At my place the first thing I did was call Cole and naturally Liam answered and said hold on a second he is right here. Cole got on and I asked so how did it go? He said it stormed and we were called off the course twice and I shot even and that was a great score today and I'm off late about 40 minutes before the leaders. The weather should be good tomorrow and I'm looking forward to seeing you. Are you bringing Mary Ann? I said yes and JJ and Terri. He said that would be great. MJ, it was so good to have dad here. Cole, did Wes show up? He laughed and said no my other dad. He seemed a little down and I asked if he was ok. He said that he was exhausted and it was a very long day. I told him to get some rest and that we would see him at the practice range. I asked him to please put Liam on and he said sure. I asked Liam if things were good and he said Mike, he is exhausted as there were delays and no warmup time and it was hard as everyone wanted to interview him. But he is good, just understand there isn't much left in the tank. Mike, for some reason tomorrow he is dressed like a Scottish Highlander, various shades of purple and white hat and shoes. I laughed knowing for some reason it was a shout-out to the high school. I thanked Liam and we hung up.
Now it was time call Mary Ann and figure out what the heck was up? When she answered I asked about her day and she said it was just relaxing. Wanting to get to the point I said babe, we need to talk. Mike, I know but not over the phone and we have all day tomorrow. I understand we are in different places in this relationship but damn we are good together. Babe we are and everything you said is correct. Mike, please let's talk about this when we are together. Mike, Terri and I will be at your place at 7:00 and that should get us at the course before 10:30. We can find a place for us to talk. Mary Ann you and Terri are playing a lot of games with JJ and me and that needs to stop. She said understood. Babe, I'm serious and she said Mike, I know you are and I understand. I took a deep breath and said so why? Mike, I promise no more games and we will talk tomorrow. Please be patient with me, just this once. I simply replied, I'll see you tomorrow and hung up.
I made coffee, setting the timer and my alarm for 6:00 and jumped into bed and as I was exhausted and sleep came easy. I woke with a start wondering what the noise was and then the alarm went off. It took me a few minutes but I realized there was someone at the door. Damn it was Mary Ann holding a bag that contained 2 "bear claws". She smiled and said, I assume you have coffee on? I said for sure and she smiled and said well, I wasn't driving 2-1/2 hours with you in a car in a bitchy mood because we haven't talked. I grabbed 2 cups of coffee and as soon as I placed them on the table she jumped in my arms and gave me a giant kiss. Then she put both hands on my cheeks and said, Michael James Simmons, I can't help it I'm in love with you. Mike, I tried not to let that happen but fuck you are everything I could want. I was shocked and then she said, I know you aren't to that point and I understand that, you were hurt by every woman in your life that mattered. You as a result keep people away from you, with the exception of JJ and I'm glad you are there for each other. I know you will always be there for each other, best friends are hard to find. I just looked at her and then asked, so what do you want or need from me? Mike, right now for you to give us a chance. Babe, what happens if it doesn't work out? Hell Mike, you might never fall in love with me or any other woman as you have been hurt badly. Mike, no matter what you need a woman in your life, one that you care about and only one. That's my only condition just me being your female sole mate. It never has to get to love. Well as close as your damaged psychic will permit.
I took a deep breath and asked, just who in the fuck are you? She smiled and said your equal and we want the same things. A close relationship, a couple of kids and freedom to have our own lives. Whatever that is, just so it doesn't embarrass either of us publicly. Mike, can we take it from here? I said well what about money? She smiled and asked have I ever asked about that? I had to admit she had not. Then she said, it's nice and I know you want a big house and you need to make a bunch of it, I have no idea why you just do. Mike, I'm going to school for Pharmacy so I'll have my own money and I'll work until I have your first kid. Mary Ann, we are both dancing around an issue so I'll ask, please be honest. Are you having sex with anyone besides me. She smiled and said, you already know that answer. She looked at me and asked, should I go home or am I still invited for the day. I laughed and said we are good, very good. I left her with coffee and a danish and her thoughts and ran to the shower wondering if this was for real? My guess was that JJ and Terri were having a similar conversation this morning as well. So as a betting man, I would bet those two are as tight as JJ and I and doing all the same stuff. While showering and thinking about our talk, I decided I wasn't buying all this and it would actually be what it became.
