Venus Vs Mars

Chapter 9

Massy stood at the food counter looking up at the endless choices of food. Odell standing next to her doing the same thing. A slim teenage girl with bright blonde hair pulled back into a high ponytail stood at the back counter texting on her phone, occasionally popping her gum as she waited for them to let her know they were ready.

"Let me get uh large....."

"OH MY GOD! You're Odell Beckham!" She focused on him for a moment then realized someone was standing next to him. "You're Massy! Massy Arias! I follow you guys on i********:. I play soccer too! But I'm only a sophomore so I barley get PT!" The girl's blue eyes began to get brighter by the minute. "This is amazing I can't believe this, are you going to go Pro? You should so go Pro, you'll be in the Olympics!"

Massy smiled at the girl. "I am going to go pro, but don't say anything I haven't gone public with it." Massy winked at the girl. Odell smiled at Massy looking between her and the teenage girl, as she focused in on Massy.

The girl continued her "oh my god" rant for a few more minutes before she realized she had yet to take their order. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, I completely forgot about your orders."

After they ordered, Odell pulled a twenty-dollar bill from his pocket, Massy also reached into her pocket pulling out money. She slid the money across the counter, Odell pushed it back towards her and handed his money to the girl. "Stop paying for stuff!" Massy yelled at Odell.

"What!?" He said with wide eyes.

"This is not a date. We pay for our own stuff!" She said laughing.

The teenage girl looked between the both of them as they went back and forth, her eyebrows touching her hairline. Odell rolled his eyes and brushed Massy off handing the girl the money.

"Don't you take that!!! Don't take it! Only put it towards his order!" Odell pressed his lips together and huffed out air through his nose. He grabbed Massy, pushing her behind his back, trying to quiet her.

"It's fake! Don't take it! It's illegal if you take it! he's trying to get you in trouble." The teenage girl held her breath not sure or not if she should take the money, her face still looking surprised, Odell placed the bill on the counter, trying to keep himself from laughing, he turned around and covered Massy's mouth with one hand and grabbed both her small wrists into his other hand and held them down in front of her.

"It's not fake, here, I promise it's not." He calmly said as if he didn't have squirming women in his arms, her words muffled as she tried to speak through his hand.

The teenage girl finally grabbed the money, but she grabbed it slowly, she looked down at it and examined it for a few seconds the shrugged her shoulders and opened the register.

"Keep it." He said with a smile as the girl handed him his money, Massy still caught up in his arms trying to get free. The teenage girl smiled and turned around to get their orders.

Massy pushed her front door open, Odell behind her cracking up at a story she was telling him.

"Well about damn ti...... Well hello, Odaddy." Mari's eyes fixated on Odell as she spoke.

"Oh, God." Massy said closing her eyes. "Why now!?" Massy mumbled.

Odell's eyebrows raised and a small smile crossed his face as he looked at Mari, he held his hand out to introduce himself. "Odell."

"I'm Mari, Massy's older beautiful sister." She said putting her hand into his. "Pictures do you no justice, my God-ness." Looked him up and down as if he was an outfit on a clothing rack.

"I can tell, you two look a lot alike, extremely alike." He said looking between Massy and Mari.

"Well, yea, she got her looks from me, well what was left of them." Mari said smiling back.

Massy rolled her eyes. "Mari what are you doing here!?"

"Well since someone wasn't answering dad's back to back phone calls, he sent me over here to check on you, make sure you didn't fall and break a hip." Mari spoke to Massy but kept looking Odell up and down, still admiring him. "God forbid his Golden Child get injured, I'm still surprised he let you live alone."

"Hey! Excuse me! I'm over here!" Massy said waving her hand in Mari's face, Mari finally turned her attention to her sister.

"So, where are you two coming from?" Mari asked as she folded her arms across her chest with a big grin on her face as she put her attention back on Odell.

Odell looked at Massy not sure if he was supposed to answer her, he then looked at Mari. Batting Cages." He finally said.

"Oh, is that what you athletes do for dates? You go to sporty things and try to out sports one another?" Mari asked with a serious face.

"Yes, actually that is what we do." Massy said back as she walked passed Mari to the kitchen. "Just like when you and your model friends try to out makeup one another." Massy pulled a bottle of water from her fridge.

"Ooohhhh nice comeback." Mari rolled her eyes, Odell chuckled as he took a seat at one of the bar stools. "Anyway, now that I know you're ok, and hanging out with a living breathing chocolate fondue fountain." Mari eyed Odell again. "I will tell Coach Dad."

Odell tried to keep from laughing, his hand over his mouth. Massy watched Mari walk over to the living room and grab her purse from the couch.

"Oh, and Dad's freaking out about this whole going Pro thing." Mari said looking down in her purse for her car keys. "So you should probably call him ASAP before he passes a kidney stone or pops a blood vessel." Massy nodded her head, as she took a sip from the bottled water letting her sister know she heard her.

Mari pulled her car keys from her purse, she smiled at Odell. "Well, it was so nice to meet you, Odell." Mari held out her hand one last time to shake his.

Odell lightly grabbed her hand and nodded his head. "Likewise," he said with a smile.

"LOVE YOU!" Mari yelled as she walked towards the front door.

"LOVE YOU TOO!" Massy said back.

"There is a God and he plays for the New York Giants." Mari said under her breath as she pulled the door open, but still slightly loud enough for them to hear it, she made kissy faces at Massy behind Odell's back as she pulled the front door closed and locked it from the outside with her key.

Odell's eyebrows touched his hairline I'm surprised, his mouth open at hearing what she said, Massy's hand coving her face as she shook her head. He threw his thumb over his shoulder towards the door. Massy dropped her hand from her face and looked at him.

"She always like that?" Odell asked, still in surprise.

"24/7" Massy said shaking her head and looking up at the ceiling in embarrassment.

Odell began laughing again. "Wow."
