Alexis Pov
A week after seeing that cute boy at the cafe everything has been pretty normal. I been going to the studio, working, and everything else. I haven't gone to the gym though maybe I should go now since I'm finished at the studio for today.

It won't that bad of a day everything went how it was suppose to and all the new photographers get along with the girls so far. I spent most of the time today on a couch laying on Aaleeyah while we were on the computer.

Ugh I have to go to the gym today I have been letting myself go lately. I went to my closet and put a sport bra on. I put on a neon yellow hoodie and some neon yellow shorts which only went mid thigh and I grabbed my neon foams. I put my hair in a ponytail and got my purse and got ready to go.

I saw my phone ring and saw it was one of my friends Brittany. I answered the phone as soon as I locked my apartment door.

"Hey Britt." I answer. "Hey Lex what you up to?" She asks me. "Gym." I say. "Oh I just left their like 20 minutes ago but anyways make sure you not busy Friday night." she says. "Uh why?" I ask. "Me and Leeyah taking your boring ass out." She says. "Uh alright I guess." I say. "Alright pretty mama Imma let you get back to your gym." She says. She hangs up. I walk to my car and get ready for my 3 minute drive to the gym.

I drove down to the gym and parked real quick. I checked my phone to find the text from my trainer telling me my workout for today. It was a lot because I missed a week.

I put my things in a locker and got my ear buds in and turned my music on. I started my work out first doing the hardest down to the easiest. My trainer knew what I needed so I didn't have to worry about it not being right for me.

After I spent almost 2 hours working out I decided to go and do an hour of cardio. I got on the treadmill and set my speed and put my time in and I started my hour run.

I hated this part of the workout but it's all worth it to keep me looking good. When I had about 20 minutes left of running some man comes and gets on the treadmill next to min even though there is like 20 open around the gym. I ignored him and finished my 20 minutes. I was hot and sweaty by then so I took off my hoodie.

I looked over and saw the man stop his treadmill. "Hey Alexis." I see Odell the guy from the coffee shop.

"Hey Odell what are you doing here?" I ask. This nigga must be following me or something I ain't never seen him here before. "To work out I gotta stay in shape especially when we out of season."

"Uh ain't that what them early morning work out shit you was talking bout was for?" I ask. "Well that's the goal but it ain't nearly enough for what we need." He says. "You mind joining me in the hot tub?" He asks me. Uh this man must be crazy.

"I don't mean it like that it's just a way for us to be able to talk some more." He says. "Uh alright I guess meet me out their in 5 minutes." I say. "Alright Alexis." He says.

I go and change into my black bikini and get my Jordan slides. I go out to the hot tub and see that Odell still ain't here. I wait for a few minutes and see him in some dark blue swim shorts and slides. I notice his tattoos on his chest and arms. I also sneak a few looks at his abs while he walks over to me.

"Hey how you get out here so fast?" He asks me. "I'm a model changing quick is part of the job." I say. "So let's get in?" He says motioning to the hot tub. I take of my slides and walk in and look back just to find him looking me up and down licking his lips.

"It's not nice to stare." I say. "Sorry it's just your so flawless." He says slowly as he walks into the hot tub. I smile a little then I lay back in the hot tub and feel the bubbles release tension in my body.

"So how long you been going to this gym?" He asks me. "Since forever." I reply. "How bout you?" I ask him. "Uh I started this week cause I bought a house around here." He says.

"Oh nice." I say. "So why you agree to come in here with me but can't give me your number?" He asks.

"Cause Odell your really sweet and you are one fine man but I'm to busy for guys right now I'm not really a relationship type of girl." I say.

"You not lesbian though?" He says jokingly. "Nope, nah I think I like guys." I reply. "Well I respect that but I'm going get your number." He says.

"Good luck honey." I say. "I don't need luck." He says. "But I'm the cocky one?" I ask. "Yes you are." He nods.

"Alright Odell but do me a favor shut up for a few minutes and feel this water it feels amazing." I say. He closes his eyes and leans back more into the water. I do the same probably the most relaxed I've been in so long.

I sit there for about 10 more minutes before I get to sore and pruney. I open my eyes and look over to find Odell fast asleep. He's pretty cute when he's asleep.

"Odell." I whisper. He jerks up splashing some water on me. "Oh sorry I fell asleep." He says. "Yeah I noticed it was really relaxing so I can't blame you." I say.

"Yeah but uhm you want to get a massage or something I'll pay for it." He asks nervously.

"Look Odell I don't need a massage if I did I'd pay for it myself." I say. "Here comes the attitude." He says. I playfully roll my eyes. "It's not a attitude it's just I make my own money I don't need a guy thinking that impresses me." I say.

"Alright I understand but the offer still up for whenever you need one." He says as he follows me out of the hot tub. He walks over to the towels and gets one of for and one for me.

"Thanks." I say. "Your welcome." He says. "Alright so you turned down the massage how bout just dinner not like a date or anything?" He asks.

"No thanks Odell." I say smiling. This boy is really something he's still trying. "Damn your mean ass." He says as he dries his hair off I have no idea how he got it wet but whatever. I wrap the towel around my breast so it covers me.

"Odell I already told you me and you won't work out." I say. He's really cute and sweet but come on I ain't ready for another boy after Christian. I tried to date other boys but I ain't ready for all that yet.

"Alright Alexis I respect your decision." He says. "Alright well bye." I say. "Bye Alexis." He says then we go our separate ways. I walk into the locker room and shower off then I go get my gym bag and change into some shorts and a grey crop top. I put on my slides and make sure I have everything.

I make my way to my car only to find Odell by his he sends me a wink. I roll my eyes and continue walking. I get in my car and drive home. I cannot wait to tell Aaleeyah about Odell.

as soon as I get in my apartment I call Aaleeyah. She answers on the second ring. "Lexis what's up?" She says sounding busy.

"You busy?" I ask. "No I was watching something but now I'm done go ahead." She says. "Okay so remember that cute boy I met at Mel's, well I saw him again today." I say.

"The football player?" She asks. "Yeah his name Odell." I say she does reply for a few seconds. "Oh my god this man is fine as hell." She says. "How you know?" I ask.

"Look him up his name Odell Beckham Jr." She says. I pull out my laptop and look him up. First thing I do is hit google images I see so many cute pictures of him.

"That's his right?" She asks. "Yeah that's him."

"So where did you see him?" She asks curiously. I scroll through news articles and pictures and things about him. "At the gym when I was on the treadmill he got on the one next to me then we got in the hot tub and talked for a few minutes." I say. "You get his number?" She asks me. "No I haven't given it to him yet." I say. "ALEXIS." she yells. "After Chris it's hard." I say.

"I know babygirl but come on I think that boy deserves a chance plus he muscular you know he probably packing down their." She says. I bust out laughing. "Lee! You right he probably do though." I yell.

"But lex I think you should give him a chance." She says. "Mhm I'll think about it." I say. "Promise?" She says playfully. "Whatever I'll talk to you later." I say and hang up.

I don't think dating a football player a good idea he going always be busy I'm going always be busy. Plus he going go around so much you never know what might happen.
