Date: Sun, 22 Nov 2020 19:16:59 +0000 (UTC) From: Mike Simmons Subject: It was always about the bets 193 I woke to a windy wet and cold day and no one wanted to run, so I threw together some clothes and went to the gym and did a quick but intense workout. It was fantastic and if it wasn't for the guys, I think I would do this and ditch the run. It was a quick shower and I got to the office and a shit load of meetings. By 11:00 I was starving and found dad and told him about the doctor's appointment. He said Mike, I was actually going to suggest that as you have changed some and I was hoping you would try to figure that all out. On the way, I stopped at McDonalds and swallowed down a Big Mac in the parking lot. I got to the doctor's office right on theme and checked in and was reading a magazine wen Dr. Drennan appeared and simply started to chat. I was thinking this is a strange place for this, but the questions and the conversation was very casual. Finally after about 5 minutes he said ok, let's go to my office. We were sitting in guest chairs and he said Mike, that conversation in the waiting area was me checking on you level of stress. Usually it's much higher when you finally show up, so what's going on? I said well first of all I'm changing then there are the woman in my life, well not in my life, and sex. He laughed and said so teenage shit? For some reason, I found that funny and started to laugh. He looked at me and said, ok you start. Doc, I broke up with Carrie at the end of school and have tried to date three different girls and none of that went well and it was always about sex. They all wanted more than me. I felt like the fuck of the week. He got very serious and asked, so what about you various flavors? I said well it is still bet based and involves 3 people and always with condoms. Ok so three girls and three guys, that's actually a lot but I'm here to listen and ask questions, so which is more satisfying for you? I said both. He just sat there looking at me and I said well the guys are less complicated. With the girls it needs to be special and it seems like that they date me to see how long it will take to get me naked and then want more and more. He said, so you hold out for a special moment with them and then when your horned up you give in and simply fuck them, is that how it is? Your simply not into them, have sex and find a way to have them move on? It was my turn to be quiet and I finally said, yup I guess that nails it. So Mike, the real issue, well with the girls, is that you have not really broken up with Carrie. I'm guessing that there was some innocent event, most likely business and you had to interact with her. Is that correct? I swallowed hard, put my head down and said, that's correct. In a stern voice he said Mike, look at me. Then he said, you have let other people off the mat, why not Carrie? I said too loudly, because she fucking hurt me and wants too much and wants it all the time. He looked at me and asked, do you need a break? My reply was, no and don't let me up, keep going. I need to hear this as that bitch lives in my head 20 hours a day. So what happens during the other 4 hours? I said I sleep and don't dream about her. I leaned back in the chair, put my head back and said FUCK. We were both quiet for a minute or so and Dr. Drennan said Mike, how did she hurt you? I said with 6 words in the middle of a fight, I'LL SIMPLY FUCK YOU INTO SUBMISSION. So Mike, did she mean it? Doc, in the middle of a big fight or a tense negotiation the truth often slips out. Mike, as you have experienced with the other 3 girls, sex is sometimes used as a means to a goal. You need to understand that and move on. I bet your best sex with a girl was with Carrie, is that correct? I thought for a minute and said, YES. Well Mike, you have a choice, mentally end this or get over it. One way or the other if not you will never be happy. I laughed and said, well if we get back together, I'm not sure I'll ever be happy. It looks like I'm simply FUCKED. Mike, the real issue here is that she is every bit your equal and that's what you can't deal with. I can tell by your reaction to all this is that you care deeply for her. I'm not telling you what to do but you are in a tough spot and only you know what will make you happy. Understand, no girl will make you happy until you resolve Carrie one way or the other. Then he asked if I had had enough or wanted to move on? I took a deep breath and said so how am I changing and why? He laughed and said, look you have all these adult responsibilities and do them amazingly well, but you are almost 18 and about to be a high school senior. You are developing into what you will finally become and this is the early stages. You