Subject: It was always about the bets 59

Once again I put coffee on before the run and did the usual 5 miles. I
drove to school, went to the office and put the unfinished work in the
mailbox with no note or explanation and went to class. The whole day was
football, football and more football. This building needs to get a life or
something. Calculus class went without a hitch and no comment. More library
and more research and I hate fucking note cards. Then it was off to
practice which was a bear we ran the new plays live and I was not allowed
on defense, coach said with me knowing the plays he needed to protect
people and we all laughed. After practice I tried to take a quick shower
but coach grabbed me and asked about the meeting. I said coach, I'm shocked
you don't already know how the meeting went or do you need to report back?
Before he could answer, I said coach were are not talking about it, I'm
fine and all I want to do is win Friday, so move on. Nothing will happen to
distract me from that goal, have a great night.

I went home and called Carrie and said babe, can I come over, I need to see
you? She said Mike everyone is hear, would your place be better? Carrie, I
just want to talk and be with you nothing physical, I'll be right over, ok?
Mike, that's cool, I love you. I got there and we went down stairs and her
brother was playing video games and to my surprise he said hey Mike it's
nice to see you. He turned off the game and said I'll leave you two alone
and left the room. I looked at Carrie and said babe what the fuck just
happened? Mike he has a girlfriend so all of a sudden he gets it and I
laughed. We snuggled and talked about nothing and after about an hour I
kissed her and said, babe while I need dad, I hope he doesn't come home
this weekend. I kissed her again and went upstairs, saw her brother and
said hey dude, thanks for the privacy and I winked at him and left.

As I was pulling into the driveway my phone and and it was dad. He said he
was with Bill and they would both be at the game Friday. Dad, I don't care
but can you loose him for a while I really need to talk with you,
please. Mike I'll call you right back. About 5 minutes the phone rang and
dad said ok Mike what do you need? I told him about the Pitt and CMU thing
and he said, Mike we both need to think about it but my initial reaction is
don't do it. Oh, thanks dad, I needed to hear that. So what up with Bill?
He is on probation with an accelerated program that once completed would
clear his record. He started rehab a few days after we get back and will be
in the guest room till that starts. Then he added Mike, I'm sorry about
that. I replied dad, I understand and I'm good with it. Just so you know I
was expecting that and I hope we can develop at least a civil
relationship. So dad when will you be here? Mike, mid day Thursday, how
about a family dinner? Dad how about Bill and I have dinner and you rest?
Mike that's fine with me and I'll float that balloon but it is his
call. Sure thing dad but no club dinners please. Then I ended the call by
saying dad, I love you and I'll do my fucking best to make it work with
Bill. Remember that's a different 2 way street than we have been on in the
past. Safe travels and I hung up.

I went upstairs changed into warm running clothes and went for a run to
clear my fucking head.  The run was good and helped a lot. What really
helped was that I went and took a long hot shower and while soaping my self
I got hard. Thinking what the hell I started stroking myself. I went at it
hard and fast alternating hands and rubbing my chest. I leaned back against
the wall and pinched my nipple and shot a load all over the shower, hitting
the opposite wall and floor. I looked at my hand and there was cum all over
it and I lifted my hand to my nose to smell it and slowly went to my mouth
and licked my hand cleaned. I leaned against the wall, made the water
hotter and just stayed there. I have no idea how long but I was relaxed for
the first time in days. I dried off climbed into bed nude and fell asleep.

Wednesday morning I got up dressed for a workout and took school clothes
and went to the field house for a workout. Coach wandered by and said Mike,
please cool it. I said coach I'm fine and I'm going to fucking finish. You
want my head in the right place then I need this. I continued working out
and he said Mike stop, now. I stopped and he looked at me and said ok,
what's your problem? I said coach you are, I'm trying to relax and workout
and you stopped me. I'm fine and totally focused on school and then
football. Look Mike you have been pissed since that meeting with Pitt,
what's up? Coach nothing, I'm fine and focused. I got up and went in and
showered. As I was dressing coach said Mike we, I immediately said coach we
need to win Friday. I finished dressing and went to class. I ran into Rob
on the way to first period and he said Mike you ok? You were pretty tense
with Coach Weston. Rob, thanks for asking but I'm pissed at him and I'm
trying not to lose focus for Friday. He needs to coach and I need to play,
EOS. Mike, I give up what the hell is EOS. I laughed and said End of
Story. I stopped and said you want to stop over latter and hang out, I'm
home alone and could use some company not related to football? He said sure
Mike, I would like that.

