As ugly as Wednesday was Thursday was that nice. Typical Western PA weather if you don't like the weather hang around and it changes. Hell, sometimes we have three seasons in the same day. There was the usual morning run and at school it was a normal day and Winnie and I flirted with each other all class. Once I could get out I checked on practice and it would be the typical walk through right after school. That was perfect as I would hurry home and change into Club approved clothes. At work I wanted to talk with the Major about tonight's dinner and Jack and the Admiral. I was excited about the Jet. I knew it wouldn't be the newest thing and that Jim would have it completely gone over. I had just settled in the office when Maggie appeared and she wanted to talk. She went directly to the club chairs and sat down. I asked if I should join her or should we just shout at each other. She shook her head and said, please have a seat over here, you need to see this.
When I sat down she handed me a letter and I started to read. It was from Riley, asking for the Company policy on a leave of absence. Mike, I think you are going to have to know those details at dinner tonight. Ok, Maggie what do I need to know? Mike a leave can be granted at yours or Kyle's discretion for up to 6 months. It can be extended for an additional 3 months. There is no pay but we pay benefits. Mike that is for executives and Riley fits that requirement. Ok Maggie what about Jack. Mike, you tell me? Well Maggie he is Director of Robotics. So Mike, that's a second tier Executive, is that correct? Maggie, what's the difference in the leave policy? Mike, it's 3 months and an additional 2 and Kyle can approve that. Then she said Mike, if you make an exception then you have changed the policy. I am simply informing you so you can make a smart decision. Maggie, can I have him work on a SPECIAL Robotics project at NASA? She shook her head and said well yes but again you are setting a precedent. One at least you might have to follow. I laughed and said Maggie, somehow I doubt that there will many people who will want loaned to NASA. Maggie got serious and said Michael, it's shit like this that will get you in trouble. Beside, do you want to keep these two as you must know they are a package. Maggie, one for sure and one I simply don't know. Well you have some information and a couple of hours to figure that out. With that I thanked her and said, have a nice rest of your day.
Liam and Tim appeared next and Liam asked what Maggie needed? I laughed and said well she was teaching me about the company policy on a leave of absence and how there were different policies for the top executives. Then he asked, is that what those two are after? Tim, that request for information came from Riley and her and Jack are in different categories as she is COO and he is a Director. So Tim what's up? Well Mike there is a counter offer on the property and it gives you the Commercial Zoning but they want a small part to remain Industrial and leased to them. I thought for a minute and said well Tim that's a yes and a no. Tim laughed and asked and the NO part? I said well the lease is a no. Tim looked at me and asked what you up to? Tim, I just want this over. Oh, the Industrial area need to be as far away for where we sit as possible. Tim, also they have till Noon on Monday and that's Final. Then I asked Liam to schedule a meeting with the architects for Monday afternoon and I would like to meet wit Heidikamp at his convenience. Liam said sure but let's be fair and tell us what's up? Guys, I don't know but nothing seems to fit and I have no idea why, so I need to know why before Monday at noon. Then I asked guys, is my dad in today? Liam asked well you walked right past his office and he was sitting there so yes he is. I said thanks and went looking for dad, leaving them sitting there.
I found dad right on the other side of the wall, in his office, and I just stood in the door until he noticed I was there. He finally looked up and smiled and said, son have a seat. The smile got bigger and he said nice hair cut and that beard is trimmed and actually looks good and you are dressed much better. I'm guessing there is a lot going on in that head of yours. Look Mike, all those physical changes indicate there is something messed up in your head and you are too young for a midlife crisis, any idea what's up? Well the haircut was my idea, Caleb said that the scruffy shit on my face needed fixed, there is a new girlfriend and she is so very different that she messes with my head, in a good way. Not like Carrie did. We won another district championship and all it did was check a box and it's looking like there are 2 more games and I'm not sure they mean anything to me. Riley and Jack are up to something and there was a counter offer on the land deal and I'm about to trash the architects designs for the new buildings. I have an appearance in Harrisburg about High School Athletics and I need to decide about next semester and school and graduation. Dad got up and we moved to a more comfortable seating area in his office. I looked around the office and asked dad, did Megan pick out this furniture? He smiled and said yup, I have no feel for this shit. Well dad she did a great job. Mike, I don't care what the office looks likes but it's a fucking fish bowl. I laughed and said well your not alone and you have a wall. Dad laughed and said son, it takes more than a wall to keep me from knowing what's going on with you.
