Subject: It was always about the bets 101

On the way to the club I asked JJ what he liked to drink and he said beer
was always good and I said ok, just order iced tea. He laughed and said, I
heard that was the standard drink around here. At the club the manager
looked at me and said, Mike you are pushing the limits. I said I know but
it was a spare of the moment thing, JJ here is visiting and we are meeting
his dad, Major Messer the NASA Astronaut so I thought we could talk you
into an exception, or we could simply go somewhere else? He said Mike, it
won't be a problem and I said we will need a table for six. Oh, would you
please ask Jake to stop over. When he saw me he said I know two iced teas
and I said absolutely. Dad and the rest came in and were seated with no
issue. JJ said, dad you should see Mike deal with the help around here. Our
drinks came and the Major just shook his head, he looked at me and said
there is a limit, correct? I said yes sir and JJ burst out laughing. He
said, watching you guys work together will be hilarious. Jake was back and
we ordered another round of drinks JJ and I ordered iced tea again. When
they came it was exactly that. Dinner was casual and the conversation was
light and nothing serious. After dinner, I thanked the manager for the
relaxed rules, dad and I drove home and the rest went to a motel.

I called Carrie, we talked about school and everything, then she asked
about Bill. I told her that it was likely that very hard decisions would
need to be made, that none of the head scans were good. I told her that
both dad and I were a mess and that I would be school in the morning with a
shadow and she laughed. I said I babe, I love you and hung up. I just sat
there in my desk chair, leaned back and thought how in the fuck am I going
to deal with all this from Virginia?

I went downstairs and found dad in his office, I sat down lit yet another
cigarette and asked what he was thinking. Mike, I honestly believe that
Bill will not recover but tomorrow I will find a long care facility and
have him moved there, but before that, I'm asking that the ventilator be
removed. I looked at dad and said, that's fine but I think you should give
it a few days before the ventilator is removed, don't rush this. I agree
that he will not recover because I don't believe he wants to
recover. Please give it till next week at least and plan out all
eventualities. Dad looked at me and said, Mike I'll respect that but I want
this over. Dad, I get that just slow down, it already is what it became.

I went upstairs and into Bill's old room and just sat on the bed thinking
back all those years ago when we were kids, desperately hunting for a good
memory or two. Finally, I went to my room threw my self on the bed and
stared at the ceiling and then at the picture with Jim and the metal and
smiled, thinking there's my brother. I showered, set the alarm so that I
had time to run, and get JJ and be at school on time. I stripped, piled on
the covers and fell soundly asleep.

The alarm woke me and I fucking hate that, the weather was cold and dry so
it was a fantastic run. I put the coffee on and took a quick shower and it
was jeans and a hoodie and when I got downstairs dad was drinking coffee
and reading the paper. He said he was going into the office and then to the
hospital and I said well for me it is school, JJ, Coach and Carrie and the
hospital in the evening. I drove to the hotel and JJ was there in upscale
clothes, he took one look at me and said thank God, relaxing school
clothes. I laughed and said dude, I might be over dressed. I pulled into
the parking lot right behind Rob and Carrie. I got a kiss from Carrie and
we went into school.

First period was AP English and I talked with the teacher just before
class, so she was aware. Then it was Spanish and he was welcomed by the
teacher and he responded in Spanish and the whole class laughed. Then it
was calculus and then it was AP History and finally lunch. We sat with Jim,
Rob, Alex at our "private" table. On the way to meet with Coach JJ asked,
Mike how the fuck do you do all this. Those were big time classes. I
replied JJ school is the easy part but I do study a lot and get great
grades. So dude, how are your grades and he replied top 5% of my class, I
also take some AP classes. At the stadium we went into the athletic office
and Nancy got up, gave me a big hug and said she was sorry to hear about
Bill. I introduce JJ and she said Coach will be right out. Mike, you have a
visitor in the conference room, I said thanks. Nancy said JJ have a seat,
Chuck will be out in a minute. I went into the conference room and found
Coach Conn. We shook hands and I said Coach this is a surprise, what bring
you here? He laughed and said, I might rent an apartment or do you have a
spare room? So how are things? I told him about Bill and said other than
that things are great. Well Mike, we have been recruiting a kid in Houston
and I hear he is moving here? I said, fuck do you mean JJ? He laughed and
said yes, why. He told me he was an average wideout at a small school in
Houston? Coach just started laughing. Then I said I was also told he wanted
the Air Force Academy and that he finally started working out. Coach kept
laughing and said did he try to sell you beach front property in Iowa?
Damn, I did not know all that? No wonder Coach Weston's alarm bells went
off. Look, I hired his dad for my two companies, I thought JJ was along for
the ride and he is close to my friend Rob. Just then JJ and Coach came in,
I got up gave JJ a big hug and whispered you cock sucker, he whispered dude
it takes a bet to have that happen. I laughed and said nice scam you ran on
me, was Rob in on that and JJ just sat down and said, hi Coach Conn what
brings you here? They both laughed. Coach Weston said ok, I need to get one
of the top wideouts in Texas eligible here.

