Chapter 113 - HIS GIRL SHOULD BE PAMPERED

Cayenne received the news from her brother and her eyebrow visibly rose with annoyance. She had been avoiding Arthur in the last five years, when he left, she was a little sad but being belittled by his mother was even sadder. And as the time went by, she lost her interest over him and she totally forgot that she once liked him.

Now, she's got Stefan, although their relationship isn't official yet, she didn't want to put her feet in two different boats. She wanted to be loyal to the person that her heart was beating for.

"What's the matter?" Stefan asked when he noticed that her mood turned low. He never wanted to see her sad. She had suffered a lot in the past and he didn't want her to suffer again while he's around.

Cayenne showed him the message that came from Luiz. His eyes darkened, he didn't say anything but his hand was rubbing her arms gently. "I don't know what Arthur is up to. He told me that he just sees me as friend and I'm not trying to be shameless here, however, he kept getting close to me even though I clearly told him that I don't want him to be spending so much time with us."

"Don't mind him." Stefan told her. He knew that Arthur hadn't given up on Cayenne yet but he will never give him the chance to snatch her away from him.

Cayenne pulled away from him and stood up. "We've rested enough. I'll go take a shower first."

"Okay. I'll be there in a while." He said he'll be there but his meaning was different from most people. He won't be taking a shower with her. He will come after few minutes and would mostly stay inside the room to wait for her.

Cayenne left and strode upstairs. She chose a large shirt and shorts this time since she was planning to stay at the beach in the afternoon. She'd like to feel the afternoon breeze later.

She didn't take so much time, after taking about for almost fifteen minutes, she came out with a towel wrapped around her head to absorb the excess water from her hair. Stefan was sitting on the ottoman chair at the foot of the bed while scrolling on his phone.

"I'll dry your hair for you." Stefan offered when he noticed her standing in front of the mirror but Cayenne refused him. 

"I'll be fine on my own. How about you go and take a bath?" Cayenne suggested. She didn't want him to think that she has too little care about herself and that she needed his constant help. But in Stefan's mind, women, even if they're sweet and knows how to take care of themselves, they still need to be pampered. Especially his girl. Cayenne always put herself in the bottom part of her priority list so, he'd make her his number 1 priority.

"I'll take a shower after drying your hair." He stood up and took the hair dryer from the cabinet. "Sit here." He pointed on the chair in front of the vanity mirror and unwrapped the towel to start blowing dry her hair.

When it was already damp, Cayenne took over to finish it. "Just go and wash up. I'm planning to check the beach later. I saw a hammock when I was picking flowers earlier. Maybe we can use it."

"That's a nice idea." Stefan agreed and gave the hair dryer to her. "Are you sure you'll be fine? You might feel sore from raising your arms for a long time."

"I'll be fine. Trust me."

"Okay. I'll take a quick shower."

Cayenne continued to dry her hair while watching her reflection in the mirror. The more she looked at herself the more she felt conscious. 'Do I look good in this?' She asked herself while checking her outfit. She was never the type of person who would be bothered with her clothes. She'll wear whatever she thinks is comfortable for her. But now, for the very first time, she wanted to look beautiful because there's Stefan. 'Forget it. He'll have to accept me as I am.' She told herself before turning off the hair dryer.

Stefan, on the other hand, was taking a long time inside the shower, even though he told her that he'd be quick. How can he be quick? He needed to release himself after several hours of control. Cayenne had been affecting him so much but he didn't want her to think that he was always driven by lust.

Although people said that he'd been changing women week after week, he actually didn't touch most of them. He just used them to make headlines and to annoy his parents or to at least get their attention. And if he did touch some of them, it was after drinking so much wine and after several fore plays.

Being affected while he was up and sobered, this only happens with Cayenne.

"God! I'm being tested." Stefan mumbled himself after releasing all his pent-up desires.

When he got out, Cayenne was no where to be found. He looked for her at the veranda but there was no sign of her. "Ayen?" he called for her name while rubbing the towel on his head. "Ayen?" He got out of the room with just a towel wrapped around his sexy waist. His V line was very tempting with droplets of water rolling from his neck down his chest and to his compact abdominal muscle, down to the secret place that he covered.

Cayenne was running upstairs when she heard him calling but when she saw him standing half naked with just a towel wrapped around his lower body, she suddenly stopped and turned around. "I'll be in the living room."

Stefan couldn't help but chuckle. She was walking down as quick as she could but he still caught sight her flustered face and red ears. "Cute." He spoke while walking back to the bedroom to put on his clothes.

In the living room, Cayenne was covering her nose with tissues. She couldn't believe that she'd get a nosebleed from a mere sight of his naked body. She though that people were just making exaggerations when they said that they'd get a nosebleed from seeing nude or naked people. Now, she experienced it firsthand.

She walked to the kitchen and washed her face and wiped it with clean tissue. She felt that her face was really hot and she felt dizzy from just imagining what she just saw.

Even though it was just a quick moment, her eyes were still quicker. She followed the trail of the water droplets down to his V line and to the hidden treasure. Thinking about it, she felt so embarrassed.

"Are you okay?" Stefan asked her. He was wearing floral shorts with a white shirt on top. Watching him walk towards her, she felt her face getting warmer again. "Do you have a fever?"

"No. I'm fine. Just give me a sec." She turned around and calmed herself by steadily breathing in and out.

Stefan knew what was going on with her but he didn't say anything. He was holding back his laughter while watching her back. "I'll go out if that makes you feel better. Just come and find me once you're done."

"I'm done." Cayenne hurried stated and spun around to look at him. "I'm all better now. Shall we go?"

"Sure." Stefan took two steps to shorten their distance and took hold of her hand.

The property that included the rest house was quite big. There fence around it to make sure that there will be no trespassers. The sea water was very clear and the sand was also white. There were many trees around the place so they weren't worried about the hot weather. Aside from that, it's already half past three in the afternoon. The sun was about to set in few hours so it wasn't very hot anymore.

"This place is great." Cayenne commented while breathing in the sea breeze. The sound of the waves calmed her heart and relaxed her mind. "I wish we can stay longer."

"Do you want to? I can call to make an extended vacation." Stefan told her, showing her his phone, which indicates how serious he was.

"Never mind." Cayenne waved his hand. "Christmas is near and it's better to spend it with families. Are you really not planning to come home during Christmas?"

"No."

"Your parents might ask you to come back."

"They won't. Anyway, if they would ever do that, they might be planning to introduce me to their chosen daughter-in-law. I don't like that. I don't want to have anything to do with them."

"I see. Well, I hope you'll still enjoy your Christmas with us."

"I'll have fun as long as you're with me." Stefan responded while kissing the tip of her nose quickly. "Let's sit over there." he led her towards the hammock that had each end tied around the coconut trees. It was the same hammock that Cayenne saw when she was getting flowers for their lunch.
