Subject: It was always about the bets 112

It was Friday and another cold but sunny day and the run was good, I had
time so I was drinking coffee and reading the paper and realized it was
almost Valentine's Day and I needed an idea for Carrie. I was as usual
stuck, as I would could just buy he something really nice, but was thinking
it needed to be something really personal and definitely not expensive. I
showered and was leaving for school when I saw dad. He said Mike, thanks
for being serious about the reduced work schedule, please keep it up. I
smiled and said no problem and he shook his head and said please.


In the car it was back to Carrie and a gift. I remembered how much she
liked the charm bracelet I got her for Christmas and needed something along
those lines. At school, it was the usual classes and a very normal day,
until lunch. About halfway thru lunch I noticed Allen, the new kid, sitting
with a couple of teammates and I decided to go over. As I approached,
everyone he was sitting with got up and moved to another table. I sat down
and said, Allen I'm sorry about that. I just wanted to say hello. He looked
at me and said, hello and kept eating. I was looking at him, wondering what
to do or say next. I said, so Allen I understand you play linebacker,
welcome to the team. He looked at me and said, I play right outside backer
and I'm not moving to accommodate you. I laughed and said, dude we have a
very good team coming back and for the fucking record, I simply play where
ever the damn coach tells me to play, if you want to be a productive member
of the team you will do that as well. He looked at me and said, just fuck
off. I took a deep breath and asked, what is your problem with me? He said
everything and started eating. I simply got up and went back with JJ, Jim
and Alex, shaking my head. Jim said, well I'm guessing that was strike 2. I
laughed and said and a foul ball as well. The fucker needs to get a hit of
some kind, very soon.


Afternoon classes were typical and I signed out of study hall and went
looking for Coach Weston. I started with his office and Nancy said he was
at the stadium. I thanked her and continued my search. I found him in the
stadium talking with a maintenance worker, I waited till he was finished
and asked for a minute. We sat in the bleachers and I asked, coach what's
with the new dude Allen? He said Mike, I talked with his coach in Ohio and
I was told he is a good linebacker, a better tight end but want to play
defense. He is furious that his parents uprooted him and I'm guessing he
doesn't like you as his parents are working for your dad. Then coach said,
Mike please stop hiring people with kids that can play football and he
laughed. I said coach, if he keeps up with the attitude I'll fire his
parents and he can go back to Ohio. I said if he is divisive or costs us a
game, I'll have him shunned. Coach asked, that I be patient and let him
work through all this. I said, coach anything for you and the team but he
already has 2 strikes and a foul ball, well in my mind. So for now I'll
ignore him. Coach said thanks. As I was leaving, I said, coach, I'll have
Jim discuss workouts with him, I think he is lazy and definitely
flabby. Coach laughed, saying damn that describes the entire team, well
except for you and Jim. I laughed and said exactly and went inside to
workout.


Back inside, the workout area was jammed and I saw Jim talking with Sam and
a bunch of his buddies. It was good to see everyone being serious. I
started to stretch and then started working on weights. I noticed, Allen
watching me from a distance and was thinking, now what? I continued my
workout and was doing the dreaded pull ups and I saw Jim talking with
Allen. I finished and was cooling down and Jim came over and said Mike that
kid is a problem. I shook my head and said let's shower and see if he want
to go to the Tavern. Jim said, Mike you ask him, I'm almost done. I said
fine and went over to Allen and asked if he wanted to join Jim and I for a
bite to eat, our treat? He shook his head and walked away. I went up to him
tapped his shoulder and he turned and swung at me. I ducked and he punched
the wall and I screamed, ASSHOLE THAT ALL YOU GOT? He looked at me and
said, next time, I won't fucking miss. Just then Weston screamed, YOU TWO
MY OFFICE, NOW. I started towards the door and coach yelled THAT MEANS YOU
ALLEN. I went in the office sat down and waited, no Allen. I looked at him
and said, all Jim and I did was invite him to get a bite to eat, so now
what? He just defied you? Coach said, Mike I got this. I said well you
better because people are taking sides and one kid better not upset the
chemistry on our team. He looked at me and said Mike, our team or your
team? I got up and left, slamming the door, found Jim and said my place.


