Gavin's Song (Road to Salvation A Last Rider's Trilogy 1) - Page 134

Ginny almost snorted at that. The only time Penni was scatterbrained was when she wanted to do something that someone else didn’t want her to do.

Once the waitress left, Ginny started listening to the music and watching the couples on the dance floor as the married women finally answered Zoey’s question about who was babysitting. Finding out that the husbands had been stuck with the kiddos for angering their wives was hilarious. What she thought was even funnier was that the life coach was responsible for the bickering between the husbands and wives.

Zoey found a dog that Ice had talked Grace into giving to another member of the Predators. The dog got lost and, boys being boys, Ice and Stump lied about it to Grace.

“I feel terrible that I caused this friction between you and your husbands,” Zoey was saying contritely.

Ginny only tuned into the last of the conversation when the music ended.

“Get over it.” Penni leaned back to allow the waitress to serve their drinks. “Order something stronger than cranberry juice; it’ll help.”

Grace helped herself to the nachos. “Look on the bright side. We’re having a girls’ night out and we’re all here. It’s been a long time since that’s happened.”

Zoey brightened. “That’s true. I haven’t been able to get better acquainted with Ginny since she moved to town and moved in with Gianna.”

Ginny smiled back at her. “I’m looking forward to it too. I’ve been on the road so much with the band that I’m still trying to get used to sleeping on a bed that doesn’t move. It’s going to be hard until I can find another job, but I can understand the band wanting to take a year break.”

“It was either take a break or the kids and I were going on the tour with Kaden.” Sawyer shook her head when Vida moved the nacho platter toward her.

“I could help. I could put it out to my followers that you’re looking for a job,” Zoey offered.

“That’s okay. I prefer to do it the old-fashioned way and search the job sites.”

“You could apply for Stump’s job at the furniture store. I hear his boss is hiring,” Penni suggested, motioning to the waitress for a refill.

“Not anymore. I talked to his boss. I stopped there before going back to the office this morning. He’s going to hire Stump back,” Zoey said happily.

“Do you ever not be nice?”

Ginny almost laughed at Grace’s dry comment.

“It’s good Karma.”

All the women at the table stared at her like she was an alien from outer space as the waitress brought each of the women a fresh drink.

“The karaoke is getting started. I get busy when it does, so I didn’t want to keep you waiting,” she explained.

Gianna gave the waitress an extra ten when she paid for the round of drinks. “I like a woman who is industrious.”

After the waitress left, Gianna brought her fresh drink closer. “I told you there is an opening at the bank. One of the perks of being the president is hiring.”

Here we go again, Ginny thought. Then she repeated the same thing that she always did, hoping this time it would stick. “I don’t have any banking experience. The only jobs I’ve ever had are cooking, waitressing, and cleaning. I’ll find something. Until then, I can use the vacation.”

“The bank would train you ….”

Her roommate couldn’t understand why she wasn’t jumping at the offer, and there was no way that Ginny was about to tell her that she didn’t want the bank running a background check on her. Hammer and Will both said that no one could connect her to her past life, but Ginny didn’t want to take the chance. She would reclaim her old life when she was ready, not before.

“I suck at numbers, and I really like cooking and cleaning.”

“I’m glad that Max didn’t meet you until after he married me,” Casey quipped with a roll of her eyes. She wasn’t the only one; Ginny rolled her eyes too. Max might be twice the size of Rider, but both men had a bottomless appetite. She wouldn’t have been able to afford feeding either one of them, even if she’d been attracted to one of them, which she wasn’t.

The aching loneliness she had felt when she confessed to Trudy that she thought her soul mate was dead was getting worse. The chat with Gianna and the number of rings count had only reaffirmed her beliefs, despite telling herself that she was being paranoid. She had even been forcing herself to look at men more closely in the hope that someone would grab her interest. So far, the only man whom she had given a second glance to was a shoe salesman, and that was because she had been trying to get his attention to get her a pair of shoes she wanted to try on.
