Having started her fashion e-business six years ago Alison Fraser had become moderately prosperous. She still had her figure and her sandy blonde hair and complexion gave her the impression of a much younger for her actual age of 39 years old. In fact she had the look of a woman about ten years younger. So it was always a surprise for some people, when they found out the she had two handsome twin sons, James and Thomas Fraser, who were nearly 20 years old.
All three of them worked in the family business started By Alison. She had was the head of the business and her son James Fraser was the photographer and technical manager. Thomas Fraser was stock and store manager. But as with all small business's they all did a multitude of other jobs and tasks that helped make their own family business a success. For example all three of them would make up parcels and post order out, they would all help unload deliveries from vans and trucks and they would also make a tea or coffee for each other when they needed a break or a rest. They had a strong family bond that united them together their family bonds went much further than just the family business but also in a joint shared life to together. Alison loved her twin sons and the twins loved and adored their mother very much.
As it was a small family fashion e-business Alison had been the fashion model for the clothes that they promoted and sold. Alison was also the model for the lingerie that they sold too. In the beginning she did not have a money to employ a model so she took on the role herself, she enjoyed modelling , it made her feel special, it also made her face as a real public image for the online shop. When customers saw Alison wearing the clothes and the lingerie, the customers saw themselves wearing those clothes. All of which made the online shop a success.
"Mum! I would like a word, please." Tommy her son said.
"I am a bit busy doing the my paperwork Tommy, but I can give five minutes of my time. What is it?" Alison asked her son.
"Since James and I are now older, more responsible and the online shop is doing well... We thought that a bit of a bonus might becoming our way this year."
Alison listen to him and got the feeling that Tommy was going all over the place with this and so she just asked him what he wanted.
"What, exactly.. Do.. You.. Want!" She literally spelt out the words to him.
"Exactly?"
"Yes exactly Tommy? you have one minute left and counting."
"A car. We want a car" Tommy finally told his mother.
Alison was not overly surprised by this request because the boys had been leaving car magazines around the house for the past few weeks.
"I can get you a car." Said Alison. " How about a nice little second hand Ford, or one of those little Japanese cars, what are they called, A Corolla." Alison suggested.
"James and I thought something a bit more like this." Tommy brought out a magazine to show his mother a picture of a red sports car with two seats.
Alison just laughed out loud at his suggestion.
"No way are you getting anything like that."
"But it's what we want." Said Tommy.
"What you want and what you get in this life is not always the same" Alison told her son and went back to her paperwork.
"I'll think about it." Alison said to Tommy and then she shooed him away out of her office.
James was waiting for Tommy when he cane back from talking to their mother about buying the twins a car.
"She didn't say no but she won't buy us this one." Tommy held up the picture of the sports car.
