I have been playing for years now, so this injury wasn't something new to me, but am I going to waste that opportunity because I know how I can possibly treat myself?, the answer is a capital No, I am going to take each chance I have got to go see Gianna again.
It's been two days already since I got here, I could've gone yesterday, but I didn't actually want to push it or look desperate, so I decided to relax and wait patiently for today, and today being my next opportunity to try again, I'm gonna take it without missing my chance.
Jeffery has already left for his training, he's a basketball player and me, I wanted to be a football player, he has now made it to the professional level, and I hope with his influence and fame, I can possibly have a chance of becoming a professional footballer, all I've got to do now is heal, get fit and go smash it out inside the field.
I already made plans on going to the clinic with a cab, so I was just getting my stuff organized inside my room when I saw my clothing, the one I wore two days ago when I got here, I was about keeping it aside for laundry, but something fell out from the pocket, I kept the cloth on the bed as I bent down to pickup the piece of paper, on the paper was the name Davis, it also got his number which can be used to contact him there.
I understand that he has left his number with me on purpose, either that he wants to be friends with me, or maybe for me to contact him so he would know how I am doing with my injury. I decided to give him a call over and speak with him first, so he could possibly get to have my number with him and would possibly call anytime.
“ What's up Man, it's me, Jerome, the guy with the dislocated ankle.....”
Yeah, I think I should address myself that way for him to remember me, I am possibly not the only Jerome he has met, am I?. The call went smoothly, he was really comfortable and fun to speak with, having a lot of vibe, asking me how I have been doing with my injured leg, with that level of communication with him, I decided to ask him to come over and help me to the clinic.
Not that I am asking him to just come give me a lift, no, instead I made him have the idea that I wasn't just going there for a check up, instead I was going to meet my new crush, which fueled him up to agree with me, possibly seeing this as a good source for both of us to get close to each other.
I already gave him my address, asking him to call me when he gets here, or best ask the staff for our apartment, they'll direct him.
Just thirty minutes later, my phone began vibrating on the table, I had to divert my attention from the television to the phone, picking my phone from the table to check who was calling, turns out to be the call I was expecting.
“ What's up bro, I'm downstairs, you should come down....”
“ What the fuck!.... I'm injured, your fault for blocking my falling area actually, so you gotta get up here and help me downstairs....”
I said jokingly, pushing the blame on him, accusing him of the reason why I am in this condition I am in now. I can hear him laughing across the line before disconnecting the call, I knew he would be here any minute, so I went on to keep a few things together before he gets here.
With the knock on the door, I knew it was him, and I was already done. I opened the door to see him standing side by side with the lady staff that has directed him up here, he was giving the young lady staff a perverted look, I can possibly tell that she noticed, but decided to stay professional like it was nothing, making me to slightly hit his head.
“ Fuck Man, why did you do that?.....”
“ Thanks a lot for bringing him to me....” I appreciated the lady staff who responded with a smile and a gentle bow before walking away. “ Fuck you Man, don't you know that she fucking caught you staring?....” I scolded him gently so that the lady walking away couldn't hear us.
“ That's something normal here man, not as if she didn't like it, she definitely does love the way I was looking at her, just that she was trying to hide it with her professionalism.....”
“ At least she's professional, unlike you.....”
I continued scolding him, but playfully, with a smile still on his feature, he turned back around and looked at her once more before turning back to me, “ Damnit Man, how are you living here with such sexy ladies and still stay, you know....” he voiced out, demonstrating with his hands which looks funnier.
“ Not every guy is like you dummy.....”
“ At least that same guy like me just caught you a big fish that you're going to meet up with now......”
Lol, he caught me in the box here, rendering me speechless. I've blamed him for being the reason why my leg was injured, he should as well take its praise for the result too. I just closed the door, hands moving across his shoulders as he helped me out and headed towards the elevator.
Already seated in his vehicle, we drove out, heading to the clinic, with my eyes traveling to my feet again, I don't think I should remain this weak for a few weeks more, asking for assistance, maybe it's about time I got myself some crutches.
