"Watchin' me bleed
You cut me down on my knees
No matter what you believe
I think we both can agree
That you can't blame it on me, yeah" 🍃💔

Chapter 26: Blame it on me

━━━━━━━━━━━━

|Odell|🧸

I fucked up this time... i really did...

FUCKKKKK

why did i do that...

I wasn't suppose to kiss shawty... i was hella drunk..

Ari doesn't even know what happened and i would like to keep it that..

And she is only coming back tonight...

honestly... i hope that girl doesn't even tell Ari or even Dm her about what happened...

I was cut off from my thoughts when i saw my mom come through the door

"Hey Odell... you looked stressed out what's wrong?" She said

"I am" i said with my face in my hands, "i did something bad"

She sat next to me...

"What did u do?"

I sighed and took a deep breath...

"I kissed Some broad at the club" i said.. "it was just a kiss"

My mom just looked at me...

"Odell!!!" She exclaimed, "how could you do that"

I just looked down and played with my fingers

I just realized i picked up some hobbies that Ari does when she's nervous..

"Ma, i know" i said, "please don't tell her"

"I won't tell her but you will because she deserves to know what my son did" she exclaimed

If there's one thing my mom knows.. is that she'll tell me what i must do

"Because if you don't tell her that girl will.. and you wouldn't like that" she said to me..

I just looked down

I don't want me and ari to be in a bad place...

I gave her a promise ring and a promise that i will never ever hurt her

And now i broke my promise to her...

I hate myself for that...

"I'm gon leave you to think to your thoughts" she said standing up, "you better tell her"

"Will do Ma" i said..

My mom left the house and i was left with my thoughts again

Honestly thinking and looking back at Saturday night..

I shouldn't have gone out to be honest...

*FLASHBACK*

Odell and his friends were at the club in their section ...

Some of his single friends came over to the section

"Odell" one of his friends exclaimed, "you in a relationship"

Odell nodded...

"What's it like.. i mean you don't miss being single" his friend said, "dude you just jumped from one relationship to another".

Odell, immediately shook his head in response to miss being single

I mean... he loves his relationship with Ariana and wouldn't trade it for world...

And he put that on his life...

Which he doesn't do often...

"aight man but you missing out on being single" his friend said..

As Odell and his other football player friends continued drinking...

Some girls came into the section...

"Hey Boys" one of the girl said

The guys greeted the girls

"Hey Odell" one girl said

Odell heard the girl greeted his friends and immediately knew who it was

Mulan...

"Sup Mulan" odell said

"You missed me?" Mulan said sitting next to the footballer

"I've got a girl" Odell quickly responded, "what do you want?"

"I just wanted to come and see you" Mulan said, "your girl ain't with you"

"She's at atlanta with Tae" odell said, "you should mind your business about where my girl"

Mulan put her hand on Odell's thigh...

"Awww... she all the way in Atlanta, so you must be all alone huh? I can change that" mulan said, "we just chilling papi"

Odell took her hand off....

"Yeah you can chill without touching me shawty" Odell said, "don't you have a nigga"

"No... do you want to change that tho" Mulan said...

"No" Odell said, "listen i gotta go to the bar"

Odell stood up from the coach and went out of his section to the bar...

seeing mulan brought back a lot of memories...

Which weren't good

After the break up with Lola... Mulan slid into his dms...

Asking if she could see him or whatever

And he said yeah sure

And you know the sex between them was

In his own words

Okay...

"Ayo Odell... what you doing here at the bar can i get a shot" Odell asked the bartender..

"Okay" the bartender said

"Also can you get me a shot" Mulan said wrapping her arms around Odell...

"Anything for you my lady" the bartender said

Odell took Mulan's arm off his waist...

"What do you want?" Odell asked...

Mulan pulled him in... for a kiss

Odell surprisingly kissed her back...

She came back for a breather...

"You" she whispered...

Odell pushed her back...

"You must have enjoyed the kiss huh?" She said smirking...

Odell walked past her to go to the section to get his stuff

"Ayo odell, what'a going on" druski asked

"I gotta go" he whispered...

"Come on The party just began" druski said

"I SAID I GOTTA GO DRU" Odell Exclaimed...

Everyone in the section looked at him...

"Yo.. you okay doug?" druski asked

He ignored him and left the section...

Odell knew this night was fucked up...

And he fucked up...

I was cut off from thoughts when i heard the bedroom door open

And it was Ari...

"HEY BABY I'M BACK" She said with a smile, "did u miss me?"

"Yeah i did" i said

I walked up to her and was hugging her tight...

"I love you baby" i said...

"Boy its like you haven't seen me in a long time" Ari said with a chuckle, "i did say i was coming back"

"I LOVE YOU" i said again

Ari pulled back from the hug...

"You okay?" she asked me with a smirk, "you've been all lovey dovey since i came back... i mean you're always lovey dovey... but today seems different"

If only she knew...

"Yeah i'm okay just wanted to tell you that that's all... i just needed you to hear that" i said that...

"Okay... i love you too... let me just put down my bags and i'll make you food okay" she said...

"Ari, we gotta talk but later on alright" i said

"Okay... we can talk after i make you food okay baby" she said coming out of the closet...

She kissed my cheek and went downstairs...

Oh boy...

━━━━━━━━━━━━

Me and Ari were eating pasta and she was telling me about What tae's doing for his birthday...

"Its gonna be like a playboy party" she said with a smile, "oh and Vicky said you should bring your friends over"

I couldn't stop thinking about what i was going to say...

"Hey baby what's wrong... you seem a bit quiet right now" she said, "everything alright?"

"Ari, i gotta tell you something" i said still looking down

I don't want to look at her reaction...

"What is it baby" she said...

"Don't be angry with me okay" i said

"Why would i be angry, just tell me what's wrong" she said...

Okay here goes nothing

"I kissed mulan" i said...
