Date: Fri, 25 Jun 2021 20:25:01 +0000 (UTC) From: Mike Simmons Subject: It was always about the bets 259 It has been brought to my attention that the story IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT THE BETS should be moved to the Bisexual - High School section of NIFTY The main characters MJ, JJ and Cole as they develop and grow and explore their sexuality have occasional been engaged in sex with the girlfriends. I have agreed to that request and hope my loyal readers will continue to follow the story in it's new location. All the existing chapters will be moved. Thanks for reading and for the many comments. Mike With a somewhat quiet evening before me I simply needed to call Mary Ann and chat with dad. I went to the house and found dad in his office and simply sat down. He smiled and asked, what's on your mind? I said well just checking in and I was hoping we could schedule lunch for Wednesday? I have a lunch meeting tomorrow with the Highmark, CFO. Dad smiled and said, I guess they need real estate help. Dad, I'm not in a position to do that as I pretty much gutted Standard Property. Mike, there is a very easy solution to that, hire Wayne Hillgrove back and let him do it his way. Really dad, why would he come back, we are like oil and water? Michael, he has been hovering for a while now and thinks he made a mistake. Ok dad how do you know that? Mike, we have chatted a couple of time and he is looking for a way to fall on his sword and now that you have a need, simply call him. Ok, dad thanks. So dad, what do you think about Zaid? Mike, we both made a mistake there and I pushed you in that direction, I'm sorry. Just take your time on the next hire. Oh, don't push on hiring Liam. I just looked at him and he continued saying, just keep him separate, he is a very good kid and if nothing else has a career as a caddy on the tour but will stay with Cole and I see that exploding because Cole will not go to college and turn Pro, 15 minutes after he is handed his diploma and they will be a great team. I looked at him and asked, so why all the help all of a sudden? Dad lit a cigarette and said, I haven't told you anything you don't already know. Just helping you move things along. Ok dad my turn, when you announcing you are running for school board? Mike, I will do that but you need to get me signatures to get me on the ballot, for both parties. Once that's done I'm totally in. Just get it done. I said consider it done and said good night. Once in my room I called Mary Ann and we had a great talk and I was a sized how casual things were. We both seemed to be involved in our separate lives and yet shared almost everything. No real claimed on each other's time yet needing time together and both understood we would be together this weekend. She would be at the game and said she would be watching my interaction with the cheer squad. I almost fell out of my chair laughing. We talked for almost an hour and finally said good night. At this point I laid in bed thinking about my conversation with dad and all these little hints. On one lever I appreciate it, yet why all of a sudden this input? Then I wondered how he is so well informedI on all this? I decided that I would discuss that with Kyle at our first lunch. Checking my phone the message from Tim was that Highmark wanted to locate and build mini-med centers. There would be about 5 of those. All I could see was dollar signs but then again wasn't sure I was ready to that type of involvement. I sent a reply to Tim thanking him and asking for a meeting in the morning. Laying in bed trying to relax I asked myself if there would ever be a time when every aspect of my life would be calm. Football and the sex life is good and now the various businesses act up. Is it simply that I make it too hard on myself. At some point I simply fell asleep. I was up before the alarm and when I looked at the time I rolled over and tried to go back to sleet as it was 5:15. Having no luck with that and having a giant morning wood, I simply decided to rub one off and I started to play with my balls. That felt so good and my other hand went to my nips and I was pinching them and my cock was throbbing. My nips being more than a little hard wired I moved that hand to my cock and wrapped my fist around it and started pumping like mad. It didn't take line and the first spurt landed on my chin and lips. That was followed by 4 more which were on my chest and stomach. As my cock subsided I was playing with the load and once my fingers were covered in cum I sucked them clean. Still naked I put coffee on and took a long hot shower. Knowing that lunch would me more formal than casual I selected grey pants, blue shirt and a navy blazer. I aged cordovan loafers and put a tie in the jacket pocket. I filled my travel mug with coffee and drove to the office. I was very early and not many people expected me to be in this early so it was right to my office and I fired up the computer and printed the daily business summary. Even before they were finished being printed Amy appeared and just stopped at the door and stared. Mike, I didn't