Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2020 19:42:13 +0000 (UTC) From: Mike Simmons Subject: It was always about the bets 165 It was a great Tuesday morning and my last quiet day of the week. Cole, JJ and I did the usual run and it was great as we were in JJ new ride and it was nice not to have to drive to school. Cole was already tens and the day flew by. JJ and I worked out and Cole was waiting at the truck. It was a quick ride home. At home I asked Cole, so what did you do while we worked out? MJ I aced an English test and now I'm down to three more. I said dude, you owe me a task so get naked and stand in the middle of my room. He looked at me and I said, NOW ASSHOLE. He shrugged and went upstairs. I sat in the kitchen drinking tea and let him up there for 10 minutes or so. When I got there he jumped out of a chair and asked, where the fuck have you been? I didn't say a word and went to the closet and pulled one of the many old ties and gaged him. Cole, until your stupidity this was going to be a somewhat simple BJ. Now not so much. I just let him stand there and sat on the bed and started to undress, yup I was hard as a rock. I moved him towards my bed and said knees. He immediately knelt down and I push him so his head and chest was on the bed. I went to the closet and grabbed three belts and folded them in half and swung as hard as I could at his ass. He yelled and I hit him again and after the 5th one he was sobbing. Figuring that was enough, I grabbed some lube and greased his ass, put a condom on and got on my knees and drove my hard cock balls deep. I did that for a while and when I was close I stopped pulled him to his feet, removed the tie and laid on my bed. He looked at me and I said well jump on and fuck yourself. He climbed on and sat on my covered cock and then he pulled off and pulled the condom off and sat on my cock again, I slapped his face and screamed, WHO THE FUCK TOLD YOU TO DO THAT? He smiled and started to ride. As I got close I pulled him forward and started to kiss him and he reached for a nipple and pinched one hard and I filled his ass with my load. As I didn't like the way he took over I grabbed the belts and gave him 4 more swats and said, get dressed as dad will be home and it's dinner time. He went right into the shower and I decided to have the last word and went in and put him against the wall and said, the only reason you are not black and blue is that fucking tournament tomorrow. He smiled and kissed me then said. thanks, I needed that. I turned off the shower and we went to separate rooms. I heard dad and he yelled, guys I brought dinner and someone needs to cook. I thought, damn we will never eat but when I got downstairs there were 4 bags on the table. Apparently by cooking he meant unpackaged. The first bag was a large salad, naturally the second bag was ribs, but the third bag was chicken parmigiana and the fourth bag was bread sticks. I could have jumped for joy and as tempted as I was to just eat the ribs and see the reaction, I yelled, COLE DINNER IS READY. When he came down he was still tense and dad took one look at him and said, damn he is worse that you the day before a game. I laughed and said, I'm just glad he has a morning tee time. Then I sad so Cole are those 6 inches between your ears going to fuck this up tomorrow. He looked me right in the eye and said MJ, I fucking got this so Rule 7. Dad looked and me and I said shut up and eat. Then I added, well that's what I think it is or that could be rule 8, I'll have to check. That was added on Spring break. Cole actually laughed. When we were finished dad had enough sense to let us clean up and Cole and I went upstairs. I was looking over an email from Tim about the legal merger and was more than out of my league and I went downstairs and found dad. I asked if he thought it would be alright if I had an independent legal opinion on the legal merger? Mike do you trust these guys? I said absolutely but just like the Advantage Card thing, I need to know the details. Then he said Mike, by doing that you might be blowing this all up. I took a deep breath and said, remember how you trusted Adam and what happened there? I picked up my phone and called Brian and asked if he would explain in idiot terms this merger him and Tim were proposing. I told him he was on speaker and dad was also listening. He went on for a good 30 minutes with me asking questions and dad listening. When he finished, I said Brian thanks and now I get most of it, however the first sign of drama I'm out. There was silence and I said, do you remember how you got this gig? He laughed and said, I resent being compared to that jerk. I said Brian, nothing personal and I'm good, have a drink or two and relax. Michael, I hate being on that side of you but I understand. I said good night. I hung up and dad said, ok I'll have it reviewed and they won't know. I said thanks and went to my room to find Cole laying on my bed. I just looked at him and said, ok strip. He smiled and once his pants were off I bent down and started sucking his ball and when I moved to his cock he moaned and immediately shot a load. It was in my mouth and I was considering what to do and he said MJ just kiss me. We kissed until the load was