She's My Sleeping Pill

Back in the vacation house, after an hour, the students finished eating their dinner. They were currently chatting happily in the living room while some of the students volunteered to wash the kitchenware they used. Some clean the dining area and the kitchen as well.

"Let's prepare the campfire. In that way, once teacher and sir Chris come back, they can just join us."

"Hn. That's a good idea."

The male students left to prepare the camp fire while the female students went to the pool and take another swim. They will be going back tomorrow so, they wanted to enjoy as much as they can.

Dominic was currently talking with Stefan and Cayenne about the surprise that they were planning for his family. "We cannot make grandma too, happy because she's ill. Her heart cannot take overwhelming emotions." Dominic told Stefan.

"Then, what should we do?" Cayenne questioned in worry.

"Do you think they will recognize me?" Stefan asked his concern. After all, they were quite old already.

Dominic nodded his head at first then the shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not sure if she will recognize you because her eyesight has become so bad over the years but grandpa will surely recognize you since he still got good vision."

Stefan just nodded his head in understanding. He really wanted to see them.

"Let's not think too much about this for now. Let's go outside and have fun with the others. Ideas will just come to us naturally." Cayenne pulled her husband and Dominic to stand up. "You have fun with your classmates for now." She told Dominic before pulling Stefan outside. The two of them went to the beach but they didn't swim. They walked along the shore, listening to the sound of the rolling waves and feeling the salty breeze on their skin.

"I'm nervous and anxious to meet them." Stefan told Cayenne as they walk.

"Aren't you going to inform your father about this?"

"Should I?"

"I'm not sure but I think he deserves to know but given that he treated your mother as a mistress and even told your grandparents about it, I don't think they'd be happy to see them. Having treated their daughter as his mistress brought shame to them and for sure, they hated him for doing so."

"I also have the same thought. If we have a daughter in the future and she's being cheated and treated as a mistress, I will kill the man for sure."

"That's not going to happen." Cayenne told him. Her stifled laughter made him raise his eyebrow. "I just knew it's not going to happen. No one will foolishly take our daughter as his mistress and make you kill that person."

Stefan also smiled at her words. She's very confident in it. "Anyway, I won't tell my father. In any case, they're not his family but mine. He didn't marry my mother so he has no obligation to them. On the other hand, they're blood related to me and I am their first grandson."

"I agree."

The two of them continued to walk until they reached the end of his property before retracing their steps to go back to where the students stayed.

Clarisse and Luiz were currently sitting on a hammock, watching the sea in front of them. The lights coming from the house illuminated the place which looked really beautiful.

"Riz, I know you like me and I like you, too. I really like you. However, we have priorities. You have to become a doctor or your father will force you to take the path he wants for you. I also have to prioritize my study in order to become successful and help our family in the future. My concern is, do you want to be in relationship with me or do you want to wait for few more years?"

"Can you wait for me?"

"Of course. I'll wait for you until you're ready to be in relationship with me.  And if you find someone else who you think suits you better, you can definitely tell me to back off as well."

"I won't find anyone else." Clarisse replied. "I don't need anyone else."

"I won't find anyone else, too." Luiz held her hand and kissed the back of it. "Let's both do our best. I will become a great engineer and you will become the best doctor."

"Hn. Let's do our best." Clarisse smiled happily.

They're not official couple but they have a tacit understanding that no one else was fated for them and they wouldn't want anyone else either. Their priority was still their dream and education. Instead of becoming a distraction to their studies, they chose to support each other instead.

Soon, the campfire was set and there were several students sitting around it already. It was warm around the campfire and the students were happily chatting with each other. Some were taking pictures together and uploaded it in their social media accounts.

Cayenne has never experienced this kind of trip when she was a student but now with Stefan, she experienced a lot of things. She's getting used to this kind of events already but the only thing she wasn't used to up until now was discovering new properties that her husband owns.

"When do you plan to take me to see your other properties?" Cayenne asked Stefan about it since he was planning to take her to another trip with just the two of them. "How about we just look into them through the internet? You wanted me to study again and you have works to do. Let's just postpone this trip and focus on your work. And speaking of work, I still have three more pages to translate from the documents that you gave me."

"We'll go with whatever you have in mind."

"Why won't you say these words when we're in bed?"

"Because I know you have no experience in that area. Might as well make me take the lead and we'll both enjoy it."

Cayenne glared at him and let go of his hands. "Mr. Dumrique, don't remind me that you had several women before me."

"Sorry. Sorry. It wasn't on purpose."

"Hmp!" Cayenne stomped on his foot lightly and walked away. Stefan was chasing after her with wide grin on his face.
