Subject: It was always about the bets 218

Once I opened the door it was obvious that little Carlie was pissed and
JJ sensing the same and said Charlie, we have snacks and video games
downstairs and a pool table and foosball. His mood changed immediately
and JJ had a friend. David was tired and stressed and old Charlie was
stiff and uncomfortable. We went into the common room and when everyone
was situated I asked if I could get anyone a drink? I got Charlie a red
wine, David a scotch and a beer for me. With all that done I sat down and
nicely asked Charlie what I could do for him? He took a drink of his wine
and said, make a decent offer for my winery, please. I took a drink of my
beer and calmly asked Charlie what is a decent offer? Mike, I believe
David told you this morning. Charlie, that's correct and I explained in
detail why I did not think that was the case. Charlie I would like to
know how you came to that number? Charlie reached into his pocked and
handed me the real estate listing for Cayuga Estate Winery. I looked at
David and he shrugged.


Realizing there was no help coming I said Charlie, I am aware of that and
I am not interested in that place. You see dad's land is special to me
for reasons I don't yet understand, however without getting into the
dirt, I feel it would take $200,000 to get your winery on the same level
as the business you just showed me. Charlie, I won't fight over this, I
have too much respect for you and all the hard work you have done.
Included in my offer was the use of the house for as long as a family
member wanted it. In addition I provided 10% in the new corporation, to
stay in the family. Finally there would not be a name change. I'm sorry
this isn't meeting your expectations. I am offering you all that and
$600,000 for something you paid less than $96,000 for. Charlie, when you
are ready, let me know and we can talk again. I got up to refill the
drinks and I noticed that David and Charlie were in a quiet discussion. I
set their drinks beside them and went downstairs to check on JJ and
little Charlie. I laughed as they were engaged in a heated discussion
about a foosball game. I found it very amusing and just stood there
watching. After a while David appeared and asked me to please go upstairs
and talk with Charlie?


I found Charlie looking out the window at the sunset. I asked if we could
please go outside and he smiled and said sure. We were both just staring
at the sunset when Charlie turned and looked at me and said, I'm going
to miss seeing that. I just let him go on and he said Mike you are right
about the winery and so is David. In fact David thinks you made a very
generous offer. I also know that in a year or so I'll have to shut down
and all those wonderful plants would die. He smiled and said and the
jelly business disgusts me as they underpay and don't give a shit about
quality. Mike, David has convinced me that the place will never be worth
as much as it is right now so I think we have a deal. However, I would
like a few minor changes? I asked if he wanted to go inside and he said
he was fine outside. I remained silent and he asked that I agree to
maintain the house, nothing fancy just make sure it doesn't become
unlivable. I said sure, what else? Mike, I will put my 10% into a trust
for Charlie and would ask you to agree to manage the trust, can you do
that? Charlie, I can but why not David? Well, he is always too business
and while you are as well you have a heart. I laughed and said thanks but
how will he take all this? Mike, he has already agreed, as he always
gives into me. I laughed and said, well that's what sons do and I know
from experience. Anything else? Well one thing that will give me great
pleasure, fire the General Manager. I can't because of his contract but
the contract and the contracts of all the management expire with a sale.
So who replaces him?  Charlie smiled and said the assistant GM. A young
guy who cares about the place. I said, ok I'll take that clause out of
the offer about retaining the help.


I looked at Charlie and asked, so what will you do? He said hang around
here all summer and stay with David in the winter. Mike, I still know how
to make wine but won't be a pain in the ass. I laughed and said don't
make promises you can't keep. With that we went inside and almost right
away, David, JJ and Charlie appeared and we were asked if it was done?
Charlie said yes and I looked at David and said we need to talk as I
agreed to something I'm not comfortable with. David laughed and said
Mike, the Trust was my idea so please just accept it and I'll explain
later. We all shook hands and little Charlie looked at JJ and asked dude,
will I see you again? JJ said sure and Charlie said great I love beating
you at foosball. We all laughed and as we were parting ways, I got David
aside and said thanks and if he changes his mind let me know. Mike, it's
all good and thanks for being so nice with him. David, it what I do. Then
David said well there is no need to meet tomorrow, so why don't you have
your legal guys work on a formal offer and send it to me. Mike, I promise
no hiccups. I said that works and Cole had a great tournament this
weekend and he has a Pro invite next weekend and I promise to get him to
you soon, I have always been interested in playing your course. He said
well, I'll expect an invite to Oakmont. We shook hands and I gave old
Charlie and said thanks partner and he laughed.