gone. We laid there for a few minutes and I said dude, I actually have work to do. The work turned out to be Jan and she immediately asked if this was better that the bump in the hall. I laughed and said I was hoping we had grown out of that? She said, ouch. I laughed and said next time we bump into each other, I'm hoping we are naked or in the process of getting that way. She laughed and said, I'll be right over? I said, well not tonight and I have a busy weed and will not be in school tomorrow. Cole has a tournament and I'm watching. Then she said, I guess you are busy on Friday? I said yep and it might be a long night. I need to figure out what your brother needs. She laughed and said well when you do, make sure to tell him. I laughed and said I'll see you Thursday, thanks for the call and I hung up. I was thinking I need a piece of that ass. I had just put the phone down it rang and Tim said Mike, I heard you and your dad had a conversation with Brian about the legal merger? Tim, it was way beyond my ability to understand so I called Brian and he answered our questions. I told Brian I was good. He laughed and said Mike, I know you better than that and I know it will be reviewed. I just want you to know that, while there is no need for that, I respect that decision and so does Brian. We will be available to answer any questions that come up. Tim, I appreciate that but we will be spending many millions with you guys and I owe that to the board. Tim laughed and said, really? Tim, this Board meeting will be nasty and I don't want a fight over you two. Believe me you are both an important part of what I do. Please get that second building started, he said fine and hung up. I went downstairs and told dad about the conversation and he said, fuck it now I want it reviewed. I said thanks and good night. A quick check of my phone before I took a shower and there was a message from Sam. He was good to watch Cole. I called him back and he said MJ your ex did everything to have the rents say no to this. I said Sam, I'm sorry about that but it will be a fun day and I'll pick you up at 7:00 and we will do breakfast. He said that's great, I'll see you tomorrow. I took a shower, stopped in to see Cole and he was asleep, so I turned off the light and set my alarm so I was up early to make sure he was ready. I finally got in the shower and into bed. The alarm woke me as it was really early. This damn 9:00 tee time was a pain. I went downstairs and put coffee on and went and Cole was in the shower. I went into my room and found the hat I had bought Cole and put it on his bed and as dad was up everything was good. I was getting dressed and Cole came flying in and I got a big hug. It was an Oakmont hat and in small letters on the bottom in the back "all for one and one for all" you had to look hard to see it. When I told him, dad, sam, Jay and I all had one, he said damn a fan club. I was in shorts and an Oakmont shirt that matched the hat. Downstairs I wished Cole good luck, gave dad his hat and left to pick up Sam. Breakfast was fun and Sam was excited to be watching Cole. I said Sam, it a pro Am and the armatures, like Cole, are there for fun and hopefully to raise money. They get a pat on the back and possibly a shirt. For Cole this is a test of his nerves and how he would do under this pressure. There is a trophy for low armature. The Pros will play again tomorrow. Sam asked, so who are the pro's? I said, local guys from various clubs. There was no issue parking and we found Cole and Liam on the practice tee. I noticed he was hitting mid irons so I knew he had been there a while and he looked good and hitting it well. When he moved to the driver he hit the first one about 315 and people started watching. Cole and Liam moved to the putting green and it was about 8:40 so Sam and I went to the first tee and watched a group tee off. I looked closely at the putting green and realized that Cole was paired with the head professional at Latrobe. The other Pro was from the Field Club and the other armature was a guy dad's age. I saw Cole and the Latrobe guy chatting and thought well at least he seems comfortable. In looking at the score card the first hole was a straight away long par 4 followed by a short par 4 then a short par 5. I thought please hit two good shots. The group headed to the first tee and Cole was introduce from our high school. I was glad Cole was second and damn he did not disappoint as he went through his pre shot routine and one practice swing and laced it about 300 yards down the middle and it was straight as an arrow. Cole and Liam talked the entire way to his shot and this time he was closest to the pin and he had to wait on the others. I looked at Liam and he signaled a 6 iron. I thought shit that's about a 180 yard 6 iron and no wind. When it was his turn he had the same pre shot routine and that one practice swing and he nailed it. It took one bounce on the front and stopped 20 feet or so from the hole and it was a two putt par. The second hole was a 3 wood and a wedge and a one putt birdie. He hit the short par 5 with a driver and an iron and two putts later he was 2 under after 3 holes. He Birdied the other par 5 and three putted a long par 4, 8th hole and finished the front