Subject: It was always about the bets 155

The alarm woke me and Cole was waiting for me in the kitchen. The run was
good and finished with time to spare. Coffee was already on and it was
our typical shower, together. On the way to school, I asked Cole how
things were at school? He said Mike, everyone knows I'm leaving and they
are suddenly pulling away. It's strange but I expected it at some point.
It's just a little hard to deal with. Then he asked MJ, can you tell me
about Sam? I laughed and said, well not in 3 minutes, as we were at his
school. He said, he had golf so would be a little late. I said ok,  I
have a meeting at work to get ready for tomorrow and I need to hit balls
at the club. So a late dinner and I'll fill you in on Sam. He said
thanks and got out of the car and went to class. I pulled into the
parking lot and saw JJ and we were walking in the hall and he said
something in Spanish and I stopped to figure it out and someone walked
right into me and there were books all over the place. I turned around
and apologized for no break lights and she laughed. We picked up the
books and a few papers and as I was handing her what I picked up our eyes
met, for just an instance. Then she smiled and said, thanks for the help
Mike. I said, well the entire thing was my fault. I stood there longer
than necessary and went to class. Morning classes were good and I was
thrilled to have a morning study hall.


At lunch JJ said Mike, you were a little starry eyed this morning. Was
there something there or you just horny? JJ I have no idea who she is,
all I did was help clean up a mess that was my fault. Jim started to
laugh and said, MJ you are so totally unaware. Janice ran into you on
purpose, she has had a thing for you since it was clear you and Carrie
were finished. I laughed and said, well at least she is cute. Then I
said, so besides that she is cute with long reddish brown hair and perky
tits, what do you know about her? Jim said well she is in our class and a
solid student and plays volleyball and softball and yes she can play. JJ
simply said MJ, you were just stuck on Carrie, you don't know many of
the girls in our class or the fucking building for that matter. I laughed
and said, I have nothing to say to that and I went to class.


As soon as possible I signed out for work and drove straight to the
office. Once there I went straight to my office and found Riley there. My
desk was totally organized and there was iced tea. I smiled and asked,
what she had for me and she said, there is nothing important and you have
a meeting with Brian, Tim and your dad and they are in the conference
room. Then she said, please check my calendar for next week and I'll
email you the details. I asked how things were and she said, much better
and this will be fun. I then said Riley, you never get me drinks, but
thanks for the tea. She laughed and said, that was not me and never will
be, it was Ruth. I laughed and went to my meeting.


I went into the conference room and it was all business. We discussed in
detail the Board Meeting and the status of Project 2. Everyone was
willing to start as soon as possible. I agreed as I wanted income. Then
we discussed Project 1 and that we were way ahead of schedule. I said,
well Mason is still on that and Riley would be working with the furniture
people and J & J Architects. I really want out of the strip district
offices. Dad said, he had the board meeting and all I need to do was to
be there and pay the bills. Then I said, I need to be gone at noon as
I'm playing golf in Latrobe. Tim and Brian exploded at the same time and
when they were finished, I said it is with the Presidents of Dicks
Sporting Goods and the Giant Eagle and AP. It's work and I was invited.
Please tell me how I can say no to that? There was no answer so I asked,
what with this attitude today? Dad said Mike it seems you prefer it that
way so we decided to cooperate. I just laughed out loud and said, so I'm
getting the Mason treatment? Then the three of them laughed and dad said,
exactly. I just thought for a minute and said, thanks I get it all I do
is make politely worded demands. Tim said, exactly. I said, ok there are
no excuses, I get it. They asked about dinner and I thought shit, I need
to hit golf balls, but said sure where we going? Brian said The Edge in
Mt. Washington, great view and great food. I asked for 30 minutes and
went to my office.


