MY RUBY JANE

3

A/N: Triple update because why not?

Also I wish our Lili the best and fast recovery. BLINKs be full of love. I am happy that our JenChuChaeng are all negative, and I hope it stays that way. I miss them all and I hope we all can see them on a comeback stage soon when everything is better. BUT let's also have more patience ❤️

LISA'S POV

We both get off at 6pm and usually both get home by 6:30, maybe 7pm if traffic isn't too crazy.

I look at the clock...

7:37pm...

Lisa...it's okay. Maybe her side had a bit more traffic.

I call her and no answer...

I prepare the dinner I ordered. I got your favorite from the Thai Restaurant that you always use to ask me to buy food from. I light the candles and place petals on the floor and in the bedroom. I put your favorite wine on ice and I sigh while I look at the clock.

8:24pm...

She forgot...

No Lisa. It's just traffic.

I call her again. No answer.

She forgot...

She loves me though...

She...

FOR JISOOS SAKE LISA! SHE FUCKING FORGOT AND SHE DOESN'T FUCKING CARE ABOUT YOU ANYMORE.

I take the wedding ring and promise ring, and leave it on the table. I left a note saying I'm done. I blow out the candles and I grab my keys. I drive again and I don't know where I'm going.

I told her I didn't cheat. I told her that it was a misunderstanding. I know walking into my office seeing a woman on her knees by my desk doesn't look right, but if she fucking came and look. It was a ex-clumsy secretary that dropped my lunch onto my lap.

I ran after her, but she got away. I went back to my office to change and fired that secretary. After changing I went everywhere to find her. Hours upon hours trying to find her.

I find her at the last place I thought of looking. At home and I hear her on the phone with someone.

Him.

But I'm done. It's over.

...

I drove into the city again and I see the flashing light of CLUB ENCHANTMENT. I feel like I've been here before but I don't remember. I haven't been in the city in forever. I usually just go to the bar down the street of where my place is at.

I hand my keys to the valet.

I walk through the double doors. The smell of booze, smoke and sweaty horny men fill my nostrils.

"Back so soon?" I look at the women in a business suit and clipboard.

"Excuse me?"

"Right. You got hella drunk the other night. Probably don't remember. I'm Jisoo. Club owner. And you are Manoban. You booked my most expensive VIP room for yourself last time you were here. Seemed like you wanted to forgot something or someone. Same feeling now?"

I look to her, hand my black card and nod.

"Give me the best."

"Right this way Manoban. Front row to the show, and a private show for later."

She walks me through the crowd of horny men hooting and hollering to the beautiful ladies who were already on stage. She unlocks the velvet rope to my spot right in front of the stage.

"Just your luck. I have the best performing tonight. Pick who you would like for a private show later."

"Thank you."

"My Pleasure Manoban. Enjoy the night. May I add...don't accept any of these horny men's dank drugs like last time. I feel like you really need to enjoy and you'd actually want to remember the night." She winks at me and walks to the back stage.

Last time? When was I ever here last time?

Maybe she just remembered someone that looked like me, but she knew my name. I shrug it off and pick a new bottle of bourbon, and poured myself a glass.

...

The club owner introduces the women one after the other. Still haven't decided who I want for a private show. Probably because I'm still hung up on Yerin. I am one bottle of bourbon deep. I'm trying not to go crazy.

Incoming call Yerin ❤️...

I look down at my phone. It's 10:15pm and she only calls me now.

She calls again and I'm tempted to answer.

"Last but very not the least. Our main event of the evening...CLUB ENCHANMENT'S favorite...Ruby Jane." Jisoo introduces.

All the horny men yelling even louder than before. Already tossing their bills into the stage. The lights dim and red lights brighten the stage. A thin smoky fog dust the stage floor.

I turn my phone off and place it into my pocket.

A silhouette of a woman behind the thin curtain appears.

Then a voice speaks.

"You can look..." The body of the silhouette bends over.

"But you can't touch." The woman drops down with her legs wide open.

Well...Fuck.

"I'm the shining star in the dark night."

The thin curtain drops and Damn this woman is sexy as fuck. All the men are yelling and whistling.

Shut the fuck up. Annoying...

"Ruby Jane." She says as slides down the pole.

"Lisa...mmm..." That voice...

I...

I want her.