Once I was dressed and she saw my attire and asked, doesn't Oakmont sell shoes, it's the only thing you have on without that damn logo. I said sending a message to the PGA and anyone else associated with the US Open. Remember babe, I'm special. She started looking around in her bag and I asked if she lost something and she said just a large needle. I need to deflate your damn ego. Hell, I even laughed at that. JJ announced he was driving and I was glad as the back seats in the truck were comfortable, but his gas mileage was crap. It also gave Mary Ann and i a chance to talk quietly. The country music however almost drove me out of my mind, but JJ and Terri sang along at some point. At the course I checked at "will call" and sure enough there were 4 tickets for us. We walked around for a while and grabbed a bite to eat which was typical fare and more money than it was worth. There weren't many young people at the tournament but there were a lot of 20 somethings there. About an hour before the Cole's tee time we went to the practice area just as Cole and Liam were arriving. I laughed when Liam put the sign up "WORK AREA, FUN AND RESPECT" just then Cole saw us and I got a big hug and a quick chat and he started his wam up. I saw dad and we went over and watched the warmup and everything seemed fine as every so often Cole signed an autograph and chatted with a spectator. The warmup appeared normal and with 20 minutes before tee time Cole and Liam started for the putting green. Cole was relaxed and was having a good time with the spectators.
I knew the key to the day were the first 3 holes. The real key would be the short second hole which was a par 5. When Cole was introduced the place went well and he waved stuck a tee in the ground and hit it in the left rough. The result was an awful lie and a pitch to the fairway and a third shot center of the green and a bogie to start. Cole and Liam talked the entire walk from the green to the second tee and when I saw Cole was laughing I thought it might be ok then he stood quietly while his playing partner hit. I was surprised Liam handed him a driver, patted him on the back and pointed down the fairway, Cole found that funny then did his pre-shot and laced the drive way down the right side and he must have hit it well over 300 yards. His next shot was a 3 iron which hit the front right and took one bounce and stopped 15 feet from the pin. Liam handed him his putter and Cole walked straight down the middle of the fairway. There was a wait as his partner hit three shots and was still outside Cole and he two putted for a par. Then Cole and Liam looked at the putt briefly and Liam moved away as Cole looked it over a bit longer. Then there was the pre-putt routine and he sunk the putt and he let out a scream that was drowned out by the spectators. The rest of the front nine was calm and he finish the first 9, -2. On the back there were birdies on 12 and 16 and a bogie on 15 and he finished the day -3.
With that it was party and play and he finished in a tie for 6th place. There were interviews with Liam involved in all of them. Then there were autographs to be signed and he stayed and watched the awards ceremony. After that was over he went up to the winner shook his hand and congratulated him. I was determined to get him away from this and Mary Ann and I started over to him and we ran into David. David asked if I had a minute to talk? I smiled and said David, actually I don't as I want to get my brother out of here, please call me. Mary Ann and I went up to Cole and she gave him a big hug and I followed with another one. Cole, grab Liam and said let's get out of here.
On the way back home Mary Ann and I were once again in the back and I was thinking about Cole and the tournament. He was so good it was almost ridiculous. Then again this tournament exhausted him and I was hoping it was just because he was so young and there was so much pressure on him, true he took on that role but I thought he needed to have less stress. While he interacts with the "cadets" and there were a lot of them he was still very much in that fish tank with everyone watching him do "tricks". While I was proud of him in a small way I felt sorry for him, golf isn't a team sport and except for Liam he was out there alone. I was jarred back from those thoughts as Mary Ann put a hand on my thigh and asked, where were you? I said thinking about Cole. Then she said Mike, you have been strange all day, is it because of our talk this morning? I leaned over and kissed her and said no, well not exactly. Mostly it's like this during football and this is a big week. Are you coming to the scrimmage Friday? I was immediately hit on the back of my head and she said Mike, you can be a jerk sometimes. I'll be there and to all the games. Unless you dump me and we both laughed.
