I was pissed as I walked away and while that was an unusual display of temper and at this point I didn't care. First there was the damn bridge, not my problem. Then JJ for no reason at all had to bring up Erin. JJ caught up with me and he wasn't happy about the Jimmy comment. I just smiled when JJ said, don't ever fucking call me Jimmy again. I shrugged and said ok. JJ stopped and grabbed my arm. We were face to face and he calmly asked, what the fuck is going on with you? You mean besides the the invite for Cole, the fucking bridge and the nut at VT. Well JJ there is the two discussions with our dads about our sex lives, the nonsense in general with my dad and Megan's involvement in this shit. Fuck I'm not even discussing Adam and the ownership changes at Technologies and then there is the fucking envelope Megan handed me. You know what's missing? JJ shook his head indicating that he had no idea. Well Cole is playing very well and he is an after thought. This was to be a relaxing time with the only drama was to be how he played. JJ, Cole is the only one holding up his end and everyone else is piling shit on my plate. JJ, I can't keep this up and with that I just started to walk. There wasn't a word exchanged and there was no destination. After about 15 JJ said MJ, I really need to get to the cabin, I have to piss so bad my teeth are floating. I shrugged and we headed to the cabin.
I went straight to the room and stripped to my boxer briefs and laid on the bed with my hands folded behind my head, simply staring at the ceiling. JJ, opened the door and sat on the bed and asked MJ, are we fighting? I smiled and said well not that I'm aware of I'm just overly stressed and need to figure a bunch of shit out and that has me in a bad mood. I'm sorry about the Jimmy comment. JJ smiled and said, yeah I hate being called that but it's a long story we can share another time. I smiled and got up and went to the luggage where I had thrown the envelop that Megan had given me. It was a large manila envelop and was thicker than I remembered. I sat on the bed and JJ, started to get up and I grabbed him and said, please stay. I unclipped the metal tag and removed the tape and reached inside. There were 3 envelopes inside and when I looked one was marked Trust for Cole Wayne Simmons, another was marked with my name and the last was simply had JJ on it. I just shook my head and handed it to JJ and just stared. JJ looked at me and I said dude, please just open the fucking envelope and when you are ready please share what you are comfortable sharing. I got up and went into the common room and sat in a club chair and opened the envelope addressed to me.
The first thing I did was to see who wrote the thing and I smiled when I saw that it was from Megan. All of a sudden I heard JJ yell, what the fuck. I immediately got up and went into the other bedroom, the one we haven't used as yet. I closed and locked the door and sat on the bed, as there was no chair in the room and started to read.
Mike, I'm sorry about the confusion, the hurt feelings and your dad's poor timing with all this. We tend to look at you as someone who is almost 30 and who is in total control of things and forget that you are 18 and are in the midst of many changed in your life with college and football at a level few can play. I should understand all that but like everyone else I simply forget and I need to apologize for all that as well. All I can say is that I'll work on that and hope we can improve our relationship.
Mike, you might not know but your dad and I actually dated in college. That relationship ended when I went to law school and he immediately started developing the company. He and his drinking buddy, Adam. Adam, was always around and I never thought he was good for your dad but it was what it was and when I moved on to Georgetown Law, I didn't care. We both found other partners and life moved on. We moved to Pittsburgh and Wes was making good money as was I, with a Pittsburgh law firm. We had Cole and Mike had Bill and then you. I'm not going into details but apparently neither of us chose wisely. You know the rest of that story.
Mike, I'm aware of most of the details about your dad turning the company over to you. I would guess that by now you realize that it got too big for him to deal with and he didn't want to sell it but he was out of his league with the day to day stuff. He never expected what happened. You firing Adam and then Brian and you and Tim and Dr. Williams doing what you did. Two new buildings and now two more and the restaurant and marina. Mike, I often laugh at how you manage the political aspects of all this. At first they underestimated you, now they simply respect you. I am pretty connected politically, had to be to get my current job, and people on the national level know who you are. Mike, there is a lot more we can talk about but that should be done in person and I'm here for you whenever you want.
Mike let me to get the current issue, your dad and a buddy from South Hills CC are starting a "Transportation Company". They are planning to get coal and other products from one part of the country to another. I insisted on two things; Adam must be gone within 60 days and that he disinvest his interest in the company. Cole, as you know, gets 20% in a Trust, I set up. You have a copy of that Trust. JJ is getting 20% and I hope that doesn't interfere with your relationship. Mike, JJ is no Adam and I know that. I am taking care of Ashley and she will have everything she needs and the large cabin in New York. Eventually you and Ashley will get the remaining parts of his estate. The remaining 9% is split with you getting 4% and I'm holding the final 5%. At this point, I'm sure you have a ton of questions and I'm ready to talk when you are.