Back inside JJ handed me a beer and I said this is the last one as wheels
up by 11:00 and if you plan on flying some tomorrow same for you. He said
fuck you know how to kill a good time. I laughed and said well there are
other good times available and I pulled him into a hug and that as it
always does lately resulted in us making out. Suddenly the beers weren't
important and the making out quickly lead to us being naked and sucking
one another. Once we had both shot a load and JJ was laying with his head
on my chest he said Mike, little Charlie was a blast, I definitely want
one. I laughed and replied, we are two totally fucked Musketeers. I was
excited about the day and fucking horny and I pulled JJ up to me and we
started kissing again and I flipped him on his back and started sucking
his nipples and slowly worked my way down to his cock. Not really looking
for more oral I started on his balls and he groaned as I sucked them both
into my mouth, they barely fit and as I knew he was uncomfortable I
flipped him over again and started eating his ass. He was moaning and
begging me not to stop. I had other ideas and once it was wet enough, I
shoved a pillow under his ass and grabbed each ass cheek, spread them
apart and slowly entered his hole. It was a slow sensual session. It was
always a slow rhythm which built up for a while as it was my second load
in a short time and yet when I couldn't hold off any longer I managed a
big load and collapsed on top of him?


He recovered quickly and rolled over and I saw he had a massive erection
and said dude hop on this cowboy need ridden. He spit on his hand and
rubbed it on his cock and said saddle up. I spit on my hand rubbed it in
my hole and straddled him slowly putting his rod in my ass. Once I was in
I sat there and grabbed his nipples and squeezed hard and said giddy up.
He laughed and started to buck and I was a great helper. Then I put both
hands around his neck and lightly squeezed. He was turning a little red
so I let god and leaned forward and kissed him and he put his arms around
me and held me tight while we kissed and he worked my ass. Finally he
pushed me up and screamed FUCK and he filled my ass. I rolled off him and
said, ok cowboy that was fun but this cowpoke is exhausted and we to the
room and fell asleep in each other's arms.


Once again I was up first and made the same coffee run and started
cleaning up and then decided to simply call and have it done. Once again
there was nothing in the local paper of interest and I was ready to get
on the way as I now had a shit load of work to do. I called Tim and told
him I needed meeting Tuesday morning and he said check my calendar in a
while and he will set it up. Then I called Major Jim and filled him in on
a few details and said that tonight I will send out a detailed email to
all concerned and that we needed to schedule a meeting and that he needed
to be aware of Megan's court schedule. He said Mike, great job and it
sounds like a reasonable price. I laughed and said, well that's easy for
your guys to say as I am on the hook for 600k. He laughed and I'll see
you tomorrow, fly safe. The he asked, so when was your last drink? I said
at dinner around 6:00 same with JJ and we are good. He said shit, you
guys are growing up. I laughed and said well a little, I guess.


There was till no sign of JJ so I called the realtor in North Carolina
and asked what the fuck is going on with my property and why are people
aware it is listed. Especially since I had not signed a listing
agreement. I was on hold while they looked thing up or more likely how
they were going to get out of this. When they got back on, I was pissed
and before they could say a word, I screamed YOU FUCKING ASSHOLES DON'T
KEEP ME ON HOLD. You either have an answer or get back to me quickly with
one, YOUR FIRED and I hung up. JJ was standing there laughing and said, I
guess you used up all you nice attributes last night. Then I noticed that
he had two bags and he said let's just go. I know you are more than
ready and need a workout. JJ it's more like I have a shit load of work
to do. I threw my bag on the table and opened it, grabbed a pair of jeans
and a tee and dockers, no socks and we were on our way.


