We all have family dark secrets this is about
My Uncle Harry
I must apologies to you for his actions that influenced many people's lives.
My name is Shane like most families we have our own lovable Uncle Harry that I feel I must apologies to you for; this is my story.
We all became re-acquainted at a family wedding, my family wasn't there, they were all on holiday in Majorca. I was forced to attend in their stead, actually they paid me to go as I was somewhat short of cash at that time.
The legal marriage service was completed in 15 minutes at the city Registry Office, very dry as the Registrar read out their legal undertakings, I doubt if either my cousin or his husband to be, understood what they were agreeing to.
Once completed the wedding party retired to a hotel across the road for drinks and something to eat, wasn't a big wedding party about 30 or so. The before and after dinner speeches were colourful and hopefully for the couple of newlyweds not true.
Initially 6 of us were sitting at my table, we were the singleton or odd one's out (left overs) and didn't know each other bar one who had their partner with them, although technically uninvited as there was a no show vacant seat went unnoticed.
Where I was sitting I had Alan on my right and Mary and Beth on the left who were engrossed in each other.
Although Alan and I did have something in common we had both been recently paid off as a consequence of our companies going bust when their post pandemic funding ended.
Tim a local photographer came round the tables photographing anyone who wanted a memento of the day.
Mary and Beth wanted to be photographed together as they hugged and kissed each other, possibly a bit too intimately but entertaining.
Tim invited Alan and me to make up a photographic foursome with them we were hugged and kissed as Tim snapped away.
I think we both thought we might get lucky tonight with a foursome, back at my place flashed through my mind with inner dick twinges too.
They insisted that both Alan and I hug each other intimately to enhance later opportunities with Mary and Beth we did and walked right into their trap as Mary said.
"Now kiss each other; go on we did!"
I turned and looked at Alan as he leaned over and kissed me as Tim's camera clicked away. What took me by surprise was I let him at least I didn't react adversely to it.
The girls giggled at what they had done, Beth capped it off when she said.
"Didn't you know we are Leslies meaning you'd must be Gayies!"
Alan took up the challenge.
"Maybe we are, are you two still up for it?"
"Naw we only bang each other."
You could see Tim saw a business opportunity develop with Mary and Beth as he offered them.
"Later if you want I have a room upstairs for taking private and intimate photographs, maybe even be able to get you some payment for them?"
Mary looked at Beth who took the lead yet again.
"Yes that would be cool never been paid for doing it before."
By now they were heading off to the bar hand in hand it was now happy hour.
Tim sat down beside us and offered Alan and I a business opportunity.
"From the way you guys kissed each other I can see you both have something going between yourselves. I can offer you guys the same maybe even a better arrangement to that I offered Beth and Mary, if you like?"
Before I could tell him where to stick his camera and telephoto lens he left and descended upon the next table up as Alan said.
"Let's see what he has to offer."
"I am not a Gayies; are you?"
"Sort off."
"Care to explain?"
"Like you I'm flat broke. When I signed on they messed up my claim meaning I have to wait another two weeks before I can get any money. I am in a B&B with a nice old dear at the moment and I am already two weeks money behind.
I had managed to borrow some money to carry me over, I also asked my father's friend Jimmy 'the fixer' if he could help me out, he couldn't as he was just getting by on his dole money.
He was a coal miner and had been unemployed for over 30 years not much demand for coal miners these days.
But he knew someone who could help me out with a bit of 'off the books' work. He borrowed my phone which I was just about to run of credit for and made three calls.
I overheard him saying 'he would be a first timer a newbie doing that, would that be ok?'
He wrote down an address and said to me.
Go to that address and go smart dressed say Jimmy from the Miners club sent you.
It wasn't that far away, anyway I wasn't doing anything so I went along, it was one of those nice bungalows.
Rang the doorbell, it opened standing there was someone in their fifties in a Paisley patterned dressing gown, before I said anything he said.
"You must be Alan one of Jimmy's friends he told me you were coming to see me, come in I will show you what it's all about.
I also hear you are short of funds these days, well I and some of my friends may be able to help you out with that; if you are interested?"
I was totally confused but the implied money got my undivided attention as he ushered me to follow him.
We went into his back bedroom although it had closed blacked-out curtains the room was blindingly lit. Their was a camera on one of those three legged stands and a couch up against the far wall.
It all started to fall in place when he said holding an envelope in his hand.
"There is Β£400 in this envelope for you if you do what I say as I film you, which I will edit and it will be streamed on-line later."
Like a tailor's dummy I stood there, Β£400 meant I wouldn't be kicked out of my digs and would have some money until my gyro's came through; so I said.
"Okay."