Realizing the guys were correct, I ordered flowers for Ruth to be
delivered on Monday, sent Riley an email asking if she was free for
dinner on Tuesday. Sent Mason and Dillon an email asking if they would be
free on Saturday for lunch and it was not a work thing, just lunch. Then
I sent Kyle and his wife a gift certificate for dinner. With that done, I
got in the car and drove to Mt. Washington, the car was parked and I
joined the guys for dinner. Dinner was no business and just catching up
and the view of the skyline and the three rivers was fantastic. While we
were waiting for the cars, I pulled dad aside and said thanks and that I
would be an hour or so as I was going to hit a couple or hundred golf
ball or until I hit 10 in a row dead on. He laughed and said, well I
guess I'll see you around midnight. Then he said, thanks for getting the
message with no drama. I shook my head and got into the car and
remembered I had no clubs as they were at the various clubs. Damn I need
a third set. I guess it will be golf early the board meeting and golf
again. Shit, I need to work out and run and things keep getting in the
way. I decided to call VT and talk with the strength coach and see about
a program, one that would schedule me.


I pulled into the driveway just behind dad. He looked at me and I said,
well it took 15 swings, he put his arm around me and we walked in
together to find Cole eating alone. I thought shit, I had told him I
would be late but not this late. I went up to him gave him a big hug and
whispered, I owe you but it was out of my control and I should have
called. He smiled and said, you got that right on both counts. I sat down
and asked how golf was and he said, it is very very good. I told him
about my day tomorrow and he laughed and said well three sets of clubs
and none available. We both laughed and he said well I will be getting
fitted for new clubs and you can have my old ones. I said Cole, please
order 2 sets. He jumped up and hugged me and said really? I said yes one
for each course you practice at and a backup in case one breaks. Dad
joined us and said, damn it's great to see you guys getting along. Cole
looked at him and said yes we are and don't you and my mom fuck this up.
Dad looked at me and said Mike, you are rubbing off on him. I smiled and
said yup. Once dad left, I said Cole, I need a favor, can you have Michel
check out Janice Clark? He laughed and said that sexy chick who has it
bad for you. Cole, how does everyone know that but me. He laughed and
said you are just socially unaware and it would help your business
connection If you paid attention to people around you. Well the ones you
are not involved with. Ok, Cole enough with the lecture just spill it.
Well asshole you have been going to the same school with her for 6 years,
so you should be telling me. Then he said, well I'm guessing the
physical stuff has your attention. She is smart, but not smart like
Carrie, she is athletic and a big time volleyball player and a bigger
time softball player with college offers. She just broke up with a guy
and you showed up on her radar. She is serious, like you, and works hard.
I said, how the fuck do you know all this? He laughed and said, as hot as
she is I knew you would be asking once she made a move, I'm guessing
that happened today. I said ok, what her phone number? He said MJ, I have
no idea.


I went upstairs and thought about it and figured I would call JJ and ask
him to see if Dee could get Janice's phone number? He said, shit that
didn't take long. I said, solo collate y ayuda, por favor (Just shut up
and help, please) he laughed and said sure and hung up. A few minutes
later he called back with a number. I said thanks and hung up. I threw
myself on my bed and was thinking about my schedule and and an approach.
It was not going to involve a country club and it was going to be a teen
thing. I thought about hanging at the mall, a movie and then I settled on
miniature golf at Cool Springs and burgers or something at Eat n Park. I
picked up my phone and then put it down and thought, damn do you really
want to do this again, then I thought just go slow and easy. Make it a
high school thing and nothing more and see where it goes or if it goes at
all. I dialed the number and a guy answered and I asked if Janice was
available, he replied sure dude, I'll find her. About a minute later
Janice said hello. I said hi, this is Mike and I'm just checking on how
you are after the crash in the hall this morning? She laughed and said
she was fine and appreciated the help with the debris. It was my turn to
laughed and she said so what the real reason for the call? I thought
damn, let's just get right to it. I said ok are you free to hang out
Friday night? She said well that depends on what hanging out means? I
just said, I was thinking about miniature golf and burgers at Eat n Park.
There was a slight pause and she said that's actually perfect. I said
great, I'll pick you up at 7:00 she gave me the address and then asked,
can we have the roof down on your car? I laughed and said, well I was
planning on driving my dad's sedan. She said that's hysterical. Then I
said well sure, I'll just wear a hair net. She came right back with well
that messy look you had a while back was sexy but whatever. Then I asked
who answered the phone? She said my TAM brother. I asked TAM? She said
Tough Assed Marine, home on leave. I thought damn but said, see you in
school and we hung up.


