Life With Lenny

By B.L.Cunningham

Lenny arrived at the lobby of the Hollywood hi-rise where  his agent's office was located and Mike Warren was there  perhaps a minute later. The two men grinned at one another, as happy and care free as two schoolboys  let loose from their classes for the summer .Once in the elevator, Lenny instructed Mike "Now remember, just casually hand Bill the tickets" said Lenny "Got it, no problem !"  said Mike
The men announced themselves to the receptionist & a moment later, Bill Evans popped out to greet them " Lenny, Mike.. come on in. what  brings you two out on such a fine  morning ?" the older man asked as he waved them to the seats around his desk. "Well,  we found something we thought  you might enjoy..."  Mike said as he offered Bill the two tickets to the Oscars award ceremony Bill took the offered tickets and looked them over "That's mighty thoughtful of you, I sure..." Bill did not finish his sentence, he seemed to be giving the tickets unusual scrutiny "Hmm, Mike these tickets are in the Reserved section, how in the world did you get them? Reserved tickets are normally only handed out to the major stars and the nominees"
In unison, the two men presented their envelopes to Bill and happily nodded at him like a pair of bobble-head dolls Bill took the envelope from Mike and opened the official letter, his jaw sagging open in shock & surprise"This... is the most wonderful news I have ever received, I'm just stunned.. thrilled for both of  you !"  Bill's next sentence shocked both men "  Does this mean you will be signing up with one of the big agencies like William Morris..?" Both men looked angry  "What the hell you  mean  a big agency,.? said Lenny "You gave me jobs when no one else would !"  Mike stood up from his chair "Yeah and when my Ma was so sick in the hospital you were there at her bedside as often as I was, just so a nice old lady wouldn't be scared or lonely, you think I'd forget something like that?  you  think the big shots at William Morris would do that for me? in a pig's ass they would !"
Bill shook his head "Forgive me, I know in this town loyalty is a foreign word, I forget that the two of you are thankfully not the usual "Hollywood artist " types for which I thank God !" the man chuckled "you know this means I will have  to double  your rates"  "Sounds  good  to me "   Mike said, his  good nature restored "Just  don't price me out of the game, Bill, I love  doing commercial jingles and stuff like  that  " Lenny said and resumed his  seat the three men passed a very enjoyable 45 minutes making plans  and agreed they would have a celebratory luncheon at the Brown Derby the following day.
Lenny drove  home to Glendale grinning and whistling and looking forward to Laverne's "Lunch Time Special"  Lenny's name for a lazy slow hour of erotic pleasures for both of them, as  Linny would be at school and they could be as lewd & vocal  as they liked.
Lenny parked in the driveway and entered the garage, where he proceeded to undress and leave his clothes neatly piled on top  of the washing machine; Lenny silently opened the door to the kitchen, already feeling his over sized penis on the rise. As he  strolled from the kitchen he loudly said "Honey, I'm hungry... what's  for  lunch ?"
Unfortunately, Laverne wasn't alone ....
