Falling In Love With A Mail Ordered Bride ch. 2
Today is the day I am to met my intended and I am quite because I am going into this engagement partially blind as I have some as to what my future wife is like but that is only because Mr. Smith described her to me although I cannot be sure how accurate this description is. For all I know is that this Anna person is a great person in front of other while being a manipulative monster behind close doors as this is making me wish that Mother was here with me to guide me through but she is no longer of this world. She was a warm and kind-hearted woman with hair that would make the run envious that she would keep in an intricate bun, eyes of sapphire jewels, a brilliant smile who give the warmest hug that would warm me from my toes to the top of my head.
I ran through the large crowd of people bare-footed as I searched for the one person that I am looking for with my single braid flapping in the wind when I turned the corner into the market place. I liked coming here because of Mother was always able to talk her way into getting the occasional loaf of fresh bread from the baker man and I would see the kids running after each other, laughing and playing with each other. I saw Mother talking with Doctor Weaseltown who's the main doctor who everyone goes to when they're sick but I don't like him because he smelled funny and looks like a peacock as he's too tough when he gives shots. She pleaded with him but he doesn't look like he cared one way or another as his eyes glazes over for a moment. Mother has spoken to the doctor for a couple of weeks now about her cold but he has not done anything about it expect telling her to come back another when he is not busy before he goes inside, slamming the door in her face. I walked up to, tugging on the hem of her dress as she turned her attention towards me, smiling brightly as she scoops into her arms and kissed me on my forehead.
"Hello, my precious butterfly"
"Mama, is the quack going to make you better?"
"Oh my, who taught you such language?" Mother asked shocked voice.
"I heard father call him that when he was talking to one of his friends. He did not know that I was on the top step at the time" I said shrugging. "Mother, why did Father call the doctor that?"
"Your Father doesn't think that Doctor Weaseltown is a very good doctor but he's the only one in town that people with very little money can afford unfortunately. It doesn't mean that he's not a good doctor and you mustn't call him that"
"I do not that he's a very good doctor either cause he's not very nice. He closed the door in you face and that's very rude" I said crossing my arms.
"You're very right, my little butterfly but you mustn't let it upset you. There are going to be a lot of people that are going do things to you that you don't like but it doesn't mean that you shouldn't try to see things from their point of view nor getting to know." Mother said smiling. "Sometimes people just don't know how to express themselves and even fewer need a little time and patience to see their true selves. Do you understand?"
"I think so, Mother"
"Don't worry, one day you'll understand completely"
This is not what she envision for me but life is not fair as I have no choice in the matter which I am doing this to ensure my family's survival but I wanted her to be here with me, to see me walk down the aisle with my intended in my white dress with Father and Olaf in their tuxes. My intended would standing at the alter, smiling at me lovingly as they held out their hand for me to take as father gives me away and we would say our heartfelt vows to each other, declaring our love before we share a kiss. That is what I wanted but now it will be a distant memory for me as I looked at myself in the mirror to see that I applied enough makeup to my face to cover the tear streaks under my eyes from crying. I hate that I have to give my dreams and my family for this person as I want to hate this person with every fiber of my being but I cannot bring myself to do so because it wouldn't be right for me to hate someone that I never met. Mother, please guide me through this. I need your help.
Today's my birthday and I'm officially 24 years old. I'm pretty excited and nervous about this surprise that my Dad has been bragging that I will love for the last week or so. I just wish that he would freakin tell me what the heck it is already but he promise to reveal everything at the party. I'm in my apartment killing time until then by putting in some work on this game that I'm testing out. I've been at it for a few hours now and the game is infuriating yet addicting. The boss level is working on my ever-loving nerves but I can't seem to stop playing. I take a quick swig of my can of Pepsi before throwing a special explosive at the boss destroying him and his minions. Take that, you son of a bitch! I look at the digital clock built in the DVD system to see that it's 7:45. Fuck! I have 15 minutes to get to my parents' place. Shit, Ma's gonna kill me.