The morning went smooth until lunch when Jim pulled me aside and asked
what's up with you and coach? Jim, why you asking? Mike I heard you two
about the workout and I know you well enough that your pissed about
something, what is it? Jim, I am pissed and I'm not fighting with him till
after the season. I'm fine, I'm focused and all I want to do is win. That's
going to have to be good enough. He said look asshole, you might be fine
but he is a mess cut him a break, deal with it or get over it and do it
today. With that I went and sat with Carrie.

Then there was calculus and I was asked to stay after class. At which time
I was presented with the unfinished material form his mailbox. So Mike
what's up, were these too hard? I said they were not and according to
Dr. Chan my work is excellent. I chose not to finish them and I don't want
more off the books work. The teacher said Mike he wasn't to share that with
you. I said and you weren't to share it, with him, without me knowing about
it. He just looked at me and said Mike do you always have to bust the balls
of everyone trying to help you? I thought for a minute and said that's a
good point, I've been told to calm down, so keep my work between you and me
and have the sense to ask before you share it. I need to get to class.

Class was study hall so went to the Athletic Office and Nancy said, hi Mike
this is a surprise, is Chuck expecting you? I said no he isn't but I would
appreciate a few minutes of his time. She picked up the phone told Coach I
was there. She said Mike, he said to please meet him in the conference
room. We entered at the same time with him saying Mike, I thought this
would be more comfortable for you than my office. I said thanks coach, I
appreciate the thought. Coach I need to apologize for being a jerk. I felt
blindsided by the Pitt thing and felt that I was not treated with
..... well total honesty. Mike, both me and your calculus teacher were less
than honest. We pulled some strings and took a shot. I of all people should
have known your reaction to that. So Coach Weston do you have a stake in
any of this? Mike, I do not. Pitt all along felt they were wasting their
time with you and they have the same feeling after the other night. Coach,
they are right, I don't want to stay here for school, I don't want to be
different than my teammates, with a special deal and I hate the campus. CMU
for sure if I don't play football. So it will be a firm no thanks as soon
as dad get back. While I was pissed, I was and am focused let's just win on
Friday. Mike, thanks for stopping we are all under a lot of pressure. Then
I said Coach, thank Jim because at lunch today he grabbed my face mask and
said dude get the fuck over it. Oh one last thing I need to work out, I'm
getting soft. He simply burst out laughing. Mike, next time please talk
before you get pissed off. Coach I'm a work in progress on that.

With all that having been done it was a hard practice and I was on both
offense and defense and almost never left the field. As I was leaving the
field Ray came up to me and said Mike, can we please talk? I said sure Ray
when and where? He said Mike how about now at your place. My internal radar
went off but I said sure Ray, that works. We got in my car and it was dead
silence. So I said Ray why so quiet? Well Mike we have drifted so far apart
I don't even know where to start. I said so Ray, let's start here no bets,
no tasks and no sex. That should strip everything away as it has become
about all that and nothing else. We pulled into the driveway and went in
and there was the typical note about dinner. I put coffee on took dinner
out of the refrigerator and said, Ray please eat. Mike, how is dinner ready
and I said Ryan, our housekeeper. We started to eat and Ray said Mike, you
have changed and changed a lot and I have not. You have grown into a
physical god and I have not grown an inch or gained a pound. Ray, I'm not a
god and neither of us can help how much we grow. That should not be an
issue, I'm in better shape than you because I work my ass off and you don't
try at all. However, I don't think the physical difference between us is
the issue. Ray was just eating and apparently thinking so I just ate and
let him go where he wanted. He finally looked up and said Mike we have
nothing in common. I replied Ray we have football and all those bets and
tasks but you are right nothing else. So Ray let me ask you something?
Growing up all the way back to kindergarten what did we have in common?
Mike we had a lot. Ok Ray just tell me what we had? Mike, we hung out,
played sports and video games, double dated and talked a lot. Ray that's
correct and where did that lead us..... TO THE INNOCENT STUPID BETS that
turned into THE NOT SO INNOCENT STUPID BETS. Ray why did that happen,
that's the issue, why the bets?

