Unconditionally (Stephen Curry & Klay Thompson)

Chapter 24

*Seth*

I keep listening to the voicemail over and over again. “Seth I hope you understand how hard this is for me. I need time alone to think. I’m not running away from my problems, because I don’t have any. Only this big mess my broken heart left behind. I can’t tell you where I’m going, it’s easier that way. I’ll tell you when the time is right. Just please, understand me. I love you Seth. You don’t know how much you’ve helped me. I wish your brother saw what you see. I’ll call you as soon as I can.”  Ugh I why can’t Stephen get his shit together? We all know he loves her, and that he was wrong not to listen to her. What can I do to help them? For God’s sake there is a baby on the way! I need to do something. 

 

*Bri*

I decided to come to Portland with my sister. I really needed sometime away. I talked to Celi, who really understands. I told her I was pregnant, and well she screamed, really loud. She told Nicky, Tori, and Tayler. Which they we’re all really happy. My sister was glad to have me in Portland. I was glad to be back, her boyfriend, LaMarcus who made me feel like a hobbit, was cool with me staying. I haven’t really said anything about me expecting a baby.

“So since you’re now single, I want you to meet someone” my sister said with a smile from ear to ear. She’s been telling me how I should meet a friend of hers, who “is perfect for me” as she said, but the only one perfect for me is Stephen.

“He’s a cool guy, don’t worry he won’t hurt you”  LaMarcus said, they knew what happened between Steph and I, so they wanted the best for me. I just nod. I was sitting in the living room couch watching Hawaii Five-O reruns (It’s an amazing show okay? I’m in love with Steve!) I was really craving some red velvet cake with a vanilla bean Frappuccino. Do cravings start this early? Well I don’t know, but my baby wants Starbucks and cake.

“Hey sis, I’m going to head over to Starbucks, do you need anything?” I hit pause and grab my purse.

“You aren’t going anywhere.” She stops me before I could take another step. “I want you to meet someone” some guy walks through the door. “Bri I want you to meet Damian” she steps aside, revealing Damian Lillard, the point guard for the Portland Trail Blazers. He’s wearing a white fitting t-shirt with black jeans, and white adidas high tops. He smiles at me, daaaammmnn he’s hotter in person.

“You must be Briseida?” he extends his arm, and I gladly shake it.

“You can call me Bri for short, If you would like” I give him a slight smile. I was just being generous; I can’t see any other guy that isn’t Stephen, even if he moves on. Even though I said I would move on.

“Nah it’s okay, your name is gorgeous. I’m Damian Lillard” he smiles, oh god, his smile.

“Thank you, yeah I kinda knew that. My sister doesn’t ever stop talking about you guys.” She gives me a glare that damn if looks could kill.

“is that right?” both LaMarcus and him laugh, my sister turning  a light red color.

“Well anyways Bri, Damian is the one I was telling you about” whoa she wanted to hook me up with Damian? I need to tell her ASAP!!

“Wait, I know you’ve been trying to hook me up with him for the longest time… but I just can’t” I look at my sister, and at Damian, ugh he’s so cute but I can’t.

“Why? You’re single, he’s single…. What’s stopping you?” she asks

“Look Damian you’re a wonderful person from what my sister has told me about you, if we were under different circumstances I would’ve loved to get to know you…” I look at all 3 of them “I’m pregnant” I say, looking for a reaction. LaMarcus smiled, he’s a dad of 2, Jaylen Lea and JR, he knows what it’s like to expect a child. Damian just stood there, I mean who wants a pregnant women? Yocelyn was harder to read. She looked angry, upset, disappointed, and maybe a little happy. I just stood there. “I’m 2 ½ months pregnant.”
