She's My Sleeping Pill

Stefan left in a hurry because he wanted to get to the restaurant. He didn't want his wife to arrive first before him and had to wait. It would be better if he waits for her.

He looked for a flower shop first and bought a bouquet of pink roses. He wanted to give her tulips but it was sold out already and most flower shops were close already and there wasn't much time left.

"I hope she will still like this." Stefan muttered before getting inside his car to continue driving to City B. Since he was nearer to the place and knew a short cut to avoid traffic jam, Stefan get there within thirty minutes.

He fixed his tie and his suit, checked his hair and face in the mirror and sprayed his perfume a little. After making sure that everything's alright, he got out of his car and went inside the restaurant.

A handsome man like him will surely get the attention of most women and to top it all, he was Stefan Dumrique, who's known throughout the city. Bringing a bouquet of flowers, surely, he's on a date but he still needs to wait for his wife.

Fifteen minutes later, Cayenne arrived to the restaurant's vicinity and turned off the pen. She placed it inside her bag before getting inside the restaurant.

"Good evening, ma'am. Do you have any reservation?" the waitress greeted and asked while leading Cayenne inside.

"Yes, I have. It's with Mr. Dumrique."

"This way please." The waitress led her to the second floor where the VIP tables were placed.

Cayenne looked around the surrounding and nodded her head in internal agreement. She could understand why many celebrities like the place and why it has amazing reviews.

Faria restaurant was named after the daughter of the owner of the restaurant. It was a magnificent place with lush of bamboo trees surrounding it. There were many lights littered around to give off an enchanting aura for diners. The tables and chairs were made of woods and most of the furniture or decorations were made of woods. It was a combination of modern and antique style.

From the second floor, you can see the surroundings better. The artificial sakura trees were blooming to its fullest as it was gazing to the faint light of the moon. The bamboos were swaying from left to right, bending over but not breaking. There was a fish pond with many koi fishes swimming, flaunting their beautiful scales to the diners.

There was a faint sound of flute coming off from the speakers around the place and the you could feel that you're from an aristocrat, listening to a flute during the late dynasty of China. It feels really amazing.

When she arrived at the reserved table, her eyes instantly lit up when she saw her husband. A picturesque background and a handsome man with beautiful flowers in hand – truly an amazing piece.

Cayenne took out her phone and took a quick snapshot before putting it back inside her bag.

"I'm glad you've arrived safely." Stefan pulled her close and kissed her face. "I saw you taking picture of me." He whispered which made Cayenne smile. "

"I wasn't really taking it secretly. I'll show it to you later. Have you been waiting too long?"

"Nope. I just got here." Even though he arrived fifteen minutes earlier than her, he didn't tell her about it. "Flowers for you. I couldn't find any tulips for you so, I thought of getting this bouquet of pink roses."

"Thank you." Cayenne accepted it happily but she suddenly frowned. 'Hold up!' she told herself internally. 'Is there any special occasion today?' she racked her brain to think carefully but she couldn't remember anything special that should be celebrated with a fine dining experience plus a bouquet of flowers.

In the end, she still decided to ask. "Why are you giving me flowers? Is there anything special that needs to be celebrated today?"

Stefan grinned seeing her anxious expression but he didn't tease her this time. "I'll give you flowers even if there's no occasion that needs to be celebrated."

Cayenne breathed a sigh of relief after knowing this fact and could finally smile in front of him once again. "I really thought there's something I forgot. Thankfully, I was wrong. How's your day, by the way?"

"It's dull. It's black and white without you."

"Don't be exaggerated." Cayenne chuckled while flipping through the pages of the menu. "Do you want me to order for you or do you want to order for us?"

"I can order for both of us this time."

"Okay." Cayenne put down the menu and watched her husband choose the dishes instead. 

"Why are you staring at me?" Stefan asked without looking at her. He was feeling conscious now that his wife was looking at him openly.

"Are you embarrassed?"

"Of course, not."

"Really?"

"What naughty thought do you have in mind?"

"Nothing." Cayenne said nothing but she didn't stop staring at him. "I missed you." She muttered softly, not intending for him to hear but Stefan just so-happen to look up to her and read the words from her lips.

The tips of his earlobe turned red and he was blushing.

'Eh? He's blushing?' Cayenne seemed to have found a new hobby and a way to tease him. At the same time, she's reluctant to tease him. If she does it, he might tease her back and she will surely lose her ground.

"What are you thinking?" Stefan leaned over and flicked her forehead. "If you don't want me to tease you back, don't start it."

"I'm not going to do it." Cayenne raised her left hand in surrender while she rubbed her forehead with the other. "I can't afford myself to tease you." She pouted her lips while looking at him and at the table between them. The menu was gone as well as the waitress who stood beside at the side of the table earlier. "You're done ordering our food?"

"When you were spacing out, I've ordered already."

Cayenne grinned before giving her a playful flying kiss. Seeing his flushed face, she really wanted to tease him more.
