Date: Fri, 20 Oct 2023 00:56:34 +0000 (UTC) From: Mike Simmons Subject: It was always about the bets 389 I was thrilled to get out of the office and while things were going well, I wanted and needed to spend less time there. I pulled into the parking lot at the gym at the same time as JJ and laughed as he seemed rushed. He looked at me and said damn, I thought I was late. Inside we went straight to our lockers threw on a jock, gym shorts, a tee and shoes. Neither of us bothered with socks. We took our time stretching and chatting about our day. With that done it was all serious and two very intense workouts. When we were done both our tees were soaked and our shorts were more than damn. JJ looked at me and he said MJ that was awesome and we high fived. At the lockers we both quickly stripped and grabbed towels and without thinking draped them around our necks and headed to the sauna. The place was virtually empty and I expected the same. I opened the door to the sauna and stopped dead in my tracks as there sat Wyatt and Todd. JJ walked right into me as he wasn't paying attention. That bump focused me and I said, hi guys. And sat opposite them. JJ laughed and ask so when did the two of you start coming here? Wyatt shrugged and said about a week ago. Todd said, I workout at school so QB1 has me here as a guest, That made me wonder but we all just sat there quietly. Finally JJ asked, so eaglet, why here as you have everything you need at your place and then there is school? Wyatt shook his head and said JJ I lost those baby feathers a while back and you should know that as I'm the only QB with an arm strong enough that if you run full speed you don't have to wait for the ball and I have 2 rings as a freshman. Anyone else here able to say that? I had enough and said well QB1, with an ego like that there won't be another ring. All quarterbacks have 3 jobs; hand the ball off, complete a few passes and kiss the asses of their offense line so that you are healthy to be able to play the next week. Wyatt, I know there is more to it than that but those are the basics. Wyatt just looked at me for a moment then said Mike, the school gym is filthy and I need away from my granddad. Dad agreed and paid for this membership so here I sit. Is that a problem? I smiled and said not for me. JJ looked at me and said MJ, let's get something to eat and he got up and started for the door and I followed. At the lockers I asked JJ, why did you leave? MJ. They were both tenting those towels and we were in the way and I am hungry. Let's get decent and go to that joint in Greentree and get some food. We dropped my car at my place and I climbed into JJ's truck and 25 minutes later we were inside the bar. It was the usual greeting and the usual beer and the usual menu. Then I just laughed and JJ asked so what's so funny? I just shook my head and said, I'm just tired of the same old stuff. With rare exceptions we eat at green same three places and I really need to do something different. JJ laughed and said dude, you have to put up with it for 4 mor months. The waitress came over and JJ ordered the Italian delight and fries and I ordered a fish sandwich with tarter sauce and said, I'll eat his fries. As we waited for our food and nursed our beers JJ asked MJ, what the fuck is Senior skip day? JJ it's exactly as it says the seniors simply don't go to school. It happens every year. JJ, it's always a Friday so just sleep in or something, just don't go to school. Dude, didn't you have something like that in Texas? MJ, I guess but it was the opposite and we picked a day and everyone showed up. It was all classes not just Seniors. We talked about VT and what we thought football would be like. Then JJ asked what I was doing Friday and is shrugged and said Winnie flamed the day. I'm not sure yet. What you doing? He shrugged and said working, I guess. We finished eating and I tried to pay the bill with the usual results so I left a tip and we started for my place. JJ, couldn't stay as he had things to do so I went to my place and called Cole. I figured it was late enough that he was done practicing. I punched in Cole's number and on the third ring Liam answered saying that they were just back from dinner and Cole was in the shower. I asked how things were and Liam said that things were great as his tee time was almost in the middle of the pack and Cole's only concern is if he can go low enough as he feels this is an easy course. Mike, it will take a low, really low number to win like - 15 or so. Liam, he doesn't have to win or even make the cut, just turn him loose and see what happens. Mike, I'll have him call you back and you can tell him that. All I know is that he is hitting it very well. Liam, just have him call me but I bet he tells me he has a plan and I should stay out of it. Mike, he told me he