Date: Tue, 7 Sep 2021 15:11:50 +0000 (UTC) From: Mike Simmons Subject: It was always about the bets 279 Monday brought a foggy morning which is typical for this time of the year and I decided to run and stay close to the curb and pay attention. I was a bit surprised as JJ was waiting. The runs were getting faster almost daily. It wasn't competitive it was just happening, which was good. When we finished he said MJ, we need to get to VT for a game. Ok JJ, when? Well we could leave early Saturday morning, watch the game, get a room and fly back early Sunday. I laughed and said well that's a couple of days with no drinking. He said MJ, I forgot about that, let me think that over and we can talk about it tonight. I readily agreed and wet to my place, put coffee on and showered and dress to meet the dress code at work. At school, it was the usual morning well except there was a note in my locker from Heather saying that she would call me tonight. I simply thought that was different but hurried to class. I smiled at the sexy English teacher and sat in my usual seat. It was a detailed discussion on American poets and I was more than ready for that. History was also good but I was much less prepared to and wasn't all that interested in the Great Depression and FDR's election. The only thing that was getting me through AP Physics was my memory and math ability. I spent a very boring gym class reading for history. Once that was over, I signed out for work and drove to the new building. I parked in the lot and again noticed there was no reserved parking, I grabbed my laptop and while walking to the building, I thought we should keep the parking that way. I chatted a bit with the security guy and went to the conference room and there was a meeting of some sort going on and I wasn't interrupting that so I looked around and found an unoccupied station and plugged in my laptop and was watching it load when Liam appeared. He smiled and said damn, you are hard to find. I laughed saying well there was no place at the inn so I hunkered down here. Mike, unplug that thing and follow me. In the back corner of the building was a small conference room meant for a 6 person meeting. It had a mini version of the table in the large conference room and the same AERON chairs. I looked around and thought this will be great and I noticed that he had ordered food. I looked at him and said Liam, what's this and he said lunch, well a club sandwich, a small salad and iced tea. I said thanks sat down and plugged the laptop back in. Liam had the same thing for lunch and we started to eat and I asked, so how you dealing with things as I have been missing in action. Well Mike, the complaint have ground to a halt and I haven't had any of that shit to deal with in a couple of days. Dillon keeps me very busy and as you know the phase 2 move starts this weekend. We are following the same procedure as the last time and when you have a chance you should see the furniture, it's every bit as awesome as this floor. They have been going full blast on the build outs on the 4th floor. We should be in there in late October. I have met several times with the furniture people and they will easily meet that schedule. Liam, thanks for lunch but as my assistant your job will never include feeding me. He laughed and said, so I have heard, just deal with it but I never get coffee. Liam now that I'm back I want to bring you up to speed with the business aspect of things. Generally I don't do the day to day stuff and largely only keep tabs on things. After we are done I have a meeting with Dillon and Riley at the same time, I won't need you for that. Tuesday is Major Jim and a call to Jace at the Winery, I would like you there for both those. Wednesday is lunch with Kyle and again you are excused. Thursday is a meeting with Scott Cleary and then a 1:30 lunch with John Carson, you should plan to attend and it's his turn to pick the place so coat and tie. Is that a problem? He smiled and said nope. This first round all you need to do is listen and make a good impression, at some point you will be interacting with all these people. Liam smiled and said thanks I was hoping this was going to be more that dealing with crybabies. I actually laughed at that and said, thanks for lunch and it better be on you expense account. I spent the next 30 minutes reviewing the financials, which I had ignored all of last week. It continually amazed me how we simply made money and a lot of it. When Dillon and Riley arrived I started with so have you two made a decision on who is CEO and who is COO. Riley laughed and said well we have decided on CEO. I looked and asked what is that exactly? Dillon replied Co-Executive Officers. I just shook my head and said just so it fucking works. We had a lengthy discussion on the upcoming move and as it was the second time there was a routine being developed and it was all organized. I asked about Liam and they both said he was doing a great job and isn't backing down on anything. Then Dillon added that he meant that in a good way. Riley added he is direct and no nonsense. I thanked them closed up my laptop and drove to school for practice. JJ was as usual was sitting in the back