She's My Sleeping Pill

The whole family ate their dinner while chatting about the short trip. Most of the time, it was Luiz doing the talking while the four of them listened. He also gave his father and brother a souvenir that he bought from Lipa.

He showed them many pictures that he took and told them the story behind the pictures. It was really a happy meal and somehow, Cayenne felt awake now.

After dinner, they went back to their room while Luiz stayed to help his father and brother to clean the kitchen and wash the dishes. He still wanted to spend more time with knowing how busy he'd be in the next several days once he gets the modeling job.

Cayenne and Stefan looked at the photo album once again and took a clear look of the pictures. There were so many of them and it was obviously taken carefully. Even though they were all candid, they were still beautiful and not blurry at all.

"Whoever took this picture has a good photography skill." Cayenne commented while flipping through the pages. Base on the dresses that she wore on the pictures, she can tell that they already started taking pictures of them from the day the arrived until the day that they needed to leave.

"They put so much effort in this little thing. I like people with this attitude. I just hope they would continue to do their best and not be complacent just because I'm helping them. The help I'm giving is nothing more than a support, a step for them to take a leap to their future. If they won't do their best, there's nothing more that I can do for them." Stefan stated while looking at the picture.

"They will be fine. I'm sure they will be fine." Cayenne told him. She turned her face to see him and kissed his cheek. "They will be fine because you chose to give them a support."

"I hope so."

They continued to look at the pictures and on the last two pages of the album, a family picture of four which consisted of Cayenne, Stefan, Luiz and Dominic, was placed on it. There was a note left on the side as well, wishing them good health and other things. The last picture was the one they took with all the students. They were all smiling happily while looking at the camera.

Once done looking at them, Cayenne placed the album inside her bedside drawer and laid down on the bed with her husband. She hugged him and pressed her face on his chest to inhale his scent. She felt drowsy once again.

She raised her head and kissed his chin. "Good night, hubby."

"Good night, love." Stefan kissed her forehead and closed his eyes as well, allowing themselves to be pulled deeper into sleep.

They felt at ease and relax with no worries in mind. Home is always the best place to return to and for them, home is being right next to each other inside their own bed, in their own abode.

The next day, Cayenne called Erwin to come and pick the three guys from Peach Wood. She wanted to let Jonas see her own house and stay there as well. On the other hand, Stefan called Dominic so that the three of them can meet up and make a surprise.

"Pa, you stay in my house these next few days and bring lots of clothes because we'll go on a trip as a family. Also, you should think of moving to my house because we'll probably give this house to another family." Cayenne told Jonas in the living room.

"Are you selling this house?" Kyle and Luiz asked in unison. It was such a nice place and it's a waste to sell them.

"I said 'give' not 'sell'. Stefan and I will talk about it but just be prepared and I will let you know when you can move to my place."

"O-okay. I don't really mind." Jonas answered. "Just give me a call."

"Okie dokie. Stefan and I will leave in an hour but Erwin will come as well to come and pick up the three of you."

"Sure. Sure."

Stefan finished talking to Dominic and looked towards Cayenne and his family. "We need to make a trip to City H since Dominic can't leave the place and it's quite far for him as well. We might stay a night over there."

"I see. How about this house?" Cayenne asked.

"We still need to wait for their reactions. I'm not sure how things will go but if in case they're willing to move back here, I want to give them this house."

"Alright. Shall we pack some clothes, then?"

"Just stay here with your family. I'll pack our clothes."

Cayenne leaned over and whispered to him, "No naughty items this time, okay?"

Stefan couldn't help but chuckle at her words. He wasn't actually planning to do anything knowing how tired she can be from all these trips they're making.

Jonas also left to pack some of his things in order to stay in Cayenne's house. Kyle also went with him to help his father. In the end, only Cayenne and Luiz was left in the living room.

"Yen, do you know Dominic's family situation?"

"I heard some but I don't know much. Do you know anything? You can tell it to me."

Luiz looked sad and helpless as he clasped his hands together before start telling what he knows. "His father was working in a company before and they were all fine. Later, the company got involved in some illegal activities and was close down. So, his father lost his job. He started applying for other companies but given the fact that he worked in an unethical company before, they were quite wary of him. In the end, he decided to work as a janitor just to make sure that they can continue to support their daily expenses. When we were in fifth grade, his mom left them with some other guy and until now, they didn't know where she went. She never came back. And then, his grandma got ill. She was sent in and out of the hospital and soon, his father's savings was all spent. They had nothing more so, Dominic started applying for scholarships."

Cayenne didn't know all about his. Dominic didn't tell her and Stefan about this. He told them that they're doing fine despite being poor. He was probably worried to ask them for help.

"Thanks, Luiz. I'll let Stefan know. Since you will all be staying together at home, don't open the gate to strangers, okay? Always consult Erwin if some visitors came. Also, don't leave the house with no bodyguards at all."

"Hn. I understood. You can count on us."

After half an hour, Stefan came out with a suitcase and another bag which contained their dirty clothes. "Let's drop by at the laundry shop later."

"Okay." She stood up from her seat and went towards Luiz to ruffle his hair. "We're leaving now. Tell Kyle and Papa that we've left."

"Yes. Be careful. Give us a message once you've arrived."
