Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2020 14:49:37 +0000 (UTC) From: Mike Simmons Subject: It was always about the bets 98 I woke as usual on a very nice Sunday morning and went for a run. It was a longer than normal run, about 7 miles. I was trying to clear my head and damn, I wanted to spend time with Jim and needed to spend some time with Carrie. I decided to call Jim when I got home and see what he was up to, and see if I could fit Corrie in around his schedule. Then I started to think about the relationship with Carrie. We were like a married couple, very comfortable in our skin together. Yes I loved her and she loved me but something has changed. I had no idea how to even approach this. Back at the house, I made coffee and started to read the paper and dad came in grabbed a cup of coffee and was reading some part of the paper. I put the sports section down refilled my coffee stretched and sat down and started on another part of the paper. I immediately went to the powder room and when I came out, dad looked at me and said ok kid what's up? I said, nothing I just needed to piss. He laughed and said Michael, that's a bull shit answer and you know it, what the fuck is up? I took a deep breath and said dad, it's Carrie. So Mike, you are bored, feeling smothered and she is demanding you spend the day together and if she has her way it will be in that new bed in your room, is that correct? I replied, fuck that's it exactly but now that I hear it from someone else, I got this. Mike, how do you got this? Dad, I'm going to call her and tell her to fuck off. He laughed and said seriously? I said dad it felt good just saying that and he laughed. Seriously, dad I have no idea how to deal with this. Mike, here is as idea, have a big long talk and then a major fight. Then see where the chips fall and I'm betting that they fall perfectly in place. I said thanks dad and I went upstairs. I showered and dressed in non discreet comfortable clothes and called Carrie. She answered and said Mike this is early, what's going on? I said babe I'm tired and bored and in a very strange mood. There was silence and she finally said Mike, since the VT trip things have been different and we both feel the same way. I said babe, help me out, how do you feel? Michael, just like you bored and disconnected. Babe, we are so good together how did that happen? She said, Mike you are so fucking busy and I have school and my hair and my nails and you, I need more. Ok Carrie, I'm on my way over for a very long talk at the place of your choice. She said Mike, that's easy your room, with our clothes on and the door open. I said deal, I'll be right over. I went down stairs and briefed dad, grabbed my keys and started for Carrie's. Half way there I pulled over and just sat there trying to collect myself. Then I stopped at the store filled my tank and bought the first pack of cigarettes ever, rolled down the window and lit up. Two cigarettes later I pulled into the driveway at Carries house, knocked on the door and said babe get a warm coat and she went upstairs and returned in my letterman jacket. I thought what the fuck, and she said where we going? I said babe, I have a question and a special place to ask it. We drove to the property on second Avenue, pulled into a close parking lot and I said Carrie is that worth what I'm doing? Without warning I got slapped across the face and she screamed, DON'T YOU FUCKING PUT THAT ON ME. Then quietly she said, asshole you are really pissing me off. I need something important to do and this isn't about you, it is about us. You want this jacket back? I said babe, if you think for one minute, I want you out of my life you are nuts. I fucking love you and just want to figure out a way to keep us both happy. HOW IN THE FUCK DO WE DO THAT? We sat silently for a while and she leaned and kissed me. Then she asked, Mike do I ask too much of you? Carrie, sometimes but not usually. Do I ask too much of you? She laughed and said Mike, same question same answer. But both were bull shit answers and we are both afraid of this conversation, can we please go to your room and figure this out? I started the car and we drove to my place and went inside, we said hello to dad and went upstairs. I looked at Carrie and said, babe here we are as you requested, now what. She burst into tears and I hugged here and held her, until she calmed down. I said babe, no matter what you are my future wife, we are both upset and here is what I think is happening. Our personal lives are going in different directions, I'm fucking swamped all the time and it is one thing after another all the time. True, I cause and need all that, so we need to get you involved and as thing develop you should tell me, dad or Tim what that might be. Mike, if I get involved with your companies we will be in each others hair constantly. Please tell me you will use you enormous influence to help me find my own way. Mike, separate, yet together and equal. Carrie, all I can do is try. She looked at me and said Michael James, if you really mean that it will happen. Mike, I am so in love with you it hurts. I want you every minute of every day and I know that is both unreasonable and unfair. Carrie, I feel the same way but I get pulled in a thousand different directions, I promise we will get you involved in something. Let's go down stairs and have a drink and continue this. Downstairs I got Carrie a white wine and me a scotch, and we sat there looking at each other. Finally, I said babe help me out here, what would interest you? Mike, don't get mad at me but I will know that when I see it. I leaned in and kissed her and she started to really get into it. I leaned back and said, babe that's not the answer quite yet. She looked at me and said so Mike, what is the answer? Carrie, do you remember what you told the 9th grade guys? She said yes. So babe does that still apply to how you feel about me? She looked at me and started to cry grabbed me and whispered, you asshole I love you and yes, anytime you want I'll marry you and mother your children. I said babe, let's go upstairs and practice. When we got to my room, we kissed and made out but were in no hurry. It was very tender and romantic. We slowly undressed and