She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 17 - LECTURING STEFAN

NOTE: Song used is GENIUS by LSD

As soon as she arrived to the house that Stefan bought, Cayenne changed her clothes immediately before going to the kitchen to cook food. "Hhmm, what should I cook for dinner?" she mumbled to herself while looking at the ingredients inside the large refrigerator. "I guess chicken curry and sausage rolls are fine." She took out all the ingredients that she needed and placed them on the table.

She washed the vegetables while cooking the rice. She was doing multiple things at the same time. She was humming a song while cooking at the kitchen and she seemed to be enjoying what she was doing.

"Oh, my god

Baby, baby, don't you see?

I got everything you need

O-only a genius could love a woman like she

Oh, my god

Baby, baby, don't you see?

I got everything you need

O-only a genius could love a woman like she"

She was dancing to the song she hummed and she didn't notice that Stefan had arrived. The house had a fingerprint sensor and keypad locked so Stefan can come inside without knocking on the door. Only the two of them can do that. Even Chris had to knock on the door since his fingerprints weren't registered on the lock.

Stefan was leaning his hips on the door towards the kitchen. He was watching her cook while dancing in the kitchen. The smell of the food she was cooking wafted through the air and he knew that it would be delicious. A smile formed on his lips and he didn't make a sound, just watching her do whatever she wanted to do.

She suddenly stopped humming and she placed her hands on her hips. "Oh my god, I forgot to call Kyle." She needed to ask her brother to buy some groceries for their consumption and wasn't able to leave a note for him. She turned off the stove first since she was done anyway and untied her apron.

The moment she turned around, her eyes met his eyes and she was stunned for a moment. "Stefan." She softly whispered his name. The thought of him watching her cook and dancing made her blush. "How long have you been standing there?"

"I just got here." He lied. He didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable so he lied to her.

Relief washed away her embarrassment and she smiled at him. "Welcome home. I just finished cooking our food for dinner. How about you go and change your clothes first? I'll have to call my brother for a moment."

"Alright. I'll take a shower first." He headed upstairs while Cayenne went to the living room to call her brother. It had been such a long time since someone welcomed him home and seeing her smile while waiting for him, he was delighted. It was a very warm feeling, something he was having a hard time letting go. He didn't want to give her to anyone else. 'She needed to stay beside me forever. I won't let anyone take her away from me.'

Cayenne had no idea that Stefan just made a decision to keep her. However, fate would always make things difficult. If a person was meant for you, no matter how fate interferes, that person will be yours. At the same time, if the person wasn't meant for you, no matter how much you wanted to keep her or him, that person won't be yours.

Cayenne called her brother and told him to buy their groceries at the nearest supermarket since she won't be able to do it. It was getting late so, Kyle promised to do it after school on the next day.

"I'll just do the grocery tomorrow afternoon with Luiz."

"Okay. You don't need to make breakfast for me tomorrow morning. I'll just buy my food on my way home." Cayenne told them.

"Got it, sis. Don't overwork yourself. If you get the chance to rest, make sure that you will be resting."

"Hn. I understand. You guys take care. I'll go back to work now." She ended the call and went back to the kitchen to arrange the dining table and to take out the dishes she cooked. There were just the two of them but the place wasn't cold or lonely. Even though they couldn't be considered as close friends, they still respected each other.

Stefan came out from their bedroom with a towel hanging on his neck. Droplets of water were falling on to the towel since he just came out from the shower.

"You should dry your hair first. Do you want to catch a cold?" Cayenne asked with her eyes blinking at him.

"But it's time for dinner." He responded while looking at the dishes on the table. "I want to eat now."

Cayenne rolled her eyes and walked towards him. "When I say dry your hair, you have to dry your hair. My job is to sleep with you. I don't want to be a nurse if ever you catch a cold. Do you get me?"

"Why are you ordering me around? I am the boss here."

"I know which is why you needed to listen to me. If you catch a cold, I might have it as well since we will be sleeping together. Isn't it troublesome to sleep with a cold? I won't be able to do my job as well since working in a hotel with colds aren't allowed in your company. There are so many risks if you don't dry your hair."

"Fine. I'll dry it. You don't have to lecture me." Stefan went back to their room to dry his hair. He wasn't angry that she was talking back to him and was ordering him. She wasn't just concerned for herself but for him as well. Even if she was just concern because it will affect her, he was still happy to know that someone cares for him.

Cayenne made two glasses of fruit juice while waiting for him to come out again. 'He will not fire me after lecturing her, right?" She was thinking of this question again. It would always worry her whenever her income is involved.
