Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 27

With a chuckle she continued, "But do restrain yourself a bit because these youngsters can be tiring and at your age, you should really be careful not to overdo it."

Now both Nancy and Grace were openly laughing, taking the mickey out of me.

"Ladies, ladies please behave I don't want to have to spank you both for insubordination."

The dam broke and the tears were rolling down their cheeks from laughing.

"So you spilled our little secret?" Nancy asked me.

"No dear I never would kiss and tell, you know that, but I was really grilled and tortured by a professional who put two and two together and made at least six. But if it consoles you I gave her a cookie from the same dough."

"Excellent, I knew I could count on you to give my mom a good time, and maybe turn the tide so that she no longer thinks of herself as old and totally washed up."

"No I think Grace and I got to that conclusion in a very pleasant way."

"Good, now mom, let's get Emelia back out of the clutches of her Godmother before anything awful happens to her and she is cuddled to death."

"Oh, I almost forgot, enjoying your mother's charming company, but I may have an interesting proposal for you. I received a request for the purchase of some of your photos with Emelia. A company is willing to pay you fifteen hundred Euro to use five of the photos for their advertising."

"Wow great, I can sure use the money!"

"Well that's not the whole story, if you give them European exclusivity they are willing to pay two thousand five hundred and it doesn't stop there, if you give them worldwide exclusivity they will up it to three thousand."

"You are dazzling me with all these figures! But first what is meant by exclusivity?"

"It means they are the only ones allowed to use these photos European or worldwide, you can't sell them to anybody else anymore, nor can I use them for a competition. As your broker I am entitled to a commission, which is five percent when they are just sold with no exclusivity or ten percent if it is an exclusivity deal."

"What should I do? I have absolutely no experience in these things."

"If it were up to me Nancy, I would go for the world exclusivity; the chance that you can sell the same photo twice is virtually nil. This will give you two thousand seven hundred Euro, and me three hundred and for what? One hour's work and uh...two hours of fun and games with the model.""

"Are you sure Lew? What do you think mom?"

"Well dear, I think you should take Lew's advice and do exactly as he suggests; that sounds like a pretty good deal."

"OK let's do it."

"You won't regret it; I'll set it up for you. It will take a few days for the paperwork to arrive for you to sign and then a few more days for the money to be transferred. You will need to tell me when you receive the payment so I can release the photos. You will receive the full three thousand and will have to transfer the three hundred commission to my account."

I had never seen such big smiles as those on the happy faces of Nancy and Grace. They walked together, hand in hand out of the shop with the promise that we would see each other again one evening soon, and this time Grace would do the cooking and then maybe we could have a triple dessert to finish the meal.

I guess I better get another prescription for blue pills soon.