Finally, I want to thank you for all you did for Cole. Helping him get settled in the new school. Providing numerous opportunities for golf, yet not making it easy for him and him earning his way. He wouldn't be sitting in a house in Augusta playing the final round of the Masters and doing very well without your help. I could go on and on but just so you know, it means more to me than I can ever say.
Megan
With that, I got up unlocked the door and found JJ drinking a beer. He smiled and asked, dude did that help? I smiled and said for now and I understand you got a gift. MJ, I guess but what the hell does it mean and what do I have to do? JJ, it's a bit new to me as dad had those shares and in theory he worked and did shit and was paid a salary. This new structure while it doesn't change anything as I have the final say in whatever I want. Kyle, Dillon and Jordan run the day to day and I try to stay out of the way and pay them well. JJ, I build buildings, put out fires, deal with the politics and manage the pig picture. I'll talk to Jordan and Kyle and see what will happen. Your shares are worth around 13 million should we sell and a lot more if we go public. Dude, I'm not saying any of that will happen but there should be a dividend paid yearly. JJ shrugged and said well it will be something eventually. I smiled and said JJ, pick a bedroom, I need to actually sleep tonight. He smiled and said, that works for me. JJ picked the room I just left, the one with clean sheets.
I took a quick shower and jumped into bed. It was strange at first being alone for the first time in days. That feeling didn't last long as my head was filled with all kind of shit. I slowly drove it all from my head and I thought about Cole and was determined to watch him play on Sunday at the Masters. I finally fell asleep and it was a deep sleep that I really, really needed. I was blasted awake again by another morning storm. Looking outside it was a hard storm accompanied by a lot of thunder and lightning. I was already stressing out as there was no way I wanted a Monday finish and Cole was only 3 shots back. I threw some clothes on and found JJ sitting on the loveseat drinking juice. I had no idea where that came from and didn't care as he had a bot of coffee waiting for me. I poured a cup and sat in the club chair.
JJ smiled and asked so MJ, are you calmed down? JJ, I'm good and I'm rid of dad and Adam and I'll work things out once I get back but there will be no school until after the break. Also, I'm changing the plans and we are going to Key West. We can land at the international airport and I'll book us into a fucking resort and I'll pay for the trip and the jet. We are not and never will be a poor couple. It's just a longer flight and more fun. I even have a hotel picked out, The Beachside resort. I'll book 3 nights and we can fly home late Saturday and be home for Easter. JJ laughed and asked so how many shares will I have to give up to pay my share? I just shook my head and got up and refreshed my coffee. As I sat back down my phone rang and it was Cole. He said that there was already an hour delay but that the storms will clear but that it will rain off and on all day. The tournament people figure that we will finish today. That instantly changed my mood. Then Cole said MJ, my mom asked how you are. Cole, don't get in the middle of this. Just tell he I graduated junior high and while ago and I'm sure she did it before me so stop acting like an 8th grader and tell he to ask me herself. Cole laughed so hard I just said dude, thanks for the update and hit them where you want them to go. Oh, have fun. Cole replied, ALWAYS DUDE and hung up. I told JJ about the weather and he smiled and said yup, dad said the same thing about the weather. We spent the next hour or so chatting about the revised trip to Florida. JJ was more than a little concerned about the cost and I told him not to worry about it and when he signed his pro contract he could pay me back. Then I shocked him and said or when I take the company public and you have millions in the bank. JJ smiled and said dude, you are scaring me. JJ, I'll keep the company until Kyle and Dillon get tired running it and they are protected. I'm starting to think I'm not interested in spending my life putting up buildings and starting new companies or finding more ways to make money. I don't know what that is yet but I'm sure it will be what it becomes.
I then called the restaurant at the lodge and made reservations for lunch. With that I refreshed my coffee and headed into the bedroom. I stripped and went into the shower and waited for the water to get warm. I got in and soaped up and JJ opened the door and stepped in. We started to make out and JJ whispered MJ, it's been a while since I felt you inside me and he took two steps forward, leaned forward and put both hands on the wall. Then he turned his head, smiled and asked MJ, you do remember how to do this. Naturally, I was ready from the make out session and I rubbed my cock along his crack and when it reached his hole I slid my cock in and started to work his ass with strong stroked until my balls slapped against his ass and I kept it up until I couldn't hold off any longer and I pushed hated and held my cock deep in JJ sexy ass until I emptied my load. That was all either of us wanted or needed so we dried off found some clothes appropriate for the weather and headed to the lodge for lunch.
JJ was back to normal with his eating and it was a chicken salad and fries and an iced tea. The waiter suggested that he switch that to an AP as one had been ordered for both of us, I ordered a steak salad and said that an AP was more than fine. When the drinks came it was a spiked AP and I looked around to see who it might be and I realized it was Megan. I gave her a thumbs up and she laughed. JJ and I finished our lunch and headed to the practice range, hoping to get close enough to Cole to say hello.