Mike you have to admit the bets were fun. Ray in 5th, 6th grades and even
till sophomore year yes they were, but fuck then they changed to cover our
mutual need for sex and control. Then they got nasty and moved to who could
control who. Then Ray what happened? Mike, you won control, you got bigger,
more mature, were smarter, have and keep a sexy girlfriend. I can't
compete. Ray that's bullshit and you know it. Once you were very
competitive and then you just gave up. Ray fucking answer me why did you do
that? Just stop trying. He stood up pounded the table and screamed BECAUSE
YOU ARE SO FUCKING PERFECT I CAN'T WIN. He went into dads office grabbed
the pack of cigarettes and lit one and tossed me the pack. I thought for a
minute and just laid them on the table. Ray looked at me and said that's
just perfect, you just quit fucking smoking, no problem at all. I Ray, it
is damn hard but I did quit, that has something to do with you and me? Only
in your mind. Grow the fuck up and grow some balls and stop blaming me
because you don't like what you have become.

Ray looked at me and said so Mike is there anything left? Dude, do you have
someone you are dating? He said sorta. Well how about you, me, Carrie and
your girl double some day soon? Say a movie and burgers? Let's see what it
becomes? Mike, that would be great. He got up came over and gave me a hug
and left.

I started to clean the kitchen and dad called. We talked about general
stuff and then he said Mike, Bill and I will be home tomorrow afternoon, I
said great dad I'm looking forward to he and he laughed. No dad it I'm good
and remember Bill and I are having dinner, just the two of us. I was
thinking about your old stomping grounds in Greentree. Mike, that's not
just your call. Ok dad please put the asshole on the phone, I'll be nice. A
minute later Bill got on and said hey Mike, dad said you wanted to talk, so
what's up? Bill I was thinking about you and I restart things with dinner
tomorrow, any thoughts? Mike, that's kinda fast. I said Bill, I get that
but you won't be around for a while and my schedule is nuts with this
playoff football. Look Bill, now that dad is in charge, things will be
different. We are brothers and we need to both need to start acting like
it, please let's do this and give dad a break as well. Ok, Mike just not
the Club. See Bill we already have something in common, a healthy dislike
for the club. He laughed and said, Mike I'm really trying. I said Bill so
am I, seen you tomorrow. Dad got back on and said Mike, thanks, he actually
smiled for the first time in days. Dad, it's a work in progress, just let
us fuck it up on our own and he laughed and hung up.

I called Carrie and we were actually catching up on things as we have
hardly had any time alone. Mike, we need alone time soon and I don't mean
public alone time. Babe I know, but Bill will be home tomorrow and dad is
not going away anytime soon. We might actually need to get a room. Oh babe,
Ray has a new girl and I promised his we would double a movie and pizza. I
know I should have asked first but please? Mike that's cool, I actually
like Samantha his new friend. Wow, babe that's awesome. Ray and I have a
very tense conversation over dinner. Oh, speaking of dinner Bill and I are
having dinner alone tomorrow. She said, I'm betting you are not going to
the Club. I said babe don't bet, please. We both laughed and I said good
night babe I love you.

I went to the guest room to make sure things were clean and ready for Bill
and with Ryan around there was no need. It was a couple of hours of school
work and a very hot relaxing shower and what was be coming an every other
day event a shave and shirt I needed a haircut, but that would have to
wait. I dried off jumped into bed piled the covers, checked the alarm and
fell asleep.

Typical day at school but Ray surprised me and sat with Jim, Rob and I and
seemed relaxed. On the way to class, he stopped me and said Mike, thanks
for yesterday. Dude, no problem Carrie and I are looking forward to hanging
out with you and Samantha. Mike, how the fuck did you figure that out
already? I just laughed and went to math class. Then I went to the library
for the work on the paper and then practice.

