I built the life I have now with ethics and hard work. None of that has rubbed off onto James, and that disappoints me, especially when I’ve tried to help him. He just thinks he can get money handed to him to piss up the wall.
He’s already been riding off the family-name coattails for quite some time, and I wait for the day he steps up and becomes a man and tries to make it on his own two feet.
I’ll always help him, but I won’t hand it to him. He has to work for it, and James hasn’t done a day’s work in his life. It remains to be seen if he ever will.
My mind drifts to his pretty girlfriend, Ariana, and how I saw her at the airport.
It’s kinda weird how he isn’t here with her, and she seemed nervous when I asked her how things were going. In fact, I know the signs enough to safely say things are not going so well at all.
I know she has no reason to lie to me, but given the fact I’m James’s father, I guess she isn’t going to pour her heart out to me in the middle of a busy airport. I’m not her keeper, though, so if he’s being a jackass, which is just about guaranteed, then it’s between them.
I’ve never really understood how James got a girl like that.She seems so levelheaded, and, well, nice, I guess. So many of his exes were either snotty, dumb, or a mixture of both, and obviously dating him because they thought he was rich.
It puzzles me, though, the way she couldn’t meet my eye.
I pull out my phone and log onto Facebook, and in less than a minute, I have my answer.
I scroll down on James’s page, and I see him with another woman. They’re hugging for the camera, and in another, they’re in the same pose but kissing.
What the fuck?
So, she did lie, but why? Obviously, it’s to save face.
It’s not like I care; she was always too good for him. He didn’t treat her nicely from the couple of times we met. He acted like an errant child.
The one time we even got close to having dinner, the conversation quickly turned sour, and I remember being left standing there with the poor girl, feeling like a complete fucking idiot. If I remember correctly, he stormed out in a tantrum over money. Not very eloquent.
I don’t think we’ve spoken properly since then.
The girl he’s hugging is pretty enough. After all, he doesn’t date ugly women, but she’s not a patch on Ariana.
I scroll down some more, and it takes a long time to locate a picture of Ariana and James.
This was back in the spring.
When I do locate a picture, they’re both laughing, and Ariana’s eyes light up the camera. They’re a beautiful blue, like on a clear summer’s day.
I scratch my chin as I scroll.
Ariana.
She’s petite but curvy, with long blonde hair, and pale skin. It’s not just her natural beauty that shines out from the photo, it’s the fact she’s a sweet person. As sweet as they come.
I really fucking hope James didn’t do anything bad like mess around with someone else. It wouldn’t be the first time.
I find myself itching to know.
I’ll beat his ass if he did.
I suddenly have an idea and click up to the search menu.
Fuck.
What is her last name again?
I don’t fucking know.
I click back to James’s Facebook page and scroll along his friends list. With any luck, she’s still Facebook friends with him and I can find her that way.
