This Tested Love ; Odell Beckham Jr

T.T.L ➳ chap. nine

Odell POV

"I hate that we have to leave this place. It was really fun though." I said as we walked out of the hotel building and to our rental cars.

"Odell, we were only here like 2 days. You didn't even go anywhere except to the set and back to the hotel." Duke spoke.

"Would you shut the hell up and let me have my moment?" I chuckled. Our cars were parked right next to each other so we were all close by. I looked over at Liyah who was silent and staring into her phone. I took her bags from out of her hands and placed them in the back of the car.

"Liyah, what are you doing?" Taylor asked.

"Oh sorry, I'm texting T.J. He said everyone is in St. Louis for Mommy's birthday; they're planning a surprise party for her in a few days and I completely forgot it was her birthday." she said placing her palm on her forehead.

"Ooh! Why don't we all go there to St. Louis for her birthday and besides, this will give me a chance to meet your family officially." I said. I really was serious about going to St. Louis with Liyah to meet her family because I wanna get to know Liyah, and who she is, where she came from, ya know? I really love her though. I haven't told her yet... but I love her.

"Yeah! That's a good idea." Duke said.

"I haven't seen Aunty in a long time! Let's do it!" Tay spoke. I looked over at Liyah and she was smiling really hard.

"Alright, if y'all are up to it, let's do it." she smirked. We all cheered and got into the cars heading to the airport.

Once we got there, we turned in the cars back to the rental shop and headed to the plane. The same thing happened like on the last flight, the flight attendants came in, greeted, as did the pilot an we were on our way to St. Louis.

The flight was about an hour and fourty-five minutes but it went by pretty fast because we were all talking and watching TV or something like that. It was a pretty entertaining ride. Aaliyah and Taylor showed us their old cheerleading routines from when they were younger, and Duke and I watched in complete satisfaction.

We got off the plane, grabbed our bags and headed to the taxi area and caught a cab to Aaliyah's mom's house. As soon as we were all situated in the car Aaliyah's phone rang and she rambled through her big purse to find it.

Aaliyah POV

After finding my phone, I looked at the caller ID.

Incoming call from: mum👑💓

"Yo yo yo! Shh it's Mom." I said. I slid the 'slide to answer' button and put it on speaker phone so everyone could hear the conversation.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey baby love, whatcha doin?" she said in a sweet tone.

"I am sitting in the car with Taylor, Duke, and Odell. We actually just landed in... New York from Atlanta on--" I was cut off by her talking.

"I know, I saw you, babygirl. You and Odell looked so adorable together."

"Thank you!" Odell screamed.

"Aw, hi Odell!" Mom called out. Odell just sat there cheesing. It was silent for a minute because Mom was talking to some else. "Oh baby, lemme call you back, your father is getting ready to blow up the house, and him and Nina are arguing again."

"Okay, ma. I'll.... talk to you a little bit later."

"Ok, baby love. I miss you!"

"Miss you too! Love you!"