Almost immediately Cole came in and sat on the bed beside me and asked,
how did that go? I said a date next Friday, mini golf and Eat n Park. He
laughed and said well there is a Motel right across Rt 51 you can use. I
laughed and said, this is a very low keyed first date, so how are you and
Michel? He said we are good and are hanging here Saturday night. You dad
is driving me home from Oakmont and that pressure and the two of us are
hanging here and you dad is playing cards at the club. I was going to ask
you to get her home. Dude, that's not a problem. Then he said tell me
about Sam? I said, well leaving out the physical stuff you are already
attracted to, he is wicket smart, funny, ring master of his class and
will be of the entire school once JJ, Jim and I are gone. He loves to bet
and has a very, very kinky side. What else? Does he have a girlfriend?
Well Cole, a while ago it was the Majors daughter, Kathy but I really
don't know. Then he asked, is he a good athlete and I said yes. Then he
got up and I thought he was going to leave and he locked the door and
stood by the bed and said, are you just going to lay there looking or are
you going to get up and get naked with me? I reached out and grabbed his
tent pole and pulled him into bed with me and we started making out and
soon enough we were naked and each had a cock in our mouths. Suddenly he
grabbed my balls and pulled and my dick came out of his mouth. He started
to kiss again and said, oral doesn't do it tonight, I'm thinking we
both need a load in our asses, so it's a flip fuck and NO RAINCOATS.
Before I knew it he was sitting on my cock and riding like crazy. I
grabbed his shoulders and pulled him forward and started to kiss him and
was working his ass. I just kept kissing and pumping and finally shot a
load in his ass. Almost immediately my ass was hanging over the bed and
Cole was standing behind me and he dove right in and I grunted. My ass
was slapped and he said, MJ no noise. Damn that was hard as he must have
pounded me for 10 minutes until he shot deep in my ass. He joined me in
bed and we were making out and he said, sorry I jacked off while you were
on the phone, I just wanted in your ass for a long time. I kissed him and
said dude, get dressed I need to talk with dad. Oh, no run tomorrow as
I'm hitting balls at the club, he said that's cool, I'll join you. I
said fine but it's rule 1. He laughed and said good night.


Downstairs, dad was doing the usual, drinking, smoking and reading. I
just shook my head and sat down. I thanked him for the message and lesson
today and told him I had a date Friday night. He smiled and asked, male
or female? I said gender neutral with tits and he laughed. Then I said,
well she is sharp and an athlete and trust me this is a high school thing
and it is mini golf and Eat n Park, nothing more. He said well we will
see how long that lasts. He said, Mike this board is different and some
of them will push back, just explain things and stay calm, I'll deal
with the drama, just stay above the fray. I told him about golf and I
would be leaving for Latrobe at noon. He laughed and said, don't forget
about your clubs. I said goodnight and went upstairs, took a shower and
jumped into bed after setting the alarm.


I woke well before the alarm and dressed in crappy clothes and put coffee
on and started to scramble some eggs. I finished the eggs and handed them
to Cole, who was making toast and started a new batch of eggs for me. It
was a quick breakfast and off to the club and I grabbed my clubs and was
off to the range. I started with a wedge and quickly progress through the
irons and finally a few 3 woods and then the driver. It was going well
and I was also watching Cole, and that amazed me. Oh he was just fucking
around, hitting all kinds of shots. Then he said watch this and hit it
dead straight and on one bounce he hit the 300 yard marker, I just shook
my head and we loaded my clubs in the car and drove home. There was more
coffee and I was reading the paper and finally went upstairs and jumped
into the shower. Cole, joined me and asked for a ride to Oakmont and I
said sure. I towel dried my hair and made a note to return to the messy
look. I dressed in long black golf pants and a grey and red Oakmont golf
shirt. I rummaged around and found a gray golf hat. Downstairs I found
Cole and dad talking and since there was no hurry I had another cup of
coffee and sat in the game room. It didn't take long and a clearly
pleased Cole said Mike, thanks for waiting, we can talk on the way. I
asked, so Cole where are your clubs? He said they were taken there
yesterday after the practice session.