At the airport, I check the flight plans and ordered fuel and freed the
plane from it moorings and started the preflight check list. The fuel
truck was already in view and once that was complete we jumped in and I
had JJ check ATIS and it was great with very light wind. We started up
and we're almost immediately cleared for take off. Once we were at
altitude and I was sure of the heading I said ok cowboy, you plane and no
nonsense, same as last time. JJ took over and I was watching his every
move and he complained about the wind forcing a drift East. I said well
you have us on course so shut up and pay attention. After about 40
minutes I took over again and was more relaxed and there was no real
reason for that. It was a calm and quiet flight back.


We jumped in the car and I immediately put the roof down on the car and
it was a quick mid day journey home. JJ jumped out and said that was a
fun couple of days and we need to do it again. I reminded him that we
might be going to VT and he gave me a weird smile and said well that
won't be the same. I said JJ, you definitely got that right. At home dad
and Megan were working and Cole, left a note saying he was practicing at
St. Clair. I went to my room and put on a baggy pair of shorts and a
loose fitting tee and grabbed a pad and pencil and went to the kitchen.
There I grabbed an iced tea and went outside. I moved my chair into the
sun and took my shirt off and started to work on what I would send to the
investors. I was concentrating hard on being logical and not heavy
handed, I wanted this to work. Then I became aware of someone standing
there. I looked up and there was this older red haired woman with her
hands on her hips just staring at me shaking her head. I said, well good
afternoon Mrs. McGuire, do you need something? She asked, so which of the
lads are you? I smiled and said, I'm Mike and I should have introduced
my self. She asked so are you in a habit of sitting here virtually naked?
I thought shit, here we go. I said well actually I only do that when the
sun is out and it is warm, sometimes I sit here with my ski coat on. With
that she simply went inside and I was thinking, fuck this is the least
you will see around here. I simply went back to work on the message.


Then Cole appeared holding a beer and he sat down with a beer and asked
about the trip. I said Cole it was very good and you and your mom might
be part owners in a Winery. He laughed and took a drink of his beer. Cole
looked at me and asked if I had met the new housekeeper. I said yup and
he said, well I guess I should find her and say hello. I laughed and
replied well you better leave the beer here as I got told about being
virtually naked. Cole laughed and said well this one is dead and I need
one more. He got up and went to the kitchen grabbed a beer and sat back
down. Almost immediately Mrs. McGuire appeared and she looked at him and
said Cole lad, does your dad know you drink beer? Cole smiled and replied
shit no, he thinks I drink scotch. She simply went inside. Cole, looked
at me and said well I guess I'll get blasted again. I asked, so what
else did you do? He shrugged and said everything and nothing, nothing
works with mom. Cole, cut her a break, she is growing a brother and it
can't be comfortable. Mike, all I know is mom is bitchy and now Michel
is getting the same way and she is pissed as I have a 4 day tournament
this week and we are leaving tomorrow night so it's like 5 days. I
laughed and said well you have to make the cut? He laughed and said,
seriously, I'm good.


I started back at my task and I was again really into it and Cole was off
somewhere in his head and thankfully he was quiet. I went inside and
refilled my drink and Mrs. McGuire was cooking and I stood beside put my
hands on my hips and asked so how would you like us to call you, Mrs.
McGuire or something less formal? She smiled and said Colleen. I said
well I hope we didn't get off to too bad a start. She laughed and
replied well lad, you guys were just marking your turf and you were
politer than Cole. I'll see how this goes and there are limits. Colleen,
that is a two way street. Lad, I raised 2 lads of my own, good Catholic
lads, so I know what to expect. Colleen, neither of us are good Catholic
lads and we don't pretend to be. She shook her head and I went outside.
I told Cole that she might be cool as she raised two  good Catholic
blokes. He laughed and said well I bet she flips out when she discovers
we both shag blokes. She might accept the lasses, though. I just laughed
and went back to what I was doing.


