Free Freeing Tuesday by Katheryn Kiden

you that no matter how hard you push him away, he isn’t letting go and nobody is getting near his woman.”
    “I’m not...” I begin, but he cuts me off by pressing his fingers against my lips.
    “Yes, you are, even if you don’t see it. Sooner or later he’ll wear down that sexy ass.”
    With that I watch him walk off holding his hand against his stomach before I can even think a single thought. He disappears through the heavy door that leads to the studio.
    Jameson passes baby Sophia off to me when I walk by and I head toward Daisy and their new manager Cam who are playing with Izzy. Instead of spending my day at the office like I thought I would be, I’m spending it watching the girls and figuring out how to keep these guys in line.
    By the end of the day I have six messages from Evan, all begging me to call him but I can’t yet. I can’t because I am terrified of what Hunter said to me, but I know I probably won’t make it through tonight without getting back to him. As much as I want to stay mad at him I know it won’t last long, it never has. He’s relentless and just like Hunter said; sooner or later he’ll wear me down.

    “Tuesday…” My shoulder shakes as Jameson whispers my name. I hear Izzy groan against my chest where she is sleeping. My eyes snap open when I realize I had fallen asleep after she begged me to lay down with her.
    “Yeah?” I rub my eyes with my free hand and whisper so I don’t wake her up.
    “You left your phone on the coffee table when you came up. It keeps beeping.”
    I grab the phone out of his hand and squint at the bright screen as I flip through
    Evan’s numerous text messages. “Damn it, Evan,” I groan and motion for Jameson to lift Izzy off my chest so I can slide out from under her.
    “What has he done now?” he chuckles and follows me down the hall.
    Sighing, I roll my eyes, “No clue. He’s a whore so…” I say it out loud mainly to remind myself of the fact. Evan isn’t into long term. No matter what it looks like or what Hunter said earlier, that’s not Evan.
    “Yeah, I don’t need to know. I can’t believe you’re going to help him after last night.” He stops me by grabbing the back of my shirt and I take a deep breath so I don’t freak out. I hate being handled and he should know this by now. “You know you don’t have to save him every time, right?”
    Nodding, I head towards the door again, knowing that when Evan says jump, I will. I can’t help myself. “I know, I know. He’s my friend though, angry or not, he needs me. Plus, sooner or later, I’ll probably need his help with something.”

    I have been at the bar for a little over an hour trying to get the thought of Tuesday still being mad at me out of my head. Just thinking about the look on her face after she saw what I did to Hunter last night kills me. I know she talked to him this morning and that's probably why she won’t answer my messages. Even worse than that though, is the fact that she doesn’t want the same thing with me that I want with her.
    So, I found a pretty little blonde named Liz that I plan on burying myself in until I forget for the night. That was until my ex, Hailey, showed up and fucked all my plans straight to hell. She just waltzed over and pushed her way between Liz and I, planting her lips on mine before I even knew what was happening.
    I pushed her away, but since then she has been talking nonstop about how she misses me and wants to get back together.
    I think she has to be straight up stalker crazy. We didn’t date for more than three weeks before I booted her ass to the curb. That was back before Jameson got married, so yeah, it’s been over a year, almost two and she’s still hung up on me. I know I’m good, but you would think my dick was a fucking magic wand or some shit.
    I thought about leaving more than once since she pushed her way in but I know that if I do
