Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2022 21:12:12 +0000 (UTC) From: Mike Simmons Subject: It was always about the bets 339 At the house, I found Megan and gave her a big hug and thanked her for the Jeep and for managing dad with little drama. She smiled and said, well you deserve a nice holiday and Mike and I don't fight, well we haven't had a fight yet. I am hoping it would stay that way. I went to my place and put on some classical music and laid on the loveseat and eventually fell asleep. I woke around 5:00 and went right to my desk and continued my CMU programming course and as with all foreign language I struggled just a bit. After three hours I was close to being finished but needed a break and called JJ and laughed when it went to voicemail. If he was still setting up for the party, I really felt sorry for him. I checked in with Winnie and she asked what I was wearing and I told her blue blazer, no tie. She said great as I didn't want to get totally dressed up. Then she said Mick, I won't be able to spend the night. Pretended to pout but really was glad as I had a family and football day on the first. Once we hung up I looked at the project and shrugged and poured an iced tea changed the music to a calm classical and sat on the loveseat. I was really enjoying just sitting there and listening to calm music. All of a sudden the door flew open and I jumped about a foot in the air and JJ went to the refrigerator and grabbed a beer saying I'll need about 6 of these. The damn rents are driving me nuts and next time they have a party they need to think about it ahead or time. Ok JJ, what you wearing tomorrow.? MJ, that's another thing as I need to put on a jacket and nice pants and I told them I was staying home if I had to wear a tie. JJ, great job as I'm not doing the tie thing either. MJ, Mia is picking up Winnie and I would appreciate if you could help with the clean up. JJ that's not a problem. On Thursday I need to pick up the new Jeep and I told them first thing. I though we could take the Jet to the Winery and come back home Saturday or Sunday. MJ, we taking the women? JJ, no fucking way in hell. He got another beer and he asked if I had a gift for Chuck? I said a gift card to Toys R' Us so he could buy video games. MJ, I'll go half and I said well you owe me $35 or just buy dinner some night. He laughed and said deal. He finished his third beer and said MJ, I'll see you tomorrow around 7:00. JJ let me know if you need help tomorrow. Once JJ had left I realized I was wide awake and would pay for that longish nap. I needed a refill of my drink and changed to ice water. Then I got the legal pad and looked at notes I had written and tore the page off and crinkled it into a ball and tosses it in the direction of the trash can and managed to hit the floor. I laughed and thought, well that's why you don't play basketball. Thinking of what I was faced with as the new year started the COO position was the most important. That would be followed by the new buildings. The least important thing was the Harrisburg hearing on high school sports. However, that was by far the most visible and would get the most interest. It would also have an impact on every aspect of the company and my image. With that in my head I decided to start working to get information. I would check with the Major and especially Tim as I wanted their budget and their operating handbook with their constitution and by-laws. Then I thought I would ask Doc Johnson for some details on our class like graduation rate post high school education and that stuff. I was also aware from the request for my opening statement that there was a Senator and one Representative that would need managed, politely yet firmly. With that leaned back took a deep breath and listened to the music of Bach. It was one of my favorites CONCERTO FOR TWO VIOLINS. Then with a long day head of me I stripped and jumped into bed. I was blasted awake by aloud bang. It took me a couple of seconds as thunder in late December was more than unusual. If the storm was snow it would cancel just about everything. Rain would be better, by a lot. I looked out the window and laughed as it was both rain and snow. Now it all depended on the temperature. I called the airport asked about the weather and was told heavy rain till around 5:00. I thanked the guy and asked that the jet be ready for 1:00 on Thursday. I pulled on jeans and a hoodie and went to the house. Cole was eating breakfast and I got coffee and asked dude, what you doing tonight? Cole shrugged and said, babysitting Ashley so mom and dad can go to the event the Major is having. So a romantic evening with Jessica? Well a movie and popcorn but she gets to spend the night and I sleep in the game room. MJ, I guess you are going to the event? Yup, I'm meeting Winnie there as her and Mia are coming and leaving together. MJ, when you going to New York? Cole after I pick up the Wrangler on Thursday and be back late Saturday or early Sunday. Then it's back to school and work. Cole, have you talked to mom about the going to Harrisburg? MJ, yes and I'm going and so is dad but they are driving and staying Thursday evening. Cole what about Ashley? Oh, she will be in the car with them. Can I please fly up with you, I would go nuts in the car with all that for 3 hours. Cole, JJ, Tim and the Major will be traveling with me but you are welcome. Cole laughed and said great and at least there will be one real pilot on board. I shook my head and and went back to my place. I but coffee on and did some exercises then it was a shower, coffee and I was going stir crazy. I actually hated the day as there was nothing to do except to wait for the evening events. It was