Venus Vs Mars Pt.II

Chapter 47

For a split moment Massy's infertility issue had vanished at the sight of her UCLA teammate and best friend Kristie Mewis making her return back on the field. After tearing her ACL and endless recovering and therapy, it was time. 

"I'm back! I'm back I'm back I'm back!" Kristie danced as she walked across the field. Massy waisted no time in sprinting across the field and pulling her into a tight hug. 

"You going to Rio!?" Massy wasted no time in asking her. 

"WE'RE going to Rio!" She corrected Massy. Kristie had made it back in just enough time to travel with the team and be a substitute for the rosters forwards, making sure she played but did stress her injury. Even though she was one hundred percent, Jill didn't want to risk re-injuring one of her best forward. With Abby retiring, it was better to have Massy and Kristie, than just Massy. 

"Oh my god I'm so happy you're back! Finally they let you out! How's everything... Your ACL?" Massy leaned back in her chair. Several muffled conversations could be heard over the mid-tempo music, restaurant staff worked their way weaving in and out of tables with drinks and dishes of food. 

Kristie rolled her eyes and sighed. "I'm just happy to be done, therapy was just the worst, everything was just the worst. Halfway through my rookie season and this happens. I'm like really!?" 

"Well, you're back you're healthy! Happy! I'm happy you're back!" Kristie lit up with a smile as Massy spoke about her health. 

"How's the season with the Flash?" Kristie asked picking up her water and taking a sip, it was Massy's turn to roll her eyes. 

"It's great. I was happy I got to stay in New York. For a minute it really looked like Atlanta was going to be drafting me instead." Massy frowned then her face lit up as if her memory sparked. "OH! guess who I play with on the Flash!?" 

Kristie also frowned, not sure of any others girls they knew. She thought for a moment of any UCLA rookies. "Who?" 

"Odell's ex girlfriend, Sophie." Massy shot Kristie a smile.

"I didn't know he had an ex that played pro." 

Massy rolled her eyes upward and shrugged her shoulders. "Neither did I! We acquired her as an alternate. So I meet her and she had this whole timid thing about her, she's telling me where she's from, went to Alabama then transferred to LSU, so I'm like oh, so you know Odell!? And she's like yea, he was really popular there but I just know he played football. So leave it up to Mari to find this girls i********: and Twitter and guess what it's filled with!? Photos of her and Odell. I'm taking road trips, and she at his sporting events, they even had dogs together, SHE BOUGHT HIM DRE! I'm like this b***h! Acted like she didn't really know Odell!" Kristie's face twisted and turned at the ups and downs of the story. 

"Oh my god. Wait you and Odell were dating by then, so she obviously knew who you was!" Kristie noted as she added more pieces to the story. 

"Oh, she knew exactly who I was." Massy said raising and eyebrow. 

"Wait, you don't think the only reason she went for The Flash was so she could be... Close to Odell... Maybe?" Kristie gave Massy an odd look. "I mean she's obviously from the south and is stationed... And if she's coming on as a alternate, why didn't she just go to Atlanta, or Huston, or even Orlando! Like, why would you come all the way to NEW YORK to play SUB!" Kristie said eyeing Massy. 

Massy didn't think that far into it, all she knew was that she wanted to stay as far from Sophie as she could and that was for Sophie's protection, not hers. Massy thought for a moment. "But, I mean if she was going to make a move she would of... It's been a year since she's been up here!" 

"Maybe she's just waiting for the perfect time." Kristie said before taking another drink. 

"To do what!?" Massy c****d her head back and arched an eyebrow.

"I don't know." Kristie said shrugging her shoulders and looking down at the melting ice in her water.

Massy sat back in her chair, and folded her arms. She looked at Kristie with squinted eyes as she thought to herself. She fell into a moment of silence. "Well, with the past that her and Odell have... Odell wouldn't touch her with his enemies hand." 

Thick gray clouds had threatened to rain on the Giant's training camp all practice. Odell's training had begun rubbing off on rookie Sterling Shepard, both receivers spent more than two hours catching nothing but bad tosses. Too high, too low, too far out left, and right. There was many things Odell was known for and one of those many things was being able to catch any ball, bad or good. His height clearly was never a a factor, he had the leaping ability of anybody six foot and taller. All Eli had to do was throw a ball up and Odell could pluck it mid-air.

"A bad ball is a bad ball, no matter where on the field you run." Odell spoke a lot more serious than normal. Massy and her health issue had been on his mind since she confessed it to him, but he didn't let it stop him or frustrate him to the point that he couldn't practice. "You just gotta be able to catch ANYthing. Turn a bad ball into a good play." Odell spoke with his catching gloves attached to the bars of his helmet.

He nodded his head in understanding. Sterling was getting better at catching bad passes he didn't see why Odell spent so much time on that on bad catches, until now. Sterling could tell by the tone of his voice that he wasn't in the greatest mood but the dark visor attached to his his face mask hid his eyes and a majority of his facial expressions. Sterling shrugged his shoulders and blamed Odell's mood on the weather.

Fans lined up behind the blue tape getting autographs from Giants players. Odell found himself signing merchandise that he really didn't want to at the moment, interacting with people that he did appreciate, but could pass on being around. Massy possibly being infertile was a shock but the more he thought about it the more he realized it wasn't. As much often he and Massy had s*x without protection, as often as he released himself inside of her, Massy should of been on their fourth child by now. Odell c****d his head as he thought to himself with a frown as he fell into a silent routine of scribbling his name across objects in black permanent marker.