Mike, I like the haircut but what brought that on? I have no fucking idea it just seemed appropriate at the time but I like this trimmed scruffy look and the floppy hair seemed a bit much. Dad laughed and said well this conservative junior executive look isn't you. Neither is all this hands off about the property, just take a stand and fucking end it and Tim will get over it. Mike, Tim is a great guy but he is making you much more conservative, please watch that as you are your best when you push the boundaries. End this land deal and move on. Well dad, I did that, I think, right before I came in here and there was a counter offer and I countered to that and it ends noon on Monday.
Mike, what's with the new girlfriend and it seems like there has been a string of them, are you trying to fuck your way through the entire Senior class? I laughed out loud and said dad, I get that but Winnie is different. Mike, how is she different? Dad she moved in for 8th grade and I asked her out and she said no. Later I found out she wasn't into jocks. Well this year we were assigned to be lab partners and we flirted so much that the teacher said either go on a date or he was changing lab partners. Apparently she found out in class that I was a good bit more than a dumb jock. Dad, I didn't know this but her dad's firm did that Forensic Audit I had done a while back. So they know everything. She has money and it isn't an issue and she actually seems to care about me and she doesn't need me 24/7. Dad smiled and asked, is she good in bed? Dad, her uncle is a big shit with Continental and they are looking into the old Homestead Works for a commercial thing and housing. Dad it seems like we have been together for a long time and there are no demands either way. Dad said Mike, I remember you saying some of those thing about someone else. Dad, thinking about it I never said Carrie cared about me. I should have realized that before it became totally fucked up. Mike, just go slow, well slower that usual. Dad, I'm trying and so is she, it just isn't happening.
Dad, I hope you are free for that meeting at the club tonight? Mike, I wasn't invited but won't miss this and it will be good to see the Admiral. By the way I guess he is delivering your first jet? I smiled and said yup and it's being inspected and I'm so excited. Dad laughed and said well, I'm glad and just so you know I'm worried sick about it and your need to go higher and faster. I smiled and said, well I have practice, I'll see you tonight. I quickly gathered my things and left for practice.
At school while changing into sweats and a jacket and a fucking helmet, JJ said thanks for needing dad tonight as Mom and the brat are going shopping so Mia and I have a place to ourselves. I laughed and said well don't put anything in the oven. Then I found Josh and told him no drama, let's just get to game day. He said ok Mike and I get it, but none of us want Weston back next year. I shrugged and said, be careful what you ask for. With that we continued to get dressed. It was actually great to have a normal Thursday practice and a Friday game as all the games on a different day was driving me nuts. Coach got us all together and said that it was a 7:00 game in Altoona and on real grass so bring the right cleats. We would be leaving no later that 3 and it was a 2 hour drive all on the turnpike. With that we were done and I flew home to change clothes for the club and the meeting.
I took a quick shower and found khakis and my blue blazer and a white shirt and a red tie and was quickly off to the club. There I was met by Mike, Club Manager, who showered me to the private meeting room which was set up for dinner and had a view of the course. Not that it mattered as it was getting dark already. Jake appeared and we chatted about his family and I ordered 4 different appetizers and a double iced tea which caused Jake to laugh out loud. My scotch was quickly brought and I don't think I was alone for 5 minutes when Tim and Liam appeared. The routine started as drinks were ordered and the last to arrive was Jack, Riley and the Admiral. Once they had drinks the appetizers arrived and it was general chat. Finally I asked if everyone would lease find a seat so that we could order dinner. I was determined to put this off until after dinner and once the dinners were ordered I asked Jake for another round for everyone but me saying one can only drink so much iced tea. I wanted everyone fed and watered before things got serious and I was starting with Riley. I asked Jack about his week in space and he said it was fantastic nd that he learned a lot nd next time he would have a lot more to do. I looked at the Admiral and asked so when is his next flight? Mike, we are not sure yet but it will be under a year as we have 5 launches scheduled in 1992. I just took that in and made no comment. The salads appeared and quickly after that dinner. Some deserts were ordered and mostly coffee and I had a cappuccino.
