Chapter 170 - SHOWERING TOGETHER

The two of them went out on a date, playing the role of a student and a teacher. They had dinner together, shop for a little while to buy some clothes for Stefan that he can use in her apartment and they bought another batch of groceries and vitamins for her mother.

"It's been a while since we stayed back in your house. Would you like to sleep there for tonight?" Cayenne suggested. She didn't want him to think that she's being inconsiderate of his feeling specially that he's taken great care of her. "I need to water of the flowers, too. What if they're dead already? I remember the tulips you gave me and I don't want it to die."

"They won't die." Stefan responded. "Chris would drop by to our house with a cleaner every other day. The plants are doing fine. But I don't mind sleeping there tonight."

"That's it then." Cayenne smiled and gently squeezed his hand. "Let's just go home to inform my family."

"Okay." Stefan replied but Cayenne felt that there's a BUT after his words.

"Just say what you wanted to say." She told him to encourage him a little.

"Don't they think it's weird that you're dressed like that when in fact, you were dressed differently when we left the apartment?"

"But I don't have anyway to change my clothes now."

"Give me a minute." He slowed down the car speed and changed lane. When he found a spot with less car and less establishments, he stopped the car to park it at the roadside. "You can change here."

"Here?!" Cayenne asked in disbelief. "Won't anyone see me undressing here?"

"No, they won't. My car is tinted so they wouldn't know that you're changing your clothes. Besides, there aren't many people or car that passes by here."

"Then, can you turn around for me?"

"Sure." He agreed even though he knew that it was pointless. Her reflection can still be seen on the window. He didn't say anything and just watched her put on her dress. She folded the blouse and the skirt then placed them inside the paper bag.

"I'm done." Cayenne mentioned. "Should we get going now?" She noticed that his face was a little flushed under the light of his car. "Why are you blushing?" she questioned him but before he can answer, she already realized what has happened. "You were watching my reflection, weren't you?"

"I didn't." Stefan lied, keeping his eyes on the road. "I was just observing the street outside the window."

"Really?"

"Hn."

Cayenne just rolled her eyes. She knew that he was lying but obviously, he didn't want her to feel embarrassed. She didn't pursue the matter and just sat beside him while holding his hand with hers.

Not long after, they arrived at the apartment and brought everything upstairs. Kyle and Luiz arranged the groceries in the kitchen. Stefan brought his clothes inside the apartment and Cayenne went inside her mother's room with the vitamins. She needed to seek permission to leave the house. She thought it would be difficult to obtain her approval but it was rather smooth sailing. Her mother didn't ask her so many things.

"You're all set to go?" Stefan asked her when Cayenne came out of her mother's room.

Cayenne bit her lower lip and looked at him with a sad face. "My mother didn't allow it."

"Oh." His perfunctory reply made Cayenne raised her head to look at him. "Don't worry, we can just stay here. It's fine." He reassured her once again while caressing his thumb on her cheeks.

His reaction made Cayenne's heart felt warm. He was always so considerate of her. He would always put her on top of his priority. "I was just joking." She whispered and shifted her gaze to his ears. "Mama agreed for us to go back there."

And because she made a fool of him, she fell right into his trap. "How will you make it up to me? I was really worried here and you dared to make fun of me?"

"I…I…" Cayenne stammered while trying to find a way to escape his trap. "I'll think about it."

"Alright. Think about it and make sure to come up with a solution once we get there or I'll think of a solution myself."

"Hey, you're bullying me."

"Am I?"

"Fine. Fine. You're not. Don't just keep staring at me. It's getting late and we need to go there." She pushed his chest away from her so that she'll have space to move. She went to the kitchen and informed her siblings before leaving. "Make sure to call me if something happens." She reminded the two of them.

"Okie dokie." Kyle replied and Luiz just nodded his head.

After making sure that everything's fine, the two of them left the apartment to go back to their own love nest. The whole travel time was quiet. Stefan was focusing himself on the road while Cayenne thought of a way to make it up to him. She didn't really mean to fool him earlier. If she had known that it will be against her, she would never do it.

"You wash up first. I'll check the plants at the balcony." Cayenne told him the moment they arrived at their house. She was really worried for the pot of tulips that he gave her.

"Why don't we wash up together to save water?"

Cayenne stiffened at this suggestion and she couldn't bring herself to look at him. Her face turned red from being shy and her mind was wandering to a place that she wasn't supposed to visit. "Let's drop that idea."

"Why?"

"Because…because…"

"I remember you made a fool of me in the apartment and that you needed to make it up to me." Stefan cornered her right at the door of their room. She was pressed on the door while his hands were placed on each side of her shoulders. "So, what do you say?"

"Can we do something else?" Cayenne questioned him.

"The 'something' I have in mind, I don't think you can endure it."

"Are you going to bully me now that were not inside the apartment?"

"Hn. I will bully you until you scream my name." Stefan whispered close to her and even nipped the tip of her earlobes.

Cayenne trembled under his gesture and felt an incoming headache. "I don't think that is such a good idea." She whispered. "I know you can really do something like that but I am not ready so, I will just agree with the shower."

"Really?"

"But you can't do anything to me. I will really break up with you if you cross over the line."

"You will break up with me if I do something over the line?" Stefan's voice turned a little cold and chilling. He was looking at Cayenne with indescribable expression on his face. She can't really read him through but she wanted to express her opinion. She didn't want to become someone he can just push around.

"Hn. I'm serious this time. I don't want to end up like those girls you slept with. I don't want to give my virginity to you just because you're my boyfriend. We've talked about this before and you must have remembered it, right?" Cayenne continued to talk. She wanted to reach out to him and make him understand her point.

Stefan took a deep breath and sighed. He pulled her close to him and hugged her tightly while kissing the top of her head. "I won't give you the reason to leave me. I won't let you break up with me. I'm sorry."

"It's fine." Cayenne hugged her back and kissed the side of his jaw. "I'll take a shower with you." 

She got inside the bathroom with him and undress in front of his like it was nothing. And even though her back was facing him Stefan knew that she was blushing. The back of her neck and the tip of her earlobes were read.

"You should get used to this. We're getting married soon and all lovers in the world needed to take this crucial step." Stefan commented and led her under the shower head.

"Do they?"

"Yup."

"How did you know?" Cayenne raised her eyebrow and questioned her boyfriend. "You didn't ask every couple, did you?"

"No, darling. And besides, you can learn all these through movies."

"I don't watch movies that often. And speaking of movies, you told me you'd save a copy of Pirate of the Caribbean series."

"I have it in my laptop. When do you want to watch it?" He changed the water temperature and turned on the shower. The warm water fell on them like rain and Cayenne enjoyed it so much. "I just noticed."

"What?" Cayenne turned her back on him and poured a bath gel on her sponge. She was trying to avoid him even though they're inside the shower room together.

He approached her quietly and stood behind her. "I just noticed that you never looked at my whole body."

"Why should I look at your whole body?" she returned a question while keeping her back on him. Stefan held her shoulders and turned her around to face him. The smile on his face widened as he took hold of her right hand and placed it on his stiff and hard length.

"What are you doing?!" Cayenne pulled her hands away with wide eyes. Her already flushed face turned even redder. "You promised…you promised…ahhh! Turn around." She covered her face immediately when she caught sight of what was usually hidden underneath his pants or shorts. 'This size will surely kill me.'