Practice was typical walk through and an early home. As turned into the
driveway, I saw dad's car and thought shit I forgot about Bill. I went In
and saw dad in the office on the phone but no sign of Bill. I went upstairs
dropped my backpack in my room and knocked on the guest room door. Bill
said come in Mike. We hugged and I went and sat on the bed, so how was the
flight? He said well it beat the bus ride and we both laughed. Mike, I have
to admit you are one tough son of a bitch. Bill, that's over you are dad's
problem, I'm just your brother. So Mike, where is dinner? Bill, dad took me
to this place in Greentree where he went when he was our age. It is an old
throwback neighborhood bar. Ok, Mike that sounds like fun, but since
neither of us are drinking why a bar. Well Bill, the giant sandwiches and
fresh cut fries and the atmosphere. Bill, do you have a drivers license? He
laughed and said dude, I was living in California it is easier to take a
bus. Well I was going to let you drive, but we can work on that. How about
you give me 30 minutes and we can head out? That's fine Mike.

I went down stairs and found dad and he looked very tired. Mike he said, I
did not hear you come in? Dad you were on the phone an I went upstairs and
was talking with Bill. Damn, no screaming, no police and no
paramedics. Dad, just stop, there wasn't even a crossword. We will be
leaving in a few, we are going to your college haunt in Greentree. Michael,
no drinking. I shook my head and went to my room and changed into jeans and
a hoodie. Bill stuck his head in and said, ok, I was wondering about the
dress code. Bill, jeans and a warm top. Mike that's a challenge the weather
is never this cold in LA. Bill, I have multiple clothes sizes in the closet
pick something comfortable. We went downstairs together told dad not to
wait up and left.

During the 30 minute drive we chatted and Bill said Mike I don't want to
fight but I really need some answers. Bill, I get that but try to keep it
light and I'll answer any question you might have even if the answer is
fuck off. He said, Mike for now that's cool. Ok, so what's with this
smoking car? Bill, Mom and dad bought it for me when I turned 16. Bill it
was mostly dad and just after the company took off, there is now a lot of
money. You need to remember that your school, housing and things were being
paid for by the rents. So Mike, how much is a lot? Bill please ask
dad. Mike, how good of an athlete are you? Damn Bill I said, keep it light
and the first two or is it three questions are something else. Mike, I'm
sorry let's start over. I said Bill please relax we are here, let's talk
inside.

Bill opened the door and said, holy shit this is awesome. A real bar, old
booths a real throwback. I just laughed when the owner came over and said
hey Mike, this is a real surprise. I said yes it is you actually remember
me, dude your Mike's son. I laughed and said well here is my older brother
Bill. He said well guys have a seat and what you drinking? I said iced tea
and Bill said a Pepsi please. Bill almost chocked when 2 beers arrived and
menus. I found the owner and explained the situation and the beers
disappeared and our drink orders appeared. I ordered an Italian delight and
Bill said what the hell, I'll have that as well. While waiting for the food
I said ok Bill, I am a very, very good athlete and I have full scholarship
offers from PSU, VT, Michigan, Notre Dame and PITT/CMU. I've told 6 others
I was not interested? Mike all that and you are a Junior? Bill, that's
correct. The food came and Bill said Mike we should have ordered one and
split it. I laughed and said Bill my turn. How many college credits do you
need to graduate? Mike, I honestly don't know the number but at Stanford I
would be a second semester Sophomore with no declared major so it would be
2 full years to graduate. I bit into my sandwich not saying a word. Ok
Mike, how serious are you and Carrie? Bill very and if we were college
Juniors we would be married. So Bill you gay or bi, I asked? He replied,
yes. I just laughed and said damn we have something in common, after
all. Then we both laughed.  Bill, there is something we can work together
on. Really Mike, what? Well mom, if she could pick any place to go where
would that be? Mike, you have to know that, any ocean. Ok Bill what you
don't know is that her ashes are in dads office and I need to do something
with her, dad does not want involved. I was hoping we could find a place
together and release them in an ocean. Wow, Mike you would let me help with
that? It would mean so much. Bill let's plan on my spring break, we drive
to the coast spend a couple of days together and put her in the ocean. We
finished eating, Bill took half the sandwich home and I had finished all
mine. We got home and both said good night to dad and went upstairs. When
we got to my room, Bill turned gave me a hug and said Mike, thanks for a
great night.
