Episode 8
âOh it was, I got a better offerââ
âSame company?â
âYes, they opened a construction and designing
company here, itâs also a consultation firm plus
itâs into supplies for schools which includes
uniforms, books and all things schools, in fact
the company is going into other commodities
that people might need. So they needed
someone who knew the area and had lived here
for some time so my name popped up, they
gave me the position of manager, which means I
get to oversee everything here and everyone
reports to me, plus I get my salary doubled and
the best part? Pops gave me the house, you
know they moved permanently out of state to the
light city of angels like you used to call it?
Anyways ⊠here I am. I couldnât possibly refuse
that sweet offerâ
âD–n!!ââ Zack whistles âYour family is already rich, thatâs one and you get this sweet offer really? God loves you sonâ
âHe loves you tooââ
ââNo he loves you son, congrats man. You want to go out and celebrate?â
Sean scratches his head âYou know celebrating
with you means booze, drugs and girls?â
âWell, itâs good to have your best friend know
you through and throughâ
âWell nice but⊠no drugs, come on men, you
need to grow upâ
âOkay drinks and girlsâ
âArenât you in a relationship Zachary, that
Christie girl?â
He rolls his eyes âThat was months ago, I am
with Viona now but, I dumped her last weekâ
âDude!â
âHey look at who is talking,how about Tasha
Williams, that hot model you talked about?â
Sean steps into the living room and falls into a
seat âShe A-ightâ
Zachary follows him ââThat she A-ight kinda
sounds bland. I thought you were looking to
propose?â
ââI was. I am butâŠlook she is great and all but,
she is all materialisticâ
âAll girls are materialisticâ
âTrue, but at least show you love me more than
my money, she is like a trophy wife or girlfriend,
flashy all there and everywhereâ
âSo you want someone who is in the background
and nowhere?â Zachary seats opposite him and
sqÂŁÂŁzes his face
ââNo! look we had a fight the other day and it
was because she wanted me to buy her a carâ
âSo buy her a car, you can afford itâ
âI got her one for her birthday two months ago,
so I buy her another one because she wants it?
This is her third car in two years man. The other
one was on her birthday last year and now for
this year and now in two months she wants
another? Its ridiculous, I can afford it but still, it
doesnât mean I donât have other things I need to do⊠I would definitely give my wife everything
she wants. See I give her all that she wants but I
have to be sensible.. do I want a wife who is
concerned in spending and spending and not
thinking about the future? Noâ
âOkay, so break it off with herâ
âCanâtâ
âWhy?ââ
âBecause she can be sweet and great tooâ
âThen curb her expensesâ
âI am, thatâs why we fight more than we make
loveâ
Zackary laughs âSorry broâ
âNah, its fine. Look, I got a list of schools I am
supposed to do some supplies to, I just want to
take a look at them, since I am the one in
charge, I have to go around to check out all the
projects we have started, but first with the
schools, you want to come with?â
âErm sure, by the way, this house is too huge
for you to stay alone, need a roommate?âZ
achary winks
âNope, not a three legged roommate sirâ Sean
play-punches his friend and gets up, he grabs
his jacket, keys and a file on his desk
âSo, where to first?â
âThe first on the list is GreenVille Heights, they
need all uniforms replaced, their last order was
under-standard and they had a huge complain,
that first and the others would be a breeze
through.
âOkay, drive awayâ
âI am sorry about the inconveniences madam , I
would put my best team on it, we should have
the first orders in less than four weeksâ
âThank you so much Mr Seanâ The elderly lady
is smiling âThe other man was a tad impatient,
we had parents wanting to chew us upâ
âDonât worry Maâam, before the end of the month they would be smilingâ he says thanking her and taking his leave.
It was break time apparently because the bell
went off and kids ran out of their classrooms
heading to different directions
âGrrrhhh, I hate kidsâ Zackary says
âYes, little troubles they areâ Sean says walking down the hall âBut they are quite lovelyâ he is smiling as two boys ran down the hall
âWell, I ainât having them, â
Sean laughs âOh donât be dramatic okayâ He
says turning to notice a crowd of children
running to the field
âI wonder what they are up toâ Zackary says
following Seanâs eyes
âLetâs go to the other schools you have to
coverâ
âYes, letâs goââ
They get into the car and began pulling away,
apparently the kids were fighting over a bag of
ball and as soon as they got one, they began to
run and scream about.. he laughs shaking his
head, he didnât see the little girl trying to cross
to the other side to pick her ball..
Someone screams, he steps on the brakes
immediately.
âS–t!!!â he exclaims jumping out of the car..
âFxxk !Did you see the little devil that just ran
past?â Zachary says jumping out too, Sean
bends to look under the car, his heart beating
fast. he heard someone scream, he saw a small
form..but where did he/she go
Nothing.
His car had climbed a ball and flattened it.
He turns when he sees the child sobbing at the
corner, he rushes to her..
âAre you okay, are you hurt?ââ he bends to look at the child, she was crying, he scans her body.
Thank God, No bruises !
The child shakes her head ..
âthen why you crying?ââ
âMy ballâ she points at car, then points at him
âYou ruined itâ
âI am sorry, I will get you a new one okay, I
promiseâ
Silence
âI promise okay?â
She nods her head cleaning her eyes
âWhatâs your name?â
âKikina, but mummy says not to talk with
strangers â she says
Sean Smiles âLetâs go find your mummy shall
we?ââ
Kiki nods standing up, he gives her his hand and
walks back towards the entrance of the hall
âThe little devilââ Zackary exclaims looking at her and the car, thanking God Sean didnât hit her.
Sean was thankful he didnât, he was just going
to give her to her mum, get her a new ball and
leave.
