I call it freedom, but even I know that’s a lie. I simply traded one prison for another.

I’m supposed to be writing my own songs. I’m supposed to be filling my book with deep and thoughtful lyrics, in search of life’s purpose.

None of it is really going as planned.

My phone lights up from the cluttered shelf next to my uncomfortable foam bed. Turning over, I grab it and read a text from Geo.

Do you realize that you lost your bet and then won a date with Ronan Kade?

Who gets that lucky?

I roll my eyes at his message. With a chuckle, I reply.

There’s no date. I doubt he’ll ever talk to me again.

Besides, he’s way too old for me.

Age is just a number.

Yeah, and fifty-six is a big number.

I’m not sure my dad would be too fond of me bringing home a guy older than him!

LOL

I would love to see the look on his face.

Please invite me when you do.

It’s not happening. I’m not going on that date.

Sure.

You know you get a cut of that money, right?

I sit up so fast, I knock my head on the shelf over my bed.

“Ouch, fuck!” I squeal, holding my forehead as I read his text again.

What?! How much?

Twenty percent.

“Holy shit!”

Quick, what’s twenty percent of a hundred thousand?

“Ten percent is…ten thousand…oh my God. Twenty thousand dollars?”

You’re freaking out, aren’t you?

Are you saying I’m going to get twenty thousand dollars on my next check?

Yep.

OMG. Geo!

When is the next auction night?
