Chapter 3 Plans.

She had concentrated her life on serving the Brighton's Family and she came to be like Henry's second mother when Mrs. Brighton departed.

I could hear footsteps coming down the stairs and I presumed that was Henry.

" Hey dude how are you today?". He inquired cracking up.

I knew why he was laughing because it could only mean one thing whenever he saw me that early at his house without us having any rendezvous.

"Do I look okay to you bro?". I responded with a question.

" What did your mom do this time around?". He interrogated.

"The normal old song bro". I answered back.

" Chill I am here now, we are going to sort this thing out. Your mom desperately wants a grandkid". He made fun of me".

"I am tired. All the ladies that my agent has sent to me, none have ever called mistakenly to even say she hasn't seen her monthly flow". I told him frustrated.

" But why don't you may Duke". He asked in a travesty way.

"You know the answer to that question Henry". I responded with a huge laugh.

I was happy that my childhood friend was always available to cheer me up in these trying times though he was a pain in the ass sometimes.

He asked Mary to serve us some breakfast so that we could eat and go out.

" Bro, there's a masked party tonight at platinum lounge". He informed me.

"Tell me about it". I was interested because I will have fun.

" There will be a lot of girls over there and you can pick a good one that could get pregnant for you with a tap of luck". He advised.

The idea sounded incredible and I love it. Knowing how shallow-minded ladies are, they will follow any man home as long as the man is wealthy.

"Alright Dude, I am game. My secretary will reschedule all my appointments for tomorrow so we can go spend the cash tonight". I told Henry.

The table was served and we went over to have our meal. As usual, the meal was very tasty.

When Henry and I had finished eating, we left the house for a stroll with our other friends.

" You didn't tell me how last night was". Henry inquired.

"That chick was a bomb bro. I had never had any lady give it to me so much in one night". I laughed out.

" So, do you have her number, I will love to confirm what you just said". Henry gave me a teasing look.

"You are bigger than that dude, besides don't you have Yvonne?". I said.

" I am done with her, it was just a moment of pleasure bro". He muttered in gratification.

"You are not a serious guy. That girl was so in love with you and she could do anything for you". I talked about it.

" Look at who is giving me live advise, someone who doesn't even make love with one lady twice". He said in laughter.

"I can't keep a woman so there is no point having them permanently". I gist of it.

" You are a wild animal bro". Henry whispered as he laughed so hard.

I kept on driving till we reached our destination. It was our favorite pub and the owner was one of my very good friends.

I stationed my automobile while Henry was already looking at a lady he had seen out from the car glass.

"Hey, Henry I can see you". I said.

" Man I am going for this pretty damsel. Gosh, look at her curves". He mumbled as he stepped out of my vehicle.

"Hello, baby girl". He spoke politely.

" Hi". The lady replied plainly.

"I am Henry, and you?". He asked.

" I am Posha". She replied.

"Posha is such a lovely name for an elegant lady that you are". He continued with his flattery.

I shouted out to him,

" I am going inside dude, so join me when you are done". Thus I went in.

I met our friends who were already drinking and having fun.

"Hey Duke, you are here already. It feels good to have you back man". Prince welcomed me.

" Thank you bro and how are you and the family?". I inquired.

"Everyone is super fine mate. Hope your beautiful mother is fine too". He consulted.

" She is strong and kicking bro". I responded.

I saw Henry entering with the lady he was talking to outside and I smiled. Ladies always love good-looking and wealthy men and that is the truth.

Everyone was having fun but we weren't planning on staying there long since we had a party to attend in the nighttime.

I arrived home after the meeting because I had to dress up and leave for the gathering. As I entered my house, I was informed by the maid that I had a guest.

"A guest?". I asked in surprise.

" Yes sir". The maid responded.

I went in to meet the person she was referring to and to my greatest wonder, it was the daughter of my mom's friend.

I couldn't believe that my mom had invited her to come to my house. My home had become a nightmare to me.

"Hello Duke, it's so nice to meet you again". She muttered.

" What in the world are you doing here?". I asked disgruntled.

I was wondering why she was at my house and with all that anger I had forgotten that she was the daughter of my mom's friend.

I was going to ask her the same question again when someone touched me from behind,

"I asked for her presence so that you both couples talk about your wedding plans". My mom said.

" Wedding plans?". I asked in shock.

"Yes you heard me sound and clear Duke. If you can't man up to get a woman to marry then I will do it for you". She said as she sat down in fulfillment.

" I will never marry this arrogant lady with no sense of conversation". I said.

It was like my words pierced her to unmask herself.

"You have been calling me names since our last meeting. Who the hell do you think you are Duke because you are so full of yourself". She yelled out.

I wasn't amazed by her character because she was nothing but an empty vessel.

I could see the gaze my mom threw at me and that wasn't a stare that will favor me.

I was furious at my mother for letting her obsession with having a grandchild cloud her sense of reasoning.

"Mom I am going into my room to take a shower and head out for a party". I told her as I ascended the stairs.

" You must marry her whether you approve of it or not and that is final". She screamed at me.

I wasn't interested to know what my mom was assuming in her mind when she always sits alone, but planning a wedding for me at my age, was unacceptable.

All my life I have loved my mother, I had never denied anything from her one day.

As a matter of fact, she is the reason why I turned out this way with no iota of love for anyone as she taught me that everything can be paid for on this planet.

I was so furious that I couldn't stay another minute in that house anymore. I went into my room and showered.

The water helped me forget my worries for a moment as they passed through my hair strands, making their way on my face and body.