I scramble to my feet an race up to my room and take a quick shower. I can't believe that I got up in my work that I didn't notice the time flew by… okay I actually can. Video games can be so time consuming with a few minutes turning into a few hours or sometimes in my case a few days. I put on my clothes and thank God that I lay them out the night before getting dressed would've taken a lot longer than it should've. I give myself a quick once over and give myself a thumbs-up for appearance before grabbing my phone and keys. I race out of my apartment and lock the door behind me before going down to the parking garage, hopping in my Ford truck and started her up. She purrs like a kitten as I pull out of the garage and drives onto the street as I have 8 minutes to get to my parents' house on time and not get chewed out by Mom about being on time and not letting 'my work' take over.
I know that game testing isn't something that she wanted me to pursue or spend all of my time on but this is what I love doing. It's makes me happy and I wish that she could understand that but I doubt that it's something that she will as I turn onto their street. I can see a lot of cars parking up and down the street and on the next street as I parked in the driveway before killing the engine. I'm 5 minutes late which isn't too bad and hopefully I can avoid a lecture at least for now. I hear the music bumping and people talking from inside of the home as I walked up the stairs onto the porch before using my key for the house to unlock the door. There's a few of my Dad's business partners along with their kids that I met before or grew up with and didn't really talk to. I didn't like talking to some of them because I have nothing in common with them except that our parents working together.
Most of them live at home with their parents and servants, spending their parents' money that they worked hard for on useless things that they'll use once or maybe twice before moving on to the next interesting thing. Like no thank you. Talk about spoiled kids. I rather work for my own money and save it for something that I'm gonna actually use. My Dad instilled in me a sense of hard work and not spending money wastefully. I know that Dad has a trust fund for me that's enough for me to retire whenever I want to and live comfortably without having to work a day in my life but I like working. I like testing out games and making sure that everyone will be interested in them and want to play them. It's been a dream job of mine and I'm living out the dream of playing video games to play against other gamers in competitions. It's so worth it. I say hi to a few people before looking for Flynn or my parents and before I can even find them, I'm pulled into a bear hug from behind and lifted off of the ground.
"Happy Birthday Anna"
I looked over my shoulder to see that it's my Uncle Kai as he sets me on the ground so I get a good look at me and give him a proper hug but he isn't really my uncle but he might as well be. He's been in my life for as long as I can remember, always let ride on his back and ride him like a horse as we play Ride 'Em Cowboys. Kai is my Dad's oldest business partner who gave him the start up money for his company and he was always grateful because if it wasn't for Kai that he wouldn't be the man that he is today. Kai is one of the sweetest and hardest working men I have met besides Dad but he always made time for his wife Gerda and make sure that Flynn and me were doing okay. He's like a second dad to my and Flynn, never missing a birthday, soccer game, video game competition, or holiday over the years.
"Hey Uncle Kai, I'm glad that you could make it" I said smiling.
"Of course, I wouldn't miss your birthday for anything" Kai said ruffling my hair.
"So where's Auntie Gerda?" I asked curious.
"She's in the kitchen with your Mom and the other women, waiting on you to show up" Kai said sipping on his beer.
"Oh Jesus, I don't know if I can handle my Mom and her friends. Auntie Gerda yes, Mom's friends no. They're like cackling hens and they always asking me when I'm gonna get married" I said rolling my eyes.
"Sorry kiddo, you know how they are. Why do you think I'm out here and not in there?" Kai asked chuckling.
"Because you're scared of them and you know that they'll talk your ear off" I said smirking.
"I'm scared but they will talk my ear off. You know that I could always throw in the lion's den if I wanted to" Kai said smirking smugly.
"No, you wouldn't. I'm your favorite niece" I said shaking my head.
"You're my only niece" Kai said amused.
"And that's why I'm your favorite. You wouldn't happen to know what my Dad got me for my birthday, would you?" I asked curious.
"Ruben knew that you would try to get information out of me about your surprise and he swore me to secrecy. I can't tell you anything and I will not crack" Kai said shaking his head.
"Unlike all the other times that you didn't crack" I said raising an eyebrow.
