Oh Father
I just had a talk with daddy today. He came into my room, sat on my bed. He even laughed at the poster of Pietro on my wall. I don't mind my father in my room. But what he had to say got me thinking.
He told me to stop chasing after deadbeat guys with no purpose in life. Of course he means Pietro. He said that nothing good will come out of a kid who's stuck in some run down boarding house. Of course that made me angry. It made me furious. How dare he talk that way about Pietro? He told me that he can't stop me from going to New York, because he bought a ticket and all and booked the hotel. He just wants me to think about things while I'm there.
This is what shocked me. He said that Tony Prince seemed like a good, well-adjusted kid. He told me that I should hook up with someone like that. I just didn't know what to say to that. He kept telling me that it would be a better match and said that he'd assist if necessary. I mean, Mr. Prince is very attractive and I have been wearing the silver cross which he gave me. It just feels so strange. I'm in love with Pietro but I can't give him a gift that was meant for him all because Mr. Prince gave it to me.
I think my father is serious about this. He said that I'm a Valencourt and that I deserve better than someone like Pietro. I'm not so sure. I know Pietro will like me once he gets to know me. He just has to. Pietro is just not good enough for daddy as it is. I just hope that daddy doesn't go and talk to Mr. Prince. Maybe I should check with him just in case... Before I leave for New York.
