She's My Sleeping Pill

The travel on their way back to the vacation house was smooth and the students were happily chatting of their short trip to three different places. They shared which one they liked the most and which one they preferred to have a date in the future.

Meanwhile, inside Stefan's car, Luiz felt that the atmosphere was really weird. Stefan was smiling from ear to ear while his sister kept glaring at him or sometimes, she even slapped his arm as if warning him of something that only the two of them knew.

Clarisse was very silent as well. She's hugging the teddy bear that he gave to her while glancing at him from time to time. Nevertheless, Luiz didn't think much about it since everybody looked okay.

When they almost reached the vacation house, Stefan stopped in front of a convenience store to buy ice cream. And just as Cayenne guessed, they weren't coned ice cream but a one-liter tub ice cream, instead. He bought vanilla and strawberry flavor.

Stefan handed her the ice cream and he started the engine to continue driving. Luiz knew that his sister loves sweets so he didn't really question them buying ice creams even though they just finished eating. And if he remembered correctly, Cayenne also ate desserts earlier.

"Sis, don't eat too much sweet food. You know that it's not good for your health."

"Don't worry, Luiz. I always make sure that she exercises."

"Oh. That's good to know." Luiz responded softly and didn't say anything more. When he turned away his head, he didn't see Cayenne pinching Stefan's arm. Obviously, the exercise that he meant was a different thing compared to what others knew.

"Later, you can have a meeting with Chris. You can ask him for help and everything will be handled accordingly." Stefan told Luiz. It was a reminder to let them not disturb the couple later.

Cayenne didn't really know what to do with him anymore.

The moment they reached the vacation house, Stefan went to the kitchen and chilled the ice cream. "I'm going back to the room." Cayenne informed him just in case he'd be panic when he couldn't see her again. Stefan nodded his head in agreement since he knew where to find him.

As soon as she got inside their room, she opened the closet to check her clothes. When Stefan packed their things, he didn't know what he chose for her but she knew that he must have brought something unusual again. She checked her clothes one after another but she couldn't find anything wrong with them.

'Am I mistaken this time?' Cayenne thought to herself as she closed the closet. She didn't bother checking the suitcase at all. If she did, she would have known that not all of the items were taken out from the luggage, and the things she was looking for were still inside the luggage.

Since she couldn't find anything, she just sat on the couch facing the balcony to watch at the beautiful sea. There were birds flying above water while looking for small fishes to catch as their food. There were other people swimming from the neighboring resorts and rest houses. Others were jet skiing.

She opened her phone and logged into her social media account. Ever since people knew of her identity, her followers have increased but she didn't really post that much. Some were pictures posted by other people and she was just tagged on it with Stefan.

This time, she was choosing pictures to upload to her own social media account. There were lots of pictures in her gallery and she liked all of them. She was even having a hard time choosing which one to upload.

"Let's just pick three pictures." She muttered to herself. She picked one picture of them at the beach, another one at the mountain restaurant which was facing the volcano and another one at the amusement park. They didn't have pictures together at the secret garden because Stefan liked taking pictures of her alone in that place. In his opinion, a beautiful fairy belongs to beautiful flowers which was why he didn't join her in the pictures.

Cayenne uploaded the three photos she chose and placed one heart as her caption. She didn't have to say many words but one symbol alone can sum up everything that she felt.

She looked at her notifications and found many tags of her and Stefan. It turned out to be the pictures of her and Stefan that the students took secretly. There were many likes and comments already but Cayenne only gave them a heart without saying anything.

The door creaked open and Stefan came inside with two small bowls of ice cream and another bowl of mixed slices of fruits. "Why didn't you shower yet? Aren't you resting in the afternoon? I thought we'd go night swimming later when everyone's gone."

"Well, I thought we'd shower together." Cayenne responded unabashedly.

"So, you know what I have in mind?"

"I can only guess. At the end of the day, didn't I marry a shameless wolf?" Cayenne retorted his words.

Stefan chuckled while moving towards her. He kissed her lips but it was only a quick peck. He needed to change the windows to a tinted one since it's daytime.

He pressed the button below the light switch of the balcony before going back to her. "You can go to the shower first. I'll follow right after."

Cayenne narrowed her eyes at him but after few seconds, she still did what he said and went to the bathroom. Stefan immediately opened the suitcase and took out the things he needed. He placed them under his pillow and returned the suitcase to the closet.

"I don't think she guessed it right. Maybe half of her guess was right?" Stefan told himself before walking towards the bathroom. To his surprise, Cayenne locked the door. "Wifey, are you punishing me already when I haven't done anything yet?"

"It's better to be safe than sorry." Cayenne shouted from the bathroom, teasing him. "Now, why don't you have a taste of your own medicine. Hehe." She laughed wickedly while taking a bath on her own.