kissed and I licked ever part of her body and we finally collapsed and held each other. Then she said Mike, I want to spend the night. I said babe that's not happening as it is only mid afternoon and we have school tomorrow. I promise you we will do that Friday night. She reached over and was rubbing my chest and pinched my nips and I got hard right away and I thought, shit and went at it in very physical and not romantic way and fuck she was into it. I couldn't believe how hard I came and so soon. Laying there I asked, babe was that makeup sex and she laughed and said, I guess we need to call Jeff and ask. I said babe get that sexy ass in the shower and we seemed to be back to normal. In the shower we made out like crazy and I was hard again and thought, there can't be anything left. Then I thought what the fuck and I grabbed her and lifted her up and set her on my cock and we fucked until she screamed Mile pleas shoot, ahhhh this is so hot. Once she came, I lifted her off my cock and and kissed her. Slapped her ass and said can we please get dressed, I'm fucking starving. We dried off and I dressed quickly and she was drying her hair, I went downstairs, found dad and asked if he wanted to join us for Chinese? He said sure and I bet you are starving after those three less than quiet sessions. I laughed said, dad it was only two for me, I don't recover that quickly and makeup sex is fun. Carrie came down looking relaxed and it seemed that for her this skirmish was over. We sat in the game room and I got her a glass of wine and dad a scotch and me iced tea. It was a nice general conversation and the food arrived and Carrie just laughed when I was using chopsticks. She tried and it was hysterical. Dad said he would clean up and we went back upstairs. We sat in the leather chairs and talked about a lot of things. Finally she got up sat on my lap and said, Mike I love you, I was just feeling left out. I smiled and kissed her and said, I understand, believe it or not I try. Then she was rubbing my chest thru the t-shirt and she said laughing, I guess the well is dry. I kissed her again and said you up for more and she said no I'm good, for now. Back downstairs we put our coats on and I drove her home. In the driveway we kissed and I said babe, I'm not getting out I simply can't deal with your brother today. She laughed and just then the front door fled open and Sam was running towards the car, Carrie jumped out put he arm around Sam and they went inside. Before I was half way home my phone rang and I answered saying, Sam it has been a very long trying day we can talk tomorrow after our workout. To my relief he said sure, Mike that would be great and hung up. Back at home, I went straight to my room and called Jim, he answered saying, how long is your cock? I laughed and said, how did you know? He said Mike, Ash and I have been fighting for a couple of days and I assumed you and Carrie were in the same boat. It was three days being in the house and no outlet because of 12" of show. Well, Jim our fight was intense and he laughed and asked, so was the makeup sex just as intense and I said yes all three times and he laughed. What about yours, I asked? He said well it was the only opportunity we had today. He asked about the flight and I filled him in saying you owe me as I didn't puke. He was in awe about the rest of the trip and my visit with the legend. I said James tomorrow after the workout, let's just hang out no task. He said great and we hung up. There was a knock on the door and dad came in sat in one of my new chairs, asking Mike, I assume things are good with you and Carrie, is that correct? Dad, I replied, they are great but not perfect. Michael, you are expecting too much. So she resents all the things you have going on and feels unimportant and I said, correct. Then he added, keep her out of your things, she needs something to call her own. Dad, I know and I'm trying to figure out what that could be. We talked for a while about the Board Meeting and I assured him that I was ready and would be able to answer any questions at all. I asked about the Board Member replacement and he said that it was still a work in progress. I said, dad that's your call, I get the next one. We talked about the Major and dad said he is wondering if I could deal with him. I laughed and said it will be what it becomes, but he will push back hard and I get that. So dad, you alright with everything else? He said, Mike I am, but I am going to enjoy you trying to sell the idea of the corporate jet, and he laughed. Dad did you look at the most recount agenda, because that is an information item not an action item. He laughed and said, good luck with that. Dad left and I called Carrie, she was surprised I called. I asked how she was and she said good and I asked so how are we? Mike I am in a good place and I hope you are. I said babe, I'm good and makeup sex was fun. I asked what Sam wanted and she said he is becoming a real pain in the ass around here. He fights all the time with the rents and somehow he thinks he is big shit. Ok, I'll deal with it, but he is kinda king shit in his class. He is slowly becoming a force and he knows how to play the Carrie/Mike card. That and his hormones are raging. There is a growth spurt about to happen. I told him I'll talk with him after our workout tomorrow, I just need to know what the current topic is. Carrie laughed and said Mike, trust me it's sex. Fuck, it better not be, I'm sick of his need to fuck someone. I changed the subject and we talked for a while longer and I said babe, I love you and she said Michael thanks for the day, I love you as well. Monday was a perfect, totally unusual, January day and I went for a run and it was longer but I was just running not paying attention to how long. Then a thought entered into my head about running track. I immediately put that out of my head. At home I grabbed coffee went upstairs and showered, shaved and put on the preppiest clothes I could find and drove to school. Carrie looked at me and said Michael now whats with that outfit. I laughed and said, a mood thing, no idea. English was good, math was boring and damn, for the first time ever, I was enjoying Spanish. The teacher asked me a question and very