We got to the practice area and Cole wasn't there yet but there was a spot reserved for him and that area was very congested. JJ and I figured out where Cole and Liam would enter the area. We hung out there and in about 15minutes they appeared. Cole saw us and lifted the ropes and said follow me. That got us inside the ropes and Cole had a conversation with security and I don't know what was said but no one asked us to leave. Cole was dressed in his typical +4's in VT colors of maroon and orange. The VT logo and a Callaway logo were the only markings. I looked at his shoes and they were VT maroon and orange laces. What was strange was that they were not the usual Nike shoes but Adidas. I wondered about that but didn't want to ask any questions. Cole stretched for a few minutes and then started to hit half swing wedges. With that done he went into full entertainment mode and while he was getting some work done it was done in a way to please the fans. After 30 minutes or so Liam went to the bag and pulled out a sign and set it up behind his bag. It simply said PRO AT WORK. That was all it took and the fans backed off and Cole and Liam were all business. Then 40 minutes before his tee time Cole left for the practice green. There he was all business and I could tell he was working something out and again I didn't ask. We shook hands and he pulled me into a hug then him and Jj shook hands and he headed to the tee. JJ and I simply headed to a spot where I thought Cole's ball would land and JJ wanted to go closer to the green but based on the club selection last in the practice I thought Cole was hitting an iron off the first tee. That's what happened and his ball landed about where we was waiting. It was the start of 9 straight pars. JJ asked, so why all pars? JJ, he isn't putting well at all and this is an actual good round. He moved up the leader board and was now third but Couples was playing extremely well, living up to is #1World Ranking. Then I said JJ, the Masters starts on the back 9 on Sunday. Let's see what happens. Cole parred 10 and 11 and on the iconic par 3 12th Cole and Liam had a discussion as the pin Was located far right on the green. No margin for error a missed shot right was wet or almost impossible to get up and down. Cole did his usual thing and he was hitting a 9 iron and damn he needed to hit it. The shot was very high and started at the right edge of the green and moved a bit to the left. It hit right beside the pin took a bounce and spun back passing the hole and stopping about 3 feet away. Cole was handed a putter and he headed to the green and Liam was way behind him and I knew Cole was having a meeting with himself. He made the putt was now 9 under but 4 shots back. There was an eagle on the par 5 but he never got closer as Couples won with a score of -13. Cole ended up finishing 3rd with another nice pay check.
JJ and I didn't hang around for the ceremony or any interviews. We changed clothes and JJ went to meet his rents. I was looking forward to a quiet evening when Megan called and said that they were meeting Cole and Jessica for a snack and drinks. Then she said Mike, please join us, it's in the lounge and casual. I shrugged and said sure. I changed quickly, wanting to be the first one there. Once there I said I was early and with the Simmons party. I was quickly shown a rectangular table and there was a high chair. I knew dad would always sit at what he perceived to be the head so on his left I moved the high chair and I sat next to that. Megan arrived holding Ashley followed by dad who immediately sat at the head of the table. Megan smiled and put Ashley in the high chair and sat on the other side of dad. I figured she liked Ashley being my dads problem. Cole and Jessica arrived holding hands and Cole held the chair for until she sat town. I shot him a look and smiled. Cole sat down and quietly said Michael James, I was being polite and she isn't. Jessica then added, well not that we know of. I laughed and Megan shook her head, desperately wanting the subject changed. The waiter came and dad ordered drinks, wine for the ladies and 3 Glenlivet on the rocks. I looked at the waiter and said make that 2 and I'll have unsweetened iced tea. Dad, looked at me and I quietly said, I have responsibilities tomorrow and flying jet and scotch don't mix well. Mike, we really need to talk. Dad, I'm leaving for vacation on Wednesday so call my secretary and tell her I said to fit you in for an hour. Dad looked and said Mike, you don't have a Secretary. Yeah, how about that, good luck with getting that meeting. Megan said, look you two this is neither the time or the place for this. Figure it out or I'll have you asses dragged into court. I'm done with this nonsense. Then she turned to Cole and asked if he enjoyed the experience? Mom, it was everything I dreamed about but I want one of those green jackets. We all laughed and the drinks were served and appetizers were ordered. It was a good night as dad and ignored each other for the most part.
Cole and Jessica agreed to wheels up at 9:00 and I called Doc and told him and on the way to the cabin I ordered a shuttle. Then I sent an email to Kyle and Dillon asking for a 3:30 meeting in my office on Monday afternoon, adding that it was important. JJ came in and he as I expected had made earlier arrangements for us to get to the airport and we would be with his dad as they were heading back early as well.