I looked at Riley and asked so Riley, what can we do for you? Mike, I would like you to hear from Jack and then we can discuss my needs. I shook my head, I was hoping she would step up, looked at Jack and asked, so Mr. Spaceman what do you need? Mike, first of all, the NASA Astronaut thing is an important personal goal and we all think I've earned it. Jack, that's great but what do you want from the company? Mike, I want the time to do another shuttle mission and then come back. Ok Jack how long and who runs Robotics? Jack actually laughed and said well you seem to have taken care of that already with Lee Chang or so I am told. Well Jack, you simply left and we were told exactly nothing. Jack let's start with what we're you doing in Robotics, I should have been around more but I'm hearing you were playing with "TOYS". Jack was furious and he said Mike, you forgot, I also approved payroll. Jack calm down and tell me what you were doing? Mike, I was watching over the 5 idiots with egos building something that will never be used and yet we met the specs. What I was doing was this and he got up and put a strange looking object on the table and it was about 18" square and had propellers on the corners. Jack, I assume this is a remote control flying thing. Mike back in 1915 the Brits invented a large flying unmanned aircraft and it was called a drone. This is a very tiny drone and a great toy. However give it more size and a real engine and it could be a very valuable weapon. Delivering rockets and bombs with no danger to our military. Hell you could be in one of your buildings and with the right satellites operate it in Asia. So while I'm in Houston you can be building a facility where we can develop these things and according to the Admiral I will need 9 or 10 months. Jack, I can't give you a leave for that time as it isn't policy. If I make an exception then it changes the policy. I looked at the Admiral how about I send Jack to NASA and we share his salary but you need to pay benefits as there isn't a policy available to me that covers an Astronaut. The admiral asked Mike, what will he be doing? Admiral, I would expect more work on the Drone and whatever you need him for. I looked at Jack and said you will need to be back a year from today. Jack smiled and said that will work but you and I need to talk in private. Well we will have time in a few weeks at the bachelor party.
Then I looked at Riley and said, well I guess you want a leave? She smiled sweetly and said yup. I took a big breath and said well we have a policy for that and I believe Maggie explained that to you. I was pissed as that sweet smile pissed me off as it was an attempt to get something more from me. Riley, I'll easily approve the 6 month leave. Mike then what? Well Riley you can see if that sweet smile gets you 3 more months. Mike, what about a pregnancy leave? Riley I believe you discussed that with Maggie but it is sick days and 6 weeks child rearing, oh that's for both of you. Mike, after 9 months they what? Riley you either come back or you are gone, I have no options and just so you know I'm done and would not use an option if I had one. I stood up and sending the message I was done and Jake appeared and before anyone could order a drink, I asked Jake to close the tab and put my number on the check and add his usual tip. Dad grabbed the Admiral and they went to the bar. I grabbed Tim and Liam and we sat down and I told Tim, now I really need that industrial space. He laughed and said, no shit and it was nice to see you in your old form. You gave those two most of what they wanted and they are very aware you are pissed and better not ask for more. Liam said Mike, I guessing that sweet smile Riley gave you pissed you off. Liam, she will pay for that before we are done. When we came in here I wanted to keep her and now I really don't give a fuck. We will simply fill her COO position and move on. Tim we are leaving at 3:00 for the game but call me if there is movement on the land. We shook hands and I joined dad and the Admiral in the lounge.
Dad and the Admiral were seated in the lounge and there were 3 guys standing there talking with dad. I went over and said hi guys, would you please move on and let the three of us finish our business conversation. Dad just looked and the three guys stormed off. I sat down and said Admiral, I'm sorry but I've wanted to do that since I was 14. The Admiral laughed and said hell , I wish you had shown up 5 minutes ago. I saw dad holding back a smile. He finally said well it looks like you made 5 new friends tonight. Dad, I only give a shit about one of those people and he has no other options. I stayed with dad and the Admiral for about n hour and then drove to my place.
Back at my place is chose clothes for school that also worked for along bus ride and cold weather clothes for the game, in case I needed it. I called JJ and it went to voicemail and I asked him to find batteries as I wasn't sharing my Walkman. I jumped into bed having prepped the coffee and set the alarm. Falling asleep was another issue and it was Winnie that kept me up and some of the things that dad had said. I didn't want to but I dragged Carrie out of her locked box in my head and but her right besides Winnie. It didn't take long and Carrie lost that comparison and was quickly locked back in her box before she got air. I finally fell asleep and woke with the alarm.
I had time as there was no run and I showered, dressed and sat at the table and had a relaxing cup of coffee. It was the usual drive to school and it was football, football and more football. With our early departure there was no pep rally. The only class that I'm enjoyed was Physics and that was because of Winnie and candidly all we did was chat and flirt. It was acceptable as nothing was being taught or learned and this was a big event and a lot of kids were going to make the trip and they wanted to get the trip underway.