an artificial end to the year and tomorrow would be a fun day but it wasn't really the start of anything, just the next day with a big dinner and lots of football and family. As good as it was I needed to do something. Then I was wondering if we could get away from Chuck for a day and go skiing. Something, anything that involved exercise. I was about to fall asleep when my phone rang and it was JJ. As soon as I answered he yelled, HELP. I laughed and asked, so what do you need? MJ, the tables and chairs for tonight just arrived and they piled them in the lobby can you please help me set up? JJ I'm on my way and will be there in 30 minutes or less. When I got there I talked with the only security guy there and he said that JJ had worked his ass off for two days and was amazed that this was being pulled off on such short notice. I smiled and said well it's our military at work. He shook his head and JJ appeared and said grab some chairs. I too 4 folding chairs and was astounded as there was a small bar and some decorations. In all there were 6 round tables and 50 chairs. That wasn't hard but the tables were awkward and needed both of us. Then there were 2 rectangular tables that were for food. I asked about the food and JJ just started laughing. MJ, it will be cooked here and the music is a military band. Fuck, there are 4 Admirals and 2 Generals coming and they had to outdo each other. In theory they all volunteered, everyone working tonight is here to kiss ass. We finished and it didn't take long but I knew JJ needed help and some company. JJ said thanks nd the he had to hang around for a bit and once the cooks arrived he could leave and they were expected at 1:00. I checked the time and that was a 90 minute wait. I asked JJ about the cooks and how that was possible without ruining the building? MJ, dad worked that out and they are using the loading dock, with the door open. JJ thought he was walking me out and I stopped at security and asked Tom (security guy) if it was complicated for me to get to my office? He said, not at all and asked if I would be going anywhere else? I said nope and that we were going to hang out there and when the crew came for JJ just to call my office. The elevator was turned back on and I knew it would only work to let us off on 4. These guys were good and heck, starting tomorrow they would be working for the company. We walked by empty office after empty office and when we got to my office JJ went right to the window and out the door to look at the view. I went to my desk grappled the remote pushed two buttons and the door locked and the blinds came down leaving just the glass walls to the outside for light. I then stripped and sat in a club chair and waited. When JJ returned he saw me and laughed. So MJ, I guess we aren't simply hanging out. JJ not at all as I have wanted to have sex in this office for months and if I remember correctly you owe me a task. So dude suck my cock. MJ, do I need to be naked? Well that's up to you for the moment but whatever you choose, do it quickly as I want those lips making love to my cock. JJ wasted no time getting naked and he knelt in front of me but his hands on my tries and leaned in and kissed the tip of my cock which had been had since we got off the elevator. Then he kissed his way to my balls and he kissed each of them and then ran his tongue up my shaft and kissed the head of my cock again. Then his tongue started on my piss hole and that had me leaking. JJ, made eye contact and put my cock head in his mouth and dove balls deep. I thought fuck he didn't even gag, then he pulled off and did that a couple more time and I was close but wanted his ass so I said stop and stand up. I stood up and had him kneel on the seat of the club chair nd put his chest over the chair back. I knelt down and spit a couple of times on his hole then as I was still leaking added some precum to his hole. Then I positioned my cock at his hole grabbed his shoulders and drove my 7-1/2 inched in till my balls slapped against his ass and there was a loud grunt. Then I pulled all the way out and slowly reentered his hole and started to fuck him slowly and increases the pace with every stroke. Sadly, it didn't take long and with my balls up against his ass I delivered a big load in his gut and collapsed on top of him. When we, well when I, recovered and stood up JJ grabbed my hand took me to the window and kissed me saying MJ, I wish we had a place to live with this view. With that I knelt down and started to suck JJ as he looked out the window at the city until my mouth was filled and we kissed and shared the load. We quickly dressed and I raised the blinds and unlocked the door. We were sitting and chatting and I asked JJ, is this sex situation we are in complicated for you? He shook his head and said well not as complicated for me as it is for you. Fuck dude, everything is overly complicated for you as you worry about more than I do. Dude, I have no intention of coming out as bi or gay or anything in high school but that could easily happen in college. A lot will be determined about our future teammates and I'm sure there are gay and bi dudes on that team. You have business issues and as I'm totally serious about the NFL and what those people think I'm playing it close to the vest. What about the women in our lives. JJ smiled and said well they will have to understand that you and me are a packaged deal. Do they need to know what we do together. It isn't like Chuck's dad where it is random sex and paying for it. Well JJ, David Cummings was a piece of work in more areas that hiring gay professionals. Changing the subject I asked if he wanted to go to Harrisburg next Thursday night for the hearing