I am sorry but my Uncle can't keep a secret for the life of him. All you have to do is stare at him with a raised eyebrow and your arms crossed for a few seconds and he sings like canary. It's how I find out about all of my Christmas and birthday presents over the years. My Dad should know by now not to tell Kai anything that I would want to know about. He can't lie and it had come in handy on several occasions especially when my parents try to hide things from me and my brother.
"Kai, you know that you can't lie"
"Yes, I can and I can keep a secret. You will not break me this time. I am an immovable rock" Kai said crossing his arms over his chest.
"Oh really?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
I see my uncle's lip trembling as he tries to look pass me. I know that he isn't gonna last longer as his body starts to shakes as he bites his lip to keep the secret to himself. It won't be much longer now and Kai opens his mouth to say something when someone calls my name. Goddamn! I was close! My uncle sighs in relief when my Auntie Gerda walks over towards me with a smile on her face.
"Hi Auntie Gerda" I said hugging her.
"Happy Birthday. Oh my goodness, you've gotten more beautiful every time I see you." Gerda said taking my face into her hands.
"You see that every time you see me and I'm pretty sure that I haven't changed much since the last time you seen me" I said laughing slightly.
"I still think that you're a beautiful young woman. Your Mother has been looking for you" Gerda said smiling.
"She's still in the kitchen with her friends?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yes"
"I'm good out here" I said leaning against the wall.
"Her friends aren't that bad, you know" Gerda said putting a hand on my shoulder.
"No, they're worse" Kai and me said in agreement.
"Just go in there and say hello, Anna" Gerda said pushing me towards the kitchen.
I pouted slightly as my aunt makes a 'shooing' motion with her hands at me, sighing dejectedly before moving through the crowd. I might as well get this out of the way now instead of having to do it later but I rather not do this at all. I walked into the kitchen to find my Mom Allison with her friends laughing about something and drinking red wine. Great, I have to deal with slightly drunken women. Normally this would be a good thing if was other women and not friends with my Mom. My mom looks at me with a smile on her face and gets up from the table to hug me.
"The birthday girl has finally decide to grace us with her presence" Mom said jokingly.
"How old are you now, child?" Lady Tremaine asked snobbishly.
"24 and before you ask, no I'm not seeing anyone" I said slipping that in.
"Do you not think that it is time for you set down those childish video games and settle down with someone?" Grimhilde asked raising an eyebrow.
"I'll settle down when I find someone that I want to spend the rest of my life" I said folding my arms over my chest.
"There is no need to get so defensive, Anna. We are only saying that you are young and you should find someone" Mom said sympathetically.
"Mom, I told you before that I have been busy with work and I'm not interested in finding someone right now. I'll find someone when I'll find someone and not when you want me to" I said walking out of the kitchen.
This is why I hate being around Mom and her friends. I love Mom with all of my heart but I wish that she would stop pressuring me to find someone cause I'll date someone when I'm good and ready and not because I have to. I'll find love eventually but I like how my life is at the moment and I don't plan on changing it anytime soon. I search the party for Kristoff and Eric and quickly find me in the game room with a few of the other adults my age. I see that Ariel is here and she's blatantly flirting with the former swim captain and I notice the former female swimmer's six older sisters are here as well but they're look bored. I could never remember all of their names but I know that they start with A which is a little weird. Who names all their kids with the same letter? Seriously, who thinks like that?!
I see Flynn trying to flirt with all of them and failing miserably but I give him points for trying. I see Kristoff playing on the pinball machine while trying to explain it to Merida who's from Scotland if I remember correctly as I met her 2 years ago and she's pretty cool even through we don't talk to each other much as she's pretty into archery. Cinderella and Aurora are talking to each other about makeup and other girly things that I could care less about while I had to go to school with them and they were major bitches. They would pick on me and call me names. I know that they're only here because their Dads are business partners with my Dad and they wouldn't be here voluntarily although I wouldn't want them here no ways. I got enough of them in high school and I would rather not see them for the rest of my life if I could help it.