On the drive Cole said MJ, you have the coolest dad in the world. I
laughed and said, I know. MJ he know about Michel being here later
tonight and he is good with it if I promised condoms. I said, well I told
him I had a date next Friday and he actually asked if it was a male or
female. I told him a gender neutral person with tits. Cole just laughed
and said MJ, she might me a lot of things but gender neutral isn't one,
in fact sexy fox is a better description. I asked what clubs was he
getting and he said custom Callaways. I said Cole, I'm betting the first
set is free? He said yup but the second set isn't and he laughed. We
pulled into the club parking lot and as Cole was headed to the Pro Shop,
I yelled Dude, get some special Oakmont Clothes.He kept walking and I got
a thump-up sign. Inside the club house, I went to Clark's office and we
reviewed the plans for the day and the menu. I thanked him and went to
the car retrieved my putter and a few balls and went to the putting green
to kill time. The Pro came up and I said, damn I didn't think these
could get faster. He laughed and said we have an outing on Sunday and
last year they were a pain in the ass so the course is very, very hard
and as fast as possible, it will be faster tomorrow. I said, I guess I
should be glad I'm at Latrobe. He laughed and said well they will almost
be this fast as AP likes them that way. He went about his day and I
putted until I saw people starting to arrive for the meeting. I put the
club in the car and went inside. There was coffee, water and juice as
well as pastries. I was talking and chatting with everyone as I knew most
and it was a good time. Dad, Tim and Brian came in and dad mingled some
and then said, let's get started we have a big agenda and Mike, has a
tight schedule.


The meeting started with the financials and the fact the we had a
positive balance of just under 100k. There were a few questions and the
next topic moved to Mason's compensation package and as he was there he
was asked out of the room. There were lots of questions and dad finally
said, look this kid is a money machine and alone will double our income
next quarter, it is recommended by Mike and Tim can I please have a
motion to approve the package and the non compete. I laughed when Dillon
made the motion and coach Weston seconded it and it passed with 3 no
votes. It went on like that for an hour and finally there was an item
that I was unaware of and it was a comp. package for me. I was asked to
leave the room. I thought good and went and sat outside. It took 3
minutes and Tim came out and said, you are good please come in. I found
that I was being paid 75k and benefits starting at 18 and a retirement
package. I thought holy shit now I am not a spoiled rick kid but a dude
who better perform. Shit, money and pressure. There were a few more items
and there was a knock on the doo and we were told lunch was ready. Dad
finished up and we all went to the buffet which was ham, roast beef,
pasta, cold cuts and a salad as well as pie and chocolate cake. I grabbed
a sandwich, thanked the team and went to the car and drove the 50 minutes
to Latrobe. The bag was unloaded at the drop and when I was asked who I
was playing with and I answered Mr. Palmer. The kid laughed and said,
seriously. I said AP and talk to the Pro, I'm Mike Simmons and I don't
have time for this. I parked the car and found Jimmy, locker room
attendant, introduced my self and was given a locker. He asked if I
needed anything and I said if you can get me a club sandwich and an
Arnold Palmer. He said, well it will be here when you get back from the
range. AP and his other  guests are already down there. I said thanks and
headed for the range. I shook hands with Mr. Palmer and was introduced to
the others. I hit a few ball and said, I had meetings all morning and
food is waiting at the Pro Shop, I'm ready when you are. As I was
leaving I heard the Dicks guy say, typical 17 year old hotshot.


