I woke Sunday morning to a totally beautiful day, dressed in shorts and a tee shirt and looked in amazement when Cole said it's about fucking time. I said well today is different as I need to run to the Club to get dad's car, he was smart enough to take a cab home. Cole said I don't care let's get going. It was a route that I had taken before and was just under 6 miles and fuck Cole was keeping up. We got to the club and found dads car and drove home. There was not a word exchanged all morning with Cole. Inside dad was drinking coffee and reading the paper and I said catch and tossed him his keys. He said Mike, I thought we would go in your car to do that. I said you thought wrong and grabbed a mug of coffee and went upstairs, grabbed my workout shit and drove to the gym.
The workout was intense and I enjoyed the sauna until that asshole from the PSU Alumni Association started on me. He said so why is the community big shot slumming it here? I said I wasn't slumming it until I saw you, can't you simply leave me alone? I got up to leave the sauna and he moved to block the door. I said, dude you have exactly have 5 seconds to move before I simply beat the shit out of you and when the police come, I'll simply say you grabbed my cock. I started to count and when I got to 4 he moved and I went to the shower. I changed my mind and got dressed and found the manager. I told him that I was tired of being harassed by that guy over there and would not be renewing my membership. I was asked to relax and was told he would deal with it. I said thanks and drove home.
At home I went straight to my room and started on school work. I was deep into an English thing I had to read and there was a knock on my door and it was dad and Cole. I said, hi guys have a seat and I got out of bed and sat in my desk chair. Dad and Cole sat in the leather side chairs and I just looked when Cole said, Mike what the fuck is your problem? You have been strange all day or are you pissed because we were drinking last night? I said, look I don't care when or how much you drink and at least you didn't puke in my room. I'm busy with school work and I have about 10 things to discuss with Brian. So what's your issue? Dad laughed and said Cole I told you. He thinks he didn't work yesterday and we disrupted him last night and this morning, so he worked out and needed punish every one around him because he thinks he took a day off. Cole said, shit he did more in 5 hours yesterday that most people do in a month. He helped raise 100k manipulated who controls that money and revised the fund he set up. Dad got up and left me and Cole sitting there looking at each other.
I got up closed and locked the door, pulled him to his feat kissed him an we started making out. I whispered in his ear and said let's get this over with, we both need it. Almost immediately the clothes were on the floor and we were naked in my bed with me sucking that huge cock and him doing mine didn't take long and we exploded in each other's mouth and we kissed swapping cum. As we laid in each other's arms, he said damn what brought that on? I said, I have no idea and it scares the shit out of me. Dude, in less than a week, you are special to me and I'm scared. Mike, I am more gay than you and we both want rug rats, so women are a necessity, let's just let it be be what it becomes. Isn't that what you always say? I leaned over and stuck my tongue as far down his throat as I could and we just laid there enjoying the moment. Finally he said, Mike I have school work as well, I'll see you for dinner. He got dressed leaving me naked on my bed. Once he was gone I covered my eyes with my pillow and thought, what's happening to me and why is he in control?
I got up, put a pair of baggy shorts on and picked up the English reading and went back to work. Then it was history and I was totally board as we were approaching WWI and I thought that was a stupid war fought for stupid reasons. Then it was math and I was just getting into it when Cole knocked and I laughed and said if your back for more close the door. He laughed and said, I need help with math and I hear you are good with that. I said, Cole after dinner, please and he said fine. Then he leaned in and whispered, you are not the only one scared about their feelings. He kissed my neck and I said please get out of here I really have work to do. I started back on math and thought shit I forgot to call a Rob and congratulate him on the win. They were one win away from a trip to the finals. Rob and I talked for a while and he was so excited. He had a great game without the usual slow start and they still had not been tested. The next game would be against the district champs from Erie at Indiana University of PA this time on Tuesday with a possible final on Saturday. I had just hung up when dad called saying it was dinner.
I went downstairs and found a pitcher of iced tea and 3 hoagies and fries, I looked at dad saying, damn you slaved over this meal. He laughed and said, what did you expect, I'm hung over. I shook my head and said no shit. Cole came in and dad said really guys was this planned and I had forgotten, I had baggy shorts on and no shirt. Cole was the same and I just poured tea and started eating. Dad asked about the golf yesterday and I told dad how Cole almost shit his pants on 18 over a 3' put to tie and Cole relaid my play on number 1 saying the sand shot from 6" of grass was unreal. It went on like that till we were done eating and dad said Mike, I need a minute.