We took separate cars to my place, I grabbed 2 beers and we sat in the game
room, talking. My phone rang a number of times and Jim finally asked, you
going to answer that? I said no it's coach and I'm too pissed to talk to
him. Just then Jim's phone rang and he answered saying, hi coach, way to
fuck thing up. Jim listened for a few minutes and said, nope and hung
up. He looked at me and said, he asked me to please have you call him, you
heard my answer. I said, Jim thanks but I'm furious, he questioned my
dedication to the team and my motivation. Jim, a new kid comes here and is
from all indications is a complete asshole and he takes the new kids side,
really? After all we have been through together? Mike, please calm down. We
had another beer and I changed the topic to thee girls and asked what they
were doing for Valentine's Day? He said, I really don't know, I was
thinking flowers or candy, what you doing? I laughed and said, I have no
fucking idea. Just then there was a knock on the door and there was Coach
Weston, I invited him in, offered him a beer and he said sure.


He saw Jim and said, I'm glad you are both here, saves me a trip and a
bunch of time. First of all, Mike I'm sorry and I made a mistake, you did
not deserve my comment. You have always cooperated and kept your ego in
check. I know I crossed a very important line, I'm sorry. I said, coach I
hope you have a more important reason for the visit? Mike, please just give
Allen some space, I'll get this done. Coach, if Jim and I give him space,
so will everyone on the team and he will be isolated. Jim said, coach Mike
is right, so what you really asking? Guys, that you let the kid adjust, he
has been uprooted and is a mess. I said, coach that's bull shit, look at
JJ, he adjusted and it was the same for him, only he is a year older so it
was harder. It seems to me you are dealing with this kid differently, I
need to know why?


Mike, you and Jim run this team, for some reason you are unable to do that
with this kid, I need to figure out why and for the first time, you two
need to be out of it. I shook my head and said fine, I hope you know what
you just asked for? Jim, can speak for himself but I'll stay away and will
be working out at my gym. His said, coach this disappoints me as much as it
disappoints Mike and I will also do my workouts at the gym, as I'm a member
as well. Then Jim, shocked even me and said, coach have a great night and
got up and went outside and sat in my chair. I had no idea what to say or
do so I just sat there. Finally, coach said Mike, I'm sorry. I said coach,
I hate that word and you just isolated Jim and I from our team because of
an untested jerk, I got up and joined Jim outside leaving the coach sitting
there. Jim and I just sat there with rule 1 in effect.


Finally, Jim said he was leaving and we both went inside and I noticed
dad's office door was closed, I thought fuck and walked Jim to the
car. Back inside I went straight to my room, grabbed my headphones and laid
on the bed. At some point I realized my phone was ringing and damn, it was
dad. He said Mike, I yelled for you to come down to my office, am I being
ignored? I immediately hung up and went down stairs, knocked on the closed
door and went in. There I found dad and the coach, I said dad, so why the
fuck are you questioning me as well, is that the ruse of the day? Michael,
sit down and as you say rule 1 and rule 4. I asked, so is rule 4 LISTEN? He
smiled and said please? Dad then went into Allen's parents in detail. I
listened quietly and when we was finished coach started on Allen. When they
were finished I said I understand but that changes nothing for me. My
integrity was questioned my both of you today and that is totally
unacceptable to me and to be honest, I deserve better. This NEW KID is
getting special treatment, none of us appreciate that. I'll stay away from
the kid and will work out on my own or with Jim. Is there anything else?
They just looked at each other and I said good night and left closing the
door a little harder than necessary.


Upstairs, I was furious and there was no end in sight. This was serious and
would split many sophomores and hurt our team. Then there was a knock on my
door and I said dad come in and in walked coach. I said coach have a seat
and I joined him in the other seat. I looked at him and asked, what do you
really need? He said, Mike I need you and Jim in a better place. I said
coach, that ship sailed. He said, Mike please try to understand. I said,
coach I've tried, I simply don't understand at all, why the fuck is this
kid special? Mike, you won't like this but he is special because he has the
balls to tell you to fuck off and no one has done that on the team and for
that matter the school. So Mike, how you going to deal with that? I said,
coach I'm not going to deal with it, if you let this split the team I can't
stop that. I have too much on my plate and football is months away and we
only have 3 months of school left. He is not worth my time, see if Jim want
to do something, he is very much his own man. Anything else? He said Mike,
there is a lot more but let me know when you are ready? I looked at him,
shook my head and said, good night, you know the way out.


A few minutes later, dad came in without knocking and I glared at him and
said, now what? He said, Michael James, you need to get next to yourself
and cooperate with the coach. I said dad, are Allen's parents big time
contributors to the company? He said Mike, NASA sent them and that is a
problem with them as well as with their kid. I said dad send them back. I
won't lose to this kid and the team could easily be the rubble as well as
my relationship with the coach. Dad just looked at me and I said good night
and put my headphones on and climbed into bed. Dad left slamming the door.


