Date: Sun, 14 Aug 2022 13:26:07 +0000 (UTC) From: Mike Simmons Subject: It was always about the bets 344 I woke after a restless sleep that was never a deep sleep and the hearing and basketball and Nicky ran through my head. As I was making coffee I laughed and wondered what Chuck was up to. Then I looked out the window and my mood darkened as it was sleet and freezing rain. That eliminated the much needed run. All that was left was jumping jacks, sit-ups and push-ups. I did that for an hour and was a sweaty mess and feeling marginally better. A long hot shower and dressed in a sweatsuit made the coffee and toast tasted great. I was hoping to steel dad's newspapers but at my door was the local paper and the Harrisburg and Philadelphia newspapers. There was a note which said, enjoy and signed dad. The Harrisburg article on the front page headline was: PAAA HAS NO ANSWERS AT CONTENTIOUS HEARING. The article went on to state that the Executive Director with a PhD. In Sports management was was blindsided by Mike Simmons a high school senior from District 7 and a member of the 4A football state championship team. The article simply outlined my opening statement. There was a mention about drug testing and being placed in a tough spot and that I answered the question in detail. That was followed by a statement indicating that there would be no further answers to health related questions as they were private. Then I laughed as the article went on to state that the Executive Director reaching deep into his vocabulary and using words not often used blasted the senior. Given a chance to reply Mike Simmons matched the vocabulary level and then asked the Executive Director to get into the weeds and discuss the issues. In checking with the English Department Dean at Penn State, he gave the edge to the high school kid as he responded quickly and at an equal level to the Directors prepared and obviously rehearsed statement. In conclusion the article stated that there would be a continuation of the hearing at the PAAA's offices on Monday. The conclusion will be for the PAAA to enlarge there Board-table. The only question is by how much. I was about to start the Philadelphia newspaper when my phone rand and it was Dr. Johnson. He started right in saying Mike, the police got there just ahead of us and detained 16 kids. The charges are underage drinking, disorderly conduct and 2 for resisting arrest. One an 18 year old Senior demanded a blood test and was insistent that he was not drinking and he is a starter on the basketball team, those results are pending. Oh, there were 2 sophomores a girl and a guy having sex in the basement. Mike, the police were pissed as this was the third time they were called to the Shirley home and the parents weren't home any of those times. They are done cooperating with the kids. Doc. how many players were involved and he said 2 JV and 2 varsity. Mike, this doesn't involve the team or the school. I laughed and said well do you remember the reaction you had when we were partying at Jeff Bosh's place before football started last year? Doc. said yup and I said well pretend it's Groundhog Day. Mike, what does that mean? Oh, remember that movie, do it again and next year and on and on. Mike, you will help with that? Nope, talk with Wales, it's his turn and he is up to it. Doc, thanks for the update and I'll see you at 1:00 and hung up. I poured another coffee and was thinking about how much of a shit show this had turned into. Then I thought about the party at Jeff's and how Carrie and I had left without drinking and Ray being passed out drunk and nude not even knowing who he was with or how he got naked. Jason, the senior varsity starter might have been in the same position. I knew him and wondered how or why he was there. I needed to know what happened. I needed to find a way to put Rob in charge and I was hoping JJ would help as they were both military brats. I knew Rob has become very quiet after the Carrie affair, claiming he was the father of her kid, when all along it was an older guy she was doing to get work for the firm. This entire thing was bringing back ugly memories. I needed to clear my head so I started doing more jumping jacks when Cole appeared. He grabbed a bottle of water and sat saying, don't let me stop you? I laughed and asked what's up? Well MJ, mom and I would like you to be available for dinner tonight. Sure Cole, I can make that happen so it's a family thing before you trip, I'm guessing, later tonight to Hawaii. Wow MJ, I thought you forgot and it appears you were just letting me do my thing. I smiled and said well Cole, this is your thing and you said you wanted to manage it. How about some details. Ok MJ, Liam and I have a direct flight out of Greater Pittsburgh tonight at 11:45. It is about 10 hours and we get there early in the morning, their time. We are sharing