"Girl I felt like we had it all planned out, I guess I fucked up the vision
Learning the true consequences of my selfish decisions..."

Lying in bed, I stared up at the ceiling as Noriah was passed out calling the hogs. Mind you she was tipsy and got on some freak shit at the club. That's when I decided that it was time to dip because I thought I was about to come back to to the room and you know....
We got in the room and she wanted to bathe so I was like okay cool. She runs her bathwater, gets in, and I wait on the bed. Twenty minutes pass and she still hadn't come out yet. So, I go in the bathroom to see her asleep in the tub. The water was still crystal clear so I know she hadn't even lathered up to bathe. I bathed her the best I could and then got her out to dry off. She wouldn't let me put any clothes on her so she went back to sleep nude. I was a little upset because I was really looking forward to us taking that step again. But hey, maybe it just wasn't the right time.

Grabbing his business phone, a pillow, and cover, Odell went downstairs to lay on the couch.
Checking his emails, he sighed seeing he had multiple ones from his lawyer, Dan, about the baby stuff. He'd been avoiding it because it was affecting his mental which then affected his mood. And Noriah is a vibe reader—she picks up on that kind of stuff. Odell didn't want her asking questions because he didn't wanna lie any more than he had to.
Odell, please email Dan back as soon as possible. We don't want to get on Ms. Thompson's bad side. We need to do everything possible to prevent this from going public right now. If you play nice we may be able to convince her to sign a statement saying that she will refrain from putting you on child support in the future. I understand that this is a lot for you to take in but please weigh your options.
-My Sincerest Regards,
Patricia Stevens
Finishing the email from his publicist, Odell roughly rubbed his hand down his face.
Suddenly, he had a Raven Baxter moment and could see Noriah packing her belongings in a suitcase with tears streaming down her face as she prepared to walk out of his life permanently as he begged her to stay.
"Oh my God, baby! What's wrong?"
Thrown out of the imaginary theoretical scenario by the yelling, Odell finally snapped back into reality to see Noriah on her knees with a frantic look plastered on her face.
Confused, all that could escape from his lips was, "What?"
"You're cryin'. What's wrong? What happened? Is everything okay?"
Not believing her, Odell touched his face and looked at his hand. It was wet. Again, he was crying at the mere thought of losing the woman he loved.
"Baby, you scarin' me! Talk to me! What happened?" She placed her hand on his knees, shaking them.
"Um, nothin'." He cleared his throat. "I was just thinkin' about how happy and blessed I am." He rubbed her arm, his lips curved into a sad smile. "And how much I love you." He added, hoping that was a little more convincing.
Eyes shut, a great sigh of relief, escape her lungs.
She was extremely happy that they were tears of joy. And she didn't question it cause she too had those moments all the time. God was just that good.
"So your family's okay?" She asked for confirmation, still a little shaken up by the worst case scenarios that flashed before her eyes.
"Yeah, bebeh. They fine." Odell placed his hand on the nape of her neck, bringing her forehead to his lips. "I'm sorry. I ain't mean to scare ya."
"It's okay. I'm more glad everything's okay." She kissed his arm. "Can you come back to bed now?" She tugged at his arm.
"Um, can you gimme like five minutes. I need to handle some work stuff."
"Can't you do that upstairs in bed?" Noriah whined.
"Not this, bebeh. Sorry. I'a be up thea' as soon as I'm done. Ight?"
"Ight." She rolled her eyes.
"Gimme some suga." He patted her butt.
Bending down, Noriah pecked his lips before trotting back upstairs.
Odell reopened the draft he started from earlier and finished it.
Dan, I'm ready to move forward. I will provide a DNA sample for the paternity test.
-Odell Beckham Jr.
Hesitant, he finally clicked send. Now all he had to do was wait to hear back from Dan later in the morning.
