I then began my every-day routine. Going to school, checking on the results of my bets, and mostly spending time with my mother and the Thompsons while also training as much as possible.
I couldn't have any money until the end of the Champions League, until the end of May. So I had to keep living in this condition for 1 more month.
...
A month really fly by when you are busy, my mother was still astonished about our results in the gambling and had several repair projects for the house ready to go. Is always lovely to see my mother thinking about "extraordinary expenses" is to change the roof of our house because it leaks when it rains.

Gunter's POV
MOTHER FUCKER! WHO THE HELL SET ME UP?!
COWBOYS UNITED FOR SURE!! THAT MOTHERFUCKER OF LUCKY DAN FOR SURE!!!
I WILL KILLED THEM ALLLLL!!!
Shit shit shit! One win strike after another the constantly mocks of my coworkers! I think I should just retire...NO! I WILL NOT DO IT! IF I DO THAT THEY WILL WIN!
Anyway, my commission was a messy 125k compared with the 2.5M...That stinky brat really had a tight contract, I can't get around it. And also he has 2 copies of the document as a backup! SHIT! I can't even alter it without him noticing it!
I guess I have no more option to give them the money, but I have to start again with low bets for a year to recover my loss. Thank god it was not my money! But still, the company is pretty pissed off so I should stay low and gain little. Fucking kid.
From that day onwards Gunter was known as Santa Claus for giving a lot of money to a child.
....
Anyway, we won and we were really excited! We went immediately to the betting place where they gave us the money almost 2.5 Million!
After the grumpy Gunter gave us the check with fury in his eyes and told us to not come back to this betting station anymore. We went home laughing and smiling from one ear to the other.
We were millionaires! Almost 2.5 Million! Of course, it was all in the name of my mother, but she said that she would only let me have the money when I was older to not make silly expenses.
Oh, mothers and then unnecessary worries! I won't expend it on drugs and hookers! Anyway, we now were finally rich!
The first change I asked my mother was to search for a professional football coach, the best one available. And I asked her to rent or buy a football field near our house. They were a few abandoned lots that were big enough for a football field, but they needed to be cleaned and properly equipped.
She thought about it and agreed, it was a good investment anyway, a lot of kids wanted to play football nowadays and this area didn't have a football field. We could rent it when I wasn't using it if I feel like it. The football Field cost around 200k and was 2 blocks away.
I also asked her to have an appointment with one of the best nutritionist in Washington. Of course, we had to pay individually since our health insurance didn't cover any of it. She was a bit perplexed about that but since it was a doctor it couldn't be bad anyway no? So she agreed too. It was still expensive as fuck to bring a top doctor to your home, a whole 50k.
Oh, I also asked her to buy one of the best seeds for fruits and vegetables for Ms. Thompson and a message sofa for Mr. Thompson. Just a detail that is not expensive enough but as a thank you kind of gesture. That was about 30k total.
She nodded and told me that I was a good kid to think about them, and then she asked me if I wanted any toys or anything like that. I only said, "I want to have a professional football clothing and a couple of footballs!" She smiled and said, of course, I could have that. That was about 10k, it was a lot of clothes and especially the football shoes!
...
The Next week was a busy one, my mother already had a good construction company that she knows because of the previous works at the hospital and began to repair our home. First things the roof, next was all the trash on our yard, that we needed to clear. Also, she wanted a swimming pool, I told her to build one but one with temperature control, so we could use it in winter and summer. She defeatedly agreed but not without telling me that was so much waste of money without a proper cause. The total cost was about 250k estimated.
We also went shopping and began to buy a lot of football clothing and football balls. And with my bugging, I also managed to buy her new clothes and for me too, they were simple and not extravagant clothes from first brands, but practical ones with a comfortable feeling. It was 10k too, we needed to buy a bigger dresser to put all the new clothes.
We also order to deliver our present to the Thompsons on the weekend to surprise them. My mother already bought a lot and asked around for a construction team to build a professional football field. It seems that they were a couple of them, so she wanted to choose the best one.
