Loving Deviant

it, Mavo hissed and moved fast, crossing the bridge to intercept them. Dont do this, Bazelle. This is our sons wedding.
Get out of my way!
Venice almost winced at how strongly Deviants hold on her hands became. She instantly didnt like his mother. She was a beautiful woman, but she was also trying to ruin their wedding.
Mavo didnt budge, blocking them from stepping onto the bridge. Leave now. You were not invited.
Bazelle tried to sidestep around Mavo but he moved with her. She shoved at him. Im more than aware. I demand to speak to that Earther. Councilman Zorus, I believe this female has been given false information and is about to enter a contract she doesnt understand.
Venice turned fully toward her, barely managing to keep her mouth from falling open. Deviants mother made it sound as though she was trying to protect Venice from somethingand she wasnt buying that for a second. I love your son. I am marrying him because I want to. Theres nothing false about how I feel.
What are you attempting to do, Bazelle? Zorus didnt sound happy. You heard Venice. She wishes to enter a family unit with Deviant. Leave.
Dont do this, Mother. Deviant nearly snarled the word.
Does she know that she could choose any other cyborg on this planet who has better standing? Earther! Bazelle yelled. Did Deviant inform you that you have the right to join with many males in a family unit? Ones with higher standing on Garden? Did he make you aware that his flaws have a high probability to be passed down to any offspring you may have with him, and other children will shun yours?
Venice opened her mouth but Bazelle wasnt done.
I brought four single males with me. They are handsome, with stronger status in our society. They have no flaws. You wouldnt be stuck with just one of them when you grow bored of their company. On Garden, you choose who you live with, and for how long. I believe my son hasnt informed you of how our society works, and is purposely keeping you in the dark. Councilman Zorus, I demand we take this before the council so they may question that Earther about how much she knows before you seal their contract! She is completely unaware.
Venice wiggled her hands and slipped them out of Deviants. He let her go, and she took a few steps closer to the tall cyborg woman. Oh, Im aware alright. Youre such an unfit mother! Wow. Youre not here on my behalf. Youre pissed because your son isnt doing what you ordered him to do, and youre being petty and vindictive. I may have been raised on Earth, but I also know what a bitch is. That would be you. I know Im allowed more than one cyborg husband, but guess what? I only want Deviant. And dont you dare call anything about Deviant flawed. Look in a mirror, lady. Theres something seriously wrong with you. Maybe when you were created they forgot to put a heart in your chest.
Bazelles face darkened an ugly shade of gray. My relationship with Deviant is none of your business!
Right back at you. You werent invited to our wedding. Now I totally understand why. Do you know what the saddest part is? Deviant rescued me from certain death, has shown me nothing but love and compassion, and youre too stupid to see how amazing he is.
The cyborg woman smirked. So you admit its only gratitude that made you accept a contract with him.
Dont twist my words. I feel gratitude, but I also love him. I am in love with him. I bet youve never known that emotion, have you? Deviant is funny and sweet, intelligent and loving. He sure didnt inherit any of those traits from you. Get lostand take your men with you. The only man I want is right behind me.
She turned, staring up at Deviant. Lets ignore her. She glanced at Zorus. Can we get on with this?
No, Bazelle shouted. Im protesting this contract!
Denied, Zorus announced. Leave, Bazelle. Otherwise, Ill have charges brought against you for disturbing the peace.
You wouldnt dare!
Zorus snorted. I would love to. Push me, Bazelle. Ive never been a supporter of yours. I dont like the way you look at my Charlie at social events, as if its an insult to have her amongst our company.
You admit this is personal then. Bazelle took on a haughty tone. Recuse yourself immediately and convene this matter before the council!
Thats not going