nine 2 under. At the turn people started to notice and he was not only low armature he was beating a lot of Pro's. Sam and I grabbed a hotdog and a drink and I saw dad and Jay. I went up to Jay and gave him a hat and he smiled and said thanks. Sam and I went on our way and when Cole birdied #10 with 2 putts a crowd was developing. It stayed that way through 15 and he had hit every par 5 in two and now it was two tough par 3's and a long par 4. Watching Cole it was a like a walk in the park, totally effortless. It was a birdie, bogie and a par and he finished with a 68. There was an applause when he made a 4 foot par putt on 18. Hats were removed and hands shook and the Latrobe guy said, that was so easy for you. Cole smiled and said well it was but I might just vomit any minute. Cole and Liam walked off arm and arm. A tournament guy came up to Cole and shook his hand and said, damn son that was some round. Cole thanked him and was told the bad news was he had to stay around for the awards ceremony but there was not another amateur under par. In fact son you are tied for the lead. That left Cole and Liam with a long wait and I'm sure they we're starving. Jay came up and shook Coles hand and reading his lips he said dad, I told you I'm for real. He got a hug from my dad and a hug from me. Cole grabbed his phone and made a call and I excused myself and went inside and found the manager. I introduced my self and asked if I could charge lunch for 6 to my South Hills account? He laughed and asked if my Oakmont account was over drawn? I laughed and said, well please pick an account. He said, no problem did we want to eat inside or outside? I said, well we are not dressed for inside. He said that's perfect. I thanked him and found everyone and told them lunch on the patio. We sat down ordered drinks and I felt sorry for Cole, it was one person after another and he was very humble and polite. The Oakmont Pro came over and I invited him to join us and when he hesitated, I got up pulled a chair over and motioned for the waiter and he ordered a beer. Things settled down and we ordered our sandwiches and Cole got up and made another call. I'm thinking 2 calls, mom and Michel. Our food came and thankfully the congratulations stopped while we ate. There were more drinks and finally it was determined that Cole was indeed the low armature and he was called to the putting green and was congratulated and given a gold plate. He mad a few comments saying all the right things and then a golf reporter from the PG got him for an interview? He was asked what he thought about being tied for the tournament lead. He laughed and said, one round doesn't make a tournament. Once that was over he went right to Liam and gave him a big hug and they but their arms around each other. I managed a picture thing about me and Jim. Cole went up to his dad, thanked him for being there and gave him a hug. He said that him and Liam were going to celebrate and that he would be home soon. He promised that it was just a ride and a talk with Liam. Dad invited everyone to our house and everyone but the Latrobe Pro said they were in. Cole actually grabbed his clubs and they want to Liam's car. Once again Cole was on the phone as they put the clubs in the trunk. I don't know why this all seemed strange and I was a little concerned. Sam and I got in the car, put the roof down and drove home. Dad and Jay were right behind us and I grabbed 2 beers and tossed one to Sam, who smiled and opened it, saying thanks. We sat talking about the round and damn there wasn't any bad shots but a putt here or one there. True to his word Cole and Liam showed up and Liam asked for an iced tea as he was driving and Cole wanted a beer. Again there was a phone call and he went outside. When he came back, I said what's with all the calls? He smiled and said all good and rule 6 till we get upstairs. I shook my head and joined the group. It was a fun time and I really wanted to talk with Liam. There was a long quiet conversation between Cole and Liam that ended with a hug. Liam said he had to get going and Cole was again on the phone and I walked Liam to the car. Once outside I asked about the round and he laughed and said well you saw all 18 holes and he laughed. I then asked Liam, how is he to work with? Mike, he overthinks a lot of things but he got with the program after we had a discussion on the first hole. Mike, he wanted to hit a 5 iron and I thought a 6 was a better option. I didn't want him doing anything but full shots. I simply refused to give him a 5 iron. The rest of the day I just kept saying hit the fucking thing and don't think. Hell it worked and he reads greens better than anyone I have seen. So Liam, what's with all the phone calls? He said Couples, his teaching Pro, his mom and 2 girlfriends, oh I think there was a call from AP. Oh, he tried twice to reach his mom. I said thanks but are you being paid enough? He said well more than I make at Oakmont. I took out my wallet and handed him 5 twenties, his eyes got big and he said, wow thanks. Back inside, I excused myself and went to my room and grabbed my headphones and jumped into bed. I was laying there just zoning out when Coal came in and laid beside me. He took my headphones off me and