Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2020 15:06:24 +0000 (UTC) From: Mike Simmons Subject: It was always about the bets 192 I was up super early and started coffee and was reading the paper until Cole came down and it was off on the usual run with Ray and JJ. As JJ pealed off I asked him if he want to take a plane ride? He laughed and said, dad said to expect that. JJ, nothing long and you will be amazed at how relaxing it is. He said ok and I said be ready, I'll pick you up at 4:00. With that I went inside and showered, shaved and dressed in more casual close than dad liked, filled my coffee travel mug and left for the office. I noticed a lot of cars in the lot and wondered what I was going to be hit with as it was a bit early. I managed to beat Ruth in and was wondering how that happened when she said good morning MJ and laughed. I was handed a coffee and went in my office. I wasn't sure I like everyone calling me MJ but thanks to the Admiral, that ship had sailed. I fired up the computer and the first thing I did was open my calendar. I simply shook my head as my day was booked. There was the usual meeting with Riley. Then a 3 hour team meeting and I noticed the ring master had included Wayne, so I knew the was what I was hoping for, a serious meeting about NASA. I thankfully was free from 3:30 on and I think that was the Major, knowing about my desire to fly. Just then my desk phone rang and dad was on the phone. I said good morning, what's up at the crack of dawn? He laughed and said that he would not be at the meetings today and that the projected financials on the new NASA project should be on their way. I sad dad, please no more, well at least until we get this one sorted out. He laughed and said you should consider building another building. I screamed, WHAT? Dad replied with, have a good day and I'll see you tonight and he simply hung up. Before I could digest all that Riley appeared and we started on the up date. That took half the time as usual as she felt I was on top of the important things. I gently reminded that I sweat the small stuff, saying I can see the forest as the trees are not in the way. I asked about the wedding plans and she said well they are going fine, I just need to focus Jack. He seems to think all he has to do is put a tux on and said I DO. Besides, it didn't help that Kyle dumped a bunch of stuff on him and now this Robotics project. I laughed and said well it will settle down once we get into the new building. Once she left I called Dr. Drennan's office and made an appointment saying I was fine just need a talk. The appointment was set for tomorrow's at noon, so lunch worked for me and didn't disrupt the day too much. I added 90 minutes to my calendar tagging it LUNCH. Just then Ruth appeared, handed me an envelope and said there is a boat load of people in the conference room wanting you presence. I laughed and said, I need to look at these papers and I'll be right there. I looked at the projections and the numbers looked good but not as good as the previous NASA deal. I called the conference and asked for Jordan to please come to my office. When he appeared, I handed him the papers and said, please digest these and come back to the meeting and brief us. I said, make yourself comfortable and I grabbed a pad and pen and went to join the others. The others were Kyle, Dillon, Riley, the two Majors, Tim, Wayne and Jordan. I started by saying dad would not be in attendance and that I was told I might want to build another building. No one laughed, especially Kyle. I asked, so what's first on the agenda and Kyle said a place to house these people. I looked at Wayne and asked if he had any ideas. He said well actually there are a lot of options and there is a lot of space available all over the city and most at very reasonable rates. There is something I need to say and I'm not sure Mike will like it. I said Wayne in this room with these people speak your mind. He said Mike you simply have to stop fighting with the Mayor. You have such a good reputation around the area and yet you find it somehow necessary to piss him off. The team is this saying; never fight with a pig as the only outcome is that you both get dirty and the pig is happy. I laughed so hard it took a while to compose myself. So Wayne you calling the Mayor a pig? He said nope but trust me you will get dirty, please work it out. I said sure but that's most of my fun. Wayne shook his head and said just call him. I said ok, as soon as I have a minute today. Then he said, the only option is to find an existing space or to throw up a metal piece of shit and tear it down at some point. He said there is a parcel of land near you building that is small and cheap. A quick concrete pad and a metal building. However that has to happen like now. The other option is a rental space in the strip, it needs some work as it is an old warehouse, however the atmosphere would be appropriate for the project. The last option is to see if CMU has some space, but I'm not getting any returned calls. I stood up and said, I'll be right back. As I was leaving Jordan came in and said, all good. I asked him to brief everyone and went to my force and called the Dean at CMU, I explained the situation and asked if he could please have his facilities people call Wayne Hillgrove. He said Mike, if I get more work like you just sent me, I'll be cleaning out my office and you will be moving in. I laughed and said, I have another favor. Would