At the field house there at our lockers a box lunch and there would be food at the stadium after the game. We packed our gear and loaded the buss and took our usual seats. We were off and it was the Parkway East to Monroeville and on the Turnpike and off at the Altoona Exit. About 15 minutes later we arrived at the stadium and it was indeed a 2 hour trip and we had a comfortable two hours till kick off. I was starting to worry about the game and the officials. It would be the first time that we had officials who were not from our district and often they have not seen teams with our speed and ability and often simply call a tighter game. Football at our level and in our district was fast and physical and not seen in many other districts except District 1 which was Philadelphia. Then I remembered we simply needed to adjust if the officials couldn't. I just hoped they stayed out of the way.
In the locker room I put on warm under garments and all the pads but shoulder pads and went and sat on the team bench. I wasn't there long and a security guy came up and asked who I was and who I was with. I said well I'm Mike Simmons and I'm in the team from District 7. I just do this before the game. Well son, good luck and enjoy the event. I said thanks and was joined by JJ. I said JJ, don't upset the officials, I'm not sure they have seen this level or play. JJ said I'll pass that along.
Inside we all dressed and Coach had the same message about the officials and said just accept what they do and don't talk back or make a comment. I was hoping we would have the ball first but coach wanted us to play defense first. It wouldn't matter as we were the home team for the gams based on the brackets. We went out for warmups and the place was packed and we stayed out a tad longer as there was no band or song. We simply stayed in the locker room and an official appeared and said we need the captains and we will issue a penalty if you cause the game to be late starting. We all got up and ran onto the field leaving the official in the locker room with the coach. The captains lined up on the side line at the 50 yard line and waited for the officials and coin toss. The officials finally showed up and we moved to the center of the field, we shook hands and the Referee said congratulate on being here, you have earned you way here and so have we. We will let you play and ask that you let us officiate. Then there was the sportsmanship message and State College called heads and it was heads and they deferred and we would receive. I was happy but knew coach wouldn't be.
They kicked off and the ball went to the 15 and JJ returned it 20 yards and he was tackled and I started to the field and noticed the officials were meeting and that there was a flag. Turned out they threw a flag for a late hit on the tackle and I simply shook my head and we ran a couple of running plays and were moving the ball then I carried the ball and a flag flew and we were called for holding and a 11 yard gain turned into a 10 yard loss. I was now first and 20 and we were on the 30 yard line. On the next play Wyatt rolled right and hit JJ on a slant for 10 yards. The next play Todd ran for 8 and it was now third down and 2 and we were on the 12 yard line. I grabbed Wyatt and said nothing stupid and he said fine asshole get me 2 yards. The play was off tackle and when I got the ball there was no hole so I veered to the left and took off towards the sideline and then cut back and walked into the end zone and we were up 6 - 0. There were two penalties on us on two different tries, each for 5 yards. The kick was eventually good and we were up 7 - 0.
We kicked off and Rod, simply kicked it into the end zone and they had the ball on the 20. Their first play was a sweet and I shut down two blockers and Josh simply cleaned up the runner and it was a 1 yard loss. Damn, they were not as fast as they looked on film. It turned out we were a bit bigger than them and every bit as fast. We scored 10 more points in the half and had them shut out. At halftime I told Wyatt if he threw that cross field pass I would personally break his arm as we don't need it and don't want their scouts to see it either live or on film. Wyatt agreed and Rod was told by the coaches to simply keep kicking it in the end zone. Coach said we need to win and yet show a little as we can.
We kicked off and they simply started to run the ball and with 35 yards in penalties had the ball first and goal on the 8 and hand used more than half the quarter and hadn't thrown a pass. We called a times out and talked about that and felt very strongly that they would throw on first down from the 8. Well it was a full out blitz and there was a 10 yard sack and a penalty for holding which we declined. Now with second down and goal on the 18 they had to pass. There was an over throw in the back of the end zone and now third and goal from the 18. They tried a screen pass and it went for 4 yards and they called a time out and we considered a number of options and feeling there was no way they could run it in we decided it had to be a pass and decided to do a full out blitz. Well it was a pass play and we had a teem meeting at the QB and we thought it was a loss of 7 yards. Then I noticed a flag and we were called for ruffing the passer and it was half the distance in penalty yards and a first down. Shit the QB was dumped hard but there wasn't an illegal hit in the mix. Now it was first down and goal on the 7 yard line. 5 plays later it was a TD and now we had a 10 point lead. Yup, another holding call on us helped a lot.
