She's My Sleeping Pill

Outside the room, he saw Martin and three other bodyguards guarding the door. “Where are the others?”

Martin bowed in front of Stefan before he spoke. “They are currently looking after madam’s prepared dinner for you.”

Stefan only made an ‘oh’ sound before pressing his finger on the biometric reader and when he came inside, he found Cayenne reading a book on the couch. “Hi, love. I thought you have forgotten my birthday,” he said as he placed the bag beside her. “I was really upset.”

“How can that be? I was just really busy with school stuff and other things but I have prepared something for your birthday.”

“Are we staying here after dinner?”

“I don’t mind. Are you planning to do something evil?”

“Something evil? Hmm, probably. I think you will enjoy it as well.”

Cayenne just laughed at his response because she could tell what was running in his mind already. She wasn’t sure if he would be able to do what he planned, though. “What did you have for me?” She asked after returning the book under the coffee table.

.....

“Check it out.”

Cayenne opened the bag and when she saw the clothes inside, she burst out laughing. He was so right on the spot with the clothes he chose. She didn’t even tell him what kind of dinner and where they would have it, it could inside the restaurant or outside but the dress that Stefan brought was something that matches his birthday theme.

He chose a gold dress for her with an off-shoulder design which exposes his fair and sexy collarbone. Even though she was pregnant, when she put it on, she still looked stunning and elegant. “I chose it so we can hide your flipflops.” Stefan expressed which made Cayenne smile. Indeed, he brought a pair of transparent flip flops.

“This is the first time I’ve seen someone wearing flip flops while having dinner in elegant dress with her husband and it’s me.”

Stefan crossed his arms over his chest and snorted. “Who cares? I’d rather have you safe in my arms. You could slip on the floor or tire your feet from wearing high heels just to match that dress.”

“I don’t really mind. I don’t like wearing high heels as well. It hurts my feet.”

“I know. Anyway, the dress will cover your flip flops.”

Cayenne just smiled meaningfully which didn’t escape Stefan’s keen observation but he didn’t dwell on that since he would be having dinner with her anyway.

“Let me do your hair.” Stefan said and quickly looked for her comb and hair accessories. He combed her hair slowly, making sure that he won’t hurt her scalp as he untangled some of her hair. “I’ll braid your hair.”

“Your call.”

“Okay.”

Stefan decided to braid her hair from the side of her left ear to the back of her head and ended it mid-length on the other side while leaving the rest of her hair fall to her chest. He remembered it was called cross long hair braid which he found in the internet. He may not be a hairdresser but he’s Cayenne’s personal hairstylist every day. If you get the chance to check his browsing history, you would find how much time he spends to watch different hairstyles for women with long hair.

He placed trinkets of hair accessories on her hair to give it a little extra life and when Cayenne stood up in front of the mirror, she was awed at how much Stefan progressed in making her look beautiful every single day of her life.

“I love it.”

“I love you.” She was stunned at his response but it only lasted for a mere second before she leaned over to give him a kiss. “Just put a little make up on your face. It’s not good for your skin to always wear cosmetics.”

“Got it.”

Half an hour later, both of them finally went out of the room and found that the elevator has been remotely controlled from the security room to wait for them. Stefan got inside and Cayenne handed him a handkerchief. “Put this on first.”

“It feels like I’m a woman getting a surprise from her boyfriend.”

“A man deserves something romantic, too. I didn’t prepare a bouquet, though.”

“Then, you’ve got teddy bear for me?”

“No.”

“Isn’t that the norm or is just me thinking that way?”

“Just put on your blind fold. We won’t be moving up without you putting that.”

“Fine. Fine.”

Stefan followed her instruction and blindfolded himself with the handkerchief she gave. To make sure that he wasn’t cheating on this surprise, Cayenne searched for a scary picture on her phone and placed it in front of Stefan. Seeing that there was no reaction from him, she giggled and signaled Martin that everything was good.

The lift finally closed and they slowly go up to the roof top while he was blindfolded. Cayenne was making sure that he wouldn’t trip by counting the steps close to him. She led him to where the entrance was and the guests inside were quiet. Talk about good cooperation.

The volume of the speakers was turned zero and no one spoke while they watched Stefan coming closer to the venue. They were all excited to see his reaction.

“At the count of three, you can remove your blindfold. One. Two. Three.”

Stefan pulled the handkerchief up and before he could even see the place properly, the loud birthday song coming from the speakers turned him to a statue. He was rooted on the ground from the surprise. Then, he saw the color combination of his birthday theme and he automatically looked at his wife.

[Talk about fate. God really made you for me.]
