips but hugged him even tighter instead. “What can I do? This is just how my body is. If we can have a bab- ”

“Stop right there.” Stefan interrupted knowing where this conversation was heading to. “You are strong. I know you can make it through. I may not know what it’s like to have period cramps but I know you can do this. Having a baby just so you could escape from this isn’t the right solution.”

“You won’t really give in to me when it comes to this topic, huh?”

“That’s because I’m thinking what’s best for you at the moment. Babies? We can have lots of them in the future. Just give it time.”

.....

She knew she won’t win him against this matter so, Cayenne just bit his chin which Stefan didn’t complain at all. “Come to think of it, this place looks familiar. I just didn’t get the chance to look properly last night.”

“It should be familiar to you.”

“We’ve been here before?”

“Uh huh.” The way he grinned at her spoke volume of his mischievousness but Cayenne didn’t have any idea what he could be thinking at this moment. The only thing she knew was that he was planning to do something again. She could only hope it’s not something lewd. After all, she found a husband who seems to be in heat all day when they’re together.

Stefan got up from bed and changed into simple clothes. He went to the bathroom to get a washcloth and soaked it with warm water he got from the shower. When he came back, he wiped Cayenne’s face with it.

“You are pampering me too much. I can do it myself.”

“What’s the matter with me pampering my wife? Isn’t that the job of a husband?”

“Most husbands don’t do that?”

“Well, I belong to the group who dotes on their wife. I will always place your well-being before mine.”

“I hope you apply that in bed, too.”

“That’s a different scenario. In bed, I have to make sure that my wife feels good when having – ”

“Okay. Okay. I get it. That’s that. And this is this. I won’t argue with that. Just don’t say the word.”

“What word? Sex? How come you still get embarrassed with this?”

“I’m not shameless like you.” Stefan grinned at her remark and kissed her lips when she wasn’t paying attention to him. “I have not brushed my teeth.”

“I have not done it either.”

The two of them talked and flirted first thing in the morning while Stefan wiped her face. Few minutes later, he went downstairs to cook breakfast for both of them and the moment he stepped outside, Cayenne took this chance to observe the place. Since Stefan said that they’ve visited this place, she naturally believed her words. There’s no need for him to lie to her.

“Where could this place be?” she asked herself as she went to the veranda and looked outside the place and that’s when memories started flooding her brain cells. “No way!” She gasped in embarrassment when she recalled what happened the first time that they visited this place.

She thought the place was familiar but wasn’t able to recognize it because she didn’t stay in the same room that she was staying at this moment. When she opened the door to confirm her doubts, the room across nailed what she had in mind. Currently, she was staying with Stefan in the same room that he used over a year ago. The room across his was the bedroom that she used when she first visited the place.

It was one of the most embarrassing moments of her life that she wanted to bury in the deepest corner of her mind. “Damn you, Stefan!” She yelled from the second floor and not long after, she heard Stefan’s laughter coming from the kitchen. “I’m not going out of this room. No! Never.”

“You have to enjoy the place.” Stefan yelled back from the kitchen and laughter followed his words. “You don’t have to be worried about what happened before.”

“It was embarrassing.”

“We’ve done more embarrassing things than that. Stop thinking about it.”

“Make me a dessert and I’ll forgive you.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Stefan responded as he brought a glass of warm milk for her. “Warm yourself with this first and please go back to bed.”

“My cramp isn’t that painful anymore.”

“Really?”

Seeing the smirk on his lips, Cayenne changed her mind and nodded her head. “I’m going to bed.” With the glass of milk, she hurriedly went back to bed and Stefan closed the door for her. ‘I’m being spoiled again. I’m getting spoiled.’ she looked down on her stomach and thought how he would act if they ever have kids. ‘Will he be like Travis? That guy is overprotective with his kids. Stefan is similar to him. Geez! Just thinking about it, I think I’m having a headache.’

However, only time will tell how her pregnancy would change Stefan. He might be similar to Travis at some point but when it comes to pampering his wife, he’s probably better than him. No one can really tell who’s better since both of them were slaves to their wife.

While making breakfast, Stefan took this chance to contact Elena. As soon as he returns to the city with Cayenne, he will have to leave for personal matter and the place was something he didn’t want her to see. After all, it was identical to the place where distrust between them ruined their relationship in the past. He could bring her to places where she can recall her embarrassing moments and tease her about it but he would never bring her to places where she can remember the pain that he caused her.

‘I should probably tell her about it even if she’s not coming with me.’
