Date: Mon, 16 Mar 2020 11:41:59 +0000 (UTC) From: Mike Simmons Subject: It was always about the bets 103 I woke with the alarm and it was still dark outside so I put coffee on and dressed so I would be seen and went for my usual run and damn it felt great. I grabbed a cup of coffee and took a quick hot shower and drove to the office, in the parking lot, I laughed when I saw dad's car. I went to my office and left a message for Brian and Kyle to stop by. Ruth appeared with coffee and I thought damn, she is in for a long day. I asked if dad was in his office and she said he is walking the building, for some strange reason. I thanked her for the coffee and left a message for Jodie asking for a morning meeting tomorrow. With all that being accomplished, I went for a walk around the dump. Things actually looked cleaner and the cafeteria was in good shape, I was really pleased. I went to dad's office and he was sitting there, smoking and reading. I laughed and asked, do you smoke all day? He looked at me and said yes. I said, dad I might make the new building smoke free, he laughed and said not my office. I told him about my schedule and he said, I can't wait till you get back to school. Just then Kyle came in and he said Mike, I have both manufacturers coming in, tomorrow at 9:00. I said shit, I was meeting the architects. Kyle looked at me and laughed and said, dude we are going to step up your technology, we have all this NASA technology and you will be techie-up big time. Email and a lot of other stuff. I smiled and said damn, I'm impressed. I still had scheduling problems meeting with Jordan and Jodie the same time I had to meet with the technology people. I called Jordan and asked that he overnight the rendering and get the mock-ups started for the furniture. He said that Jodi already has the mock-ups on order and manufacturers are Herman Miller, Steelcase and Knoll and that I should research them. I asked who was paying for all this and he said the manufacturers, it the biggest project in Pittsburgh in years and one of the biggest anywhere. I said great and hung up. But, none of this helped a lot with my schedule. I was sitting there drinking coffee and trying to figure the schedule thing out and Kyle knocked on the door, I motioned him in, he sat down and said, Mike I need your phone for about an hour and you need a computer at home. I said ok, I handed him my phone and asked if he would please deal with the technology meetings tomorrow. He said sure and no offense but it will be over your head, right now in any event. I said that I was aware and would be in to say hello and have dad stop in as well. He laughed and said, that's perfect. Then I asked about my phone and he said email. Then about the computer and he said he would get one and it would have everything I needed to be remote including a calendar. I asked, can we do al that? He said yes, but that I would need to figure out how all that works. I laughed and said, please don't damage my phone. Just then Ruth came in and said Mike, Mr. Simmons would like you to stop by his office. I thanked Kyle and headed to dad's office. I found dad, drinking coffee and smoking and reading. He said, Mike please close the door and have a seat. I thought shit, smiled and said what's up? He laughed and said absolutely nothing, I just wanted you to take a break and relax. I shook my head and said really? Dad, my scheduled is fucked up enough. He looked at me and said, Michael I am aware and that's why the break. He tossed me the cigarettes and I tossed them back saying never at work. He laughed again and said, listen can you hear the rumors flying that you and I are in a closed door meeting? I laughed and said is the the reason you dragged me here? No, I told you, you need a break and this is just a plus. Oh, next week I want you to interview people to be your executive secretary. I thought for a minute and said, you interview, I'll take Ruth and he laughed and said, Michael if you do that I quit. Besides you need someone who can keep up with you. Also, you need to watch your school attendance as there is a limit on absent days and you being eligible to play football. Dad, it is 20 days and they will wave all these days for the family death. Besides, I'll be back in school Tuesday. Dad looked at me and said the hell you will, you are back Monday, now get back to work, I'm busy. I got up snapped to attention saluted and burst out laughing. On the way out I turned and said a little too loudly, damn you are really out of touch and closed the door a little too hard. Poor Ruth just looked. I started on the company reorganization and called Brian and asked him to stop to see me and briefed him on the topic. I started a rough outline and was trying to separate the commercial accounts from