She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 99 - HES SORRY, SHES SORRY

Chapter 99 - HE'S SORRY, SHE'S SORRY

"Ayen, I didn't really mean to do it. You have to believe me." There was plea mixed in his voice but Cayenne remained rooted on the place she's standing, no movement or words. "Ayen, I don't understand why these things happen when we're getting along just fine. And it was not my intention to kiss you – no, that wasn't a kiss. Our lips just slightly brush. If I really kissed you, I wouldn't just caress your lips."

"Then, you really had a plan?!"

"Yes. I mean, No. I don't have any plan like that." Cayenne closed her eyes in irritation. She had no idea what she'll do this time. Her heart beat was still erratic and she even likes the feeling of his lips. Stefan looked at her, worried and pleading. "Can we talk about this later? I promise I'll accept any punishment that you'd give."

'This is crazy! I'm going crazy!' Cayenne screamed mentally while taking her hands off her face. This time, she was clutching her chest. "I'm not going to punish you but I will quit with my work next time this happens."

"Quit?" Stefan echoed. "You will leave me?"

"Hn."

'As if I'd let you do that.' Stefan thought internally. He's plans had been changing; from treating her warmly, to being cold, to being kind, to being harsh, to being sincere and to finally realizing this little feeling of love which was sprouting in his heart. He was still unsure if this was love but he wanted to find out the truth and to do that, he needed to absolve the current relationship they have. He will now give her freedom back. This will also serve as a test for him.

Cayenne had no idea what was in store for her future. What should happen will happen and all she can do was to accept her fate and that includes their parting.

After packing their things, Stefan didn't give her time to bath. He handed her a change of clothes to put on so that they can leave. She was changing inside the bathroom and thought that Stefan would be using the bathroom after her.

"Stefan, it's your-"

Who would have thought that he'd be changing in their bedroom while she was inside the shower? The words she wanted to say were pushed back down her throat from being surprised. Instead of screaming, she was stuck, looking at the half naked man in front of her. 'He's been exercising?' she asked herself while looking at his muscles.

His muscles were firm but not very bulky to the point of scaring her. He's got broad shoulder, lean waist and long legs. Cayenne explored his body with her eyes and found a very sexy V line and since his jeans wasn't buttoned yet, she took a peek of the place that she wasn't supposed to look at.

Her eyes traveled up to his face and she found that he was looking at her. Cayenne choked on her own saliva from being caught red-handed, staring at him with no inhibitions. "Don't say anything to me." She softly murmured and quickly fled out of the room. To hide her embarrassment, she could only pretend to be mad or upset. There's no way she'd admit that she liked what she had seen.

Back inside the room, Stefan let out a hearty laughter when she's out of the room. He heard her voice when she spoke earlier but when she suddenly stopped, he raised his head to see what made her stop. Never in his wildest dream, did he expect Cayenne to look at him with hot eyes. It was the very first time he saw that expression on her face. A look of amazement, curiosity and a little flustered.

Her red cheeks told him that she was surprised and embarrassed but her eyes didn't leave his body until their eyes met. He thought his heart stopped beating when he met her which was full of admiration. He waited for her to say something but she actually fled, leaving him standing alone in their room.

He couldn't hold back his laughter and now, he found another reason to tease her.

After ten minutes, he came down with the suitcase and her bag. Cayenne didn't look up. When she faced him, she kept looking down on the floor and received her bag without sparing him a glance. Stefan wasn't the least bit bother by it. He let her do what she wants and the two of them walked out with Cayenne following behind him.

"Stop following behind me." Stefan commented and even though she knew what he meant with his words, she didn't move an inch to catch up to him. "Stand beside me."

"I can't."

"Why not?" Stefan questioned. He stopped on his track and waited for her but she didn't move. "Come over here or I'll carry you to the garage. Which one do you want?"

She didn't need to be told twice to know which one was the better choice for her. "Sorry." She mumbled beside him as they waked to the garage where he parked his car. Earlier, he was the one who was apologizing to her and now, it was the other way around. Fate was really having fun playing with them.

"What are you apologizing about?"

"I'm sorry for staring at you. That was really rude of me."

"Did you hate what you see earlier?"

"No. Ah? I mean, I…uh…uhm…I was just admiring your handsomeness. Right. That's it. I knew that you're famous with women but I never thought you're handsome and your body was really…I…sh*t!" she couldn't help herself but curse right in front of him, not caring about his opinion of her? attitude. She was stammering and felt really nervous. She couldn't even understand what she was saying.

Stefan squeezed the back of her hand which he was holding. "If you don't hate what you saw, there's nothing to apologize."

"Is that so? Then, did you hate brushing lips with mine which was why you apologized?"

Stefan was stunned with her question. His eyes darkened and there was a swirl of desire in his eyes. Realizing what she just said, Cayenne face-palmed herself and decided to walk ahead of him.