expect you for a few hours yet are things ok? I said yes and we are now in school mode, time for practice so it starts at 3:00. Amy, I simply didn't say anything as I did not know till last night. Mike, here are the financials and your lunch is at 11:30 at the Duquesne Club, Mr. Carson called last night. So Amy, you are going to help cover with Zaid? She said for a while but just so you don't get any ideas I'm good where I am. I said, no problem and thanks for pitching in. I started looking at the financials and before I was finished, Tim was there. I stood up and said let's grab some coffee and move to the conference room. He shrugged and said that will work. Once we were settled, asked that he fill me in on what he found out at Highmark. Mike it is a guess as it is something Blue Cross is doing out East. It is expensive and a real risk but if the locations are well chosen they can get a lot of money back by selling the buildings. It's coming from their Chairman and I'm not sure John is on board, well totally. Mike, while you need to reboot Standard Property and that is easily done you can make a lot of money managing the construction and you actually have the Union people in your pocket. Think of the workers you will need and the reputation that will build. We will ask the project manager on your two building to stay on. Also, it time to see how real the new Union President. Tim, he won't be there for this and I would bet Rocco will be back. I understand that was a leave, health issues. The next issue was dad and I simply asked, what's up with dad and his sudden interest and how does he know what's going on? Mike, the best person for that is Kyle. He has the best read on your dad than anyone else. I told him Kyle and I would meet weekly at his request. Tim smiled and said that's a good thing. I'm sure you know it but Kyle is all in. I simply said, yup. Tim then asked about Zaid and I said a hint from dad, a tip from Amy, a tip from Kyle and ultimately a couple of vague answers from Zaid and a choice and a road taken. Mike, don't do that road not taken shit with me, just keep it simple? I laughed and said well it worked on a US Senator and we both laughed. So Mike, who is the next hire? Tim, I'm thinking not for a while and I'll rely on you Kyle and Amy. Mike, just make sure you are ok. So Tim our last item, any thoughts? Well Mike, nothing has changed but I'm figuring out the existing client thing. There are 4 or 5 I would like to keep. None involve a conflict with anything you might do. Ok Tim just keep them but what about the others? Mike, actually I would turn them over to Bill, well for a fee. It will give him a start and he knows the clients. Tim, just work it out and let me know. It looks like we might be getting involved in a bunch of new shit. Once Tim left I went back to the office and called Major Jim and asked if he had a minute? He said sure and he would be right there. Once Jim arrived he immediately asked what's up? Major thanks for sending the email about Zaid, it hit every tone. I had just finished reading the financials and got up and joined him in a guest chair. Jim, how are things with NASA? He said they are good, why did you ask? I smiled and said I think you and I and Jack should visit some weekend and just touch base. It is just that we have had no contact with them in a while. The Major laughed and said Mike, if they had an issue they would be here like a plague of locusts. I laughed and said, well let's turn the tables. He looked at me and asked, do you really have the time to do that? I said absolutely we can leave very early Saturday and return late Sunday. Then he asked, would this be JJ's idea? I laughed and said well I hadn't even thought about inviting him. You can make that call. Ok but speaking of JJ, what the heck did you do with my son. Well from what I hear it was be nice to the rents weekend. Jim laughed and said, well it's been a lot different this year. Mike, in Texas he was the best there was and here he is simply very good on a very good team. He has never been on a team this good. So Jim what about next year? Mike, he will be fine, he has always underachieved as as student and that seems to be changing as well. So what's his Major going to be? Mike, I would guess business as he is a born salesman. Jim, I'm asking because he seemed uninterested when we talked about it last week. Mike, just give him a chance, he has grown up and matured. Jim are there still plans for a flight school? Mike, it's in the works and yet a ways off and it will be a part time thing. Jim what do you think about me being Jet certified? Mike, you are certainty good enough but those rides are expensive and we have one parked in New York way too much. Well Jim the wine business is very good and we are negotiating with the Jelly people. Besides, Jack flew Jace back as he will be staying up there until the harvest. Mike you still have two single engine planes and a twin engine here. Well Jim lose one of the single engine planes as there won't be one in New York. Jim, back to jets, how much? He countered with how big? I said 6 