The Phone Call

Tonight I do it.  I will call Papa.  I will tell him.  I am not a whore.  I am finished.  I know this now.  The new is here now.  The phone rings.  He answers.  I say hello.  I wait for this moment 11 years.  I tell him I quit it.  I am not a whore.  He is a happy man.  He tells me how?  I tell him I have a date a guy.  I don't tell him it's open.  Just I date him.  Papa asks who he is.  Wants to know.  I said just a guy at the gym.  He asks questions lol.  Papa worries.  I lie.  I tell him I stay at Georgia's.  I don't.  I just visit her.  I don't really ask to move in.  I just not leave here.   Papa talks.  He tells me.  He hears I'm happy.  A voice he has not heard.  Not for a long time.  I tell him I get therapy.  The lady and I talk.  It's many times.  Mark pays for it.  Papa is surprised.  This is expensive.  I say to him it's ok.  I tell him I am sorry.  For so long I am angry.  I hurt so long.  I tell him he keeps me going.  I learned Papa is the man I must see.  Not the pooner.  This is what I learn.  Papa tells me.  I can come for Easter?  I say no.  I can't see Mom.  I not see her for years.  We don't talk.  He tells me she gets help.  Drinking is slowed down.  Papa asks does he know I am a whore.  I tell him.  It's not a big deal to Mark. 

Do you tell someone you are a whore.  I tell Mark?  It's some time now.  You remember I ask him?  He is sorry for a whore.  No hate at all.  I tell him.  He is quiet.  The next day he comes back, sais another date.  It's before Christmas.  Is one thing I must do.  I get tests.  They are all back negative.  He does too.  Nothing either.  This crosses my mind for a long time.  What will he do.  Instead he does nothing lol. 

Papa is proud.  He said it's a step.  A big step.  He asks me what can I do?  I tell him I don't know yet.  Papa sais I can fly down. He will pay.  He wants to see me.  He sais can Mark come.  I tell him I don't know.
