She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 59 - MATCHING STUFFS

Stefan went back home with a little disappointment in his heart. He was very confident that Cayenne's mother would like someone rich for her daughter in order to stop her suffering. However, base on his observation, even though they were poor, they don't adore money that much. They don't think highly about someone just because of the money in their bank account. She was still a typical mother who wanted to find someone who will truly love her daughter.

Sadly, Arthur's mother didn't like Cayenne for her son. So, no matter how much she likes the man for her own daughter, Cayenne no longer has any feelings for him. Arthur's mother will meddle in their relationship as well.

Therefore, even though he didn't get the approval of Cayenne's mom, he still got the advantage when it comes to forming a relationship with Cayenne. The only problem was that, everything's fake!

He was sitting on a couch with a daze expression. He knew he likes Cayenne but he didn't know as to what extent or what degree his kind of 'like' was. 'One thing is for sure. I want to keep her safe, make her smile and make sure that she's beside me.' Stefan thought to himself as he rolled his sleeves up to his elbow.

Since he didn't have anything else to do with his time, he decided to visit his brother. He knew that it was very less likely for his parents to be there during this time which will save him the trouble of being confronted by his mother.

He bought flowers and some candles to light on top of his brother's grave. He was supposed to visit him on his death anniversary but he was sure that his parents will be there. Even though it was also his birthday, no one really celebrated that event with him. In fact, people knew that it was Alexander's death anniversary but they never knew that it was his birthday.

Before, he was deeply hurt that no one celebrates his birthday. When his brother died, he just got used to the fact that his family will never celebrate his birthday. It was saddening but he was used to this sadness and he just pushed these negative feelings at the back of his mind. There's nothing he can do about it.

The cemetery wasn't very far from where he stayed. It was just half an hour away from the house that he bought. When he got there, the place had few people who were visiting their loved ones as well.

'I'm back in this place again after a year.' He thought while looking for his brother's tomb. 'How I wish I'm the one whose remains got buried here.' His brother would hate to hear these words from him but he just couldn't help himself from saying it. Fifteen years. He had been carrying the guilt of killing his brother for fifteen years and counting.

Stefan wasn't a very sentimental person but everything related to his older brother is important to him; be it the things he gave him or the memories that they shared.

After few minutes of walking, he finally found his brother's tomb. He placed the flowers on the side and lit up the candle and placed it at the side of the tomb as well. "Hey bro, I'm back." He looked around the place to see if anyone's coming. It would be troublesome if someone sees him talking to a tombstone. "Have you been watching me this whole time? Did you see Cayenne? She's pretty, right? I like her positivity in life. They weren't rich but she didn't lose hope when it comes to the survival of her family. Her brothers are very smart and attentive towards her as well. I met her mother for the first time this morning and I was scolded. Well, not really scolded but she didn't approve of me but she approved of my relationship with Cayenne because Cayenne chose me. Isn't that weird? Regarding our relationship, it's fake. And you know what…" Stefan talked and talked to no one but the tombstone. He spent almost two hours sitting, standing and walking around his brother's tomb.

Rich or not, he was just a normal person when it comes to visiting someone on their grave. He followed rules and he followed etiquettes.

After visiting his brother, he went to the mall to buy something for Cayenne. He remembered that he gave the phone, which was meant for her, to someone. Now, he needed to buy a new one. Making her jealous costs him an expensive phone and it wasn't even effective. He couldn't understand why he thought that way. There's no way she'd be jealous of someone else who comes with him.

"Good afternoon, sir." The attendant greeted him politely at the door. "How may I help you, sir?"

Stefan took out his phone and showed it to the attendant. "I want another phone like this and I want a matching cover as well."

"You mean a couple's set for the covers?"

"Yes."

"We have a service for customized cover, sir. Would you like to avail it, sir?"

"That's a good suggestion. Let me find something for the design."

"Got it, sir. I'll come and get the phone for you. Please have a seat for a while." The attendant left after placing some refreshments on the coffee table in front of him.

He couldn't make something so obvious or she will find out. At the same time, he knew that Cayenne won't think so much when it comes to these kinds of things. The attendant didn't take so much time, she came back with the phone that Stefan wanted and showed it to him.

He checked it the specs and made sure that it was good before filling in the information details for warranty. Even though he was rich, he still likes having warranties for most of his things.

"How about the cover, sir? Do you have anything in mind?"

"Hn." Stefan nodded his head and showed the design that he had in mind. He drew it using a sketching app on his phone. "I want a rose gold cover for the new phone and a silver gray for mine. And this is the design that I want you to put on the cover."

"Okay, sir. This will take at least half an hour. Would you like to wait for this or have it delivered in your home?"

"I'll wait for it." Stefan decided on the spot. "I'll come back for it later. I just need to go somewhere first."

"Okay, sir. I'll have our craftsman do the cases now." The attendant bowed her head and left once again. Stefan also went out with the gadget's bag in his hand. He was planning to buy some clothes for her, too. The clothes that he bought for her before were all sleeping clothes. He needed to buy more stuffs for her.

He went to the department store and bought her shorts, jeans, skirts, shoes, t-shirts, blouses, hoodies and other stuff that he thought would look good on her. In the whole afternoon, all he could think of was Cayenne's face. He needed to imagine if the clothes would be good for her thus; imagination was the key. As for her sizes, he didn't need to take the measurement. He had slept with her several times that he knew what her size was just from feeling her body.

Cayenne had no idea what Stefan was up to. She wanted to call him or send him a message but she was afraid to disturb her. She checked the time on her phone again and again, eager to come and find him soon. She still needed to talk to him about what her mother said to him this morning.

"Why don't you just call him instead of being restless in front of us." Kyle told his sister who was sitting on their small couch who kept looking at her phone. Their mother just fell asleep and they decided to watch a movie using Luiz's MacBook. However, she wasn't focusing on the movie at all.

Luiz also looked at her with a faint smile. "Just go and call him. If you miss him, you can even go and find him already."

'Miss him.' Cayenne blushed from this thought, making her bit her lower lip to stop herself from smiling like a fool. She never thought of these words before and she was certain that she didn't miss him. But now, it seemed like something was trying to escape from her chest – her heart.

'No way! I can't fall in love with him. It will only make things difficult. I need to keep in mind that we are just faking all these things.' She rose to her feet and walked to the kitchen. "There's no need to call him. I'll be meeting him later."

"How will you tell mom about that? I mean, you are not really working for him. So, will you tell her that you and your boyfriend are cohabiting?"

"Cohabiting?!" Cayenne asked with wide eyes.????????nr????????d. ????????????
