Date: Tue, 30 Jan 2024 22:10:43 +0000 (UTC) From: Mike Simmons Subject: It was always about the bets 398 I woke to a fantastic day and I was really hoping for nice weather and an early spring. While I had no expectation of any real work starting I wanted to see it all. I went outside for the run and when I got to JJ's there was no sign of him but I waited for a bit. I finished stretching and finally just started off. I was a house away and I heard " Yo, dude hold up". I jogged in place and JJ said he was late because I figured you wouldn't show after my plans for Spring Break. JJ, why would you think that, I told you I needed something different and this is perfect. We stopped running and just stood there talking. JJ, there is about 20 days before Spring Break and we have no plans and no place to stay. JJ laughed and said, exactly. We should go like every other high school Senior or college Freshman, on a very slim budget. The only exception being the private jet to get there. We started to walk back and JJ said MJ, I have money and you have a ridiculous amount. There is no one I know that lives the life we live and I appreciate that except for the jet and Oakmont you are very responsible with your money and hell I enjoy what it gets me. This time jets juts be normal. JJ, given the circumstances we are normal. However, you want to go to Florida and pretend we have very little money, stay in a cheap motel? JJ, laughed and said MJ, that would be good for both of us. I thought about it and JJ, I'm not staying in a one room place with a dirty mattress, a sink and toilet. Other than that I'm good. JJ, I'll look into a place and we can talk some more at the gym. What time works for you, I'm free any time. JJ thought for a minute and said 6:00 as I only have two lessons this afternoon. With that all set we went our separate ways. I dressed for work which was black jeans and a grey mock turtle neck and casual shoes, it was good for work but over dressed for school. I thought about that for a second and jumped into the Wrangler and drove to school. My goal was to get out of there with as little drama as possible. It was fine until science when Winnie and I had a project. It was the first time that had happened since the breakup but somehow we managed to remain very professional. There was no small talk and we simply finished the assignment. I went straight to the office to sign out for work and while doing that I was handed a note. I looked at it and it read " " I simply shoved it in my pocket and drove to the office. I quickly parked in my spot and noticed dad was there but went for a walk around the building to see what, if anything, was going on. There was no Major activity like digging or heavy machinery and no union workers. There were about a dozen men working and they were at both sits. I had no idea what they were doing so I went inside, put up with the security check and went to my office. I dropped my laptop on the desk and went right outside and instantly knew it was a survey crew placing the buildings with colored stakes. This was the first time I realized how big this building was. Hell, I knew the square footage but seeing it laid out was something different. From what I could tell the new building would only slightly obstruct my view of the city and I was ok with that as it would still be an awesome view. Just then I heard my desk phone ringing and when I answered, it was security saying Allen, the construction dude want to meet with me for a few minutes. I said just send him up and I'll meet him at the elevator. I waited a few minutes and connected my laptop. I started to the elevator and dad waved as he was on the phone, I wondered again what he was up to. Allen was at the elevator, we shook hands and went to my office. Once there we sat in the much used casual area but Allen was all business. Mike, I saw you at the site and then looking from your deck, or whatever you call that out there, so I figured you needed information. Starting Monday morning you will get the weeks proposed schedule. Right now I need to tell you that I made a change and moved the new building about 20'. While it improves your view, that wasn't the reason. There is some ancient underground foundations that will be costly to remove and by moving the building we save a bunch of money that was not in the budget and by leaving it as is, it poses no problems. The survey crew bitched but I was having none of their nonsenses. Heavy construction equipment arrives at noon tomorrow and the survey crew was told to be finished before that happened. Friday we start digging with a reduced crew and full crew Monday. Start digging for both buildings. Just then the desk phone rang and security said Mike, there is a Chuck Weston here to see you. I told him you were busy and he said he would wait. Ok, have him cool his heals for 30 minutes. Then