We went into the office and he sat down and lit a cigarette. He asked about Carrie as he felt we were not in a good place. I said he was correct and she was mad about how I interacted with J & J Architects, as I told them to manage their business that I helped twice and was done. It was very complicated but that we were good. Then he asked about Cole and I said he was amazing and that in a short time we were very close and that golf helped a lot. He said so when he came home last night drunk, you were understanding. I said well till he puked but he broke up with that long time girlfriend. I am not his dad, so I big brothered him. Ok dad, so how is Megan? He said good and that Cole doesn't know it yet but him and I are going to DC next week. Yes, you will be here alone and same rules as the last time. I asked if he reviewed the Foundation documents and he said yes, but Carrie should not be a trustee. You and her are headed for a rough patch. Dad, how do you know that? Mike, she is spreading her wings and doesn't understand her place in all this and you will fight every time she get out of her lane. You have been very good about giving in to her but very soon it will be something you can't give in on. Ok dad, I get that but she stays on, we can always vote to remove her. I'll add that to the list of things to talk with Tim about.
Dad, where are you and Megan and I really don't want to hear it is a fucking work in progress. Mike, it hasn't changed as you would put it we are very tight. I said, thanks and I totally understand the Carrie thing but we are still in love. Mike, I see that every time you look at each other. Just be aware rough waters are ahead. Mike, one last question? I said sure, just ask because this is the real reason we are talking, everything to this point has been BS. Mike, how did you and Cole get so close so fast. Dad, I don't know but part of it is that we both need a brother and in Cole's case a male influence. So I step up, and I just want a brother and always have. Mike, you forgot to mention you are both physically attracted to each other. Dad is it that obvious? He smiled and said, only to me. Then he added, I don't care but I want grandkids and I said and I want kids. Cole and I will manage the question is will the women in our lives and there will be women, it is just that sex of different flavors is fun, I'm sure you remember that, good night. Oh, in fairness tell Cole he is going to DC next weekend.
Upstairs I went to Cole's room, knocked on the door and said, what math you need help with? He said calculus. I said shit where are you with that? He said I was good till about a week ago. I said ok let's have a look. He showed me the problem he was working on and I said you made a simple mistake early in the process and I said start from here. He said damn, how the fuck did I miss that? Cole that's pretty advanced shit, just finish while I watch. He was really quick. I asked did you really need help, or just want to spend time with me? Don't be a jerk, I was stuck and it's like that a lot. Cole, one mistake in the chain and it can't work. Mike, what math you taking? I said, I work with the Dean at CMU and right now it is differential equations. He said, holy shit. I said, Cole that stuff you are working on is very advanced for a sophomore, you good now? He said yup and thanks. Then I said when it goes bad, take a quick break and start over from the beginning. He smiled and said I get it.
Back in my room I started on a very lengthy email to Tim as I wanted not to bother him on another Sunday evening. Finishing that I called Jim. We talked for a while and he said the game was boring and he is wondering if there will ever be an interesting one? I said I'm sure that this semi would be interesting enough. I told him it was IUP and that we could figure out transportation tomorrow and I told him about Oakmont and that as soon as the weather broke, I might move in. He laughed and I'll see you tomorrow then added we need to get to VT. I said, wingman I know.
The next call was to JJ And I asked how Dee was and he said incredible. He asked about Carrie and I told him about the task and the resulting sex and he laughed and said, tu perro suertudo (you lucky dog). I said well the makeup sex after the fight was good. Things are still not the best. I told him about golf and he said I would missed the damn game if you had asked. I said fuiste mi segund opcion (you were my second choice) he laughed and said estupido (asshole). JJ this is fun but English please. Then he told me he had visits scheduled at WVU, PSU, Duke he then after a pause added VT. I yelled SHIT, I don't want to know about that one. He laughed and said well that one is this weekend and I know there might be a game. I'm shocked you didn't know. JJ, I haven't talked with them and I think they might be pissed over the police thing. Well if that's the case pass out a few million more and he laughed. I said you are a jerk, I'll see you tomorrow. I hung up thinking damn it could HS all over.
