Subject: It was always about the bets 298

We were both up with the alarm and JJ jumped in the shower and I put
coffee on and threw some clothes in a bag. Once the shower was cleared I
jumped in and it was a hot and quick shower. I found JJ drinking coffee
and reading the paper. I laughed and asked dude, when did you start
reading. He smiled and said well I just read enough to know it's a good
thing we're are going to New York. Apparently we just declared war on
lat nights opponents. JJ is that all and I filled my travel mug grabbed
the paper and said dude, let's get going. I'll read the damn paper
while you fly and I have an IFR plan for you to use. JJ started to bitch
and I reminded him that he not only needed hours but IFR hours if he was
ever going to fly the jet.


I tossed him the flight plan and he shook his head and asked MJ, this is
the long way, why? Well if you have a better plan file that but flying
over Lake Erie and Niagara Falls will be fun. Besides we have all day and
the only thing on the schedule beside sex is a quick meeting with Jace so
I can write the plane ride off. JJ insisted a stop at McDonalds and we
did a drive through breakfast. At the airport JJ filed the flight plan
and we did a complete pre-check. We were in the air just a bit after 7
and JJ reluctantly headed northeast towards the lake. I reminded him to
stay in the country and he asked MJ, who the fuck is flying this plane. I
shrugged and replied, well I assume George (auto pilot). MJ, I need hours
as the pilot in command and I can do that by sitting here and watch you
fly. Now read the paper and rule 1. I knew he was thinking about
something but also knew he would talk when he was ready


I watched JJ fly the plane and in spite of what he was thinking he was
totally engaged, checking the instruments and looking around for traffic
and I knew he was pissed about the IFR and the added communications. I
started to read the paper as I was completely relaxed with JJ in control.
The article headline, DEFENDING DISTRICT CHAMPS ROLL ON WITH ANOTHER
DECISIVE WIN, was innocent enough but that was it. It went on to say
after yet another dysfunctional week the undefeated and hardly tested
champs simply turned it on and outperformed a pretty good team on every
level. While it was a very physical game it was the drama surrounding the
game that got the most attention. The Panthers switched uniform numbers
before the game in an attempt to confuse the champs. Coach Ranger
explained that it was legal and when asked if it was ethical he said
legal is always ethical. The officiating crew would only say that it was
legal as long as it was done before the game. The champs figured it out
early and maintained it was to hide a trick play. Well there was a tick
play which outstanding safety JJ Messer read and intercepted. It was
interesting that he took two steps and knelt down. When asked about the
fact that he passed up on what looked like an easy score he replied in an
exaggerated Texas accent that he was hoping to run a sweep on the next
play and stop running about 3 yards after the opposing coach was on his
rear end. After the game Junior middle linebacker panned the coach for a
lack of ethics. Mike Simmons answered a question about all this with one
word SCOREBOARD. After the handshake the coaches got into a verbal
discussion as Coach Ranger felt that the score was run up with more than
20 points being scored after the mercy rule was in effect. When asked
Coach Weston responded with two words, SHORT MEMORY and went to the buss.
The article went on to say that a rematch in the up coming playoffs would
be more than interesting. I simply set the paper under the seat and
looked at JJ who said dude, you wanted to see the damn lake start looking
and we are about 20 minutes from the falls.