passengers and I was told, I'll get back to you, next week. I said thanks and don't forget the trip to Houston. I thanked Jim and decided to walk the 10 blocks to the Duquesne Club and if necessary take a cab back. I stopped and chatted with Amy and said I would see her tomorrow. I stopped in the restroom and tied my tie and started for the Duquesne club. It was a great day for a walk and I was hoping it would be calm at the club. I don't know how it happened but I arrived exactly at 11:30. I was welcomed by the manager and told that Mr. Carson had just arrived. At the table John stood up and we shook hands. I ordered I iced tea and John ordered ice water with lemon. We chatted about football and general stuff until we ordered and I ordered a Cobb salad and he ordered grilled halibut. Once the waiter had left John asked, how my real estate division was set up and I told him I was restructuring and he would be good in a week or so. Mike how sure are you about? John, very sure. What is it that you need? He said land selected and 5 buildings built and furnished. Mike you and your company are best suited for everything but the land selection. John, we can end this right now as I want no part of constructing a building with non union workers, I've worked too hard to do that. Mike, we have a very large base number of unions we insure and that is also our requirement as well. John what's the time frame on all this and he replied 18 months. I said well that's pretty aggressive as there will be multiple municipalities, zoning boards and code officers. John smiled and said well they will all be easier than where you are currently building. Ok John, who,else are you considering to pull all this together? He said well there is the possibility of splitting things up to 2 or 3 people. So what you just told me is that we are the only ones capable of doing this project, correct? John shrugged and said, that about sums it up. Understand there will need to be complete transparency and I assume you will be housing this project under Enterprises, is that correct? John that's correct if we feel we can take this on as it's a big complicated project. Who at Highmark will be running this? His reply that would be me, shocked me to the point that he noticed my reaction. The conversation slowed down while we ate and was wondering how much money we could make on this. So I asked John, what's the budget? He said well somewhere around 5 or 6 million. Well John we will be expecting $900,000 to a million for our services. There was no reaction to that and he asked do you have an architect in mind? I said, possibly and I assume those fees are included in your budget. Mike, there are a lot of fluid parts to this right now so let's each talk with our teams and meet again, say Monday? I said fine and this time lunch is on me. The topic then turned to Wyatt as I asked how he was doing? Mike, he is really good as he is being accepted on the team and as a results has a lot of friends. Mike, I assume you know about the VT visit Saturday morning. I said only that the coach would visit and hopefully it was just a meet and not much else. John said, it was strange but very comfortable. Ok John, how was it strange? Oh, just that people thing he is that good and how well he dealt with it, very matter of fact. Well John, trust me it will be intense. With that we went our separate ways. Outside I took a cab back to the office. Back at the office I simply shut down my computer and left for school. I was a tad early but the guys that were there gave me a hard time about my tie as I actually forgot it was on with the events of the day running through my head. But a million clear if I could pull that off and my improved standing with the union people would be great. Not to mention my standing in the business community. Looking at it honestly I was a bit overwhelmed. I struggle through practice as I couldn't clear my head and it was very hot with the temperature in the low 90's and we were in full pads. There were lots of short breaks and after I fucked up a play for the second time coach simply told me to take a seat. I was guzzling water and Coach sat beside me and said, bad day? I said nope just a day that has me out of sorts and I really need to work out. He smiled and asked, so what's stopping you? I just looked at him and he said go, you are the one person on this team that I can't have unfocused. I said thanks and started to the workout room when I heard, dude wait up. It was JJ and he said coach asked me to spot for you and to make sure you didn't overdo it. I put my arm around him and we went inside and I stripped and jumped into the shower as did JJ. I put on a pair of gym shorts, no shirt and started my workout program. JJ was there dressed as I was in shorts as well. I went at it pretty hard and JJ kept me in control. When we were finished it was another shower for me as I was a sweaty mess, once again. When I got out of the shower I found JJ talking with the network reporter. I quickly threw on a clean pair of shorts and a tee and was packing things up when the reporter asked for