the beginning

'I'm so into you, I can barely breathe'

----

"Move them feet, Beckham." Coach McAdoo shouted at the new rising star Odell Beckham Jr.

Odell had become the king of New York City. He was the most popular and most recognisable face in the NFL and only in his rookie year.

'The Catch' was a major factor in his quest to fame, but Odell was a person that worked hard and held pride in that.

He was determined to not be defined by one catch he made.

A loud whistle brought the entire New York Giants roster into a huddle in the centre of the field. "Good workout today boys. We gettin' there. We gettin' to the standard that is required of us. Keep workin' hard. Hard work beats talent when talent fail to work. Now on 3, team." Coach signalled for them to but their fist up.

"1, 2, 3, Team"

"Good workout man" Victor complimented as they were changing in the dressing room. "Thanks man, I'se you putting work out there on the field too man" Odell responded 'dabbing' the teammate. Odell grabbed his bag and walked out of the stadium to where his matte Bentley waited for him. Throwing the bag onto the passenger seat, Odell started his journey home. Drake and Future's song 'Jumpman' blared on the speakers to Beckham's enjoyment.

Beckham, halfway home, decided to stop at a local café with Odell being a coffee addict and all. He entered the café with the aroma of coffee beans filling his sense's already. He licked his lip as he looked at his surroundings. He had never been to this café before but judging with the amount of people in here, it seemed to be an attraction. Odell wore his Nike baseball cap low hoping that no one would identify him as the famous wide receiver that he had become.

Standing patiently in line to order his coffee, Odell couldn't help but notice a women cleaning one of the empty tables in the corner of the café. She was incredibly beautiful to Odell and was attracted to her immediately. She had tight curls that fell to the end of her shoulder blades, a tall frame and these beautiful eyes that caught his attention immediately. She seemed physically active as her body was slightly toned but held fat in all the perfect places. Even her simple black outfit she stood out like a bright star in a a dark night. Odell having a determined mindset, needed to find out this women's name.

The unknown women walked to the empty till. "Next" she called staring at Odell. Odell was lost in the sound of her voice to notice that she was calling for him until someone nudged him from behind. He muttered a "sorry" and walked to the beautiful women that stood behind the till.

"Hello sir, may I take your order?" She asked politely. "Uh yeah, can I just get a black coffee please." He said adding a kind smile. "Here or take-away sir?" She felt a light burn on her cheeks as she noticed how this man was intently gazing at her. "Take-away miss?" He responded hoping for a name. "Oh, Azalea" she smiled. She grabbed the black coffee and handed it to Odell. "It was lovely meeting you Azalea." He grinned as he took his coffee and handed her a twenty. "Keep the change beautiful" he chimed before strolling out of the busy café.

Odell couldn't stop thinking about Azalea the whole drive home. She just seemed different which may sound crazy as he only had a brief encounter with her. He just hoped that it could be the beginning of something new.

A new chapter in his life.
