Just one to blow this whole fucking case wide open.
Finishing my beer, I use it to flag the bartender’s attention. Kate pops the bottle cap off, eyes the photos before me questioningly, and sets the bottle down on the counter. Having watched me work many cases from the end of the bar, she doesn’t say anything. She simply collects my empty and leaves me to my business.
Swipe.
Swipe.
Swipe.
Holy fucking shit.
I nearly swipe past the brunette without giving her a second glance, stilling my thumb seconds before she disappears with all the other women I’ve discarded in the past few days.
Lifting the photo from the bar, I hold one of the blondes next to my phone to compare the two. Taking my time and looking through the multiple photos she has on her profile, I compare them to the printed photo in my hand.
This has to be her.

Clicking the button to match with her, I’m hoping the photographs I picked and my profile are good enough. I’m going on the logic that these women know about the wealth of Adelaide Cove, and my profile feels equally as douchey as those that I browsed for samples.
Guzzling a few gulps of my beer, I’m surprised – and excited – when my phone buzzes on the bar and displays a notification from the app. Swiping it open, I’m met with a photo of the blonde and a private message.

Hey baby
You’re a rich tool that gets whatever you want, respond accordingly.
Pretty sure you’re supposed to be the baby, beautiful
LOL
What do you want me to call you
Hopefully Daddy by the time you’re screaming my name
For now, call me James
You think you could make me scream?
I’m fucking sure of it
I like a man with confidence in his abilities
Based on what I saw the other night, I’m sure she’d like just about anything if the right dollar amount was attached.
What is it that you’re looking for James?
Someone to enjoy my weekends with, who won’t be nagging me about the lack of time I have for them during the week.
What are you looking for, beautiful?
I feel like I’m soliciting a fucking prostitute on the street corner.
College is expensive, and rent is expensive in a college town. I can’t always afford to spoil myself with shopping and vacations like I feel I deserve.
