*Carry On*

***Zacky's POV***

As we get off the plane in Los Vegas, I pull out my phone and try calling Haner again for the 100th time. Maybe he will be drunk enough to pick up this time. I can't believe we are chasing him all the way here when this whole situation could have been avoided. If I hadn't brought in Ms. Rizzo, Brian would still be in Huntington Beach with all his problems contained in his house. Though I'll admit, I do love Los Vegas.

"Haner's at the Bellagio and Kaylyn has an eye on him. He's fine," Jimmy says with his phone pressed to his ear. Well at least she has done one thing right.

Brian's phone rings six times before he finally picks up and answers me in a very curt tone. "Haner," he snaps.

"Thanks for finally answering the phone," I say in an irritated tone as we walk through the airport. "Are you finally sober enough to remember how it works?"

"What do you want, Baker? I've got the damn babysitter here....fuck..." Brian's voice trails off and I pinch the bridge of my nose. What kind of drug did he take now? Just what I need to hear is him in the middle of a trip.

"Haner! Earth to Haner!" I yell into the phone while Matt and Johnny look at me with a quizzical look. "I swear if you are high as I kite when I get there I will seriously kill you!"

"Calm down, Baker. I'm not high...someone...I mean something was just brought to my attention," he says, his voice suddenly sad and distant.

"And what's that?"

"I'm the worlds biggest asshole..." Brian mumbles, leaving me confused. He continues when I don't respond. "But I know you guys are all here. I'm at the Bellagio and I may have trashed my hotel room when I was high..." He says in a sheepish tone.

I sigh and run my hands over my face. "Are you fucking kidding me, Haner? You better go get Ms. Rizzo and find a way to clean up that mess. Put her PR skills to work and I don't mean in your bed this time. By the way, tell her that if she wants to stay on, she needs to sign the contract."

"There is no need for the no physical contact contract. We've already come to an agreement," Brian hisses and I instantly know he his trying to control his temper.

"Fine, but we still need the employment contract signed. Clean up your mess, get dressed, and we will go out for dinner and sign the business contract. We will be there soon," I say with a small sigh of relief. At least it seems that Brian is starting to come to his senses.

"Sure, see you soon," Brian says before the line disconnects.

I turn back to see Matt and Johnny talking and Jimmy with a huge shit eating grin on his face. "Ready to go pick up the pieces of Haner's mess?" I ask with a sigh.

"More than you will ever know," Jimmy says with a smile. "Let's go!"

***Brian's POV***

I put my phone in my pocket and quickly go back into my room. The only thing I can see is the image of Kaylyn's naked body in the hallway before she slams the door.

"Fuck..." I moan, knowing that I shouldn't care about her...but I do. I knew my words hurt her but I also knew it would prevent her from getting hurt. So why do I feel like the worlds biggest asshole? Oh right...because I am. Aubrey told me that multiple times...

I move around the room and start to return the furniture back to its rightful places. I did a number on this place and I'm not about to go ask Kaylyn to help me clean it up. I flips the chairs back over, put the bed back in its place, and pick up the shards of glass on the floor.

Maybe I should go apologize to her and take her up on her offer to help me...but would that lead to me developing feelings? I can't handle a relationship or commitment right now and I knew that's what Kaylyn deserves. Maybe I should just keep my distance...

After cleaning my room to the best of my ability, I head into the bathroom and jump into the shower. The warm water is a welcome relief though I know that I'll have to get out again soon. I enjoy the the warmth and the pressure of the water as it runs over my body though my mind won't move away from Kaylyn's body...

In that moment, I know that I need to make things right with Kaylyn. She can hate me all she wants just as long as she knows that I don't want to hurt her, and it's not because I don't like her or find her attractive.

I quickly put on some nice clothes, dark wash jeans, black button down shirt, and a fedora hat, before heading out the door. The guys will be here soon and they would expect Kaylyn to be ready too.

I sigh and hesitate to knock at her door. What if she refuses to work for us? What if she already left? Grow some balls and just knock, I think before rapping at the door.

"Go away, Gates!" Kaylyn calls and I feel my heart drop.

"Kaylyn please open up..." I sigh, looking down at my feet. "Zacky wants us all to go out for dinner to sign your employment contract."

I hear silence on the other side of the door and I let out a sigh. Fuck now I feel like an even bigger ass. "Listen Kaylyn...I've been thinking."

"Save it Mr. Hanrer," she snaps. Well I deserve that....

"Remember when you offered to help me? You said if I agreed to open up to you that you would open up to me....well," I sigh again. "I think I've come to my decision...."

Notes

What will Kaylyn say to this new proposition? It's not an apology...but it's something! ;)