We spent the rest of trip talking about everything, our relationship, school, college. I finally asked why she was so different? She laughed and said, I have no idea and the only game I have ever played was when we first met at McDonalds. Then I found out you are very different than your public image. I laughed and said well that's kinda like pot calling the kettle black. She laughed and kissed me and that started a make out session, that ended when JJ yelled back, there is a motel at the next exit do you two need to stop? I laughed and said, not for that but I do need to piss. Terri yelled back, well that's more that I needed to know. While in the men's room I asked JJ, so how are things with Terri. He smiled and said dude, we are dating two bi chicks and things couldn't be more perfect, as they can't bitch about us. I laughed and said well remember it will be what it becomes. The rest of the ride home was fun and casual with lots of jokes and just a good time.
Once we were home it was a quick kiss with Mary Ann and she jumped into a car with Terri and I looked at JJ and he smiled and said dude, I need a beer and we should talk. Once inside JJ went right to the refrigerator and grabbed a couple of beers and joined me on the loveseat. I took a drink of the beer and leaned in and gave him a big kiss and said, thanks for driving. He smiled and asked so what do you think about the girls? Well JJ, if Mary Ann want to have sex with your girl, I'm good unless Terri has a cock. JJ almost fell out of the loveseat laughing. Just then the door opened and Cole walked straight to the refrigerator grappled a beer and said, damn I thought I could just watch you two go at each other and I find you fully dressed and laughing, go figure. I got up gave him a big hug and put him in the loveseat between JJ and me. I asked so Pro, how are you and he said tired and horny. JJ, using his Texas speak said, partner we can help with one of those, as for rest, well, that's on you.
We finished the beer and I grabbed Cole and started to kiss and make out and JJ started to play with his shorts and quickly enough had his cock exposed and he started to lick and kiss the head and Cole was moaning in delight. I tapped JJ on his head and we changed places and damn Cole was leaking a fountain of precum. I licked his cock, sucked his balls and swallowed enough precum to make a baby. While Cole and JJ were making out I moved up and was kissing Cole as well and I whispered in his ear, what else do you need? He sat straight up and said, I want both you cocks in my ass at the same time. JJ said, I have actually seen that once buy it was a chick who had two cocks in her ass. Cole, kissed JJ and said well what we waiting for? JJ said Cole, this might hurt and Cole said I have lots of lube. In my room JJ told me to lay on my back, with my head as far to the top as possible. Then he said Cole, lube up and sit on MJ's cock. Once he was in JJ said now lean forward and kiss MJ and think about anything but your ass. I felt JJ applying more lube and he knelt over my legs and I felt his cock on mine and then Cole tensed as JJ pushed. JJ stopped and said partner if you want this breath and relax. Cole took a deep breath and I grabbed the back of his head and pulled him into a kiss and I heard a grunt and damn JJ was in. As Cole adjusted to the load in his ass he started to move and damn he would sit up and then lay back down and kiss me and he repeated that until JJ screamed, fuck I'm going to shoot and that pushed me over the edge and we both unloaded in Cole's ass. I pulled Cole forward and kissed him again and he said please don't let your cock slip out, I need it hard again. Damn, he started to ride and I was getting hard again and JJ straddled my head and shoved his cock in my mouth. The combination of our loads and Cole's ass juice was too much and I was hard as a rock and ready to cum again. I yelled Cole, ride that fucking cock and gaged as JJ went balls deep in my mouth. JJ said no talking just work on my shaft or I'll shove it so far it will come out the other end. I tried to laugh at that and ended up gagging as he continued to fuck my face. All this took a while as it was our second load with no recovery time. My cock and throat were both sore and all of a sudden my mouth was filled with a load from JJ. Cole was riding faster and faster and I shot deep in his hole. We collapsed in a heap and Cole laid there stroking his cock. JJ smiled and said dude, I'll take care of that and he pushed Cole flat on his back and swallowed his cock all the way to its base and then concentrated on the head and was licking the piss hole and when Cole was close he held off edging him and he did that a couple more times until Cole grabbed the back or his head and held it still and started to fuck his mouth. After a couple of deep thrust he yelled fuck I needed that and shot a load which JJ held in his mouth and the three of us kissed and shared Cole's big load.
JJ looked at the time and said, damn it's 11:00 and I was going to have a beer and get a quick blow job and give one as well and here we fucked around for 2 hours. Cole laughed and said well, I'm not even waking up tomorrow, I'll see you guys Tuesday and shortly I was all alone and was right in bed and quickly asleep.
