She's My Sleeping Pill

“Hn.”

“Yen had been worried about you since she woke up earlier. She’s probably sulking right now. Just coax her. She will eventually forgive you.” Jonas was passing by him when he remembered something. “Have you eaten dinner?”

“No.”

Jonas smiled and nodded his head cunningly. “That makes it easier for you to get her out of the room. Give me a sec.”

Cayenne was sitting on the bed, pouting her lips in displeasure after knowing that Stefan didn’t really go to the company for work. It was really lucky for her that Elena and Tristan were fighting because the negative emotions affected Elena and made her say Tristan’s whereabouts. It helped Cayenne deduce what her husband was doing.

“Hmph! I’m not going to reconcile with you tonight. You have to reflect on your mistake until tomorrow night. No, it should be until the next day. Ha! You promised that you would not lie again but you did.”

.....

Although she was saying these words, she also got out of the bed and walked to the door. She wanted to check if he was still there. She glanced at herself on the mirror to check her expression and once she was sure that nothing would give her away, she opened the door a little.

Her jaw dropped to the ground when she didn’t see him there. She was infuriated even more. [He didn’t even last that long?! Am I not lovable anymore? Is he giving up that soon?] She loudly slammed the door, making sure that wherever he was, he would hear it.

Luiz and Kyle weren’t able to sleep because they kept their sister company earlier while waiting for Stefan. However, now that he’s home, they still couldn’t sleep because they think that a fight will ensue between their brother-in-law and their sister.

Feeling the vibration of the slammed door, Luiz was shaking his head in disbelief. “Shall we check and see if their doing fine? Sister is really hard to please when she gets angry.”

Kyle thought about it for a while but he decided to disagree. “Stefan left for sister’s sake. I think she will understand it. She’s just angry because he lied to her but once she understands the reason, she will eventually forgive him.”

Of course, Stefan heard the loud slamming of the door. He only smiled helplessly while making a glass of fruit juice for her. Jonas was heating up the food that he left for both of them. As soon as he was done, he placed them on a tray and gave it to Stefan. “Yen loves food. I placed extra sweets for her.”

“Thanks, Pa.”

Stefan carried the tray upstairs and knocked the door lightly to get his wife’s attention. “Wifey, let’s have a midnight meal.”

Cayenne didn’t really hear what Stefan said because of the soundproofing material in the room. His words came out muffled to her. “What do you want?” She questioned and glared fiercely at him.

“Let’s eat.”

“I’m not – ” she looked at the food and gulped because she realized she was hungry at the sight of them. “I’m not hungry.” she replied indignantly even though she really wanted to eat with him.

“But I can’t eat all of these sizzling pork sisig, grilled chickens, fried squid rings, and your beloved sweets.”

Cayenne pursed her lips, thinking to rebuke his words but her stomach growled loudly which made him chuckle. Even though she didn’t invite him inside their room, Stefan got in and placed the tray of food on the bedside table. “You need energy to lecture me. So, shall we eat?”

“I hate you!”

“Hn. I love you more.”

Right after closing the door, she pounced on him and hugged him tight. “I was so worried – afraid actually. I thought something has happened to you.” Her voice trembled and the next thing he felt was the hot tears falling on his skin. “If something happens to you? What should I do? I don’t want to be alone.”

Stefan rubbed his wife’s back and kissed the top of her head. Just as much as he worried for her, Cayenne also felt the same. She was afraid of being left alone just like him. They are very much the same.

It took him half an hour to coax her and for her to forgive him. After receiving the lecture which happened during meal, Stefan spent the rest of the time reassuring her. The dawn was already breaking when they finished another bout of love-making session. Cayenne used his mistake against him, guilt-tripping him to get him to release inside her but Stefan was cunning. When he was at his peak, he pulled out and poured everything outside.

This earned him a kick from her but he only laughed and kissed her face again and again.

What else can she do? It’s not like she can scoop them up and stuff them inside her. She can only look at it in disappointment.

“If we make a baby now, it won’t be too late to pair it with Jill’s baby.”

“No way! If we ever have a baby girl, I will never let her marry Raizel.”

“Why not? Travis and Jill would surely raise their children well.”

“Raizel would probably end up like him. No, never.”

Cayenne laughed at his crisp refusal with the idea of marrying their daughter to Raizel in the future. Of course, it’s not absolute that they will have a baby girl. At the same time, she was just joking. She promised not to be the type of mother who will force her ideals to her children.

“Before we talk about having children, how about you help me find a new secretary?” Stefan expressed with a sigh. “I might lose Elena because of Tristan.”

“Is their fight really serious this time?”

Stefan sighed deeply and while caressing her face with his thumb. “It must be really serious for her to divulge our whereabouts to you.”