will go from king of the building this year and next year will be a college freshman and find out how emotionally immature you actually are. Actually, you are dealing with that remarkable well. Lots of people with your money would live a wild existence and never grow up. At this point I had had enough and said thanks, can we continue next week? He said Mike, that's a good idea. Enjoy the rest of the day. I was totally whipped out and knew Drennan was right. I would simply have to deal with her but on my terms and in a place where I was totally in charge. Back at the office, I had a long meeting with Kyle and Dillon and was told in no uncertain terms NO MORE BUSINESS. I laughed and said, well I think dad will be otherwise occupied for a while, but gave no details. Things were moving smoothly in the early stages of the upcoming move. The rest of the afternoon was spent on people for the new BOD. My door was open and all of a sudden Maggie was standing there with her hands on her hips. I laughed and said have a seat. She sat down and started right in. So I say no to something and you create a meaningless position and give her a raise. I said, I knew you would be pissed but this was dad's decision so go yell at him. She looked at me and said, I'm betting that's not true. I laughed and said, never bet with me. However, we both need her and now that I'm here she has more to do. Please, just deal with it. She stood up and said well, I'm guessing there is no choice? I said have a good day and turned back to the task at hand. After that scene, Ruth appeared and said Mike, you have no idea what the title and the raise means to me. I have never asked for much and while you are very easy to work with, you creat a lot of activity. I smiled and said you deserve both the title and the raise, but I need a favor. I am invited to dinner tonight, a family event and I want to bring a small something, any idea? She shook her head and said Sarris Candy. Ruth, I don't have the time to drive to Cannonsburg, what else? Mike, just go to a Hallmark store and it's sold there. I said, damn you are the best. I had forgot all about Sarris Candy the factory and a cool ice cream and candy store was about 30 minutes from town right off I79. If I ever get a reasonable girlfriend, that would be a cool time, away from things. I called Liam to confirm time for dinner and was told that his mom said dinner would be 5:30 and he said come whenever. I said that I was cleaning thing up things at work and would be there around 5:00. That seemed to please him and I was hoping for a drama free dinner. I left the office at 4:00 and started for Oakmont. I found a Hallmark store in Harmerville and as Ruth said they had the candy. The problem was what to get. I finally decided on a two pound box of mixed individual chocolates. I asked if they would wrap it and that was easily done. Form there is wasn't far to Liam's house and I found 8th street easily enough right off Hilton Road and found a very nice, older, upper middle class, two story house and a very well maintained yard. Parked on the street, grabbed the candy and rang the door bell. Immediately, Liam was there with a big smile and inside, it was a very nicely furnished living room. I was introduced to Lois and Jack. I handed Lois the gift and said, wow dinner smells good. We all sat in the living room and it looked like it was the 4 of us. Jack, immediately thanked me for everything I have and continued to do for Liam. I said well, I don't help people who don't deserve it. Also, it was the Oakmont people who gave him the scholarship, by design I had no input. I was waiting for the usual questions about business and money but Jack asked about football. That was a fun conversation as they had actually seen me play in the District Final. I told him that we had a new receiver and that Ray was back and would play tight end. I said that while I was hoping to just play defense, I thought that wishful thinking. I said that best case I would be better rested for the tournament. Lois said get the drinks refilled and that dinner was ready. It was a fantastic Irish dinner with Corned Beef, boiled potatoes, carrots and cabbage. I really enjoyed the food and the fun conversation. Jack and Lois were both teachers and were enjoying the summer off. I asked about Liams siblings and were told by Liam, they wanted no part of a formal sit down dinner. I laughed saying, I feel the same way, when at home, but this was fantastic. Once the table was cleared we all went back to the living room and were chatting. I told Liam that very soon, on a short trip, I would be flying home and Cole to a tournament. That on Saturday I passed all my tests and was issues a Private Pilot Certificate. I