I was up with the alarm, never a good start and I had forgot to set the coffee. It was a very quick shower and off to practice with a stop for much needed coffee. It was another hot and humid morning and the practice started with the usual warmup session and then live plays. Jim started but again the passes were short and easy, there was a lob pass across the middle, a screen pass and mostly running plays. When it was Wyatt's turn the first play was a 10 yard down and out to the sideline that required a rope. He hit JJ in stride and it was like a bullet. While this was only practice I knew this kid was for real. Finally I was on defense and thought let's see how tough Wyatt is? On the next pass play I went all out and didn't tackle him but grabbed him around the waist. He smiled and pulled on his red jersey indicating he wasn't to be hit. I smiled back and said I didn't hit you, well yet. On what I knew would be a pass play, I saw Wyatt looking at me as he exited the huddle so I was ready. The ball was snapped and he took about 4 steps back and threw it hard right at my face. I grabbed the pass as it hit my face mask and ran Wyatt over and could have run forever, an easy pick 6. As I turned around a whistle blew and Coach called the two of us over and he looked at me and said you know better than to run him over. Then he looked at Wyatt and said that was a stupid stunt. Wyatt shrugged and said he is the only one who could have done that. Coach said it was still stupid and both you run 2 laps.
We headed to the track and Wyatt smiled and said dude, sorry about that but I've done that before and no one has caught the ball and it sends a message. I laughed and said well you have never played varsity before and things are different. Then I added Wyatt, that's usually an effective way to send a message, just not with me and don't look at your target when you break the huddle. We took our time and talked the entire time and he said that he had a number of friends, mostly freshmen and sophomores and you seniors are a tough group. I laughed and said we loosen up with a few wins. So Mike, we're you serious about playing golf at Oakmont when I throw my first TD pass? I said sure unless you want to play Latrobe and meet AP? He said, ok I'll throw 2 in my first game and we can do both. I laughed and said one event at a time. When we finished our laps practice was wrapping up and Coach asked me to hang back a minute. I was assured it wasn't football so I really agreed.
Once we were alone Coach said Mike, I just got a message from Nancy, it seems you step-brother is in my office and wants to talk about golf. Mike, do have any idea what he wants? Coach honestly I don't. He has been away since Wednesday and I only saw him briefly last night. Mike, I watched him on TV yesterday all dressed in school colors and playing very well under a lot of pressure. Coach, I drove up and watched him play but he drove back with dad. Coach, Cole and Liam, his caddy, deal with golf. My only involvement is that I pay Liam and that cost me about $7,500 this week. That's half or what he would have made if Cole could collect winnings. Coach, if I knew I would give you some information, I simply have no idea. There is no golf on his schedule and as his win qualified him for the Masters there is no reason to do the US Amateur. He has a deal with the PGA about how much he can play on the tour till he is 18. It's complicated as they don't want him on the Tour, just yet, but he sells a lot of tickets and has boosted their TV ratings. Oh, remember his mom is a Federal Judge so do whatever by the book. Coach said thanks and took a quick shower and drove to the office.
At the office, I stopped and chatted with Amy and then found Zaid in my office and he said Mike, there are a number of things you need to review but would you please call a David Cummings, he has call three times this morning. Ok Zaid but let's tend to business first. What do we need to deal with. I was handed a folder and it contained the new dress code. I read it and thought the details are good and it's appropriate. What wasn't appropriate was the tone. Zaid, please give to Major Jim and have him put it in a language that is more current. Zaid, produced another folder saying you mean like this? I read the second policy statement and said that's perfect, nice job. So do you want to show your revisions to Maggie or should we just send it out and let her react? He laughed and said well send it out with your signature and I'll simply watch the fireworks. There was the cost overrun on building 2 for paying the workers the two days we had no supplies. Then there was the revised construction schedule for building 1, just keeping me up to speed. That left a call to David before lunch with Tim. I gave Zaid the private number and said when he answered simply say, please hold for Mr. Simmons. Zaid started to laugh and dialed the number. Then I heard Zaid ask, is this Mr. David Cummings? There was a pause and Zaid said, well sir, Mr. Simmons is just finishing a call and will be with you directly. I didn't keep him waiting more than a few seconds. I said good morning David, how was the trip back from Firestone? He said fine and I thought we were going to talk? David, when you found me, I had to deal with Cole, he was exhausted needed to get out of there. Besides you called a half a dozen times and didn't ask for a call back or for that matter leave a message. What do you need? Well I'm taking you off as executor of my sons Trust. I took a deep breath and asked, aren't you a lawyer? He replied, what the fuck does that mean? I said simply that you can't as your dad created the Trust for Charlie and made me the executor. So unless he wants a change you have no standing and hell I haven't even had a pre-law class. David, you might consider spending less time running the firm and more time practicing law. He screamed, look you snot nosed punk, I'm not done with that. David good luck with that? Oh, I forgot, thanks for leaving Cole alone at the tournament. With that I simply hung up. Zaid, just took all that in and I said well I have lunch with Tim so I'll see you around 1:30. He said Mike, I forgot I promised Riley I would help her with the punch list. I replied, well that's great, I might stop by.
