Venus Vs Mars

Chapter 38

The sun beamed down on the LSU campus, it may have been January but the warm 57 degree weather would tell you otherwise. That afternoon word spread that not only Massy was at LSU but Odell was also home. More people than usual seemed to fill the LSU stadium. Massy stood outside the girls locker room waiting for them to bring her in. Heather spoke to the head coach that morning letting her know she had a surprise for Alex and the girls, the coach being beyond excited agreed to have Massy in the locker room.

The girls gathered in the locker room doing their usual pregame rituals. Massy prompt to randomly walk in as the girls paid no attention to who was coming in or out, they were just ready to play.

"Where's Alex?" Massy asked walking further into the locker room through a sea of purple and yellow soccer uniforms, not giving the girls a chance to even realize what was going on.

Alex looked up curiosity on her face, her eyes widened, her mouth opened, she covered her face with her hands in embarrassment as Massy spotted her and walked closer the rest of the girls smiling and squealing "oh my god." Coming from their mouths, Massy grabbed Alex's wrists and pulled at them.

"I came to wish you luck!" She said pulling her hands from her face and exposing her bright red cheeks.

Alex was on the verge of crying. "Are you serious!" Was all she could manage to get out, her face beginning to hurt at not being able to stop smiling.

Massy led the girls out the locker room, sitting in the stands cheering for Alex and the rest of the girls. LSU beating Alabama 1-3. Massy stayed after the game as long as she could signing autographs on whatever people handed her, taking selfies, and hugging fans.

Massy had truly never felt so good, she could admit playing the game was great, but seeing people's reaction to your God given talent was what made it worth it. Once again she understood why Odell was so passionate about football, why he got frustrated at not completing a play, why he practiced and trained so hard. It was all about the outcome, of the income you put in your craft.

Odell leaned with his back against the kitchen counter, Massy with her back against the same counter, standing side by side.

"That was dope, surprising my lil cousin like that." He said slightly turning his head looking at her out the corner of his eyes.

Massy folded her arms across her chest. "She's really good! In about five years she'll be gunning for my spot." She said with a confident smile.

"That's perfect then." A devilish grin crossed his face. Massy looked up at him a bit confused. "Cuz in about six years you giving me a ODB 3." He said reading her mind.

Massy frowned and c****d her head back. "I didn't agree on that, YOU agreed on that, YOU still have to find a girl that will give you one." She closed her eyes shaking her head.

Odell pushed off the counter and faces Massy, his arms on either side of her as he placed his palms on the counter leaning against it, Massy stood up straight, unfolding her arms. "I already have." This time Odell said it much more louder and clearer for her to hear, no mumbling and pretending to fall asleep and running to the bathroom.

He looked her in the eyes, a very serious but soft look on his face. Massy began to grow hot, she could feel the warmth of his body against hers. Massy breathed in deeply filling her nostrils with his cologne, she held it, then let it out. "This is new, I'm liking it." She said changing the subject, tugging on a full beard that was perfectly tapered around his square jawline.

"Going for a more, grown man look." He said as he enjoyed her touching his face.

"That's kind of hard when you have a baby face" she said raising a eyebrow.

Instead of responding he licked his lips, Massy dropped her hand from his beard, he pressed himself against her, closing the gap. Odell wrapped his large hand around the back of Massy's neck and pulled her head to meet his and pressed his lips against hers. She closed her eyes, as he deepened the kiss sliding his tongue further into her mouth, finally wrapping her arms around his shoulders, Odell picked her up, placing her top of the kitchen counter, forcing her thighs open to stand in between them, her fingers intertwined in his curly hair. Massy bit down on his bottom lip as he slowly pulled away from her.

"Best friends don't kiss like dat." Odell said, his voice extremely low and deep, goosebumps lined her arms at the sound of it.

"We're not just best friends." She said pecking his lips looking at him, his natural lazy eyes barley open.

Massy had thought a lot about what Heather said, probably more than she should have, but she realized she put a label on Odell before he could even prove himself to her, completely shutting him out due to her father's infidelity to her mother. To Odell that wasn't fair, and Massy realized that, to her it wasn't fair. 

Odell raised an eyebrow and leaned his head back. "More, huh?"

Massy played with the curls on the back of his head. "Give me six years and a 2nd Olympics, and I'll give your ODB3 Hybrid."

Odell laughed at her using the term hybrid, he leaned back in closer to her and pecked her lips. "We got a deal." He said in agreement sliding his tongue back in her mouth.

Slightly lifting up her shirt to squeeze on her hips. "You know I want more than one, right." He said, his words muffled due to his lips against hers.

Massy pulled away. "Awww hold on! We ain't agree on all that!" She pushed against him.

Odell wrapped his arms tightly around her body. "Too late!" He said attacking her neck.

Massy trying to pull away from him. "No! That's not what we agreed on..." She was cut of by Odell kissing her.

"Nope, too late! We already together! Too late." He said kissing her face, Massy tired her hardest to keep from laughing, but couldn't his beard tickling her neck as his fingers tickled her side.
