Intimate || Imagines & Unfinished Stories

002 BabySitter | Stephen Curry

"Stephen this is a bit much right now. You've never expressed any of these feelings to me before or even flirted with me. I don't want to be the backup girl that has to fix a broken man. I'm sorry Steph."

I grabbed my purse and left the theater. I could hear the kids calling me but I had to go. I needed to be alone to think about today's events.

I had never planned to join an already made family. I planned to start one of my own, from scratch, after my career had taken off.

I did like Steph but I respected his relationship and did my job like it was supposed to be done.

It had been a few days since I'd seen Steph. I decided to take the rest of the week off so I could finish finals without so much on my mind.

Today I was returning back.
-
"Sasha!"
Riley and Ryan tackled my legs down as I walked through the door. I hadn't seen them in five days, I missed them too.

I fake fell to the floor and allowed them to climb all over me before I wrapped them in my arms and squeezed them.

"Sasha? Thank god your here. I need to rest."
Ayesha said as she rubbed her full belly

"Go head. I'll be here till later."

"Stephen is upstairs. He hasn't been feeling well. Do you think you could take care of that big baby too?"

"Not a problem Ms. Ayesha, I'll go check on him now. Come on girls."

We headed upstairs to his man cave. I shhhhd them playfully before opening the door. Steph was in his recliner watching his highlights from last season.

We sneaked up on him before yelling 'boo!'.
He jumped then smiled once seeing who we were.

"You guys scared me."

"That was the point daddy."
Riley was so feisty, I was hilarious

"Hey Steph. Finals are over so that means I'm back in action. No more mandatory late nights and no more cramming."

"Thank goodness, the girls wouldn't stop asking about you."

"I missed them too."

"Can we talk?"

I looked over his hopeful eyes before nodding. I wanted to talk to him too, just wasn't sure when I would have the opportunity.

"Yeah sure. I'll set the girls up."

I left the room and went to grab their favorite toys from the bedroom they shared. I then set them on the rug in Stephen's man cave and turned the tv to Disney Jr.

Steph and I occupied the couch on the other side of the room.

"I want to apologize for how things went at the movies. I meant what I said but I should have asked you how you felt before hand. I just thought you liked me but we're being professional for your jobs sake and out of respect for me, Ayesha, and yourself."

"You're right. I do like you and everything else you said was correct. I'm young and I never envisioned myself joining an already made family. I wanted to create my own family from scratch and be married before I decided to have a kid. Would that be possible with you?"

"Marriage? Of course."

"I don't plan to have a kid until years from now. Would you be okay with a new born in your late thirties?"

"I'll be okay with it. I'll be retired by then so I'll be here for the both of you. I could be a full time dad and husband."

"Being around you for this time has shown me that you are a great husband and father. This whole arrangement just makes me uneasy. Have you even told Ayesha that you're serious about this?"

"Yes. She hasn't been speaking to me."

"But when I walked in she said you weren't feeling well."

"Well yeah, I've been locked in this room for 4 days now. Only the kids come in."

I nodded before looking over the girls. I didn't envision this life for myself but god works in mysterious ways.

"I'm not giving you an answer for all of this right now. The relationship you are currently in needs to end first. Just out of respect for your relationship and myself."

"The divorce could take months."

"I know. But I think I'm well worth the wait."

"You are and I understand. Just please stick around the for the kids sake. We can keep this relationship professional until then. Deal?"

"Deal."