and I joined him. We were both trying to pay attention but it was very superficial and we were bored. I was hoping we were invited to Wyatt's place to work with his grandfather. Then I thought what we are getting from coach is plenty good, Wyatt's grandfather is like a college team review. Hell, 90 minutes of his insight might make a difference in the playoffs. Once the films were over we went to the field and walked through some new plays for the next game. None of the new plays were anything special but all we needed to do was execute what we now do. On the way to the field house Wyatt asked if we're doing films with his grandfather. JJ said well I need to prove to him that it isn't TV that motivates me. This time JJ drove Wyatt home and we arrived at the same time and immediately went inside. Wyatt's grand father was waiting for us and he looked at JJ and said Tex, I never thought I would see you unless your ass was going to be on TV. JJ Staired at him and said John, I'm not Tex and it is either Jim or JJ and you don't know shit about me so don't judge me until you do. JJ started to leave and Coach Carson said JJ just sit the fuck down and while you could have been a bit more polite you have a point. JJ simply sat down and didn't say a word and I could tell he was pissed. Then he looked at Wyatt's grandfather and said, I'm much mort that a hick cowboy, I'm smart, I actually work hard and it looks like I might be a defensive back who can also catch. The cowboy image is going away once I figure who the fuck I am becoming. Can we please look at some film. It was the same intense film session as the last time and we all learned a lot. Special attention was given to their offense and there was even some film from the previous week. When we were finished JJ said a curt thanks coach and left. Wyatt looked at me and asked what the fuck is up with JJ, I have never seen him like this. His grandfather laughed and told Wyatt to watch his language. Mike can I have a word alone? Wyatt immediately excused himself. As soon as we were alone I was asked if JJ and I were ok? I said Coach, we have both had a tough weekend. Mike, I know you had a very complicated week and JJ was there for you but what's going on with him? Coach John, he has changed a lot since he was dragged here and he is slowly leaving the Texas thing behind, well that image. He is correct he works hard and had good grades and VT is conflicted where to play him. Coach John laughed and said if they are conflicted as to where he fits you two should go somewhere else. He is born defensive back, strong safety. I smiled and said well we are not a package deal he was going there before I even met him. We have each others backs. With that I said thanks and and drove home. Once there I immediately called JJ and he answered by saying, I'm sorry that happened. JJ that's bull shit. Just tell me what's going on? MJ, it's football I love playing defense and need to find out where I fit at VT, that's why I need to get down there. JJ will you go somewhere else? MJ, I need to force the issue with them and I know I need to earn my way on that team but I'm a better safety than a wideout. JJ, just answer the question would you change school choices? MJ, I already know you are leaving me wherever senior year as you will be three and done at VT. Ok, JJ we can get to the game at VT on Saturday and you need to talk with Coach B before we get there. That dude doesn't do well when he is surprised. Understand that I have checked it out and they are weak at safety and at wide out after graduation this year. They are building for what will be our junior year, well your junior year. That's why Shawn and a couple of his buddies were red shirted. As for that 4th year we have time to adjust to that and you will try to go PRO in any event. We will be close and I hope lovers but have our own lives. Does that help you at all? Before you answer know this I will never ever hurt you and we might have issues and we will talk it through. JJ was quiet for a few seconds and said MJ, it's the thought of being at VT for a year without you? JJ, you can take summer classes or simply turn Pro and finish college in you spare time. After you left Coach Carson said your were born to be a defensive back and he is sure the people at VT know that or should be fired for being incompetent. JJ said thanks and we are good and MJ, I love you. I smiled into the phone and said, right back at you. We hung up and I thought damn even love with guys is complicated and there will be many more discussions like that. I poured an iced tea and was trying to figure out the CMU math when my phone rang and it was Coach B from VT. I said good even Coach what can I do for you? He laughed and said keep playing linebacker like you did last week and don't get hurt. I laughed and said working on that. Mike, any chance you JJ and hopefully Josh can make the game this week? Well to be honest JJ and I talked about it after films tonight but have not made a decision. Besides, Josh might want to make that visit with his parents. Mike, I promise we won't talk with him or pressure him in any way. I laughed out loud and said well I'm guessing you are leaving that up to