Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2019 01:13:54 +0000 (UTC) From: Mike Simmons Subject: It was always about the bets 54 Shit I woke before the alarm and really wanted to sleep in without thinking I jumped out of bed and screamed, I had forgotten about the ankle. But after the initial shock it wasn't that bad. I went to the bathroom and took a very hot shower and looked at my ankle and it was only a little discolored and I'm thinking I should just go to school. Rethinking that I said shit a complete and total Mike day, I need that. I went downstairs and found dad and gave him a big hug and said dad let's not fight but let's find a way to manage William. Every time he enters the picture we fight and dad I totally get that it worries you. Please remember, I'm not him. Mike, I know that and I really appreciate all you do and have taken on. Ok, dad I think we should spend some of his money and find a way out of this for him or at least mitigate the outcome. Ok Mike say I do that, then what? He can't stay in California alone, so do we want him here? Fuck dad, I don't know and besides would he be different here. I actually have no respect for the dude but he is my brother and your son. What about we bring him home once this is resolved and put him in the apartment? Mike, I can't, I just told Ryan he could have it and the rent is very reasonable. I don't care about the money or the rent but I did not want it to be charity. I said damn that complicates my life? Dad said Mike in what way? Dad he has a thing for me and I don't want to go down that path, ever. Mike, I know that and trust me he will not hit on you, I can tell by the way he looks at you and I told him in no uncertain terms you were out of bounds. Thanks for that dad and I think he is a smart dude and I like him as a person. Besides he is a very good student and manages a tough life very well. However back to Bill, you need to go out there and see how you can help, whatever it takes. With that I made a giant breakfast and asked dad to call me off school. When breakfast was done I call Dr. Collins and left a message for him to call me about my ankle injury. Within 5 minutes he called back and I was told to follow the trainers instructions and to stay of of it today and to switch to heat tomorrow. Dad left for work and I found some ice and tied it to my ankle and fell asleep on the sofa. I woke with someone fiddling with my ice bag and saw Ryan, I smiled and said hi neighbor. He said thanks for helping but the rent is very high. I said what, how is that? Mike it certainly isn't the money it's that you are totally off limits. Ryan, we discussed that your first day but I had nothing to do with that, it was all dad. Look, I like you and you are smart, clever and sexy, but I'm not going down that path. Now if you graduate and don't work for us it could very easily be game on, in a casual way but not this way and under these circumstances. He replied, Mike I get it, relax. He fixed the ice bag and said he would have lunch at some point but he would be moving in most of the day and it was great that the place was furnished. I said Ryan, it is you place please be comfortable and live your life, not one that you feel you are expected to live. I remembered coach mentioned Penn State and that they really wanted to talk with me. I found my phone and called Coach Restic, he answered saying, hi Mike, how is the ankle? Coach, you guys continually amaze me, do you have a spy at practice? Then he said thanks for calling we have not heard from you and thought our alumni blew us out of the water. Coach, I'm good it is just the football and the team. Our school has never accomplished what we are in the midst of and I'm not dealing with any of you guys. It just football and school. I hope you can understand. Coach Restic said, Mike that very reasonable. Anything I can do please let me know. Then he said so Mike have you opened your recruiting or could you not resist Notre Dame, I laughed and said coach, I told 4 schools no including Southern Cal. Dad and I will see you in January, enjoy the holidays. As it turned out it was becoming a long boring day and I was doing a lot of thinking: There's Jim: My new best friend and sometime sex partner. He is a great dude and I think a very good fit for both of us. We don't push each other, well for the most part, I mean we push each other to make the other better and while competitive neither of us have to win, well most of the time. He is almost my equal athletically, but it helps that he is so in a different way. Think QB vs Linebacker. Academically we are similar but for me I am totally driven and he is less so. I do school work every night and he does on most nights and if he worked like I did, fuck it would be a contest. We both have smoking hot girlfriends and again a slight difference, I'm all in and he is very much in. However