True to his word, Jimmy had the sandwich and drink and I was sitting in
the cart eating. Just as I finished, my bag was switched to Mr. Palmers
cart and it was to the first tee. We were playing the tips and tees were
thrown to set the honors. Thankfully I was third and AP was last. The
Giant Eagle guy Sam hit driver and so did Bob from Dicks. Both shots were
shorter but on the fairway. I took out a 3 wood and smacked it just short
of the road down the middle. I don't know what AP hit but it was right
beside my ball. I hit a wedge and it was 20, feet or so passed the pin
and spun back to 5 feet below the pin. I made the putt and there were a
double, a bogie and a par to go along with my bird. The second hole a 110
yard par 3 down hill. Trouble all around the green. I hit a sand wedge
left in the bunker. Everyone else was on the green. I hit the sand shot
to two feet and there were 4 pars. The next hole is a short three shot
par 5 with a 90 degree dogleg and a pond. I hit 4 iron and then hit a 3
wood that I thought was on the green but it was 3 feet short and rolled
40 yards down the hill. It was a wedge and a 4 foot putt and 2 under. At
the next tee I was asked what my handicap was and I said where south
hills or Oakmont? They just looked at me and someone said you dad is a
member at both? AP laughed and said gentlemen let me introduce you to the
wealthiest teenager in Western PA. He currently is the highest rated high
school linebacker in the country and is a VT recruit. He has one building
under construction and another one ready to start. Both buildings are
rented and he has a great relationship with the trade unions. He is
chairman of the board of MJS Technologies and President of MJS
Enterprises. He was rushed getting here today as he had an Enterprises
BOD meeting at Oakmont. Oh and I bet he played last 10 days ago and hit
balls yesterday or this morning. Mike your up. I looked at the card and
the markers and it was about 189. I took out a five iron and hit it about
15 feet left of the pin. It was an easy par. The next hole was a short
par 4 and another iron off the tee and a 9 iron to a multi tiered green.
I was on the wrong level but it was a 2 putt par. On the next tee AP said
well now you actually have to hit the ball and it was a tight short par
5. I hit a good drive and was told to keep it short as it will roll and I
hit a 3 iron and it took one hop and stopped on the back edge and 2 putts
for a bird and I was now 3 under. It was a par, bogie and a par to finish
the front nine 2 under.


On the tee we were each asked to pick a ball out of a hat and there were
two even numbered balls and two odd numbered balls and evens and odds
rode together and I laughed when I drew Rob, I was thinking how I could
get back at him. I decided to be nice and see where this was going. 10
was a 210 par 3 with water left and sand right. I took out a 4 iron and
put it long into the trees, but playable. AP laughed and said, you are
away from me for one shot and look what happened, I laughed and said yup
a shitty par and everyone laughed. On the ride to the green Rob said,
I'll bet 100 you don't make a par. I said bet and had not even looked
at the shot. It was a very tight lie and I knew I could spin that so I
took a sand wedge and pinched down on it and it hit just short of the pin
and took one hop and stopped. It was an easy 2 foot par. Rob reached in
his wallet and handed me a fist full of twenties, I said thanks I'll
make a donation in your name to my foundation. He said, you have a
foundation? I said yes but a very long story and can we please talk about
it after golf. He looked at me and said sure.


At the stand, I got a hot dog and an Arnold Palmer and the round went on.
Rod was getting more friendly and after 4 holes we switched carts again
and I was with Sam. He was instantly friendly and it was a great riding
partner. We finished the round and I was 2 under and we all, shook hands
on the 18th green.


We went to the mixed grill and I saw Jimmy and gave him a $50 tip for
getting lunch for me. He just looked at me and I simply smiled and said
thanks. We sat down and I  ordered an Arnold Palmer and we started to
chat about the round and then Rob said Mike, you won a bet on 10 and said
you would put the winnings in my name in your foundation. I said well
it's a long story and AP said well I have all night. So I told them
about the police stops and the blood tests and the settlement and that
the Foundation funds scholarships for caddies at two clubs and the local
library and fire and police. Then there is money for startups and they
will be housed in the building that will start this summer. AP said Mike
would it be possible to add Latrobe to the caddie thing? I said well I
funded the first part and asked the members to match an additional grant,
I was making. So I'll add Latrobe and put in 50k if the members match
the 50k. All of a sudden there was 150k added to the Foundation for
startups and AP guaranteed the money for the caddies at Latrobe. I said
Mr. Palmer, members please. Oh and have Doc call Tim to work out the
details. Then I said, if you guys are ever looking for retail or
corporate space let me know. We ordered food and continued talking. After
we were finished eating, I handed everyone a business card and said, I
have a great young team and please check out Enterprises. I handed AP a
card and said, please have Doc call Tim, you already have all my info. We
shook hands I had the clubs thrown in the back seat and started home. It
was Rte 30 to 119 to I 70 and Rte 51.


