Venus Vs Mars

Chapter 26

"Well, Mrs. Arias you're not pregnant.... I assume that's good news for you?" The doctor could tell by the look on Massy's face she was more than thankful for the results, she was seconds away from jumping off the table and kissing the doctor.

"Uum a large amount of blood in your urine, obviously because you are definitely on your period. There was some very slight tearing along your walls, but that's nothing for you to worry about, it's common when dealing with a partner that's..... Larger than what you are used to.... Or say what your v****a is used to, but that will change once you do get used to his size." The doctor said as she held on to her clipboard, Massy made a weird face as images of Odell's p***s popped up in her head. Odell was probably larger than what any woman was use too.

"Damn! How big is his d**k!?" Mari blurted out in question forgetting where she was for a split second.

Massy and the doctor both turned to Mari, Massy frowned at her giving her an evil look. "72 hours, Mari, you're now at 72 hours!" Massy hissed at her sister pointing her index finger. Mari rolled her eyes and say back in the chair folding her arms across her chest as if she was a child that just got yelled at from a parent.

The doctor continued looking at Mari for a few seconds then at Massy. "But uum..... Other than that, no baby and as healthy as an ox, no infections, diseases, just a monthly period." The doctor smiled, as she handed Massy her paper work.

"Thank you so much, I appreciate you seeing me with scheduling and appointment.... Last minute." Massy said grabbing the papers that held her test results.

The doctor waved Massy off. "It's not a problem at all." She said with a smile reaching to shake Massy's hand. "And congratulations, good luck with everything."

Massy smiled. "Thank you."

With week thirteen behind him, it was time to focus on weak spots. Odell's light training in between games were just what they were called. Light training. Only consisting of running, foot work, and working on his catching. Making sure his body stayed loose.

He flipped through sports radio stations hearing what the topic was, some football, some basketball, some about Odell and the hype circulated around him, with Victor Cruz being off the field, he was expected to carry the Giants to perfect season. He listened, taking in the comments negative and positive.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Massy twiddled her thumbs, waiting for Odell to get to her house, she didn't want to tell Odell what was going on, but Mari was right, he had a right to know. She chewed on her cheek, tapped her foot, played with her hair. She threw herself across the couch, normally it seemed like it took Odell seconds to get to her house, but this time it seemed like it took days. She huffed flipping through channels, even read the promising statement on the back of a Aquafina water bottle.

She jumped at the sound of her doorbell, her nerves rattled she fumbled the water bottle into the air, eventually letting it fall to the floor, she picked it up and sat it on the coffee table. Odell was always the face of perfection, Massy sadly forced a smile as he pulled her into a hug.

"What's up baby girl?" He asked walking to her couch and collapsing onto it. Massy sat down in the single chair diagonal from him, he looked at her, the fact that she didn't sit next to him seemed to throw him off a bit. "What's goin on?" He asked, but sounding more of a demand.

Massy bit her bottom lip. "I didn't get my period for a while.... So I went to the doctors." Odell stood up and walked behind the couch both his arms holding him up as he leaned against it his head down, and the hood of his sweatshirt covering his head.

Massy put her head down looking at her hands. "But it's fine now, I handled it."

Before Massy could continue Odell's head shot up, a deep frown on his face. "Wha you mean you handled it!" He stood up straight walking closer to her, confusion, concern, and anger all over his face. Massy stood up from the chair feeling uncomfortable as he closed in on her.

"It's fine, Odell, I handled it, everything is ok." She repeated agin, looking confused.

"WHA YOU MEAN YOU HANDLED IT!" His voice turned into a loud roar, he gripped Massy's arms aggressively yanking her to him, fear flooding his wide eyes as he looked down at hers, his nostrils flared as his breathing began to deepen. At that moment she realized she used the wrong words, but her nerves had her completely discombobulated.

Massy tightened up as his hands gripped tighter around her arms. "I wasn't pregnant! I was scared that I didn't get my period, so I went for a check up, I wasn't pregnant." She said as her eyes welled up and her voice shaking.

Odell closed his eyes, Massy could see his jaw twitching, as he calmed himself down, loosening his grip around her arms, he covered his mouth for a second then turned away from her. Massy could tell he feared that she could have possibly had an abortion, considering the choice of words she used. She had never seen him this way, sure he had games where she seen him frustrated, but she never seen him this dark and scared.

She looked down at her arms, white hand prints slowly began to turn red as that portion of her arms regained its color back. He turned back around facing her.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to go off like that Massy." He apologized as he stepped closer to her, the tears began to fall down her cheek, she took a step back.

He closed his eyes at her gesture feeling beyond hurt at his own actions. "Ace please, I'm sorry." He pleaded with her, holding his hand out. Massy stepped forward, he pulled her into a tight hug, wrapping his arms around her shoulders. "I'm sorry." He kissed the top of her head as he held her. Massy pushed against him releasing herself from his hug.

"How is this going to work!?"

"How is what going to work?" Confusion set back on his face.

"This, us Odell! I'm getting ready to leave! You're still in your season! When are we supposed to see one another!?"

"Massy our seasons barely over lap! We make it work just like any other couple!" He debated back at her.

"Odell you need to find someone who can be here with you, somebody you don't have to chase around the damn world! that's not me, this whole thing was a mistake."

Odell frowned at her comments he took several steps back from her. "So, I'm a mistake that you made?" He frowned in confusion.

Massy closed her eyes, once again she used the wrong words, her mind and emotions completely out of tune. "No no you're not, that's not...."

"MASSY WHAT THE f**k ARE YOU SCARED OF!?" He yelled across the room at her, the bass in his voice bouncing off the walls. Massy jumped covering her mouth, tears now heavily pour down her face.

"YOU! ME! US! I'm scared that you won't be happy with me! I'm scared I'll be holding you back from doing what you want, I don't want you to feel trapped. Massy finally blurted out.

Odell was quiet for a moment. "When have I ever told you I wasn't happy wit you? When have I ever told you you was holdin me back from doin anything!?" He asked his voice much quieter than before his eyes closed as he tried to remain calm.

"I'm sorry. I can't." She said quietly trying to stop herself from her crying.

Odell stood with his eyes closed digesting her last words. The frustration he felt was similar to that of a bad game, trying your hardest to complete a play, making sure your steps are counted, your feet are planted, your body is in position, but no matter what you do some how the opposing team continues to shut him down. There was nothing he could do but watch the clock run down.

Massy wanted nothing more than to try with Odell, but the fear of falling in love with him and him possible breaking her heart seemed to out weigh her wanting to be with him. Her fear being similar to that of a first game. Against a foreign team she's never played. She had no clue how rough or tough the other team was, she had no clue if they played dirty, taking cheap shots here and there when the refs weren't looking. That fear seemed to drive her further and further away from her goal.