he is definitely not second team. There's Ray: It is good to have him back. He really needed the weekend we had and yes I let him have the upper hand all weekend and that would stop. I was way too hard on him and I felt bad about that but hopefully it helped him rethink things. I don't know how he was able to deal with being totally grounded for 3 weeks. Tammy, his new girl, is hot and seems to like him a lot. I think part of his actions during the weekend was that he was horny. At any rate it is good to have him back. Well He is family and the closest thing to a brother. I hope he is really back. There's Alex: Shit he was always an issue over the weekend. Well I see the difference in how a hot sexy gay guy is and how Jim, Ray and I are about sex. It is actually a relief that I am certain I am not gay and Alex helped me realize that. I think that while I like him a lot he will ultimately move into a different circle of friends. He doesn't really get us as we are detached and matter of fact and he is more emotional. I hope that's not true and I'll work to keep him around. There's Carrie: Fuck and double fuck I need that bitch around me. Well she isn't always a bitch but she manages to find and push every button I have. We are both all in and yet there is this independence that we both have. Also, she is every bit as smart as me and works every bit as hard. What is fun is that we both let the other one win and we both know that happened and we are both good with it. College will be tough as it will most likely be different schools and new friends and challenges. Honestly if we were juniors in college, we would be married, I love the shit out of her. Damn, it will be what it becomes but I'm determined to marry the bitch. Then there's me: I am definitely a work in progress and a very complicated, smart, serious and athletic dude with an image that is not me, but one that I love to project. I'm that dude that a dad would love to see their daughter date and then think why the fuck did I ever encourage that. I know that and I understand that and recently I'm softening or trying to soften that image. Things I know; I want to run dads company, I want to surround my self with equals or near equals, I want to work and play hard, I want to marry Carrie and have 3 kids. Things I don't know; if I want to play college football, where I want to go to school, weather m2m sex is necessary for me, how to deal with my brother and how to keep myself interested and happy long term. Things to change: cigarettes and the drinking. There's Dad: I love the fucking dude and we have a great relationship but lately our individual need to win is becoming an issue. True it manifest itself around Bill but he is not the root cause. He works way too hard and I was glad to have discovered he had a sex partner, just wondering who he or she is. Normally I would think a woman but he was so fucking defensive about it, it flew right to my radar. The Trust thing was amazing and yet stupid. He showers faith in me and give me the perfect opportunity to be a wealthy fuck up. That won't happen but shit it is a lot of faith to put on a dude my age. We have to discusses our need to win at all cost - I wonder if he knows or will bring it up, I doubt it. There is Ryan: He is smart, hard working and a good dude who has had a hard life. I'm glad he is moving into the apartment and dad is helping him. I would have done it except we are both attracted to each other sexually, I simply don't want to go there, ever. Actually, I hope he graduates gets a good job and when I graduate I can hire him as my CFO. However that will be what it becomes. There's the legal team: I hire Brian and he becomes dad's attorney. Dad selects Tim and he becomes my attorney. That's just fucked up on so many levels. Dad manipulated me on that one and there should be payback but I'll let it slide as it is working so well for both of us and the company. Brian is young bright and a force and he is a challenge for me that I will deal with down the road. Tim, is very young and very good in getting things done but I want him to lead not follow directions and perform tasks. There will be challenges in time and we will see how it goes. I need to develop both a personal and professional relationship with him. I figure Brian and I will have a massive fight down the road and Tim will have to pick up the pieces. Again it will be what it becomes. As I was dozing off yet again Ryan came in with a giant salad and bread so I gathered it was lunch time. I finished lunch and decided to move around some, I was totally bored. I removed the ice pack and stood up and was surprised how good my foot felt. I went into the powder room, pissed and looked in the mirror and saw a very scruffy dude who was in dire need of a shave and a haircut. I thought about that for a while and decided to go get a haircut. I changed laced my shoes