It was an uneventful ride home until it wasn't. I was stopped at a light
in front of Eat n Park waiting to make a turn and the guy behind me just
didn't. My head hit the steering wheel but was otherwise unhurt. I got
out and the driver also got out and suddenly I heard sirens and we were
right beside the EMT place. I looked at my car and thought well that's
toast, even my clubs were useless. The police arrived and I assured them
I was ok and they insisted a trip to the hospital to be checked over.
They collected the necessary information and I was checked over by the
paramedics and was told that I didn't need to go to the hospital. A tow
truck arrived and I had the car taken to the dealership and the, police
drove me home. Dad saw the police pull up and ran to the door and came
out and asked, so Mike what did you do now? The officer laughed and said,
he was just sitting in what used to be a smoking hot car. Explanations
were given and I went inside and grabbed an iced tea.


Dad came in and said Mike, Dr. Jenkins is on his way as I want you
checked over. I said dad, I'm good but he can check me over after he
checks you over. You haven't been looked at in a long time. Dad said
Mike, he will check you out and I'll make an appointment while he is
here as Megan is bitching at me as well. I said, that's a deal and took
my drink and went outside, thinking he is going to be pissed. About a
half hour later Dr. Jenkins came out and asked if we could go upstairs
and I said sure. In my room he had me sit in one of the chairs. He
checked my eyes and my reflexes and the lump on my head, asked me a lot
of questions and said, you are good and will be sore tomorrow, if you
need anything take Tylenol. Then I said, dad needs that blood work, I
don't think there is an issue but put him through the ringer. Doctor
Jenkins laughed and said count on it.


Downstairs Dr. Jenkins was in with dad and I went outside and started to
think about a new ride. I was just starting to like the convertible
aspect and wanted a more classy ride. I thought, I'll just have dad get
me a new version of what I have, just so it was a convertible and not
white. I found dad and he was furious as Dr. Jenkins took multiple tubes
of blood. I won't have to go to the office but Mike you can be a pain.
Dad, relax it's for your own good. Well my blood pressure is good. Dad
that's great. I guess you know I'm good? He said yes Dr. Jenkins said
you were lucky. Then he said, now that you make 75k a year buy a car, I
hate shopping for cars. I thought shit I need to get that done. I went
upstairs and called JJ he answered and I asked if he wanted to look at
cars tomorrow as mine is a mess. He listened and said damn, are you ok? I
said yes, dad called the doctor and he came over and checked me out. JJ
I'm looking at another Mustang or possibly a BMW, Mercedes or an Audi.
Mike, we just looking in the lots as they are not open. I said, I know
and that works. I'll pick it you up at noon. How was golf? That damn
course was fast and hard as a rock. MJ I shot 89 and it was a damn good
score. I said, I'll see you tomorrow.


Then I thought about Cole and Michel and I asked dad and he said, dude I
bet they are in his room totally unaware. He had a great day and was
impressive on the course, Mike, I'll drive them home. I laughed and said
that would be way too weird. I'm good and I'll do it. Dad thanks for
agreeing to the blood work. As soon as you said Dr. Jenkins was coming I
called him and set it up. It was just time. Mike, you being right
doesn't make the waiting any easier. Dad you will have the results
tomorrow. Mike how the fuck will that happen? Dad I just spent some of my
75k salary to use a private lab. Cole came down with Michel and just
looked. He asked, why is everyone home? I simply asked dad for the car
keys and said, are you guys ready? They just looked and went to the car
and I drove them to her house and waited in the car while they kissed
good night. On the way home I explained things. At home I jumped into bed
and fell asleep.