noticed Lois get a little pale and I said well two Air Force Majors, were my instructors so I get the safety and there will be a copilot. I said I met every standard and then some. Jack asked, so Mike how do you fit all this in? I said a very good young team and a wicked business mind and a good sense of trends. He laughed and said well you called this downturn before anyone even saw it. I simply shrugged and said, well I have another project in mind but it will be a year in the making. Just then Lois asked Liam for help with desert, and my radar went off. As soon as we were alone, Jack asked so why all the help for Liam? Jack, Liam was assigned to caddy for me the first time I played at Oakmont. He was very, very good and friendly and I liked him. I started asking for him and my position at the Club is unique to say the least so I don't ask for much and that has worked well. Getting Liam as a caddy is one of my few requests. What about the relationship with Cole? I said well, my stepbrother is very good and is also very new to all this attention. Liam, simply manages him well and makes him about 3 strokes better. What do you think about his move to pre-lad and sports law? Jack, I have no thoughts at all. Sure my foundation is paying for his final 3 years and not a 4th. I don't care what he studies. Jack, I like the dude, he is a solid guy and seems to know his way around a lot of high profile people, he is respected at the club. Oh, I'll help him in many ways, someone needs to ask. Then I asked, so you ok with all that? He said Mike, once you showed interest in Liam, I naturally wondered what was in it for you? Look Jack, I have more than I need and when I come across people I like, I help where and when I can, I rarely need anything. Liam's future is up to Liam. Desert was Bailey's Brownies and coffee and that was fantastic as well. Once desert was finished, I thanked Lois for a great dinner, shook Jack's hand said I had a great evening and asked Liam to walk me to the car. Once were were outside Liam stopped and asked so what the fuck did dad talk with you about. I laughed and said you. Then I added, Liam he want to make sure I wasn't plying you with money to control you? Liam said Mike, he had it very hard and both my parents worked their way through college, why the hell do you think, I work at the club, a job is required and golf and being outside, always works. Then there Is the flexible schedule. Liam, I'm not sure he approves of the change in you studies, Liam looked at me and said, no shit. He actually hates it, I hope he didn't think it was your idea. Look, Liam I assured him, I don't do that and just so you know the scholarship is a Foundation thing, if you need anything else, we can talk. He said, thanks and we shook hands and I drove home. At home I chatted with dad and went to my room and called JJ. When he answered I asked if I could come over and talk? He laughed and said well that's different, do you know the way? I laughed and said dude, I'm on my way and I'll use a map. Oh, it will be a while as I'm walking. I hung up and walked the 4 houses to JJ's. I knocked on the door and JJ yelled ENTER. I opened the door and got a big hug and he handed me a beer and said let's go to my room. I opened the beer and said, so the rents are out? He said well for another 30 minutes or so but I'm betting you need to talk about sex life, or rather lack of one, correct? I sat on the bed and said well correct and that's fucking unfair, now I owe you a task. What do you require? He pulled me to my feet gave me a hug and I tried to kiss him and he said dude, an IOU will be fine. I sat back on the bed and he sat beside me and I said I had a head doctor appointment today and he said I would never be happy till I resolved the Carrie thing one way or the other. JJ almost fell off the bed laughing. He finally managed to say, so you paid a professional to be told what Sean, Cole, Ray and I have been telling you for weeks. MJ don't be mad but your choice in women suck, there was that uncomfortable Prom date and two others that simply wanted fucked by the hottest dude in school. What was sick is that you fell for all that. Then you managed a way to have each of them break up with you. Both of you have space in each other's heads and you will both ruin your Senior year. Mike, you should call her, meet up and fuck the shit out of each other for as long as it takes to work thing out. A better idea would be take her for a plane ride, where you are in total control and work it out and if you can't live with her or without her do the Romeo and Juliet thing and fly the fucking plane into a mountain. I just laughed and said, I was hoping for a serious conversation. MJ, I admit the Romeo