The Traps of the Black Swan (Book 2)

313

When Ruby Jane regained her consciousness, she felt a warm hand holding hers. At the movements of her fingers, the hold tightened and Lisa's soothing voice reached her ears, "Cupcake, you are awake? Are you feeling unforgettable? Any headache?"

Ruby Jane didn't want to open her eyes. If she was asleep for the whole night, she wouldn't be able to accept it and she didn't know how she would treat Lisa. She felt her heart weighing down recalling what he did to her.

There are also Jisoo and Mino. She knew Jisoo needed her and Mino. He might be in danger if Seungri had attacked him. She didn't know if she would be able to forgive Lisa.

"Cupcake?" Lisa's fingers glided over her cheek and cupped her face, waiting for her to wake up.

There was sudden turbulence and Ruby Jane groaned when a sharp pain hit her head. Before she could think anything other than the pain, She felt Lisa leave her hand and pulled her to his embrace. "Hang on. We are landing now... "

Ruby Jane's eyes shot open hearing 'we are landing.' She pulled herself away and stared at his worried eyes. "I- I didn't sleep all night?"

Lisa cupped her head, as though he could avoid uneven air movement effects while landing, "All night? It's an hour flight."

Ruby Jane's lips gaped, realizing she thought too much just because he apologized. She understood his sorry was for putting her to sleep without letting her think while they are on the airtime. The pain in her head was enough to tell about the headache Doctor Wells was speaking and Lisa was worried.

However, Ruby Jane burst into tears, throwing punches at him, "You scared me..."

Esme, Milo Wen, and Roach who were in the front seats turned behind and witnessed Ruby Jane crying pitifully. Behaving like any other normal girl. Since it wasn't the kind to be crying over grievous, they looked away, letting them handle themselves.

Ruby Jane sniffled, adding, "If you had told me, I would have listened to you. I-I thought you wanted to keep me away..."

Lisa hadn't expected she would misunderstand and realized why she was crying before falling unconscious. He wanted to tell her but he had no time to coax her as the flight was on the runway and she was busy over calls. And to coax her, Ruby Jane would definitely say, she could handle it as it was important for her to think about the situation.

Anyway, they needed no argument. He lifted the armrest between them and pulled her to his embrace. "I will keep that in mind, Cupcake..."

Ruby Jane hummed and whimpered, "My head aches. Hold me."

If he hadn't cared about her feelings but just health, Ruby Jane knew he could have really put her to sleep till morning. She felt like a fool when he always did what she wanted.

"Why did you sedate me instead of giving me medicine?" She asked as she sniffled, trying to look at his face from his embrace.

Lisa felt a twist in his heart looking at her eyes red, filling with tears. "The medicine will put you to sleep. It will keep you drowsy for a minimum of four hours." He never took her health lightly. He had medicine for her headache as they were on the road and sea for the whole Sunday.

She knew he would consider every possibility. Burying her face in his embrace, "I am sorry, I shouldn't have thought negatively." She apologized for letting a misunderstanding lead her emotions by recalling Jordan's actions.

Lisa caressed her head. "No, I should have told you clearly. It wasn't your mistake."

Ruby Jane shook her head. She should have just asked him instead of assuming anything. Since she was afraid to hear it was overnight dosage, she felt it had both of their mistakes.