a minute. I said sure and sat down. Mike we naturally are aware of your business activities and have downplayed that as this is a football thing but seeing you so unfocused today I have to wonder if your many business dealings were the issue? Joe, I had a long and very complex lunch today and there is the possibility of a very big project. It is very early in the process and I left that meeting and came directly here. I guess I simply needed more time to clear my head before practice. Usually I manage that, today is simply unusual. Ok, Mike can you share more? Well not about the business situation. Do you have anything else? Well why did you need to do a rather intense workout? I simply love working out and it relaxes me and JJ was here to make sure it wasn't too intense. Ok Mike what do you think about the game on Friday? Joe, I'm thrilled it is a game and at home. It will be tough as they are bigger than us but we are faster. They are pretty much a shove it down your throat kind of a team. They will try to run the ball and control the time of possession. Mike based on the scrimmage the other night your offense needs some imagination as well. I laughed and said it was good enough to score 35 points and not give anything away to the scouts there to watch. Terry laughed and said well I guess that workout focused you. He said thanks and JJ and I headed for our cars. JJ said MJ, you could have at least put a tee shirt on as I was clubbing up watching you workout and that damn reporter was watching the entire thing. I just laughed and said we'll hook up with your girl. Then he said and how was your chat with the Major? JJ I had a chat with Kyle, Tim and your dad just to check in on things and making sure everyone was still onboard. Also, you dad and Jack were considering a flight school and I wanted to know that status. The rest of the conversation went to jet certification and a possible lease of a jet. That would involve one single engine plane and the jet. I was going to talk with you before anything was decided. Jace has had a plane parked in NY a lot and that's expensive. It is manage the cash outflow time. With all that out of the way I drove home starving. At my place I went right to the refrigerator looking for food and slammed the door in total disappointment as there was nothing at all left to eat. I wanted that quiet evening but it was either go out and eat or go to the house. I decided to simply go to the house and make a sandwich and get my ass back to my place as quickly as possible. With the sandwich assembled I was looking for a throwaway plate when a plate was put on the table and Megan asked, so what's the hurry? I laughed and said well no food at my place and a need to be alone. Megan smiled and said well that ship has sailed so have a seat and relax. With no other choice, I poured an iced tea and sat down. So Mike, football or business issues? I said no real issues, just more possibilities than I am ready for. Mike, you can always just say no. Megan that would be a loss of about one million. She laughed and said well after taxes and shot that would be a lot less. I smiled and said good point but there are other considerations. Michael, do you care to share? Well Megan, I'm not ready to involve dad as of yet, I need to figure this out first. Mike, what's the issue with your dad? I took a deep breath and said well there is no reason for there to be an issue but I never get the full story and yet it always comes out well. There are lots of hints and I have to follow. She laughed and said Mike, he is taking the trading wheels off and seeing how quickly you find your way. He also want you to rely on others. Megan, why is that? Mike, he is truly done and can't possibly spend the money he has amassed. This whole Trust thing was to see if you wanted the company or if he sold it and simply gave you half. So what about Cole and the baby? Mike, we both have redone our wills and neither you Cole or the baby will have to work a day in your lives. You on the other hand are more driven than your dad and we are both wondering if you will ever have enough. Mike, with out an inheritance you are already set for life. Then I simply gave her the cliff notes of my lunch meeting. She smiled and asked Mike, can you possibly manage all that? I looked right at her and said I simply don't know. There are lots of possibilities like a January graduation and more classes at CMU. Mike what about VT? Megan, right now I'm still all in. I stood up and she grabbed me and we hugged. I had tears in my eyes and said I wish you were my real mom. With that I went to my place locked the door stripped, put relaxing music on and simply tried to relaxed. I was simply clearing my head and might have dozed off when I realized someone was pounding on my door. I put on a pair of shorts and opened the door and found JJ standing there. He came in sat on the loveseat and said I have a question. I said well ok, let's see if I have an answer. MJ, is my flying and having access to a plane causing you financial stress? I laughed out loud and said dude, god no. I simply think