She's My Sleeping Pill

Cayenne's class ended ten minutes before eleven. She thought that Stefan would be late but when she came out of the campus to wait for him, she saw his car not far from the gate.

Her smile bloomed instantly and she put away her phone that she took out to call him. She ran to his car and the bodyguards followed. One after another, they got inside their own services.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Cayenne asked the moment she got inside. 

"Nope. I just got here." Stefan responded. He leaned close to her and fastened the seatbelt for her. "How's your class?"

"It's nothing difficult." Cayenne said. "I learned some of the stuff when I was in first year and second year. It's a lot easier this time."

Stefan started the engine while nodding his head. "Do you have any clue of the things we're going to do?" Stefan asked while driving his car out of the school premise.

Cayenne thought of the things that Stefan has been doing but she didn't notice him planning for anything today. "Wait. The bag that you brought this morning, does it contain our clothes?"

"Bingo!" Stefan winked at her. "You're very observant."

"Well, you weren't really hiding the bag when you brought it out. So, where are we going? Will we be gone for several days?"

"Nope. I know you have some things to do tomorrow so, we can only stay out tonight."

"Yay! I can finally relax after doing so many things." Cayenne cheered happily but she had no idea that she wouldn't be able to relax that long. After all, it's Friday – the day that Stefan had been waiting for a long time.

Stefan booked a place for the two of them as well as for the bodyguards. It wasn't an extravagant place like where they used to go but the place was still beautiful and good for relaxation. It was a place called Tops. It's a resort built on a mountain which was an hour drive from the city. As you drive farther from the city, you can start to feel the changes. The air was fresher and it wasn't hot or humid.

Cayenne opened the window of their car and inhaled the fresh air. She could see the view of the city as they go up the mountain and she thought it's beautiful.

Around noon, they arrived at the place and has confirmed his booking. He got the keys for everyone and asked one of the staffs to show them the way. There wasn't any hotel that you can see in the place but there were many bungalow houses where people can stay.

There were pools as well and other attractions. The room that Stefan chose was located near the restaurant and the biggest pool. In that way, Cayenne can eat whenever she wants and swim whenever she wants.

The staff helped them find their rooms according to the number written on the card key and when they finally settled down, the staff left.

Cayenne thought that everything was so sudden and that the guards might not have a change of clothes. Contrary to her expectation, when they went out to eat lunch first, the bodyguards have changed their black suits to casual clothes. She was really surprised. It turned out that she was the only one who didn't know about this trip.

Even her family knew that they won't be around until tomorrow afternoon.

Cayenne looked around the place and she really liked this change of view. She can see green trees and flowers everywhere. There were many birds and butterflies as well. It was like a fairyland. There were fruit trees as well. The restaurant was few meters away from their rooms and as they go up, she could see the whole view of the mountain top resort that Stefan booked. It was really a beautiful place to stay.

"They say that it's more beautiful at night. Remember when we visited the restaurant on a mountain top in Lipa? You can also see the night scenery of the city here. It's a lot better with bigger view.

"I am so excited to see it." Cayenne mentioned happily while looking around.

"I'll make sure to keep you awake."

"You better do that." Cayenne responded. If she knew how her husband was planning to keep her awake, she wouldn't ask him to do it.

They arrived at the restaurant and Cayenne chose to sit on the space where she can see a full view of the city and the resort. She took pictures of the place while Stefan took pictures of her. After a while, Stefan picked up the menu on the table and started to order. Since his wife was busy appreciating the place, he just ordered for both of them.

After observing the place for safety precaution, the bodyguards started to order as well.

"Thank you." Cayenne muttered the moment that the waitress left.

"Thank you for what?"

"For bringing me here."

"That's not a problem. I'll bring you to beautiful places whenever we have time. I'll spend my time with you whenever we can."

"And I'll go with you wherever you want to go, given that I don't have classes or any appointment."

"Hn. Let's make lots of memories together." Stefan stated as he kissed the back of her hand. "I really missed you." He muttered while leaning his head on her shoulder.

Normally, it was Cayenne who would snuggle close to him; either she leaned her head on his shoulder or on his chest. It's very seldom for Stefan to do such act especially in a public place.

She raised her hand and gently caressed his face. "I'm sorry I had to leave for school everyday."

"Hmm? You don't have to apologize for it. It's me who insisted for you to continue studying. Speaking of study, didn't you choose this course because of Arthur?"

"Yeah. I did. At first, it was because I wanted to spend more time with him but now, if you didn't mention him, I wouldn't even remember this reason."

"Oh! So, it's my fault for bringing him up."

"Yup. It's your fault. Stop thinking about the reason anymore. Just keep in mind that no one can replace you in my heart."

"Noah can't compare to me as well, right?"

"Why are you bringing him up?" Cayenne questioned and then she realized why. "Don't be jealous of him. No one can compare you and no one can replace you in my heart. Besides, he's also taken. I even talked to his girlfriend last time."

'He's taken? Why didn't Tristan include that in his report?' Stefan questioned mentally but since his wife said so, he didn't care about it anymore. He won't waste his time being jealous as well.

Sensing his silence, Cayenne was worried that he was still jealous and sulking. She looked around and found that no one was watching them. In quick motion, she cupped Stefan's face and kissed him. "I love you. Just remember that."

'Lady boss, I saw it.' One of the bodyguards thought while trying to hide his smile.

Not just him, one of the male customers also noticed Cayenne's sneaky gestures and saw her kissing Stefan. He didn't say anything while shaking his head. 'Kids these days..' He thought.