put them on the floor and asked, so MJ did you have fun today? Cole, it was a very pleasant walk in the park and you were fantastic. I was glad to see you and Liam work together so well. Well he forced me to do the right thing on the second shot of the match and that was a big deal, it set up the whole round. Cole, you two are a team. He just laid there relaxing and I said so Dude, who is the new chick? He looked at me and asked, how the fuck did you know about a second girl? I said a second girl, how the fuck will you manage that? Well I have a date Friday with one and Saturday with the other and will break it off with one of them. So how will you figure it out? He said, I'll date the one that gives the best blow jobs. I was quiet and finally asked, is the type of reputation you want? He's said, yep and got up and a few minutes later I heard him in the shower. I got up, stripped and joined him in the shower. I simply got on my knees and sucked him off. Once he unloaded in my mouth, I spit and said I bet I'm better than either of them. He smiled and said, damn I'll just date you. I dried off and put fresh clothes on and went back downstairs. Jay was just leaving and I said, do me a favor and go upstairs and tell your son what a fucking great job he did today and how proud you are of him. Dad looked and Jay and said, you know something, Mike is right. Once Jay was upstairs dad said Mike, we need to talk. We went into his office and dad said the legal issue is good with one change? I said ok, what's that? He said they need to give 90 days notice to terminate us and we need to give them the same notice to drop them, well pay them a severance of 90 days. That works for me but who is telling them? He just looked at me and I said, ok I get it, consider it done. Then I asked what he thought about Mason and Dillon? He said well they are no longer the dynamic duo as they have moved in different directions but remain very close. He said Mason is very street smart and Dillon is just fucking smart. Mike, they both contribute a lot and about the same amount, one is flashy and a bit of a pain and the other just makes it happen, Kyle is impressed with both of them. I said thanks and good nights. It was a quick chat with Jan and I fell asleep with my headphones on. It was the three of us for a run and it was good to be back to normal. Once home it was right into the shower and coffee. Once Cole was ready it was an uneventful ride to school. It was first period English and damn Carrie came up to me after class and asked so did you and Sam have a nice day? I said yes, but why do you care? Because you only care about him to piss me off. I laughed so hard and said the world does not revolve around you, get a grip. It was nasty looks all morning and I was glad to get to Spanish so she wouldn't be there. It was finally lunch and that went well as it was great to be free of the damn woman. There was one more class and I signed out and went to the gym and worked out. Once again coach was keeping an eye on the workout. It was a pleasant drive home and I was glad to be there alone. I grabbed a beer and went in my room and started to think about the dynamic duo. I stripped and looked in the mirror and was pleased in the improvement and I got on the scale and it read 209 and I was pleased with that. There was time so I called Brian and said that the legal agreement was fine with an inclusion. He simply replied what? I said, if you quit 90 days notice and if we fire you 90 days severance pay. He said he would talk with Tim and get back to us. I said, ok let us know. Now the tone and attitude pissed me off, but I had other shit to deal with. I dressed in long golf pants and a South Hills shirt and left for the club. When I got there I asked the manager for an outside table and if Jake could be our server. I was assured both were easily arranged. I was seated outside and Jake unasked brought a beer and I thanked him for the iced tea. One of the groupies came and sat down and asked if we were hiring? I feigned interest and ultimately referred him to the HR department. Just as that was finished Mason and Dillon appeared and were seated and Jake took drink orders. Both guys ordered beer. I started off by saying I was hoping to avoid detailed business discussions. I said that a general discussions and suggestions were welcome. Last week, dad and I got into a nasty discussion and I had to cancel and we both apologize for the inconvenience. Dillon immediately said, he understood and it is actually amazing that you get along so well with your dad. Mason just sat there drinking his beer. I asked a general question, so guys how are things going? Mason woke right up and said, fantastic business is good and we are growing well my division is growing. Dillon said Mike, we are keeping our head above water but barely and this Advantage Card thing is causing issues as we need an information technology guy to run that, for the most part we are programmers. However that's a little more detail that you indicated was appropriate for today. Guys when I hired both of you and at a similar meeting you both indicated you were close, mind if I ask if that is still the case? Mason said that is correct, we have been tight since Sophomore