Then there's Charming and Philip who are major assholes/pretty boys and are so full of themselves especially Charming since he can't walk passed a mirror without looking at himself in it. Talk about being a narcissist. Marry the mirror if you love it so much. I have a feeling that he would if it wasn't illegal. Least I think it's illegal. Flynn looks over at me and walks over towards me, much to the other redhead's sister's relief. My brother must have been working her nerves with pickup lines. When will he learn that they don't work on girls' with half a brain.
"Hey kiddo, you made it" Flynn said wrapping his arm around my shoulders.
"Like I would miss out on my birthday party. I see that you already got started on hitting on the girls" I said snickering.
"Yeah but I think that I'm wearing down at least one of them"
"If you say so, Bro but I don't think so" I said shaking my head.
"It hurts to know that you doubt my skills" Flynn said holding his chest in mock hurt.
"I'm sure that it does. Have you seen Dad? I want to see what my surprise is already" I said rubbing my hands together.
"I'm not sure where he is but I'm sure that he'll find you when the time comes. And with that, if you need me, please don't because I'm gonna be working my smolder on those fine women over there" Flynn said walking smoothly towards the girls.
I chuckle a little as I shake my head at my brother. If it's one thing that he is, it's persistent. I say to Eric and Ariel as I make my way over towards the pinball machine where Kristoff and Merida are at.
"Hey guys" I said smiling.
"Hey Feisty Pants, happy birthday" Kristoff said hugging me.
"Thanks" I said hugging back.
"Happy Birthday lass" Merida said patting me on the back.
"Thank you Merida, having fun?" I asked curious.
"Yeah, your friend is trying to beat my score on the pinball machine but he's failing miserably" Merida said smugly.
"You wont be so smug for long" Kristoff said glaring at her.
"Whatever you say lad, whatever you say" Merida said dismissing him with a wave of her hand.
I watch them go back and forth as Kristoff tries to raise his score. It was about 20 minutes when I feel someone tapping me on the shoulder. I turn to see that it's Dad and he motions with his head for me to follow him. I raise an eyebrow at him but follow him to his study that's not too far in the house but it's soundproofed so it keeps the noise of the party out. Dad opens the door for me to walk in first and I see that there's a blonde woman around my age with stunning blue eyes and a slim figure but has nice sized boobs. Her platinum blonde is in a single French braid with a blue butterfly clip on the left side of her head. The girl… no the woman looks at me with wide eyes and quickly stands up on her feet. Who is this girl? Why is she here? I never seen her before in my life. Is she one of my dad's associates daughter? Dad walks into the study and closes the behind before standing in between me and the blonde woman.
"Um hi" I said giving her a slight wave.
"Hello, my name is Elsa. It is a pleasure to meet you" Elsa said curtsying.
"Nice to meetcha too, I'm Anna. Not to be rude but what's going on here, Dad?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"You know how I said that I had a surprise for you. Here it is" Dad said smiling.
"You're giving me the study?" I asked confused.
"No, I'm not giving you the study. I'm giving you Elsa"
I look over my shoulder, waiting for someone to say that you've been punk'd or something but nothing happened. I looked at my Dad like he looks his mind or been replaced with a look alike. He can't be serious. I know that he can't be serious. This has be some kind of a joke. There's no way that he would be giving me a person. It's obvious that Elsa's smoking hot and I wouldn't mind having her on my arm but she must be in on this joke. If this is a joke then it's not very funny.
"Say what now?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"Well I know that you have working pretty hard with all the game testing and you don't go out a lot like someone your age should. I know you're pretty awkward person so I ordered a mailed ordered bride from this agency online" Dad said rubbing the back of his neck.
Can't believe him. I CANNOT FUCKING BELIEVE HIM! WHRE DOES HE GET OFF BUYING SOMEONE OFF THE INTERNET LIKE THIS! I don't need a wife, let alone forcing to marry me who doesn't love me. It's not right and I'm gonna force some poor girl into a loveless marriage, making the both of us miserable as hell. I don't know what to say next because I couldn't say anything. The next thing I saw was looking up at the ceiling and hearing my Dad calling my name before everything went black. Ugh, my head freaking hurts like hell. What the hell happened? One minute, I'm standing in Dad's study then the next I'm lying on the damn floor. I feel my head being lifted and now something soft's under it. It feel really good and it smells like lavender. If I can just stay in this moment for awhile, it would be all good in the hood. If only things were that simple. Everything in the half hour flashed before my eyes, now I know I am and how I got here.
