She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 215 - BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION IV

They played for over two hours at the beach and stopped when Kyle and Luiz returned from scuba diving. They changed their clothes and went to the restaurant to eat their lunch and this time, they had David joined with them. Stefan didn't notice the weird atmosphere between his secretary and his friend since he was solely focusing on his wife's needs.

"Just tell me which one you want to eat and I'll get it for you, okay?" Stefan reminded Cayenne even while he was removing the shells of the lobster for her.

Since Cayenne's mouth was full, she could only nod in response to him and when no one was watching, she quickly pressed a kiss on his cheek and wiped it off as well because she left an oil stain.

"You don't need to wipe it." Stefan whispered to make sure that no one would know what his wife did. "With or without the grease, I will like your kisses." Cayenne needed her head again with bulging cheeks and crescent moon eyes. "You look adorable, a little chipmunk owned by me."

Cayenne swallowed her food and picked one deboned shrimp from her plate and fed it to him. "I'm not a chipmunk." She mentioned while feeding him. "Let me feed you since you are busy removing the shells for me."

Stefan swallowed his food with a smile. "Thanks." He said and opened his mouth again. "Come and feed me."

Jasmine looked at them and felt envious. Well, any single person who would witness such sweet and lovely couple will feel envy. Not just Jasmine, David also felt the same. He looked towards Chris but the man didn't pay attention to him. He was busy talking with Luiz about some mathematical formula and other school topics.

The lunch ended with Stefan and Cayenne's flirting gestures in passing. After they ate, they looked around the place, took pictures here and there, bought some souvenirs and enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

Kyle and Kath took a picture together and uploaded it as cover photo for their social media account. Just a look of their picture and you would know that they're couple and were very much in love with each other.

"Director Kai, your sister is already taken?" the young movie actor, who's playing the male lead of the current movie he's working on, saw the new update of Kath's cover photo. He had a crush on her since they first met during the director's birthday. But the director told him that he won't allow his sister to have a boyfriend yet, not until she graduates college. He waited, thinking he's still got a chance but the battle ended without giving him a chance to fight for her.

Director Kai pulled out his own phone and looked at his sister's picture. The look in her eyes can spell the love that she felt for her boyfriend. He gave it a heart before putting his phone back to his pocket.

"Director, you didn't answer my question yet." The young actor stated.

"My sister didn't want to give up on him and she loved him ever since we moved here. I think it's been five or six years. And Kyle felt the same for her. The feeling is mutual so, why should I hinder them?"

"But you told me that you won't allow her to have a boyfriend until she graduates in college."

"Things change over time." Director Kai replied.

Since he can't do anything about it, the young actor decided to forget this matter. He also unfollowed Kath from her social media account in order to avoid seeing her love updates.

When you know that you can't win a battle, it's better to surrender with dignity than to hurt yourself and someone else. Surrendering doesn't mean you are a coward, it means you are mature enough to let go of something or someone that you know you can't have.

Luna and Ali also took several pictures but instead of changing their cover photos or profile pictures, they uploaded it in one album. Many of their friends expressed their jealousy because they get to spend time travelling and have fun in different resorts recently. They never knew that it was only because of Cayenne that they get to do this.

Most of them took pictures to commemorate to this happy family day they have – thanks to Stefan. Sadly, only Stefan and Cayenne couldn't go all out. They took so many pictures together but they couldn't upload it at all.

Stefan sulked whenever he sees the update from everyone else while he, on the other hand, couldn't do it.

"Let's take a picture over there." Cayenne suggested while pointing her finger to a spot with beautiful rock formations. She was wearing a white dress paired with white slippers and a mixed of white and gold floppy hat. She looked really pretty with her hair swaying by the wind behind her.

"Ayen." Stefan called her name and the moment she turned back to face him, he captured that moment with his phone. "Lovely." He commented with a wide smile.

"Shall we take a picture together?" Cayenne asked him while she peered at him. "Even if you won't be able to upload it, when we grow old, we can still look at them together while looking after our grandchildren, won't we?"

"I like that idea." Stefan agreed and stopped sulking. The two of them happily took pictures together as they walked by the shoreline. There were many tourists during this time but Cayenne wasn't worried because she knew that her face was hidden under the floppy hat she wore.

Without them knowing, one of the employees who worked in one of Clover Hotel branches was also having a family bonding with her husband and two kids. She saw her boss with a beautiful woman beside her and because she didn't work in the same branch as Cayenne, she had no idea of her identity.

She took a picture of her boss with his woman and uploaded it.

"I finally witnessed how sweet the boss is towards his girlfriend." Accompanying this caption was three photos of Cayenne and Stefan. One was a picture of them holding each other's hand. Another picture was when Stefan carried her slipper for her. The last picture was Stefan taking a picture of his girlfriend.

Many people read this post and asked the uploader where the place was but, the employee knew that her boss didn't want to be disturb so she didn't answer to any inquiries. They can only try to guess as much as they could but she never answered them.

Stefan was also mentioned in this post and he confirmed it with a heart. Since Cayenne's face wasn't very clear in the three photos, he wasn't bothered by it.

However, no matter how far Cayenne was, there were some people who were very familiar of her and these were her colleagues. When they saw that it was their boss, they were a bit doubtful of the identity of his girlfriend. Many people thought it was Cayenne because the woman was so similar to her when she smiled; and they figure looked like her as well. Some other people thought that it must be someone who looked just like Cayenne. They still believed that Cayenne's boyfriend came from a show business. It's impossible to be their boss because their boss won't lay his hands on his employees – and this was where they got it wrong. Not only Stefan laid her hand on her, he even married her.

Nonetheless, since there was no confirmation from any party, they can only guess who Stefan's girlfriend was and who Cayenne's boyfriend was, except for those who knew already.

Around 3:00 in the afternoon, Stefan and Cayenne talked to the resort's manager to ask about the birthday preparation. They already started decorating the venue which was at the infinity pool on the left wing of the resort. It was temporarily closed because Stefan booked it exclusively for his mother-in-law. It will be a pool birthday party for her.

They didn't need to wear anything fancy since they'll be swimming later anyway. The manager assured that the party can start at six and they can end it by ten. At the same time, they can use the pool whenever they want since it was rented for the whole night.

"I only wanted to spend a little bit more than usual for my mother's birthday but in the end, you still spend a lot." Cayenne muttered while watching the people decorating the place.

"It's for our mother. She deserves the best. After all, she gave birth to the best daughter and raised her to become the best woman for me. She deserves all the credit for making me have you in this life. I can't just give her a cheap birthday party when I have the money to spend, right?"

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. You've done what you think is best already. I won't dare complain."

"But, don't I have a reward for it?" Stefan asked with a sly grin appearing on his lips. "It's Saturday today so, don't make the party as an excuse for not giving me a reward later tonight."

'This perverted devil.' Cayenne thought as she rolled her eyes at him. "I didn't forget and I won't make excuses either."

"Yay! My wife if the best." Stefan hugged Cayenne happily.

"Wife? You two got married?"
