Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2022 19:14:44 +0000 (UTC) From: Mike Simmons Subject: It was always about the bets 319 Wow, Thanksgiving and District Finals all in the same week and only 2 days of classes and it would be football, football and more football. The run with JJ and a very tired but happy Cole was good and it was a reasonable pace. Cole said he wanted to talk and if I had time later this evening. I hugged him and said that I would be home for the evening after practice. Then it was a shower, coffee and off to school. At school Heather was waiting at the usual spot near the door and I was hoping it was for someone else. As I walked by she said, so hotshot you buy an property lately and then she laughed. I just shook my head and kept walking. Then I remembered that I would need to deal with David today. That did manage to play with my head some. Not Heather but dealing with David. English and history were routine and it was a good thing as my mind was on things at work. That all ended in Physics as soon as I saw Winnie. I actually laughed at that and told myself to slow the fuck down and let it be gradually what it became. It was another routine class and it was a more than boring lecture on the next subject. To be honest, I had no idea as I barely listened. To put the David thing off as long as possible I stayed for lunch. Turns out to be a blast as it seemed that everyone was in a good mood. JJ told me that practice was full pads and that it would be the same for Tuesday and Wednesday, Thursday off and films and a walkthrough on Friday. I asked about a time on Wednesday and was told 8:00 AM. That worked for me as I could spend time in the office. With no other excuses possible I drove to work. It was the same security check and it hadn't let up at all and it was starting to get old but that would be a discussion for another day. Upstairs I chatted with Amy and the Kyle and there was nothing happening that seemed to matter. In my office I set up my computer and Liam appeared and I asked so how was the trip and did your girl have a good time. Mike, Debbie was amazed at the circles we were running in. All the Pro golfers and the way Cole carried on made a lot of "friends" some connections and raised a shit load of money. He called shots, signed a ton of shit. Mike, he must have talked with half the people and one guy paid a $1,000 if Cole let him hit a shot. Cole placed a ball in the trap, a perfect lie and the he slammed another one into the trap and it was a fried egg. Cole said ok, now if yours is closer to the pin than mine I'll pay the grand and if mine is closer you pay 2 grand. The dude hit a great sand shot and it was about 5 feet. Cole simply grabbed a wedge and hit a shot that took one hop and hit the pin and stopped around the same distance. Heck there could have a measurement but the guy wrote a $2,000 check to the the hospital. He shook Cole's hand and said from that lie you gave yourself and to get it that close, it's worth a couple of grand. I asked about Debbie and he said well we it was fun and I didn't say anything but she moved in with me a while back and we are very serious. Mike, she is an elementary school teacher and teaches 5th grade in Bethel Park. Then my office phone rang and I said Liam, sorry but I need to take this. Almost positive it was David I let it ring 5 times and sat down at my desks picked up the phone and said, Good Afternoon, this is Mike. There was laughter and then I heard, Christ you are a cool customer. David, it's your dime what the fuck do you want. Ok, so much for the small talk, what do you know about what my dad pulled this weekend. David, I was totally unaware and more that that I don't care what you do or who you do it with. What I care about is your son and Charlie. Mike, that not completely true as you care about that property Kirkpatrick and I own. David, I want that property and we had a fair agreement which you and your buddy failed to get the zoning changed. I did what I could and it's time to move on and I'm exploring options. So David, what is the purpose of this conversation? Mike, I could make the land deal happen. I laughed and asked and in return what would you require? Well, nothing right now but I'm sure things will come up that you could assist with. I laughed out loud and said, you must think I'm fucking stupid. First, you bribe me with an open ended debt for me to pay and then you expect me to say yes, seriously? Mike it not a bribe it a quid pro cuo I do something..... Look asshole I know what that means and I screamed into the phone NO FUCKING WAY IN HELL and slammed the phone down disconnecting the call. Liam laughed and said, I bet he heard that in DC without the phone. All of a sudden Tim, Kyle and dad were in the office asking what happen. Liam said well someone offered Mike a quid pro cuo and then tried to explain to him what it was. Everyone laughed and I said guys, David simply tried to bribe me for the property. He said he would free up the property and I would simply owe him down the road. Dad and Kyle went back to whatever they were doing and Tim, Liam and I moved to more comfortable seating. Mike, I checked into David and as a young attorney he was very good and had and maintains a lot of clients. Now all he does is the PR shit and has a herd of attorneys who do the real work and a few young bucks, who are partners, simply wanted him out and they pulled together enough votes to oust him. Seeing the writing on the wall he negotiated a buyout and resigned. Then Tim said, I