I worked for a while longer and was pleased with the message and went up
to my room, completely exhausted. However, completely determined to
finish this so it would be a quiet night, I composed the email and sent
it to the group. Once that was done I turned off the phone and would
leave it that way until after dinner. That way the only person I had to
deal with was possibly Megan. I jumped into bed and put my headphones on
with classical music and I must have fallen asleep and my next conscious
thing was Cole sitting on my bed and whispering dinner is ready. I
realized that I hadn't eaten all day as we left in a hurry this morning.
Downstairs we were all there dad, Megan and Cole. I look at dinner and it
was a beef brisket, boiled potatoes, cabbage and carrots. Dinner was
casual and fun and everyone was in a good mood. Megan asked if after
meeting you two, was she coming back? Cole replied well we invited her
back and everyone laughed. I added that the Catholic tradition might
cause an issue or two but I'm good, but not doing the church thing any
time soon. The cleanup was easy  as everything went into the dishwasher.
Once that was done, I went to my room and started to figure out my day
tomorrow.


I knew there were meetings with Tim and the legal guys and I needed to
touch base with Riley and I needed to come up with a bunch of money and
hire a new realtor and get the beach house on the market. Then there
needed to be a chat with dad and finally a workout at school. Then I
added the need to have a face to face with the group about the Winery. I
had just finished when there was a knock on the door. Realizing it was
most like Megan I gout up and opened the door. As expected Megan was
standing there and I said please choose a seat that works for you and she
sat on the edge of my bed. She immediately said, I read your email and I
am good and will invest 10 to 15 percent, depending what's available and
needed. What I need to talk about is Cole. Mike, he is different and I
don't know why. I laughed and said Megan, we have discussed what he has
been through this year. Now you are about to add a brother or sister to
his life after 16 years. He is wondering how he fits in. Add to that he
is realizing I will be leaving, after this year. Simply, stop bitching at
him and give him a hug and tell him how much you love him. I'll be
around more than he thinks but he is pulling away and so am I. I'll
mitigate that some on my end as I'm aware. Megan, you tend to think he
is fine and let him on his own, he actually needs you and I hope he gets
close with dad. MJ so where are you in all this? Megan, I am pretty much
out of here in a year and a lot worse things could have happened, unless
I get a sister. Megan simply laughed and said MJ, have a good night.


I decided, I better call Mary Ann and when she answered I said, I've
been very busy but wanted to check in before it got too late. It turned
out to be a really nice conversation and there were no questions about
money or sex, all of which were important to me at least. Then she asked
if I was free tomorrow night as she wanted me to come over for a cookout.
Then she added, well mon and the twins would like to meet you. I took a
deep breath and said well that sounds like fun! She laughed out loud and
said Mike, you don't lie very well. I replied Peanuts, it's cool and
I'm thinking it will happen anyway. We might as well check that box.
Then she asked it 5:00 would work and we agreed. It was a quick good
night.


I just sat there hoping the day was over when Cole appeared. I sat in one
of those leather chairs, yup the ones I need to get rid of, and asked,
what's up? MJ, the Major is flying Liam and I to Pinehurst tomorrow
afternoon and I need to say thanks for focusing my mom. I said Cole, no
thanks necessary. So what's the dress for the weekend? He laughed and
said well plus 4's every day and it is Steelers, Penguins and Pirates if
I make the weekend. I asked, what about Sunday? He said same in all
purple with a white hat and white shoes. I laughed and said so high
school colors? He said MJ, I didn't even realize that. MJ, I have a late
practice round tomorrow and an early one on Wednesday but don't know my
tee time yet. So Cole, how are you playing? He said well it was shitty
today and my Pro bet me 50 that I could not birdie the next three holes.
Once that was easily done he told me that I am way too young to be bored
and that I needed to stop hitting all those different shots. MJ, I'm
thinking the more shots I have tucked away the better as I'm not going
to hit every fairway. Cole got up to leave and I stood up and hugged him
and said dude, I'll be around more than you think, once college starts
and a lot once football is over.


