An Insecure Fox - Part 1/3
This is my first story and I'm absolutely loving it so far! Tell me what you think?This story follows Ethan, a cute arctic fox that's insecure about his weight, and how his relationship with his crush, a very handsome and proud lion that owns his own hair salon, progresses.- - - An Insecure Fox - Part 1 "And... You're finished! What do you think?" The tall, slim lion said proudly while resting one hand on his hip. The cute, chubby arctic fox gave a chuckle and said, "It looks great as always, Sam. Thanks!" "Glad you like it, Ethan." Sam replied with a smile. Ethan stood up from the squeaky salon chair and grabbed his wallet, after he admired his new haircut in the mirror. "How much do I owe you?" The chubby fox asked. "Well, today my most loyal customer walks home with a free, fabulous new hairstyle." "Seriously? Thanks so much! But I'll feel bad If I don't pay you." "No, I insist!" Sam winked at Ethan, and he blushed. "Well, can I take you out for lunch then? It'll be my way of saying thanks." Ethan gladly offered the tall, muscular lion. "Well, seeing as it is my lunch break, why not? But you should know, I eat a lot." Sam said while patting his toned midsection. "Really? You're so fit. I wish I could eat and not put on weight." Ethan's ears drooped. Sam walked over to Ethan and gave his gut a squeeze before saying: "I think you look cute with that belly." The cute fox was shocked and replied: "Uh, you do? I mean, uh..." Ethan nervously took a step back and tripping over his own feet, fell backwards knocking over a table of hair products. He could feel his face getting redder. The fox looked up and was met with the angry faces off the staff. Sam giggled and walked over to the blushing fox. Ethan took Sam's hand and he was pulled back up to his feet. While brushing his friend off, the lion said: "Don't worry, I'll pick everything up." "No, I'm fine, let me help." After the two finished cleaning up the mess, they went outside to Ethan's somewhat new car. "So, where are you taking me on our first date?" Sam asked. "Date? No, this isn't..." The handsome lion interrupted the still blushing fox, and hugged him while he said: "I'm just pulling your tail, don't be so nervous! I'm just another guy." "Yeah, sorry, it's just..." Ethan drooped his ears again. Sam giggled and said, "Don't worry big guy, let's go! I'm starving."- - - Continued in Part 2
