James shook his head continuously, like a broken machine.<em>What the hell was going on...why is dad bringing a hooker into the house like this?</em>A mix of emotions swirled through his mind: relief that it wasn't all some prank meant to make his life miserable, anger that his father would be involved with a prostitute in this way, fear of what might result from this, a sense of brotherhood in that Jake knew just as little as he did, and somewhere...deep inside...jealousy. His father yet again had some beautiful young woman around, almost like he was taunting James and his inability to find a girlfriend.<em>Some of us have to actually</em>try<em>to succeed in life, dad...it's not fair that you don't have to do anything to get this life...it just come knocking at the door, literally.</em><br/><br/>He waited for Jake to return before walking in together, and he took the seat next to him.<em>This is what dad does when he wants to have a "chat." Better settle in for the long haul I guess.</em>
