“Any chance I can count on you as a sponsor for the program?” Yep, she exhibits that no BS attitude.
“Sure, what do you need?”
“A lady just informed us that she still has four tickets; we thought all tickets were sold out.”
“I’ll take all four.”
Her eyes widen.
“For real?!” she questions, like I couldn’t possibly be serious.
“Yes, for real. I was told the tickets were sold out.”
“So, we all thought, until thirty minutes ago, when she said someone changed their mind about the tickets.”
“Lucky me, then. How do I pay you?”
“Cash or you can transfer to this account?” She hands me the flyer. I take the flyer from her and call Patrick.
“Boss,” he answers right away.
“Hey, I need you to transfer four thousand to the account that I will be sending to you, right away.”
“Okay, send me the details.” I hang up and send him the information, then turn to Andrea.
“Done. You should receive the funds in a few minutes.”
She smiles.
“I knew, I liked you."
“You’ll have those tickets by the end of the program today?”
“Absolutely and thank you. You just saved the day.”
I nod and head towards where Zack is parked. Once seated in the car, I call Declan.
"Hey," he says, the word hanging in the crisp air.
“I just bought four tickets for the events.”
“That’s good news. Turns out Anne had promised three of the five we bought to her Twin, Dele and Luke. I called Lande after we spoke and she said tickets were sold out.”
“Apparently, someone turned down four about thirty minutes ago.”
“Perfect timing. If you don’t have anyone for the tickets, I will take them from you.”
“I might save two for my sister and her ex. I’m hopeful Cara might get to perform, and the last one for Bruce.” Maggie would be happy to get a ticket, turns out by the time Ms K invited her private lesson kids to join, the tickets were already sold out. Now I just need to push for Cara to perform.
“Okay, cool. But let me know if you don’t use them all. Anne’s best friend and my sister want one.”
“Sounds good.” I hung up. I smile, knowing the universe is working in my favor, and I realize that Andrea is my ally. Cole A is a work in progress.

Nkem’s brilliant idea was for me to get laid, like I could just pick a guy off the street and say, “fuck me”.
