Young Mikayla was stunning, the hood on her coat that had initially hidden the girl had now fallen back to reveal her dark brown hair set in two braids, framing a round face with a small wide but cute nose, full lips, and large arresting eyes with a slight upward tilt. In a word this girl was exotic. Her flawless skin and her features pointed to a Filipino or Asian background, but the light Mocha tone suggested mixed parentage.

"Sorry for staring Mikayla, but your just so pretty, your granddad didn't tell me that, only that you were his favourite granddaughter."

"That was his little joke, I'm his only granddaughter, in fact his only grandchild." Then in a stage whisper. "That's why he likes to spoil me."

"But he hasn't told you yet about what the surprise is that has been planned today?"

"No, he just said to dress warm, and we wouldn't get back till after lunchtime, so do you know what this is all about?"

Neither sister would admit to where they were going, only saying to wait and see, but when they neared the shop where Anna had previously brought apples, they stopped this time for a bag of carrots. They were keen to learn more of this girl, so kept up a constant stream of chatter as they completed their journey.

Arriving at the stables, Mikayla was agog looking at some of the large horses that were being lead around, and it was revealed that she had been booked up to go pony trekking for the morning. Anna had brought along a small digital camera, and took several shots of the proud grandfather and granddaughter together, before heading inside to the reception area. Max their driver, was told he could hang about in the reception's lounge area, or if he wanted to wonder around, and come back later for a coffee while the girls were out riding.

Anna and Marta took Mikayla to the girls locker room where they got changed, and there were spare riding togs for novice, or day visitors who didn't have their own riding breeches. The girl was straight up and down, as they would expect of a girl who had just turned nine, and her legs were the same beautiful shade as her face, what's more she looked fit and toned like a gymnast or swimmer.

They had shown up well in advance of the pony trekking in order that they could show the youngster around before it was time for her to set off, but now Anna was thinking of changing their plans, having a brief word with Marta, then going to speak with one of the instructors. It was all arranged, the sisters on their larger horses would join the pony crowd and as they were both considered competent riders they could assist, meaning only one staff member would be needed to lead the trek.

Having been so enamoured by this girl, and seeing her potential, they wanted to establish a rapport and hopefully draw her in to join the studio. Introducing first Irisha and then more recently Uliana to the studio, had lead to bonus payments, and a second payment was made when the girls passed the first hurdle of their third set, then signed on for a rolling contract. This wasn't purely a mercenary endeavour, the other two girls had been grateful for the life changing opportunity, and Mikayla would be too, when the time was ripe.

The three girls crossed the yard where Anna introduced Mikayla to Silver, and they fed the horse carrots, then she went on to explain all the items of tack needed to ride a horse, as she saddled up her mount with Marta's help. Leading Silver around by his reins they toured the stables showing Mikayla about till they came to where some of the younger staff were getting the ponies ready for the trekking group. As they looked on girls started to arrive who were booked for the morning's jaunt through the local countryside.

There followed a period of organised chaos as it was determined who had ridden before, and which girls were total novices. With Anna and Marta assisting, each of the new arrivals were found a mount, and helped into the saddle, then the instructor gave them a talk on the basics and lead the procession around the stable yard for a few turns before setting out along the trail.

Anna felt proud to be sitting on her very own horse giving out advise on posture and other pointers to the novice riders, several of whom were older than herself. The ponies used for the trekking were docile, and quite used to moving along in single file with the assistants moving alongside to hand out tips to unskilled first time riders. Marta was content to play backstop, looking out from the rear for any girls who were having problems as she enjoyed the fresh morning air.

With two goals in mind Anna made sure to get plenty of pictures, both close-ups and shots that showed Mikayla as part of the group activity. It had been a good idea to bring her camera along, and having it on a lanyard round her neck meant it was safe from being dropped onto the bridleway. She would get John to print off the shots she thought Max and Mikayla would want as keepsakes of her adventure, and she knew Ivan would be bowled over when he saw the exotic beauty they had found. If she could be persuaded to join the studio at only nine years old, she could have a long career; even longer taking into account the picture banking that had now taken hold.

