Free His Distraction (Assured Distraction Book 2) by Thia Finn Page A

case you don’t remember, before you got wasted and forgot how to make your tongue work, you told us she said she was done with your sorry ass.”
    “Man, you shoot for the juggler, don’t you?” Hayden stared at Gunner. “He not even awake yet.”
    “It’s all the truth, though. Why dance around it? Better to just get it out.” Gunner shrugged his shoulders.
    “I need to talk to her.”
    “Oh, no asshat. You do not need to do that. Leave her the fuck alone. You have things to do today before we fly out of here.”
    “Yeah, I have to agree with Gunner,” Hayden nodded. “From what you told us last night, she pretty much laid it out pretty plain for you.”
    “But I got her evicted. She has nowhere to move and only has a week. I even told her she could move in my spare bedroom.”
    “Apparently, you only remember some of what she said. She started talking shit and told you to fuck off.”
    Gunner couldn’t believe he had been so generous to her when she had rained hatred all over his head with the verbiage about the band and Ryan’s dreams.
    “Yeah, I don’t think that’s a great plan. I don’t want to have to deal with her every day.” Hayden was now praying she forgot about Ryan’s offer and was on the hunt for another place. “I already have to see her at the studio.”
    “I’ll just let it ride while I’m gone. I’m sure she’ll miss me, and we’ll get things worked out when she’s had time to calm down.”
    The guys did not bring the problem up again. Everyone needed to take their things to the office for loading on the truck and delivering to the airport. Ryan decided to go back to bed for a while, so Gunner left to do his own thing. Hayden was glad they were finally leaving since he would have the day to himself. He wanted nothing more than to lay back, and play some video games or guitar, and work on some new songs. That was relaxing to him.
    Ryan watched his equipment and suitcase loaded that afternoon and turned around to find the rest of the band greeting him. They all knew from looking at him he wasn’t feeling the same enthusiasm as the rest of them, so they made small talk about the trip and their music hoping to keep his mind off of the source of his problems.
    “Look guys, I appreciate you trying to cheer me up or whatever, but I’m fine.” Ryan decided to get it out in the open before they climbed on the plane. “We will get this worked out when I get home. She’ll come around.”
    “Is that what you fucking want after the way she bitched you out like that?” Carter couldn’t believe he would even consider it.
    “Well, you know, Ryan, she disrespected the band pretty badly last night during her little tirade. I don’t know that I’ll ever look at her the same way.” KeeMac added to the conversation. “If I didn’t know better, I would swear she’s been spending time with Janae and the two of them have been plotting against you and the band while we were gone. With the way Janae fucked Jacoby over, she’s probably been coaching Krissy on exactly what buttons to push to bring you around.”
    From the other side of his truck, Gunner joined in. “Yeah. That shit really pissed me off when she started in about our ‘boy band status.’ Our music sure as hell is not boy band music. If we were, neither Frission nor Steel would want us. Those two little bitches don’t know what they are talking about. We’ve been working on this dream for a long time and for the two of them to burn us with their fucked up ideas pisses me off.”
    “I know what she was saying was wrong, but she was mad at me, not y’all. I made a mess of things when I should have put her first. I caused this. All I want now is for her to love me like she did before. That’s it, and it’ll happen.” He turned and climbed in his truck to move it so Hayden could take it home. He didn’t want to talk anymore. He did what they asked and needed to end this conversation. What he wanted to do was talk to