I took a deep breath and called Carrie, she answered and I said babe how was your day? She said well it was ok but I worked all day and yes it was on project 1. I said thanks, what was involved with my project. She said final selections on the lobby areas. I said Carrie didn't we do that? She said you did and now we have to make that happen. I said damn, I did t know. She said Mike there is a lot that goes on that you are unaware of. Carrie that's why I pay people, so that I don't have to worry about that shit. She said, so I get to deal with your shit? I said, CarrieI love you good night and I hung up.
Immediately my phone rang and I answered WHAT? There was silence on the other end and I looked at the number and said I'm sorry that was rude, this is Mike. The voice said I hope I didn't interrupt something this is Liam Connor from yesterday. Oh, Liam I thought you were my girlfriend we just had a fight and I assumed it was her. I'm glad to hear from you, what's up? He said Mike, just wanted to thank you for yesterday that extra 50 from your bet was a real bonus. Also, I don't know what you said to our Pro but there is an event he is hosting at the club for some pros and I was told that I was on a bag. Liam, he asked about you and all I said was that you were pleasant and very helpful and that you knew your job. He said well, it is appreciated. I asked when the event was and he said first weekend in April. I asked whose bag he was on and he said he didn't know but they were all Tour Professional's. Well that is big, I hope it goes well. Then he said thanks again and I hope to see you around the Club. I said good night and count on it.
I looked to add his number and saw I had a message and fuck it was Carrie, rather than listening to the message, I called her back. She answered and I said babe what's up? You are not mad? Nope, it looks like if I got mad every time you got out of your lane, we would have make up sex every day. She was quiet for a while and said, Mike do I need to quit my job? Carrie, that's your decision. Mike, why you being impossible? Carrie we were through this last night, I thought you understood? Well let me clarify, J & J is not my company, however I finance them, I don't control them. They are responsible for building my building and I pay them well for the opportunity. They need to manage their business or hire someone who can. That needs to work for you, you understand? Mike, is there a choice? I said NO. It is what it is. She was quiet again and I waited. The silence dragged on and finally, I said Carrie, good night, I do love you and hung up. I went into the bathroom and got ready for bed. Back in my room I plugged the phone in, stripped and climbed into bed. Sleep was not easy and it was a restless night.
Next morning the weather was back to mid March weather and Cole was up waiting and we went for the usual run. I dropped him off at school and pulled into our parking lot with about 5 minutes to spare. I saw Carrie and said hi babe and we went to class as usual. She kept looking at me and I was acting totally normal. The morning classes were normal and at lunch I sat with the guys as usual. I went to study hall and did it sign out and worked on Spanish. After school, walked to the car and found Carrie sitting on the hood of the car. I said, hi bade how was your day? She shook her head and said cut the nonsense. Babe, I'm confused what nonsense, I love you, do you still love me? She laughed and said so it comes to this? I said, Carrie, I love you but if you don't love me, I'm man enough to move on. She screamed, YOU CAN BE A FUCKING ASSHOLE, but I'm guessing you know that.
I opened the door to the car got in and yelled, GET YOUR ASS OFF MY CAR. I started the car and she didn't move. I turned the car off got out, locked the door and went to the stadium and sat in the bleachers. I sat there thinking there was no way I was giving in. All of a sudden her arms were around my neck and I stood up and I said you don't get to do it that way. In fact I'm not sure you get to do it at all. Carrie, I like Jorden and Jodie but there are at least a dozen architects that I could hire and I would not have this shit with you. The options are you accept things they way they are, you quit or I buy the fucking place and shut it down. Just let me know and figure it out soon, I love you but you are not controlling my business and the personal stuff is separate and different. Do you need a ride home? She smiled sweetly and said, Michael go fuck your self. I said, I guess that's a no to the ride and I walked to the car and drove home.
At home I hung a note on the patio door saying RULE 1, grabbed a beer and a cigarette and sat in my chair leaving the phone in the kitchen. I was there over an hour and was finally freezing, I went inside and found dad and Cole eating dinner. Hi said hi guys and grabbed a beer and asked if there was any dinner left. Cole said just sit and he put something in the microwave, as it turned out it was the pasta, cheese, chicken and spinach thing. I said thanks bro and started eating. Dad was quiet and Cole said, Mike I need to know the rules and their numbers. I said, Cole in due time and kept eating. I finished eating thanked them for the company and went to my room.
