All I Need •Stephen Curry•

11. Reassurance

Stephen POV

"C'mon you can't hide forever" Klay urged as he was waiting for me to step out of the door.

"I know I know" I grumbled as I stepped out into the warm air. I immediately backtracked though as the sunlight suddenly broke through the clouds which caused my head to pound even more.

"We couldn't have gone out in the evening?" I shook my head and immediately slipped my sunglasses on.

"Man you know damn well that if I would've waited any longer you wouldn't have came out of that room" Klay shook his head and laughed as he unlocked the doors to my Mercedes.

"Besides since your hungover I get to ride this baby" he grinned as he hopped in.

"Hey! Take it easy on Martha now" I warned.

"Martha really?" he raised his eyebrows as he pulled out of the driveway.

"Martha is a great name" I argued. "Anyways where are we going?"

"To eat! Especially since you since you ate all of my food at the crib then, had the nerve to go drinking, and throw it all back up the next day" he turned and gave me a look.

"I know, I know I owe you one" I sighed.

It all started that Friday night. I remember going straight to the beach to see if a walk would help clear my mind, but if anything it made it worse so I went to a bar.

I had way too much alcohol in my system to drive home so I had called an uber but when he arrived I did not know what destination to give him, as I did not want to go back home. So I gave him Klay's address.

I spent all day Friday there nursing a hangover but when Jade started calling it reminded me of what happened all over again, so I hit up another bar.

That was basically my weekend, and I could've handled the situation better, but I was so confused and stressed out that alcohol seemed like the best option at the time.

But now I had to face reality and go back to the real world. I had to man up and face my problems.

"We're here" Klay said as we pulled up to the restaurant.

I sighed and grabbed my hat and slipped it on and made sure my shades were hiding my eyes. My drinking escapade had done such a great job on my appearance and right now I looked a mess.

As we walked in and made our way to the booth, I scanned the restaurant just to make sure that there wasn't anyone that I knew.

Klay seemed to notice how uncomfortable I had gotten and decided to make fun of it.

"Man you look like your undercover or something" he smirked. "Your good, there's nobody in here".

I couldn't help but laugh as I probably was overreacting a bit. I had decided to relax a little bit and take off my shades.

"Okay" I chuckled. "But in all seriousness thanks you for taking care of me this weekend, I owe you one".

"Damn right you do! I had to cancel on Taylor! So an explanation would be nice".

"There's nothing to explain" I urged hoping that he'd drop the subject.