a room at the resort. Sunday will be practice at the range and Monday and Tuesday will be practice rounds and more practice. Wednesday is the Pro Am and more practice. If I miss the cut, we will come home sometime Friday with a stop in Seattle. If I make the cut it is a flight to LAX Sunday night and home sometime Monday. Ok dude, what about your finals? I had two and took them on Thursday and did really well. Don't get like mom about my grades as I have all A's. I'm not giving the rents any excuse to limit my events. So MJ, did you hear about the cops busting a party last night? I shook my head and said Cole, I talked with the principle just before you got here and told him to talk with Wales. I already have a meeting with the basketball team about bullying. Cole laughed and said, shit I expected that last week. Look Cole, I'll deal with it but that damn place needs to run without me. MJ, it will and you have Josh and Wyatt in position to make it happen. Understand you are still here and until you give that speech at graduation it is your problem. I'll see you at dinner and he left. I picked up the Philadelphia paper and it was pretty much the same until they interviewed the Athletic Director of Philadelphia Public Schools. He said that he watched the hearing and was kicking himself for not being there. That High School Senior really put it to the PAAA but he missed one important thing. There is no State Championship as we are not in the PAAA and neither is the Philadelphia Catholic League. A couple of their teams tried and that lasted 1 year and they were back. Too many silly rules and their playoffs were a step down. I just laughed and said damn, I forgot that. Then Jim called and bailed on the meeting as he had to work as someone called off at the Pharmacy. Hell, I would bet that he called that guy off so he had to work. Josh arrived just before Wyatt and JJ and I knew JJ had picked up QB1. I explained the party situation and the excessive hazing and who was involved. I asked Wyatt to get to know Nick and was told that his good fried is Rod the kicker and they both play soccer. I just looked at Wyatt and he said he would talk with Nick and he was a good kid that needed away from mommy. I just laughed at that. I told Josh and Wyatt that Doc Johnson was waiting for them and that next week he would be dealing with both 10th and 11th grades and would need their help. Wyatt looked like he would shit his pants and I said dude, don't say anything with the Juniors but with the Sophomore Class weigh in. Then I added that I trusted him and it would work out. JJ and I would deal with the team and the bullying. JJ, I'm hoping Rob gets there early so the two of you can talk.JJ, we talk all the time but mostly in Spanish as we are practicing for next year, I'm taking Spanish 101 at VT. I just laughed and said find out what the fuck is going on and I need a read on that Jason dude. That took 20 minutes and the 4 of us were at school by 12:30. Josh and Wyatt went right to Administration and JJ and I hooked up with the varsity basketball coach. He agreed to introduce JJ and I and then tell the team that we were in charge until he said otherwise. I smiled and said thanks. At 1:00 the Varsity and JV coaches and JJ and I walked into the gym and the teams were sitting in two section of the bleachers which were still out from the game the previous night. The varsity coach simply said gentlemen these two are in charge until they say I can return and the two of them just walked out of the gym. JJ and I just stood there looking at the group of 22 players. One section was JV and seated in the other section was the varsity. I went over to the JV section and asked, if you have played varsity this year raise your hands. Almost half of them put a hand up. I looked at the varsity and asked Rob, who determines who dresses for varsity and he said coach. Do you guys practice together? That's correct, Mike. So basically this is one team, playing on two levels with some playing on both levels. I looked at the JV section and said move over here with the others. Someone said we don't want them over here with us they are grunts. That stopped the movement and I simply said now. Then I looked at Ryan, the Junior who had complained and I said Ryan, over there and I pointed to the now empty section. He hesitated and I quietly said now. Why do I need to do that? Well Ryan that section is for team members. You disqualified yourself as a team member. He shrugged and moved to the other section. I looked at the group and asked, anyone else? Another Junior stood up and joined Ryan. I looked at him and asked Rex, you sure about that? He didn't answer and sat down. Looking at the large group I simply asked, why? There was no reply and they were pretty much looking at each other. JJ then said the man asked you a question. Anyone have the balls to