assume that he could use the money and he has 35% of that land Kirkpatrick has the rest so there is no realistic way he could engineer anything. As for his personal issues, I hope you were not involved with Charlie in that? Tim, I was not and the pictures Charlie had were all from DC and before you ask I didn't drop any hints. Remember that I told you that I didn't care about that stuff. Tim smiled and said, calm down, I remember and know better than to question you on your ethics. Then Tim move to the Union saying that they have the Mayor under a lot of pressure and last time I talked with him he said there would be no movement unless you promised to endorse him for higher office. I asked Tim, why is an endorsement from an 18 year old spoiled rich kid so important. Tim almost fell out of his seat laughing and said Mike, that funny but you control the Unions in this town and the Mayor by delaying this sale is hoping to lessen that hold. Mike, if anything the reverse has happened and now you have the environmentalists on your side. All you have to do is sit tight and let everyone else do the fighting. I thought for a minute and asked Liam to get Major Messer. Once Jim was there I said guys, I don't want to fight as I thinks that is the best approach but I would like to have an event to recognize the building winning the new building of the year award. At least a full page advertisement in both papers and possibly building guided tours. If we did that during the week say from 10:00 to 3:00 we could keep the crowd down. Jim said Mike, if we could pull that off on Monday with the start of deer hunting we could get the publicity and keep the numbers down as well. I looked at everyone and asked if we could pull this of off and I added that I was off school. Liam asked about practice and I said well almost on the team hunts and coach would have is hands full and I'm betting it will be movies around 7:00. I wasn't there but that's what he did last year, that's if we win. We stayed around and chatted for a while then Tim went to see if Kyle had and objections, Jim went to check with security and Liam reminded me that I had practice. Practice started with coach going into great detail about Saturday and that the league was trying a new format so that the last game started on time. So it was now a game at 11:00 AM then 2:00, 5:00 and our game at 8:00. All the games will be televised locally and the group who had followed us all year had paid a fee to be able to use parts of our game in their report on High School Football. We would leave at 5:45 and once at the stadium we should stay together and it the weather cooperated we could watch the game before us till after half time. Then he reminded us not to bring anything valuable as it was a shared locker room. Then we worked on a couple of new plays with the QB rolling out and throwing to the side of the rollout. Once Wyatt rolled right and threw left and it was a giant gain but coach went nuts. He was yelling that it was an impossible pass and at the least very dangerous. Wyatt simply shrugged and pointed to the receiver walking back from the end zone. Coach finally said don't do that again. Wyatt simply said sure coach and we continued working on the new formations. I was wondering why but at this point something new was at least interesting. The other thin was that this QB rollout wasn't new and I wondered if he would call those plays in a game or if he was just keeping us occupied. Walking to the car with JJ and Wyatt I asked what they thought. Wyatt said Mike, at some point after we follow the rollout script a couple of times the cowboy will get lose on the opposite sideline and there won't be a defender near him it will be an easy 6 or I'll be benched. Wyatt jumped into JJ's truck and I was wondering how he would get home next year. Right now it was either JJ or I getting him home. I got in the car and not wanting to go home I drove to the office, I parked in my space and went inside walked right past security pushed the elevator button and nothing happened. Security was immediately there and I was told that no matter who I was, I needed a pass to get in. I shook my head and was immediately told that there were a number government contracts that required us to know who came and went and how long they stayed. Then I was told that they would sign me in and to please let them know when I left. I said thanks and the officer activated the elevator. Then I was told that it worked but that the lobby doors were set to deny access. Upstairs, I reviewed the daily numbers and then worked on the potential tour as security was correct we worked on classified shit. I would simply keep those areas off the tour. I was hoping Liam, Jim and I could conduct the tours. Just then my phone rang and it was Cole. I told him I would be home in 30 minutes. I did the security thing but wondered how we managed before this current group came on board. At my place I grabbed a beer and just sat on the loveseat and waited for Cole. I was actually thinking about JJ and how we needed some quality time as we haven't been alone in a while. Cole appeared before long and he was in a great mood and was pleases with how he played as both rounds were under par. Then he said but if they wanted to make it hard it could be really hard. He told stories and we laughed and had a great time together something we hadn't done in a long time. He asked about the game and I told him how physical it was but that we had achieved one of our goals in making it to the finals. Then I asked about Jessica