She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 179 - MESSING AROUND WITH STEFAN

Cayenne covered her face with her hands. She felt that her face was really hot and she was feeling very nervous. Just thinking of the size that Stefan treasured the most made her shiver. "I'll surely die tonight if he will make a move on me." Cayenne mumbled and wiped the invisible sweat off her face.

After an hour, Stefan finished cooking their dishes and they ate together. It was just like their regular meal but this time, it felt special because of the wonderful event that just happened to them.

"Thank you for promising your life to me." Stefan held her hand and kissed the back of it. "I will treasure every moment I have with you."

"Same with me. I'll do my best to make sure that I won't cause you trouble." Cayenne replied with a faint smile. "I'll be good and think of you every time."

"Even if you cause me trouble, I don't mind."

They were acting all lovey-dovey until they finished their lunch. And since Stefan cooked, she voluntarily washed the dirty utensils. Stefan dried them up because he didn't want to leave her all alone inside the kitchen.

"Do you have any plans for the afternoon?" he asked her. If possible, he wanted to go somewhere with her but Cayenne made this wedding a secret to everyone so she cannot ditch her job again to go for a honeymoon trip.

"Let's watch the other series of Pirates of the Caribbean."

"How about we go outside and have a date? We can watch a movie, too."

"Sure. I don't think that's a bad idea. You go and shower first."

"No. We'll shower together." Cayenne stiffened her back when she heard his statement. Stefan noticed her reaction, too. "Don't tell me you're still shy to shower with me? You're my wife already and it's completely natural to shower together."

Cayenne toughened up herself, turned around to face him and raised her eyebrow. "Who said that I'm embarrassed? I got over it already. What's there to be embarrassed about? Sooner or later, what needs to happen between a husband and a wife will still happen."

"Oh?" The grin on his lips widened to tease her. "You've mentally prepared yourself already? What about your physical condition?"

"I don't think I'm fit enough to do strenuous activities. How about we skip our honeymoon?"

"If we skip our honeymoon, my needs will be built up over time. Will you be able to handle it in the future?"

"Geez!" Cayenne rolled her eyes and touched the tip of his nose with her bubbled hands. "Stop being a pervert in front of me. The sun is shining brightly but you're thinking of dirty things." She went back to work and ignored him for the time being. She's going to lose her mind with her perverted husband.

"I don't think it's dirty if I'm doing it with you."

"Whatever." Cayenne muttered. "Just think whatever you want. Expectation and reality are two different things. I just don't want you to become disappointed."

Stefan put down the cleaning towel and the plate on the table, walked towards her and hugged her from behind. "I won't be disappointed as long as it's with you."

"Tsk! I don't have the same sentiment." Cayenne mumbled but Stefan kissed the base of her ears, making her flinch and blush. "What are you doing?"

"Kissing you."

"Yeah. I know that. Why are you kissing me? I'm seriously washing our dishes here."

"I'm kissing you because you are my beautiful wife."

"My dear husband, why are you getting cheeky with me now. Were you just luring me into your trap?"

"Oh my. You found out." Stefan went along with her act and pretended to be shocked. "Many people say that I'm a spider that lures my victims towards my web. Do you also think of me that way?"

"No." Cayenne rebutted. "I think, you're more of a wolf that's in a sheep's clothing."

"And you're the red riding hood who's about to be eaten by me." Stefan snaked his hand underneath her shirt which made her yelp. "Is my red riding hood afraid?"

"No, I'm not!" Cayenne snorted and braced herself altogether and when she felt his hands going up, touching the underside of her breast, she could only bite her lower lip to prevent her moans from escaping. "T-that…that's…that's enough, alright?" she plead while stammering for words. "I…I can't concentrate. I'm not done washing the plates."

"We can finish it later." Stefan whispered while kissing her nape and the side of her jaw. "I can help you wash it later."

"No way. I want to finish it now. Stop distracting me this time."