Shawn. Coach ignored that and said, well Josh would be a bonus but we really want JJ down here as there are rumors flying around the circuit that schools are starting to look at him a defensive back and we, well I, need to see where his head is. Coach, you need to talk with him, I'm not getting involved but you are correct, and that's all I'm saying. One of us will let you know, if we can make it and we will do that by Wednesday. Mike find a way to have JJ make that call and have them track me down. Ok, I'll get that done, is there anything else. Just, play harder than you are. Much more like last week. Coach, that message was sent and received. Coach B laughed and asked, who had the balls to send that message? A retired coach, John Carson from Ohio. Coach B laughed and said, tell that old bastard I said hello. Mike, he knows his shit. I said Coach, I know that and you should talk to him about our team. That was as much of a hint as I was giving him and we hung up. I was worried about the trip and how it might be an issue with things at the winery. I needed the harvest not to be this weekend. I was pretty sure that was the case but I wanted to be there, especially for the first one. I knew that I would know about that tomorrow so I put it out of my mind and started math. That lasted about 30 minutes and my phone buzzed. It was a number that I remembered to be Hanna's number so I answered with, you must have dialed an incorrect number, girls I date or try to date never call. She laughed and asked well I warned you unless AP English dudes can't read. Oh babe, I can read and a bunch more than that. She laughed and said well stud, I'm counting on that. To end the banter I asked are you coming to the game Friday? Dude that depends if I'm invited afterwards. Heather, I would like you to meet me after the game and then we will go with a select group and experience the experience of the Tavern on game night. We talked about school and other inane shit and I finally asked her to the home coming dance. She asked if I actually danced or simply hung all over her and tried to make out. I laughed and asked is that a yes? She said of course stupid and we exchanged good nights and hung up. It was a busy night and I finished one section of the math and jumped into bed and was quickly asleep. JJ and even Cole were up for the run with Cole bitching the entire time about the new and faster pace. Cole asked for a ride to school as his car was in the shop for oil change and tire rotations. He said they had a match today and that playoffs started next week and he would be missing a bit of school. I said sure and be ready in 15. With that it was a shower and clothes for work and I needed to figure that out as I was overdressed for school. At school Heather was waiting outside the building and I went up to her and we kissed and I asked that she not meet me at this spot and that even 5 feet away was good and she laughed and said I was wondering if you noticed but I'll meet wherever I want and get that fucking bitch out of our head and then we kissed again and it was enough that people clapped. I didn't see JJ but his truck was there and I had no idea but knew something was up. I didn't have to wonder long as half way through English class there was a knock on the door and coach Weston appeared asking if he could borrow me for a few minutes. The sexy teacher was displeased but said sure coach and don't make a habit of this. Coach nodded and we headed to his office buy he stopped at the cafeteria, which was empty, said this won't take long but I just had an interesting chat with JJ. Mike he asked to play receiver on a limited basis and full time at safety. Mike that was bad enough as he also asked how he opened his recruiting. Coach, if I can manage it we will leave early Saturday morning and fly to VT and watch the game. Coach B is very aware of the interest in JJ as a defensive back and feels the same way but JJ hasn't communicated with VT. Oh, Wyatt's grandfather thinks he is a born D-back. Mike where are you and JJ? Look coach we are vert tight and have each other's backs and that includes letting each other make their own decisions. So coach, what are you doing with JJ? Mike, I'll play him on defense as I would be nuts not to and spot him on offense. I just shook my head and said just play him a lot in both positions and win. Then I asked if there was anything else and as there wasn't I went to history. Classes were good and I emailed the Major and Liam saying I would be 30 minutes late and went to lunch. I grabbed a sandwich and a salad and sat down beside JJ. I looked right at him and asked so if I can swing it do you still want to go to the game Saturday or have thing changed that much? He gave me a sick smile and said nothing has changed, just need to see how much they actually want me. MJ, you play that game with them all the time and I know you are unaware of this shit but I am and I went from no ranking as a d-back to 27. To complicate things I'm 27th as a receiver. I laughed and asked what's my ranking? He laughed and said I don't give a shit but I did look and in spite of you less than spectacular play you are still number 1. I laughed and said JJ calm