Sometimes silence is as loud as your words

Its been a full week without any communication to or from Odell. I miss him like crazy and i've made my schedule busy just to keep my mind off of him. I even did over time at work , but that still didn't keep my mind off of him. I stared at my phone, contemplating about whether I should call him or not. we ended off on the wrong foot, and Aaliyah has been asking about him , referring to him as her " new friend". I wouldn't have allowed them to get close if I knew it wasn't going to last between us.

" So what's up with you and Mr. Man " Shackeria asked as we walked into Victoria's secret.

" Who ? " I played dumb as I eyed a cute panties and bra set " this Is cute " I thought out loud, trying to change the subject.

" the wide receiver " She said in a "duh" tone while smirking and nudging me with her shoulder.

" nothing, we just friends. nothing serious. " I said in a nonchalant tone, not currently knowing what me and Odell's relationship was at this point

" yall looked more than just friends in those picture of yall together " she said while picking up a lingerie set

" who you getting that for shackeria " I chuckled , referring to the lingerie she picked up " you got a mans that you ain't tell me about?"

" shit, im finna get me one soon. bout to get me a fine white man " she said in seriousness

" I don't know how you do it, I gotta have me some caramel or some chocolate. " I said, referring to men.

we exited the store after she purchased her lingerie set, that shes never gonna use, and headed into target.

" these onsies are so cute, I gotta get one for Aaliyah " I exclaimed as i held the onsie up and showed shackeria. she glanced at the onsie but shifted her eyes instantly the other way. " bitch look " i said , while putting the onsie in front of her face

" Bitch , there go your mans! " she said in a loud whisper as her eyes widened and she chuckled " he's even sexier in person "

" fuck" I said in irritation while walking the other direction

" go say hi to him whore " she ordered as she walked behind me and grabbed my arm to pull me back in Odell's direction.

" hell no, me and him aren't speaking right now. " I said , hoping that she would let go of her grip, but she continued to pull me. she stopped in her foot steps and instantly let go of my arm

" who is that bitch he hugged up with " she said in a gasp. when I turned my attention in his direction, I seen  with his arm around this girl as they stood in the checkout line. " hurry up, grab the onsie "she semi whispered. I surprisingly listen to her and grabbed the onsie before we walked to the check out line that they were standing in. " dang RENAE, it sure is hot in here " she said awkwardly, putting extra emphasis in her voice when she said my name, trying to get Odell's attention.

instantly, Odell turned around and made eye contact with me. he dropped his arm from the girl's waist once he seen the blank look that I was giving him.

" aren't you Odell beckham ? " shackeria asked, being petty. " wait.. renae, isn't this the dude that was in the picture with you on instagram?" she said with a raised eyebrow and looked at me and Odell. The girl that he was with turned around and gave shackeria a dirty look.
