WHO WILL BE HER MATES

Chapter Four

"""""SEDUCTION """"

For the last time Henry decided to honor his dad's request, he was sitting on a well arranged chair, the table was at the middle of the restaurant.

The setting was that of a traditional and continental, a serene environment, neat and well organised. Looking at the waiters well designed uniform, Henry couldn't wait to be attended to.

The astonishing appearance of the lady who just entered through the restaurant door.

Henry could not stop thinking of his last experience, why is he still doing this, he ask himself. is it obligatory that a man must marry. Henry has set standards for himself concerning the type of woman he would love to marry.

Aside from personal attributes henry has also hold high regards for beauty, with the reason that God's artistic quality can never be underestimated.

Victor is always good at introducing people even before they meet each other.

Henry sat quietly when Ella walked to the table and sat down."Hi, you must be Ella, said Henry extending his hand with a warm smile to welcome her, it's my pleasure meeting you he said, same here she replied, and you must be Henry? Asked Ella".

Ella was filled with excitement, setting her eyes on him. Wow! She exclaimed in her heart, how can a man be this handsome and how have I not met with him till this day? She asked her self. Dimming her eyes seductively, Henry rushed immediately, pulled the chair backwards, requesting her to sit down before he could go back to his own seat. She progressed in making all the necessary moves just to seduce him but got tired when she realise that he is not paying attention to her unnecessary tricks.

Henry was disappointed, the fact that she wasn't paying attention to their conversation, he became exasperated and could no longer continue. Though they were served coconut rice, a bottle of red French wine and a packet of cigarette which Ella requested.

Henry asked the waiter to sum up their bill, after payment he politely told Ella "I am sorry you are not the type of woman I would love to date, he said".

Ella was shocked, which man in his right sense rejects a woman like me. How sure am I that he's even a man she asked herself. "Ok can you at least give me your number she requested". 'Sorry I don't think that would be necessary said Henry'.

Henry got up from his chair, adjusted his tie immediately requests for her permission to leave first.

Ella, still shocked at his attitude, continued sipping her wine. If he said I am not good enough for him, that means his definitely not my type, she said to herself.

Now Ella lighted the last stick of the remaining cigarettes from the pack Henry paid for.

Now it is as if Henry has gotten used to the kind of women he keeps meeting on different dates. He was so tired, he walked straight to his room took off his shirt and shoe together with his trouser, living just his inner wears on and lay down on his bed.

The next day, Mr. Daukon who was fast asleep when his son came back from his date, decided to sit and wait in the living room for him before going for a family get-together which he was invited to. Still sitting on the couch, Mr. Daukon set his eyes on one of the business magazines on the centre table he decided to go through it when his son came out. Henry was going to the balcony as usual. When he suddenly heard his name.

He turned to see his father sitting in the living room. "Son, please do have a seat". 'I would love to have a word with you, Mr. Daukon requested'. Henry gently walked and sat on a nearby couch. "Were you able to meet with Mr Uzo's daughter? his father asked, yes dad Henry answered". 'How did it go?, ask Mr. Daukon, it went well dad Henry replied'. "Tell me about it, Mr. Daukon requested". 'Dad to be honest with you, she's nothing close to the woman I would love to date, talk more of getting married said Henry'. "What do you mean? his Dad asked". 'She smokes, her attitude during our conversation was unappealing, even to the list conversation I tried having with her, we ended up arguing and creating nuisance in that quiet vicinity, Henry said'.

"Up on till now, I was unable to figure out one reasonable thing from her". 'As a woman her seductive attributes was too obvious for my liking, I can't imagine myself being with such a woman". Henry lamented. 'Dad, you know how I find women that smokes unattractive, that alone took me off her track'.

"Though she is too pretty but I can't date or even marry her because of her beauty said Henry:.

The unwelcoming expression on Henry's face signalled his father to believe that he's telling the truth. "Well nevertheless, I've done my part as your father; but not withstanding, I believe you now know what is right for you when it comes to the woman you will get married to". 'Son, here is my final advice; I am old, please help me by finding a wife yourself'.

"But I wouldn't want it to take so long". 'You can see I don't know how long I still have here on earth, I really need a grand child" said Mr. Daukon as he immediately rose from the chair to leave for the family get-together.

'Thanks Dad, I really appreciate and I promise I won't let you down said Henry'. "Son, do have a lovely day his father said, I am off to the family get-together Mr. John invited me to". 'Ok dad, please do well to take good care of yourself'. "Ok son" Mr. Daukon said and immediately left for his get-together meeting.

Henry walk straight to the balcony, he sat on the chair. Looking at the atmosphere, the view was impressive he lay his head back on the chair, closed his eyes, trying to meditate on what he will do the next week.
