What the hell was he doing out here at this time of morning??
Hadn't he tortured me enough the night before?
After Odell kissed me passionately, leaving me dizzy and confused, before passing out on my couch, I had another hot steamy sex dream about him. Ugh. Truthfully I hadn't been able to get him off of my mind.
I felt my face heat up as soon as I locked eyes with Odell, who was determinedly running down the street towards me with three enormous dogs.
At first, I thought he had managed to drive me to hallucinating him in the street. But then I realized Odell was real and I froze. Shit. I just rolled out of bed and I literally looked like shit. In a bagging old pair of sweats and my hair in a tangled matted mass on top of my head.
He couldn't see me like this. I pivoted three hundred and sixty degrees on my heel and ran back the other direction hoping he didn't actually see me see him. I couldn't deal with this right now. Not after just visualizing all of the things that he could do and had done to my naked body only a few hours before.
After calling a sleepy and very irritable Nylah to vent again around 4am, I couldn't get back to sleep. I literally tossed and turned for hours, my mind continuously wandering back to him and those deadly lips and hands each time I relaxed and closed my eyes. These dreams had me completely fucked up. It wasn't like our night in Italy hadn't been steamy... because it had been steamy. It had hands down been the best sex that I'd ever had in my life. But that was Italy. And far removed from New Jersey. Now Odell had managed to invade my personal space, my safe reality, and I felt myself losing even more control over my perfect life. This entire situation was far too messy. Odell was far too messy. My growing feelings for Odell were far too messy....
BAM!!!!!
I felt myself knocked forward by some unknown force. And for a moment I was flying backwards, free falling to some unknown destination. Then suddenly, I found myself caught by two strong muscular arms. And the very distinct smell of Odell's expensive cologne hit me. I'd recognize that smell anywhere. This was definitely not a hallucination.
After catching me, he set me back up on my feet. "Sorry. They get away from me sometimes."
"What are you doing!?!" I demanded, looking down at the three large dogs sitting obediently on their honches and staring up at me expectantly with their tongues lolling out of their mouths. My anger automatically melted at their comical faces.

Awwww! I loved dogs. My mom never let me have one, so I use to collect strays and hide them in my grandfather's garage until she found them and made me get rid of them. I tried to give Tyler a dog for Christmas one year. A beautiful little terrier that I got from a breeder. Tyler immediately fell in love with the little puppy and named him Blink. But after tearing me a new one, Leslie took the dog to the pound the next week while Tyler was at school and told him Blink ran away. I felt so terrible after that I never thought about another dog. But at the moment I remembered how dogs had a very special way of loving you wholeheartedly without any conditions or judgments. I had always wanted that type of love, and I just wanted to give a bit of it to my little brother.
