She's My Sleeping Pill

“Hm?”

“I love you.”

Stefan’s throaty chuckle rang out in their room as he lifted her up and carried her to their bed. “What’s the matter?”

“Nothing. I just felt so blessed after meeting you.”

“Don’t you have regrets even when I caused your life to be in danger?”

“I would still have been in danger even if I didn’t meet you. If I didn’t meet you, no one will come to save me time and time again. But because I met you, those dangers pose no threat to me.”

.....

“I’m blessed to have you in my life as well. You complete me, Ayen. The qualities that I don’t have, you possess them.”

“Hehehe. We’re both half of the same whole.”

“Correct. And I thank God for giving you to me.”

“I am so touched right now and I literally mean it.” Stefan grinned mischievously at his raging hard on pressing on her. The sincere and pure moment turned hot and passionate because of how horny he was. “How could you be having that right now? We weren’t even talking about anything lewd.”

“Anything about you turns me on anytime of the day. Do you know how hard it is to control myself during meetings when I think of you?”

“Why would you even think of me during your meetings? You have to listen to your subordinates.”

“Elena is always there to note the information for me.”

“Your helpless.”

“So, what are we going to do with this now?” He even rubbed his bulging pants on his back. “Wifey, this baby needs help.”

“Hmph! Why should I? You’re not even helping me have a baby.”

“Let’s do it tonight.”

“You are tricking me again. You do it yourself.”

Even though she refused, Cayenne still ended up getting tricked by his dear husband. The sound of making a baby with him was enticing to her only that, Stefan protected his baby-making tool with the ultra-thin condom that he bought when he visited a pharmacy to get another stock. Usually, he would only buy the normal ones that he used but thinking about how his wife wanted a baby, he decided to ask the saleslady if they have anything that’s thinner. And that was how he got it.

Cayenne felt him release himself inside her. She felt them trickling inside her walls but when Stefan pulled out, she also felt the emptiness inside her. Stefan pulled the condom immediately before Cayenne could see them. “You didn’t use anything?”

“Why?”

“I feel weird.” Cayenne muttered while rubbing her flat stomach. “I thought it was there.”

“The fruit of your labor will show soon.”

Cayenne smiled happily and Stefan felt guilty with what he did. She was always sincere with wanting a baby but he always tricks her to not make it happen yet. [I’ll throw them away tomorrow and let fate takes it course.]

Three days later, since they no longer have class and was just waiting for their grades, Cayenne took this chance to meet with her classmates who agreed to Noah’s idea about decluttering their homes. Stefan even booked one of his restaurants for his wife’s use.

“I got more things from my sister compared to my things. Since I didn’t change much in size, most of my things stay the same over the years.” Faith commented when she met Cayenne.

“I told my friends about this event and they also gathered some of their things that they don’t use anymore. I also got some of my school supplies which I won’t use anymore for this year. I hope they’ll find someone who will use them.”

“I don’t have many toys but I have a lot of shoes.”

They chatted about the things they got which could help many people but Noah started to worry about something. “Yenyen, we didn’t think of this before but now that we got so many things, where are we storing them? We still have to sort them out before giving them away, right?”

“Don’t worry about that. I discussed this matter with Stefan since his friend sent us a huge package for fund-raising as well. He said that he’ll take care of it.”

“Why don’t you make your own foundation?” One of her classmates asked which stunned everyone for a while before nodding their head like hens pecking for food.

“Right. You can have your own foundation and affiliated it with Stefan’s business. In that way, they will know that you are reliable.” Agreed by her other classmate.

“I never thought of that before.” Cayenne responded with a curious expression. “I’ll discuss this matter with my husband. I can’t just decide on my own with this.”

With all that being said, Cayenne thanked everyone who lent their hands to help more people and discussed when they should gather all the things so that she could pick them up. Realizing that their decluttered items could be heavy, Cayenne decided to let the bodyguards pick the items instead.

With the donations and all the ideas coming up, Cayenne got so busy to the point that she never noticed some of their things at home were missing. With Monet’s package alone, so much time was taken already and she never realized that she was spending less time at Stefan’s company.

Stefan wasn’t worried about this anymore. They were starting to get used to being separated but mostly, it was because she was only at home. She rarely goes out to meet with people and most of her friends or classmates would just visit her to help with the items.

“Hon, we will be going to the orphanage tomorrow, right? What time will we return? I wanted to bring you to a place.”

“We’ll be back around noon or in the afternoon depending on the traffic.” Stefan only nodded and Cayenne didn’t say anything either. She was busy double checking the things that they will bring for tomorrow’s event that will take place on a mountainous village. She could only hope that things will go well.

Far from the city, crossing the mountains and seas, a woman was looking into a magazine which showed a photo of Cayenne and Stefan. There was no emotion on her face or in her eyes. However, every day, she would stare at this photo emotionlessly.
