She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 121 - ARTHUR VISITED THEM AGAIN

He couldn\'t help but smile at the sight of her. He caught sight of the paper that she left for him and read it. After changing his clothes, he got on to the bed and sleep beside her.

Cayenne felt that the bed dipped a bit under his weight but she didn\'t even turn around, least he\'d know that she wasn\'t really sleeping.

The room was silent and only their breathing could be heard. Stefan was contemplating if he should hug her without her permission since they\'re dating but he also dismissed the idea since they were not official couple yet. He waited for her to turn around but she stayed in the same position even after ten minutes.

Cayenne felt sore as well. Left with no choice, she shifted her body and faced him. "Can\'t sleep?"

"Hn."

"Is it because you\'re unfamiliar with my room?"

"Nope. I was just contemplating if I should hug you to sleep or not. I didn\'t know that you\'re awake."

Cayenne didn\'t comment on his last sentence. She took hold of his hand and placed it around her waist. "Are you fine with this now?"

"Better." Stefan pulled her even closer and cuddled her to sleep. This time he\'s comfortable and at ease with her beside him.

Cayenne also closed her eyes to sleep.

Stefan woke up around ten in the morning but Cayenne was still asleep. It\'s weekend so she didn\'t have to go to work. After sending a message to Chris, Stefan sat up on the bed and leaned on the headboard to read the report that was sent to him. Chris also told him that the result of the DNA test came out three days ago but since Stefan was on vacation, he didn\'t let him know to prevent spoiling their trip.

Stefan ignored for the meantime, thinking that he\'d just open it on Monday after getting back to work.

Cayenne\'s eyelashes fluttered and she slowly opened her eyes while adjusting to the bright sunlight that managed to slip between the gaps of her window curtains.

"You\'re awake. Are you leaving now?" Cayenne asked him while rubbing her eyes.

"I\'m not leaving yet. We promised to watch a movie with your family today, right?" Stefan responded while kissing the top of her head. She looked so lovely now that she\'s acting more natural and relaxed around him.

"Oh. Was it today? I forgot." Cayenne sat up on her bed and checked the time on her phone.

"Hn. Let\'s leave in the afternoon. If you want to catch more sleep, just go back to sleep."

"No, let\'s go out and eat brunch." Cayenne told him. It wouldn\'t be good if they go hungry. She got out of bed and washed her face and brushed her teeth in her bathroom.

Stefan also followed her and took the spare toothbrush that she left for him last night after she took a bath. Then, they fixed their bed before going out.

Cayenne\'s brothers and mother were in the living room, watching a movie from Luiz\' laptop.

"Morning." Stefan greeted them and they greeted him back.

"Yen, I left the food on the table. You can just heat them up." Kyle reminded her sister before bringing back his gaze on the movie in front of him.

"Thanks." Cayenne and Stefan went to the kitchen to get some food. "Do you want to have a cup of coffee?"

"Can I?"

"Sure." Cayenne brewed the coffee for him while heating the food that Kyle left for them. She covered her mouth and yawned again, tears were hanging on her lashes.

"If you\'re still sleepy, just go back to sleep after eating." Stefan told her, his heart was aching to see that she\'s still forcing herself to get up even though she still wanted to rest.

Cayenne was used to not getting enough rest and besides, ever since she worked for him, she\'s been able to rest herself at night. She didn\'t have to work like a cow. Well, cows were better than her. Previously, she worked day and night with few hours of rest but cows only work during the days and rest at night. They\'re better compared to her.

"I\'m fine." Cayenne mentioned. "This is just the after effect of sleep." She wiped her face with the back of her hand and poured a cup of coffee for him. She also put one cube of sugar and a teaspoon of creamer. That\'s how Stefan liked his coffee to be done. He didn\'t like it so bitter and not so sweet, either.

After heating all the food, the two of them started eating their food while chatting about where to go next. Stefan had been wanting to go somewhere and since her passport was already prepared, he can finally bring her out of the country.

While the two of them were eating, someone knocked on their door.

"Arthur!" Kyle exclaimed loudly, making sure that his sister would know who their visitor was. "Come in."

Cayenne and Stefan were stunned. They didn\'t want anyone to know about their relationship since they were not official yet. And besides, more and more people have known about them and they were afraid that Cayenne\'s identity will be exposed to the public. That\'s something that Stefan and Cayenne\'s brothers didn\'t want to happen.

"Merry Christmas." Arthur greeted them and gave them the presents he brought. "These are some little presents I have prepared for you all. Cayenne has her own gift, too."

"Thank you." Luiz accepted the gift with a little hesitation but Kyle nudged him to get it.

"Hello, Auntie. How are you?"

"I\'m fine. Come and sit." Cayenne\'s mother gestured him to sit on the couch beside her. "Are you here to see Cayenne?"

Kyle and Luiz looked at their mother. They thought that she was approved of Stefan, they didn\'t expect that she still liked Arthur to be their sister\'s boyfriend.

"Cayenne is not here though." Kyle mentioned while eyeing her mother. "She left to go to work. She\'ll probably come home tonight."