Max had watched from a distance as the sisters had shown 'Micky' around, so pleased that the older girls had taken to her, and were making her day out really special. It had been a marvellous idea of Anna's, and it would have cost him far more than he could earn in a morning's driving, so it was undoubtedly a good deal. It warmed his heart to see how excited Micky was when she had found out the nature of her surprise day out.

Anna had told him she would take a few pictures so they would have a memento of the special day, and his son and daughter in law would be able see the event they would no doubt be hearing of for weeks to come, if Micky's excitement was anything to go by.

In their society people tended to know their place, and the lifestyle of those associated with the fashion studio was several notches above his own standing, but they were always polite, and didn't have the arrogant disposition of many of the business types that were the mainstay of his customers. Those people wouldn't even pass the time of day, let alone ask about your family, or arrange to make a special treat for your granddaughter.

At one point the manager came over to fix herself a coffee and asked Max if he wanted one, and they fell into conversation. Max learned of how the horse Anna had recently brought had been neglected by the previous owner who had not been able to pay the bills, and that Anna and her father had made sure the stables were not out of pocket. Then Max told of how Anna had arranged the birthday treat for his granddaughter, that would have been a stretch for him to afford being just a cab driver.

By the time the manager went back to her paperwork, she had a bunch of cards with the cab company number saying it would be useful having a city based driver knowing how to find their out of the way location. The horsey themed magazines in the lounge area didn't interest Max, so he went off for a stroll round the area stopping by a paddock to stroke a few of the curious animals that came up to see if he had any treats for them.

Anna liked going up and down the line of riders speeding up, then slowing down again as she spoke to them, they being unaware it was not for their benefit, but for Anna's, as she ground her pussy into the saddle with the change of movement, getting a nice tingly feeling with the pressure on her clit. She made a point of checking out that Mikayla, or Micky as she liked to be called, was enjoying her riding experience, hoping the girl might become hooked on riding, and then Anna could suggest a way to fund the hobby.

Dropping back to speak with Marta, they had both realised caution was the watchword, not wanting to move too quickly, as they needed to find out more about the girl and her family. Had they known before what a peach Max's granddaughter was, they would have laid in the groundwork by now to find these things out, but the girl had been a total surprise, for doting grandparents often over egged how wonderful their grandchildren were.

Both sisters had been on a pony trek early on when they had joined up, just as an introduction, and and then moved on to bigger and better things, but the standard outing didn't cover that great a distance, and there was a break part way round. At the chosen location they would dismount and get a chance to stretch for a bit, then there would be some snacks provided while the ponies munched fresh grass by the hedgerows.

Micky was having a great time, just as enthusiastic as all the others who were mainly first timers. As often happened with a bunch of girls several conversations seemed to be happening at once, but when Mikayla mentioned that Anna was riding a horse she owned herself, this caused a lot of interest, and they all wanted to meet Silver. Fortunately all the horses at the stables were used to noisy youngsters, so were not easily spooked, but Anna reminded them all not to approach from behind or to make any sudden moves that might alarm the horse.

While they were all eating Anna and Marta got into conversation with Micky, each taking careful note of what they could learn about her, and her family life, and raising questions that would give them a better picture of this possible recruit. Her dad's dad, was her only grandparent, as his wife had died when Micky was very young and she was only a dim memory, and she didn't know anything about her mum's parents. The fact was she knew little of her mum's heritage, other than she was born in Manilla, but said her ancestors must have come from many different countries.

Her dad was a high school teacher, mostly geography, but he also took some history classes, and coached football (soccer) at the school were he worked. Her mum worked part time as a receptionist at a large hotel in the city, but she didn't like the hours very much, and they would call her in at a moments notice if they were expecting any Asian or American guests. Although apart from Ukrainian and Russian her mum also spoke Filipino and English fluently, but coming from a country where over eighty languages were used, meant she had a smattering of other tongues where she could make do.

Both sisters were very interested to learn of any person who could speak English, for they had found good teachers hard to come by, so next Anna asked if Micky took after her mum in speaking additional languages.