you pleased be on my new Board of Directors? He said sure and I said my legal department be in contact and thanks. Back inside, I let Jordan finish. When he completed his briefing, I said Wayne, in a couple of minutes you will get a call please answerer it, it will be CMU. Everyone in the room laughed. Wayne, didn't let up saying I bet you don't get type of response from City Hall. I said ok Wayne we can talk about that more later. Then I said so the options are a CMU space if available and a warehouse in the Strip District, correct? Everyone agreed and I asked Wayne to quickly start the process. Then I moved to job assignments and changes. I looked a Jack and said you need to run the GE thing, hire an assistant or rather promote someone to that position. You also need to assist with Kyle's needs and hire and staff the Robotics division. Jack, your new title is Executive Vice President. Wayne and I will work on the location. Jordan, please set a budget for all this and make sure we make money. Then I said ok let's talk about the damn Mayor. I see him as a bully, therefore I treat him as one. I get my way because he needs me and I know the minute he doesn't we will both be dirty and the projects will be more difficult. However, once things turn around, second quarter next year he will need me more as we will be poised to be a major player. So in a few minutes when I call him, he will want something and I will find something we need and simply trade. He will run for governor and not win, I would like him where he is and I definitely will have a small part in all that. Any questions? Wayne said, Mike I get that but my guess is that that it will get ugly and no one will win. Wayne, I understand all that but please continue to push me on that relationship, I get what you are saying. That goes for all of you, keep me on my toes. By the way I never mind getting down and dirty. As we were leaving the conference room, I asked Jack to walk with me. We went outside and he said, so what's up? I said dude, it takes more than saying I DO for the groom at a wedding. Cut Riley a break and provide some thoughts. Mike Jace, is done at the Academy and his knee was bad and he is my best man but will you be in the wedding? I said absolutely and I'm thrilled. Then I asked so what about Jace? Jack shook his head and said well he is moving back home as he has no choice and he is thinking about pre-law at Pitt. Mike, he will call you with a favor, soon. I asked any clues? Jack said, well I'll simply tell you. He would like to borrow your single engine plane and get the necessary hours in. Naturally he has the course work done and know his shit. He has a memory like yours, he forgets nothing. I laughed and asked, so is that good or bad? Jack replied, yes and we went back inside. I asked if he was still interested in Cole and Jack replied, well if Cole wants what you and I want, then yes. Mike, now that you are now your own flying promise me no shortcuts. I looked at him and said, absolutely. Back in the office, I called the Mayor and was told he was unavailable and would call when he was free. I thought unavailable but not busy, just not taking my calls. I laughed thinking, I like phone tag. I was about to get an iced tea when Wayne appeared and said let's go, I'm still trying to figure who the hell you are. I said where we going and why is that? He said CMU and they told NASA they had no space for the project and I couldn't get a return call and you make one fucking call and they have space, which they are describing as perfect for the project. Well Wayne they want my name on a CMU diploma. He laughed and said see what I mean, that's ass backwards. He said, well let's go, you can buy me lunch. We went outside and I said I'm driving and promptly put the roof down. He looked at the car and said, fuck finally something that makes sense, this is perfect. I laughed and said it was a birthday gift from Mom and dad when I turned 16. The first one was rear ended and dad picked this one as a replacement, with the insurance money. At CMU parking was a bitch and it was a long walk to the facilities department and another walk to the proposed site. Back in a day CMU had purchased a number of building from the bureau of mines and this was the first floor of one of those buildings. The space was clean and totally empty and would house exactly what we needed. I looked at the CMU person and simply asked, WHY? Well we wanted the project but didn't want to deal with the GSA and the red tape. The Dean said he was sure you would ask and if not he would contact you. Mike, the guy raves about you and laments that you got away. He is determined to have you as an alumnus. I laughed and said, well we are both working on that. We spent an hour working on terms and a 4 year lease with an option for 1 additional year. I asked that the final draft would be sent to Wayne as soon as possible. With that finished, we walked a few blocks and found a restaurant between the CMU and Pitt campuses. I ordered a Chicken salad with house dressing and Wayne ordered the special, some fish thing. At one point he asked, are things always this easy for you? I said, there were many hours that went into all this, but the short answer is YES. Oh, I offered the Dean a Board position and Wayne simply laughed out loud. It was a productive and positive meeting/lunch. Back at the office I went to Kyles office and said thanks, we are all set at CUM. He laughed and said well between