But after choosing one, the field would be cleared out of the junk in one week and installed with a proper grass field. After that, they would build a dressing room, with a bathroom and even a grade on the side to let people watch. She didn't want to build a fence but I insisted, she is too trusting of people that's why they took advantage of her. The estimated cost was even higher than the cost of the plot itself, it was an astounding 300k, Jesus those contractors are rich for a reason.
When people began to know she had money they began to ask her, she almost gave it to them when I stop her and proposed something. We could begin a charity organization, and we could transfer and amount of money there and help the needed. So if people really needed money for a good cause they could get it from there. We could also organize food raising events to increase the founds in the future. We agreed to donate 500k for the beginning of the charity.
The weekend arrived and we spent our time with the Thompsons as usual... And the gift arrived, the Thompsons were really happy! Even Robert let low shout of pleasure when the new sofa activated the massage sofa. I didn't know if it was good enough or if they would like it, so I didn't buy 2. If Rachael like it I could buy one for her. Later she told me that I was not necessary, that she would share the one that Robert has on the night before going to bed to relax her body a little.
I nodded and thanked them for all the trouble they had. I also had a hidden present that I needed a good carpenter to do, maybe one of the construction workers knows a good individual one.
I reserve the best for last! I asked for a favor of Mr. Thompson to deliver the present to my home. It was a brand new car! An easy to drive Ford with a big trunk to her to bring all the things she wanted! And the best of all, automatic transmission! Well, this was common here in the US, but in Europe was an oddity. I missed those days of driving as easy as a karting car. It was the Ford Focus 2003 in color red! Her favorite color!
She looked at me, then at the car, then at me again and started crying and kissing me! What an embarrassment! Even the sale car woman began to laugh. My mother signed the contract and was ready to go! It was only 15k.
She was crying while driving, she was alone because she was worried about her driving skills that would deteriorate over the years so she didn't let me in yet.
After that, we talked and told her that now that we have more money she doesn't have to work 3 shifts almost every day. That she could busy herself painting at home like she used to do back then and spend more time with. I didn't tell her about quit working because she loved her job, and between her job, the charity, painting and me, she would be busy enough, and happy enough I hope!
She agreed but temporarily, just to get things back in order. But I knew that it was just an excuse to herself to relax a little. That was what I was after. Finally, she can relax and enjoy the childhood of his son and his prime days! Maybe even get another husband what is there to lose?
....
One week passed and I keep going to school with my old football ball and my new comfy clothes. Several kids asked me If I was rich now and told them that If I was rich why I was still attending this public school? They nodded and told me that I was right, and they forget about the issue.
I had an appointment with the nutritionist, she was a lady in their fifties, Sophie Grant. We could contact her so soon because my mother asks the hospital director for a favor, and told him that her new charity would prioritize request from the hospital first. She came to our house and asked several questions about what were my activities and what were my goals, my mom was there with me but couldn't answer properly like me. So we had a new meal plan with all the proteins and vitamins necessary for my growth and activities expenses. She gave me her number and told me that if I felt tired or without energy after some practice to call her and she would tell me what to eat to feel better. She also recommended a local chef to have him to cook at us.
My mother was thrilled with the idea of her not cooking anymore, but was a little apprehensive to have a stranger at our home alone when she wasn't there. She told her that she would think about it.
Before she left I asked if she knows a good professional football coach available to help me train.
She looked up and down at me and told me "Yes, I know someone, but he's pretty selective and has a bad temper. That's why not a lot people want to hire him, I can ask him to come tomorrow, but don't have too high of expectations of you getting selected"
I thanked her and began my preparations for tomorrow. The football field was 2 blocks away from my house and was properly illuminated. We had a rotating 24 hs caretaker of the field keeping it clean and watching no one barges in. Well, It was only a football field with a bunch of external constructions lightings and material. But it still worth ten thousands of dollars, you would never know who would want one of that.
I trained there for 2 hours and came home, my mother was cooking one of the meals according to the meal plan. It was strange because it was the first time cooking something like that, but it was good enough. I help her and ended my day as usual.
...
The next day, after school on my football field an old man was standing in the middle of the field and looked at me for a couple of seconds. He then said "Another brat thinking is the next sensation of football! You have one chance to impress me. Come here you brat!"
