She's My Sleeping Pill

775 STEFAN WASN’T A BAD STUDENT

“This is probably the purpose of this hotel,” Cayenne commented while lying her head on Stefan’s chest. “I can’t believe we become like those students who skip classes and do things like this here.”

“I’m not a student, sweetheart.”

“Hmph! Are you washing your hands and blame me alone?”

“Of course, not,” Stefan answered at once while caressing her naked back. His feathery touches felt a little ticklish and a little hot which made her hum in pleasure. “I have never skipped my class in the past. Travis would have probably hung me on the roof beam if I did it.”

“We never talked about it, but how were you as a student?”

“I was only second to Travis all the time. He was always excellent in all the things he did and he never worked on something half-heartedly. I wasn’t jealous of him, though. Despite being compared to him for several years, I was glad that we are friends. He helped me and guided me about certain things to make sure that I won’t walk the wrong path.”

“So, you never tried skipping classes? Not even once? Are you sure? Then, how could you ask your wife to do such a thing?”

Stefan let out a throaty chuckle as he kissed the top of her head and pressed her body even closer to his. He would have stuck her to his body if he has that choice. “I couldn’t afford to skip my class,” Stefan whispered as he remembered the things that he went through after Alexander died. “I wasn’t excellent or rich like Travis. I barely had money from the part-time job I had and sometimes, Travis would lend me his allowance when I needed money for projects and other things. Unlike now, I didn’t have money to bribe my school before, and surely, Travis wouldn’t allow me to do it.”

“He’s an upright man.”

.....

“That’s before he met Jill. Well, technically, he met her during his childhood days and things happened which caused them to get separated. I wonder if Jill knew how much Travis struggled to find her.”

Cayenne suddenly laughed when their conversation got to this point because she remembered what Jillyanna said to her before. It turned out, Jillyanna was keeping in touch with Travis’ father but the man didn’t tell his son about it. He was able to keep it a secret for more than a decade. He was really good when it comes to scamming his son.

“What else did you do when you were a student?”

“Nothing much.” Stefan retorted and smiled helplessly when he recalled a certain event that made him want to throw a punch at his best friend’s face. “Travis didn’t like students who slack off. So, being the top student, even though he was having a high fever, he still attended our classes as if nothing happened. I didn’t notice it at first because he looked nonchalant and he was able to answer the teacher’s questions. It was not until we arrived home that he collapsed from sickness.”

“I really wanted to give him a punch for being so stupid but since he was already sick, I gave up on that idea.”

“Your student life was boring”

“Yeah, you bet. Compared to a certain someone here – ”

“Yah! I didn’t even want to skip my class.”

“Really?”

Cayenne pouted and pinched his waist to retaliate, “Just today. You are so annoying! You were the one who told me to skip it.”

“I didn’t say that today.”

“You did.”

“Fine, I said it.” Even though he wasn’t really the one who directly said it, he still suggested the idea and went along with her on a whim. “You’re about to graduate and we have a baby on the way. Your grades are doing great. Do you want to work on something related to your profession?”

“No.”

“Great.”

“Great? What’s great about that? I’m studying hard but won’t use it.”

“Then, why won’t you use it?”

Cayenne has thought about this matter for a long time already and she thought she’d use her knowledge on something else. She wanted to help in some way and not use it to earn money. “I just want to help others. I was thinking that maybe I could teach the children in the orphanage to make a vegetable garden so that they’ll have a supply of veggies.”

“Honestly, I don’t want you to work so hard. I mean, we have a child to take care of and you have the foundation as well as your vlogging account. I wish you could just enjoy your life with our child.” Stefan expressed what he really wanted her to do instead of just forcing her to do something that she might not like. At least, she knew what he likes and his concern for her.

The two of them talked for a little while more about their future and their past. They both have wishes for each other but it would be up to fate if their wishes will come true or not. They could only hope that things will turn for the better if their wishes won’t be granted.

After half an hour, they had their lunch and as soon as they finished their meal, Stefan sent Cayenne back to the university. Seeing the fresh set of clothes, Noah grinned at her teasingly which made Cayenne blush in embarrassment. There was no need to say the words. He could tell what they did because he was a man, too, and he’s got a girlfriend. How much more for a married couple like Cayenne and Stefan? It’s only natural to need something at some point in time.

Since she was reenergized during lunch break, Cayenne was able to attend her classes with no problem. Her focus was on the discussion and she even raised her hand to answer the teacher’s question. Her classmates were really surprised that she voluntarily raised her hand to participate because most of the time, it was the teacher who would call for her opinion or facts.

“I’m wondering,” one of the female students whispered to her boy best friend, “if you get pregnant, do you become smarter?”

“What do you mean?” The man asked with a complicated expression showing on his face. He seemed like he was looking at something with three horns. His expression was indescribable.

“I just feel that Cayenne has become smarter and more beautiful. I feel like I want to get pregnant, too.”

“You’re an idiot. She was smart and beautiful, to begin with. Stop daydreaming!”

“Tsk! I was just wondering. Why are you getting so worked up?” she muttered and punched his arm. “It’s not like I have a boyfriend who can impregnate me and I also want to graduate first. I was just curious. That’s all.”

“Curiosity kills the cat. Be mindful of your thoughts.” He whispered back to her which caused the woman to roll her eyes at him. “Don’t even think I’d let another man approach you.”

“Huh? Did you say something?”

“I said you are dense.”

“Why?”

“Why, you ask? I have – ” the male student stopped talking because the professor’s pen came flying toward him and landed right on his forehead. He didn’t have the heart to continue talking while someone was looking at them like a fierce tigress.

“Mr. Cali and Ms. Bitor, do you mind sharing what you two are busy talking about? We’re also interested, aren’t we guys?”