"No just a few phrases here and there in Filipino, but I'm a bit better when it comes to English, as my dad said that was a useful skill to learn, but I don't get to practice much."

Anna and Marta switched to speaking in English, and a wide eyed nine year old joined in, slow and hesitant in her replies, but they felt she was able to follow what they were talking about if they kept it slow and simple. This new turn of conversation came to an end when the instructor announced that lunch was over, and the sisters were needed to help get everyone back in the saddle.

Once they were on their way again, Anna took up her duty of doling out advise to the riders nearer the middle of the string, with the instructor keeping an eye on the first couple of riders, and Marta doing the same at the rear. Each time Anna came alongside Micky she gave her tips in English, "Sit more upright in the saddle." Then seeing the girl follow her instructions, proved she had the understanding, even if she was unpractised in using the language.

At the back Marta was pondering the remaining unanswered questions, such as where the girl lived, and what her parents attitude might be to the possibility of their daughter taking up a career in modelling. Maybe as her mum didn't like her job as a receptionist, she might like to become an English teacher for teen and pre-teen girls, then perhaps after she had met some of the other models, the issue could be raised of Mikayla joining the studio.

The next time Anna dropped back to speak with her sister, Marta passed on her thoughts of how they could approach the situation, and carefully tease out the information that they needed to know. It was easy for the sisters to have a private conversation, when not at home, or with their studio friends by talking in English, knowing that most people would only catch the odd word if it was common in pop culture, just like their own knowledge of the language less than a year ago.

Anna rode to the head of the column to speak to the instructor, then moved off ahead to take a few pictures of the approaching string of riders, then went on over the last little section to catch shots of the trekkers entering the yard, with Max standing there to greet his broadly smiling granddaughter. The sisters helped the young customers dismount, it seemed most in a hurry to run over to waiting parents, but Micky was happy to stay longer, lending a hand with tack, and pleased to join in grooming the ponies.

Max wasn't concerned about the time as it was his own car, and as he was an owner-driver at the firm, he could set his own hours, so if Micky was happy, he was happy too. He loved hearing her excited tale of her outing on horseback, how high up it felt, what a good view as she could see over the hedgerows, and how sure-footed her pony had been. He took great pleasure in her enjoyment, thinking that the fun of youth was all about making new discoveries and having new experiences. It had been kind of Anna to make the offer of arranging the pony trekking, but he hadn't expected both her and Marta to devote their whole morning in making Micky's birthday treat so special.

When they finished off the tasks with the ponies, the grateful stable girls thanked their three additional helpers, then Anna asked Micky if she wanted to ride on Silver as she lead him over to the other stable block where he lived. Micky needed to use a mounting block, and granddad held her as she got up onto the bigger animal. Marta could see her sister's intent, to become a figure of admiration to the young girl, someone she might aspire to emulate, someone who she would want as an older friend and role model.

As they sorted out Silver, Anna said how there were more responsibilities when you owned your own horse, in that you had to look out for it's welfare, but you got to know the horse that much better, so you could bond with them and become friends. Back in the locker room Anna spoke of her other hobbies in order to get Micky to reciprocate, and they found that she did indeed spend time on gymnastics, and loved to go swimming as indicated by her trim healthy appearance.

Being only nine years old Mikayla had no issues about stripping down to her underwear with the older girls, to change out of the borrowed riding breeches, but she was still girly enough to take note of the expensive clothing the other two wore, from their underwear through to their top label jeans. She didn't understand the involvement of the two sisters in this special birthday treat, but she knew they must have helped her granddad through their connection with the stables, so she asked how it was they knew him.

Anna said how they used the cab company quite a lot, and that Max was one of their favourite drivers, not wanting to bring modelling into their conversation just yet, wondering if she would later talk to Max, and if he would mention the 'fashion studio' where he dropped off many of his regular schoolgirl clients aged from eight years old and upwards.