an expanded security check and then escort him up. Back with Allen he asked if I needed anything else? I smiled and said you got it right, I'm good thanks. Mike do you want to see that guy sooner? Allen, he can wait and he doesn't have an appointment, but thanks. I walked Allen back to the elevator and on the way back to my office I knocked on the door to dad's office and was waved in. So dad,I have Coach Weston. Cooling his heals in the lobby but what brings you here today? Well Mike, I met with Kyle today and he briefed me on the Textron deal, I asked him to do that. Mike, it's a big deal and space is at a premium. Dad, I know all that. Mike, I agreed to turn over the old building in two weeks at a very discounted rate. Wow, thanks dad but why? Well son, since I'm having it cleaned up I'm moving back to. My old office. Mike, I'm board and things run very smooth here and I'm starting a company. Besides, Adam is involved and I know he isn't welcome here. Tim is working on an agreement that we will both sign saying we won't compete with my other company. We will both sign whatever Tim comes up without questioning anything. Besides Dillon deserves this office. Mike, thanks for stopping by and I'm sure you will be hearing from Tim. Now excuse me as I need to find contractors. I just shook my head and sat at my desk, fighting the urge to simply shoot him. I got up from my desk and went outside, leaned against the railing and screamed as loud as I could. Then it hit me I wanted Adam to agree to stay at least 500 feet from forever. I hated that lying no good mother fucker. Just then there was a knock on the door to outside and Coach stood there with a security guard. I waved them out and thanked the security guy and said I would walk the coach out as I was about to leave. So coach whats brings you here? Mike I asked to meet with you and you blew me off. I reached in my pocked, handed him the note I had been given and said Coach, please follow along as here is exactly what the note said. Mike, if you have a couple of minutes would you stop by my office. Thanks, Coach. Well I didn't have a couple of minutes. Yet here you are questioning my schedule. Look out there, tomorrow real works begins and look inside, I earned all this and it didn't happen by pretending to be busy. What do you want? Mike, why are you trying to get me fired? I got very serious and said Coach, you are misinformed, I'm not involved in you problems. Well did you meet with Doc Johnson? I laughed this time and said well I was told to report to his office, so yes we met. What was discussed was the absence of the underclass varsity players in every sport. He was unaware of a reason. He decided to meet with some of them and wanted a place so my was selected. I simply opened the door, twice, and listened. Mike what did they have to say? Coach you need to talk with Doc. I'm not involved nor is anyone in my class, we just want to graduate. Well, all I know is that he met with Nancy and asked for the files on ever Coach. Wow, I didn't know that, did you ask about that? I tried and like you he was busy. Coach, is there anything else, I need to get to the gym. We went back inside and I asked Coach to have a seat while I closed up the office. Once that was done we went to the lobby and both cleared security and I said coach, I'm sorry but they have read the proclamation. He looked at me and I smiled and said coach, THE KING IS DEAD, LONG LIVE THE KING. He even laughed at that. Coach left and I went into see the Chief. I simply asked that Adam Finnegan never be permitted in this building and that my dad needed to be watched as he was moving is office. Then I said we will need security at our old building. Adam could meet with my dad there but he was not to be near any of our projects or employees. Chief, I am totally serious and I'll have Tim meet with you but at any rate we need to cover the new offices. She just smiled and said, Mike, I'll get on it and I don't need to talk with Tim. I got in the car and realized that the had gotten away from me and I hadn't done anything about Spring Break. At my place I changed clothes into jeans and a Jodie and left for the gym. JJ was already there and I quickly changed into shorts and a tee. We did an intense workout and at the lockers, stripped and covered up with a towel and went to the sauna. I sat down and leaned back and closed my eyes, trying to relax. JJ asked MJ, did you have a tough day? JJ Coach Weston stopped to see me today. MJ, at your office? Yup, he accused me of trying to get him fired. Ok MJ, what did you say? JJ, I asked if had heard the proclamation? JJ, shook his head and asked what was proclaimed? I shrugged and said, The King is dead long live the King, then I added that there were no Seniors involved in this protest and that he should talk with Doc. JJ, I like the dude but he needs to