"i think it's time you find a woman to settle down with"
My father said while placing his newspaper beside him ,he adjusted his spectacle on his nose bridge while his jaws twitched as he looked at me.The old man have been yearning for a grandchild and a 'heir ' to his empire for millennia now,and from the look of things it wasn't going to happen soon, Cindy isn't a perfect wife material and I can't dictate my life to eternal distress by marrying her,she's good in bed but that's that.
"I don't think am ready yet dad, besides I've not yet met a perfect match for me"
I replied trying to wade off the matter at hand,it wasn't easy for the old man, especially with his arthritis threatening to end his life soon ,his last wish is to see his grandchild before biting the dust.
"Xavier ever since you were a kid I was always proud of you,you proved time and again you can be a real man even when I didn't give you enough of my time, don't let your past keep you from the joy of being a father"
The old man elucidated trying to use my predicament with him to bring forth his point,when I was a child ,I rarely saw him,the only time when we could have dad son time was only when he was on a bussines leave,and it was rare in that case.
"Trust me dad I know,but am not willing to bound myself in uncertain commitment"
I said while standing from the couch ,I wasn't ready to listen to his endless lectures of how a woman can tame a stray man,I wasn't ready to be tamed.
He gazed at me and sighed,I could see his dissapointment but this is my life to live .
"See you dad "
I said while picking my jacket walking out of the house.I walked towards my black SUV while humming melodiously.
'If you tie a knot you have signed your death ,if you let her see what's your weaknes she will use it on you'
I have heard this song somewhere but I can't figure who sang it,it's simple ,I don't listen to music.
That's too gentle.
I love partying with women swamming around me,the smell of estrogen keep me alive,I revved the car off towards the city,I was meeting with Jake and some of my old friends from college.
Bounding time.
It was Jake's idea and if I missed it he would be vexed.
The silence in the car dragged my mind to an unwelcomed thought, Sally,my head swolle up thinking about her.That little bitch,who does she think she is,if she thought I was going to let her off the hook that easily,then she better think twice .
~~~~~~~~~~
All through the while Cindy clinged on me like a tick,I was getting frustrated with her.
I stood and excused myself before walking to the washroom room,I needed some air.
After staying for some minutes in the washroom I walked out stumbling to someone,she looked at my face and blood drained from her face.
"You?"
I mouthed staring at her like an injured lion .
"What are you doing here?"

~~Sally~~~
"Can you escort me somewhere pleas"
Celine pouted
"Nah,I need to rest Celine ,it's my day off"
I pointed out while noisily chewing the popcorn on my lap,Celine sat on the couch next to me frowning.
"Aint you going on your date again"
I eyed her arching a brow.She know I don't approve of Jake.
"Not without you "
She mouthed.
"You know I don't approve of him"
I plopped a mouthful of popcorn on my mouth.
"He explained himself,jake isn't a bad guy sall"
Celine purred in defense of Jake.
I gazed at my little sister,I knew she wasn't going to that date if I wasn't going with her,I wasn't the person to stand in the way of my sister's happiness.
"Its not even a date Sall,Jake has arranged a bounding time with some of his friends,I just won't feel comfortable alone with anonymous faces"
Celine chimmed.
"Okay I'll come on one condition"
I said.
"Anything "
"if he mess you again you become a lesbian"
"Deal"
*********
I left Celine with Jake to have their time and decided to go and take a walk around the beach resort ,after getting tired I felt the need to refresh myself and end up stumbling across the devil .
"what are you doing here?"
He asked me twisting his face menacing lying.
Wrong timing !.....
