The Traps of the Black Swan

91

In the morning, Lisa woke up to the alarm when the early morning sun rays were hitting the glass wall penetrating inside the room causing him to squirt his eyes to adjust to the brightness and the sun rays falling on his face.

He opened his eyes to face the Little Cuddle Bun in his arms and smiled. Unbothered to the alarm which rang and the sun rays kissing her delicate skin, Ruby Jane was sleeping peacefully.

Seeing no dark circles on her petite face after a good long sleep, Lisa was sure his Cupcake doesn't need makeup anymore to hide her dark circles. She was so flawless he found no mark or pores on her skin but a radiant healthy glow that captivates the eyes of onlookers and makes them jealous.

Lisa gently poked her soft cheek as he admired the beauty.

Would she be the same confident if her scars hadn't healed? He wasn't sure if that matter to his Cupcake but he had never stopped taking care of her wounds and was also thankful for his grandfather Jordan for getting him the creams to heal her wounds and scars.

He couldn't forget how Jisoo had forced his grandfather to get the best medicines by using all his connection to get his Little Heart back the same. Probably even more beautiful and glowing.

Hence by the time Ruby Jane woke up from comatose, she had no scars on her face excluding faint marks on her limbs which eventually cleared.

But there was one scar that hadn't completely healed. The scar on her chest where the bullet had pierced and he had operated. He was able to lighten it but there was a pale scar when he saw it last time.

It has been more than one and a half years so he wasn't sure if she used the cream he had given her or the scar was still present.

"Ahhh..." Ruby Jane whined in the grievance for disturbing her from the sleep when his lips pressed on her cheek... Okay, little harder controlling himself from nibbling it.

Lisa tried to wake her up, "It's morning. Don't you want to exercise?"

Ruby Jane yawned against his chest before slightly opening her eyes to look at him, "Hmmm?"

Lisa assumed she didn't hear him properly due to grogginess and was ready to explain but Ruby Jane pinned him on the bed and went on top of him.

"..." He will have to kill himself if she seduces him early in the morning.

Should he get off from bed before waking her up? What if she wakes up early and wakes him up to seduce? Lisa's thoughts crazily ran when her soft upper body laid on him and his face covered with her hair.

Moving her hair away, he took time to realize she was reaching for the bedside table. He chided himself for letting his mind wander off early in the morning.

Feeling too lethargic to get up, Ruby Jane grabbed the remote controller of the electronic drapes and sighed flopping on Lisa.

Lisa doubted if she fell asleep when she didn't move for a few seconds and then she moved and pressed all the buttons to cover all the glass walls before the remote controller slipped from her hands to the floor on the Persian rug.

"I am tired now." She mumbled having no power to get back to the position or take the remote from the floor.

Lisa chuckled hearing her, 'Doozy.'

He understood Ruby Jane isn't an early bird, it was her nightmares that were keeping her awake. Now that she got sufficient sleep, he got to see her laziness more than her cat Laze.

He carefully pulled her back to position and heard her mumble groggily, "It's night again. Sleep."

"Huh?" Lisa's sleepy mood didn't catch her words right away.
