I was about half way through the process when Tim called and seemed really excited. I said Tim what you so excited about? He said Mike, I got a detailed sketch of the building and fuck I think it is awesome and Ryan has a bunch of numbers that I think will work and is under our initial thoughts. Do you have time to see them? I said Tim this is the first Friday night I have free since August, so I have plans. How about you come early tomorrow and dad and I can look at the drawings and numbers together. He seemed disappointed but said that works. I said thanks and I'll see you in the morning. I was working on the room sketch and dad came up and said Mike, why so quiet and I said dad we have a lot to talk about how about some coffee in your office. We went down stairs and I put coffee on and went in the office and said dad, it has been a very relaxing week till 6th period today when I was called to coach Weston's office and there were three coaches from VT. They were concerned that rumors were flying that I had committed to PSU. We talked for a while and I picked up the phone with them in the room and declined the PSU offer. So now the order is VT, ND and Michigan. We firmed up the campus visit and we have dinner with some coaches on Thursday evening, a meeting with Computer Science and a I'll be sitting in or a class sometime Friday and will be spending the rest of Friday with a senior linebacker. Saturday is you me and football. Sunday is just you and me and home on Monday. Oh and I cleared up the Jim situation and answered nicely the drug thing. Shit Mike that was a lot. Well dad, then Tim called all excited he has building prelim drawings and a sketch and he will be here around 10:00 to show us and discuss prelim numbers. He assured me we will be pleased, then it is off to lunch at Oakmont. So Mike you did that in all of two hours? Dad I just answered the phone about the building. Then he said, Mike my turn. I said cool what's up? I knew about the PSU thing as they called me asking for a second chance and I told them that as far as I was concerned it was a dead issue, but expect a call. Dad, I said, I'm done with them and have been for a while, what else? He said I should not even tell you this but but Carrie called me at the office about an hour ago, all concerned about you. I said really, what the fuck? Mike, she said you have been really different this week and distant and wanted to know if there was something going on that she should know and you weren't telling her. Ok dad here is what's happening. Football is over and I'm back to my normal schedule running and working out. She is not used to that as it relaxes me and I am less tense. Dad, I really love her and yet there are times I need space and I took that this week. Then Sunday nigh she said we have to have a serious talk about college and fuck I realized she was right as I knew where I was but had no idea where she was in the process and that worried me. I think I have pulled away more than I thought. Anyway we are going to the basketball game and then Jim, Rob and I are going to The Tavern with our dates. Rob needs to experience the place after a game on Friday night. By the way the hoop team is every bit as good as the football team. Dad got up messed with my hair and got a drink. Then he said, fuck Mike that's one hell of a relaxing week. I went upstairs, showered, shaved and put on preppy clothes and went to get Carrie. As I was waiting for her, Sam appeared more than a little dressed up and announced he was going to the game and had a date. I smiled and said good for you? You want a ride to the game, we can pick up your date but you are on your own for getting home. He ran out of the room came back a few minutes later and said dude it all set you are fucking awesome. I said Sam your vocabulary is much bette than that. He laughed and said I'm sorry I'm just excited. Carrie cane down and I said Sam a few minutes please. Once he was out of sight I grabbed Carrie and kissed her and said babe I Love you and she kissed me back. Sam came back and said get a room but get me to Jessie's place first. We both laughed and got in the car. I went in with Sam and explained that unless they objected I would be driving the kids to the game and that Sam's dad would be bringing them home. They said sure and thanked me for letting them know. Once in the back seat the two kids started making out right away. I didn't say anything but once we got out of the car, I got Sam aside and said dude slow the fuck down and I grabbed his balls and said be very careful with what you do with that and he blushed. Inside the gym was only half full but it was still early. We hooked up with Jim and Ashley and we found a seat in the back of the student section. It was a blast. The game started and after one quarter it was no contest, Rob must have had 10 points an assist or two and I didn't count the rebounds as we were up 20 to 8. By halftime the place started to empty out as it was a complete blowout. Watching the game I noticed the starters and the first sub were all juniors and thought shit, here we go again. After the game we sat in the bleachers waiting for Rob and he came out his hair still wet and a girl jumped in his arms and gave him a big kiss and a hug. Then he saw us and introduced Hannah and said I'm starving who is driving? Jim said I guess I am as Mike's car is hot as shit but not practical and we all laughed. At the Tavern the place was packed and our table was ready and we got or rather Rob got a big cheer. He waved to the crowd and sat down. The owner came down and asked if the guys were having iced tea and we all said yess and Carrie said ladies will have ginger ale. They just looked and the drinks came and they were beers and white wine and Ashley said how the hell did that just happen? I said Ashley if your dating Jim and running in our circle, understand we are special and thing like this happen, just go with the flow or not, we won't be offended, she laughed and said next