answer it? There was still no answer and Rob said JJ, why what? The JJ said, REAPONDE A Le PREGUNTE. (Answer the question) Mike, I have no idea why some of us mistreat and humiliate a team mate. Ok Rob as a team captain why don't you know? Well Mike, I thought we had ended that last year but this year the Seniors are out numbered. JJ, laughed and said, shit I know things are different here but where I came from team Captains ran the damn show. If teammates were disrespected that individual would have had the snot knocked out of him. So why wasn't something done when a teammate was left with nothing to wear except a wet towel. Rob said well JJ, we were all gone as underclassmen shower last. Oh, that was changed last night? JJ asked Rob, weren't you out voted? Rob laughed and said we were but it didn't matter. I looked at the 3 guys sitting in the other section and asked so why didn't it matter this time? One of them said there are other ways to deal with insignificant players, freshmen don't belong on varsity teams. I laughed and asked, were you at the game last night? He started to say something and I said well I was. What I saw was a freshman score the last 9 points of a game you clowns won by 6. Look Mike, we don't know why you are hear but this isn't football be are the defending state champs. I laughed and said no you are not. When last years team took the last bite of the giant Hershey Bar, it simply vanished nd ceased to exist. What you are is one of about 160 trying to qualify for the playoffs. So far you are the team with almost as many losses as wins. No teams defends a championship a program defends it and you don't have a program yet. You don't even know what a program is. Just then JJ said look, while we are on the topic of worthless freshmen, I see two individuals here who fit that bill. Then I saw Doc, Josh, Wyatt and Rod and just smiled. Then JJ said, it is my pleasure to introduce 2 of my teammates. First Rod, first team all district and all state kicker. He his with QB1 of the reigning state champions. He is also the first freshman selected as a member of the Fabulous 22 as decided by the local sports writers. He is also first team all district and and all state QB. You know what they have in common? THEY ARE FRESHMEN. I just stood there and let that sink in and I could tell it mattered. Ok, one last question, who was involved in leaving a teammate in the locker room naked. Three more hands went up and they were told to move with the others. I saw that there were no starters and no seniors but every other class was represented. It was obvious that Nick was taking playing time away from some of the underclassmen and they reacted poorly. Guys I am not Merlin. I have no magic wand that would creat a program or even a team for you and I doubt that I would use one if it existed. Both programs and teams require hard work, trust in each other and a commitment to a common goal. Only you can do that by working to get there and uniting. What I can and will do is stop the hazing and bullying. Last year we supported the team by theme nights and going in mass to your games. The hazing and bullying was done by a few and condoned or excused by many. It is totally unacceptable and you are about to find out what happens when you are ONED. At your away game Tuesday you get to play for mommy and daddy as we are not coming. Act like toddlers and we will simply stay away and when the media eventually asks we will reply, we don't have a basketball team that meets our standards. Treat fellow teammates how you want treated. It's that simple you need to meet our standards we won't stoop to yours. I looked at the segregated 6 and said well you guys need to prove to the others that you want back on the team and I don't care how that happens as it is up to your captains. I do feel that you each owe an apology to the people you abused. Enjoy practice and I turned to walk away someone asked about the party last night. I stopped and said, I only want to hear from one individual about that and he knows who that is. I'm sure Doc Johnson will weigh in, very soon, about that. I simply went to the coaches office and said they are all yours. JJ and I drove home and grabbed a bag and went to the gym for an intense workout. While recovering in the sauna JJ want to know how I was going to pull all that off? Well JJ who do you think pulled off the trip for two busses to Harrisburg? Mike, that had to be Josh. I smiled and said nope. Well then Doc Johnson? JJ, he had no choice. Ok MJ who? Well JJ the only one with that clout is QB1. JJ laughed and said MJ, he was almost shitting his pants about being involved in all this. JJ, trust me that Wyatt and Rod will run this school for the next three years and Josh will be a figure head. Wyatt is tougher and has a bigger set of balls that most people and yet he flies way below the