Odell

I woke up with sun in my eyes and an empty bed. "Janae!" I yelled. I knew she couldn't have been too far, but the bed was cold so she'd been up for a minute.


Deciding to get a head start of making her life miserable I walked into the bathroom and stared into the mirror. At that moment I realized I hated what I saw.


Splashing water in my face images of my father flashed is front of my face. It was inevitable for me to see them because when I looked at myself all I saw was him. I was his twin. My mother thought so as well.


"Odell, babe. You okay?" I heard Jays sweet voice behind me. I'm guessing she wasn't mad anymore.


"No babe, I'm still mad but you're crying." She motioned for me to step toward her after I was just freaked out she read mind.


She began to wipe the tears from my face and just held me. "Baby, what's wrong? Huh? You can tell me." I nodded my head towards her.


The thing was I couldn't tell her. I couldn't tell her anything. I know we vowed to always have no secrets but this one, this secret had to stay locked away. It would hurt her as much as it hurt me.


"I don't like you like this. It makes it hard for me to fake hate you." She turned her lips up into a smirk pulling me from the bathroom.


"Now ma isn't here so we're gonna go and make breakfast and then visit the Jordan household so I can get it over with." I watched her roll her eyes as we left the room.

After breakfast she took her sweet time finding what to wear. No matter how grown Jay was her parents were always on her about her clothes, job and choice of men. But i had a problem with the last one too. Nothing I could do though because she's grown.


"Dell!" She yelled. "How do I look?" She spoke softly as she stepped into the room. Her voice sounded like she was awaiting ridicule.


I wanted to tell her how she looked beautiful and whisk her away and there would be no more hurting for either of us, but that wasn't the truth.


I had more money than I could down in a lifetime and I knew that wasn't true.


"Odell...?" I shook my head out of my thoughts. "I'm sorry, you look great. You always do."


That came off more loving than I wanted but I said it. Just beautiful.


"Good cause I'm going to go out with Rob afterwards."


It was as if my stomach and heart dropped out of my ass. "Going out as in dinner, movies and no sex?" I watched as her eyes began to glow.