I cannot freaking believe that he would do something like this to me. I mean what the fuckin hell, man! Out of all the things that Dad could've given me for my birthday…. It had to be a person. A living, breathing person. Does he think that I'm so pathetic that I needed him to go out pay for a mail ordered bride? OFF THE FUCKIN INTERNET! I know that it's been awhile since the last thing that I've been a date but I've been hella busy. Just because I work a lot does mean that I need help from my Dad in the love department. Did he even think I had a reason for being single for so long? Most girls ain't into other girls with a dick in-between their legs. Even if they were, they would be only satisfying their curiosity about being with a freak.
They wouldn't want to pursue a relationship with me and I rather not try to satisfy someone's curiosity, only to get my heart broken. I barely put the pieces back together the last time that I went out a date. Just let say that it didn't end well for me and I swore that I would never put myself in that kind of situation ever again. I'm very selective of who I decide to date and/or sleep with. What the hell was going through Dad's head when he remotely thought that this was good idea? If she's a bride, doesn't that mean I'll have to marry her. God, what the hell am I gonna do? I mean Elsa is very beautiful girl and it's obvious that she can get anyone she wants regardless of gender. Does Dad even know she's even into girls or not? I guess that it won't really matter what she wanted since she was ordered off of the internet. This really doesn't sit well with me. I mean their forcing girls into loveless marriages.
How I even know if this girl isn't a gold-digger or on drugs? For all I know, she could be crazy in the head and kill me in my sleep in a fit of rage. Shit happens and I don't wanna today. I have the rest of my life ahead and there're things that I want to do before then. I smell something… funky. It smells…. Like… Flynn's dirty socks. I jolted forward and nearly hit my head again on something else as my vision is somewhat blurry so I rub them so my eyes would focus. I looked around to see Uncle Kai on one knee in front of me with a balled up soc in his hand with a nervous smile on his face. Dad is standing behind him with a worried expression on his face and I glare at him hard causing him to flinch under my gaze. Before he could even open his mouth to explain or talk his way out of this, I beat him to the punch.
"What the hell, Dad?! How could you do this to me?! I am so pathetic that you to find a wife for me. Off the goddamn internet. Do I so desperate that you had to do this?!" I asked angrily.
"Anna, just calm down" Kai said trying pacify me.
"And you fucking know about this shit! And you didn't tell me about it! Out of all the things you couldn't keep a secret about, this is the one thing that you decide to keep your mouth shut about! Seriously Kai!" I said turning on him.
Normally it takes a lot to piss me and I mean A LOT but this isn't the thing I can overlook or get over. I don't know if I can forgive them for doing this to me but at least they had the decency to look guilty and shame at what they did. I don't know if they feel guilty for doing it in the first place or because they thought they were doing me a favor or whatever. This is a lot to take in all at once cause I'm having mixed emotions about this but the more dominant ones are anger and hurt. I'm angry because they think so lowly of me to not to be able to find a girlfriend on my own and I'm hurt because I'm finally seeing what they truly think of me now, that I'm a lonely freak that they feel compiled to fix. This is my Dad and Uncle Kai when they look at me and it only hurts that I'm only seeing this now. I shouldn't have been so naive to think otherwise.
"A-Anna please l-listen to me" Dad pleaded.
"Why should I? I'm right, ain't I? I'm just a pathetic, lonely freak to needs to be fixed to you" I said through the angry tears.
"Anna, I swear that isn't what I think of you. You are my daughter and I love you with all of my heart. I don't care if you're normal or not, I would love you regardless and I didn't get Elsa because I think you're a freak or pathetic. I swear to you that this isn't it" Dad said sitting in front of me.
