Thread: Mail Order Husband [East and Lagertha]

Bosede knew some english, it was true. Afterall, her father was American and even then he still had trouble speaking Arabic from time to time. She listened to him, as he spoke her full name, her brows furrowed. Babes was holding her shoulders, almost jumping up and down from the thing she had done. She thought she had done good for her daughter, helped her find a mind she liked, but they were both about to learn the truth. The contract came out, papers and she gave him a confused glance. Though, he presented them to her, and it was his words next that made her lips split before she grabbed the papers. More like, she yanked them from his hands. Her mother looked own over her shoulder, as Bosede flipped through what she could read. No, she did not know much English, but she knew more than her mother. Oh, that was just some document I needed to sign online for your date. Aren't you excited? He's so handsome! Babes clapped her hands with a big smile, but Bosede glared at her. Mama! Bosede yelled, turning towards her mother and slapping the papers on her hip. These are not papers to date someone! Bosede lifted them up, wavering them in the air, she was angry. This man says he is my husband! Bosede crie, and her mother looked at her horrified. No..you are lying! Babes shook her head. No! This is a contract for my hand! He gave you money? Mama! He gave you money for me! Bosede advanced on her mother, they were screaming in arabic at one another. She flailed her arms, and her mother held her own in front of her face. There must be a mistake! Lemme see! Babe ripped the papers out of Bosede hands, tearing some and half. A grunt came from the girl as some of the pages fell down on the dirt. Babes looked over them as Bosede rolled her eyes. It's English, Mama. You can't read! The papers came down that she held in her hand, swatting at her mother. Babes made a twisted disgusted face. Did he give you money for me? Bosede growled. Her mother's smiling face still, terror striking it, but she was silent as if afraid to tell. Mama.. Bosede's voice cracked, eyes teary. You weren't that dumb were you... We should...wait for your father to get home. He could talk to him maybe.. Babes was whispering now, trying to still herself and her daughter who was ready to break down. Bosede turned away from Kyle, grabbing the bowl full of eggs and flinging it on the ground breaking them all. ..he'd be able to communicate better than us..maybe talk the man out of it. Babes was silent as Bosede sniffled. She waited a few moments as her daughter slammed her fist against the table a few times. Bang. Bang. Bang. Her fist went, making the woman jump. Can you...Tell him we need to wait for your father? Babes finally said after a moment. You want me to talk to the man you sold me to? Bosede retorted. Babes only nodded her head. Bosede rubbed her face, at least her back was to the strange man. She could not believe her mother. First..tell me you did not spend the money.. Babes was silent, and Bosede sighed as she rubbed away the snot collecting on her nose. She breathed in deeply. Mama..says wait...for Papa. Bosede spoke the english crudely, as best she could. It was slow, drawn out in very long pauses. It was clear the girl was not fluent in the language. Only knowing very miniscule amounts.