Mike, when did you first approach JJ's dad about a job? I said a week after
he was here for the damn press conference. When was that formal? I said the
night the board approved the position. So was this before you got Ray in
trouble? I said Coach, he did that to himself I'M NOT TAKING BLAME FOR
THAT. Ok Mike calm down. I said yes it was. Coach, what's the issue? Mike
our weakest position is wide receiver and here comes someone here to fill
that need because you hired his dad. The other teams are going to go
nuts. Coach, fuck them, we did nothing wrong. Coach Conn said Mike your
vocabulary should be better that that by now. I said sorry, but...... Coach
Weston said I know I just questioned you integrity, I'm sorry. Look, if
anyone influenced things it was Rob. Then I said, how about he gets
transferred to the air base out at the airport? Mike, just how much fucking
influence do you have? I said Coach, vocabulary and everyone laughed. I
said JJ ask your dad to call me, then I said, I'm guessing you three have
things to discuss, I'll be outside.

Outside, I was talking with Nancy. She said Mike, it is sure quiet here now
that the entire NCAA realizes that you are off the market. I laughed and
said I can fix that if you want and she said god no. JJ came out and I said
ok dipshit let's get out of here and enough with the fucking games. I drove
to the Tavern and JJ said what's with this, we went inside and the owner
came up and said what you guys drinking and JJ and I both said iced
tea. The drinks came and JJ said shit Mike, as his was iced tea and mine
was beer. I smiled and said you want to play fucking games, remember you
are dealing with the ring master. Ask Rob how much influence I have around
here. I said let's eat. I ordered a burger and fries and he said hopefully
I will have the same. It turned out that he is a pretty big deal in Texas
and at a school about the same size as mine. He is no longer registered at
the school and while we were involved this morning his dad registered him
here and they rented an apartment and yes, dad was transferred here after
resigning from NASA. He will retire from the Air Force, effective next
month. I said look dude, no more games, just like Rob, you are a cool
dude. I like you, but we all need to be upfront with each other all the
time. For coach to question me is not a good thing. He said Mike, I
understand. It was my idea. I said, JJ I need to get to the hospital, how
about I take you to the hotel? As we drove I asked, about the bets and he
said Mike, I was just kidding and I said JJ, I bet that not true. He said
Mike, no bet but you are right and it can get disgusting. At the hotel we
shook hands and exchanged digits.

At the hospital, I was told there was no change. I asked about visitors and
was told just your dad. I sat there for a while and walked around the room
sat back down and was unsettled and restless. I stayed for an hour and
drove home. At home I found dad in his office and I sat down, lit a
cigarette. Dad said so Mike what's on your mind? Dad, I'm just back from
the hospital and I have spent an hour trying to remember a good moment with
Bill and I can't, can you please help me? Dad smiled and said Mike, there
are some but you have to find them and do it soon because at some point you
are going to have to let go. I just got up and went to my room. I just sat
there for a while and finally picked up the phone and called Rob. He
answered saying, I was expecting this call a while ago. I said why so Rob?
I thought I sent a very clear message to JJ? So Mike, what's my message?
Rob, do you need a message? I'll gladly send one. Mike, I did not realize
what might happen with the coach. Rob if you and JJ want to be ring
masters, start your own circus, I'm good with that. Rob was silent for a
minute and said Mike this isn't a competition, it was a fucking joke. If
you are offended, I'm sorry, that was not the intent. I laughed and said
Rod, relax I'm good with you, I was putting JJ in his place. So how fucking
good is he? Mike, from what I was able to find out, very. However, it
appears his work ethic is not the best. He pays lip service to his dad and
the military stuff. He is polite, courteous and a real asshole. I said so
Rob, he is your best friend? Mike, he was 3 years ago and we have talked a
couple of time a week and we were in Spain last summer, but fuck I'm an
asshole when there as well. I said Rob, let's let this sit and it will be
what it becomes. So, did you clinch a section championship yet? He said no
but Friday we should, playoffs start on Valentine's Day and ends March 1st
at Duquesne. Well, I'll find a way to be there Friday. Mike, JJ is a good
dude, he just needs refocused. Rob, you and I are good, I hope. He said
Mike, we are, goodnight.