The door was closed which was unusual and when I opened it Carrie was sitting at my desk and I screamed GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY ROOM. She got up and I thought she was going to try to slap me but she smiled and said I would rather fuck you into submission. I turned around went downstairs got in the car and went for a ride. Well in reality I went a couple of blocks and parked and just sat there. I calmed down and went back home and straight to my room. Carrie was still there and I slammed the door and yelled FUCK ME INTO SUBMISSION WHAT THE FUCK. I said when will you get it, it's not sex, it's about you understanding business decisions are business decisions. Fuck, I have already decided that Enterprises will be designed by another firm. That's as much of a concession I'll make. I'm glad your working and enjoy it but that does not make the company you work for special.
I sat on the bed and just looked at her waiting for a reaction. She came over and sat beside me on the bed looked at me and said, ok Mike, I get it and yes I love you and I give in. Damn Carrie, you have me tired and frustrated. Understand, I will never give in on this. Other things we can work out, but not business. What you need to know, I play hard, I play fair and I win. It will always be legal, very legal. If it all falls apart there is enough money that neither of us would have to work a day in our lives. I kissed her and said, let's go. She looked shocked and asked, where we going? I said I assume you need a ride home and I'm not being fucked into submission and the limit on makeup sex is once every other week. She said, shit when will this be over? I smIled and said as soon as you prove you actually get it. Now am I driving you home or do you have other arrangements. She said will you please take me home? I said sure.
We were very quiet during the drive and I pulled into her driveway and walked her to the door. At the door, I hugged her and gave her a kiss and said Carrie, I really love you.
Back home I found dad and Cole in the kitchen and I poured a glass of iced tea joined them and Cole said well that was interesting. I said I bet it was but as for you two jerks it is Rule 6. Cole laughed and said, I'm not sure but I bet that rule means none of our business. I said correct, see you in the morning.
The next morning Cole was waiting in the game room and we went for our normal run. Back at the house he went to his room and I jumped into the shower. Cole came in jumped in with me and said, this is better than the basement and dude, you can shove rule 6 up your ass. If fact if there is room include the other 5. I said yes sir and saluted, dried off and went to my room got dressed and made coffee sitting in the kitchen and waiting on him and the coffee. He came down and asked, are you ok? I said yes. So how is Carrie? Cole, I don't care but l love her and will not lose this fight, no matter what. I filled the travel mug and he asked if there was another one of those, I said, sorry there isn't. We drove to school and as he got out of the car Jessie was waiting for him and I laughed out loud.
At school I went straight to class and Carrie came in and sat in the usual seat beside me and smiled. In the hall after class she asked if I was ok? I said babe, I am but more importantly how are you? She said, Michael I get it and gave me a big kiss and the entire hall yelled get a room. After my last academic class, I signed out for work and drove to the construction site. I met with the construction manager put my hard hat on and went for a walk. I talked with some of the workers and I knew some were thinking who is this kid and other's recognizing the Enterprises logo, knew exactly who I was. Getting the sense that the workforce was reasonably happy I went back to the trailer and called Tim. He said, I was waiting for the call, thanks for the quiet weekend and for blowing my Monday to hell. He said the final Foundation papers were ready and would be sent by messenger and I should have them for dinner reading. I said thanks and drove home.
At home I went straight to my room and called Jim we talked for a while and I asked if he thought we could have a boys night this weekend? He laughed and said with this much notice anything is possible. I said there is a possible trip to Hershey for a basketball game? He said he knew and he would drive to IUP and asked if Carrie and I were going and I said wingman, I'm going but that's all I know. He said shit, things bad even after that kiss in the hall? I laughed and said, I simply don't know. Dude, I asked, does your phone call out or doesn't it have that feature and we need to talk about VT. He said, I hope you mean the visit, I laughed and said yes. I said call me on occasion and hung up.
I don't think I had set the phone down when Cole knocked and came in closing the door. I laughed and said so this is a serious conversation? He said you bet you sweet ass it is, are you over the fucked up mood you have been since golf? Cole, I'm busy and I can't keep Carrie in her lane. The strange mood is your fucking fault. He laughed and said, why are we attracted to each other? Cole, you fucking challenge me mentally like very few people and you are damn sexy. So what's your issue? He said the way you are in control and that chiseled body, fuck you could have been the model for the statue of David. So Cole why did you close the door? Mike, so your dad didn't hear all this. I laughed and said, Cole he already suspects. Now please get out of here before I jump your bones, I have work to do. Just then dad yelled guys dinner is ready.