the government accounts and NASA needed to be its own deal. I also had to keep in mind that as I was not even part time I could have no direct reports. There were papers and flow charts, all hand written, all over my desk when Kyle cam in and handed me my phone back. He said let's see how good you are you have two emails, please open read them and reply to the first one and reply all to the second one and he left. I looked at the phone and it seemed to be the same but I noticed an envelope icon so I touched it and two emails appeared. I touched the message and it said nice job and looked a little more and found the reply option and typed asshole and then hit send. Then the second one was from Kyle and Brian was copied so I typed you are both assholes and sent that. Put my phone down and started back on the restructure. Brian showed up a few minutes later and we started to discuss the reorganization and he offered to work on a structure and we would do a chart and see what was similar and go from there. I said thanks and as he was leaving Kyle came in and I asked Brian to stay. Kyle said, Mike that was an awesome first email, I'm saving that to embarrass you at a future date, a simple thank you would have been better but that was exactly what I expected to, get back. I laughed and said, so I'm glad I did not disappoint and we all laughed. We sat talking about things in general and I asked if they had time for lunch? We decided that it was shitty weather and we would order in. A menu was produced and I took the orders, called dad and added him in and then went and asked Ruth to please place the order and add something for herself. She dropped the paper got up and gave me a big hug and said, Mike you are different, your dad never did anything like that, but I packed my lunch so I'm good. I smiled and said Ruth, that packed lunch will be good tomorrow please humor me and order something. We went our separate way and it was about 40 minutes later when Ruth informed me lunch was ready and I spread the word and we met in the conference room. It was a very low key lunch. As we were finishing up I asked Kyle if he could help be with something. He shook his head and said what the fuck, you already blew up my day, what now? In my office I asked so I could look up information on a couple of companies. He laughed and said if there was not a funeral on Saturday I would make you spend the day with my assistant. For a smart kid you are really out of the loop. He spent an hour and I had printed reports in the three furniture manufacturers and as he was leaving Kyle said, Mike I'm not taking calls the rest of the day, find someone else to bother, see you tomorrow. I laughed and said, now that I have all this, I'm working from my home office. I grabbed my things, said good night to Ruth. I found dad doing the usual reading and smoking and said I was headed home with a pile of work. He laughed and said, I'll see you later. I called Sam and move the workout to after school. At the gym we both worked out hard and while showering I thought shit, he is working hard. While drying off I said, Sam we should hang out some? He got a big smile and said that would be great. I said, dude there are rules? He said, Mike I know, never tell what goes on to anyone, ever. I said correct and that is especially true if there are bets. On the way to his place we set some other rules and I simply dropped him off, reminding him to keep this low key. Back in the car, I called Jim and asked if he was free for dinner and he said, Mike that would be awesome. I asked if he wanted to go, to the club or the Tavern. He suggested the place in Greentree and I said that was fine if he drove. He said as long as iced tea was beer he would drive. I got home and Jim was already parked in the driveway. I dumped my papers in the kitchen and grabbed a jacket off we went. On the way we talked about school and the women, it was just two guys chilling out. Fuck, I needed that. At the bar, it was the usual, we ordered iced tea and beer appeared and I looked at the menus for something different and decided on a calzone with a basket of fries. Jim stuck with a burger. The food came and I just laughed there was no way I was eating all that. Jim said that JJ was actually working his ass off in the gym and that it was time that the three of us hung out some night. I told him that JJ was invited with come to the game with us tomorrow and that I bet he left with a date. Jim laughed and said, so he is up for the bets? I said apparently it's also a nasty Texas thing. Then I mentioned Sam and he replied, isn't he young for our group? I said possibly not as he already bets and from what I here they are less than innocent tasks. We finished eating paid the bill and were walking to the car when Jim