The Babysitter

Chapter 6 {apology/mommy?}

Maleah

I was sitting on my bed thinking at 11 o'clock in the morning, I felt bad about yesterday , I know I'm the reason for Stephen not doing his best, I know that he thought I was flirting with his brother but it really wasn't like that

I sighed standing up , I made my way to Riley's room,she was sitting on her bed coloring in a princess and the frog coloring book "hey ri" I smiled walking in "hey" she said not looking up from coloring , I sat on her bed kissing her forehead "where's daddy" I asked picking up a green crayon and coloring the frog "he's outside practicing" she looked up at me ,I smiled "you color good" she said as she ran her fingers across the frog I was almost finished with it , I smiled "you color better" I pinched her cheeks making her blush "why thank you" Riley batted her eyelashes

I laughed as I stood up "how about after I go talk to daddy we go out to breakfast" her face lit up "and ice cream!!!" I chuckled "later" she nodded and went back to coloring

I made my way downstairs, I knew Stephen was outside shooting some hoops

He has this routine when he is practicing , his practice include making 100 3 pointers

I walked into the backyard, I seen Stephen jump up making a 3, he then ran next to the hoop grabbing the ball

I made my way towards him , He bounced the ball and I stole it from him before he could make the shot

"Maleah give me the damn ball back" I could hear the annoyance in his voice "not until you talk to me" I was looking at the floor bouncing the ball

Steph sighed heavily sitting on the outside basketball court floor, I smiled to myself sitting down Indian style "talk..." I sighed placing the basketball in my lap

"Steph look I'm sorry, I know that I shouldn't have did that yesterday especially during a finals game,I must admit I was mad,well more irritated that you got that girls number, and I'm pretty sure your question for me right now would be why so I'm just going to answer it before you ask... I don't know why but lately I've been feeling different towards you, when I'm around you my palms sweat, when I look into your eyes my heart skips a beat,When you hug me I feel safe, and the list goes on and on, to be honest with you I don't know why I have theses feelings and it's killing me that I look at my boss this way, theses feelings came out of no where ,I'm so confused Steph, yesterday at your game I wasn't flirting with your brother, and yes I kinda wanted it to seem like I was because I was feelings some type of way towards you but I don't have feelings for Seth" I sighed "Steph I'm sorry it's just my emotions are all over the place when it comes to you and I just don't know how to react to them sometimes" I finally looked up from staring at the ground ,Steph was already staring at me, dead in my eyes ,and there my feelings go again ,my heart was skipping

It felt like it was taking him forever to respond "maybe this was a bad idea for telling you how I felt" I was now upset "no" he finally said something but I don't know what he meant

"No,don't be mad at your feelings your having,we all catch feelings for a reason , whether for good or for bad but everyone catches feelings, don't beat yourself up over it, I'm sorry Maleah I was acting like a dick,do you forgive me?" I could tell in his eyes he meant it

He mad a puppy dog face causing me to smile "there's that smile" he smiled causing me to blush "Soo..." Stephen trailed "yes I forgive you,do you forgive me?" He put his forehead on mines "of course" I blushed as he kissed my forehead "well I told Riley that after I talked to you we would go out for breakfast so can you cut practice short and come with us" I stood up dusting my butt off "only if you shoot a three from the top of the key" he smirked
