starting to fall

'And all I wanna do is to fall in deep
But close ain't close enough 'til we cross the line, baby
So name a game to play, and I'll role the dice,'

Azalea was on the wide receivers mind since he met her. Odell had come to the conclusion that he needed this women in his life. It was love at first sight.

"Yo Beckham" a familiar loud voice echoed throughout the twenty-three years old home. "Down in the mancave Vic" Odell shouted back. Victor Cruz was a close friend of Odell's every since Odell moved out to New York. Victor also played for the Giants. They became a dynamic duo as Victor became somewhat of a mentor to Beckham and someone whom Odell could trust.

Soon the man joined Odell down in his mancave. "How you doin' kid? You look off." Victor commented before plopping down onto the leather couch. "I'm doin' alright, you know Vic. Um- I have a question tho." Odell confessed looking down at his hands. "Shoot Beckham."

"Have you ever been down at the Café Noir on 6th Parallel?" Victor chuckled "Yeah, yeah I've been there. Why kid?" Odell contemplated if he should tell his friend about this girl he encountered at the café after all it is weird to have such feelings for a girl he barely met or even talked to. "Do you know a girl name Azalea that works there?" Vic shakes his head signalling to Odell that he didn't know the mystery girl and raised an eyebrow in confusion to why the young man asked about her. Odell just nodded ignoring his gesture and continued to watch the college basketball that was being shown on the television.

Odell on his way home from another hard day of practice decided to stop at 6th Parallel.  He peeked into the café to see Azalea cleaning and waitressing some tables, to his delight. The café was a quite place at eight o'clock in the night. Odell pushed the café door open causing a bell to ring which immediately grabbed Azalea's attention. He took a seat at the back of the café where Azalea was cleaning some tables. Once the young lady saw the man sit down she sent him a light smile. Taking her notepad and pen out of her apron as she walked towards the unknown man. "Hello sir, what can I get you?" Azalea angelic voice asked Odell. "Well I would like two hot chocolates please." She looked at him in confusion, wondering why the man wanted two hot chocolates when there was only one of him. She decided not to ask as it was none of her business. He sent her a soft smile before she walked away to go get his order. When she returned with the two mugs, the young man was on his phone. She placed the mugs on the table quietly not wanting to disturb the man but unintentionally grabbing his attention before she turned on her heels to finish cleaning up the café. "Azalea, where you going?" A smooth voice asked behind her. She turned around to face the unknown man. "You don't think I can sit here all by myself." He smirked. The young women looked at the ground before she looked around the café to see if there was any more customers, but there was no one there which left the man and herself all by themselves in the café.

The women sighed and sat across from the man. "I never got your name sir." The young man chuckled. "Well beautiful my name is Odell." He cheesed. The blood rose to her cheeks as she tried to hide a smile that was appearing on her face. She sipped the hot beverage he had giving her, as she sunk into the wooden chair. Odell could see that she were stressed and tired from the hours of work that she had done. He just smiled at the sight before him. Azalea looked up to make eye contact with the man. It was the first time she noticed how beautiful his eyes were. She could get lost in those dark orbs.

"How bout you tell me something bout yourself." He said as he leaned forward to rest his elbows on the table. Azalea chuckled. "Alright Mr. Odell. My name is Azalea and I'm eighteen years old." Odell eyes widened when she said she was eighteen. Luckily she did not notice. She was so young. "I'm starting college in New York University this September. I play basketball and I'm originally from Michigan." She smiled before making eye contact with the man once again. She raised an eyebrow signalling for him to answer the same question and tell her something about himself. He just licked his lips. "I'm Odell Beckham Jr and I play for the New York Giants." The man said proudly. She rolled her eyes and let out a slight chuckle. "But Michigan aye, do I got a bad girl on my hands." He said as he playfully rubbed his hands together. She just shook her head and laughed.

The whole time she was with Odell, her bright smile never left her face. Azalea looked at her watch and saw it was nine. "Cmon' I gotta lock up." She said as she rose from her chair and cleaned the mess that the two had made. Odell waited for her at the café door as she finished cleaning up. Once she joined the man he opened the door allowing her to exit the silent café and onto the busy street. She locked the door and started walking with the man to his car as he offered her a drive home earlier. Being the gentleman his mother raised him to be, he opened the passenger door to allow the women into his car. "Nice car" she said as her hand glazed over the walnut dashboard of his white Range Rover. The whole drive to her house the two were silent, but it was not an awkward silence but just a comfortable silence as the two listen to Drake and Future.

"Just there" were the first words that left her mouth the whole car trip. She pointed to an apartment block. From the outside it seemed quite modern. "Thank you" she smiled as he parked at the sidewalk. She placed her hand on the door handle "Wait Azalea, um- I was wondering if you could, possibly give me your number?" Odell spoke before she got out of the car. She smiled and reached for the wide receiver iPhone 6 plus. Azalea typed her number into the man's phone. "It was my pleasure Miss. Azalea. I will make sure to call you sometime beautiful" he smirked as Azalea opened the car door and hopped out. She gave him a small wave as she closed the door. Odell gave a seductive smirk back at Azalea and drove off into the moon lit night.

This girl was gonna drive him crazy and he already knew it.
