I Can't Even Concentrate

Demi's POV

After my appointment we headed out and Odell ended up following me back to my place. "How long are you here for?" I ask him once we both got out of our cars and walk towards the elevators.

"The weekend actually. I have a game here on Sunday and came a day early for the appointment." He answers as we get in the elevator and I hit the button for the floor I'm on.

"Really? That's nice. I feel like I've barely seen you anymore." I say quietly as I lean against the wall.

"Well cause you haven't." He replies and I nod. "When do you go to South America? Didn't you say you had some shows there?" He then asks me.

"I have my first one next week and then they're all over the course of two weeks and I'm done. I had to change my wardrobe last minute and you should have heard me try and explain that one." I answer with a small chuckle as the elevator dings and then the doors open so we walk out and go down the hall to my door.

"What'd you say?" He asks as I grab my keys to unlock the door.

"That I've gained a few pounds with the holidays nearing and I didn't feel comfortable in body suits." I reply shrugging as we walk inside where Batman immediately ran up to me to greet me. "Hi my baby boy." I squeal as I bend down to pick him up and fuss him.

"Pretty soon that's gonna be our son greeting you." Odell says and I smile big as I look up at him.

"For the next two days, don't say that. I don't want all this built up false hope. Okay?" I ask and he sighs, but agrees.

"So have you even heard from that other guy at all?" He asks later that day. We ate lunch and now we're just watching a movie in my living room right now.

"He texted once that he wanted to see me. I ignored him though because he just wanted a hook up." I mumble my response and he rolls his eyes.

"Good. I don't like the guy." He says and I furrow my brows.

"You don't even know who he is." I state and he looks over at me with a guilty expression.

"I have a mutual friend and he told me that y'all went out so I assumed it was him. You also mentioned his name once so it was pretty obvious then." He states and I sigh.

"Why don't you like him?" I then ask him.

"Cause he treats women like shit. It went around in a friend group that he beat on his ex once. I don't know if it's true, but every rumor has some truth to it. He's cheated on almost everyone he's been with also which is also a dick move." He answers and I was extremely shocked. I know I said he was an ass because he ignored me after we went out, but when we were out for dinner and when we were talking he seemed like a decent guy. This is a total surprise now. "Anyways, you busy on Sunday?" He then asks a few minutes later and I shake my head.

"No. Why?" I answer as Batman jumps up on my lap and I smile as he starts licking my hands.

"Cause I got you tickets to my game. Enough for some friends also if you're down. They're in the skybox so people probably won't see you." He says and I look over at him and smile.

"You want me to go to your game?" I ask and he chuckles and nods as he scratches the back of his neck.

"Yeah. If you want." He answers and I smile bigger.

"I'll be there then. I don't know anything about football though so don't be surprised if I cheer for the wrong team." I say and he laughs out loud while shaking his head.

"Then let me teach you." He says and I raise my brows as he stands up and walks over to my tv where the remote was also sitting. He turned the tv on before sitting back down next to me and I internally groaned when I watched him put a football game on.