tight and drove to the mall and went into a hair salon. As it was midday I was taken right away and the barber said so what we doing today? I said I just need my hair shorter and like to keep it messed up. He said I can do that but would you like to try something like this and he combed my hair and said look in the mirror and I just laughed and said god no. He tried two other things and I had the same reaction. He laughed and said ok messy it is, so you trying to grow a beard and I said been there and done that but I have not shaved in 2 days so I know I look like hell. He said Mike we can fix that as well if you want. I looked at him and asked, how the hell do you know my name? He said you are the local high school football star, lots of people know who you are. I said Damn, so what's your name and he said Coltan. I thought shit and said well as for messy I like to use my fingers and not a comb so leave enough to make that happen. Well Mike first a shave and we will see what you think about your hair after that. It was really odd to have a dude shave me but damn it was fun. Then back to the hair and more suggestions and me saying no and Coltan reluctantly settled for messy. When he was done and he had my hair combed I looked in the mirror and totally messed it up. Coltan said Mike I have to admit that's a really good look for you, have a good day. I left thinking it was Ryan's ex but what does it matter. I was amazed at how good my leg was. I went home and right to the sofa and another ice pack and this time I started learning about some interesting local people in the industrial revolution. I did that for a while and then started on the extra stuff the calculus teacher gave me. It took a few minutes and I was wondering what was so complicated. I breezed through 6 problems but actually had to use a calculator for the last one. As school was out I called Carrie and she said so where were you today and I replied resting my wounded leg and my sorry ass. She replied, Michael you are wimp. I laughed and said I also spent a lot of time thinking about that sexy bitch, I'm dating. She said I'm not a bitch but it is about time you started thinking about me again, I said yes dear and we both laughed. We talked for a while and finally I said Carrie I'll see you tomorrow in school. I was watching TV when Jim called and asked if he could stop over. I said please dude I'm bored out of my mind. He came about 15 minutes later. We chatted about the game and coaches reaction to me being absent. Jim thought the coach was different because of the playoffs and what it means to the school, the community and the program. Mike we were in third grade when the program was last in the playoffs. Jim, thanks for the history lesson but I knew all that, so when was the last time we won a playoff game? Jim said, Mike I have no idea. Well we need to find that out. But most importantly we need to win Friday and worry about the noise after the season. Well I'm glad you stayed home and off you ankle today, but coach was concerned you would be running around. By the way Mike will you need a smaller helmet this week? I see you got a haircut. Then he laughed saying I hope you didn't run to the mall. I laughed as well saying Jim you are an asshole. I got up and went to take a piss and grabbed an iced tea and sat back down and said so asshole did I limp? I got punched in the arm and Jim said you fucker you just milked it to stay home today. What did you do my workaholic friend Mike? With that he got up messed my hair and headed out. Dad came in and I asked if he was working late or on a date? He smiled and said Mike you figure that out. So how's the ankle? I said much better. Dad, get a drink and sit down for a few minutes. He came back with a beer and said ok Mike, what's up? I said a couple of things and he rolled his eyes and said let's have it. Ok, I had a chat with Ryan and after we had wild uninhibited sex agreed to get married. Dad laughed and said so you talked and have come to an agreement to make life easier for both of you, is that correct? Yes dad. Ok Mike what's next? My brother, what's going on? Well we hired him a good lawyer and he is working on a plea deal. Dad that's great, then what? Mike I have no idea. Fuck dad that next step worries me, he is my brother but he hits on every nerve I have and always have. Mike, the attorneys feel they can get him probation with rehab and I'll bring him here for that. Here as in a local rehab place, I asked? Yes, that the plan. Ok dad then what, you release some of his money, he gets an apartment and goes to Pitt to finish his degree and it will be what it becomes. Dad, thanks for getting this all done and not involving me. In fact how about Tim and I release Bill's Trust money to you? Sure Mike if it makes your life easier. BTW, it was about time you got a haircut and he laughed. With that it was off to bed.
