She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 78 - SLEEPING SEPARATELY

Chapter 78 - SLEEPING SEPARATELY

Stefan was disoriented for a moment. The look of surprise on his face didn't fade away and he was even touching his own lips. He could no longer taste the bitterness of the medicine tablet because all he could think of was the kiss that Cayenne gave him. It was truly a shock to him.

Turning his head, he found Cayenne kneeling on the floor with tears on her face. "Sir, I didn't really want to do it. I just want you to get better soon but you keep refusing the tablet. I had to do it for your own good. I am really sorry. I'm sorry."

"You are apologizing for suddenly kissing me, right?"

"Yes."

Stefan's surprised face turned dark and he looked really pissed off. "You didn't feel anything when you did it?"

"I was feeling scared."

"Scared?"

"Yes, sir."

Stefan waved his hand to dismiss her. "You stay in the living room this time. I don't want to see your face for now."

"Yes, sir." Cayenne left the room immediately while wiping her tears. She really thought that she'd have a nervous breakdown after doing it to him. She couldn't stop herself from crying due to her fear.

Stefan heard the door closed and he shifted his body to see the empty space beside him. "How dare she kiss me and tell me that she was afraid. If she was afraid she shouldn't have done that." His mind replayed the kissing moment again and again, making him blush. He had engaged himself in carnal acts but he never kissed any of the women. And Cayenne just took it away from him.

Stefan fell asleep after few minutes without Cayenne beside him. Although he fell asleep, he was still restless and he kept moving around.

In the first floor, Cayenne was making a rice porridge for him and a sandwich for herself. She had totally forgotten herself because of him. After cooking, she couldn't take a bath because Stefan didn't want to see her inside their room. Therefore, she slept in the living room without taking a shower or changing her clothes. She even forgot to bring a pillow and blanket when she got out.

This was the first time that the two of them slept separately.

Stefan woke up three hours later and found that Cayenne wasn't with him. His heart leapt up and his throat constricted. He was feeling nervous and scared. He got out of bed and checked if she was inside the bathroom but she was not. He checked her things and found her bag on the bedside drawer.

He went out of the room and found her sleeping on a couch in the living room. She was small already but she looked even smaller after curling her body to sleep. He jogged down the stairs and went to her side.

"Ayen?" he called her name softly while gently shaking her shoulder. "Ayen, wake up. Don't sleep here."

Cayenne stirred from her sleep and slowly opened her eyes. She rubbed her eyes to see things clearly and to wake herself completely. "Why are you out of bed?? Are you okay now? Are you hungry? I made a rice porridge for you. Wait a minute. I'll heat it up for you."

She wasn't looking at him when she spoke and she didn't wait for his response as well. She walked to the kitchen to prepare the porridge for him.

"Ayen, after I eat the porridge, please go back to sleep with me."

"It is okay for me to show myself in front of you, now? Are you not angry with me?"

"I'm not angry."

"Okay."

She's easy to talk to and she doesn't complicate things. She will follow whatever he instructs her to do as long as it's not overstepping her boundaries. Although she did something without his permission, she believed that she did it for his own good.

After heating the food, she gave him a bowl of it and a glass of water. "I'll stay in the living room. Just call me once you're done eating."

"Can't you stay with me here? Did you eat already?"

"I have eaten my fill already and it's better for me to stay out of your sight for a while. Don't worry, I'll go back to sleep with you."

Stefan watched her leave with heavy heart. Although she promised to go back with him, he felt that their relationship was getting sour. 'Did I do something that hurts her again? I'm pretty sure I didn't scold her.'

While he was busy eating and thinking at the same time, Cayenne went back to sleep in the living room. She felt really tired. As soon as Stefan finished eating his food, he washed the dishes and dried them, only to find Cayenne sleeping on the couch when he got out of the kitchen to call her.

'Now, I'm sure that I said something hurtful to her.' Stefan thought to himself while watching her sleeping face. He squatted down on the floor and tucked the stray hairs behind her ear. He caressed her face and smiled faintly. "I'm sorry."

Cayenne felt itchy on her face, when she scratched her face, she felt someone's hand. She opened her eyes and found Stefan watching her closely. "Are you done eating?"

"Hn."

"Let me wash the dishes first so, we can go to sleep."

"I washed it already."

"I see. Then, let's go back to bed."

"Won't you ask me why I was staring at you earlier?"

"No. I'm pretty sure you aren't thinking of anything bad so I'm not worried and I don't need to know."

Stefan held her hand and pulled her to stop. "Ayen, are we still okay?"

"Yes. Why?"

He scratched the back of his head while watching her. "I just feel that you are being distant right now."

"It's just your imagination." Cayenne responded. She smiled at him as if nothing happened between them. She wanted to forget the words he said as well. "Let's get inside?"

"Can I still hug you to sleep?"

"Hn."

Stefan stepped closer and hugged her. "Thank you so much for always forgiving me. I know I said something that upsets you but you still tried your best to make sure that our relationship won't get affected."

"I'm just doing my job. Getting scolded by an employer or receiving some hurtful words is just a normal occurrence. And we don't have any relationship."
