Prom Date Confirmed

"Okay dad...." John nervously said. "I don't know what to do at a dance though. What do I wear?" Thomas came over and put his arm around John's shoulder. "Son, your a Higgins. You wear and do what you want. This shirt and jeans are fine. What's important is the experience you have."

Thomas again sits John down, this time on the couch. "John, do you find Cindy attractive?" John, thinking it was a trick question, answers that he doesn't. Thomas knows he's lying. "John, it's okay to admit that you think someone like her is attractive. Even the poor can look beautiful." John stutters then changes his answer. He now says that Cindy is attractive. "Well John, tonight she is going to have sex with you. That is, if you ask her. John, you're better than her, you know that. That gives you the right to ask her to do whatever you want."

John again stuttered. "So....dad.....I should tell her that I, like......want to have sex?" Thomas laughs, "yes my boy! This is your night. You ask Cindy to do whatever you want. I just want you to come back here having had sex. It's high time you become a man."

"But Dad, won't it be gross to have sex with a poor person?" John asks. "Son, if you love her, if you have feelings for her, then that's disgusting. Your emotions should only be spent on those as great as you are. To use her though, to find pleasure in her or to have her serve you, then that's just fine. Hell son, everyone who works for me is poor. I don't know them, I don't like them, I don't care about them. Since they're just doing what I ask then it's okay. The day I start caring about their problems or trying to help them is a day that I'm in trouble."

Thomas' explanation made sense to John. "Alright son, my chauffeur Diane will take us to Cindy's house. Let's go to the prom!"

John and his dad got into a large stretch limo. It was always on the property though John hadn't even seen it in use. It had a large backseat area with a TV, a fridge, and a sunroof.

Soon they were at the front door of Cindy's house. John was disgusted by what he saw. It was only two stories, had no fountain up front, and could only fit two cars in their garage. John couldn't fathom how these people could live.

John was curious as to why his dad came along. He didn't have the guts to ask though. What was surprising is that, once they arrived, Thomas immediately got out and marched up to the front door. He told John to stay in the car. He banged on the door like he was pissed. Soon the door opened and two older folks appeared. John knew his dad was made but he couldn't make out what he was saying. After about 10 minutes, Thomas motioned Troy to join him.