is tired being the first looser. I shook my head and said Liam, hang in there. It was about 10 minutes later when Cole called back and I answered with, hey Pro how the fuck you doing? He laughed and said, just living the dream. So Cole can you win this week? MJ, I'll have to shoot about 4 under every day but this place fits my eye and I like the greens unless they fuck them up tonight. Mike, then I have reached all the 5's in two. Basically I hope that 16 is low enough. Cole, just have fun and just so you know your phone also calls out. Oh, call you mom. I could see Cole shaking his head and I said good night and hung up. I laughed when I thought, if Cole wins one of these three events the Masters will be something else. A 17 would have to be in the conversation as a possible winner. I still had school work to do which was about 30 minutes in history. I simply grabbed an iced tea and started doing that. Much like English it was a review for the AP test. I breezed threw the stuff as I was very good in history. I knew bit served me well but my best subject was advanced math. I had tested out of everything math related and had 12 Comp Sei credits and wanted 3 more. That reminded me to talk with the Dean to see if that was possible. Just then my phone buzzed and when I looked it was Kyle. I said hi, what's up? Mike I just finished with the shirt Tim gave me on your Principal. Just a heads up, I'll have him in for an interview. Pleas stay out of it but I just wanted you to know in case it comes up. I said, no problem. Then Kyle asked so how does Tim get all this. Kyle I get stuff all the time but honestly, I have no idea. It's best not to know, so I'm told. Thanks for the heads up and good night. I was laying on my bed thinking about the weekend when I remembered about lunch with Mr. Tillison. I wasn't worried about him knowing all about my finances as he wouldn't know about my personal accounts so any estimate of my wealth wouldn't reflect that. He would know about the company an have some understanding of Enterprises. Besides all that. It has never been as. Issue between Winnie and me. Hell it has never come up. I immediately put that out of my head before a comparison was made with former girlfriends. Again, I was tired and decided to find a suit for lunch. What I discovered had me unhappy as everything needed taken to the cleaners and the only choice was a blue blazer and grey slacks. Thankfully I had a clean white dress shirt there were a number of ties that would work and I selected a grey one with small red diamonds and cordovan shoes. Just as I was about to jump into bed my phone went off and when I looked at the number it was David Fey from the USGA. I answered and said, good evening David. Mike, I'm sorry to call so late, I'm in California and forgot about the time difference. I was wondering if you would be available this weekend as I'll be in Pittsburgh and wanted to stop by Oakmont to check on things. I've already talked with Carole and she is available. I took a deep breath and said sure. I'm not sure about the weather but we could have lunch and see how the course is progressing but I'm sure we could host the tournament next week. David laughed and said, I'm sure you could. I'm not concerned about the course but we need to check on locations for the suits and the grandstands. I thought that strange as they always go in the same locations. We agreed on meeting at 10:00 and he said that there was a private room for lunch so that business attire wasn't required. I was unhappy but it was what it was. We hung up and I went to bed. Being in bed and falling asleep weren't compatible tonight as there was too much going on and I couldn't do much about any of it. I eventually fell asleep and was up with the alarm. Looking out the window it was a complete down pour and I knew the run was off so I reset the alarm and jumped back into bed. When the alarm woke me I jumped right into the shower and dressed in wet gear. I waited for the coffee and was off to school. The plan was to get through the morning, hurry home and dress for lunch. Hopefully I would have a chance to talk with the Pro and find out about this Saturday meeting. At school I pulled into the parking lot at the same time as JJ and he got out laughing. The rain had stopped he came up to me and said MJ, why are you dreaded in plastic. I shook my head and didn't say anything as there was a bolt of lightning filled almost instantly by a loud clap of thunder. JJ jumped and asked, does this mean an early spring? I shrugged and as it started to rain again we both ran inside. It started as a normal day, whatever that meant but at the end of English there was a knock on the classroom door and Coach Weston was there asking if I could stop my his office mid next period. I smiled and said sure. That was actually