Attempt at Seduction

The day dragged rather slowly. Ugochi could not wait for evening to come. She prepared dinner by 4p.m. to enable her prepare for the evening and leave the house by 7p.m. She tried not to think about what she was about to do. Each time a voice asked her if she was sure of what she was doing, she quickly told herself she was getting back at her parents for giving her off to someone she did not love.

I'd rather die than have cousin John enjoy my pride. I have saved it all my life for Chimaobi.

When 6p.m. came, she went to see her sisters who were lost in some discussion about a man.

"I'm going for a stroll," she announced. "Ada, please could you help organize serving of dinner?"

"Where are you strolling to this night?" Ada queried.

"It's been a while since I took fresh air."

"She wants to say goodbye to Chimaobi," Uchechi said then laughed mischieviously.

How right Uchechi is, Ugochi thought, but she has no idea what I plan for tonight.

"Go and have fun," Adaeze said, "We'll sort ourselves out."

She had a bath, dressed up as earlier rehearsed, then knelt down beside her bed to pray.

"Father, forgive me, for I know not what I am about to do... Amen." With that, she stood up, braced herself for the mission ahead and buried all fears that seemed to discourage her.

When she heard footsteps approaching the room, her heart began to beat frantically. She was not sure she was ready for what she set out to do. She heard Chimaobi whistling as he approaced the room. She started panicking. She sat up on the bed. She wanted to run back home.

I cannot do this anymore, she told herself. I am soo scared.

She felt nauseated. The moment she stood up to run to the bathroom, that was when Chimaobi walked into the room.

"Ugo, my love!" he exclaimed in surprise. "Where have you been?"

As she saw his face and the love in his eyes, as she felt the care and genuine concern in his voice, as she smelt his mild musky scent when he stepped towards her, nausea left her. Instead, she rushed towards him and hugged him fiercely. The moment she felt his warm arms around her, she reached for his lips to give him a passionate kiss.

Then the wrap-round gown loosened...
