"You may enter Rohnny."
"Thanks Geoff, go ahead and take the rest of the day off, on me."
"Thank you, sir," he said as he ran away before my dad calls him. I always feel bad for Geoffry, he can do so much more than a butler. I can't wait for the day when dad pushes the wrong buttons so he'll quit.
I walked into my dad's office, clean and prestine as usual. I see my dad behind his desk, looking menacing and powerful as usual. Nothings wrong with all those things, I guess, but what's really getting to me is that same bored face. Ever since I was born I've seen that same face; mocking me!
"What's up dad?"
He doesn't say anything, just slides a stack of papers my way. I don't have to read the whole page to know what he means.
"Your disowning me?!?"
"Yep."
"B... but dad..."
"Rohnny, all you've ever done is used my money and wasted my time. And if I wanted that then I would've remarried. I'm tired of paying for your bails, lawyers, and abortions, and who knows maybe you'll be a better person out on your own, finding peace and all that hippie stuff."
"First of all, it was one abortion, second of all, that wasn't my fault, third of all, dad I just did all those things cause... I wanted your attention."
He actually laughed. I might seriously cry right now, but I don't think that'll help my case.
"Well I guess the irony's on you."
"What if I pay you back, will that help?"
Will that make you you finally love and appreciate me?
"...Alright... if you come up with... hold on a moment," he took out his phone and called somebody, putting it on speaker.
"Hello Geofferson, boy let you out early again?....thought so, can you quickly calculate all of the money that's ever been spent on Rohnny?....mmmh I see.... thanks for the math lesson, see you tomorrow."
MY LIFETIME, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! DIAPERS ALONE COULD'VE COST A GOOD THOUSAND!
"You owe me 10 million son, and I'm giving you until the end of 10 years to come up with the money, nothing illegal please. You should know I'm only doing this because someone has to inherit the company, why not you? But for now Rohnny your not my problem."
I nod, take the papers and walk away. But before I'm out the door he has the audacity to say, "Happy birthday."
Oh, he thinks he's so great, just you wait pops, its not over yet!