So JJ are you still mad about the flight plan? MJ, I figured it out and
this way up and my way back will result in the hours and IFR flying I
will need for the jet. All we need now is to convince my dad we are
ready. Oh, I have simulator hours scheduled for two day's next week. I
enjoyed the lake and the falls but would have liked to have been lower
but the tourist helicopters prevented that. With a nice tail wind we made
great time and were on the ground before 10:00. When we landed I was not
happy to see David Cummings plane parked and we pulled up beside his. JJ
checked in and we charged the landing fee to the company and secured the
plane. I secured the rental and JJ asked why a van? I smiled and asked
have you ever had sex in a van by the lake? JJ laughed and asked does the
back of a truck by a creek count? I just shook my head and pointed to
David's plane and JJ said right to the Winery and let's get that over
with. At the Winery store little Charlie ran right up to JJ and gave him
a big hug and said, wow I didn't know you would be here, this is
awesome. JJ had a strange look on his face as he was genuinely happy to
see Charlie but not what he had in mind. Charlie, not missing a beat said
JJ come see the smashed up grapes this is really neat. With JJ occupied I
went looking for Jace and he was easily found in the office. He waved me
in and said close the door, I'm tired of David and his questions. Jace
what are his concerns? Mike he want to know when we are upgrading. Jace
that's none of his business he isn't an investor. His dad put his 10%
in a trust for Charlie and gave me control of the Trust. He has tried to
fight that but even the people working for him said he can't win. Mike
so as an investor I can tell him to fuck off? Jace, no and neither can I
but as General Manager you can do that. Jace smiled and said I can't
wait till he starts up again. Mike, an upgrade is important as we have
grapes we can't turn into wine. Jace is this just a unique year or
something mor normal. Mike, old Charlie said it was the way thing were a
few years back when people actually ran this place and paid attention to
the grapes. Jace what do the financials look like? Mike, they are really
good but inventory is down as sales are way up. As an example both South
Hills and Oakmont reordered on Friday and we are about to get into the PA
State stores. It's those damn foreign grapes they make outstanding and
very unique wine. Mike the real numbers are better than I expected and
after talking with some wineries in Canada I'm thinking the ice wine
sales will go through the roof. It's a desert wine and is perfect as a
topping for deserts. Your country club crowd will go for it in a big way
and a few ounces of it sells for about the same as a bottle of wine but
it does cost more to produce. Heck even Charlie is interested. Jace, I
would like to have a dividends and divide up a hundred and fifty thousand
with the investors. Mike, that should be easily done and then do a few
upgrades.


Jace, how about we close the books and start over January 1st. He thought
for a minute and said sure it doesn't really matter what artificial date
we pick. So Jace an accounting firm from here or Pittsburgh? Mike, isn't
that a call for the BOD? I laughed and said well I control those votes
with my shares, Charlie's along with the votes in Enterprises and
Megan's. So I'm thinking we have caused enough of a stir up here so
find a good firm up here and have them negotiate with Tim. Jace was
obviously pleased and said I'll get that done right away. Jace, how is
your knee? Mike, it's great and this place is better than rehab. Well
don't over do it. Then I asked about his girlfriend Judy and he said
that they are fine and getting very serious. Mike, next time I'm down
your way, I'll clean out that room and move everything here. I have a
great apartment and Judy will most likely be moving in. Well Jace, that
put a definite spin on getting serious. With that we went and checked out
the wine making process.


What I knew about the process was the very basic, you pick the grapes,
crush the grapes, ferment the grape juice into wine, age the wine and
bottle the wine. I knew our wine was aged in barrels from Europe and
needed to be replaced after a couple of uses. I asked Jace what we had to
sell for next year as this current crop would age from several months to
a couple of years. He took me to another warehouse and I was surprised by
how many barrels there were. Jace laughed and said well each of those
hold 300 bottles of wine, so I'm guessing we have enough. We will start
the bottling process as soon as we deal with this years harvest.  Back at
the grape press we ran into both Charlies and JJ. Little Charlie said
Mike, let's go we are all going to lunch. Ok Charlie, where we going and
he didn't even have to think and immediately said Bay View Grill. I
looked at old Charlie and said, well the kid has good taste. Charlie
shook his head and replied, it that golden spoon in his mouth. Try as I
might I can only remove it on occasion.


