The Traps of the Black Swan (Book 2)

228

Instead of letting his Cupcake follow him around, Lisa was teasing, disturbing, talking, and playing with her in the flower shop.

Ruby Jane was tired of shooing away Lisa's admirers. To avoid the ogling eyes, she removed his blazer and then his vest, but it seemed like she was giving a better chance for women to gawk at his physique. She had to repeat questions to the customers when they would be savoring Lisa, who would be gracefully helping her out.

She had sold the whole day's turnover of the flowers in just two hours as the women were entering the shop looking at him. And she noticed the male customers were even afraid to lift their gaze at her due to Lisa.

She was cupping her face sitting at the counter with a big pout of her lips. Now she understood why people say having a good-looking man could bring both happiness and trouble.

She was confident Lisa can't be stolen away from her. The trouble was bearing those ogling eyes on your boyfriend. Not to mention, her boyfriend was too attractive and flawless in whatever he did.

Lisa stood in front of her at the other side of the counter.  He knew what was going on in her mind when she removed his blazer and vest, followed by his tie. With his elbow on the counter, he pecked on her forehead and hid his smile, seeing her eyes brighten up and lips curling up.

"Did you forget I wanted to tell you something about Seungri?" He asked, pulling another bar stool to sit in front of her.

The pout of her lips returned. "I do remember." She hadn't forgotten his words or how concerned he was about the topic. "But his topic is such a mood off when we are together."

"Mood!?" Lisa mused when his dirty mind shamelessly recalled their intimate night.

Ruby Jane innocently hummed, having no idea about his thoughts. Supporting her elbows on the counter, she pushed herself front to reach his face. Her lips grazed his nose tip and pouted again for Seungri's topic.

There was nothing good to talk about Seungri. Despite that, Seungri's name was enough to ruin their good mood.

Lisa flicked on her forehead while looking at her, leaving her weight on her elbows as her legs were in the air, "Sit back..." He suddenly paused. He never calls her Cupcake, yet that nickname always stays on his lips.

Ruby Jane noticed his pause. It wasn't the first time she was taking note of it. In the past, she used to think he wanted to be careful while speaking with her or avoid picking any unnecessary conversation.

Later, Ruby Jane got to know that Lisa is the teenager of her dreams. She deduced he avoids calling her 'Cupcake' because he feared it might forcefully remind her of the past. She probed, "Cupcake?"

His pupils slightly widened before it registered to his mind that she is slowly remembering their past, excluding his face. His gaze softened before he nodded, "You like it?"

Ruby Jane nodded vigorously, "I like cupcakes you bake, and you love your Cupcake." She beamed, thinking of the cupcakes.

Lisa: "...."

He wasn't talking about the cupcakes. He twisted Ruby Jane's ear as he descended his stool to make her sit instead of hurting her arms. He scolded her, "I am talking about the nickname." He snorted grumpily, "No more cupcakes for you."

Ruby Jane sulked for a second before her eyes shone slyly and threw his line back, "No more Cupcake for you."

Lisa's brow slowly raised at her words. A mischievous glint flashed in his eyes. Extending his hand to reach her little face, he lifted her chin with his forefinger, and his deep voice was enticing, "I will have my Cupcake, anyway."
