She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 106 - GIVING THEIR RELATIONSHIP A CHANCE

They paid for the entrance fee and walked around the garden with so many blooming flowers. There were roses of different colors, huge and towering sunflowers, full bloomed hibiscus of different varieties and many more. There were vines that formed an arc and when you pass underneath it, it seemed fantastical and unreal. Butterflies hovered over the flowers with the bees and dancing from petals to petals. They were looking for nectar.

Cayenne breathed in the fresh scent of flowers, letting go of Stefan's hand at the same time. If she could, she wanted to live in the garden forever. People of different ages, races and colors were present in the area to enjoy the scenery. Seeing the swaying pink rose in front of her, Cayenne couldn't help herself from leaning closer. She held the thin stem of the plants and smelled the flower. It was intoxicating which made her close her eyes for a moment.

Stefan had been holding his phone, taking pictures of Cayenne without her knowing. He felt empty when she let go of him but it was also fine as long as he could see her all the time. When she leaned over to smell the flower, the scene was mellow and it warmed his heart as if he drank a bottle of honey. He lightly pressed his phone and captured the moment. He also made sure to keep it in his heart forever.

"Look at this!" Cayenne exclaimed and pulled him closer to a yellow rose. "This yellow rose is growing from a red rose. The owner of this place is really good in planting. I am not so sure but I think this is what they call marcotting."

"Do you want to try doing this at home?"

"I don't think I can do it but, maybe when I have time, I'll try it just for fun."

Stefan gave her a thumbs up and they continued to stroll around the garden. When she found something interesting, she'd lean closer to it and smell its flower.

"Can you take a picture of me over there?" Cayenne asked as she pointed at the rattan swing in the middle of the garden. It was tied to a huge and thick post where vines grew around it. Many people were taking pictures in the same area since the view looked like a fairy tale painting that was given a life in the real world.

"Sure." Stefan agreed and the two of them walked towards the swing. She was holding his hand once again, leading him towards the swing. Since Cayenne wasn't looking back at him, Stefan took this chance to take a picture of their linked hands. "Let's wait for our turn since there are other tourist who came before us." He whispered close to her ears but the truth was, he was busy editing the picture of their hands.

Cayenne was watching the other people, specially the couples who came to enjoy the place like them. As she continued to watch them, she has decided something in mind. If Stefan was really true to his words last night, she would want to give their relationship a chance. 'Who knows? Things might work between us.' Cayenne told herself while stealing glances at the man beside her.

He had been staring on his phone for a while and there was a faint smile on his lips. "What are you smiling about?" Cayenne asked him while tugging his hand lightly. "Your face was showing that you're up to something naughty."

"I just posted something." Stefan told her, obviously, he's got no plans to hide anything from her. "Would you like to check your social media account or would you like to see my post directly from my phone?"

"Your phone." Cayenne responded hesitantly. "Can I?"

How can Stefan say no to the woman that he likes? Even before he admitted that he likes her, he had been very transparent with her. In any case, his phone doesn't have any confidential files or anything that he'd be worried about if discovered. He confidently gave his phone to her which was currently displaying the photo of their linked hands.

He didn't capture her face to make sure that no one would know about her identity. At the same time, the photo showed her sexy collarbone, her fair white skin and her smooth legs. Behind her were different kinds of flowers which he edited to look more vibrant and fuller compared to the real plants.

'Let's stay like this forever.'

There was no name being mentioned and he didn't tag her as well. Cayenne bit her lower lip, not knowing what to say or what to do. They haven't discussed anything yet and she was still unsure of his real intention.

She returned his phone back to him without saying anything and instantly turned around to hide her blush. She didn't want him to see her reaction. Stefan was a bit puzzled but since she didn't dislike it and didn't ask him to delete the photo, he just stayed silent while secretly observing her.

After five minutes, it was finally their turn to take picture. "Just do whatever you want to do and pose whatever pose you like. I'll continue to take pictures of you and you can just choose which one you like later." He never told anyone about his hobby which was photography. Whenever he went for a trip, he'd make sure that he'd be able to get a picture of that place to commemorate his trip.

This time, he's got Cayenne as his muse and it was much better compared to plain landscapes and other sceneries. For the first time, he'd take a picture of a person.

While Cayenne was fixing her hair and her tank top, silky tank top, Stefan started taking pictures of her already. They were just normal actions to her but for Stefan, every second was a precious moment. He was just about to press his phone when he caught sight of a little girl wearing a flower crown.

He stopped taking pictures for a while and walked towards the little girl and her mother. "Excuse me." Stefan started to get their attention. "Where did you buy this flower crown?" he asked the mother while pointing at the flower crown on top of the little girl's head.

"We brought from our house. My daughter would always bring it wherever she goes. Why?"

Stefan scratched the tip of his nose while giving the little girl a faint smile. "Baby, can I buy your flower crown? I want to take a picture of my girlfriend with it. Is that fine?"

The little girl looked at him and touched the flower crown on her head. "Where is your girlfriend?" Stefan pointed at Cayenne who was sitting on the swing, waiting for him to come back. She had no clue what Stefan was talking about with the little girl and her mother but she didn't mind it as long as he'd come back to her.