Stopping off in reception Anna asked if Marta's kit, and her own, in their lockers could be laundered during the week, distracting Mikayla while Marta spoke with the manager to arrange a few last minute treats that could be added to their account. Shortly the manager called Micky over and presented her with a 'certificate' to hang on her wall, as junior horse rider, a button badge, and a few other trinkets as mementos of her day out at the stables.

When the girls had gone to change Max went to sit in his car, well pleased he had listened to Anna's idea, sure his darling granddaughter would remember this outing for a long time to come. Seeing the trio leave the office he fired up the engine to start the car heater, worried in case any of them had got their feet wet in this cold weather.

As soon as they got into the car Micky was keen to show off her certificate and her other treasures, thanking her granddad, and the two older girls for making it such a wonderful outing. When at last Anna could get a word in edgeways, she advised Micky to take a hot bath later, as she might have strained muscles with this new activity, just in the same way she might with a new gymnastics routine. On the journey back to the city the conversation was lively with everyone participating.

When mention was made of Micky's mum, Anna said Micky told them that she was fluent in English, and wondered if she had ever thought of teaching the language, as after-all Max's son, her husband was a teacher. Max said that Mary didn't have any qualifications as a teacher, besides he hadn't heard of any schools teaching English.

"Our school, and one other we know of teaches English, plus of course there are many girls we know who are always looking to get private tuition, and several adults as well. The schools only have two lessons a week for each class, so many girls want additional help to keep ahead in the classroom."

Just as the girls had hoped Max took the bait, saying how Mary wasn't that happy with her job, and might consider taking on the odd pupil, but was dubious as to whether the income would make it worthwhile. When Anna quoted the rate pupils would be prepared to pay for lessons Max had a change of opinion, thinking Mary would gladly tell the hotel where to stick their job with it's constantly changing hours, and uncertain pay packet.

Marta joined in to say how Mary would be able to work from home, so as to be there for her family, and that Max might get some fares delivering pupils and taking them back again. When Micky joined in, Marta told her how most serious students now looked upon English as an essential part of a well rounded education. In short order the sisters came up with a list of names of people they knew who would be candidates for additional tuition, mostly fellow models, but also some staff members at the studio who felt they were being left behind in that they couldn't get involved in the new projects at work.

The sisters had originally intended to go straight home from the stables, but their whole day had taken on a new light since meeting the dusky princess sitting next to Max, so it didn't take too much cajoling to accept an invite to Micky's home. They weren't having a full blown party as such that afternoon, but it was sandwiches and jellies with the family and just having a few neighbours popping in.

As both parents worked they weren't too badly off so they could afford to have a telephone, besides that was how the hotel informed Mary when they wanted her to show up. When they accepted the offer to join the tea-party, Anna apologised that they hadn't the opportunity to bring any gift, but Micky said the cake in the boot of the car was gift enough. Marta said they should at least call up to warn Mary two extra guest would be arriving, at which Micky said it would be too hard finding a working telephone box on route, so Marta pulled out her mobile and asked for their home number.

When the number started to ring Marta handed the phone to Micky so she could talk to her mum. The youngster was very impressed as you didn't see many mobile phones about, and she had never used one before. Speaking to her mum she talked of the two extra guests coming, then turned to her granddad to ask how long it would take, then relaid the answer, at the same time explaining she was using a mobile phone, and about what an amazing time she had had so far that day.

Micky had to give the phone back for Marta to terminate the call as she didn't know what to do, then Anna got her phone out and called home to tell their mum that they were running late due to an invite to the birthday party of Max's granddaughter, and she would call later when they knew what time they would be home. The almost nine year old was lapping it all up, loving the fact she was the centre of attention, it was so much fun and having two older girls be so kind to her, even if it wasn't really her birthday till Tuesday.

The third floor apartment in a social housing project was relatively modern, fortunately not one of those awful slum dwellings in the more run down areas like where Irisha used to live. Marta asked Max whereabouts they were as she had been unfamiliar with the streets on their journey here. From his answer she was able to determine they were not far from a Metro line that could deliver a certain young lady to a new school, if plans fell into place.