said Mike can we get a room and just get our rocks off? I said why a room, we can use my place and we can drink there. He said Mike, any chance I can spend the night? I said Ok, what's the problem? He said well we have not hung out in like forever and I need quality time just you and me and without the circus or the girls? I asked again, are things all right there and he said absolutely, in fact that are too alright. I said what? He said, fuck I'm in love with her. I laughed and said so flip fucking with me helps that how? He said, Mike don't be an asshole, you know exactly how it is. Jim, I'm just fucking with you and you are right we need time together, remember, I called you for dinner and not Carrie. As we pulled into the driveway, I said so Jim, what's the bet? He said that I bet you beat out of three arm wrestling. I laughed and said so you want to lose, that's a fucking bet. He laughed and said dude left arms, I'm not risking my meal ticket. I laughed and said, either way. Inside I ask what he was drinking? He said Mike, whatever you are having. I said Scotch as I have a busy day tomorrow and that does not get me hung over and I'm on a limit anyway. He said fine let's start. I asked, first are you staying the night? He said yes, if that's ok? I said sure but you are in the guest room. Jim, I have to work and you have school. Mike, I'm taking the day off. Jim, you are my best bud but please don't involve me in that. Do your rents know? He said, Mike they know I'm here and taking the day off, in fact they have me working. Jim, I said, I'm sorry to question you. He didn't say anything sat at the kitchen bar, put his elbow on the table and said let's go. I sat down we locked hands and I played with him for a while and finally just slapped his arm to the table. The second time was just a very quick loss for Jim. He put his are around me and said, let's just go upstairs and fuck, I need to feel you in me, however you want. Upstairs I said Jim, just strip and he quickly did and stood there. I thought, damn he wants it rough and I'm not in the mood for that, unless it happening to me. I looked at my wingman and said dude, kneel down. He did and was kneeling in the middle of the room and I was sitting on the bed. I said, ok stud crawl over and take my shoes off. Once they were off, I said remove my socks, no hands. He looked up at me and started using his teeth. It took a while but when that was done I stood undid my belt and said pants, no hands. Jim sighed and did as requested. I took my shirt off and was standing there in my tented boxer briefs. Jim just knelt there waiting and I grabbed him and helped him to his feet and hugged him. I whispered in his ear, I know you want it rough, I'll try but I'm not in the mood as romantic would suite me better. I kissed him and he kissed me back, grabbed me pushed me on the bed and said, Mike I just need you, all of you and I don't care how. Laying in the bed I looked at him and said dude, right now what's up? He said, nothing at all. I just really need to have sex with you. Then he said, I get your need for a bet but I would rather just get nude and have sex with you and honestly admit I need you sexually. I kissed him and said, Jim I'm sorry but I need the bets and you can't lose every time, I can't deal with that. He got up on one elbow looked me in the eye and said Mike, I'm in love with you and Ashley. Pleas do what she does and make love to me. I said Jim, don't be upset, you are my best bud and we share everything but I don't feel like that about you. He said asshole, I know that and that I am sex of a different flavor. I hope this doesn't change things and we can still be best friends. Jim, it doesn't change a thing. We are both bisexual the difference is you with feelings and me with flavors and just so you know neither of us will be exclusive as we are going to deal with JJ. I really want him to lose to both of us. Then I leaned in and started to kiss Jim! I did not get the response I expected, I looked at him and he had tears in his eyes, I whispered in his ear, dude, we are good and big girls don't cry. He laughed and started kissing me and making out. We had an intense secession and he sucked me so much that my cock was hurting. At some point I pushed him on his back got the lube smeared some on his hole and some on my cock, put my hand over his mouth and drove it balls deep and simply started pounding him as hard as I could for as long as I could. I finally shot a big load in his ass. I collapsed on top of him and we started to make out. I grabbed his ears and pulled him close and said your turn and he smiled and said I was hoping you would say that. We made out for a while and he was hard and ready and there was lube and he slowly entered my hole and slowly fucked me