Chapter 22: GETTING CLOSER I

After eating, Cayenne washed their dishes while Stefan went upstairs to take a shower first. 'I must have made her feel bad earlier. There's no way she'd cry for no reason.' Stefan thought while feeling the warm water touching his skin. Not long after, Cayenne finished washing the kitchenware and she also decided to go upstairs.

She needed to wash up after him since Stefan had been making sure to sleep before ten in the evening. Before, getting a wink of sleep was the hardest thing for him to achieve. This time, he would always look forward for the clock to strike nine in the evening because it was his time to sleep.

Cayenne washed up as quick as she can to make sure that her employer won't be sleeping late because of her. After washing up and changing her clothes, she climbed on to the bed where Stefan was already waiting for her. "We still have few minutes before nine, do you have anything else to do?" Stefan asked her. He was sending a message to Chris, reminding him to be early tomorrow morning since Cayenne still needed to leave for hospital. She had to visit her mother with her siblings.

"I'm fine. I have reminded my siblings what to do already. I won't have any issue for tomorrow's visit."

"Alright then." Stefan put down his phone and started to find the most comfortable position on the bed. "Can I hug you again?"

"Hn. Same drill. I'll punch you if your hands would start to wander." Cayenne reminded him.

"Yes, ma'am." Stefan moved closer and hugged Cayenne. Her warmth would always comfort him and he liked the feeling of her supple body pressed against his.

Cayenne watched the big man in her arms sleep peacefully. It was her job to make sure that he's sleeping and so far, she could say that she was doing a great job.

The two of them sleep unguarded. Stefan felt that she was harmless which allows him to sleep without any worries. Cayenne felt that Stefan will never break his words which makes her sleep without being afraid. The two worried soul, when together, they tend to warm up to each other and forgot their worries at all.

The next morning, Chris arrived early and he brought them food as well. Stefan was the first to wake up so he took a shower ahead of her and went downstairs to open the door for Chris. It wasn't until it was almost eight in the morning did Cayenne wake up.

"Oh my gosh! Did I sleep that long again?! I will be late and my brothers will worry for me." She mumbled while hastily taking her towel and her change of clothes. She acted as fast as she could and she ignore the fact that Stefan just came inside and saw her acting all messy and panicky.

"Don't be hasty. You might slip off the floor and fall." Stefan reminded her before going out again. He wanted to wake her up but, seeing her walking in haste, he knew that there's no need to. "Come to the kitchen once you're done. You need to eat before leaving."

"Yes. I understand." Cayenne responded without looking back. She closed the bathroom door and took off her clothes to start bathing. Due to her anxiousness, she forgot to change the temperature of the shower and ended up taking a cold bath. She was used to it though so, she didn't think of it as unusual. In their apartment, there was no warm bath. If it's during cold season, you can only bath with cold water. If it's summer, you can still bath with cold water. If you want something warm, you need to boil it using the small heater in the kitchen or use a kettle to boil enough liter of water to mix with the cold water on the pail.

She changed her clothes the moment she was done and wrapped the towel around her head before going out to find Stefan in the kitchen. Chris was sitting on the couch in their living room. "Morning, Cayenne." He greeted her which Cayenne returned with a warm greeting as well.

"Morning, Chris. Thank you for sending us food again."

"No worries. Sir Stefan asked me to buy some to make sure that you won't leave with an empty stomach."

"I see. I'll go and see him now." She walked towards the kitchen after talking to Chris for a few minutes.

"Aren't you going to dry your hair first?" Stefan questioned upon seeing the towel on her head. He also noticed the goosebumps forming on her exposed arms. "Did you bath with a cold water?"

"Is that bad? I'm used to bathing with cold water, though."

"Never mind. Just have a seat so we can eat." Stefan placed a glass of milk in front of her and he sat on his chair as well right after Cayenne. "Don't forget to call me in the afternoon so, I can pick you up and buy groceries with you."

"Okay."

"Make sure to wear a thick jacket when you go to the hospital. It would be troublesome if you catch a cold."

"Hn. I'll remember that."

The two of them ate their food and Cayenne was quick with her actions because she need to leave as soon as possible. "Slow down. You might choke if you eat that way." Stefan reminded her.

"But I will be late."

"Which one would you like, choking yourself to death or just being late?"

Cayenne slowed down when she heard his question. "Why didn't you wake me up when you woke up?"

"I assumed that you were tired from all the work. You didn't tell me the exact time you are leaving as well. I even thought you set an alarm to wake you up."

His words made sense and she felt annoyed with herself. "My siblings must be worried about me." Cayenne mumbled after eating all her food. "Anyway, thank you for the breakfast. I will leave now."

"Dry your hair first."

"I will." Cayenne responded while walking away from him. Stefan just watched her disappearing back and let out a sigh. 'She's so uptight.'
