Enchanted, Enchanting | David Dobrik

Part Eleven

He's gone before she wakes, her alarm reminding her of her appointment for later today. Quinn's nose scrunches at the taste in her mouth and makes a move to the bathroom for her toothbrush. Saturday's are always her least busy days but also her favorite.

Locking the door behind her, Quinn knocks on Rosa's door and smiles at Marco who announces Quinn is here. "Mom is making strawberry pancakes today." He says over his shoulder and plops back down on the couch to continue watching cartoons.

"Sounds delicious."

Rosa grins at Quinn entrance into the small kitchen, pouring pancake mix carefully into the heated pan. "Morning mija. I see he was over again today." At Quinn's curious glance, she explains. "I was putting the trash out this morning, when is he never in a hurry?"

Quinn blew out air from her noise, "I wish I knew. His schedule is pretty full from what I've seen. He's got a meeting tonight he's preparing for."

"What are you doing tonight? Are you free for a movie night?"

Quinn's shoulders slump slightly. "Unfortunately no. I've got an appointment later today, it may run longer than the scheduled end time."

"Do you get paid extra?"

"Of course. This client never disappoints, meaning I can make it up to you guys with watching the new Avengers movie." Quinn smiled widely, waving her hands for effect.

Rosa widens her eyes, "Is that out already? Goodness you're a life saver. Marco has been wanting to see that since the trailer released."

"David went to the premiere and promised it's suppose to be good."

Quinn see's a hint of a smirk on Rosa's lips while she flips the pancake over perfectly. "How late do you two stay up to talk?"

"I don't know." Quinn's eyebrows scrunch together, "I never really looked at the time."

Rosa hums and calls for Marco to come eat, signaling Quinn to help with the setting before the young girl could think too much into it. Right now is the time for Rosa's amazing pancakes.

"What do you think?"

Quinn surveyed the area around her in interest. Lights of a deep colored purple and pink ran over the room slowly with steady music playing loudly enough to hear on the second floor.

It's an intimate, cozy setting for couples and singles. The scene differed from the other clubs and she knows that's what this club owner, her client, is going for. Quinn nods appreciatively, "It looks amazing Stefan. It's come a long way."

Stefan beams at her praise and leads her to the second floor, where the meeting will take place. He hired her for eye candy for his clients knowing how to please and distract them enough for deals. It was an easy job, just sit and look pretty.

Thanking him for holding the sheer curtains aside, Quinn made herself comfortable in the plush booth and took the time to fix her appearance. Stefan slides in on the other side to take his spot on her left. Taking out the small cloth he keeps in his pocket, Stefan wiped the beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Quinn's face softened at the man's nervous jitters. "It'll be okay." She spoke with a reassuring smile that calmed him slightly.

"He's young. I have no doubt he will notice you, hopefully that pushes my deal more in his favor." Suddenly, he straightens and stands as the curtains part to let in his client.

Quinn's body goes ridged as the air leaves her. 'Why are you here?' His usual playful brown eyes are now showing confusion once they land on her and she wants to hide. Darting her eyes away, Quinn studies the table cloth and the stitching that embroidered the company's name in bright red that matched the color flooding to her cheeks.