figure things out on his own. JJ, I'm doing my best to keep out of it but my real concern is that Wyatt and others will actually transfer. We talked some about Spring Break and JJ didn't care that I got stuck with shit and did no research. I was thinking that JJ thought that I didn't want to spend Spring Break like this but I was sure that I did and finding a way to town the money at college was a thing that I really wanted. That would, however, need further thought. We changed and went to the Tavern and we both had Ruben sandwiches and shared an order of fries and as usual there was the secret beer. With that JJ said that he needed to be home as it was family night as mom was already getting emotional about me leaving. He laughed and said before we moved here all I heard was " get out of my sight". Hell, that sounded like my mom and I didn't want her out of the box in my head. I mentally secured the lid more securely and headed for my place. Once there I grabbed an iced tea and went directly to my room and sat at my desk and started to look for hotels. The one that made the most sense locally was Hampton Inns. I simply called their 800 number and asked about locations in Fort Lauderdale. I was given six locations and I look at the beach locations and found one a block away from a beach that I was sure was appropriate. Well appropriate for our needs. I quickly settled on Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport and the most convenient and would easily accommodate our jet. With that done, I realized that I hadn't heard from Cole and the tournament would start tomorrow in Texas. It wasn't a top tournament but most of the big names were playing as it would be the last event before the Masters. I was about to go to the house and see if Cole had checked in. At the house I found Megan looking over papers and Ashley apparently in bed for the night. Megan smiled and said, well hi stranger. I didn't react to that and she said you dad is at the Club. I smiled and asked, is Adam with him. Look Mike, there is no messing with that relationship and I appreciate you didn't blow a gasket today when he told you. I'm assuming that you reacted in private and that there will be repercussions, correct. Well, let's just call it trust and verify. Megan laughed shaking her head. Megan as soon as he is done repairing and cleaning up the old place my people will construct a separate entrance and location for dad and his friend. I have made arrangements for security as the Textron people require that and security will not let Adam anywhere near the employees. Dad, as a valued part owner and founder will have no restrictions, at this time. Megan looked right at me and said well that is short on trust and long on verify. I smiled and said that's correct and yet well earned. I immediately changed the subject and asked, so how is Cole? Mike, I talked with him yesterday and he is good, hates the course and what he call the weird grass but is having fun. Liam has his girl traveling with him this week so Cole is very much up to speed on his school work and our agreement. He said the goals are the same, aske the cut, pay the bills and finish well. Then Megan asked so Mike, how are you? I smiled and said well mon, I'm Rey busy and there fore I am very good. I'm at my best when I'm busy. JJ and I have plans for Spring Break, going to Florida, leaving Wednesday morning and flying home Saturday night and be home for Easter dinner. Megan smiled and said Church? I said nope, just dinner. On then we are all leaving Wednesday morning for the Masters, rooms are all set but would you check with Jessica. I assume she is making the trip but if not I want to cancel the rooms ASAP, they are expensive, even with a discount. Mike, your dad and I expect to pay for all the rooms as as you are flying us up and back. Megan, have dad talk with me about that, if he has the time, rest assured it's all paid for already. Then I laughed and said, you know I have connections, even there with the super snobs.then I said, I'll let you get back to work and I have shit to do as well. There was no objection so I went back to my place. I had purposely omitted the restraining order I wanted Adam to observe as I knew there would be a major objection. Just then the door flew open and there stood dad. He slammed the door closed and said I had a call from Tim today after we talked. Dad, I talked with Tim and Company Security. I need to talk with Kyle and find out who he want to put in the new building and security may or may not be a problem. Then again you don't give a shit about that. What has you pissed off is that I want to restrict any contact Adam might want to have with me, correct? Mike, that's correct. Look dad, I don't trust him and sadly I don't trust you in regards to Adam. There have been too many times he has tried to hide things and fuck me