She's My Sleeping Pill

"Yes, hon?"

"I miss you."

"Huh?" Cayenne raised her head and looked at him. She looked surprise and confused but seeing Stefan\'s dejected expression, she couldn\'t stop herself from taking a step closer to him. She linked their fingers together and placed both their hands inside her coat pocket. "I love you."

"Really? Why are you ignoring me, then? Also, you have forgotten something so important."

"I did? What is it?"

"We have to visit Alexander and offer some prayers for his soul to rest in peace. It\'s his death anniversary."

"We can do that tomorrow." Cayenne replied and continued to look for book. She picked a lot and had the bodyguards carry them while she strolled inside the bookstore.

"Excuse me." A teenage girl approached them and peered at Cayenne\'s eyes. "You are Cayenne Ardolf-Dumrique, right? You are the vlogger. Can I have your autograph and can I take a picture, too?"

"Sure." Cayenne held no hesitation and immediately stood close to the little girl, pulling Stefan to stand beside her and one of the bodyguards took the picture for them. The little girl bought some books and asked Cayenne to sign of them.

"Thank you." The little girl hugged the signed book and smile. "I will continue to support you and your brother. I hope that you will remember your memories, too."

"Thanks a lot for your support. I\'ll relay your message to my brother as well."

After the teenage girl paid for the book and bid her farewell, many other shoppers did the same thing. In less than ten minutes, the bookstore was already crowded from so many people who wanted to get Cayenne\'s signature. Although she stopped uploading videos for a while, many fans of her are waiting for her come and many new fans wanted to see more of her videos, specially one with Stefan.

Cayenne wasn\'t the least bit worried with the crowd. She was surrounded by the bodyguards and Stefan was with her all the time. In fact, she was thankful for this interruption. In this way, she was reasonable excuse for taking so much time in the mall.

One hour later, they finally got out with the help of the mall\'s security. Her fans were a little upset but Cayenne promised them that she\'d upload a new video on her vlogging account.

"Ma\'am, I got the thing that you asked me." The bodyguard, who picked up the item she bought, gave her the small shopping bag which contains two small boxes in it. "I checked it and found no problem."

"Thank you." Cayenne got into Stefan\'s car and they finally made their way back to her property.? She didn\'t mention anything about the shopping bag and Stefan didn\'t ask either. "What shall we bring to your brother tomorrow?"

"Can you bake an apple pie? He loves apple pie."

"I can learn. I\'ll ask help from Lucia."

"I\'m not sure if dad and grandpa would come along with us but if they would, let\'s have lunch with them. I have something important to discuss with my father."

"Can\'t we get together with them without using business as a reason? I have noticed that you always meet them for business reason. You still haven\'t forgiven them for what happened to your mother, do you?"

"Have you forgiven Old Rule for what he did to your mother?" Cayenne frowned and looked at him but she couldn\'t find anything to refute because he was right with his question. "Sorry, I didn\'t mean to rub salts on your wound."

"It\'s fine." Cayenne shifted on her seat and looked outside the window. "I have no right to ask you of something that I couldn\'t do myself but hon, we\'re different. Maybe we were both hurt but your father never wanted to hurt your mother. He was really in love with her. However, that grandfather of mine was different. He meant harm towards my mother and even when she was gone, he wanted to do the same thing to me. He didn\'t respect me or my mother at all."

"I\'m sorry. It wasn\'t my intention to open old wounds."

"It\'s alright. It\'s okay. I don\'t really mind. Anyway, just do whatever you want to do and I\'ll always be by your side to support you."

"Really?"

"Hn." She answered with no qualms but Stefan slowed down and stopped his car on the roadside instead. "Why are we stopping?"

"I\'m just going to do what you just said to me."

"What did I say?" She looked really confused now which made Stefan want to tease her even more – a payback for being ignored at the mall.

"I\'m just going to do whatever I want to do while you stay by my side and support me." He whispered with his husky and compelling voice. He sounded sexy and for a moment, Cayenne was in a daze while staring on his bare neck in front of her. She shuddered when she felt him licking her earlobe and kissing the side of her neck. Butterflies fluttered their wings in her stomach and she thought her heart was somersaulting in her chest.

"Stefan."

"Hn?"

"Why don\'t we do this at home? We\'re still on the road and people might see us from the outside."

"Don\'t worry. The windows are tinted and no one would see us."

"Uhm…well, this isn\'t what I mean when I told you to do whatever you want. I meant it for your family situation."

"I know."

"Then, why are you doing this?"

"Because I want to do this, too. I love doing this with you." Stefan replied and whatever it was that Cayenne wanted to say, to reason out, she was silenced by his mouth. His kisses were gentle like the first time they kissed each other but few seconds later, Cayenne was feeling out of breath already. "You\'ve been learning from Jill about self-defense and stuff, why don\'t you ask her how to improve your stamina. You are so weak. I just kissed you for more than a minute but you are panting already."

"Shut up or you won\'t get to do this again." Cayenne pushed him away and rolled her eyes at him but Stefan only grinned and moved even closer, trapping her between his body and her seat. "Hon, our house is better than your cramped car."

"You are right. Maybe I should bring a bigger car next time and we can try doing it inside the car." Stefan placed a kissed on her nose and chin before kissing her mouth and returned back to his seat. "I think it\'s a brilliant idea."

Cayenne didn\'t know what to say anymore. She didn\'t really starve him on that field but he just couldn\'t be satiated.. He\'s insatiable when it comes to lovemaking.