the fuck down and I'll move heaven and earth to get us there. What do you think about Josh? MJ, he is in the top 15 as a Junior backer so we might as well start the pressure as it's coming like a freight train. On the way out of lunch I stopped Josh and asked if he wanted to come to VT this weekend and watch the game? He just looked and then said, let me chat with the rents and I'll let you know. With that I drove to work. When I got to the parking lot I was wishing I had a spot closer and the building was only 25% full. I was running late and went straight to my work area and turned on the laptop and before it booted Liam appeared and we quickly reviewed what he had to talk about and the Major Jim appeared and he had a full agenda. There was an upcoming weekend trip to Houston, there was the plans for the next meeting and interview with Diane. Then finally a detailed discussion about the Jet and a request from Cessna for a photo op. I told him about the weekend trip to VT, the harvest and the homecoming dance. He just shook his head and said Mike, there is no way around this you are going to need to miss some school and thus practice. Is that possible and I said yes but I need to be in school on Friday. Then I added Monday and Thursday's are the best days for me to miss as I can have Wyatt's grandfather catch me up on films. Then he made my day when he said Mike, it's time to adjust the planes we have. No one flies the single engine thing and we should drop that from the lease and add a small jet. It will help with getting you ready for the new Cessna. Mike understand you and your sidekick can't take that up unless Jack or I are on board. I smiled and said understood. Liam was just taking all this in. As with every bit of good news in my life it comes with a price and the Major asked for a minute of my time alone. I checked the time and asked Liam to set the conference call up with Jace and I would be ready in 15 minutes and the Major said that's more than enough time. Once we were alone the Major asked what's with JJ, he is always in his room and isn't saying much at all. Hell, it's back to the old days. I smiled and said Jim it's football and he is reading his press clippings and wants to play d-back and doesn't know what the people at VT will say about that. His rankings have exploded as a d-back and are the same as his rankings as a wideout. Jim, he asked to go to VT this weekend, we talked about things, Coach B called me last night and JJ and I talked today, that's why I was late. Bottom line is that he is a natural at d-back and he loves the position and need to know the VT people know it and he is developing a plan B in case they don't. You need to grab his face mask sit him down and help him, even when he tells you to fuck off. Jim laughed and said thanks and I asked that he send Liam back in. Liam came in and this time he had a pad and pen and he said Mike, Jace is on line 2. I connected the call and put it on speaker and Liam got up and closed the door. We exchanged pleasantries and started on the financials which were better than I had hoped. Jace said the store was closed Monday and Tuesday every week as there was no traffic but business was great on the weekends and that Charlie and he expected that to hold through October. Then he said he had been meeting with the workers to harvest the grapes and that they had harvested the grapes from France and that the rest of the crop would be first week in October and that both Charlie and the workers were sure that was correct. I asked about the harvested grapes and was told they were in the process of becoming wine and that it was a great harvest. He said that he would like to rebrand the wine as New York French and increase the price by 2 or 3 dollars a bottle. If that didn't work he would have a sale which would be the normal price. That he was planning n add campaign and that him and Judy were working on that. I smiled and asked so you two can stop fucking long enough to get that done? That comment was ignored and he asked when I was coming up and I said for the big harvest and should be there all day Saturday Nd leave late Sunday. I told him we would have a jet by that time so travel time would be shorter. He said that the financials would be emailed before dinner and we hung up. Liam had taken copious notes and explained he need to keep something totally new in note form as he doesn't even eat grapes. I laughed and asked if he could find the Major and have him come back for a few minutes. When the Major returned I asked if he could talk Diane to an interview the first week of October and we would put them up at the cabin. Hell I need to get up there sooner as I have two cabins under construction. Jim laughed and said well in looking at your schedule you could go up next Sunday after the homecoming dance. I smiled and asked if he could fly us up in the new jet? He asked us? I said yup JJ, me and the girls. Ok, but one of you is the copilot and there will be no mile high pins. I laughed and said deal. As he was leaving I said, we will need two rentals. One for you and one for JJ, I'll use the winery truck. By the way, I'll send you the financials to share with the others we