year in high school and remain so. Jake returned and we ordered another round of drinks an I switched to real iced tea. Once that was done and we were alone again I asked so with you two being so different how do you work together so well? Dillon said, well we are not that different and I almost fell out of my chair laughing. Mason said Mike, that's actually true we are very much alike as we enjoy the same things it is just our personalities. I said well and different career path, sales and computers? Dillon said well there is that sales side of Mase but he does turn that off. It's a little like you Mike, we all wonder which Mike will arrive at work, thankfully it isn't your spoiled rich kid act, well very often and even I laughed. We were casually chatting and Jake returned with the drinks and we all ordered, Dillon ordered a bacon burger and fries and Mason said that works for me as well and I ordered a chicken salad with house dressing. Once Jake left, I said guys your both work very hard and get a lot done and both make a lot of money for us and yourselves. Keep in mind that this is a young and diverse company and has presented you both with opportunities and very rapid advancements, things change can you deal with that? Mason immediately said, I like it right where I am and want to grow Standard Properties. I said ok, there are economic changes so before I agree to anything, I will need a business plan, there will be no shooting from the hip, hell only I do that. Mason looked a little sick and took a drink of his beer. Dillon said Mike, I thought I worked for Technologies? I smiled and said that's right, however I hired you and in a few months I'll control Technologies. Then he said Mike, I really like computers and have been concentrating on the hardware side. Hell we will be moving the entire company soon and Kyle and I have been working on a plan and once complete we will be talking to you and your dad about it. I said so you both want to stay put? Dillion said well I'll do anything but work for Mase, I see enough of him at home. I just looked and Mason said, well we just rented a 3 bedroom apartment in Mt. Washington. I said, I guess it has a view? They both laughed and at the same time said yep and I realized yet again how close they were. The food came and it was an enjoyable conversation. From the conversation I realized that it was a first class apartment and both guys were currently between girls. Dillion seemed to indicate that his work hours was a relationship issue. When he said that I simply said welcome to the club. We discussed a lot of things and while I was aware of the boss employee relationship, it was good to see these guys up close and personal. There was a final round of drinks and I continued with iced tea. Jake came over asked if there was anything else and when I said there wasn't he cleared off the table and returned with a check for me to sign. I stood up took out my wallet and handed him a 100 dollars and said Jake, buy the wife and your son something nice. I got a big smile and he said damn that's really nice of you. On the way to the car knowing that there would be no secrets, between the two of them, I said Mason, business plan sooner than later and Dillon I'll need a heads up on that plan and involve Riley. The way things are looking this move will start right in the middle of football season. We shook hands and they left and I stopped at the office and saw Mike the manager and asked if we could do the same thing tomorrow? He said sure but there will be more members around as it's a Friday. I said thanks and drove home needing to think about this meeting. At home Cole was in his room and I went in and said so Pro how are things? He laughed and said well I checked and if I could have shot one under today I would have won. I asked, so the two girls? MJ relax, Michel and I have decided to see other people and I was amazed how easy it was to do that. So Cole, you going through the chick of the month thing? He smiled and asked was that fun for you? I said, I don't know I haven't done that. I asked, so who is that new girl in your life? He said Wendy and I laughed and said are you aware of that song? He shook his head and said, no should I be? I said the one by the Associations, not The Beach Boys but you should listen to both and I left him staring at me. I went downstairs grabbed an iced tea and back in my room was thinking about the guys and who they were and what they might become. They were so different, yet so alike I was wondering what the attraction was, then I just started to laugh. Before I could finalize a real thought my phone rang and it was Tim. I answered with, hey Tim, what's up? He said Brian and I are good with the change but you and I need to talk. I said sure, when? He said well I'm parked in your fucking driveway. I said, well I'll be down in a few minutes, just come in, grab a beer and calm the fuck down and I hung up. I waited 5 minutes and went downstairs grabbed and iced tea and motioned to dad's office. I closed the door, sat beside Tim in a guest chair and said, WHAT? He looked at me and said, WHY? I said ok, first I was given a multi-page legal document that I did not understand and who dad didn't care about. When I asked