time I'll have iced tea if you don't mind and we all laughed. We all order sandwiches and it was two Rubens and four Berger's and two baskets of fries. The second round of drinks were iced tea and ginger ale. We had a fucking blast. We finished and I asked for the bill and the owner came over and said Mike, I don't care what you say or do but 4 people have already paid for you food and soft drinks so there is no bill. Besides you Tim and now him, pointing to Rob are very good for my business. Rod stood up and introduced himself and said well look for a lot more nights like this. Jim drove us back to school and we went our separate ways. Once in the car I leaned over and kissed Carrie and damn it became an intense kiss. She said, Mike, I called your dad and I'm sure you are aware and I was sure you would be pissed. Babe, I'm not at all and the other night you said we had to have a long talk and you are right. So tomorrow is a very busy business dap and I was thinking Sunday brunch, say the Grand Concourse on the south side? She said Absolutely not but brunch at Eat N Park will be fine. We are teenagers start acting like one and she kissed me and we made out for a while I drover home and kissed her goodnight and as I was getting back in the car Sam came flying out and I asked if he could get in. Once I closed the door he said Mike thanks for tonight, I replied dude it was no problem. Sam blushed and said Mike we never have time alone and I laughed and said dude that was obvious but I imagine you will get an earful from your sister and he said, I know. I said Sam what else, well can we go somewhere alone to talk? I said sure but not tonight, I'm beat. He said fine but when? I thought for a minute and said how about we go for burgers tomorrow for dinner and he lit up and said fucking awesome. Then he looked at me and said I know vocabulary. I smiled and said you got that fucking right, now get back in the house. I got a big smile and he ran into the house. I got home and dad was nowhere in sight, so I went to my room and was working on the sketch of my room when Carrie called. She said, Mike thanks for taking Sam and his date to the game, he is still excited. I said no problem, now that he has a girlfriend he is a decided to human. She laughed and said, I blasted his ass for the make out session in the back seat and he said you and him were having burgers tomorrow night, I said yes. It will be a tough day and he will relax me, besides I've never given the sex talk before and I was saving Sunday for you. She asked what about Bill and I said there is no way he is permitted visitors and he isn't permitted near a phone, or he would have blasted my ass. Babe good night I love you. I went back to work on the sketch and was drawing things in and erasing and it was a struggle when there was a knock on my dood and dad came in and sat on the bed. My alarms immediately went off and I waited for him to drop it on me. He finally said Mike I know this is very big ask but can the two of us and possibly your fucked up brother spend Christmas at the cabin? I said dad you don't ask much but can I have Christmas Eve with Carrie? Mike how about you throw a New Year's Eve party in stead? You can have your two friends and their dates over and I'll drive the girls home at 1:00. Dad that's a deal. I'll work it out with Carrie on Sunday we are having brunch? Somewhere fancy? I said I tried that and she said teens go to Eat N Park but it is a very serious talk. Mike, how about we have breakfast here, I'll cook and you two can go up in four room and work it out? Dad I would love that but are you sure? Mike, I said work thing out not fuck it out, that never works. I simply said Deal. The next morning I got up and ran to the gym and started my workout and was really going at it when I noticed the PSU alumni dude watching me and I was about to react when Jim came in. I continued the workout and we spotted for each other. It was getting late so we showered and I thanked Jim and he said dude wingmen never say thanks and I laughed and drove home. Tim was really excited as he was already there and I grabbed a cup of coffee and sat down and yelled for dad. Tim, had a giant case and he pulled out the drawing of the building and I looked in amazement, he was right it was awesome. I looked at dad and he was speechless. Tim started with verbal details indicating where the different materials were and then he pulled out an elevation of the two corner offices on the top floor that included the outside area. I looked at dad and said one of those is yours and you only get half of that floor. I get the other office and the other half of the floor will house MJS Enterprises. He just looked at me and said what the fuck? I said a work in progress and a new idea. Just then Ryan came in and put a folder in front of each of us and launched into a cost estimate and it was a little over 16 million and included a finished half of the top floor. I looked at him and he said Mike, I knew exactly what you would do when you saw the drawing. I said so Ryan you going to Oakmont in jeans and a sweat shirt? He said fuck, I didn't know I was invited. I said just get dressed and if you need something I have multiple sizes in my room. It like a fucking clothing store. I excused myself and went and took another shower, shaved and dressed in khakis a blue shirt and a blazer, socks and loafers and went down stairs and was reading the paper and talking with Tim. Eventually Ryan and dad came down and we left for the club. It was an easy drive with very little traffic. We went in the main entrance and I found the office and said we were here to meat with Mayor Flaherty. The secretary went for the manager and I repeated my request and he said son where is your dad? I repeated my request and he said again where is your dad? Just then the Mayor came by looked in and said Mike good afternoon I've been looking forward to meeting with you and the manager was dumbfounded. I shook my head and said, sir we