are making money. Once the Major left Liam said Mike, your lunch Thursday is at the City Grill. I smiled and said thanks as it was better than the Duquesne Club. Also, Kyle said he will meet you tomorrow at 12:30 at South Hills. Damn thing were getting better and better. I thanked Liam and asked him to call Jace and have the winery financials sent to him as well. I closed up the laptop and drove to school for practice. As was the case all day I was barely on time or running late and for practice I was barely on time. It was a very quick change into full pads and practice was intense and I was exclusively on offense and JJ was on defense. Then JJ was moved to offense for the new plays and he just stood there and coach Weston went over and there was a quiet but testy conversation and JJ started to walk away. Then I heard Messer, get back here right now. JJ stopped and turned around and just stood there. Coach went over and started to say something and JJ turned his head and coach reached out and grabbed his face mask and gently turned it so JJ was looking right at him. There was a very one sided conversation and coach released the face mask and JJ nodded and went to the huddle. The play was called and JJ went through the motions and Wyatt's pass went incomplete and coach screamed JJ, we will run that pay all night and you can fuck all your teammates while you try to make a point. I don't care but your team might. JJ ran a great route, caught the pass, stiffed armed the back and ran 40 yards for a TD. The he set the ball in the end zone and slowly walked back. I could see coach trying to control himself and once JJ returned he called us together and it was short but ended with, gentlemen the showers s will be turned off until that ball sitting in the end zone is sitting on my desk. Then he said ONE FOR ALL and walked away. Immediately 5 or 6 teammates were in JJ's face and he sprinted to the end zone picked up the ball. In the locker room JJ knocked on the coaches door and showed him the ball and was waved in. JJ slammed the ball on the desk so hard we heard it in the locker room. All we heard was coach yelling SIT. JJ did and there was a very animated conversation which got quiet and the JJ stood up and quietly went to his locker. I simply took a hot shower and dressed and started to my car. JJ yelled MJ, hold up and I kept walking. All of a sudden there was a hand on my shoulder and I was spun around and JJ looked at me and said please. I hugged him and said dude, my place and I got in the car. JJ was right behind me and he plopped himself on the loveseat and I handed him a beer and said when you are calmed down and that beer is gone and possibly a second one come find me, I'll be in my room. About 15 minutes later JJ appeared and handed me a beer and asked MJ, what's next. JJ how about you call this number and tell the dude who answers that you and I will be down Saturday for the game and would like 3 field passes. MJ, whose number is this and I took a swig of the beer and went and sat beside him and we kissed and I said please just call the fucking number and for the first time today do what you are asked to do. I grabbed my beer and left him to make the call. While JJ was on the phone I called Shawn and told him JJ and I would be down and possibly a junior line backer. He laughed and said I know and at least this time you are not the problem. I explained that there would be no drinking as we were flying down and it was such a short trip there was no window in which either of us could drink. He said his apartment would be available for us as he would spend the night at the girl's place. I said awesome and that we would see him after the game. Then he said by the was Coach is taking you guys to dinner. About 30 minutes JJ appeared and sat down beside me and leaned in and kissed me and all of a sudden my shirt was off and we were making out. Then he was naked and I was pulled to my feet and talked to the bedroom where I was put on the bed and quickly stripped. We were making out the entire time. Then he started sucking and licking my cock and balls and I was hard as a damn rock. I pulled him off my cock and we made out some more in a very poor attempt to slow things down. JJ realizing that found some lune in the night stand and lobbed my cock and as I laid there he straddled me and then simply sat on my cock. Then with my cock up his ass he leaned forward and started to kiss me and at the same time was slowly riding my cock. All of a sudden his hands were around my neck squeezing and he was riding harder and faster. I was being slowly chocked and damn that made he harder and when I shot deep in his ass I thought it might shoot out his mouth. JJ let go of my throat and my cock slipped out of his ass and he laid beside me on one elbow and smiled and we kissed again. Finally he said I don't know how the fuck you do it but thanks. I simply stood up pulled him sideway on the bed and devoured his cock until he unloaded in my mouth and I held most of it in my mouth and we kissed. Then we took a quick shower together and he said, I guess I need to explain things to the rents. I shrugged and s aid well to the coach as well. With that he was gone.
