Venus Vs Mars

Chapter 66

Odell had a few preseason meeting, picking up a few important pieces of paper. Preseason was four months away but dates and times were beginning to be set.

"Odell, this s**t is ridiculous."  Massy said opening a package that had been delivered to the facility that contained custom catching gloves for him. Odell looked over at Massy watching her slip the size 3XL gloves on her size small hand.

"They da only gloves that fit my fingers all the way." Odell said smiling while looking down at the piece of paper. The gloves were so big she could fit both hands in one. Odell watched her as she played with his gloves in amazement.

Massy began messing with equipment that sat piled up in a white bin, she shoved the shoulder pads on, then one of the un-named jerseys. "Help meeee!" She begged trying to put the shirt on at the same times as the shoulder pads were on.

"Da hell are you doing!?" He frowned looking up at her, he stood up up trying not to laugh at her struggle. "Well if ya head wasn't so big, damn... Hold on." He said shoving her head through the collar of the jersey and pulled it over the shoulder pads. She then clumsily pulled up a pair of pants over her shorts. She stood up straight and grabbed a helmet and shoved her head in it.

"Iigh, I'm ready, let's go." She said with confidence, followed by a muffled clap due to the heavy large catching gloves on her hands.

"You tryna run some plays, you a Receiver now." He asked looking at her.

"Yup, about to replace you." She teased looking back at him through the face mask.

"Let's see what you got then." He lightly tapped the side of the helmet.

Massy and Odell walked out onto the indoor field, Leigh the team therapist stood out there with his arms folded across his chest as he spoke to one of the coaches, and the equipment managers, a few other staff members stood along the sidelines as well listening. "Uh oh! Uh oh, is that who I think it is!? What you doing! All suited up!?"

Leigh pulled Massy into a hug looking at her through the helmet. "I'm gonna be the new wide receiver!" She said nodding her head.

Leigh began laughing. "I knew you couldn't stay away."

Massy lined up on the 30 yard line, crouching down. "BLUE 42 BLUE 42, HUT HUT HIKE!" Massy began running backwards, the equipment manager waited for the perfect distance to throw her the football, Massy reached up and caught the ball, and began running for the end zone.

"MY PANTS ARE FALLING! WAIT!" The football pants that were way to big for her lower half began falling around her waist then knees the more she kept running.

Odell leaned forward and began cracking up. "YOU GOTTA KEEP GOING! FINISH THE PLAY!" He yelled cupping his hands around his mouth making his voice louder. Massy continued to the end zone trying her hardest to run with football pants around her calves. "She's a f*****g mess." He said under his breath standing next to Leigh as they both laughed at her.

"MASSY! Com'mer!" Odell yelled from the bottom of the steps, his voice bouncing off the walls.

Massy appeared around the corner, standing at the top of the steps in a pair of black leggings and a thin grey Nike pullover. She looked down the steps, not quite sure what she was looking at due to Odell's large hand and fingers wrapped around the gift, she began walking down each step slowly, as she got close enough to finally see the gift she began screaming.

"AAAHHHHHHH OH MY GOD!!!! WHO'S IS THIS!!!????" Excitement filled her voice as she reached for the black and white puppy pitbull cradled in Odell's hands.

"It's our new daughter." He said looking at Massy then at the small puppy placing it in her arms. "Are you crying!?" Odell's eyes widened as he asked her, he leaned down trying to look at her face. Massy began balling as she held the puppy in her hands.

"She's so cuuuttteee." She said as tears fell down her face.

"What the hell, why are you crying." Odell asked still not understanding what was wrong with her. Odell looked over at his best friend Chris who began laughing at Massy.

"She's so beautiful, I... I just want to loooovvvveeee heeerrrr." Massy said at the same time as she was crying holding the puppy to her face.

"Awww rookie come here." Odell said still laughing but pulling her into a hug. "Stop crying." He began wiping the tears from her face as he held both Massy and the puppy close to him, yet still laughing at her braking down and crying.

Dre stood at both Massy and Odell's feet looking up in confusion to what the fuss was about, he could smell the new dog but couldn't see it due to it being cradled in Massy's arms. She squatted down, letting Dre see the new puppy, he sniffed at it for a few seconds, then lost interest when he realized it wasn't a toy or food, and simply walked away. Massy walked over to the couch and sat down, the puppy laying in her lap.

"What you going to name her?" He asked looking down at Massy and the puppy.

Massy looked down at the puppy laying on her back in her lap, she paused for a moment. "Koba"

Odell smiled at Massy, knowing exactly where the name came from. He nodded, "I like it."

Massy posted the photo to her i********:, Odell reposting the photo and adding his own caption, that was also his way of letting any and everyone know he was back with Massy. He looked at Massy as she became obsessed with the puppy. He pressed his lips together nodding to himself. He was building his own little family with Massy, if he couldn't have children with her just yet, he'd settle for dogs with her until it was time.
