decisions

Tom thought about having Val invite some of her hotter friends over, but he worried he would have to compete with them as Val would believe anything they said. "Let's see," he said aloud. "If I tell Val she needs to 69 Rachel, what would happen if Rachel told Val that was a disgusting idea." He tapped a pencil on his chin. He wondered if there was a way he could tell Val something and have her not believe what other people said. He decided on a test.

He went and found that Val had finished her bath and was in her room. She was wrapped in a towel and was brushing her damp hair.

"Val, you know if you don't let your body air dry, your skin will break out in hives."

"Of fuck!" said Val. She stood up and dropped the towel.

"It's so nice that you are so mature you don't mind me seeing you in the nude," said Tom. "Hey listen, after you brush your hair, you need to put on three layers of make-up today. Just gob it on. You'll look totally hot. Don't let me or anyone else talk you out of it or make you believe you don't look hot. When you're done. Come to my room. It's time for you to give me a massage so you can get in your practice as you want to be a masseuse one day."

"Oh, OK," said Val. She sat back down at her vanity and went back to brushing her hair.

Tom went to his room and set his laptop up so the camera was facing his bed. He stripped to his boxers and lay on his bed, waiting for Val.

Val came in several minutes later. She had gobbed on a hideous amount of make-up. Tom decided for a test to see if he could convince Val she did not look hot. "Oh my god, you look like a disgusting truck stop whore!"