"Then, I'll distract you tonight."

"Whatever." Cayenne swatted his hand away and breathed out a sigh of relief. She calmed herself and thought that Stefan has left behind her but when she turned around, he cupped her face and kissed her lips. Previously, when he kissed her, it will be brief and most of the time, he will only kiss the corner of her lips. This time was different.

Stefan slipped his tongue inside her mouth swept her palates and gums. She was so startled with his action and his tongue was sending tingling sensations down to her toes. It was a bit itchy but she felt good doing it with him. She didn't feel disgusted like how she felt whenever she saw couples doing this kind of intimate gesture before.

Cayenne wrapped her arms around his neck but the bubbles from the dishwashing soap didn't bother Stefan at all. He held the back of her hand to deepened the kiss however, he noticed that Cayenne stiffened. He stopped and looked at her. "What's the matter? D-do…do you…do you dislike it?" he asked tentatively, unsure what to do if she'd say yes to his question.

Contrary to his expectation, Cayenne didn't show any expressing of distaste, dislike or displeasure; but she was rather lost and confused. "I don't know how to kiss. I haven't tried doing it and what I know from kissing is just me pressing me lips to you. I don't know the French kiss that everyone does with their partners."

"Honest as ever, aren't you?" Stefan pinched her cheeks lightly. "I was a little bit afraid when you suddenly stiffened under my touch. Anyway, I can teach you how to do it. And practice makes prefect so let's practice it a lot, okay?"

"Hmp! You just want to take advantage of me." Cayenne poked his waist and returned back to work. She was trying her best to calm her pounding heart but the man behind her wouldn't just let her rest. His presence alone will make her heart jump around from so much happiness. "Let's finish this as soon as we can so that we can shower together." She told him the most effective words to make him stop for a while.

There weren't many utensils that needed to be wash but because they flirted for most of the time, they ended up spending an hour washing and drying the kitchenware.

After hanging her apron and taking off her gloves, Stefan pulled her upstairs for a shower as soon as possible. He was so eager like a child who was promised to be taken out by his mother. In order to save her energy for later, Stefan didn't do anything inside the shower room. He behaved, which was rather odd but it was what Cayenne wanted, so she didn't mind at all.

Cayenne chose her clothes for their afternoon date and Stefan was watching over her so that he can choose an outfit that can match with hers. Cayenne chose a white sweatshirt with a huge black butterfly print on the front side and she paired it with a black and white checkered skater's skirt. Stefan bought her a lot of things and it's time to use them. She pulled out a black ankle boots from her shoe organizer and wore it. She took a small white backpack with cherry blossom prints on it. And lastly, she tied her hair up and put on a small amount of baby powder and lip gloss.

To match her style. Stefan chose a white V-necked shirt with a black chest pocket, a black denim shorts and white rubber shoes. He didn't comb back his hair like how he used to whenever he went to the company; just letting it loose and a little messy. He looked laid back and relaxed.

As for their accessories, both of them were wearing their red-string of fate jewelry. Cayenne was wearing the bracelet and Stefan was wearing the watch. And the additional items were their wedding rings.

While the two of them planned their date, some of the employees in Clover Hotel gossiped about Cayenne once again.

"Have you noticed that Yen's been MIA (Missing In Action) recently?" an employee asked her colleague over lunch.

"I do. Starting November, she's been skipping work a lot of times and she's taking vacations as well. Even during Christmas, I heard that she didn't came to work and someone covered for her shift with additional pay. I'm not sure if it's real though." Another employee added.

"Maybe it's because she never took vacation ever since she started working here. Maybe they allowed her because she's been diligent with her work." One employee tried to be rational with her opinion. "Even so, it's not really our problem if she's not working. It's not our money that gets deducted and it's not us who gets punishment if she abuses the management. So, just let her be."

Luna, who heard this opinion, gave the other girl an approving look. 'Someone is still rational like me.'
