♤Baby, I'm marrying?!♤

|VI|

|Baby, I'm marrying?!|

They were in front of fat man who had decided he was too good for shirts.

Either that or he couldn't find his size...

He had something resembling leopard skin around his shoulders.

Hopefully, he was wearing something under too but Divine couldn't tell due to his prodding belly covering his lower rejoins as he sat down.

Trying to get that imagery out of her head, she focused on something else, which just happened to be his receding hairline.

Like damn, he's almost bald!

She continued starring, not minding that the man had noticed and was starring back at her.

What? If he has the audacity to send his goons to kidnap me and this buffoon... the buffoon being Ancient Divine. The least I can pay him back with is making him feel insecure!  She justified herself.

Adriel quickly bowed down, which made her confused.

He begging for forgiveness or sum'?

He used his side eye to look at her then commanded in a hushed tone, "bow before the chief, stupid."

That's his DAD?! Would've never guessed...

She awkwardly assumed his position also.

"Chief!"

"Hmm..." She muttered, syncing her voice with his and getting up when he did.

Chief nodded, "son, why exactly did my guards find a living space belonging to you, then you with this... woman...?"

Divine smirked, folding her arms. "Man needed his space." She coughed out.

Making AD shot daggers at her.

Not actual daggers, he just mugged her. And by 'mug' I mean 'stink eye' incase y'all been wondering.

"Pardon?" Chief directed his attention to her.

"Uh, nevermind her father, she's not from around here..." He stressed, looking at her sternly.

Making Divine look everywhere but him, scratching her elbow and tapping her foot on the floor, humming.

The chief started chuckling to himself. "Ooh, I see. You set up the house for her!"

"No!" He rushed, letting his detest for her get the better of him not reasoning his reply.

"No?" His father parroted. *

'*' there because parroted isn't a real word but you get...

"I mean... yes?" He said unsure.

His father smiled. "Look at you! Getting yourself a wife from another tribe! Cheeky boy's already built a home for her. Finally over that ... girl right my boy?" He got of his ancient throne, patting his son on the back.

Divine folded her arms, "the hell is ...? That birkin bitch? So you lied bout her?!"

"Oof- a jealous one," he whispered but was still audible. "Well you'll get used to it during your marriage."

"Marriage?!" They both chorused.

He clapped his hands. "Reading each others minds, how romantic! And yes marriage, you can't stay in the same house with her without being married." Chief stated.

"The wedding ceremony will hold on tonight!"

"Tonight?!" They gushed.

"I agree, too early, it'll hold on tomorrow! You may stay here for the night if you want." He smiled at Divine who stood speechless then walked out.

"Ugh! I can't be marrying this crazy woman!"

"Um you think I wanna be with you either?" She sassed. "And who's this ... chick by the way?"

He waved her off. "An old crush."

Sure... She rolled her eyes.

"Not enthusiastic bout marrying you either..."