through everything and want to see if the added costs of a jet is worth the advantages. If anyone abuses the plane situation it is Jace, but he is doing such a good job with the grapes I don't care all that much. He seems aware as he had Jack fly him up there. I'm just not keeping 2 single engine crafts. I moved beside him and gave him a kiss a kiss and said thanks for caring. If there is ever an issue, you will be the first to know. Before I knew it his tongue was in my mouth and we were making out and my shorts were off and he was playing with my balls as we kissed. He moved to my neck and then to my nips and was sucking and kissing them and I was throbbing hard and leaking. He kissed his way down my happy trail and he young was licking my head and the piss hole. He started with my cock head in his mouth and he was just sucking on the head when suddenly he dove balls deep and it wa so fucking hot I unloaded in his throat. He swallowed my load game me an intense kiss and said good night and left. The door closed and I was thinking damn and it opened again and he stuck his head in and said MJ, I love you. He closed the door and I got up raced to the door and yelled JJ get back in here. Once inside I kissed him and said asshole I love you as well. He hugged me and said I know but fuck it's great to hear you finally say it. Once he was really gone, I closed the door leaned against it and started to cry. I was so lucky to have JJ, Megan and dad all caring about me. With that I turned out the lights and jumped into bed. I was up early again and this time I dressed in khakis and a polo shirt, a new one with club logo. I was hungry again and decided to go to the house and make breakfast. I grabbed the paper and went inside and found Cole sitting at the island eating scrambled eggs and toast. I smiled and asked dude, what up? He said fucking golf practice but at least it is at South Hills. I was scrambling eggs and had toast in when Cole said MJ, that asshole Coach suggested a swing modification and I just laughed and said, I have a professional teacher based at Oakmont and in a pinch I can ask AP for advise and I'm stuck a teen in the ground put a ball on it and whacked it about 315 right down the middle. The coach asked can you do that again? I smiled and repeated it 5 times and all the drives were within 5 yards of each other. What pissed me off the most was that he simply walked away. At least we are simply playing today, what's the front 9 course record? I laughed and said 33 or 34. Cole said well I'll just shoot 32 and shut him up. I laughed and said welcome to my world. Once the eggs and toast were ready I poured a cup of coffee and opened the paper to the sports page. There I was on page two LOCAL STAR SENT FROM PRACTICE AFTER A BAD DAY. I didn't even read it I just showed it to Cole and finished eating. Cole laughed and said I feel for you. I cleaned up and drove to the office. I turned on the computer and checked my calendar and said damn as I had forgotten about lunch with dad. I was deciding weather to eat in or go out and decided that the sports bar would be a good option. There was so much I wanted to talk with dad about and yet so much I didn't. I simply needed to know where his damn head was. Amy appeared and said Mike, you have a light day as your only item is lunch with your dad. Nut Jack thought you might want to visit the robotics project as there is something he would like you to see. I said, please tell him I'll head over around 9:00. I called Maggie and asked he to set up a meeting with Mr. Hillgrove any day but Friday and not over the weekend and she should plan to attend. She said sure but was surprised. I was wondering what Jack had to show me but I needed to pay those guys a visit. No matter what I was glad not to have to discuss the lunch meeting with anyone. Getting to CMU wasn't an issue but damn there was no place to park and that took another 15 minutes and a 10 minute walk to get to our location. Once there Jack was easily found as the place was small and there were only a few employees but they were an elite group. Jack said follow me and he took me to a room and there stood a version of a rover. He said it met all the required specifications and said now watch this and he went to the computer and the damn thing started to fold up and it was a third of its size. He gave another instruction and it opened back up. I was amazed but he said the issue is that we can't just work it from earth as it takes a long time for messages to be sent. Once the NASA people approve and test the shit out of it and we make the adjustments it is up to them to program it. A heavier version is in the works for the moon rover. I spent over an hour there talking and observing what would be a giant step forward. Jack laughed and said so you see I wasn't fucking off. Jack, I never thought that but I'm in the process of checking on everything and everyone . I noticed it was 10:45 so I said I had to go as it is lunch with dad day. It was about 20 minutes back to office and Amy said Mike, the food is here and you dad is in the conference room.
