She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 228 - DON'T LIKE CAYENNE

Stefan and Cayenne slept peacefully that night. No argument, no jealousy and whatever negative feelings that may affect their relationship. They were just happy being with each other.

And according to their plan, the next day, Stefan woke up early and prepared the things they will be needing for a trip to Venice. It's quite far from Tuscany and Stefan was planning to show her around the town while waiting for his cousin's wedding. He asked the chef to cook Cayenne's favorite dishes for breakfast while his queen was still asleep.

It was still six in the morning so, Stefan wasn't in a hurry. He was working as quiet as he could to prevent her from waking up so early. He packed some of her clothes and other important things to make sure that she won't be worried about it later. As for the other things that she might need later, Stefan thought of bringing her to some shops so that they can shop for some things together.

Half an hour later, Cayenne woke up. She rubbed her eyes while looking around her surroundings. 'Right. I'm in Italy right now.' She reminded herself as she got out of bed. "Stefan?" She called for his name when she went out of the room. Not to disappoint her, Stefan was easily found in the living room, arranging their things to make sure that he can grab it easily later.

Stefan raised his head to the sound of her voice and found Cayenne walking down the stairs towards her. "Morning, love." He kissed her lips and her forehead.

"Good morning, my dear husband. Why are you up so early? I thought we'd leave around ten." Cayenne questioned as she wrapped her arms around his waist. "Don't leave the room when I'm not awake yet. If you have to do something and must leave, you should wake me up to let me know or at least, leave some notes for me. I feel insecure when I couldn't find you."

"Alright. I'll do that next time, 'kay?"

"Hn. Love you." Cayenne gave him a peck on his lips before letting him go. "Did you also pack my things?"

"Yup. I packed them first before I packed mine."

"Thank you."

"You are most welcome."

The two of them flirted for a little while but it was cut off since it was time for breakfast. The chef prepared a sumptuous meal for them since they'd be gone for a little while.

Cayenne loved the dishes so much and she ate a lot in the morning. Even so, Stefan still asked the chef to prepare some sandwiches for Cayenne to eat on their way to Venice. 'It would be great if my little Queen become a little plump." Stefan thought to himself. He loved Cayenne despite her status and appearance but he was a bit worried for her because she was little skinny. She didn't want other people to think that he's starved his wife.

Around nine in the morning, Stefan and Cayenne left the house in order to go to Venice. Sabrina already informed them and gave them the address of the place where they would meet later.

They were planning to have lunch together.

"Sabrina, who's coming to join us during lunch?" one of the Sabrina's friends asked her. They were currently sitting inside a small café to take a break from all the shopping they did.

"My friends planned to be here in Venice and I will show them around."

"I see." They didn't say much about it and Sabrina didn't open up as well. She'd answer if she's being asked but she won't voluntarily offer the information.

They waited for Stefan and Cayenne together while talking over some clothes and other items that they were planning to take a look in the afternoon.

After waiting for so long, the people they were waiting for finally arrived. They took a little bit more time because they check-in to their booked hotel first before coming out to find Sabrina. Although they were expecting to see her with some friends, Cayenne was still a bit shy when she finally met them.

Sabrina's friends were all Italians. They all looked towards her as if evaluating the kind of person she was.

"Cayenne." Sabrina smiled as greeted them. "I'm glad you made it here safely. Let me introduce you to my friends." She stood up from her seat and held Cayenne's hands while pointing to her friends. "The one with the red hair is Maribeth. This woman with a wavy black hair is Suzanne. And the man who keeps eating, ignoring us girls, is named Diego."

"Hello. Nice to meet you, all." Cayenne greeted them politely and everyone smiled back to her except for Diego.

"So, they're my important guests now." Sabrina stated. "This is Cayenne and this is Stefan."

The moment they heard Stefan's name, Cayenne noticed the subtle changes of their expression. She knew that they all knew about Stefan even before they met him.

Stefan, on the other hand, looked towards everyone emotionlessly. He could tell that Sabrina's friends didn't like Cayenne. And whoever dislikes his wife, he won't be polite to them either. In order to become friends with him, you have to become friends with his wife and treat his wife sincerely first.? She's like the gate pass to become connected with him.

Instead of being led by them, Stefan suggested a restaurant for them to have lunch together. He specifically chose an expensive restaurant to dine. For him, money is not an issue.

"Sabrina," Maribeth approached her on her left and whispered, "that Stefan, is he the same Stefan that you've been talking about ever since you were young?"

"Hn. That's him."

"And who's that girl with him?" Suzanne asked from her right side. "Is she his girlfriend?"

"Why don't you ask him? Stefan doesn't like people prying over his life matter. Don't let him hear you asking me these questions." Sabrina retorted while keeping her eyes on the couple, walking not far from them.

"But you like him, right? In the years that we've been together, I have never seen you so happy talking about someone else." Maribeth added.

"Correct. Are you just going to give up? Aren't you friends with his cousin? Why don't you ask her to create some opportunities for the two of you?" Suzanne commented on the side.

"Stop it. I don't want to be a third party in his relationship. If he's happy, I'm happy for him." Sabrina answered in all seriousness. "Stop talking nonsense now. I am good friends with Cayenne and she's lovely. I don't want to hurt her."

"Whatever." Suzanne rolled her eyes and signaled Maribeth with something through eye contact. She stayed back for several steps and walked alongside with Diego. "Do you want to help Cayenne achieve her happiness?"

"Of course. She saved me once and now, I want her to be happy, Whatever and whoever can make her happy, I'll make sure to get it for her."

"Sabrina didn't save you in vain." Suzanne commented with a chuckle. "Let's discuss this matter later."

The six of them continued to walk in pairs. Sometimes, Stefan would stop whenever he found a nice place and he would take a picture of Cayenne twice or thrice. In fact, in his gallery, if you could open his phone, you would see that Cayenne took up most of the storage space of his phone.

They arrived in a place where throng of people come and go from all directions. It was the busiest place in Venice and it was also the place where on could easily get lost.

"Let's do it here later." Suzanne whispered to Diego. As long as no one knows about what they're planning to do, Stefan won't blame them or Sabrina. They weren't really planning to harm Cayenne, just making her a lost puppy for a little while.

Stefan and the people behind him got inside a fancy and expensive restaurant for lunch. Stefan was very attentive to Cayenne and he ignored the other people around him, including Sabrina. He didn't like her friends so, he wasn't playing nice with her as well.

"I can feed myself." Cayenne whispered when Stefan started feeding her food.

"I want to feed you. What can people do about it? I want to spoil you so much so that you won't leave me anymore."

Cayenne smiled and lightly pinched his cheek for sulking in front of her. "Fine. If you want to feed me then, I can only feed you."

They flirted regardless of the place and the people they were with. And this made Stefan very happy. He was so elated that Cayenne was publicly showing her affection for him.

"Ahem! Ahem!." Maribeth coughed drily to get their attention but Stefan played dumb instead.

"It's not polite to cough when everyone's eating. You should excuse yourself and go to the comfort room." Stefan stated without batting an eyelid. This embarrassed the woman, putting her in an awkward position since there were some other diners inside the restaurant.

'Hmp! As if I can't see how you're discriminating my wife with your eyes. You should be thankful that I didn't gouge it out from your socket.'