"I… I don't know what to believe" I said shaking my head.
"Have I ever lied to you?" Dad asked taking my face in his hands.
"No"
"Haven't I been honest with you?"
"Yes"
"We always been buddies since you were born. Haven't I made sure that you were showered in love?" Dad asked smiling through watery tears.
"Y-Yes" I said with a nod.
"Then believe that I didn't do this to hurt you. I honestly thought I was doing the right thing but… I'm sorry that it made you question my love for you" Dad said resting his forehead against mine.
"It's okay and… I'm sorry for overacting and for the things that I said. I'm sorry, Uncle Kai. I didn't mean it" I said looking at Kai.
"I know that you didn't and I still love you, kiddo. Who else will sneak me the good food when your Aunt decides to put me on those ridiculous diets of hers" Uncle Kai said patting me on the back.
"Yeah, we're gonna have to talk about me sneaking those In-N-Out burgers. You're gonna have to buy me one for all of this for the next three months" I said smirking evilly.
"Ugh fine but we're good now?" Uncle Kai asked sighing.
"Yeah, we're good. Did you wash that sock? It stinks to high heaven" I said scrunching up my nose.
"It's not mine. It's Flynn and this thing is potent" Uncle Kai said chuckling a little.
"That explains so much" I said shaking my head.
"I think that you should talk to Elsa, Anna" Dad said grabbing my attention.
"Ugh, do I have to? How do you know that she's not some serial killer that'll kill me when I least expect it?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"I am sure that she isn't a serial killer and you could always ask herself" Dad said chuckling.
"Like she would tell me the truth" I said rolling my eyes.
"Well if she wanted to kill, she could've done it while you were out cold on the floor" Dad replied.
I open my mouth to retort that but nothing was coming out cause he has a point. If she really wanted to kill then she could've when I was knocked and I wouldn't have seen it coming. Or she's bidding her time to do it. I need to stop watching so many slasher movies. It's making me paranoid of everything and everyone. I'm snapped out of my tights by the sounds of my Dad's snickering, smacking him on the shoulder as I glare at him. It's a general fear to be weary of people that you don't know all that well. Elsa could be a killer and she would be my wife. If I end up dead in my bathtub then it would be Dad's fault that I died a few days after my 24th birthday.
"If you're so worried then get to know her and see if she's a serial killer or not" Dad said playfully rolling his eyes.
"Fine, where is she?" I asked sighing.
"She's right behind you. You had you head in her lap for the last few minutes now" Dad said smirking.
I instantly froze. Shit! She heard everything that I just said. Fuck! Fuck! Fuckiety Fuck-Fuck! I am so screwed. I know that she's gonna be pissed and yell at me for calling her a serial killer but in my defense, I didn't know that she was in the room. I slowly turned to come face to face with a pair of artic blue eyes staring back at me with a look of pure innocence… and sadness? Why would she be sad? Why do I want to take her in my air and hug the sadness out of her? Weird. I feel a little uncomfortable with the blonde being so close to me so I scoot back a little.
"L-Look I'm s-sorry about calling you a s-serial killer and stuff" I said rubbing the back of my neck.
"It is understandable. You do not know me all that well and I can see how you thought the worst of me but I can assure you that I am not a serial killer or anything of that like" Elsa replies.
"Um okay if you say. So where you from?" I asked curious.
"I am from Arendelle, Norway. It is a small and poor village" Elsa said smiling sadly.
There it is again! That sad look and this feeling of wanting to take her in my arms to make her world better. Why am I feeling like this? I don't get it. Is Arendelle really that bad? Did something happen there that made her sad? I doubt the blonde would tell me if I asked her.
"How old are you?"
"I will turn 25 on the 21st of December" Elsa answered politely.
An older woman. Me likely. What the hell? Where the hell did that come from? Thank God I didn't say that out loud or that would be really embarrassing. Before I could ask my next question, there's a knock on the door. It opens itself to reveal my Mom as she walks into the room. She's about to say something but it doesn't make it past her lips when she notices Elsa and me sitting on the floor and how close we are.