I was exhausted and remembered I needed to have a long talk with dad. Dad
had his usual scotch and cigarette so I poured a drink and reached for
the cigarettes. Dad shook his head and said, what's up you are usually
asshole deep in football and this year you are still drinking and
smoking? Dad, I have been telling you it's different this year and I'll
be ready for football, I just have more to do now. I took a drink and
said, ok tell me about the lake, please. Dad put his cigarette out and
said Mike, I believe you know that your grandfather, my dad, bought 5
acres from Charlie. That happened when I was just a bit younger that you
are now. Charlie, wanted to buy plants from Italy and needed cash to get
that done. What he sold was the land I now own and will eventually be
yours. It was at the far end of his property and he had no plans for it.
I have no idea how my dad came to buy the land or what he paid for it. It
was just there. There was also a nice cabin. A log cabin and I am really
interested in seeing what you would build there. Your grandfather and I
would go there a lot and naturally your mom hated the place. I did meet
David and we were both very young. Yes, we did the skinny dipping thing
together as did both our dads. Once my dad dad died, you were just 3, I
stopped going and the place was pretty much rented.


At some point I didn't even bother renting it out. There was a tough
week at work with the business and an equally tough week with your mom
and I figured fuck this and packed a bag and drove there to get away and
think. When I got there I was sick and everything was overgrown. Mike, I
had just left and didn't tell anyone where I would be or when I would be
back, I was simply hiding out and there were no phones, like today.
Inside the place was dirty but in good shape. As it was late I drove into
town and stocked up on food and drinks and cleaning supplies. I spent the
night cleaning and it really felt good to be doing something.


The next morning I went to the small shed and after a few tries started
the tractor and spent the morning cutting weeds. Once the area around the
cottage was reasonable I was sitting on the deck, drinking a beer and
Charlie appeared and sat down beside me. I just looked and Charlie said
well it good to see you, it's been years. I told him I simply needed to
get away from things and this place popped into my head, no idea why.
Charlie just sat there for a while and told me, well if you need anything
you know where I am. Once I was a lone I decided to go for a walk and
naturally I ended up at the rock and I stripped and jumped in and was
having a nice relaxing time and all of a sudden there was a splash and
damn David was there. We caught up and chatted and I was a relaxed as I
had been in years.


Mike, it went on like that for a few days and one morning I was woke by a
pounding on the door. When I opened it I said, good morning officer, I
guess someone finally missed me? He laughed and said, look asshole call
the office and do that sooner than later. I said, thanks and I'll get
dressed and go to town and do that immediately. He shrugged and drove
away. I went to town and called the office and your buddy Adam said what
the fuck is your issue? I said calm down I'm simply on vacation, I'll
see you in a few days. Just deal with things, I need a break. Then I
called home and Bill answered, I asked him to put his mom on and he came
back a few minutes later and said, mom said she is busy and said call
back later. I knew then that we were finished and there was no way back
from that. I told Bill to behave and hung up.


It went on in a calm and relaxing few days. Once I was relaxed, I stopped
over at the winery and gave him my work and home numbers and told him I
would see him or a more regular basis. I simply started the 6 hour drive
home. Mike about 6 weeks later Charlie called and told me that there was
a lightning strike and the cabin was a total loss. I was devastated and
Adam and I drove up. Mike the only thing left was the fireplace and
chimney. Adam talked me into the structure you see today and until
recently, I rented it out and it made a lot of money. I was hoping your
mom would like it but we were well past that. I've never really liked
the place. Once I agreed to all that, the place was no longer special. I
was in my will going to leave the property to David. Then you started to
figure it out and once you were there memories started to stir and you
found it special. Mike, that's all I got except for a request. Dad, what
do your need? Mike, you to show me a rough sketch of the cabin you would
build. Dad, I already have one and it's at the office and will be on
your desk in the morning.


As we were both drained, I said good night. I went upstairs and in my
room, I found Cole laying in my bed and I laughed and asked, so how did
you know I needed company? He smiled and said well the clue was a one
hour, closed door meeting with a rent. I laughed, stripped, turned out
the lights and joined Cole in bed. We simply fell asleep holding each
other.
