Chapter 58: Horseplay with Dawn.
On Tuesday I was in the shop sorting some stuff when the doorbell rang and someone came in. I looked up briefly and saw a young blond woman in the shop. I didn't really pay much attention to her as I was in the middle of something rather complicated so I just asked her to give me a minute.
"Sure Lew, no problem," the woman replied.
I immediately recognized the voice, but the woman I had seen coming in did not match the voice at all. That voice went with a young blonde with extremely long hair capable of playing Lady Godiva, so I looked up. The face looked familiar and indeed matched Dawn's face, but God her hair, it was extremely short à la Grace Jones.
"Dawn?"
"Yes Lew, didn't you recognize me?"
"Not at first no, what have you done? Where did your lovely long blonde hair go to?"
"I donated it."
"What do you mean you donated it? To whom? Why?"
"A personal friend of mine has cancer and she lost all her hair with the chemo she had to have so I donated my hair to turn it into a wig for her."
"That is a tremendously noble thing to do - it must have been hard to part with your beautiful long hair."
"Actually it wasn't, in fact, it was a bit of a blessing. The last couple of months it was getting so long and weighing so much that I regularly had terrible headaches."
"Oh God, I'm so sorry to hear that, so yes I can imagine that this feels like a relief for you."
"You have no idea, Lew."
"And what did your parents think of your decision, I know your mom was very proud of your beautiful, extremely long hair."
"Yes, at first she opposed strongly, but when I told her about the headaches and that I was doing it to help a friend, she quickly changed her mind, saying that it would grow back very fast anyway."
"She might be right there."
"Yes maybe, but now that I have this short hair I just love it. I used to spend hours drying it when I washed it and now, I wash it, towel it and I'm done, so I'm not so sure I will let it get that long again, I could go for a page hairdo though."
"Yes, I think you would look lovely like that, but I guess that's not the reason why you're visiting me?"
"No, I think it's high time we went riding again."
"The weather is indeed improving a bit but I think it's still far too cold to go riding, I don't have any winter gear to go riding outside."
"I don't mean outside, we could ride under the roof at the stables, they have this huge arena where they teach and practice carousel riding sometimes with larger groups."
"Carousel riding - it's been a long time since I've done that, we used to go with the personnel club."
"You did?"
"Yes, we got together every Friday evening in the winter to practice, and when we had our annual open house day to attract new members for the club, we gave a show. I still remember our teacher had devised a whole show to the music of David Hamilton's film Bilitis, one of my favorite photographers."
"That must have been very nice, I do love the music and also the movie of course, and I too very much like his soft focus photos. So does that mean you would like to participate?"
"Riding under a roof, occasionally yes, carousel riding, I don't think I'll have the time to do that on a regular basis."
"You could just join, we do have people who only ride occasionally with us as well."
"Yes though if I don't know the routine I might do some stupid things, breaking it up or even creating havoc."
"No, absolutely not, you know Hellen, she participates only occasionally as well."
"Does she now? She never told me."
"You know her?"
"Euh, yes, I did a project for her."
"Oh do tell, I'm curious."
"I thought you knew about it, you were even part of it."
"I a part of it, in what way?"
"God, she never asked you, she promised she would though."
"Asked me what?"
"If she could use your Lady Godiva photos."
"What did she want my photos for?"
"OK, let me show you."
I took Dawn to my office and showed her the famous men's magazine we had produced for Hellen's husband's Christmas present.
"She never told me anything about this."
"Oh boy, are we in trouble now? Hellen convinced me she had your approval to use the photos. Shall I give her a ring?"
"Yeah, I'm curious how she's going to weasel her way out of this one."
I dialed Hellen's number, well I dialed the number of the garage, as that was the one I had handy. After the second ring, someone picked up the phone.
"Hello, how may I be of service?" A female voice said, which I immediately recognized as Hellen's.
"Hello Hellen, I'm afraid I have some very disturbing news for you."
"Why, what's happened, did someone die, are you ill and dying?"
"No, I'm afraid we could potentially face legal action against us concerning the magazine."
"Legal action concerning the magazine? What did we do wrong? Was the name we chose copyright after all?"
"No, one of the models in the magazine might sue us for using her photos without her consent."
"What do you mean one of the models, which model? I was the model."
"Yes and no, there was one other model involved and apparently you didn't get her approval to use the photos."
"I still don't understand who it could be...unless...is it, Dawn?"
"I'm afraid so dear, apparently you never got her approval to use the Lady Godiva photos."
"Oh my God, yes now that you mention it, I may have completely forgotten to ask her, and is she going to press charges?"
"Charges, I don't know but I think she's going to ask for a serious amount of money because we used the photos without her explicit approval."
As I had the phone on speaker, Dawn had been able to follow the whole conversation and strangely enough, was having a lot of trouble not bursting out laughing. I mentioned to her to stay quiet. She held her hand over her mouth.
"How did she find out she was in the magazine? There were only a limited number of copies, how did she get a hold of one?"
"I'm afraid I'm the guilty party dear, she tricked me into showing it to her and she told me she had no idea we used the photos."
"That can't be true, and now that I come to think of it, I'm sure I did ask her one evening when we went riding together."
"Are you really sure?"
Dawn wasn't able to keep it together anymore and burst out laughing. When the laughing died down a bit she looked at me and said, "I really had both of you going didn't I?"
"Is that you Dawn, are you there?" Hellen asked over the phone.
"Yes Hellen, I'm at Lew's and I thought I could get both of you really wound up with that, and I did, didn't I."
"Are you serious? Was this a complete scam scaring the shit out of me and Hellen?"
"I'm afraid so, you were hilarious, both of you. As a start, I only wanted to scare you Lew, but when you insisted on calling Hellen, it was even better. Your face was...my God, I wish I'd had a camera with me to record it."
"Shame on you young lady to scare a gullible old man like me."
"Sorry Lew, sorry Hellen, but hey now that we've got you on the line, I was asking Lew if he would be interested in going riding with us again, maybe even participating in one of our carousel sessions."
"Oh yes that would be great, we're always a couple of riders short when we do that."
"But do you think I could just participate without any prior instructions?"
Dawn got in the conversation again by saying, "He only wants to chicken out Hellen, he just told me he did this before when he was still working and a member of the personnel equestrian club where he worked."
"Well there you are Lew, I don't think you can wriggle out of joining us anymore."
"OK, I'll come carousel riding with you, but only if I can find the time to do it; when do you actually do this?"
"Like when you were younger, we get together every Friday evening and do our thing, would that be a problem for you?"
"Maybe not, I'll have to check my calendar."
"Well please check if you can participate this Friday."
"OK...let's see...you're in luck, I don't seem to have anything on this Friday evening, I thought I would have, but it's been moved to Monday.
"Excellent, we'll expect you at the stables at 7:30, you're coming too I hope Hellen?"
"Yes, I'll be there, Dave has something on with his buddies anyway, so I would be stuck at home alone, totally bored."
We put the phone down and I looked at Dawn.
"Well young lady, you really scared us shitless with your stunt, maybe I ought to punish you for that."
"Oh would you Lew, like you did when you visited me that night and ravished me?"
"Yeah, you really seemed to like that, well at least after your first initial shock?"
"Yes, when you walked into the apartment I was really scared, thinking to myself, what have I agreed to? After all, I didn't know you that well at the time, you could have raped or even killed me."
"You know by now, that is not in my nature, I always try to give the women I'm with the best time possible, even if it's a bit kinky sometimes. Although I promised you another nightly visit, I'm afraid it wouldn't be the same if we were to attempt a repeat."
