I’m crying. Sniffling. Trembling. “Yes, it is. It’sallmy fault. I’ve ruined your life.”
Auggie takes my hands. “I wouldn’t change a fucking thing, Charlotte. I mean, yes, I wish I had the twenty grand. But I’ve had the time of my life with you. If the price of that is taking a year off from school and figuring out some student loans, then so be it. The most important thing is you’re safe and sound. That’s literally all I care about.” He chuckles. “Damn. It’s a good thing I didn’t pay the invoice early, huh? I almost did, but then I thought we might do some more shows today before picking up Tessa and her family at the airport, so I figured I should hold off until—"
I gasp. “That’s what we’ll do now! We’ll do as many shows as we can before 11:59 tonight and get you the rest of the money you need!”
Auggie sighs. “You’re sweet to want to help, but—"
“Nobutsallowed. We can do this, Auggie. You have five grand, so all we need is fifteen grand more in, what, . . . eight hours? We can do that if we put our minds to it and tell our fans we’re in a pinch and need their generous helptoday. We’ll tell Tessa, sorry, you need to take an Uber home, and then we’ll go back to your place and get to work.”
“What about the dogs?”
“Shit. Okay, we’ll go back to Tessa’s and feed them now and leave them there. I’ll text Tessa and let her know we were thererecently but we need them to watch both dogs for us tonight and all next week. She won’t mind.” My adrenaline is pumping now. “We’ll make it like a telethon for our audience—with a countdown clock and a graphic showing us getting closer and closer to our goal. We’ll say we need to make twenty grand by midnight tonight, or—”
“Fifteen. I’ve got five.”
“No, we’ll say twenty, and hope we get fifteen. If we get twenty, even better. Then you’ll have some money for expenses, while you try to figure out the rest.” I grab his hand. “This is going to work, Auggie. Our fans will come through for us.”
“Your optimism is infectious, I admit; but the fact remains we’ve never made that much in a single day, let alone eight hours.”
“No negativity allowed!” I shriek. “Yes, it’ll be a steep climb. But I think our fans will come through for us. They’ll pay to watch us doing all sorts of zany things, one after another, to help us reach a specific goal.We can ask for pledges for this and that thing, and once each thing reaches a grand in pledges, we’ll do it!”
“Love it.”
“We’ll ask our superfans to lead the charge on pledges—you know, Lucille1990, Catfish2000, and all the other high rollers in the VIP club. God as my witness, Auggie Vaughn, we’ll get the money you need in time.”
Auggie’s face is lit up. “Well, first off, I truly hope God isn’t witnessing any of this. And second off, fuck yeah, baby, count me in.”
“Woohoo!” I grab Auggie’s face and kiss him fervently, and then release him with equal enthusiasm and pull out my phone. I log into our account and start scrolling through past videos and comments to see what we might have missed. “Aha! Here’s something to get us started! Four days ago, Lucille1990said she’d payfive hundred bucksto watch you get your dick pierced!”
Auggie’s jaw drops. “I’m not going get my dick pierced! Fuck no.Especially not for five hundred measly bucks.”
“Would you do it for athousandbucks . . .per piercing?”
“What?” Auggie shouts, looking distressed.
I chuckle. “I’m sure people will add to Lucille’s initial five hundred bucks to get us to a thousand a pop. We’ll message her to see if she’ll pay five hundred bucksperpiercing and help us get our telethon rocking and rolling.”
“Back up, Charlotte.Per piercing? How many piercings are you expecting me to get in my dick?”
I laugh. “You wouldn’t getallof them yourself, silly. I’d get some, too. Why not? We wouldn’t have to keep them in, if we don’t like them. We’d make it clear they’re paying to watch us getpierced, repeatedly, not to ensure we stay that way forever.”
Auggie looks incredulous.
“It’s really not as big a deal as you’re thinking.” I smirk. “This is confidential, but Ryan’s got a dick piercing, and he seems perfectly fine and functional.”
“Ryan’sdick is pierced?”
“Both nipples, too.” I giggle at Auggie’s flabbergasted reaction. “TessalovesRyan’s piercings, especially on his dick. She told me its sole purpose is to get her off, and she said it’sextremelyeffective. It gives her orgasms during intercourse, repeatedly, like clockwork.
“What. The. Fuck?” Auggie looks shell-shocked. “Are you bullshitting me? You’re telling me this stuff to convince me to—"
“No, it’s the God’s truth. I swear it on Lucky. On Zach and Claire, too.”
He winces. “It feels very wrong to bring the kids into this, babe.”
“Whoops. You’re right. Scratch that. The point is I’ll swear on whatever or whomever you want, because it’s all the truth. I think you must be imagining something way scarier than what I’m talking about. It’s not Ryan’stipthat’s pierced. There’s no little scaffolding that goes up his shaft. He’s got a piercing at thebaseof his dick. Like, you know, where his dick meets his torso?”
“You’ve seen Ryan’s piercing?”