"Anna, who's your friend? She is cute" Mom gushed.
I face-palm myself as I shake my head at her while Elsa looks nervously at the floor as her face turn a light pink. Dad chuckles as he wraps his arm around his wife's waist and kisses her on the cheek as I gag at the display of affection between them cause the last thing that I want to see is my parents being affectionate with each other. I just fainted, I don't need to throw up less than 10 minutes later.
"Mom, this is Elsa. Elsa, my mom" I said introducing the both of them.
"Hello Mrs. Smith, it is a pleasure to meet your acquaintance" Elsa said holding out her hand.
"Oh my goodness, so polite. This one is definitely a keeper, Anna. Where did you find this one?" Mom asked smiling.
"I didn't, Dad did. You wanna tell her Dad or do you want me to?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
"What is she talking about, Ruben?" Mom asked looking at Dad with a confused expression.
"Hehe well you see. The thing is… Elsa is Anna's birthday present. She's a mail ordered bride that I ordered off the internet" Dad said laughing nervously.
Mom blinks once then twice. A blank look forms her face before looking at me with a sickening sweet smile replaces it. Uh-oh, I know that look. I have seen plenty times and it has been directed at Dad and Flynn plenty of times. It's been aimed at me a few times and I know that Dad is in deep shit.
"Anna, will you excuse your Father and I for a few moments?" Mom asked in evenly calm voice.
"Anna, don't leave" Dad said shaking with fear.
"Dad, it was nice knowing you. Stick your head between your legs and kiss your balls goodbye. Deuces!" I said grabbing Elsa's hand.
I quickly walked out of there with Uncle Kai trailing behind us. Kai shakes his head before returning to his and Dad's business partners in the living room. I can't say that I feel sorry for ditching my Dad like that but he deserves it. I know that Mom is chewing him for what he did. I'm not sure what's gonna happen between Elsa and me but I might as well enjoy the rest of my birthday and worry about it tomorrow.
"Um Anna"
"Yeah"
"Is Mr. Ruben going to be okay with your Mom? She seems a little upset about me being a mail ordered bride" Elsa said stopping in the middle of the hallway.
"He'll be fine and my Mom isn't upset about you being a mail ordered bride. It has nothing to do with you, just how you got here. Don't worry" I said squeezing her hand reassuringly.
Elsa looks up at me for a second before giving me a small smile and I feel my heart skip a beat but I shook it off. We walked into the game room to find Flynn getting slapped by all of Ariel's sister one by one causing me to flinch at every slap that my brother received and I know that he stuck his foot in his mouth once again. They walked away from him and towards the door that I just walked through. I quickly stepped aside to get out of their way incase they decide to slap me too. They looked at me for a second then at each other and nodded.
"Happy Birthday Anna. Thank goodness that you turned out good unlike your brother" Attina: the oldest of the sister said glaring at Flynn.
"Um thanks I guess" I said unsure of how to respond to that.
Each sister gives me a kiss on the cheek as they pass. I don't know why they kiss me but I'm not complaining. Ariel sighs before she gives Eric a hug and a kiss on the cheek before following her sisters. The redhead swimmer walks up to me with a smile on her face.
"Thanks for inviting me, Anna. Happy Birthday" Ariel said hugging.
"No problem" I said hugging her.
I can see the huge smile on Eric when Ariel kissed him. I'm glad that he's making progress with his girl. Flynn walks over towards me with a deflated look on his face as he tries to glare but it made him look even more miserable and pitiful. I told him to stop but nooooo he didn't wanna listen and he slapped. Six times. By six different. All under 10 seconds. That's a new record for the self proclaimed ladies man.
"How is it that I get slapped by six different women and yet they kissed by the same women? I just don't get it" Flynn said pondering what he did wrong.
"Because maybe I try to be nice to them without having an ulterior motive. Just a thought" I said sarcastically.
"That can't be it. It has be something else that I'm not seeing" Flynn said shaking his head.
"Oh brother" I said face-palmed myself.
"Hey Anna, who's the girl?" Eric asked curious.
