"What am I going to do now that you are leaving the company?" Carol asked while she removed her clothing and placed them carefully on a nearby chair. "I don't know how long I can go without seeing you."

Jack smiled as he laid Carol on the sofa-bed for the last time. "You know where I live honey, if you want me bad enough you will come to my house."

"What if someone notices me going into your house?"

Jack shook his head and said, "How many times have you visited me at my house?
And how many times has anyone ever said anything about it?"

Carol knew that what Jack said was true but all that had been work related and now Jack was retired what excuse would she use to see him at his home now?

As far as Jack was concerned it didn't matter if Carol came to him or not for he was certain that he could find a replacement or replacements for her; sure he would miss her but there were other women out there and he was sure that he would have no trouble finding them.

On the third day after his retirement Jack headed out with his camera, tripod and extra lenses and headed for the park; this was one of his favorite hobbies; taking pictures of birds, flowers and animals. In order for him to get the girls he would have to be careful how he went about it.

Jack had several things going for him and the first was the wonderfully warm weather, there would be sure to be a lot oy healthy young ladies about wearing very little in the way of clothes. The second would be that he would tell them that he was starting up his own photographic studio (which was true) and that he was looking for models.

As he wandered through the park he came upon a young woman with a baby in tow. "Excuse me mam," Jack said as he approached the woman. "My name is Jack and I am a photographer out getting photo stories for a magazine." It was at this point that Jack took out his portfolio and his identity card. "I was wondering if I might take some pictures of you and your baby."

"My name is Lisa," the young dark haired girl replied. "The baby isn't mine; I happen to be babysitting today but I think it would be fun if you took a picture or two."

Getting Lisa to pose with the baby was easy and fun; in fact Jack felt the young lady was a natural and told her so.

"Well, I think you would make a great model Lisa," Jack said, "You have a great smile, a very fine figure and you seem to exude life and fun all at one time."

It was hard for Jack to know what effect his words were having on Lisa but in his mind he tried to picture her in a bikini or something sexy. One thing was for sure he would be glad to pay her for her time.

"I can see that you are a student, am I right?" he said as he stopped taking pictures.

"Just started college," she replied. "The books are so expensive, even the used ones are steep."

"Never buy used books," Jack insisted. "The person who underlined all the so called "right" stuff may have failed; best if you buy new. I think I can help you there."

"Really? What would I have to do?" Lisa asked.

"I have a contract with the local sporting goods store and I photograph their goods with models. They do pay good money." Jack said.
