Chapter Twenty Two- Trials and Tribulations part three

Odell's words lingered in my head as I simply stared at him. For as long as I've known Odell and even before then, football has always been his life. I honestly could not even picture him working a 9-5. Football is all he knows, and taking that away from him would hurt him so deeply. But would I still love him? Of fucking course. Odell could be a damn garbage man and I would still love him the same. That's the difference between Nisha and me! I loved Odell for who he was and she loved him for who he was going to become and the money he was going to make. Sneaky bitch.

"Jazmine! Please say something. I need to know your answer" Odell pleaded pulling me from my thoughts. I smiled and squeezed his hand softly.

"Odell. Whether you play football or not has nothing to do with the love I have and will always have for you. Baby you are an amazing man. Period. Football is just a bonus." I assured him smiling some.

"How did I let you slip away" He said sighing wiping the tears from his eyes. "I'm out for the season Jaz." He blurted out after a moment of silence. My eyes got wide and I sighed. Well I wasn't expecting to hear that but I mean, life has its way of wake up calls.

"You're moving in with Liv and I. No if ands or buts" I said in a stern tone looking at him. He chuckled some and nodded his head. "Yeah, being in NY around this time will probably make a nigga depressed! As soon as I was down I started praying! The pain I felt! Man I knew it was over for me! Coach told me he cut into them niggas that hit me hard as hell." He explained shaking his head. "Well good" I replied smiling some at the thought of Coach yelling at his team.

For a while he and I were quiet just occasionally looking at each other and the TV until I spoke up. "Do you want to tell her?" I ask raising my eyebrow. He sighed and shook his head yes. "I know she'll be happy that I'm moving in for-real but I mean, I want it to come from me." He stated. I stood up and left out walking into the waiting room but I heard yelling. I jogged into the room and saw Nisha arguing with Leigh. Aw shit.

-

"Just take her back there to see Odell, He's gonna fill her in" I said to Odell's Mom. She was fed up with Nisha and her antics and I knew she didn't wanna be around for my shit. She chuckled and looked at them argue one last time before disappearing into the hallway.

"Enough!" I half yelled causing everyone to look at me. "Leigh take a walk. Where is Jarv and the baby?" I asked her. "He took her down to the hall to get away from all the noise" Kav explained still holding Leigh back. "Take her out while I talk to Nisha" I said exhaling deeply turning towards a heated Nisha.

"We ain't got shit to discuss Jazmine. Never did never wi-" She began to say.

"Shut the actual fuck up! We do have shit to discuss! Face the facts Nisha, we are going to be in each other's lives for the rest of our lives! I'm tired of doing this with your ass whenever you are around! You wanted to trap Odell? Fine. But he's never going to be in a relationship with you ever again? You do understand that right? He is out for the rest of the season! He is moving to Atlanta with me! So when you have this kid! You WILL make sure that he sees his kid or I will personally make sure that he is taken from you and you never see him again in your life. Ever since we were in college you have always been this bitch when it came to me. Odell realized that he was making a decision fucking with you so he made his way to me. Get over it. Enjoy your pregnancy and have this baby. Now Security is coming. You need to go with them. I will make sure Odell calls you in a couple days. Bye." I spat at her walking past security and sat down next to Odell's Dad. He smiled and nodded his head. I handled that well.