Max introduced the sisters to his son and daughter-in-law, saying how invaluable they had been in making a success of Micky's day out. They were made welcome and Mary said how much the home made cake was appreciated, thanking them for all the trouble they had gone to. They stayed longer than they had intended, but the afternoon went very well as it was Max who raised the subject of English lessons, giving the girls the opening to explain the current high demand for private tutors.

Mary was bowled over to find there was a local need for English tutors either in schools or for private lessons, but showed an interest when the girls said how the only other teacher they knew of had a waiting list she couldn't hope to satisfy. Talk of the remuneration, and the fact Mary could run the lessons on her own terms, gave her serious reasons to think about at least dipping her toe into the water.

Paul, Max's son encouraged his wife to a least give it a go, as he considered teaching to be the most rewarding of professions, even if not financially. He asked the sisters which school they attended, and was impressed, stating that their school had a very good reputation, and if they ever had a vacancy for a geography teacher he would apply in a shot, then laughed when Anna said she would put in a word with the headmistress.

The tea party that afternoon was low key as advertised, but both sisters were glad they had attended and got to meet Micky's family. Anna had shown them pictures from the pony trek on the small view screen on her camera, stating she would get some of the better ones printed off so the birthday girl would have a keepsake. Marta stepped in to say how it was no trouble, and it wouldn't cost anything as they had a friend in the business, so they could pass them on to Max, or arrange to pop round again soon.

Mikayla went down to the street to see them off when it was time to go, thanking Anna and Marta, and giving her granddad a big hug before they drove off. Marta asked Max if they could go home via the studio, then as soon as he had the opportunity, one of their friends there would print off the pictures, and hopefully they would have them ready before the end of the week.

Running into reception Marta wrote a quick note, and explained to the girl on the desk that John needed to download the images off Anna's camera, and also let Ivan see the pretty coloured girl who they were looking to recruit as a new model. With a cheery wave the to the receptionist the two sisters were off again like a whirlwind, so the girl dialled up to the offices to find both John and Ivan were still in the building.

Max delivered the girls safely home thanking them for making Micky's day so special and memorable, but the sisters insisted it had been real fun for them too, and they looked forwards to seeing young Micky again in the near future. Once inside they rushed upstairs to change, then phone the studio.

John was going through the pictures on his large monitor for the umpteenth time, with Ivan looking on when the phone rang, both men were captivated by the exotic young beauty that the goose sisters had discovered. John punched the speaker-phone button when he heard the voices on the other end, but the two girls held the handset between them to join in the conversation together. They were all in agreement that Mikayla would make a novel fresh face on the site, and groaned at Ivan's pun that she would be the perfect addition to their stable of models. Anna said if there were to be any horsey jokes, she would be the one to make them.

Marta told Ivan what they knew of the youngster and her family, stating she thought it would be best first of all to get the mum involved in teaching some of the models, then slowly sound her out with regard to her attitude to the studio. Ivan thought that was a sound plan, though given the chance he would love to have the girl signed up and on set as soon as possible.

Later that evening Anna was in a good mood as she prepared for bed, doing her thing in the bathroom then slipping into one of her running horse night shirts, foregoing panties as she now considered wearing panties to bed as childish, besides she felt like playing.

Settling down snug under the covers she slowly diddled herself as she reflected what an interesting week it had been, this time last weekend they had found three new photographers, Tuesday and Friday had had been the start of her adventure with Eve, first the kissing, then on the sleepover learning why Marta was so keen on oral sex. Finally she had got to ride on Silver, and discovered a potential model and language teacher in the same day. Her fingers moved quicker as she thought of more sleepovers with Eve, and drifted off to sleep after a wave of euphoria, a slight smile on her face and wet fingers nestled between her thighs.

To be continued in Chapter 61.

Near the end of the next chapter I paraphrased a great quote from one of puellamours reviews about the nature of puritans. I know at the start I said there would be no sex scenes, but it looks as if two m-f couples are heading in that direction, also Anna and Eve may be spending more time together, which was a frequent reader request from early on in this series.