on Friday. He shrugged and said, why not. Hell your sexy when you do those things. I said thanks as it will be a full plane and I don't want your old man watching over everything I do flying up there. Just then my desk phone rang and it was Tom at security saying he was at the loading dock and they needed to talk with JJ. He said, Mike use the freight elevator as it will be easier and I just sent it to the 4th floor. I said thanks and JJ and I headed down. As soon as we got there JJ showed them around and I was amazed at the portable refrigerators, warmers and the large propane griddle. I watched JJ as he simply told them what they needed to do and didn't seem concerned about what they thought. This was a side of him I hadn't seen. When he was satisfied things were in order he said MJ, let's get out of here. I said, sure and I'm guessing you are done giving orders? MJ, these dudes can't stand us military brats but in this case they need me happy or they will find themselves cooking somewhere in the Middle East and not in the officers mess here in the states. I laughed at that and drove to my place. As soon as I got to my place it was a shower and again I shaved. I avoided my scale and the mirror and put on jeans and a sweatshirt and went to work on items I needed to talk about at the hearing. I was parsing every word always looking for a calm way to get my point across. I wanted to read the PAAA's mission statement and start by focusing on that and seeing how well they lived up to that. Then there was Title IX and finally their non-profit status. When I thought of all that I knew I would nail their asses to the wall. As I was considering all that Winnie called and she immediately asked if I was mad about tonight. Winnie, I figured your Uncle was in town so you were behaving. Mick, he is and will be here all next week on business but as you put it "it's the good news time of the month". I laughed and asked about Mia. Well Mick, he has been horny ever since the trip to Texas. Willie, that's because he didn't hook up on the trip and Mia is in his head 24/7. Ok Mick, I'll pass that along and I'll see you around 7:00. I sat there knowing I needed to talk with JJ but decided on another long shower as I was sweaty from moving furniture. I dressed in grey slacks and a light blue shirt and but the blazer on the kitchen chair. I was concerned about security and needed it appropriate but not over done. This thing was on the first floor so all they really needed to do was shut down the elevators and secure the stairwells. I headed for the office and parked in my spot and went inside to find 9 security people working and I immediately went looking for the Chief. Chief Evans was in her office and I knocked on the door and she stood and said Mike have a seat. I sat down and asked why so many people working? Mike they all wanted to work as they wanted to be here at midnight to celebrate their new jobs and tonight is a middle finger to our former company as they are paying for security at this big military event. I smiled and thought about how that would be passed along to the company but said that's great. So Mike, will you be needing your office? Chief, the conference room will work as I am not expecting to be working tonight but please turn on the CONE OF SILENCE just in case. She laughed and said ok, but I hate that sound masking system as it makes security more difficult. Well Chief, enjoy your evening. Mike, what about the media as there will be a few of them here? Chief, keep them in the lobby and they can do their thing and I will appear like magic at 7:30 say hello and send them on their way. She laughed and said well I can't wait to see that. In the common room I noticed that the buffet tables were moved into the hall and Major Messer came up to me and said thanks for letting this happen. Mike, I'm sorry but you might have to work a bit tonight. Jim, I expected that so it's fine. Jim, I need a favor as I need the PIAA Mission Statement and their Budget. He laughed and said Mike, just talk with Tim, he has been working on that and I know he has all that. I said thanks. I found JJ and laughed when I saw we were dressed alike, well except he had boots and I had loafers. People started to come in and the Major introduced me to a number of people and I realized this would be more than a "bit" of work. It was easy friendly conversation until an Admiral in uniform came up to me and said hi Mike, I'm and I said Alex Forster. Son that's Admiral Forster. Oh, sorry sir, I didn't mean to offend but I'm Mike Simmons and I'm not your son or one of the thirtysomethings that you can push around. So Admiral, what do you need? Well, I was hoping you could entertain my daughter tonight? Well Admiral, I have a date tonight. Just then I saw Winnie and waver her over. Admiral Forster, this is my girlfriend Winnie Tillison. We have known each other since 3rd grade. Well Winning, I hope you wouldn't mind if Mike spent some time with my daughter. I knew Winnie was pissed and she said Admiral, I would mind and I don't like my boyfriend taken advantage of like that. Please find some unattached officer to tend to your needs. Well young lady, my daughter has a special interest in Mike. Now I was mad and said Admiral, I spent parts of 2 evenings with your daughter and I have no interest in spending time with her. She has hit on me more than once and all the while wearing a significant rock on her left ring finger. Son, there is no need to be rude. Alex, I wasn't rude just unable to help you. Oh, if you insist on calling me son I will insist on using your first name. Mike, do you know who I am? Sir I know when you graduated from the academy, you class ranking and that you