inconvenient as I would have to leave in the middle of class and thankfully coach handed me a note to get me out of class. I knew that this was about the team and he wanted to know what I knew and what I thought. I went to history class and handed the teacher the note and he just shook his head and said, no problem. History class was actually interesting as the topic was David L. Lawrence, the mayor on Pittsburgh in the 1950's and he lead the revival of the city called the renaissance which rebuilt Gateway Center and turned the Point into a park from an industrial slum. Regardless I had to go meet with the coach. When I got to the office Nancy stood up and came over to me and I got a big hug. Then she said Mike, go easy on him he is hurt, pissed off, disgusted and depressed. I smiled and asked so how has been in here this morning? Mike, Wyatt, Todd and Josh and it started before first period even before I got here. I sadly shook my head and as the door was open I looked in and it was obvious Coach was a mess. When he looked up I kinda got a smile and he said, Mike thanks for coming and have a seat. I took a seat and said Coach, it looks like you are having a rough day, what's happening? Coach laughed out loud and said Mike, nothing happens in this building that you don't know about or are not involved with, so why don't you tell me. I decided nicely to fire back at him, just a bit. Ok coach 2 of the three football players who visited you earlier today knocked on my door earlier this week. I'm not going to tell you what that said or asked. However, I told them that you have just been the coach of the team that won 2 District Championships and a State championship and you deserved the opportunity to coach, if that is what you wanted. I also told them that in my opinion the School Board would not replace you. Finally, I told them to talk with Doc. Now, why am I here, or do you just need to vent? Mike, I want you to stay out of this and tell anyone and everyone to talk with me. I smiled and said ell the best you will get from me is that I will continue to tell everyone to talk with Doc. I have only talked with two team members in the last two months so I haven't been involved and to be perfectly honest, I don't want to be involved I have way too much on my plate to give a fuck about what goes on around here and I made a big mistake not leaving with my diploma in mid January. Now you need to understand that there are two people who could get you fired and neither of us will be here next year. So figure it out on your own but you won't win without those three guys who paid you a visit this morning. I got up to leave and I stopped at the door and turned, looked him right in the eye, and said Coach, you are better that this figure it out. By the way players win games not coaches. Then I added if you don't win next year everyone will say it was just a group of great athletes. Have a great day and I left closing the door. Outside Nancy asked so how did it go? I smiled and said Nancy, it took me two seconds to decide on hard love. This wasn't my fault but he needs to update his approach by two decades. Nancy just looked at me and I went straight to the office and signed out for work. I was starting to hate this place. Back at my place, with time to spare, I put on some coffee and jumped into the shower. I washed my hair and shaved. I had that look that I liked, the one that made people underestimate me. The thing at school wasn't an act as I was passed and they needed to let Chuck be AD and find a coach. I was determined to stay the fuck out of it. I was quickly dress and managed to tie the fucking tie on the first attempt. I would take the Mustang to the Club and play some Classical music and hoped I was more relaxed. TOUGH LOVE was not in the cards yet I wasn't happy about the Saturday meeting. 3 months out there should be no decisions and it wasn't like this hadn't been done before. Traffic was more than reasonable and just keeping up with the fast pace on Rt 28 made the 40 minute trip a good bit shorter. At the Club I simply parked and went to the Pro shop and was glad that the rain had ended and in fact the sun was now out and the temperature had gone up. It was actually very pleasant. In the Pro shop I asked if Bob was there? The assistant, I didn't know, said he would check and he asked who I was apologizing for not knowing my nam but that Monday was his first day. He said he was Brian Kline. We shook hands and I introduced myself as Mike Simmons and immediately I saw by his reaction that it was a significant event. He said that Bob was in his office and that he would let him know that I was here. Brian returned saying Mike, Bob says just to go back to his office. I said thanks and went back. Bob and I shook hands and he said have a seat and he sat beside me in the