Willow Flower.

Words

Willow's eyes slowly flickered open and when she tried to shift her body, the arms wrapped around her restricted the move. She looked up and came in contact with a sleepy Odell staring down at her.

"I see you're up," He implied. Willow softly nodded and relaxed back into his embrace.

"Thank you Odell. For everything." Odell closed his eyes and smiled. He began to tap his fingers against Willow's back.

"Anything for you Will," Willow blushed against his chest and stared back up at him.

"What time is it?" Odell looked over to where his phone was laying on the dresser beside him.

"9:32am," Willow immediately shot up out the bed panicking.

"Odell, you have a game today! I will not distract you from being focused for this game because you guys need to win." Odell shook his head and leaned up in the bed. Willow started grabbing her belongings and tried to find her phone when Odell's hands snatched her waist.

"Willow, the game doesn't start until 1:00 today. Baby, I got plenty of time to spend with you." Odell's arms were wrapped around Willow's abdomen while hers laid restless by her side. She really couldn't believe that Odell was in her presence, holding her close, and even calling her baby as if she was his own.

"Oh." Willow softly spoke. He smiled and that led to a chain reaction for her to smile also.

"So," Odell reached for her hands and held them in his. "What do you want to do today?" Willow put on her imaginary thinking cap, looking up to the ceiling.

"Um, I don't know. I've never been to New York before. I guess you'll just have to show me around?" She hid her face and slyly smiled. Odell chuckled at her quirkiness.

"I guess I'll have to show you around then." In a quick motion, Odell picked Willow up and held her over his shoulder. She squealed and hurriedly clung to his back.

"Odell, put me down!" Willow screamed and squirmed against his hold. Odell began to walk around his room with Willow clutching him like a monkey.

"Nah," Willow rolled her eyes and groaned. "What's the magical word?" He challenged.

"Please?" She begged. Odell stopped moving for a moment and sighed.

"Okay." Willow noticed his tone changed and almost felt bad. Until he body slammed her onto the bed. She yelped out from the pain coming from her back, but Odell was dying on the floor from laughter.

"Ow, Odell!" Willow pouted. "That really hurt." She fell face forwards into the pillows. Odell finally stopped laughing and got up to check on Willow.

"Aww, I'm sorry baby." He tried touching her, but she moved away from him.

"Well, that doesn't stop you from getting tickled!" Willow went to protest but it was too late. Odell caught hold of Willow and began to tickle her all over. Her giggles and laughter soon filled the room and Odell loved it.

"Ok, Odell!" Willow spoke in breaths. "I can't handle it no more!" Odell gave her the benefit of the doubt and stopped tickling her.

"You know they call me the tickle monster right?" Breathless, Willow blowed a curl from her face.

"Yeah. I understand it now." They turned their heads to look at each other, pretty much having a stare contest. After a few seconds, Willow and Odell bursted out laughing, both of them losing the contest.
