Best Footballer Of All Time

Chapter 13: So it begins 2



"Who will I take with me to Germany?" Riley pondered aloud, Grandpa Nux hearing this quickly thought of solutions because he really didn't want to not go back to Germany without Riley. "Will you take Diogo with you?" Kiara asked?

"No. Im not sure he will be keen to move, you know him mom." Riley quickly shut down that idea. Grandpa Nux reached out his hand signaling Riley to hand him the phone and Riley did so because he could tell the old man had thought of something. "Ms Kiara, my name is Nux Bender. I am the scout from Germany your son mentioned." Kiara decided to not speak since she sensed Nux still had something to say. "Our academy is, well it's that. An academy but since we are signing these young players they need their education. Dorms are provided for them and monthly allowances are provided so he can have a good life there and to ease your mind I will check on him from time to time." Nux concluded and waited for Kiara.

Kiara was silent for a while, "Look Mr Nux, I understand those things quite well but you still have to know. Riley is 14 years old. Im not comfortable with him going to another country and living all by himself. I would organise someone to be his guardian over there but I can't." Riley heard his mom's point and was devastated because he knew she might be right. What 14 year old kid can monitor themselves in a new country. Nux on the other side frowned and he let out a sigh of defeat, 'There goes my dream signing. I wanted him to be my gift for the club before I retired. Ohh well then.' Nux was defeated and he kept sighing.

"Grandpa, how about he come live with us?" The boy who has been quiet this entire time suddenly suggested. Nux's eyes lit up and he quickly suggested that to Kiara who was skeptical at first but ultimately agreed after Nux promised to fly to England for meet up with Kiara. "Mr Nux can you please give Riley the phone?" Nux wasted no effort and handed Riley the phone. "Riley, I really hope you are good. I know I haven't seen you since you were a little child but I have my explanations. We will meet soon and talk about all that. Chase your dream my son. I l-love you." Riley was already on the verge of crying when he heard his mother's last sentence.

"Thanks mom."Riley could only say that because he had complicated feelings towards his mother. Kiara hearing this only let out a dry laugh. "Goodbye I guess. For now though. Call me more this time please." Kiara said before she hung up. Riley could tell from her voice that she was a little emotional. "Okay, that's done. Now to inform your old man." Coach Almedia said and Riley's eyes flashed with determination but he looked over at Nux, "Mr Nux I think it is better we go together." Nux chuckled when he saw Riley being nervous. "Sure, let's go."

The group of 4 entered into one of the two vehicles that were parked there and Riley saw Ben and Ruben in the other one, 'Im guessing they must be going to Ruben's place.' Riley thought. Andre and Adela saw them leaving and concluded that they must be going to inform Riley's father wanted to go but hesitated. "You know what? Tell me about it tomorrow brother." Andre said before he left for his house with his little sister.
