I was now sitting in the hot car on facetime with Odell to see how he was holding up.
Being he was just suspended from one game. All for fighting with josh Norman the whole game.
"How ya holding up bud ?" I asked while sitting in the car.
"I'm straight I guess." He said back sighing.
"So your not playing next week?"
"Nope" he said popping the 'p'.
"Oh cheer up its only one game." I said trying to lighten the mood.
"Yea but this one game can jeopardize my whole career." He said leaning back on his bed.
It was just brought to my attention that he was shirtless. And god forbid my dirty thoughts. His smooth skin and his tattoos.
"Well look at the bright side. At least you still have supporters. And you still get to live your dream." He just nodded. "And your not out for all the games."
"That's true but this still sucks. Every time I look at the TV, I'm what their talking about."
"Let em' talk. Because the more they talk shit, the more it should motivate you. So when you come back you go 10 times harder." I said slightly rolling my neck.
He started smiling, which made me smile. He was one hell of a something. Although he was with Rose, dreaming wouldn't cost me anything.
"You right. You right." He said smiling and nodding his head.
"I know I'm right. Now you moping around is not going to get you anywhere." He nodded his head and looked at me. Stopping at a red light I did the same.
"Thank you Clover for calling and checking on me."
"Oh its nothing. Everybody needs a friend don't they?"
"I guess your right. But I'll talk to you later."
"OK good luck and keep your head up." And with that I hung up.
Finally pulling up to the restaurant me and Lily agreed to meet at, I sat in the car for a minute.
Finally getting everything I needed, I got out the car and made my way to the entrance.

"Hey boo how are you?" Lily asked me.
"I'm good, just a little down since you moved out the house."
"Aww boo you can come over anytime when I'm done decorating."
Before I could even respond, my phone started to blow up. Lily looked over at me with raised eyebrows.
Looking down with a confused face I picked my phone up. Seeing that everything was coming from instagram.
Clicking on the app a picture popped up coming from ODell's page. It was a picture when we were on face time. It was captioned.
'Isn't she lovely. This woman right here gave me the most encouraging speech. Not even sugar coating nothing. So blunt and hostile it gave me chills. She said 'let em talk. That should motivate you and make you come back 10 times harder.' Ima live up to that. Thank you Mami for calling me and checking up on me. @4leafClover'
"Lily Flower read this." I passed my phone to her so she could read the caption.
Pausing for a minute or two, she looked up with a smirk on her face.
"Ooo he called you mami. I feel a connection." Rolling my eyes I chuckled.
"Why is it that every time I talk to him you say you feel a connection." I asked still chuckling.
"Because I do. Remember when I told Calla that her and Chris had a connection. Now look at em' married with not one but two kids." I laughed.
"That makes you sound lonely. Your 24 and she's 22. Been married since she was 19. While you on the other hand only had one boyfriend in your life time. But you always feel a connection. Where yo' connection at?"
"Oh don't go there. You act like you weren't lonely either."
"I wasn't I had a husband. Although I'm divorced now don't mean I'm lonely. I've only been divorced for two years. While you haven't even had a male close friend in 6 years. But ima sip my tea." I said doing the imaginary fake tea cup.
"Oh whatever."
"I still don't see why mama Lisa named y'all both Lily." I said laughing as Lily's face went stale.
"Her name is not Lily it's Calla." She said with much attitude rolling her eyes.
"It means Lily. Which are both flowers
"I know what it means. And your a flower too."
"No I'm not, Ima leaf."
"Flower."
"I'm am a four leaf clover."
"Well all of us our plants."
"... You right. You right."