haven't been on a naval vessel in more that 10 years. Mike, you are then aware that I have a bit of say over some of the contracts your company currently holds. I smiled and said well I bet you are unaware that those contracts have at least 5 years to run and that you will be retired when they come up for renewal. If not, by then, I'll have you removed from your current position. He laughed and I said well, if that's how you feel, I'll start that process tonight. I took Winnie's hand and joined JJ and Mia at a table. Almost immediately Major Messer came over with two guys and I immediately I recognized Admiral Turley and I knew the other guy from somewhere and then it hit me and I said good evening Admiral Hulley. We shook hands and said well tonight Mike please call me Tom. I laughed and said well that is different than my last conversation. All three laughed and Tom said well Alex has a blind spot for that daughter. I heard he tried to influence you with a threat? Tom, Winnie and I handled him and Alex doesn't worry me. Well Mike he shouldn't as he will be transferred to the Pentagon and it's a lateral move into building management. Most guys would simply get the message and retire. Then Tom said Mike, I here from the people at the Cape you can fly jets pretty well. I laughed and said well not really. Well Mike if you get to Pensacola, I'll get you a back seat with the blue angles. Wow, Admiral that would be a bucket list item. Well Mike, thanks for having us again and I'll make sure Alex hears you had a part in his transfer. He will find out bout that mid next week, enjoy the evening. When I sat back down JJ said Mike, if you get a Blue Angle ride you better let me tag long. JJ, always as your my wingman. Then I looked t the time and I said, shit I almost forgot I need to deal with the local press. Winnie asked if she could tag along nd I shrugged and said sure. In the lobby there were 3 reporters and I said good evening don't you guys have something better to do than see who comes to this small impromptu event. There was laughter and one of them said well small but the guys in that room could lead one hell of a war. Look, all these people were in town for a wedding and when a number of them decided to stay over Major Messer set this up on the fly. Mike, what do you have in store for us with the new year? I said not much to start and there will be an announcement mid week about the buildings. Mike, what will the building look like? Guys just a few more days but we will not be starting real soon. Well Mike, the Mayor has indicated otherwise. Guys please look at the deed and see if the Mayor owns the damn property. He needs to stop talking about my land and potential building and do something constructive for our city and region. So far that's a pretty clean slate of achievements. Happy New Yer and I took Winnie by the hand and turned to walk away when some yelled Mike, who is the girl. I turned around and said guys, my bad, this is Winnie Tillison. Winnie does your dad own a large accounting firm? Winnie said, he owns an accounting firm and we walked away. So how long have you two been dating. Winnie turned her head as she walked and said a couple of months, Happy New Year. I laughed and said babe, you know that will be in the paper tomorrow. She smiled and said, I hope so. Back inside it was a slow song so we danced and it was a great band and for the most part the music was from the 60's and 70's and damn you could dance to that shit. The food was great and the last song before midnight was Auld Lang Syne. Then at midnight it was Happy New Year from the group ABBA. Around 12:45 Winnie and Mia said good night and JJ and I walked them to the car. Almost everyone started to leave and Karen tried to get me to dance and I refused and she stormed off to her dad. A crew appeared at 1:30 and in an hour you would not have known there was a party. It was almost 3:00 when I headed to my place and clothes were tossed in the corner and I was in bed and quickly asleep. I was up just after 10:00 and took a quick shower and made coffee. I checked my phone and had messages from Major Messer and Winnie. I called the Major first and he thanked me for the use of the building. Jim it's never a problem for you and you know that but what's up? Mike would you consider taking the twin prop plane and not the Jet? Jim why do you want that? Mike, I would just feel more comfortable as you two don't have all that many hours in the Jet. Jim, I already asked for the Jet with wheels up at 1:00. Mike, please I'll be worried the entire time you two are in the air. I thought for a minute and said ok, but you are going to need to adjust to the Jet. Thanks Mike, I'll make the changes. I called Winnie and she was really excited as our picture was in both papers. Mick, they called us a dynamic young power couple. There were a couple, of quotes from you and me saying how long we were dating. Mick, it in her Lifestyle Section of the papers. I thought damn I was hoping for the business section. At the house it was a great day with lots of family time and a ton of college football. Dad at one point asked if I thought I could play at that level and I said dad, absolutely. Then I noted that VT didn't have a New Years game and told dad that needed to change. Dinner was a pork roast, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes and apple pie. I was wondering who was of German descent. Then around 10:00 I asked dad if he could take me to the dealership at 9:00 tomorrow morning to get my new ride and he eagerly agreed. I said goodnight and went to my place and packed for the trip and jumped into bed. Thank you all for reading and for the comments as they are appreciated.