depositing his load in my ass. We laid there for a while and I said shower. We took a long hot shower, dried off and went down stairs and poured two scotches and sat in the game room. He looked at me and said Mike, thanks for not being mad about what I told you. I said wingman, I get it, just don't let the that impact our relationship. I love your as well but in a totally different way. Let's just be there for each other and in every way possible. We talked about the team, strengths and weaknesses. The upcoming meeting, finally I said Jim let's get another drink and go back upstairs and talk some more. Up stairs I sat in one of the leather chairs and Jim joined me, I lit a cigarette, cracked the window and sat back down. I said Jim, now that emotions are quieter what the fuck is going on. You can't love Ashley and me the same way. He said Mike, I don't feel the same way about both of you. I said Jim, I need an explanation. Mike, don't do the Mike thing and complicate this. Mike, you and Ashley are very, very special I love both of you. Fuck, Jim I love you and Carrie so what was that all about earlier? He laughed and said, Mike I thought I was loosing you? SERIOUSLY, I screamed I know I'm busy but damn. Jim, I'm sorry but not true. Then I went into everything from the trust to the business entanglements and he sat there with his mouth open. Jim, I told you. Most of this before. He laughed and said, Mike, I thought the running suit and a lot of if it was bull shit. Fuck, I should have known betters. I shook my head got up pulled him to his feet gave him a big hug and said, wingmen don't ever bull shit each other, now let's swap loads to seal the deal, wingmen for ever. We stripped and climbed into my bed and damn it was a good thing it was bigger as we filled the damn thing, we were sucking and licking each others balls and dam I was relaxed for the first time in days. I shot first but Jim wasn't far behind and we kissed with both our mouths were full of baby batter and we kissed until it was all gone. We went into the shower to clean up and just let the hot water pour over us. While drying off I said, Jim please let's never get to this point again where someone feels hurt or ignored. We high fives and went back downstairs. Downstairs I got each of us another drink and dad came in and joined us saying so guys who lost the bet? Jim turned bright red and I laughed and pointed to Jim. Then I said dad, Jim is spending the night and taking the day off tomorrow and before you ask, he tells me his rents are aware. Dad said, Mike if you say so but you need to be sure. Jim instantly replied, Mr. Simmons, if I tell your son something it is always the truth. Dad laughed and said so was that make-up sex upstairs or was their actually a bet? We both laughed and replied at the same time yes. Dad laughed and started to ask all kinds of questions about VT and college and living arrangements and damn it was both fun and intense. Then I said, guys I have a very complicated day tomorrow and there is a shit load of work that I brought home that someone kept me from doing. Jim, the guest room is yours sleep as late as you want. He stood up and we hugged and I went upstairs and started on the information about the three manufacturers. It took a while and they were indeed different, was was innovative, one was artsy and very stylish and the other very large and functional. It was not easy and a combination of all of them would work best but that was not an option as that would result in three dealers and three manufacturers and complications up the ass. Just then there was a knock andJim came in saying, shit you were working and damn,I'm betting you did not call Carrie and I said fuck, I'm wondering if I still. Have a date for the game? Jim left and I immediately called Carrie and it was obvious that I had disturbed her sleep. I said babe, I'm sorry this is so late and I'm sorry it was work shit and dad and Bill. She said Mike, thanks for calling I'm hoping dinner before the game and I said I'm hoping for more, I love you and I hung up, fight averted. I was hoping to pick her. Up at school and come here for some fun and then order in and go to the game, deal with JJ and another night with Jim and possibly JJ. Thinking about JJ, I liked the dude and it was cool that he was comfortable enough to run that game on me. Also, I'm glad to increase my circle of close friends, BUT there is his tendency to game play. Then I thought that I needed to get to know Alex and possibly Sam better, Alex was at lunch with us daily but ran in his own circle, I needed to check that out. As it was really late I got my close ready for tomorrow and it was a casual Friday so it was dressy jeans and a polo shirt and running shoes. I set the alarm stripped and climbed into bed.