other guest chair. Bob smiled and said Mike you are in a tough position as you are cochair of the Woman's open, representing us and are on the USGA Executive Committee. Bob, why is David here, what could he possibly want? It should be all set. Mike it is set he wants to add additional suits and grand stands and every other sentence with him includes the word BRIDGE. Mike, the bridge thing will work out in due time but this isn't the time. Bob, I know that and I'm one of the members who could build the damn thing but I get it. Mike, here is something that you should know but there are only 5 people who know this and you will be the 5th. At some point the USGA will make public demands about the bridge. The next day PGA of America will hold the 2000 Championship here. Mike, if that happens it might damage our relationship with the USGA and that would cause a lot of grief. Ok, is that final or still be negotiated? Mike, it's very close but AP and I are against holding that event. Bob, do we care about the suits and grandstands? Attendance will be up as tickets sales are way up. Bob laughed and said Mike, that because of the games you played with tickets. I shrugged and Bob said we would rather not have the additional 16 suits. I said well I have a lunch meeting, I'll see what I can do? Inside the clubhouse, I was immediately approached by Clark who said Mike your guys is here and I seated him with a view of the course. I said thanks and was led to the table. John Tilison was dressed in a blue suit, white shirt and red tie, we shook hands and I was glad to see he had what I assumed was a Manhattan. I ordered an iced tea and asked John, we talking then eating or eating and talking. John laughed and said, heck I can multi task? When my drink arrive John ordered a shrimp pasta and a side salad. I ordered a Caesar Salad. As soon as we were alone John said he was surprised that I wanted to explore a business arrangement in light of my personal relationship with his daughter. John, I have thought about it but you already know a lot about the company and how we conduct business. Winnie hasn't even brought up the business and money. I assure you that if she does I will tell her that she will know everything once she signs the pre nuptial agreement and until then it is none of her business. John laughed and said Mike, you have to know that won't go over well. John, it is what it will become but right now I'm good however that turns out. I'm just not ready to make a further commitment at this time. I don't see Winnie as an issue in what I would ask you to do. So Mike you see this as a high school relationship? John, Winnie and I have an understanding about the possibilities and I would suggest you discuss it with her. Now can we get to business? Mike, I don't object to your relationship with Winnie and you are right I should talk with her. So what is it you need from us? John, I need to know what the options are. Dad owns 49% and I own the rest. What I need to know is what the company is worth, should I want to sell or if an offer comes. Mike, what if your dad don't want to sell? John, he will if he has no say but tell me what the options are if he don't. I'm not looking to sell, I just want to know what I can and can't do. This football at VT might be too complicated and I want to know all my options. Mike, tax season is upon us and we are swamped, when would you like all this information? Just then the food arrived and we started to eat. Then I said John, sooner rather that later but no later that My 15th. Mike, what has you worried? John, how things will run with me 90 minutes away by private jet. There will be 2 new buildings and the restaurant along with the Marina. Then there are a couple of business expansions at the company. I have a great team and I trust them but I can't be on call 24/7 and I have football goals and want to actually experience college. More than classes and football. Ok Mike, we can meet that time frame but need cooperation. John Tim will make sure you get all the cooperation you need. Mike, that includes your other company. We will need to understand who owns what and to make sure if you sell you aren't selling something you don't want to sell. John, Tim will make all that happen. John, what would it take to take the company company? John laughed and said Mike, that's much more complicated and involves you many government contracts so let's do the other thing first. Besides all that needs done first anyway. Mike, I'll have my people put together a proposal and I assume you are paying for this. John that's correct and just send it to Tim. We chatted about things in general and his brother in law, Bill. Just as we were finishing our drinks David Fay came over and I introduced John. I was not conducting business with David and kept it very informal. At