quickly without thinking I replied in very poor but acceptable Spanish, Rod started to laugh and the entire class looked at us, thinking now what. In the hall that damn Rob would only talk to me in Spanish. I tried to play along but couldn't keep up. He finally stopped and said, dude if JJ comes up here you better keep up, he is more fluent than me, I thought shit and we went to lunch. At lunch, I told Jim that he was in charge of the circus tomorrow as I had a board meeting. Rob, asked what about me? In Spanish, I basically told him to go fuck himself and only he laughed. Afternoon classes were a breeze as I no longer had gym and now that was a study hall. I signed out and went to the gym and started working out. I was wearing a tank top and basketball shorts and was really going at it hard. Eventually, Jim and a few other teammates came in. I was at the point where I was doing sit-ups and then the dreaded pull-ups and I noticed Sam, with a bunch of buddies. Without being obvious, I was watching him. The little shit was going at it pretty hard and was looking good and running his mouth the whole time. Jim, came over and said Mike, what's with Sam? I said he thinks he is ring leader of his small circus. Jim, laughed and said you mean dictator. Let's get a shower. I said, I'll be there in a minute. I went up to a kid in Sam's little group, pulled his aside and chatted about nothing. Sam came up and asked, so Mike what you two talking about. I said Sam, please ask Josh and I left for the shower. As I was drying off, Sam came over and said, Mike we need to talk? I grabbed him by the shoulders, his towel fell to the floor and he was standing there naked. I said, Sam what you need to do is fucking listen. As he stood there naked, I said Sam, I don't know what the fuck is going on in your head but your rents, Carrie, me and I bet your little circle of friends over there think you have become a pain in the ass. You have an attitude about everything and are rapidly becoming a young punk, the type of kid I don't want to be around. In fact if we were on the football field and you on offense, I would make it a point to fucking knock that shit out of you. Now get in the shower, you disgust me. There was dead silence in the locker room. Jim came over and said, ok Mike take a breath, that was harsh but the little punk deserved it. Just then, Coach Weston came up to me and said, Mike do you have a minute. We went into the office and he closed the door. Mike, thanks for that, Sam has potential and a lot of it, he works hard to be like you and that attitude adjustment was needed and it means the most coming from you. I said thanks coach, but what do you need? He said, Mike details on your cousin Ray. He is transferring to Valley Forge Military Academy. I said Coach, that my doing and I told him the story. He said thanks, we shook hands and said, Mike that's a hole we will need to fill, I said yes sir, I know. As I was leaving, I stopped at the door and said Coach, Carrie needs some extracurriculars, any ideas? Mike, she doesn't need anything for college, I said I know she needs something to do so that I don't have to occupy her even waking minute. He laughed and said the old married couple syndrome, I said yes. He laughed and said let me think about it. Outside the office, a fully dressed Sam was waiting and he very humbly asked, Mike can we please talk. I said yes, knocked on the coaches's door and said Sam and I would like a minute of your time. All the color drained out of Sam's face. I smiled and said Sam, have a seat. Then I said little dude, what's on your mind? Sam said, don't call me little. I replied, Sam as long as you act like a punk you are little dude to me. Coach weighed in and said, Sam at your age, Mike would have cleaned the floor with your ass. True, you are getting bigger and working out, have a bunch of talent, but your are not Mike. You are not even a good Sam. You bully people and think that's makes you ring leader. What it makes you is a pretty intelligent stupid jock and soon the stud fuck on the month. I respect you talent and potential but not you attitude. Sam was furious and near tears and he stood up and I said, Sam sit your fucking ass down, I'm not done. Very quietly and in very nice language, I laid into him for another 20 minutes. When I stopped, he had tears in his eyes and said Mike, I'm sorry. I said dude, I hate that word and it isn't enough, just be a better person and show coach and I. He stood up and said thanks, both of you, I need to find dad. I said no you don't I'm taking you home, I cancelled your ride home. I said thanks coach and we went to the car. In the car Sam said thanks Mike, I needed that, but in front of everyone? I said Sam, you play the Mike card all the time, I needed to let everyone know that, that card comes with a price. Be a better dude and do things to become the best Sam you can be. You are not me and shouldn't want to be me, you need to be you. He got out of the car, said thanks and I drove home. At home, I went right to my room, found a new suit, shirt and tie and then noticed a folder on my desk. I opened the folder and saw a multi page financial statement and an agenda. Then there was a note from Dad. I read the note and thought fuck, he is on his was to NASA for a progress update. Dad will not be here for the Board meeting. I called Brian and he laughed and said, Mike just deal with it. We all know you are ready. I said so Brian how long have you known about this trip? He laughed and said only a week or so, I laughed and said fuck both of you and hung up. I leaned back in my chair and thought, shit I have arrived. I looked at the suit and thought this is great and upscale, expensive and trendy. I went downstairs and Ryan had dinner and I poured a scotch and on the counter was a box and another note. I opened the note and it was from dad as expected and it said Michael, these are yours and don't be mad at Brian or me. We both know you got this. I opened the box and inside there were cuff links with my initials. I thought damn that's old school, but I got the message. Don't be a young punk, win and lose gracefully, but above all else act like a mature business man. Comments are encouraged as this is my first story.
