She's My Sleeping Pill

At three in the afternoon, Cayenne, together with Stefan and her family, they left the house together with several guards. Those who didn't come along during the school trip and had to stay at home to guard the house, were now able to go for a trip. And it's all paid by Stefan, basically, Cayenne was the one who paid for their expenses.

Erwin was left at home this time. He needed to take care of the house and the people who were left along with them. He was reminded to take care of their future guest as well. And then again, he forgot to ask who it would be.

This family trip included Stefan's family so, they stopped by Peach Wood Subdivision to pick them up. In that way, they won't have to use many cars. Sadly, Chris couldn't come this time because he was busy holding up the company for Stefan and busy with his own love life as well.

Only Cayenne and Stefan have passports as well as the guards, the other members of their family didn't have one so, Cayenne chose not to leave the country this time.

They weren't just going to the beach this time but they will go to natural hot springs and falls as well. She searched this place together with Kyle and Luiz and it was said that the hot springs were good for the health of older people. Cayenne didn't know why is that so but since they're coming with Stefan's grandmother and grandfather, this trip would be something that they'd be able to enjoy.

The resort she chose was something with entertainment facility as well. Just in case they'd get tired of swimming and wanted to spend more time in the hotel, they'd be able to able to play some games for entertainment.

"You've put so much thought into this." Stefan commented when he saw his wife flipping her small notebooks which contains the list of activities she had in mind.

Cayenne snuggled closer to him and leaned her head on his chest. "I want us to enjoy this trip as much as we can because once we go back home, I am pretty sure that we will become very busy. The kids will be starting their work. Uncle Stan will be working. I will be having an advance class to do some refreshers for my class. You will have to leave for States and –"

"Huh? I will leave for States? When?" Stefan was really surprised at this and he couldn't stop himself from asking. "Why didn't I know about it?"

Cayenne was the one who frowned this time. "Didn't you make me translate those documents for your business proposal in States? How did you forget about it? I worked so hard for that and I checked the schedule it should be two weeks from now."

"Oh! That." Stefan covered his mouth and chuckled faintly. "I forgot to cross out the date from my schedule. I won't be going there anymore. I sent the soft copy to the company that I wanted to work with and they already gave me the approval. We will have an online conference meeting next week and once everything's finalize, that's when I leave to check the sight and discuss other matters personally."

"I see." Cayenne nodded her head and smiled.  "I'm glad to know about that." She kissed his cheek and read her notes once again.

After two hours of driving, they arrived at the shipping port where they will be taking a ship to go to the island that they will visit. She hadn't boarded a ship in her life so, she wanted to try it. They got out of their cars and only showed their IDs to the staff for boarding confirmation. The cars were also boarded via internal ramp for various system checks.

As for them, they didn't need ticket because it was the shipping line owned by the Dumrique family. Stefan just needed to give his approval for everything. His family owned international and domestic shipping lines which was now under his name after his grandfather gave it to him. If it were other people, they would be very happy getting the inheritance but Stefan wasn't happy at all. He only accepted it because it was his right to do and that he's blood related to them. But he didn't even like to manage it. Still, people were doing their job to manage the businesses for him.

As soon as they got inside the ship, the captain came to meet them and showed them where they'd be resting. It was like a small cruise ship but Stefan said it wasn't. It was just a normal ship which can carry up to fifty people, with small private room for resting and was a little expensive compared to the other ships which can carry hundreds of people and doesn't have private resting place.

"Next time, when we're not busy, let's go on a cruise?" he suggested to his wife who was already sprawling on their bed. "It'd be a nice experience."

"Sure. Let's do that next time." Cayenne responded while patting the space beside her. "Can you come and sit here." Stefan did as she asked and she placed her head on his lap while looking up at him. "Aren't you feeling worried or anxious?"

"About what?"

Cayenne bit her lower lip while fiddling with the button of her blouse. Her actions were really a distraction in Stefan's mind. "I'm not really sure but I get this feeling that we've been so happy lately and that everything's going well. It's the same feeling I got before Arthur came to attack me. It's like 'a calm before a storm'. Do you get what I mean?"

Stefan stiffened and immediately remembered something very important. Whenever he's together with her, he forgets a lot of things. Thankfully, she had this conversation with him. "Hon, I think I need to show you something. I was supposed to show this to you last night but I completely forgot."

"What is it?" Cayenne sat up and leaned on her shoulders instead. "It's not something about me again, right?"