one point John asked if David was a member? David said well I'm here enough I should be but I'm the Executive Director of the USGA and we have 2 tournaments hers in the next two years and Mike, is on our committee and the Club's committee for both events. Then DVIs said, I have a conference call and Mike, I'll see you Saturday. We shook hands and David was on his way. John looked and me and asked Mike, how did all that happen? John I have friends in high places besides I'm young and golf needs that. John laughed and said well you are the most mature 18 year old ever, I bet they have their hands full. I took John to his car the long way so he could see the Clubhouse. At his car we shook hands and we got into our cars. Now that it was late afternoon traffic was much heavier. I didn't go into town but crossed the bridge using the Highland Park Bridge. Then it was east Oakland and Squirrel Hill then through Homestead and finally across RT 51 and to my place. I immediately stripped and put sweat pants on, no underwear. Then I threw in a tee and collapsed on the loveseat.I needed to call Cole but it was too early and I wanted JJ to come over but he would be working or eating dinner. That left Winnie and I placed that call. When she answered she asked so how was lunch? I laughed and said Winnie you dad said we should have sex tonight. So Mick, how many Manhattans did that take? Oh, only 4 and we both laughed. Before she coils say anything I asked what we doing tomorrow? Well Mick, I think dad had a great idea and I was hoping we could simply hang out at your place. How about a late lunch and then just time together at your place. Mick, nothing fancy and not the usual places, I'm sure you can figure that out. Then she said Mick, good night and I love you and she hung up. I though damn, how can I object to that. I called JJ and when I asked if he could come over he said MJ, I can't. You see I have a date and this isn't a rally girl and not someone I can get naked with, well not right now. I'll see you Saturday. JJ, I have a noon meeting at Oakmont with the USGA. JJ said MJ, speaking Cole show lights out earlier today, something like 6 under and he is leading by 2. MJ, that is awesome. JJ it certainly is. I knew it would be awhile before I heard from Cole or could call him. I gathered up 5 suits and the clothes I wore today and headed for the dry cleaners. I stopped at the grocery store for some fruit and cheese and a few other snacks things and drove to my place. I dumped everything in the refrigerator and went to the house. Dad was out and Megan wasn't home yet and Colleen was busy in the kitchen. I went to the basement and took 2 bottles of wine a red and a white. Back at my place I but the white in the refrigerator and the red on the counter. I then stripped my bed and changed the sheets. I then checked the nightstand for condoms and decided that there was enough. With everything clean I decided to call Cole and naturally it went to voicemail. I left a message that said, great round today if your phone calls out hit me up. If not hit them where you want them to go and have fun. Then I hung up. I went to the refrigerator looking for a beer and there were only 3 so it was back to the house and I went through the garage and grabbed a 6 pack of beer and went back to my place. The six pack went into the refrigerator and I grabbed a cold one and turned on the TV and got the local news. That was followed by the national news and I finished the beer and got another one. I turned off the TV and put a classical mix on and as I sipped my beer my hand somehow my hand slid under the band of my sweat pants and found my cock. A coupe of strokes and I was getting hard. I was in no hurry so I took a drink of the beer and set the bottle down and one hand was on my cock and the other was gently rubbing my balls. I knew I wouldn't last long as it had been forever since I shot a load. I stopped long enough to remove my sweat pants and the started stroking my cock. I was rock hard and was sticking straight up. I pulled the shaft down towards my balls and let it go and it slapped against my very firm abdomen. The sound was cool so I did it a few more times. I started to stroke again and was really going at it and with my free hand I grabbed my balls and slowly started to squeeze. That was all it took and the first squirt landed,on my chin and when it was over there was a trail from 5 big squirts from my chin then chest and then on my happy trail and my pubes and then dripping down my softening shaft. I was laying there playing with the cum and then scooped so,e up and licked it off my hand. Damn I tasted good. Eventually I cleaned up but most of it went in my mouth. Thanks for reading and for the messages, I love hearing from you guys. Finally, if possible please find a way to support Nifty.