I called Carrie and we talked for a long time. I told her that until thing
changed with Bill, I would be in school and will stop at the hospital every
night, if possible. She said that she wanted to come with me some night and
I said, babe we will talk about that. I said, I love you and hung up.

I was starving as I had not eaten much. I made a sandwich and saw an
envelop for me from VT. I immediately opened it and it was from the
nutritionist and it was a broad things to eat and not to eat and amounts
and a recommendation for a multiple vitamin. I laughed and thought, not
only will I not gain weight, I'll lose some.

Back upstairs I called Tim and asked for an update and he said that the
city had approved all the permits and that construction could start any
time. I asked him to call the PR guy and to schedule a ground breaking
ceremony and that there should be a shitload of elected officials and union
people. Then I added I wanted all the hard hats to have a the Enterprises
logos. He just laughed and said, I'll call the Major right now. I laughed
and said if he isn't ready have fun, it's on you. He said asshole, I
know. Then I said, Tim you need to coordinate with Dr. Williams and we need
to get started on the Purchasing department head and an assistant. Let's
see if we can get that started, say late next week and I'll take another
day off school. He said ok, I'll get to work on that. Then I said ask Brian
to get to work on the audit, please. I would like the new purchasing people
to see it and we need to establish budgets. He said Mike, slow down. I said
Tim, if you are stressed please hire an assistant as a temp. Finally, I
would like to conduct the PA interviews in my dingy office at
Technologies. Oh, you, Brian, dad and I need to meet, either a weekend or
late afternoon thru the evening. Just let me know. Damn, you are the master
of this circus. I laughed and said well someone need to be and hung up.

Then I called Jim and said QB1 how the fuck are you and he said great, I
hear I have a new wideout that can actually run routs. I said QB that's a
work in progress and we need to talk about that and focus his ass. Jim, I
am at the point where I simply need to get shit faced drunk. He laughed and
said so what we doing this weekend? I said well Friday the basketball game,
with the girls and if you can stay over that would be awesome. He said,
Mike that would be fun, I'll let you know tomorrow. Jim, I think Eat n Park
rather than the Tavern. He said if JJ is tagging along he need to
experience the Tavern. I said fine, let's see if he is up for it, he starts
classes tomorrow. I need to know if there is anything between his ears. We
chatted about shit for a while and I finally hung up.

I went looking for dad and found him reading in the office. I sat down and
he said ok Mike, now what? Dad, I just wanted to spend some time with you,
nothing is up. He tossed me the cigarettes and I thought, fuck I don't need
these but lit it and just sat there. Dad, looked at me and said, Mike
thanks I needed the company? I said, so do you miss Sally? He laughed and
said fuck no, what brought that up? Dad, I was trying to get you to
laugh. We just sat there chatting about anything and everything. I said,
dad things are changing between Carrie and me and I'm not sure where it is
going. Mike, you two are too close and demand too much from each other. You
are together more than a married couple. I laughed and said, I know and I
need to get her involved in something that I'm not involved with. Then dad
said, I really wish you were going to separate colleges and I shook my head
and said, dad that was not worth winning that one, I gave in. Dad laughed
and said shit I wish your mon and I would have done that.

Then I said dad, speaking of mom, I'm guessing I'll take the corporate jet
and it will be both Bill and mom, I'll be dealing with. Dad laughed and
said so it will be you and Corrie and you both will become mile high
members. I said what? He laughed and said sex in a plane a mile in the
air. I laughed and said, is that really a thing? So I guess that means, you
haven't changed your mind? Mike, it's all yours. Ok dad, what about Bill?
Mike, I'm guessing that will be over and putting them together will be nice
for them. Dad, you promised that Bill would not be my problem, please deal
with him and I'll deal with mom. Dad looked and me and said, Mike I don't
do this often but this time, I'm pulling rank, deal with them together. I
know it will be emotional but you need the closure, I've been done with
both of them for years. Just get it done. I lit another cigarette and said,
dad this victory will cost you and I got up and went to my room.

