She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 14 - FIRST NIGHT TOGETHER II

"This is the bathroom." Stefan opened another door and showed her an elegant bathroom which was bigger than her own room in the apartment. There were newly-bought stuff as well and they all came in pairs. Stefan noticed that she was looking at the stuff on the shelf and the ones near the sink. "I bought our stuff as well. I don't really know what you like so I bought whatever looks feminine.

What he meant of feminine was the color. Her toothbrush was pink, her bathroom slippers was pink, her indoor slipper was pink, her cup was pink, everything that was for her was either white or pink. On the other hand, Stefan's things were either blue or black.

"Thank you for being considerate of me." Cayenne whispered while placing her bag down on the plush couch found inside the room.

"No, problem." Stefan answered and walked towards the door. "What do you want for dinner? I can cook while you take a bath."

"Anything edible is fine."

"Alright. Go right ahead and shower first. Just find me in the kitchen once you're done." Cayenned slightly nodded her head and Stefan went out to cook their food. It was the most relaxing job so far. She didn't need to worry about her things and he was even cooking for them. 'The battle will start later.' Cayenne thought as she grabbed her bathrobe to take a shower.

After fifteen minutes, she came out of the bathroom, fresh and clean. She brought her own clothes and even though they were just a simple shirt and a cotton pants, they were still presentable and comfortable to her. She looked for a hair dryer but she couldn't find anything. Left with no choice, she looked for a dry towel and wrapped her hair with it before she went downstairs.

Stefan raised his head and found her standing with an oversized shirt and cotton pants. "I'm almost done here. Just wait a moment."

"Okay. I'll arrange the table." She volunteered and took a placemat for two. There were just the two of them so the table set up was like a date.

"Sorry for not buying a hair dryer for you. It was my neglection."

"It's fine. I'll just bring the one I used at home. You don't have to buy it."

"Ayen?" he called out her name again. He likes to say her nickname which was exclusively for him.

"Yes?"

"Will you be able to find the cab on your own tomorrow?"

"Yes. I won't have a problem with that. Thanks for picking me up earlier."

"I see. That's good to know. Anyway, the people who know this place are just you and me plus, Chris and the taxi driver. You don't have to be worried about people seeing you here. Just don't stay out that much because we don't know the connections of the people in this subdivision."

"No worries. I won't be spending my time outside."

Stefan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her response. It was the first time that he cared so much for a woman. He dated a lot of people before, had great time with physical desires but he never allowed any of those women to sleep on his bed. He would always ask them to leave and gave them a hush money.

Right now, he wanted to protect the little woman in front of him. Even if they would be sleeping together, he would never cross the line against her and he would not allow anyone to tarnish her name. He would hide their relationship no matter what happens.

Stefan placed two dishes of food and a bowl of rice on the table. "Do you want to drink some juice?"

"No, thanks. Water is fine with me since it's night time already."

"So, you are also someone who's conscious with your body figure?"

"Not really but I don't want to become diabetic."

"That makes sense." Stefan responded while placing a dish on her plate. "Try this Tuscan Salmon I made. I made from the recipe I found online but, I am not sure if you'll like it."

"Thanks." Cayenne forked a small piece and shoved it inside her mouth. "Wow! This is delicious." She commented before shoving another small piece of the dish inside her mouth. "I'll have some rice, do you mind?"

"Nope. Not at all. I'm glad that you like it." Stefan started eating his food as well. He scooped a corn crab soup and placed it beside her plate. "Eat it while it's hot. You just came out of the shower so, eating something hot or warm is good for you."

"Did you also get the recipe for this online?"

"No. I learned it from my older brother."

Cayenne scooped a spoonful of soup and gently blew it before putting it inside her mouth. Her eyes sparkled whenever she ate her food and Stefan liked the look in her eyes. He kept placing food on her plate while she kept eating whatever he gave her. "I really like you." Stefan stated with a smile but Cayenne was so shocked that she choked on her food and dropped the spoon that contained her soup.

The kitchen sank into a dead silence and the sound of the metal touching the floor was so loud in their ears. Cayenne was drinking her water quickly without meeting the man's eyes in front of her. She could feel her face getting hotter and she knew that she was probably blushing from embarrassment and surprise.

"Don't joke around. That scares the hell out of me."

"Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you with my statement. What I meant was that I like how you love to eat the food that I cooked and for trusting me in this whole matter. I didn't mean to scare you."

"That's fine. I was just very surprise." Cayenne had always been very timid and shy but because of him, she was trying her best to sound confident and talkative. She picked up her spoon and went to the dish organizer to change it. That's when she noticed the soup that fell on her clothes. She smelled like the dish itself.

"Let's finish eating so you can get change." Stefan told her in which she readily agreed.