Brian for a summary, I got watered down cliff notes and again dad didn't care. Finally, do you know or remember the circumstances on how you two got involved with us? I reached for dad's cigarettes, lit one and just looked at him waiting for a reply. As he just sat there looking at me, I said if there isn't anything else show yourself out and I got up and started out. He said Mike, please have a seat. As I was sitting down he opened his brief case and handed me a folder. In the folder was a legal document and I flipped through it and saw it was signed by both Brian and Tim and there was a space for my signature. In looking at the document, there was one bolded section which contained the language for the requested change. I looked at him and he said the bolded section at the end is the only change, however we both know you will want to verify that, so you have till 9:00 PM tomorrow to reply by signing the contract. I said and dad? He laughed and said, you just said twice that he didn't give a fuck and in fact, you control both Technologies and Enterprises so there is no need for him to sign anything. I stood up and went behind dads desk, picked up a pen, hesitated put the pen down and threw the document in the wastebasket and left him sitting there. At the door I turned and said please show yourself out. Back in my room, I called company security and once they confirmed who I was, I asked that the offices for the legal team be locked and that their security passes be suspended. He said, yes sir and hung up. Once Tim was gone, I grabbed a scotch and the cigarettes and went outside and sat staring at the evening sky, wondering what the fuck just happened. I was on my second scotch and third cigarette when dad came out and said, damn you had a bad day? I said well look in your wastebasket and then we can talk. About 10 minutes later dad came back with a drink pulled up a chair and sat down. He was quiet for a minute and said, so you were having my back? I said yes. Dad said Mike, they are right as you and Tim could easily vote your shares. I said and dad you and I can vote them as well. Mike, Tim and I could out vote you. I said dad, I know all that but you and I are a team. Mike, we definitely are and I really appreciate the support. So what do you think will happen when they show up for work tomorrow? I said, I don't give a fuck as they won't get into the building and if they do their doors are locked and the locks were changed. Dad by Monday we will have this resolved to OUR satisfaction or there will be a new legal team, I really don't give a fuck. No matter what, Tim is done with the Trust and I need you to select a replacement. Just then my phone rang and I looked to see who was calling and answered WHAT. I listened for a minute and replied, I SIMPLY DON'T GIVE A FUCK, and hung up. I laughed a minute later when dad's phone rand and he answered WHAT and listened is reply was a calm, what Mike just said and he hung up. I looked at him and asked, so we need a new legal team? He said, well I hope the 4 of us clam down over the weekend and act like businessmen. I said, I thought I just did that. He smiled and lit another cigarette and we just sat there. Upstairs I took a long shower and tried to settle down. I jumped into bed and that was useless, I but headphones on and classical music and that that didn't help. It was well after 3 when I finally fell asleep. The alarm woke me and I was determined to have a normal day and went for a run. Both JJ and Cole asked what the problem was and I simply said rule 6. I jumped in the shower dressed for the day and was drinking coffee, Cole appeared and I said, let go. As I was pulling into the parking lot my phone rang and it was a work number so I answered and it was security. I said, please talk with Human Resources and find out what we have to let them take out of their offices. I said one at a time and Tim goes last. Cole looked at me and I said, well I fired the legal team. The morning was normal classes and shit I was tired. At lunch I was called to the office and I was thanked for obeying the cell phone rules but that your dad needs to talk with you urgently. I said thanks and called dad. Dad asked that I sign out for work and come to the office ASAP. I signed out and headed to work. I remembered I have owed Ray a call for days and thought, well why you putting this off and I called him. He answered saying I'm getting the impression my visit is off. Ray, I'm sorry when I got your message there were a dozen other sand some resulted in people being fired, than I simply forgot, I'm sorry. Next time call back, so what's up? Well Mike, I getting soft on a military academy and some football schools are interested again and this time it's not because of you. I said well, it was never about me as people don't throw scholarships around. Who has contacted you? He said Temple, Syracuse and Pitt. I laughed and asked, so is that the reason for the longer visit this summer. He was quiet for a while and said, yes. We talk about other stuff and he said he has been talking with Ryan a lot and they are good. I said good night, we can talk soon and I hung up. Thanks for reading and comments are appreciated. Please remember to contribute to Nifty, if you can.