and Cole simply lit up saying she was great and that he missed her on the trip. It was getting late and I asked Cole, what's really up? He got serious and said well I was invited to 6 more of these type of events and I turned them all down. Cole, couldn't you have accepted one of them. Then Cole said Mike, doing this for AP is one thing but it is hard and I'm on display the entire time and to be honest I wasn't golf ready. My game needs a lot of work and while I love the fans and the spectators they take a lot of my time and are exhausting. Cole, did you chat with AP or Fred about this and Cole said they were both concerned about all the demands on my time and thought I needed to find a way to simply hide out some and there are a number of player only areas at every tournament. Liam and I didn't have much time to talk until we were on our way back and that was because Mrs. Liam fell asleep. I laughed at that but Cole said Mike, those two are good for each other. Then Cole said thanks for listening and I'll see you for the run in the morning. Once Cole was gone I called JJ who answered laughing and said, damn I was just going to call you. So JJ are you missing me? He laughed again and replied MJ, we see a lot of each other just not the way I want to see you. So JJ how do you wanted to see me? There was more laughter and he said well without anyone else around for starters. It was my turn to laugh and I asked, so you free after practice tomorrow? He was quiet for a minute and then said absolutely, can I spend the night? I replied, well it's a date. With that we said good night and I jumped into the shower. The weather was typical for the season cold but dry and I really wanted it dry, the cold could be dealt with and was never a problem for me but JJ was always freezing. The run with Cole and JJ was at a fast pace as the temperature was in the low 20's and the high would remain just below or at freezing. Back inside my place I put coffee on and jumped into the shower and dressed in jeans and a sweatshirt and drove to school. There was no one hanging around outside the building as it was now cold and windy. Wind was the last thing we needed for football but that was days away and I simply went to my locker and then to class. English was a writing assignment and history was a lecture and discussion. Physics, now my favorite subject was another lab assignment and working with and being with Winnie was becoming more and more fun. There was a point where I was simply looking at her she nudged my hand and said Mike, focus on something besides me. I laughed and returned to the project. I skipped study hall and lunch and drove to the office. At the office while checking in with Security Chief Evans appeared and asked for a minute and we went into her office. She was very direct and said she hoped I understood the security needs better after last night and that there would be no exceptions even for me. I replied that while it was a pain in the ass I understood. Then she said that she was not pleased with the "Open House" and that a security officer would need to accompany each tour group. I said Chief, that fine but I need you to develop a meaningful tour route, one that shows off the building as we are doing this. She said Mike, I'll have that for you in the morning. I said thanks and went upstairs. I immediately found Liam and we started working on what we wanted to show people and the unique aspects of the inside of the building. Then Liam brought up something I hadn't considered which was the politicians. I immediately called The Major and asked him to stop in my office as Liam and I needed help with something. Jim said, I'll be there in a few as I have a call to make first. Liam and I laid out a path that we thought would work but was dependent on what the Chief came up with. When the Major appeared he immediately asked what we needed and I said the Politicians. Mike, select County, City and State officials will get an invite and at a specific time and to be honest, I hope they are too busy. Then he said Mike, I'll conduct the tour with the Mayor and the City people and I'm hoping you won't even see them. You can deal with the State people and Lim you will have the County people. Is there nothing else? Jim what about the Feds? He laughed nd said well the few Congressmen will be with you and the state people. Then I said Jim there is a State Senator, I want to be included. Jim laughed and said the Senator was the person I was talking with before I came up here and he will need a few minutes, something about testimony before an oversight committee. I laughed and said Jim, that's perfect. Mike, just so you know Dillon will be with Liam and Kyle will be with you. Jim, that's more than fine and thanks. At the door Jim stopped and said I forgot the add will be in every day starting Wednesday and Friday in the business section and a full page Thursday and Sunday, I'm hoping with the holiday and Friday shopping and hunting I'm hoping it won't get a ton of attention. Liam and I worked on fine tuning the event until I had to leave for practice. Practice was almost a duplicate of the day before but it was becoming very obvious that Wyatt was the starter and Jim was QB2 and possibly QB3 as Clark was getting as many snaps as Jim. Jim seemed all right with that as he spent a lot of time with the coaches and sending in plays. I was hoping that no matter what he would see some playing time, I thought he deserved that. I was amazed that Wyatt simply ran the plays he was given and I knew that he was chomping