Lunch was fun and I laughed when the kid ordered crab cakes and his
granddad shook his head. Little Charlie smiled and said, what they are my
favorite. JJ ordered a burger, Charlie a fish sandwich and a small salad
and I ordered that as well. I asked Charlie about school and he said it
was good or mom would kill me and that he was playing soccer on a travel
team. Mom went to all the games and dad not many at all. Always too busy
at work or at the club. Mike, I've been begging dad to to take me to one
of your and JJ games but not having any luck. I shook my head and said
well I'm not sure I'll be much help but JJ and I will ask, if we see
him. Old Charlie laughed and said well now that he knows you are here
expect a visit as he still wants you off the Trust. Mike, I don't want
that ever to happen. I haven't seen Charlie here so happy in a long
time. Just being around you and JJ makes him a different kid. Then little
Charlie told us they had to leave tonight as he had a soccer game
tomorrow. We hugged and he said I hope I see you guys Friday or even next
Friday.


Back at the winery store David was there and said son let's go we need
to get back. Charlie said son relax you said after dinner and we just
finished lunch.  Just then David realized I was there and asked for a few
minutes time. David, JJ and I have been here longer than we expected and
we have plans but if you bring Charlie to our game Friday I'll have time
Saturday morning or if you want me for 4 hours you can come with us to
Latrobe and watch Cole try to win a district championship. Then I added
well you can say hi to Arnold Palmer. Mike, Friday for sure and we will
see what happens Saturday. Well David, bring your wife and we can all
have an early dinner. Mike, I'll see and Charley was already begging to
watch Cole and the golf. I addd a bit of fuel and told little Charlie
they have great crab cakes at the club for dinner. David looked at me and
shook his head. Old Charlie had a big smile obviously loving how I played
David off against his son in public, giving him no choice. JJ hugged
little Charlie.  and I shook his hand and JJ and I started for the van. I
managed to tell David to fly safe and I would see him Friday.


As soon as we got in the van JJ asked MJ, what the fuck we going to do
with the kid? I said get him on the field and introduce him to AP and in
the process teach David how to be a dad. Mike, that's not our job so
please just let the kid be the kid. I thought about it for a minute then
simply agreed with him. We pulled into the paved driveway to dad's
place. The 400 yards or so to my place it was gravel. At the door I
inserted the key and JJ asked so MJ are you going to carry me over the
threshold? I laughed and said sure, so you being the wife when we here.
With that JJ pushed open the door and went inside and just stood there. I
followed inside and just smiled as it was perfect. MJ, why does this new
furniture look 20 years old. JJ, I think it is just like Pap's
furniture. As soon as I said Pap, a flood of memories hit me. I needed
time to deal with all this "new" information. Dad was, I thought, a
spitting image of Pap and I was a bigger physical version of both but
Bill and I both had lighter hair and looked more like mom's side but I
forced that out of my mind. JJ, not realizing all this pulled me into a
hug and we started to make out. I stopped him and said JJ follow me. We
went out side and there was a cord of wood and I grabbed a bunch of logs
and asked him to do the same. Inside we stacked the wood beside the
fireplace and I loaded some logs on the grid and turned on the gas
igniter and I kissed him and said now let's grad a beer. He opened the
refrigerator and was amazed as it was fully stocked and he stood there
shaking his head and asked, how was that possible?  JJ, my people did it
as requested. There is food for breakfast and beer but not much else as
we can eat out for lunch tomorrow. MJ, I want crab cakes and we both
laughed. We sat on the sofa which was a pull out bed but we wouldn't be
using that. I wanted to have sex with JJ in front of the fire and on a
bear skin rug on the floor. Well that was what was in my head.


JJ looked at me and said MJ, what are you thinking about second semester?
Mike, I know you would talk it over but honest to Christ I need to know
what your thinking. JJ, I don't know but let's talk about options, ok?
First option is to stay in high school and take junk classes and spend as
little time as possible there. It would make it easier to take the AP
tests so that I can get the college credits. JJ if I graduate in January,
I could simply work or work and take classes at CMU. JJ then I could take
classes Tuesday and Thursday at VT and be home Thursday night and go back
Monday night. JJ was quiet for a moment then he said MJ, there is another
option. You stay take reasonable classes, work out and enjoy a no
pressure Senior year. semester. There will be no football and we run
every morning and fly around in the jet and basically just fuck around.
MJ you could blow of a day for work and even do the half day shit you are
doing now.


