Make It Rain

NINE

"This charity event was a success only because of you."

"No. I'd rather not think that." Seun replied with a grin.

"You are a good man," said the man. "Caring for all these kids... The world needs more men like you."

"Thank you Mr. Chang." Yes. Thank you for trusting me so blindly.

A hundred charity events weren't enough to wash all of Seun's sins away, talkless one. But all he needed for the world to love him was just one.
A stifled laughter filled his chest as he shook Mr. Chang, probably the most difficult hand shake of his life.

"Uh... I have to take this." Mr. Chang walked away to respond to his call
Almost simultaneously Seun's phone also rang.

This fool again?
"What do you want?!" Seun snapped.

"Sir Jimny is having another football match today."

"And so what?!!" He barked, looking around as he walked to a more isolated location.

"Sir we don't know what to do."

"Don't be stupid!" Seun curt, "Do nothing and wait for my call!" Then he cut the call instantly.
I better think of something before these idiots ruin my plans.

There was a very loud distinct roaring sound from Samuel's bike as he rode into the school's compound with Jimmy sitting at his back. Samuel was wowed by the number of people he saw, all through his highschool days he never saw his old school this full.
Canopies, bake sales, lemonade stands and many more, it was all there. Afterall, this was the first time their school ever hosted a Schools' Golden Cup (SGC) final, and to make it even better, they were in the final.

"Wow!"

"I know right?" Samuel supplemented Jimmy's awe.

"Yh"

"Jimmy!" A boy, about Jimmy's age came running towards them.

"Emmanuel right?" Samuel asked, climbing off his bike. "How are you lad?"

He fondled Emmanuel's hair as they continued their greetings. Holding on to Jimmy's hand, Samuel and the boys walked across the school grounds on their way to the football field.

Jimmy whispered at Samuel with a nudge "Sammy!"

Samuel quickly understood his gesture and looked side to side. Good thing Shola wasn't around, all the young ladies around couldn't help but to gawk at Samuel as he carried his burly body all over the place. The way his chest would pump up every time he took a deep breath, showing a glimpse of what it looked like to see him shirtless. And his completely bare arms that swung beside his torso with every step he took. He was never going to give up wearing tank tops, maybe because it always killed the ladies.

"If I catch you with any of them I will tell Shola." Jimmy warned before walking off with his friends.

Chants and drum sounds filled the stadium as spectators filled up the seats, gathering around to enjoy the long awaited final. Samuel found himself a very comfortable seat before the game began.

"I see you are also supporting the away team."A beautifully pitched voice came from behind. It was a female.

Samuel amongst other men turned around to see who possessed such intoxicating voice. Wearing a black gown that was only long enough to cover half of her thighs, she placed her hand on her hip and gazed in the direction of Samuel. She had big round eyes that shun so bright and a beautifully pointed nose that complimented her smile. Such beautiful creature, beautiful enough to have every man around hoping to find out she was refering to them.