Unable to relax, I went downstairs and knocked on dad's door and he said,
Mike thanks for stopping in. I said dad there is one thing that I give a
fuck about and it is you and me so let's get this resolved, please. Mike,
I'm not mad and I get your point of view and I see the coaches tough
spot. Mike, you and Jim have one more season, he wants, no needs to build a
program. It is tied to his legacy. Dad, I get it but that's not the kid and
most of his upcoming talent are freshmen. Mike, if you say so. Dad, I'm
tired and the season has not even started. Mike, just hang low and you and
Jim, will end this the right way. By the way, I did not intend to question
you I just needed you in the office. I said, dad I know. I'm good and I
hope you are.


Back upstairs, I called Jim and we talked and agreed that we would hang
low, run and workout off sight at the gym. We also agreed to avoid
answering and questions and to invite Alex and JJ to join us working
out. He said that he was all in. I hung up and called Carrie and she
thankfully went on and on about work and Jodie and the new firm. I asked
what all she was doing and she said learning a lot about the design
business and I thought, damn some good news on an otherwise bleak day. I
told her that I loved her and would see her in English and hung up.


The next morning was cold and rainy, so I just sat in the kitchen drinking
coffee and was reading the paper. Dad, came up behind me and rubbed my head
and said, Michael, have a good day. I laughed and packed a bag for the gym,
showered and drove to the office. I was in Jeans and a polo shirt as I
figured it was a down low day. I was surprised to see the parking lot was
fairly full, then I realized we were busy and there were flex hours. On the
way to my office, I stopped for coffee and was pleased to see that the
joint remained clean. I had to make coffee and while it was brewing, Kyle
came up saying, dude it's good to see you, I need some time. I poured a mug
of coffee and said, Kyle can you give me an hour? He said sure and I went
to the office. On my desk was a number of envelopes and I saw that the drug
tests were back and both tests were clean, I called both Dillon and Mason
and told them that the drug results were back and I asked. If they could
come in around 1:00 today. Mason said sure and Dillon said he had plans but
would cancel. I thanked both guys and was checking my emails when Kyle came
in.


Kyle sat down and said, Mike I'm swamped. I asked, so what do you need? He
said an assistant. So Kyle, how much technology does this guy need to know?
He laughed and said some but I need someone to help with the other shit,
like team meetings, notes, meeting summaries. I said, Kyle, I might have an
idea. But what else, he said well someone to coordinate the computers which
are being delivered next week and getting things organized at the NASA
site. I said, Kyle do me a favor and come back here at 1:00 and we can
talk. I have a conference call. Kyle said sure and I called Jodie. We
talked about the temporary furniture and she said that deliveries would
start Tuesday and that it was very generic and I said I did not care. Then
she said some day soon, you need to look at fabrics and finishes for the
new building. I said any late afternoon here at the office, just let me
know and she said fine, will do.


I needed more coffee and went into the cafeteria and damn the pot was
empty, I made more and was looking at emails when a guy came up to me and
asked, your are Mike Simmons, correct? I said yes, what's up? He said
thanks for all you are doing, the changes around here are fantastic. I said
well what do you do here? He said he was a program designer and that he was
swamped. I asked, is that's why you are here today, getting caught up? He
said yup but it is getting old as it has become every weekend. I asked, how
many people are in the same position? He said lots. I said thanks and
please send me an email with your schedule and ideas for a solution. I
poured the coffee and went to my office. Word was out and my phone started
ringing and there was no filter as Ruth was not around. Just then there was
a knock on the door and Dillon was standing there in jeans and a polo shirt
and a leather jacket.


I got up shook his hand and said welcome aboard. He smiled and said so
Mike, what do you need today, I thought accounting was a 9 to 5 gig. I
laughed and said well, if that's what you want, but I remember you applied
for an Administrative Asst. position. He said, Mike that's correct. Well I
have the VP of technology in need of an Administrative Asst. do you think
you would like that? He smiled and said, most likely. I called Kyle and
asked if he would come up and I had a potential surprise for him. When he
got to the office I introduced Dillon and said why don't you two get out of
there and chat. Kyle just looked at me and they left the office.