JJ the bottom line is that I want a change and I need to work. This is
more than I have thought about this and when I had a better idea we would
have had this very chat. What would you want me to do? MJ, I want us both
to be happy. I know we are young and will move in different directions
but not just yet. JJ, it would be very complicated and piss a lot of
people off, besides you, if I just went to Virginia. You are my biggest
concern and I hope the different directions we might go in won't
separate us. Dude we lead complicated lives but fuck, I do love you. I
got up tossed two giant pillows on the floor and got a couple of beers. I
threw two more logs in the fireplace and sat on the floor and watched the
fire simply thinking. JJ joined me and asked MJ, did I upset you? I
smiled and said not at all, I just realized how intertwined you and I
have become. Neither of us have individual personal choices and dude I
hope it stays that way.


We were quiet for a while and then JJ said MJ, I saw you with David today
and you are a damn puppet master. You simply make people do what you
want. I smiled and asked JJ, have I ever done that with you? JJ laughed
and said, hell I don't know as you are so good at it. I looked at him
and said well let me simply fuck you into submission and we both burst
out laughing. Almost immediately JJ and I were all over each other.
Shirts were pulled off and I unblocked his belt opened his jeans, pulled
down the zipper and stood up and with one quick hard pull removed the
jeans and tossed them aside. I stood over him and slowly removed my jeans
and we both laughed as we were both commando. I laid down beside him
again and we were making out. We did that for a long time and we were
both leaking pre-cum. Finally JJ just took over and I was on all 4's and
he was kneeling behind me and slowly and firmly entered my ass. It's a
good thing he was taking his time as there was no lube. Once he was all
the way in my hole he pulled almost out and grabbed my shoulders and
drove it in hard as I heard his ball hit my ass. He kept it up and every
time his balls hit my ass I grunted. It was intense yet I was loving
every minute of of it. Each time he was all the way in he just held it
there  for a second or two and I knew my sexy lover was ending himself.
Finally, I yelled dude shoot that load, I can't take more of this and
that got me a slap in the ass and when he dove in again I shot my load on
the rug. Once JJ knew I shot a load he picked up the pace and finally
shot a massive load in my hole.


Once we recovered JJ just laughed and said dude you ruined the rug. I
smiled and said well it won't be the last load there and I'll have it
cleaned. We fell asleep in each other's arms and woke to a chilly room
and I grabbed some wood and soon enough it was warmer. JJ asked about
heat and I simply said propane but the wood is cheaper. He laughed and
said, like you give a shit about the cost. I got serious and said JJ, I
have money and make money and always worry about it. Lots of people
depend on me making money to survive. That was the only tense moment of
the night as we ordered ribs and fries to be delivered for dinner and
never put any clothes on the rest of the night. The sex was sometimes fun
and a bit kinky and yet there were those special moments that last a
lifetime. We simply grew closer, if that was possible. It was great to
discuss the issues without a raised voice let alone a big fight. The sex
remained, varied and caring and with both our needs being taken care of.
There was a late football game on and we watched with interest imagining
where we might fit in. After a lengthy discussion we decided that either
of the positions JJ ended up playing was higher profile than linebacker.
I smiled and added unless that backer is totally dominant.


We had about 4 beers each watching the game and when it was over we went
upstairs and in my room JJ laughed at the king sized bed and the log bed
frame. I grabbed him and pushed him into bed and started kissing and
making out. We were into it for the 4th time tonight and I knew if there
was another load in me it would take a while and I flipped him over and
slid my cock in and simply went to town on his ass and while it took a
while I managed another loads. Hell at this point neither of us needed
lube as we each had at least one load in our hole. Apparently JJ wasn't
done either and he pulled so that my head was hanging over the side of
the bed and shoved his cock in my mouth and started to face fuck me. It
took a while before I quit gaging and adjusted to his cock and it's deep
penetration into my mouth. H shot so deep in my throat that I didn't
need to swallow. With that we were both used up and done for the night
and we piled the covers on and fell asleep just like last night with my
very soft cock nestled against his ass crack.