the two of us they didn't have a chance. Then he asked, so the Dean is on the Board? I said yup and this deal aside, I was asking him anyway. It was a big win today. Back at my office I was closing things up and Ruth came in and asked if I knew where dad was today? I had to admit no idea but that he told me he wasn't in today and that we will talk tonight. She shook her head and went back to work. I was wondering what the fuck was going on now when my phone rang and I did not know the number, I answered with good afternoon this is Mike, the reply was good afternoon this is Jace McBaine. I laughed and said, I hear you are not doing so well? He said rehab is a bitch but I can't get out of here till I'm recovered, a real pain in the ass. Then he asked about the golfer and I said, no idea all he does is golf and all I do is work. He laughed and said, I'm sure Jack has talked with you about the plane. I'll never get to do what Jack did but I want to fly, can I use your plane for lessons? I said sure, when you coming home? He said the week after the 4th. I said ok, how about I fly down and get you? He said perfect and he was hoping for some time to talk with me without Ace being around. He said besides living at home will be a bitch. I said ok, keep me in the loop but have to go. I might have an idea for housing but might is the operative word. He laughed and said, I'll call in a few days. I said anytime and I hope the recovery is fast. I buttoned down the office, said good night to Ruth and drove home. Now I was worried about both dad and Ruth. Well Ruth would be tomorrow and dad tonight. Thinking about dad he was 43, but an old 43, both physically and mentally. He never worked out or even exercised. He drinks and smoked way too much and could eat better. Megan has been a help with the lifestyle. I was unaware of any medical appointments or issues and he was engaged on the trip but letting more and more to me. I'm guessing that's the plan. I shook my head and thought it will be what it becomes. At home I changed into jeans and a tee and went for JJ. JJ was ready and we drove straight to the airport and I asked, how he was feeling about the trip. He said worried but knowing you, it's fine. I explained the procedure at the airport and mad him accompany me on the pre-check. Once inside I said strap in and put the head phones on. I showed him how to talk with me and asked that on the rare times when I'm on with ATC don't interrupt. The takeoff was smooth and once we were cruising along, he asked where we were going? I said East till we are out of the was then NNW and once we saw the Allegheny river, I was just going to follow that and see the sites. So MJ you can just go wherever you want? I said pretty much but certain air space requires permission and I need to be cleared by ATC, that won't happen this trip. I said just sit back and enjoy the sites. We were chatting about a lot of things and he asked about Beth. I said well since Carrie, I have dated 3 girls and each one broke up with me because, they wanted more sex than me. JJ laughed and asked, so when you and Carrie hooking up again? I looked at him and said. Week ago I would have said not happening. MJ and now? JJ I have no fucking idea. I saw her last week at a work thing and she has moved back into my head and I can't get her out. We eventually found the river and just followed it for 30 minutes or so and I made a long slow turn and we headed back. I told him about Jace and what was involved there and wasn't sure if I could or should help. JJ laughed and asked if he still had a thing for Cole? I said, most likely but I have no real idea. As we approached the airport, I checked ATIS and there was a crosswind but not real bad. Then I contacted ATC and was cleared for landing. I was shocked that there was no "go around" order and the landing was a little difficult but I put it down right on the center line and no hop. Once we were back at the service line, I updated my log and drove JJ home. Dad and Megan were on the deck and I stuck my head out and asked so what's for dinner. Megan said, I ordered. Please find Cole grab a drink and join us. I asked if they needed refills and the both said no and I thought it was strange that she was drinking iced tea and dad a scotch. I went upstairs looking for Cole and he was reading in his room. I said, dude the rents want us to grab a drink and join them. He said, I know somethings up, I'm hoping they are going on a trip. All of a sudden it hit me and I said Cole, I'll bet you a blow job your mom is pregnant. He immediately fell to the floor laughing. I said well I'm drinking scotch and he said I'll have the same. MJ, I haven't shot a load in two days, I hope your hungry. I laughed and said, let's get this over with. We pored our drinks and went outside and dad said guys have a seat. I sat down looked at Megan and asked, so when is the baby due. Dad said, well I'll be damned and Megan asked, how? I said you didn't want your iced tea refilled. Oh, just so you know, I have never wanted a sister. Just then the doorbell rang and I said, well I'll be inside cooking and you two can revive Cole. I started to unpack the food and was thrilled that it was Italian and not ribs. Dad came in and I asked so if it's a girl will you name her Noel and a boy, will it be named Chris. Dad gave me a big hug and I said congrats, I hope. He said yes, congrats as you and Cole are leaving soon and we wanted one of our own. I laughed and said, dad