I got up to stretch and ran into Mason. I said dude, welcome aboard, he
said thanks. I said you up for lunch and he said sure, I'll always eat. We
got in the car and I'm sure he was wondering where the fuck are we going?
It was a quick trip to Greentree and we went inside and I said, this is one
of my favorite places, I was greeted by the owner and Mason quietly
watched. I ordered iced tea and so did he. When it was beer, he said, ok I
give up who the fuck are you? I laughed and said a lot of things and yet
very predictable? He said really? I ordered and before he did, I said
whatever you order it is a lot and everything is great, well except their
Ruben's. He ordered an Italian delight and fries and I ordered more iced
tea.


Mason, just looked at me. I asked, dude did I make a mistake? He laughed
and said not at all, I'm hearing that this will be a fun ride. Ok, Mason
here is the deal, just keep up and when I'm not around you will have a lot
of freedom, just don't fuck it up to often. I'm polite but demanding and if
you have an issue, push back. Always ask why? With me being out of the
office a lot, hyou will have a lot of responsibility and you will fuck up
and just so you don't do the same mistake twice, I'll be good. Understand
what we do and how we do it is private and stays between us. I play hard,
rough and 100% legal. There will be rubble and I generally try not to piss
people off. Does most of that work for you? He said yes just what I
expected. The food came and he laughed and said, how does someone eat all
this? I just started on my burger.


Back in the car, Mason asked, so how do you do all this? I said with a very
good and very young team, you will be an elder statesman. He laughed and
said, so do I get VT tickets? I said sure and we will travel by private
jet. I pulled in the parking lot and put my arms around him and said, let's
get to work. I set him up at Ruth's desk and gave him phone instructions. A
few minutes later my office phone rand and Mason asked if I could see
Dr. Williams, I said tell Kyle to cut the crap and I'm free anytime. I was
listening and Mason said, Kyle, Mike said cut the crap and that he was
free. I thought perfect.


Kyle came in and I asked Dillon to get acquainted with Mason.  Kyle closed
the door and said, so you we're burying that kid in accounting? I laughed
and said temporary storage and I filled him in on the process. Then I said
tell Dillon that he gets a $1,000 raise for putting up with you. Oh, that's
gets him on the same level as Mason. He said, Mike thanks. I called both
guys in and said, you two will be in effect assistant ring masters. Stay in
your lane and both Kyle and I will be good. Mason, expect some late night
and he said, understood and expected. I said, ok everyone back to work.


I worked for a while and things settled down and Mason came in and said
Jodie called and said to ask you to pick an afternoon to meet? I asked if
he could work late Tuesday? He said sure and I said, please set that up and
add it to my schedule. He said sure and I said get out of here and have a
fun weekend. On Monday have Ruth get you settled and here is my number. He
wrote a note with his number. I was in the car and Mason was behind me and
got in a car and drove off. I checked my Calendar and damn 3:00 Tuesday J&J
Architects was there.


Back at home, I called Carrie and asked if she wanted to catch a movie or
simply go to the mall? She said anything that just involved us hanging
out. I thought for a minute and thought we could rent a movie and make
popcorn at her place and to my surprise she said that sounded great. I told
her that I would be there soon she could pick a movie. At the rental store
she picked Silence of the Lambs. When we got to her place there was no sign
of Sam and I assumed he had a date with Kathy. As it turned out we were
alone as her parents were out for the evening. We were getting ready for
the movie when I asked if I could see her room, I had never been in
there. She said sure and I opened the door to an immaculate clean room with
peach walls, lace curtains and bare floors with a throw rug and before I
knew it I was on my back on the bed and she was all over me. It was a quick
wild session and my shirt was still on and my jeans never made it beyond
the knees and I laughed looking at her in the same condition and said, so
were you honey or what? She kissed me and said or what and got up and
pulled herself together. I did the same and as we started down stairs, I
grabbed her and gave her a big hug and said damn you are aggressive in your
own bed, we should do it more often. Expecting a slap, I kissed her before
she could. Down stairs it was the movie and popcorn. After the movie we
just talked about things and I mentioned that she most likely had an
meeting Tuesday afternoon. She smiled and said, I know. Then, I grabbed her
and started making out and right on time Sam flew in but went right to his
room. I asked, what is he up too? She said, Mike I don't know but he is
organizing something all he does is talk on the phone and it is with
everyone. I said, Carrie I'll be right back went upstairs and found Sam's
room and knocked on the door, he yelled WHAT? I opened the door and said
nice attitude. He said sorry, I was busy. So Sam what's up? Mike, I told
you I got this Allen thing so relax and I bet you you find it hysterical? I
laughed and said I'll take that bet and it won't be as funny as you
think. Just don't totally fuck it up. Back down stairs I kissed Carrie good
night and drove home.
