Kitsune: Bride Of The Nine Tailed Fox- Book 1

Chapter 3

The next day at work Quinn came to visit. He ordered two sandwiches one for him and one special for Marg. Margo always liked her sandwiches a weird way even when she was a kid. Mayo with Salome, black forest and regular ham, that sandwich sause, with a single piece of turkey, two thick tomatoes, no lattice, on Italian, not toasted and a side salad of lattice and pineapple. Quinn got it down to a T. Quinn only got ham on just regular wheat but I never seen him eat it. In fact I've never seen him eat much of anything really.

While I checked him out I asked "quinn? Why don't you ever eat?" He looked up at me, his eyes a firing oak brown. He smiled as he pulled out his card.

"Well.. I do, it just takes me a while since I tend to eat in small portions" this answer was a lie but I just shrugged and gave him back his card with a receipt and he unwraps his sandwich from its plastic and takes a big confident bite. This takes me back a little as he smiles and winks. He waves as the sandwich hangs from his mouth and I watch him leave.

It happened that way for about two weeks. Quinn would buy her lunch and we would small talk. I found out from margo that Quinn was an only child and that his mother passed at a very young age and his father was MIA. This info however did not change the way I felt it just made me feel bad. If it was true that is. Marg informed me however, that he hates talking about his personal life. One weekend they both came in together. Her smile was so wide when she was with him it honestly made me smile seeing her happiness. I loved margos smile, it was honestly the best thing about her. Well beside her herself. Margo was always the lovable one. Loved and liked by all she encountered. It's no surprising that she got married before me. Mother, grandmother and our aunt predicted so. Me on the other hand was an outcast since birth and not my families golden child, no matter how much they protested otherwise. I was the one that was stubborn and silly. While Marg was serious and determined. Mother often said I picked up my habits from dad which is more of an insult then a complement. I'd never met him but the way mom would always rant and carry on about him that he wasn't so nice. Or serious about anything. Which isn't me.

"Is it your lunch break yet" I was pulled out of my thoughts by Quinn who eyed me quizzically. I looked at them both and then at the time. He was right. Like dead on right.

"Oh Chi, come sit with us pleeease" Marg smiled and I melted giving in and sitting across from Quinn. I eyed him as his hands laced with hers lovingly. He playfully danced with her fingers and she giggled sweetly trying to hide her enjoyment.

After they were done she looked up at me. Resting one hand underneath her head as her hair fell perfectly in her face. She smiled at me as she moved strands of hair from my face back to my ear.

"How are you chi?" She spoke her voice sweet and full of love.

I choke a little on the words but I smile dispite my discomfort.

"I'm okay.. okay" She smiles at the response i was not so confident about and looks to quinn and smiles even wider as she turns back to me.

"So" She begins holding back a smile as she bit the bottom half of her lip. "We want a private wedding, no guest. .. and I want you to be my maid of honor. Will you do it?" She was excited but contained a great deal of it because of my reaction.

What? A private wedding!? Maid of honor? No guest!? Oh mother's going to have a fit.

"Chi?" I look up to see her face gone of life. She wasn't smiling and looked concerned for me. "Are you okay?" She says cautiously as she lays a hand on my shoulder. The only thing I managed was something we both didn't want to hear.

"Mom's gonna kill you"