With all that completed I went to find Tim and he was ready to go and we went to the sports bar around the block. We were immediately seated and drink orders were taken and we started talking about football and Cole and the tournament. I told him about David and Tim laughed and said that I was correct and that poor Charlie was in for a tough time. I ordered burgers, fries and a side salad and Tim said, I'll have the same but leave off the fries. Then Tim asked how serious I was about Enterprises and the video game thing? I told him that I wasn't sure and that a lot depended on dad's investors. Then I told him I was just stockpiling ammo. He smiled and said Mike, I have the business plan started but I'm gearing up for a war between you and your dad. I looked at him and said, I'll never let business get between us, but it won't hurt if dad thinks I might. Michael, you are simply playing with fire. Well Tim think of it as me piling up wood. Changing the subject I told Tim I wanted Enterprises stripped clean, except for his law firm and the current arrangement. He smiled and said, thanks. Mike your real estate division makes money and I said well it collects rents and not much and Technologies simply deposits the money. The rest costs money and I have been waiting for 3 weeks for potential property buys and nothing. Without new properties the architectural division is useless. I want a clean ship by the end of the quarter. Tim, it's simple everything gone and rebuilt from scratch. He was sitting there looking at me and I said, Tim I want to give Maggie a raise and ask her to help with Enterprises. This time he shook his head and I laughed and I said eventually I want to move Zaid to the new Enterprises. Oh, I need more property and the target is the land I have boxed in next to building one. Please find out who actually owners that plot. Finally, I want street named Phoenix and I don't care if it is street, way, avenue or boulevard. In face ask Zaid for a suggestion. Tim laughed and said, I thought you said a few thing? Oh, I'm not done and I handed him the dress code memo. He looked at it and asked if he could hand it to my dad and I shrugged, not caring. We finished eating and back at the office, I called Maggie in HR and asked for a meeting tomorrow around 11:00.
There was nothing on my schedule so I drove to the site and was pleased to see that building 2 was humming along. At the main building I was happy to see the lobby was clean and the sone was cleaned and I thought wow, how sharp and distinct it was. When I opened the door to the first floor and ran into the greatest reception station I had ever seen. Black granite counter tops and a combination of aqua and and a black couple of glass panes that said MJS Technologies. There was a black Aeron Chair. The seating area was a couple of Aeron side chairs and a Noguchi table. The work areas were a sea of color and all the panels were 54" high, providing seating privacy. When I looked up the ceiling was painted black and all the wires were visible and then I saw what looked like paint cans also black and remembered that was sound masking. Basically white noise that blocked sound. Riley and Zaid were about 15 feet away and I couldn't hear the conversation. The class conference room had a large Eames conference table with a verse green marble top which was circled by more Aeron chairs. The entire place was ultra modern and very upscale. I just stood there and looked in amazement. I found Riley and Zaid and they both smiled and said it's fantastic. I asked Zaid about the Phoenix street name and he said Alley. I looked at him and said I hope that was another of your lane attempts at humor. He smiled and said how about Phoenix View Drive. I smiled and said thinking about that. I'll see you guys tomorrow. I drove home grabbed a sandwich and sat on the patio with an iced tea and relaxed before practice. I was sitting on the patio, I decided to have some fun and called JT and I left a message that if he was sober and free of his brother I was free after 10:00 tonight to hang out.
Thanks for the comments, I really enjoy reading them.
