She's My Sleeping Pill

In truth, the guards were still around but they made sure not to make any noise unless necessary and that made Cayenne think they weren’t around. How could they leave? Stefan would never risk her life again after what happened to her in the past.

“By the way, once your cramps subside and you can walk around without that throbbing pain, let’s go for a walk.” Stefan mentioned as he placed bacon and egg on her plate. “Let’s see if anything had changed from the last time we came here.”

“I can’t go on horse riding.”

“That’s fine. We can just look around.”

“Okay.”

She ate her food leisurely, inhaling the morning air and feeling the cold touch of the wind on her face. “I like the countryside compared to the city. It’s peaceful here and not polluted.”

.....

“We can always come here.”

“Let’s visit places like this more in the future.”

“Sure. I don’t mind. Wherever you go, I’ll always be with you.” Cayenne smiled happily at his words but Stefan noticed something. She hasn’t touched her food at all. “You don’t like to eat breakfast? Do you want something else?” Instead of answering, she opened her mouth with an ‘Ah’ sound. His stifled laughter escaped from his lips as he sliced the egg for her. “What’s with you now? It worries me that you are doing something you don’t usually do.”

“You told me to act spoiled from time to time. I’m just taking this opportunity now since there’s just the two of us here.”

“I understand now. My wife can only act spoil in front of me.”

“Luiz will probably make silly remarks if he sees me acting like this. I can’t show this side of me to him.”

“That’s fine. They’ll get used to it. You can be spoiled at home.”

“I might take you up on that offer.”

“Why not?”

“I’m not thick-skinned.” Cayenne retorted and opened her mouth to welcome the food he was giving her. She slowly chewed her food while taking her fork and feeding him with bacon as well. “I’ll spoil you, too.”

Stefan ate the food she gave and the two of them laughed like children acting all silly and naughty. And with that, they ate breakfast with one feeding the other.

If anyone’s watching them, they’d surely feel jealous or maybe upset to the universe; especially the singles.

A healthy relationship can be obtained when lovers know how to be contented and understand their partner. Adding the loyalty and trust to their recipe, love will never fade between them. Communication is very important as well. You have to speak up when you thought of something and learn to listen when someone is talking.

If you are single, look for someone who cares for their family. Someone responsible and kind. Because these types of people will surely treat you with respect and care. They would never let you and your family suffer.

If you are in a relationship, take care of your partner. Look at the good traits that your lover has and make up for the traits that he lacks. Nobody is perfect. One can make mistake.

However, do take note; one mistake can be an accident but if it happens again and again, you have to think twice if that relationship is healthy for you.

Stop feeling jealous for someone else’s relationship. You can have yours. You work on it. We have different life and love stories. The sweetness of other people could have been born from so many trials or from fear of losing them.

Also, there’s no perfect relationship. Lovers will fight. Lovers will ignore each other. Lovers will put distance between themselves. Many things can happen. It only depends on you as to how you can work on it. And just because you have a lover doesn’t mean you have to forget about yourself and the people around you. Remember, when things turn bad, you only have yourself to depend on and you will surely need advice from those people around you.

Just like Stefan and Cayenne, what he lacked and missed, she tries her best to make up for it. What Cayenne didn’t have; he provides it for her. They filled the gaps in between to make a complete line that will connect both of them.

When this couple finished their breakfast, Cayenne took a short warm shower. She can’t bath for too long with her period. Although it was clinically mentioned that taking a bath during menstruation is fine, Cayenne still thinks that it’s not good to stay in the shower for too long.

When she got out, she saw the clothes that Stefan laid on the bed for her to wear. Not only were they familiar, they were exactly the same clothes that she wore last year when they visited this vacation house.

“Are we reliving that moment?” Cayenne questioned while picking up the denim shorts. ‘I haven’t really gotten any bigger.’ She thought because the same short can still fit her.

“Only the happy moments. I don’t wish to go through the horrible scenes.” Stefan replied while walking to the bathroom. “We’ll just celebrate our first year together.”

“By visiting to the place that we visited before?”

“Uh huh.”

“Alright.”

Cayenne looked for her underwear and her pads. Seeing them on Stefan’s bag, she couldn’t stop herself from wondering how he got the confidence to carry them. Other men would always hesitate buying napkins for their girlfriends or wife. She still couldn’t believe how easy it was for him to accept doing this thing.

‘I probably saved the world in my last life for me to have a great man like him this time. I wish I’d also meet him in my next life. I just want to fall in love with him over and over again.’