radar. Ok, MJ how do you know all this? I laughed and said Doc Johnson and he is all in with that. JJ what Wyatt is concerned about is talking with the Juniors and I know Doc won't let that happen. JJ, Doc and I have had a very special relationship for a long time and we are both aware that time is short. With that we showered and JJ went home and I went to my place. I grabbed an iced tea and was thinking about what I just told JJ. I know he can deal with it but I'm not sure that he realizes that Doc feels the best way to deal with over a 1,000 kids is by having select leaders do it. Doc likes Josh but wants something longer term. He has used me since the end of 9th grade. The same timing works with Wyatt and Rod. Then I thought I should call Winnie. She answered with what time you picking me up? Babe, I'm having a family dinner tonight and I can't get out of it. Mick, Cole invite me as well. Ok, I'll call you back in 15 minutes and I hung up. I went to the house and as soon as I got inside I screamed, COLE WESLEY GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW! Cole appeared laughing and said, I see you found out I invited Winnie. Look dude, why the big fuss you are leaving to play golf not a damn war. Megan laughed and said Mike, dinner is at 5:30 and you dad ordered food, I'm not cooking. Then Cole said well MJ, Jessica will be here as well. I just left but my radar was going off like never before. Back at my place I called Winnie and said I'll get you just before 5 but do you have any idea what's going on? Mike, all I know it's dinned and I picked salmon and a salad. Mick, what you having? I didn't get a choice, I'll see you later. There wasn't much time before I had to get Winnie so just stretched out on my bed and tried to relax. At least I was done with the school thing as getting people to stay home would not be an issue and I was considering standing outside the gym Tuesday night and asking anyone from our school to simply go home. I would have to talk with Doc about that and see if they would not sell tickets. I considered changing clothes to a more upscale casual look and decided to do nothing. I liked that idea and decided to make that theme for the rest of the weekend. It was time to pick up Winnie and again as soon as I pulled up the door opened and she ran out. She tossed a bag in the back and jumped in and kissed me. I smiled and asked, are you spending the night? She said yes and JJ and Mia will be at your place around 9:00 and I am going to find a way to relax you. I laughed and said, whatever but more than likely I'm just getting drunk. Mick, I have other ideas and I'm never letting you relax that way. At the house everyone was in the game room with a drink except for Cole who didn't seem to be drinking anything. Dad asked what we wanted to drink and Winnie asked for white wine and I said that I would have what Cole was drinking. Cole laughed and said MJ, I'm not drinking anything. DD, like I said I'll have that and Megan just looked. I was going to do this at dinner but I think I should say thank you now. There is no announcement or big reveal, I just want to thank the most important people in my life for getting me to this point. Winnie, I asked you to come not for what you have done for me but for what you have done for MJ. He is better as you are around. Thank you all as this trip is important for my development. I need to see if I can deal with this alone, well with just Liam. That's why this event as I get to do it alone, thousands of miles away. Yes, I think I am ready. Megan looked at me and said Mike, will you help me refresh everybody's drinks? I smiled and said sure. In the kitchen I got a big hug and Megan asked if I was ok? I smiled and said well it's been a hell of a week with the hearing prep, the hearing and the bullying by the basketball team. I am fine but mentally stressed as it's a busy week at work. Well maybe Winnie will help after dinner? I laughed and said Megan, I hope so but an intense workout didn't help and neither did the time in the sauna. Megan laughed and said Mike, I can't believe I just suggested you have sex with your girl and now I'm about to suggest you have a drink, please don't tell Cole. I laughed and said well Megan, I'm not having a drink as I feel that if I have one I won't stop and I'm never going down the path of my mom and my fucked up brother. Mike, do you feel like that often? Megan, this is only the second time. Mike, when was the other time? Carrie's funeral. Ok, Mike why this time? Megan it's been all week and next week, I'm on call with the hearing, I have to convince my classmates to boycott Tuesday's game, I have to meet with Winnie's uncle and hopefully start the marina. Then I have a press conference and I have to tell the country that there are no architectural firms in the area who are capable of designing my next building