and Juliet thing was over the top and a very shitty response. Just fucking work it out and we will all be happier. I asked for another beer and JJ laughed saying nope the rents are home and you are flying tomorrow now get the fuck out of here and call the bitch or I'll fucking set it up. Then he said MJ, you simply love her. The question is do you love he too much to be together? I stood up and got a bear hug, said thanks and took a long walk. Once at home I went right to my room and called Carrie, thankfully it went to voicemail. I left a message asking if we could talk and if yes, meet me at the Allegheny County Airport at 5:00. Then I added, no need to reply, I'll be there one way or the other. Just then Cole flew in my room and asked about dinner with Liam and his rents. I said Cole, it was very, very nice and a great traditional dinner. No drama and a nice relaxing time. I was sitting in a leather chair and he went behind me and started massaging my neck and back, fuck it was great. I grabbed his hands so he stopped and I said come around tot he front. When he did I pulled him on my lap and we were making out. Before it got too serious I asked how he was doing? He said great, my golf is good, my summer reading is good and I'm having sex once a week, weather I need it or not and Sam is a great friend. He asked about me and I told him about my call to Carrie. He got off my lap knelt on the floor folded his hands in prayer and looked at the ceiling and said THANK YOU GOD. As I was laughing he simply got up and went to his room. I set the alarm, jumped into the shower and jumped into bed. I woke to a beautiful late June day, my favorite time of the year as July 4th starts the end of summer for me with prep for football. As soon as JJ joined the group, he looked at me as asked, WELL? I simply said DONE, time will tell. Ray asked what the fuck was up and Cole joined in. The three of them talked the entire run. I found the entire run amusing, they were like junior high kids. At home it was a shower and coffee, business casual dress and a bag packed with jeans and a tee shirt. When I arrived at work, it was the usual greeting for Ruth and a quick call to the Major to get the plane ready for wheels up at 5:00. He laughed and said damn you are really adding to the log book. I simply said thanks and he finished the call my saying no distracted flying? Then it was the usual meeting with Riley and finally the Mayor called and I kept it friendly and told him about the new NASA project and how it was housed at CMU. It was drama free and I knew Wayne and the Major would be pleased. That was followed by a lengthy meeting with Tim and a detailed review of the proposed lease. That was interrupted by a large package from NASA that contained specs tor the rover. Once I was finished with Tim, I called Jack and told him there were specs and project requirements and Ruth had them. He said thanks and added the wedding plans are a pain in the fucking ass, way too much. I simply laughed and said have fun. As it was almost lunch time, I went looking for dad and asked if he was free for lunch? As he was, we walked to that sports bar and had a nice lunch and just caught up on things. I told him what Dr. Drennan said about Carrie and my plans for this evening. He said well it's about time and don't get into a fight and become distracted. Dad, no promises on the fight but I always am careful when I fly, that's why I chose this and she has no idea. Just meet me at the airport or not, her call. He said that Megan was indeed due in Late December and the her ex was laughing his ass off. I said dad, I bet there are a lot of people doing that. I asked for details about the cabin and he said 3 bedrooms and can sleep 10 with some degree of privacy. The place was cleaned and ready and that food would be delivered the morning of the 3rd. He gave me a number to call so I could get what we wanted. He asked, if Carrie would be there and my reply was FUCK NO and he laughed. Back at the office I finalized a proposed list of Board members and sent the list to dad, Tim and Kyle asking for input. As it was 3:45, I said good night to Ruth and drove to the airport and stopped for coffee on the was. There was no sign of Carrie but it was 30 minutes early and the plane was at the service line so I went inside and provided a flight plan indicated it was a recreational flight south and about 60 minuted in duration. Back outside I checked the fuel level and it was 3/4 full which was plenty for an hour in the air. I then started the pre-check and was thinking a nice relaxing solo flight as there was no sign of Carrie. It was almost 5:00 when I heard an announcement, WOULD MIKE SIMMONS PLEASE STOP AT THE TERMINAL DESK.