over. I'm not doing it again. Mike, it is important that you trust me on this. Dad, I trust you, just not Adam and that's important to me. Mike, I promise you won't have any involvement with Adam. I laughed and said dad, I know that and we just had this discussion over finances for the new buildings and here you are again back with Adam. I took a deep breath and said if I trust you on this and Adam pulls more of his shit or entangles me or the Company in anything at all you will be dead to me. Is that a chance you are willing to take? Dad, Adam can't help himself so think carefully before you ask this of me. It is only a matter of time. Dad didn't say anything and we were at the point where the next person to talk would give have no choice to give in. Dad finally said Mike, I can't live without either of you. I shrugged and said dad, all I'm asking is for you not to put Adam before me and I'm aware of what I'm asking. Mike, I never put Adam ahead of you. Dad you do but I know it isn't intentional. You simply can't always trust him in every situation and he needs you to make money and survive. Dad, the sooner you realize it the better you and I will be. There was again silence. This time I said dad, the restrictions on Adam involving our employees stands, I will not even speak with him but the restraining order goes away. If that doesn't work, I'll find another place to house our employee that don't fit in the building. That's the best I can do. Dad took a deep breath and said Mike, that works thanks. He stood up and came over and gave me a hug. At the door he stopped and turned towards me and said Mike, I hope JJ never causes issues like this for you. Then he was gone calmly closing the door. I thought damn, am I just like dad? I was pretty sure JJ was no Adam. I was heading back to my room when the phone buzzed and it was Cole. We talked for about 20 minutes and I got the same message about things as Megan had relayed. Then Cole said that things with the others guys was really good and that the top Pros respected him and his abilities but we're not thrilled with the competition. I just laughed at that. We discussed the Masters and that Jessica was definitely planning on being there. Cole said here rents were over objecting to anything the two of them wanted to do. I simply ask, when is the wedding? Cole laughed and said well MJ, a year before the first kid. I thought that was hysterical and said good night and told him to hit them where he want them to go, anyone can hit them straight. He laughed and said good night. I calledJJ and it went to voicemail so I left a message saying that I have options for Spring Break and that I would see him for the run. With that I straightened up the place and added to the laundry pile and jumped into bed. My head had barely hit the pillow and it was the phone. JJ was returning my call. The first thing he said was MJ, no run tomorrow as I'm out of school. I e been studying for a certification I want for work and the test is tomorrow. Dad is taking me for for breakfast and then toThe test. He said he would pick me up, if I passed and JJ laughed. We talked about Florida and he was more than a bit surprised that I was ok with this. He asked if would mind booking the rooms and he would pay for half. MJ, we can split the jet costs between your company and the flight school, if you can work that out on your end. Dad, is good on our end. I laughed and said well it's good on my end and unless we are spending time with NASA, I will eventually be billed but it's all good. We agreed on a run Friday morning and a workout around 6:00 then dinner and sex. I said good night and this time I fell fast asleep with no interruptions. Both Thursday and Friday were clones of each other in that they were drama free. On Thursday after school I went to the restaurant and found Sam and Jake sitting at a table drinking coffee. I asked where the coffee was and Jake pointed towards the kitchen and I filled a mug and joined them at the table. I was told that the place was way ahead of schedule and that 15 televisions would be delivered on Friday and be operational early next week. They had hired three chefs and most of the wait staff. I reminded them about feed the workers on Wednesday and said they would need box lunches for the workers starting Wednesday and they could get the numbers from Allen who could most often be found in the construction trailer in the lot. There should be a sandwich, fruit, chips and a cookie. Allen would have drinks so they needed not worry about that. I told them that they could bill Allen every month and that payment would be processed on the first of every month. Then I said that there was a 50k line of credit established and that Jordan would be sending someone over from finance to explain things. Friday was a run, class and work with a meeting with Tim. He said he had