She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 68 - DINNER WITH HER FAMILY

Stefan asked the driver to stop in one of the dessert factories on their way to Cayenne's place, in order for them to buy something for her family. Cayenne also bought ice cream because she was craving for it since this afternoon.

When they arrived to the apartment, her brothers were done cooking their food of dinner and her mother finished arranging the dishes on the dining table.

"We're home." Cayenne announced their arrival.

"Thank you for having me here." Stefan also said while taking off his shoes. Cayenne gave him indoor slippers as her brother went out of the kitchen to meet them.

"Welcome home." Kyle and Luiz greeted them. "We're done cooking. Come inside."

"Where's our mother?"

"She's inside waiting for you two. It's been a while since we all have dinner together." Kyle responded while leading them inside. "Thanks for coming big bro." he told Stefan who only nodded his head and handed them the cake and ice cream.

Cayenne's mother also came out and the two of them talked to her for a while before they started having dinner.

"Yen, don't you have a day off? I noticed that you've been working non-stop and I almost don't see you here. You would only come home to change your clothes or to take a little rest before coming out to work again." Her mother mentioned with a little bit of complain. "I'm not really against your work but I want you to rest sometimes, too. You won't have time for your family and your boyfriend if this continues."

Cayenne blushed when she heard the last part and Stefan also smiled faintly. "I don't mind if we have little time together. She can do whatever she wanted to do as long as she remembers that she's got a boyfriend waiting for her."

"What about you?" Cayenne's mother turned to him. "Since my daughter doesn't have much time to spend with you, haven't you thought of cheating? People in your caliber do that."

"I don't need to cheat. It won't bring me happiness or do me good."

"But you've dated so many women in the past."

Stefan and Cayenne looked towards each other. Her brother looked at them as well before dropping their heads down. "Ma, I know about his past and he stopped seeing any woman now. Don't diss him."

"I'm not dissing him. I'm just want to know about his opinion on the matter that I know of."

"I know I've done something horrible in the past Auntie but, I promise you that I only have Cayenne in my life right now."

"What do you even like about my daughter? She's not even as pretty as those ladies that you've dated and she is not rich either."

"It's because she's different that's why I like her. She isn't like those women that I have dated."

"Aren't you just interested with her because she's different? Maybe you don't really like my daughter. Maybe you just wanted to conquer her because she's a challenge to you."

"People say that when you're in love, you won't be able to think rationally but I think that's wrong. Cayenne is a smart person. She's caring, kind and honest. At the same time, she curses me a lot. She would yell at me. She glares at me and she's a crybaby. She's got negative traits. She's not perfect. She's not sexy like those women I've dated. She's not as pretty as them. Cayenne is Cayenne. She's simple and has a beautiful heart. She accepted me as I am and that includes my pasts."

Kyle scoffed at his speech and Luiz quickly handed him a glass of water. He didn't expect that Stefan would declare his love in front of them. 'It seemed like he's really serious about Yen. Maybe, just maybe; he's the right guy for her.' He thought to himself while trying to calm himself.

Luiz didn't say anything. It's not his relationship and he didn't like to meddle in someone else's love life. He will just watch over his sister and kick Stefan's butt if her ever hurt her in the future.

Cayenne was also a little embarrassed. If their relationship wasn't fake, she would really believe the words that he was spouting. For a moment, she really thought that Stefan might have secretly liked her. And in instant, she also dismissed the idea.

Her mother looked towards Stefan for few seconds before shifting her gaze towards her daughter. "Looks like you've found someone good."

"Haha. Right. Stefan is good." Cayenne responded to her mother with an awkward laughter. She felt really awkward this time specially that Stefan was forced to say something that he never felt towards her. It must be hard on him.

"Ma, stop questioning him. You might scare him and he might not come back again." Luiz told their mother.

"Is it wrong for me to get to know him?" Their mother retorted.

Stefan, being the good and considerate guy, answered her question. "I don't think Auntie was doing the wrong thing. A mother should be getting to know her future son-in-law, knowing that the person will be spending time with her daughter. I think all mothers have that role in their life once their children reach the legal age. I don't mind being questioned either."

"Correct." Cayenne's mother responded. "You are sensible. I like that attitude of you."

"Does that mean you have approved of their relationship?" Kyle asked.

"Not yet."

Stefan just smiled and decided to serve Cayenne with food. They ate and chatted; and Stefan would be questioned by Cayenne's mother from time to time.

'Her mother is not easy to please.' Stefan thought to himself. 'Sigh. When can I get her approval?'

Their dinner was lively and even though Stefan was put on a hot seat, he didn't let it bother him. He enjoyed his dinner with her family and he also received support from her brothers. At least, there were two people who supported him. He just needed to win her mother, the last obstacle in his relationship with Cayenne.
