The Traps of the Black Swan

180

Lisa cupped Ruby Jane's face when she was silent for a long time and snuggled with him as though she was trying to merge herself with him.

She smiled facing him, it couldn't be more genuine. Her body had relaxed in his arms, her eyes had arced to beautiful crescents, she had a pink glow and her lips were in a soft attractive smirk.

Rubbing the slightly damp corner of her eyes, "Don't cry. No need to think of the past."

Ruby Jane: "..."

She had rubbed the dropped tears on his T-shirt but the man still found it. Humming to his words, "I want to tell you something." Her sweet voice was melodic.

Lisa noticed blush creeping up her face so he doubtfully raised his brows while her eyes looked anywhere but his eyes. Her finger circled on his chest and again buried her face on him getting away from his eyes.

'Is she going to profess?' He thought by seeing her all shy.

It's normal to be nervous for the first love confession.

Pulling her away from his embrace, "Let me hear." He acted all cool but failed to hide the excitement away from his eyes. He still craved to hear her profess.

Ruby Jane didn't want to say it out loud, so she went to his ears to whisper. Lisa's arms naturally wrapped again when she closed up and anticipated for her to utter those three words.

Her soft voice was barely audible, "We will be late." She grinned when she absolutely knew he was expecting something different.

Lisa: "..."

At this rate, he doubted how long he had to keep expecting and she would play him. 'Such a heartless little woman.'

Ruby Jane held it in until she faced him and burst into laughter looking at his narrowed eyes. Her punishment is such a tease and fun. He pinched her slinky waist until she cried in pain and stopped laughing at him.

Pouting for the pinch, "We should get ready, I want to meet Lara before the banquet." She was getting away from his arms but he pulled her back to his arms.

"Did you forget we are in Skyarc?" He asked her as he went back to cuddle her a little longer.

Right, she had forgotten it. They could save so much time being in the city and give that time to each other.

'But I miss my swing.' She thought. She still liked the JL mansion, it was perfect for her every need where she never felt foreign.

The greenery around the mansion with fresh air, spacious, and glass walls for natural sunlight. Big backyard with tall trees that had a huge swing bed which she can't have in the penthouse, the vast pool with artificial waterfalls, lounges around it with the summer kitchen.

It was so perfect that she feels like the mansion was built just for her after asking her likes. Remembering the culprit because of whom she was uneasy to live there for time being, she supported herself on her elbows to face Lisa.

Lisa opened his eyes when she declared sternly, "I will meet grandfather." She didn't want to trouble Lisa with her grandfather's pester.

Lisa wanted to say something but controlled after seeing her seriousness. Ruby Jane continued, "I didn't want to meet my parents ever but now I want to torture them." She sounded certain and determined.

She was expecting him to be uncomfortable hearing she was going to torment her own biological parents but he smiled. "May I be of any help?" He offered.

Ruby Jane stared at him, Lisa gave a lot of respect to family relations so it was really surprising for her to see him support her without a silver line of disappointment.