at the bit to throw longer passes and that cross field pass. Once we were done walking to the locker room, JJ and I decided to eat at The Tavern and then hang out at my place. We were scheduled to practice at 8:00 AM and the promise was that it wouldn't be a long event. JJ and I showered and I was glad to see that Wyatt had a ride with Todd. JJ and I drove to the Tavern and I was starving but the Ruben and fries did the trick and it was iced tea and there would be beer at my place and I was betting a lot more. Once we finished eating JJ went home to get clothes for the morning practice and I headed to my place. JJ wasn't long and when he arrived he simply threw his backpack in a corner and pulled me my feet and led me right to the bedroom. I was glad there wasn't a trail of clothes but we were naked in a flash and it was hard to tell who's erection was harder. We sat on the bed and were making out and it was hot and intense but neither of us made a move to more intense things. I didn't know about JJ but I was very close to flipping him on his stomach and entering that tight hole. Then me move to my neck kissing and licking and when he got to my nips I was leaking and simply took over and pulled him to his feet turned him around. He was on his stomach with his ass over the side of the bed and using the gobs of precum as lube gently entered his ass. I started slow and he was moaning with pleasure so I kept that pace but it didn't take long as I needed this with JJ and eventually I shot a load deep in him and collapsed on top of him. We laid there and he smiled and said well those magic buttons still work as every time I get near them you simply take over. I laughed and said ok but saddle up as I'm going for a ride and I leaned down and swallowed his semi hard cock and when he was hard again I straddled him and lowered my ass and slid his cock up my ass. Then I reached behind me and slapped him and said you can't just lay there. He immediately started bucking and it was a fun ride. I leaned in and kissed him and while my tongue was in his mouth he shot a big load in my ass and I let his softening cock slide out of me. I rolled over and pulled the covers up and we kissed some more and soon we were fast asleep in each other's arms. Sometime during the night I woke to a strange feeling in my ass and when I stirred JJ whispered, fuck I was wondering when you would wake up and he pushed his cock in my ass and pulled me tight and slowly worked my ass until there was another load in my ass and soon enough the alarm was sounding and it was time for practice. We showered together but it was just that a shower and once I was done leaking cum I dried off and dress in clothes that would meet the dress code at work. Naturally we took separate cars to practice, well for appearances and because I was going to the office. At practice everyone was on time and in pads and helmets and ready to start at 8:00. The mood was different as this could be our last practice in pads as a team. The level of hitting picked up and I wondered if people were settling scores or if it was just the different mood. I wasn't playing those games and just settled in for a normal practice. The QB situation remained unchanged but that wasn't my call. I was simply staying out of everything. Coach called us together and asked if would want an early or late practice Friday and the overwhelming choice was early and when he said it was films and a walkthrough someone asked, who is bringing the popcorn and everyone laughed. At the office I almost cleared Security but was handed a case which contained my laptop. I was also handed an envelope and I went upstairs to my office. Amy said hello and that she understood I was working late last night. I asked, so why is that an issue? She laughed and said well read your message from the Chief. I set the envelop aside and turned on the computer but when I tried to log in my password didn't look. I opened the envelop and the note said "leaving your laptop in the office is one thing leaving it on is another, please be more careful" It was signed Chief Evans. There was another envelop and it had PASSWORD written on it. I opened it and there was a piece of paper that said, "MEW PASSWORD" when I saw the new password I laughed out loud it was ENTITLED18 in all caps. I got the message but left the password as I simply loved it. On my desk was the information that I needed from the Chief and Liam and I adjusted our plans for the tours to conform more closely with those of the Chief. I was hungry but called Winnie and asked if she wanted an early dinner and she said sure as long as it wasn't South Hills. I said ok and asked if she would approve of Oakmont? I was surprised when she said sure but then she added that she needed to be home early as her Uncle and Aunt were in. I agreed and asked if I could pick her up at 4:15 and dinner would be 5:00 and I would have her home well before 7:00. With that done. I found Kyle and we had a long chat about things and we both felt things were going along smoothly. Dillon however was pissed as he had just finished a commercial for the grade book thing and he suggested that someone else be the face of that and I laughed.I called Oakmont and made 5:00 dinner reservations. I headed to my place and changed into a suit and tie and went to Winnie's. She was ready and we simply left for the Club. Sorry for the delay as there was a project at home, painting the basement, and then the NCAA'S were in Pittsburgh. I'll try to do better. Thanks for reading and for the notes.
