Venus Vs Mars

Chapter 59

As team USA landed in beautiful Brazil. Massy took in all the sights that Rio had to offer, the perfect weather being a setting to the week to come, the sun beaming down on Massy as her and a few of her teammates stood in waist-high pool water enjoying their downtime after they finished practicing. She may have had minor slip-ups but she made it, even if USA did lose to Brazil they'd still qualify for the World Cup finals. The team was more so just set on making sure Brazil didn't have an undefeated season

Photos of Michael arriving at LAX Airport boarding a plane began to surface, because of Massy being linked to him before she was tagged by fan pages, assuming they knew where he was going, Massy frowned, he hadn't mentioned any planes that required for him to have to take a flight, but she ultimately shook it off, he and her weren't in a relationship and what he did with his time didn't concern her, Massy did like a majority of the photos due to how fine he managed to easily look.

Fans and media that had access to the open practices showed up, taking as many photos as they possibly could, Massy and her teammates stood on the sidelines signing autographs. Unlike Sweden team USA had a very warm welcome, Massy personally was welcomed, fans thanked her for her actions against Sweden. Earlier in the year, Sweden pulled the same issue with Brazil and their star players, once being beaten by them, they too demanded an apology for the Brazil team celebrating after scoring goals. Also being the country where her mother was from, fans knew of her background embracing her with open arms. As the practice ended Team USA took to a quick press conference.

"Nice practice, I see Brazil loves you." Michael complimented Massy through the phone.

Massy smiled but frowned at the same time. "How do you know if it was a nice practice or not!?" She teased him.

"I saw the team, looking like you've never had a injury." Massy frowned in confusion. Her silence made Michael laugh, he could tell she was trying to piece together the puzzle.

"Are you here!? Where are you!?" Massy demanded knowing something was up she got straight to the point.

"Come to the elevator, the floor under you." Massy opened her hotel door, still on the phone with him, she looked to the left and right she pushed the elevator button waiting for it to come.

The doors opened and Michael stood leaning against the wall, his earbuds in his ear so he could talk to Massy without holding his phone, he smiled big causing his dimples to appear, he stood up straight and began walking towards Massy, her mouth still wide open in surprise, he pulled the earbuds from his ears shoving them in his pocket and pulled her into a hug.

Massy smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck as his around her waist, she closed her eyes at the smell of his cologne, his soft warm hands lightly but firmly touching her back, she could feel his warm breath on the side of her neck as he breathed out. "What! Are you doing here!?" She said pulling from him, he still held onto her waist as she placed her hands on his arms looking up at him.

"I came to see you play." He simply said as if there was nothing to it. Massy shook her head completely speechless. Michael could tell she was taken back by his gesture. "Technically... I'm working, I have a film festival I have to attend, got some nominations for Creed, but I came a few days early so I could see you play."

Massy shyly put her face down smiling and laughing, she looked up and frowned at him. "That's crazy... I mean, you got other important stuff to do besides see me play." She arched an eyebrow assuming that he had a lot of press to do.

Michael released his arms from around her waist and leaned against the wall, Massy folded her arms across his chest. "I do, I have a lot of important stuff to do, and one of those important things that I have to do is see you play, so I'm here early to do so." He said letting her know that she was one of those priorities. Even though Massy wasn't his girlfriend, nor were they even talking to have a potential relationship. Michael managed to do in a few weeks what Odell should have done in months. See her play soccer.

Massy stood looking at him, not sure what to say, or if she should say something. "Thank you... I mean, wow that means a lot." She said sounding genuinely honored that he would even think to see her when he could have easily watched her on tv.

Michael nodded and smiled. "I know you athletes got curfews and what not and I know you're in your game time mode, so I don't want to keep you too long, I just wanted to let you know I'll be out there watching you." He flashed his dimples and winked at her, pulling her into a hug, and kissing the side of her cheek. Massy was in shock at how unselfish he was, knowing that she was focused he didn't ask for any of her time.

Massy didn't know what was going on with her body, but for some odd reason she turned on beyond belief at his discretion and his knowledge of her time. "I got two hours until curfew... Hungry?" Before Massy could stop herself the words fell from her mouth. If you would of asked Massy if she knew a Odell Beckham Jr, she'd look at you like you were crazy and shake her head no. Somehow Michael made her forget about any and every problem she was currently dealing with.

Michael smiled. His eyes becoming extremely soft a small grin on his face. "I can go for some food."