will chat latter. In the hall the Mayor and dad shook hands and I introduced Tim as my attorney and Ryan as my accountant. Pete said damn is your entire team this young and I said well this is the team. We moved into the dining room and people were looking we got big table and the Mayor asked that it be cleaned off and then a waiter came over and asked for a drink order, the Mayor, dad and Tim ordered scotch, Ryan a beer and I said iced tea. The Mayor looked at dad who shrugged and the Mayor said the kid will have what his dad is drinking and I said I'll still have iced tea. Tim opened the case and pulled out the drawing and the Mayor asked some questions and Tim went into his presentation. Then Pete looked at dad and said your thoughts? Dad replied I'm excited and we are in the final stages of leasing the second, third and half of the fourth floor. He looked at me and I said we are interviewing tenants as we sit here and to be honest we could use more space, but I'm not stupid enough to over develop. Pete looked at me for a minute and said ok, I'll bite who or what is on the second half of the 4th floor? I said a new company and corporate papers will be filed early next week. So this company is MJS what? I replied Enterprises. The Mayor was quiet for a minute and then called the waiter over grabbed my iced tea and said please get this guy a scotch on the rocks, the same as his dad, I believe. Then the Mayor looked at me and said Mike, what do you need from me? I said Pete, I told you at the hockey game I wanted you to know dad and I and especially, than I am for real, nothing else. The Mayor said fuck that's unusual. I said Pete, the land is bought, the construction loan is almost approve the plans are underway and we are in compliance with the zoning, so we are good. Then he said the land next to your property you offer has a counter and I said yes and I countered back. Pete laughed and said no you didn't you repeated the same offer. Why do you want the land zoned commercial? I said Mayor I don't I'm just messing with them, please make sure that is a no. He looked at me and said when that gets turned down you lowered your price and I said exactly. He said Mike you want to run my campaign for governor down the road and I laughed and said let's eat. Tim put the drawing away and we moved to another table and the rest of the afternoon was just friendly. People tried to talk with the Mayor and were stopped. Finally the manager came over and asked if he could have a minute of my time? I said sure and took him to a quiet corner and he started to apologize and I said Sir, there is no need and I am Michael James Simmons, Jr and I have a question. What does it take to be a member here? He looked at me and said well we have no members near your age so you would need to be older and have a boat load of money and a sponsor. I said how old and he said it has never come up before. I said find out please and call me, I gave him my number and said feel free to check me out, I have the money and the fucking boat to put it in, please be civil in the future and I walked away. Back at the table Pete said Mike I have never seen anyone put him in his place like that before, we should get you a membership. He needs dressed down like that on occasion. How good of a golfer are you and I said average, dad chimed in and said he is a 4 at South Hills and plays like three times a month. With that we finished up and got in the car. Tim started right away, dude you are awesome when you are not pissed off, but I thought the first five minutes might end in a physical event. However, you had the Mayor eating out of your hand? Tim that's because I did not want anything this time. Just then the phone rand and I answered with hello, this is Mike, I listened and said prevailing wage and I listened some more and said Pete what do I get and he said the best price and a quality building. I said deal and hung up. Tim said now what? I said the Mayor wants a Union built building and he is guaranteeing the best price so put prevailing wage in the bid documents and as a private company we will take the lowest Union bid. He said Mike I got it. Dad just sat there looking out the window. Once home, Tim left and I grabbed the drawings and Ryan went to his apartment and dad and I went inside and he said Mike a minute please? I turned and got a giant hug and he said Mike, how the fuck do you do all this? Always know what to say and act? I could never do that and fuck the Mayor and the club manager you are never out of your depth. Dad you do that same thing in a different way every day, I don't understand the company and can't deal with those politics. I got another hug and he said Mike, I'm so proud of you and he started to cry. I said dad big boys do cry but really, you made me the Mike that I am becoming, deal with it, please. We hugged again and I said, I'll be right back and I called Carrie and we talked a while and said how about breakfast here tomorrow, dad will cook and we can talk in my room and dad will not be upstairs. Mike that's fine but we are talking and I said correct. We talked for a while and I asked for Sam's number. Hung up and called him. He answered hello, a bit unsure as he did not know the number. I said dude this is Mike save the damn number and I'll pick you up at 5:00 dress casual but decent. He said awesome and thanks Mike. I went back downstairs and asked dad where is there was a quiet appropriate place that I could take Carries little brother and impress the shit out of him and dad thought for a minute and said Mike don't the Pens play tonight? We have tickets and I'll get you into the igloo club, I laughed and said perfect. I called Sam back and said dude, I've changed my mind we are going to the hockey game clear that with your rents and call me back and dinner at the igloo club, he managed a sure Mike and within minutes he called and said Mike I'm good. I said ok see you at 5:00 and hung up. Comments are encouraged as this is my first story.
