At Exactly 8: ooam,
The alarm rang, I sat up on my bed stretched myself and yawned, I was so strength less. I stretched my hands towards the table clock turned it towards me to view the time.
"What! Past eight", I rushed to the bathroom took some water and freshen up. My bicycle’s roller chain got spoilt, a day before my tournament in the ring, I have to jog to the gym is just 10 miles away from home ,I shut the door and made my way to the street jogging and gulping some water from my bottle, I have to be fast because there would be a lot of people there already, in control of the gym equipment and I would have to wait till they leave .
..........
I needed an energy drink I was so weak, so I entered a grocery shop got one and jogged down to the gym.
"Good morning, Mr. Thompson I greeted", "hey good morning, how was your night?"" Cool yours? ""Fine", "hello good morning" the lady beside him greeted, "hello beautiful, how are you doing?"" Fine "she said as she smiled, she was Mr. Thompson’s girlfriend, she was this fair, average heighted with chubby cheeks, she put her hair on a ponytail and had this cute baby smile.
........
"I don’t know how last night ran this fast, lifting those trailer engines at the warehouse consumed all my strength that I managed to get out of bed, I wouldn’t have come for this morning’s weightlifting practice if not for the upcoming tournament and I have to conquer my opponent this time, I can’t afford to lose $1million again", I said to Mr. Thompson. He looked at me, gave me a smile and a light blow on my shoulder, "$1million" he said and we both laughed, "that a whole lot of money man."" Yeah a whole lot men."
........
"So what do you intend doing with such amount of money "he said
’ hmm’ I said and we both looked at ourselves and laughed, firstly I would evacuate that crap I call a house, pointing somewhere to indicate my house and "secondly start a family and enjoy my life."" Hmm you love good thing", he said," why won’t I?"I replied and we laughed.
.......
"We’ve spent 45 minutes talking ,take care man ,we would see later the person using the gym dumb bell is done with it ,I have to go before another person occupies it" ,we shook hands and I left . I put on my headset, switch to my favorite gym music ,I made use of the gym weight for practice for some time and then other equipment, by the time I was done it was almost ten ,time for work, I drank some water and the energy drink I bought earlier ,I took my face towel cleaned the sweat that dripped down from my head to my face ,greeted some friends and left .
......
I got home ,removed my cloth, tied my towel, put on my slippers to have my bathe ,when someone beeped, I was already going towards the bath room, who could that be, I turned back and picked up my phone it’s a private number that called, was it that necessary ,I said to myself, I called it back but it wasn’t reachable ,I throw the phone on the bed and went to take my bath .
........
I have been the one taking care of myself since my father passed away, it hasn’t been as easy as one would thing ,My father died in a war ,he was my only guardian ,he always told me about his wife my mother who died during my birth, leaving my father to take care of me ,according to my dad she was the only woman he has had a genuine love for .Since she died he never thought of marrying another lady ,he always took care of me and took me to his room at his place of work to stay when there was a need for that .He was the general of the army ,when I am around in his place of work ,I would always look at the way the armies act in their cantonment .I have always aspired to take after my father as the general but after he went for the war ,all my imaginations of been like him shut down like a dream. But am happy I meet this man named Jesse, he has always been there for me.
A/N: was the call from the private number that necessary ?what would likely happen next? Let's see.