I'm good and actually thrilled it isn't a work project. I went outside and saw Cole and Megan hugging and I let that go and sent dad to tell them I was done cooking. Dinner was fun and Cole seemed pleased well not upset. Cole and dad cleaned up and Megan and I chatted. When dad appeared, I asked dad for a few minutes in his office, saying it won't take long as it is work shit. I said the NASA thing will be at CMU and we are all set but what's with Ruth. She asked for a raise and HR said she was already the highest paid secretary. I said well, how about I change her title to Administrative Assistant and see what HR says to that? Dad laughed and said, well if that fails you can pay her some through Enterprises. I laughed and said well Maggie and I have not had a fight in days. In fact, I'll go to my room and send a company email announcing the promotion. Oh, I'm thinking $200 a month. Dad said, I don't care just so she doesn't leave, I said agreed and went looking for Cole. I found him in his room laying on his bed. I asked if he was ok and he said, absolutely as I won't be the center of their attention. Like you I want another brother. I laughed and said, my room 15 minutes, he smiled and said, sure. In my room, I sent the company email announcing Ruth's new position and a separate email to HR about the compensation change. I was laughing as I hit send as she would reply with a resignation. Just as I finished Cole came in closed and locked the door and I stood up and gave him a hug and he immediately undid my belt and pulled down my jeans. Then he said sit down and he removed the jeans and threw them on the bed. I got up grabbed him and said asshole, I'm in charge here and you lost an easy bet. I took my jockey briefs off sat down and said on your knees and take your time start with my balls. I want this to take a while. I said dude, I need a cigarette they are in the night stand, crawl over and get me a pack and the lighter. I lit a cigarette and said oh, open the window. Once that was done I said my junk needs a tongue bath, get to work. He grabbed my balls and started to lick that area between my hole and my ball and I was in heaven. Then he was licking all around my balls and and was cleaning my cock hair and I was in heaven. He looked up and asked, don't you ever trim? I pushed his head down and said back to work and he was licking my balls and then swallowed one and was sucking it. He switched to the other one and then opened his mouth and took both. I was fucking hard as a rock and leaking all over the place and he downed my 7+ inches in one gulp. He looked up at me with my cock in his mouth and managed a smile and slowly pulled off and at the same time he shoved two fingers in my ass and swallowed my cock balls deep and I held his head there and unloaded and he was gagging and trying to swallow at the same time. I took another drag on the cigarette and said thanks and stood up and got dressed. He said, ok MJ how did you know? I said it was the iced tea and not wine. He lit a cigarette and we just sat there and chatted. Wondering how thing would change with what looked like one hell of a Christmas gift. We talked about golf and I told him about Liam and dinner tomorrow. He said thanks as it was important to Liam and the family. Cole went back to his room and I was wondering when his fucking head was going to explode. The other possibility was that with all the golf and that pressure he has grown up. However, there hasn't been much said about the girlfriend. I was thinking it was a damn good thing I had a head doctors appointment tomorrow. I looked around my room and the choices were read Noble House or CMU math and decided on math. When I looked over the assignment I thought shit, I had to start to learn a computer language and was hoping that it went better than Spanish. It was something called Python. I started with the intro material and it wasn't too bad. I was hoping that since it had a practical use, it would be easier for me. It was just introduced a couple of months ago. I simply jumped in and found it hard. I would need some help and would check with Kyle. Being stumped for one of the few times ever really bothered me. I simply tried to put it out of my mind and turned to the book. Sadly I finished it in about an hour. With nothing else left to do I went downstairs and grabbed a scotch and sat on the deck, in my chair. That didn't even help and I was thinking about going to a real sand dune. The Python thing was bothering me a lot. I downed the fucking drink and went to my room and started on the language. I read the first chapter three times and things were starting to fall into place. Then I started on the second chapter and read the first page and simply stopped. I realized that one thing built upon another and while a language, is wasn't. It was logically built and once I figured out the logistics, I was golden. Having had enough, I went and found dad and said good night and that if it wasn't too much trouble, I would see him at work. He laughed and said good night. I had had a good day but shit the issues continued to pile up. Sleep was not easy as gremlins were running around in my head, Carrie, Jack, Ruth, Megan, Cole and now Jace were all running around lose. Add to that my sexual preference my guess is that I'm simply bi, leaning towards guys. If that was true, there would always be a part of me that wouldn't be satisfied. Could I live with that? I finally fell asleep simply exhausted.
