Page 6 of Scoring a Sweet Thing

CHAPTER THREE

Bailey: When you say you need protection from grandmas… What kind of protection are we talking about here? Because I dunno how comfortable I am fighting an old lady.

Remington: OMG NO! LOL!

Remington: No violence against the nanas is necessary.

Remington: More like a human shield kind of protection.

Bailey: Well, I’m relieved about that, but it means I’m more confused now.

Bailey: What is it you need protection for exactly?

Remington: So, I have this work thing on Friday, and I need someone to pretend to be my date so then I don’t have to take part in the bachelor auction.

Bailey: … is the bachelor auction at a retirement village?

Remington: LOL NO!

Remington: That could be funny though.

Remington: It’s at some fancy-ass hotel downtown. But the last few times I’ve had to do it, I always end up getting the rich grandmas bidding on me and they like to touch my butt, Bailey!

Bailey: Okay… I… don’t know what to say to that?

Bailey: That’s kinda a lot to unpack.

Bailey: Your work auctions you off?

Remington: Yeah, but it’s all, like, controlled. We all go to the same restaurant at the same time.

Bailey: And your employers encourage this?

Remington: Yeah. All the money goes to charity.

Remington: I try to think of it like I’m doing my part for the elderly, you know? I can’t imagine they get to feel many peachy butts once they hit 70, and having a squeeze of an old person saggy butt can’t be as fun.

Bailey:

Bailey: Why… How… Why?

Bailey: Nope. I’ve got nothing. I’m genuinely speechless.

Remington: You could say you’ll be my date?!

Remington: Save me from the grandmas, Bailey!

Bailey: I don’t even know what I’d need to do. This is completely new to me.

Bailey: I was under the impression this app was more for finding people, not so much getting involved in… sexual… stuff.

Bailey: Not that there’s anything wrong with that! There’s no judgment from me, I promise.

Remington: Wait, I’m confused?

Remington: I don’t have sex with the grandmas.

Remington: OMG LOL could you imagine!