worked things out with my dad and I was more than pleased to find out they were exactly as dad and I had discussed. I met JJ at 6:00 at the gym and we had a great workout and went to the Tavern for dinner. At dinner, I askedJJ if there was a single engine plane available tomorrow from 10:00 till around 2:00. He grappled his phone and made a call and he asked about the plane and all I heard was, please have it gassed and ready for 10:00 and it will be back before 2:45. When he hung up I smiled and said thanks. We finished eating and as there was still no. I'll, I left a big tip and we headed to my place in separate vesicles. Before I got home I got a call and it was Doc Johnson. He said that he had just gotten out of an meeting and that the Board had made a bunch of decisions and he wanted to give me a heads up. He asked if I was free tomorrow morning and I said that I was flying in the morning and having lunch at Latrobe Country Club. I said it was my time to relax but that if he wanted to fly and talk, I would be glad to have himeLong. I added that it was casual and that lunch was in the mens grill so slacks and a polo short would work, I added that I was wearing black jeans and VT shirt. He said that would be great and the drama had returned. At y place I went straight to the refrigerator and grabbed two beers and handed one to JJ and I said dude, I'm drinking till 10:00. JJ laughed me and said MJ, you might not be finishing this one and he grabbed me and we started to kiss and while he had a beer in one hand and that arm around my neck his somewhat free hand found my quickly hardening cock and was feeling me up through my pants. I led him to the loveseat and sat him down and said JJ, Doc called and there are big changes coming in the entire athletic program. JJ set his beer down and grabbed both of my ears and pulled my face inches from his face and said MJ, right now I don't give a fuck and you have bout 3 seconds to finish that beer. I'm honey as fuck and the only person in the world I want to have sex with is you and I almost jumped you twice at dinner. So shut the fuck up and kiss me. With that he pulled me towards and we were,kissing like mad and shirts flew off and when it got to JJ's undershirt I crabbed the collar with both hand and pulled as hard as I could and the shirt tore off him like paper. I went directly to his neck k and got slapped and he said no marks. I moved to his nipples and my undershirt was pulled over y head and JJ said enough, let's get to you bed and see whose ass is leaking cum first. I pushed him back on the loveseat undid his belt and opened his jeans and reached for the bottoms oh his jeans and pulled and all that was left was his boxers and they was off before the jeans hit the floor. I got down on my knees and opened my mouth and took his cock to the base. I started working his cock with my mouth and my cock was so hard it hurt and my boxer briefs were wet with precum. JJ stopped me told me to get up and my jeans were around my ankles so fast and the undies were quickly there as well. I stepped out and JJ sat me on the loveseat and sat on my cock and there was a grunt as my co k entered his hole with just a bit of precum for lube. Once he was comfortable he rode me hard until I screamed fuck, I'm going to shoot and I exploded deep in his ass. He leaned forward as he was facing me and we kissed again and again I started to get hard. He pulled back from the kiss and said dude, forget about it your ass is now mine. You want it here or in the bedroom. I smiled and said dude wherever I can ride you. JJ took my hand and we went into the bed room and ride that cock I did and every time I thought he was close I just sat still. Then I started to slowly work his cock increasing the pace this time he was having none of me slowing down and he pulled me into a kiss and bucked like a bull in a rodeo until he filled my ass with a massive load. I just laid on top of him until his cock slid out of my ass. I rolled off him and sat on the side of the bed and was quickly pulled beside JJ who smiled and said dude, just get back here and there is no reason to go anywhere. Everything we need is right here and there will be at least two more sessions before we get about our days tomorrow. I have six lessons and you have a shit show. We kiss, talked, sucked cock, serviced each other and did it again until out tanks were empty and we were both walking a bit funny. It was after midnight when we fell asleep the first time. We were at it again around 4. It was funny in the morning when we took a shower together and neither of us got hard. JJ, left around 8:00 to change clothes and be at work for 9:00. I finished my second cup of coffee and was at the airport for 9:30. I was sure it would be an interesting day. Thanks for reading and for the notes. PLEASE REMEMBER, IF POSSIBLE, TO SUPPORT NIFTY.
