Around ten in the evening, the students started turning inside, took showers one after another and put on their sleeping clothes. Since it was their first night, they postponed the campfire to the second night of their stay. They wanted to wake up early tomorrow morning to watch the sunrise with their classmates.
It's not everyday that they get to stay in such a nice place with a very nice view. They needed to have fun and make memories as much as they could. In that way, they can leave the place with no regret later.
"You guys can chat and play a little while more but it's lights off at twelve, got it?" Rissy reminded her students while she was making her way back to the house as well.
"Got it teacher Chan." The students responded in unison.
Two guards also put up their tents at the beach in order to look after the students who stayed outside. At the same time, the house was remained open just in case they needed to use the bathroom or if they felt hungry in the middle of the night, they can just get food in the kitchen.
Cayenne and Stefan were both wide awake now because they slept earlier, even so, the two of them had no plans to get out of bed. Cuddled together under their blanket, the two were watching a rom-com movie to spend the night away. Cayenne placed the laptop on her lap while her back was leaning on her husband's stomach and chest. Stefan was leaning on the headboard with a pillow on his back and placed his chin on her shoulders while hugging her flat stomach. In this way, he can steal kisses from her and she can't do anything about it because the laptop will fall if she moves.
"Honey, stop kissing my neck. It tickles." Cayenne mumbled without looking at him.
Stefan stopped kissing her neck and now, he started kissing the base of her earlobe.
"If you keep kissing me, I won't be able to concentrate on the movie."
Stefan grinned and blew on her ears which made Cayenne shiver right in his arms. "I told you I'd be very energetic at night if you let me sleep in the afternoon. Now, how are you going to deal with me?"
"I don't plan to deal with you. I can't really knock you out, okay? Duh, just stay put and stop teasing me."
"But I can't help it. You're right in my arms and my body will react."
Cayenne rolled her eyes as she swatted his hands away from her. "Go deal with it yourself."
"Why are you being heartless now? Didn't we just have our romantic dinner?"
Cayenne didn't know what to do with him at. He really knew when to exploit her weakness and it always made her give in to him. "We had a romantic dinner because I want to make it up to you for leaving you suddenly earlier. It's not like we had it in preparation for a passionate love making. So, just give up because I won't give in to you tonight."
Seeing that she was determined to ignore him, Stefan raised his hand and made a surrender hand gesture. This time, he really stopped teasing her and just watched the movie together with her. However, the movie wasn't even halfway when Cayenne noticed her shoulder felt heavy.
"See? When you're not thinking with your lower body, your exhaustion will still take over your body." Cayenne mumbled as she closes the laptop. She moved Stefan's head away from her and gently leaned him on the headboard before prying his hands away from her waist to get out of the bed.
Sensing his empty arms, Stefan was jolted awake and he instantly looked around to find his wife. Cayenne noticed it, too. Her heart ached for him with his lack of security. "I'm just putting the laptop back inside the drawer." She told Stefan who was still looking restless at her.
He just looked at her without saying anything and Cayenne moved faster as well. She closed the drawer immediately and climbed back to the bed to stay with him.
All this time, she thought that it was just her who was feeling insecure because he has achieved so much and has many properties while she had nothing at all to give back. It turned out Stefan, was just insecure as her but it was for a different reason.
Cayenne kissed his lips and wished him good night while hugging him.
But Stefan didn't go back to sleep. "Ayen?"
"Hn?"
"I'm not having a beautiful long dream, am I?" Stefan whispered with a slight trace of fear and anxiety. His voice sounded lonely as well.
"What do you mean by that?" Cayenne lifted her head to look at him but Stefan placed his chin on top of her head to stop her from seeing his expression. "Are you afraid that I'm not here when you wake up, again?"
"Hn."
Cayenne hugged him tightly and kissed his Adam's apple. "Can I sing you a song?" Cayenne asked.
"Okay."
"Tomorrow mornin' if you wake up, and the sun does not appear, I, I will be here… If in the dark we lose sight of love, hold my hand and have no fear, 'Cause I, I will be here… I will be here when you feel like bein' quiet, when you need to speak your mind - I will listen and I will be here,when the laughter turns to cryin', through the winnin' and losin' and tryin', we'll be together…Cause I will be here…" Cayenne sang this song softly like a lullaby instead to comfort her husband in her arms. She just continued to sing until Stefan fell asleep once again.
'Stefan, I don't many riches like you. I'm not wealthy. I'm not sophisticated and I am not elegant like any other women you've been with. But if my presence gives you comfort, I will stay with you until we grow white hair and lose our teeth. I will only be with you.'