Sunday morning it was a run and a joint shower but no fooling around. We
drove into town and had a massive breakfast at a diner. I grabbed a paper
and we drove to the cabin and watched the ABC news show then the Steeler
game and around 4:30 we headed to the airfield and we flew home using the
old route flying over Beaver Stadium. We were home shortly before 7:30
and JJ grabbed his bag and walked the 4 houses up the street to his
place. I threw my bag inside my door and went to the house and found
everyone there. Cole had just returned from a practice round at Latrobe
and said he was taking Thursday off and sneaking in a final round. I told
him that little a Charlie and his dad would be there and that Jace was
planning on driving down. He laughed and said well he isn't driving don
as the Major will fly up and get him and he will be at your game Friday
as well. I laughed and said damn Cole, you are more informed than I am
and I was just there. Dad and I went to his office and we had a nice chat
and he told me that while I stayed out of it my teammates didn't do
anyone favors by calling out the other team. I shrugged and said well
dad, I don't control everything. He shrugged and said, well if you say
so.


I bent to my place and called Heather. I asked about her weekend and she
said she was home all weekend as dad was still pissed and was blaming you
for her outburst and foul mouth. Mike that resulted in the rents having a
fight. That was fun but I'm still grounded but I'll see you in school
as mom wrote an excuse for Friday but that was the last one. I told her
about the cabin and that JJ and I simply watched football and got buzzed.
So Mike, you flew home drunk? Babe the FAA rules are 12 hours and we were
18 hours drink free so we were good. The Major asked us to be alcohol
free for 24. Just couldn't do it. Besides I said buzzed not drunk. With
that we said good night and I went to work on English and history. I was
waiting to see how I did on the CMU stuff and for another assignment.


When that was done I laid in bed and thought about the relationship with
JJ and dependent we are on each other. Not just the sex but the emotional
support we provided for each other. P also realize it went way deeper
than football. Then there was Pap and all that I remembered. The great
times we had together the making popcorn and him drinking a beer and me
an iced tea. Then there was the time he taught me how to swim in the lake
by the rock and finally my first time jumping in the lake from the rock
nude for the first time. I knew there was more much more and that they
would take time but I knew how much I loved him and ho important he was
in my early life. I would need to talk to dad and old Charlie and find
out more. I needed to know how much I might b like him. I seemed to
remember him bing physically a lot like me in build but more like Bill
and Mom facially and hair wis but not hair color. Fuck, dad better have a
picture or two and I needed to know how he died.


Then I started to think about the week and for the first time all year I
was looking forward to school and even the pep rally and was ordering if
this would be my last event in the stadium. Sure if I stayed the last
event would be graduation. If that didn't happen it would be on the
football file. The #1 seed came with a home game in the playoffs unless
they changed the format. It was now time to get serious about football
and the games and to keep winning big so that the league had no choice
but to seed us #1 and we would either have a bye and play the 16th seed.
Then I remembered about the week at work with the two part interview and
dinner Wednesday night with Diane on Mt. Washington. I wondered if that
would be strange. I didn't want it to appear to be more than a business
dinner.  I wondered if it would be better if I invited dad and Megan to
tag along. I made a metal note to check with Diane about dinner.


With that I prepped the coffee set the alarm for a run as it would be
movie night at school and I would ask Wyatt if there were still movies at
his place on Tuesday after practice. My last thought before I fell asleep
was about the beer trap and who might be calling the police. I was on
good enough terms with the Chief to at least make him aware and I was
really hoping it wasn't one of his people. Then I decided to check with
the Major as JJ was also involved. With that all done sleep was an easy
event.
