I was temporarily confused on what reply to give her.

If I should accept her request, Joke will surely felt that I rejected her request because of her disability and If I didn’t they might both think of me as a snub and thats the last thing I want.

I walked back to them and gave Joke a peck and told her that she shouldn’t worry. I promise to pay her another visit the following week.

“so you still need to see my WAEC result before you can tell me your name?” I asked the younger sister with a smarmy smile.

“Nike, pls am sorry for not telling you ealier.” She replied.
“what a beautiful name you’ve got there…Ok. Have got to go.”
I gave them both a smile and left without saying anything else.

I think what I did by turning both of them down is the best for now. Although, I had other plans for Nike. I just can’t seem to get my mind off her sexy body. I was very determined to get her without hurting her sister’s feelings in the process.

On my way home, I dropped at a T-junction close to my house. I paid off the bike man, and headed in the direction of a big viewing center.

It was Chelsea vs Tothenham match, F.a cup semi final. Arsenal vs Mancity match have been played earlier in the day with Arsenal booking their place in the final with a 3-2 win.
The center was already full to the brim when I stepped inside. I was lucky to locate a space beside two lovebirds after paying the viewing fee to the owner.

I sat down beside the lady and focused my attention on the screen while awaiting the kick-off.

Soon enough, the match commenced. It started with Hazard having a hard time getting past Walker, but trust my guy na, he always find a way, even if you like arrange your defence like bokoharam, he will still break through.
Apparently, despite all the chances Hazard managed to create, it was unfortunate that Diego Costa has decided to be wasteful in front of goal. I still don’t know why we can’t sell that age cheater to China in exchange for Tecno phones.
He cost us the first half as Tothenham went to the break with a 2-0 scoreline lead. I was sweating very profusely, because all the haters have started whyning comfortness out of me. I was known as a big mouthed chelsea fan in the whole area.

2nd half kickstarted with Chelsea spoiling the tickets of those that played halftime substitution as Conte substituted Diego costa for Whycee aka BATSHUAYI and Matic for Fabregas.

Within 3mins, the subs have started making impact. They brought an obvious change into the tempo of the game and It wasn’t until Hazard won us a penalty that I realise that the beautiful lady beside me is also a Chelsea die-hard fan while her boyfriend is a fan of a certain team that haven’t won Epl for the past twenty six years.

I jumped up and the lady followed suit and unexpectedly gave me a very tight hug. I was shocked to the bone. We were like that for 5secs before I saw her boyfriends eyes. He doesn’t seem to care and I received another round of hug from the lady as Hazard brilliantly played the spot kick past Hugo lloris thereby taking the scoreline to 2-1.

As the excitement died down a gradually, the lady leaned over and whispered to my ears.
“I can give you more than just a hug….if Chelsea wins.”

Luck must be doing promo on that day, or what rational explanation can clarify that above statement?

My eyes nearly ran out of their sockets at the completion of her statement. She shot me a wide grin and focused back on her boyfriend.

70mins gone, and still no goal. All hope seems to be lost when Garry Cahil made a wrong back pass to the goal keeper and the ball went straight to the path of Hue min Son who was through on a 1 on 1 situation with Coutois and he perfectly slotted the ball past the approaching Keeper hence taking the scores to 3-1 in favour of Tothenham.

The only thing protecting Gary Cahil from getting killed by a direct thunder from Shango at that moment was the T.v screen.

I felt like crying. All hopes of me getting intimate with this beautiful girl has been thrown away by this stewpid Cahill.
“ah!” I lamented frustatingly.

I instantly lost all interest in the match as I buried my head in between my laps.

“YES! Chelsea don die!” That loud statement that came from the lady’s boyfriend made me raise my gaze at the screen and what I saw was enough to make any addicted fan head towards the nearest ocean.
Victor Moses was being stretched off at 78mins.

I just hissed and returned my head to where it was before.
I felt a gentle tap on my left shoulder and I looked up only to see the lady secretly handing me her phone which has a message on it that reads;
‘don’t worry, d offer still stands if Chelsea gets a draw.’

I just replied her with a smile and that gave me enough strenght to get my attention back on the screen.

80mins, 81, 82, 83, Chelsea were really playing with a very high tempo now. Hazard trying to drive in from every angle.

But then the Unthinkable and Unexpected happenend.