In my room, I stripped lit another cigarette and started to rub one off
thinking about Jim and how many bets I want to lose this weekend. I was
tired and needed to not be in charge. As I got harder and harder, I
imagined him next to me kissing me and licking my cock, and me exploding on
my stomach and him licking it up and feeding it to me while kiss me. I fell
asleep with cum all over my stomach. At some point during the night I woke,
wondering what the cold sticky stuff all over me was and thought, I need to
have a fucking drunk fest with Jim and dozed off.

I woke as usual and had to skip the run as I had dried cum all over me. I
showered, shaved and went downstairs made coffee and was reading the
paper. At school, I saw Rob and Carrie and we went in together with Carrie
and I holding hands. The day started normally until JJ appeared in Spanish
class, showing off is Spanish skills. After class, I went up to him and
asked what lunch he had and it was the same as mine, so I invited him to
sit with us. I went to math and asked the teacher for extra work telling
him I was bored and he said, Mike, I was talking to Dr. Chan at CMU and he
is going to load you up, big time, I won't be giving you any work here at
all. I laughed and said, thanks, I think.

At lunch JJ came over and I said so dude, you working out after school
today? He said, no as he did not have a way to the apartment and in
somewhat less that perfect Spanish, I said well I'll drive you home and in
English, I said I'm anxious to see what the fuck you are made of. I asked,
what's your last class and he said study hall and I said mine as well, so
we can sign out and go workout before the others get there. He just put his
head down and started eating.

At study hall, I grabbed JJ and said, here is your pass, let's go. At the
stadium, I went to my locker grabbed an extra set of clothes and tossed
them to JJ and said ok, let's see what you got. We changed and started to
work out. I went through my usual routine and was watching JJ and he
actually was working. I thought shit, how do I deal with this. We showered
and I said dude, let's get a bite to eat and chat? He said, Mike your
driving is there a choice? I grabbed him put him up against the wall and
said, you always have a choice. I released my grip and said, so JJ what's
with you? He said, Mike WHATS with you? JJ that's what I want to talk
about, we are either going to get along or you will need to join another
circus, I went through this with a coach, Jeff and recently with Ray. I
will not do this with you, no matter what it means. So we eating and
talking today or you need more time? I let go of him and said well get in
my car I'll drive you home. I turned and was walking to the car and he
stopped me and said Mike, if I order iced tea what will it be? I smiled and
said I don't know, but it will be the same as mine. He smiled and said ok
fucker let's eat and chat, you are a piece of work.

At the Tavern we grabbed a table in the back and ordered iced tea and beers
came, JJ said thanks Mike. I said look JJ I'm not trying to be a pain but
seriously, what's your story? He said, Mike I am a military brat and I hate
all that comes with that. Rob and I were very close but that was a while
back and he accepts the military shit better than me. I said, so you just
play games with every one around you? He said, pretty much. We ordered food
and another drink and again it was beer and JJ said damn. Well JJ, I like
you but I need to see the real JJ. Are your polite buttoned up dude, when
you are with your dad, or the asshole that was in Spanish today? He said,
Mike, there is one hell of a fight coming with my rents and I will need a
support group. I will say that I am that polite kid with an attitude and I
was showing off in Spanish. JJ why? He said Mike, I don't know. I looked at
him and said, JJ I can help you adjust here and in fact make you
immediately popular, but before I do that I need to know who you are and
what I can expect from you. He said, Mike that's fair.

Then I said what's up with VT? He said I like the place and the coaches are
no nonsense and fucking push back. Dad wants me to go to the
Academy. However there are a bunch of offers from other schools and my
coaches in Houston were letting me deal with them and have not involved my
dad. Look, JJ coach will do that as well but with Jim and I this program is
not low profile. There is local media up the ass and interviews after every
game and college people all over as we have others that can play D1 and
they are getting looks because they came to see me. Look at what happened
to Jim he went from second team to starter and 9 offers in a heart beat. JJ
here's what I can do, I'll get you in with the top group, but please become
who you are around school and me, we will deal with your dad and as him and
I work together I'll be driving him nuts and that will take some pressure
off you. Fuck up and you will be forming your own circus. The food came and
we ate, ordered another round of drinks and it was iced tea. He laughed and
said, how doesn't that happen, I said JJ I do all that and it is and will
remain my secret. By the way we are all going to the game tomorrow with
dates but you are welcome to come along. Then I added, I'm betting you
leave with a date? He said, Mike that's a bet and I think we both
understand the consequences of losing. I laughed and said, yes we do. Let's
get out of here.