"Guys, this is Elsa. Elsa, that's my idiot of a brother Flynn, my best friends Eric and Kristoff. Merida is the redhead that's with him" I said introducing them.
I'm gonna explain the situation to them once Aurora and Cinderella are gone cause I don't need to hear their snaky comments about my love life. Can't to give them any ammo against me. Elsa shyly says hi to them as she holds onto my bicep. With her being this close to me, I can feel her perfume and its… lavender.
"Why didn't you tell me that you got a girlfriend, Sis? I would have told Mom and Dad" Flynn said slapping me on the back.
"They already know that she's here, Flynn" I said rolling my eyes.
"Good work, Anna. She's cute. It's nice to meet you, Elsa" Eric said smiling.
"Oh please like the tranny could pull someone remotely hot. She's probably in it for the money" Aurora said rolling her eyes.
"Or she has a freak fetish and is trying to get it out of her system with the first freak that she could find" Cinderella said laughing like a hyena.
I try not to let the crap they say get to me but sometimes it really hurts. I know that I'm not as strong as I let people believe that I am. I know that I'm an intersex and my life is already enough with people like them giving me shit about it. I try to swallow about the lump that's formed in my throat as I try to let things effect me.
"It is not very nice to make fun of others who are different. I assume that either of you know Anna very well to make such rude and offensive comments. I am not in a relationship with Anna because of her money or because I have a freak fetish as you so eloquently put it. I do not see either of you with a date on your arm so I think you have no ground to judge my girlfriend for having a date" Elsa said coolly.
Damn! That was fuckin hot. Cinderella and Aurora are looking pretty stupid and gob smacked right now. They walked away with their noses in the air and in a huff. Eric and Kristoff were holding their stomachs as they laugh heartily. Merida looked impressed with my 'girlfriend' and Flynn looked proud as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders.
"Damn Sis, you sure know how to pick 'em" Flynn said smirking. Elsa turned to me with a concerned look on her face. "
Are you okay, Anna? I was not too out of line, was I?" Elsa asked uncertain.
"Hell no! Elsa, I'm impressed. No one has ever stood up for me like that. Thank you" I said grinning.
"You are most welcomed" Elsa said smiling.
The rest of us that are still left in the game room crowded around the flat screen TV to play some online COD which Elsa is amazed by. I guess living in a industrial country has its perks as I try to explain the game to the blonde who really doesn't get it and she seemed a little distraught by it. I told her that we have plenty of time for her to get it. We continue playing until I feel a weight shift on my shoulder. I look to see that Norwegian had fallen asleep and using my shoulder as a pillow. I take a better look at her to take her beauty. Her long blonde lashes hiding her amazingly blue eyes, her flawless porcelain skin, her shapely legs, her breasts that currently moving up and down with every breath that she is taking.
"Hey guys, it's getting late and I think that I'm gonna take Elsa home" I said taking the sleeping blonde in my arms.
"Okay sis, happy birthday" Flynn said smiling.
"Thanks Bro" I said nodding.
I take Elsa into my arm and carry to my car as it took me longer to get to my truck with all of the people in the living room but I managed before settling the blonde in the passenger's seat and buckled her up without waking her. I make it to the other side and get inside, pulling out of my parents' driveway and drive towards my apartment. It has definitely been a… interesting day to say the least. I'm not completely sure what I'm gonna do with the sleeping woman next to me but I just wanna get home and sleep. It's not long before I reach my apartment and I carry Elsa out of the truck, opening the door before closing it with my foot. I take the bride to my bedroom and place her under the covers before pulling them up to her chin.
I don't know if she brought any clothes before she left her country but I guess we'll have to go clothes shopping if she didn't and I guess that I could use some more clothes anyways. I go through my drawers and grab some clothes to sleep in before changing in the bathroom. I walked out of the bathroom in a plain t-shirt and a pair of grey sweatpants before going through my hall closet for a blanket. I grab a pillow before walking into the living room and turn the couch into a makeshift bed. Tomorrow is gonna be a long ass day.