There was 3:28 left in the third quarter and even Wyatt was good with running the fucking ball. It was a long and boring drive that lasted 8:09. So now we were up 24 - 7. And there was about 7 minutes and change left in the game and we had a comfortable lead. It was a shame but it was only starters for the rest of the game and we held on and won 24 - 14. When time expired the place went nuts and we were in the state finals. First time for a football team from our school. It was a great feeling and the band was there, just not permitted on the field. We went over after the hand shake and sang the song and then ran a lap for the fans. I was immediately mobbed by the reporters as I apparently had a great game. The first question was, Mike the State College coach is pissed about the officials do you have something to say about that. I said yes I do. In every game the players and the officials have to adjust to each other. Some times that's easy and sometimes it takes a while. They were consistent tonight and the adjustment was easy. Mike have you heard that you will be playing? I said nope, no idea. Mike it is Central Bucks. Well we will have to see how that goes. I tried not to show it but I was thrilled it wasn't a school from the Catholic League. Then the reporter said Mike the number of D1 recruits playing in the game next week might be a record. Everyone is already looking forward to it. I laughed and said well so am I, but there are many more athletes on the team that the D1 guys and they matter, have a good evening and went into the locker room.
There I threw my equipment in my bag and took a quick shower and on the bus on each seat was a bag and there was a great ham and cheese sandwich with lettuce and tomato, there was a bag of chips and an apple along with a cold soft drink. It was a fun bus ride back to school and there was a mob which was amazing as it was almost 1:00 in the morning. Dad wasn't there but Winnie was and I got a big hug and she said Mike, if it's ok with you I'm spending the night at your place. I laughed and asked how in the fuck did you pull that off? She shrugged and said well I'm spending the night at Mia's place and she is spending the night at my place and if I have this figured out, JJ is spending the night at your place. I laughed and said, so I'm the only one staying where he belongs. Then I asked babe have you ever had sex with someone who is drunk? She smiled and said nope and I'm not about to so there is a limit and that's the only rule. Then I got a giant kiss and JJ said can't you two wait 15 more minutes.
It took more that 15 minutes to get through the mob and to get to the cars but we got to my place. Once we were there JJ and I both grabbed a beer and both girls opted for beer as well. It was actually hard to drink the beer as Winnie was all over me and from what I saw JJ had the same issue. As I finished the beer Winnie asked so Mike, we doing it here or the bedroom it's your choice but I'm starting now and she pulled off her sweater and I sat there wondering how far she like go when she took off her bra and was nude from the waist up and I pulled off my hoodie and tee and we were both half nude, Mia and JJ yelled, more take more off. I started to unbuckle my jeans and I looked at Winnie and she was standing there completely nude and she looked at JJ and said you only get to watch if you two are nude as well. In a flash there were 4 18 year old teens naked and looking at each other. I grabbed Winnie and kissed her and said I don't care what happens but you are not fucking JJ and I am not fucking Mia. She laughed and said that's cool and she went over and started making out with JJ and Mia was all over me and then it got really got wild as Mia started to suck me off and Winnie seeing that started sucking JJ. It stopped before either of us came and I was thinking that was it when Winnie and Mia started making out. JJ and I were just standing there watching and the girls stopped and they came over to JJ and I and pulled the two of us together and we were told that unless we kissed and made out for two minutes they were going home. We didn't need much encouragement but pretended we did.
Once the two minutes were over and JJ and I stopped I went over to Winnie and said ok, what's next? She laughed and said well this is enough for the night can we just go to your room? I said sure but I'm not sure I have enough condoms and I promise there will be a load in every hole you have as I've never been this horny. To be honest it was hard but we had sex 4 times and I don't think we had more than 2 hours of sleep. We'll managed to be dressed and decent by 11:00. We drove to school and the girls got in their car and somehow tried to make it look like they together last night. JJ and I went to Eat N Park for the breakfast buffet and almost ate the place out of food. I grabbed the paper and paid for it along with the bill and drove home. Neither JJ nor I had an explanation for what happened last night but agreed we would let the girls lead the way. We both was wondering how far they would want JJ and I to do and how comfortable would we all be with it.
