Getty wasn’t really into him. She was still searching for her ideal man. Hendry and her would meet once a week. Hendry liked spending time at her flat, but she refused to be intimate with him. She believed in having sex with the one you love. She didn’t know how to tell him.

“ I am not ready for this,” she said gently, avoiding eye contact.

Hendry understood that Getty wanted to be intimate at the right time and never pushed her. He would sleep on the other side of the bed, covering himself with different blanket. He would call her every night, but Getty would rather spend her time in the clubs with her friends. She still believed that her man is out there.

One night, Getty wanted to go to the club, but her friends had things to do so she decided to go alone. Someone brushed up against her and when she turned around she saw that it was a tall man.

“ Hello,” he said smiling

“ Hi how are you?” she asked.

She stared at him and couldn’t look elsewhere. His height and features was very appealing to her. He was a dark man with a promising body. He had a broad shoulders and he was certainly not ugly, but neither was he handsome. Getty liked tall men, but this man looked at her as if he wanted to eat her.

“I am fine. I am Ntando,” he smiled and gave her a handshake.

Getty felt the softness of his hands. She felt the electricity between them when they touched. She realised that she must have been staring at Ntando for some time.

“What’s your name? Hey beautiful lady,” he asked.

“Sorry I am Getty,” she answered smiling and blushed a little from the attention from this man.

“Can I order something for you?” he asked gently.

She ordered a cocktail and they sat by a table chatting. There was a connection between them, Getty could feel it. It was like they knew each other for a long time. Ntando was a funny guy. He had Getty laughing all night long. They exchanged numbers and she left in a taxi.

Her phone had been beeping for some time now. Getty checked to see who it was. It was Hendry.