and hold a nation wide contest. Then there is the meeting with ESPN about wrapping up their report on high school football and our team. Megan smiled and said Mike, you forgot the meeting with your head doctor. Megan, I'll think about that but with dad and the Major I have a lot of help. Mike, are you ok with Liam being away all week? Megan, I am as I promised both of them and to be honest Liam could make more money as a tour caddy than I could pay him. Thanks for the chat and we refilled the drinks and I added an iced tea for me. Back in the game room handed Winnie another wine and sat beside her and she immediately whispered in my ear, did that help? I smiled and said Winnie, Megan always helps. Well Mick, I'm going to help as soon as dinner is over and you have nothing to say about it. Winnie, I always have something to say about it. Dinner for the ladies was a seafood salad as takeout salmon wasn't recommended. The guys all had a rack of ribs and a mountain of fries we shared with the ladies. It was a fun time and my mood approved. Cole talked about the tournament and he told us the course was tough depending on the wind and that it was a par 70 and that 270 would win. His goal was a top 10 finish but he felt he had to make the cut. He was really looking forward to being the "Pro" in the pro-am. I laughed at that and issued a gentle reminder about that. The clean up after dinner was easy and we all went back to the game room. At 8:00 it was hugs all around as Cole was driving Jessica home and going to the airport. He promised to call every day and reminded us about the time difference. Once Cole was gone Winnie and I hung around for 15 minutes and went to my place. Winnie went right to the refrigerator and handed me an unopened bottle of beer and poured herself a glass of wine. She took a drink then set the glass down and took off her top and I just looked as she had no bra. I reached for a tit and my hand was pushed away. Once she was naked she picked up her clothes and grabbed her drink and said babe, follow me. In my room she drained her drink, closed the door and came over and kissed me while undoing my belt and the button my jeans. The jeans were pulled down and she grabbed the bottom of my sweater and pulled it over my head and somehow got my tee off at the same time. I was told to sit on the bed and lay back and the bottom of my jeans were grabbed and two hard tugs and I was there with only my boxer briefs. Those were quickly dispatched with and I was nude. Next as she played with my completely erect cock I was asked to put my head on the pillow and lock my hands under my head. Once I was in position she started kissing me again and worked her way to my neck and then my nips and I was sure I would shoot and then she moved to my pits and I closed my eyes and was in heaven. Then she licked her way down my happy trail and bypassed my leaking cock and kissed my balls and then lifted my legs and said Mick grab your ankles. When I did that she licked that special area between my balls and my hole and then I felt her tongue on my hole and I moaned as she went to town and while she licked she pushed a finger up inside my hole and then two and was finger fucking me. When she stopped I lowered my legs and she sat on my six pack and I thought we were going to fuck with no condom. I was at the point where I wouldn't object. She got up on her knees positioned my cock by her ass hole and lowered on my cock. Damn, she took it like things had been up there before. She leaned forward and we kissed and I slowly fucked her ass until I had no choice but to pop a load. As my cock slid out of her ass we kissed and she lean forward and asked Mick, can we please ask Mia and JJ to join us? I won't let JJ fuck me and you can't do Mia but other stuff will be fun. I got up on one elbow and asked Winnie, did you do all that so I would do what you want? You dumb shit I did all that as I'm in love with you and I was showing it every way I could. I will never use physical contact including sex to get you to do something. Understand something I'm not that bitch Carrie and don't ever compare me to her again. Then she leaned over and kissed me and asked are we done fighting. I smiled and said yes dear. We made out for a while and I looked at her and asked, why? Mick, just the 4 of us fucking and watching the other two have sex, some mutual kissing and physical contact short of sex and some oral? Winnie, would you expect JJ and I to suck each other? Mick, is that something you might enjoy? Winnie, I don't think so and to answer your question I'm saying no, as I don't want JJ and Mia in here or with us as we have sex. She smiled and said, clean up, grab a condom and make love to me. I smiled and said, yes dear. Thanks for all the notes and comments and for reading. If possible, please support nifty. Details are on the home page.
