Cast of characters - it was always about the bets

It was off to the airport and when I got there the plane was in the service live and the tanker was just leaving. The first check was the fuel level and it was topped off. I continued with the walk around and Major Jim was apparently watching. When I finished, I asked if he was ready and he said absolutely and jumped in the right seat. Once I was strapped in and we were cleared to taxied and then takeoff. Once clear of any traffic, I climbed to 3,000 feet and turned North. Jim laughed and asked, so where we going? I said Brokenstraw airfield just outside of Pittsfield, PA which is a few miles east of Erie. He laughed and asked, so what we doing there? I said a coupe of things that I hope I never have to do again? He shook his head and asked, altitude, compass reading and fuel level? I said 3,100 feet, due north and I don't know but it was full when we left 15 minutes ago. You didn't ask but 2165. Ok hot shot why so fast? Well I want to do the landings in daylight. Jim I'm hoping to do 3 on the grass and this field.... he said I know, has no tower. Tell me about the approach and please pay attention to the traffic. Jim there are 2 planes both on our left about 300 and 500 feet away and flying in the opposite direction. Ok about 10 miles out we identify ourself and inform we are doing a fly over and will be joining the landing pattern with the goal of landing. How do you do that and I said CTAF. What does that mean? I shook my head and said, Common Traffic Advisory Frequency which is 122.9. He asked, so how much do you study? I said not that much, it's that memory, it just sticks in my head, well if I'm interested.

I changed the subject and asked how JJ was? He said you tell me you see more of him than I do. I asked about the girlfriend and he said very serious and one of them will get very hurt. So Jim, it won't last? Mike, till you guys go college. He asked about the landing and I said well different, main wheels first, keep the nose up and slow speed. Once on the ground minimum breaks and let it run out. Taxing is slow and form on the yolk. Well you have it all in your head, I guess we need to see if that translated into reality. Jim, once I get this license I want to get more hours and then switch to a twin engine craft. Therefore no grass fields and ATC's.

At this point we were chatting about the NASA trip. He said Mike, they are very buttoned down and to make it worse they are engineers. So Jim, what do they want with me? He laughed and said to see where their money is going and so far they are very pleased. Keep in mind they have a feeling that someone pulled things together very quickly and that person was not your dad. Look Mike, do the building talk, you know past and future and the lead, follow or get out of the way, bullshit. You know the torch is past thing and if you can quote Kennedy? I asked does this work? To paraphrase JFK, We can't forget that we are the heirs of our past but let the word go forth from this time and place, that the torch has been passed to a new generation--born in this century, proud of our heritage--yet unwilling to witness our current state of stagnation, rather seeing the possibilities and making them real. Jim, I've been working on that for the grand opening. He said, damn and was quiet and I turned the radio to 122.9 and identified myself and expressed what we wanted.

Jim just sat there and watched. As we started final approach he said hands free if is say so and don't hesitate. I said yes sir. The landing was solid but needed work as the speed was too fast. We took off again and did the landing two more times. After the third landing we went to the cabin, the owner lived in. We had coffee and I paid the landing fees and were back at the plane. It was getting dark and Jim said simply fly East and at some point we will turn west and see if you can land in concrete. Jim how would you and Kathy like to join me, Jack, Dillon and JJ and our dates at the cabin over the 4th? Dad's cabin sleeps 10. Damn Mike, did you just say JJ and Dee? Well the girls will be in their own room, we both promise? Mike, Kathy will blow a gasket. What about you? Mike, seriously I know they are having sex, I was 17 once. Jim, if this doesn't work for you guys, JJ and I will leave the girls home. I totally understand and there is the possibility they won't be able to come at any rate. Mike, I will have to let you know and it will not be long. We were damn near Philadelphia when he said ok, let's head home. It was a clear night and the stars were outstanding. I simply followed the turnpike most of the way, eventually pealed off and Jim said, don't get me lost. When we got close enough I checked ATIS and contacted the tower. It was a clam wind and no traffic and were easily cleared to land.

When I got to the car I checked my phone and there were a few voicemails and as it was 12:20 it was too late to call anyone back. The 20 minute drive was uneventful and I found dad in his office, reading. He asked if I was packed and I laughed and said I thought it was wheels up at 8:00 PM. He said correct and I just laughed. He asked, if I was ready and I said well that depends on what they really want but I think so. I said good night and a very long and fun day was over.

I woke super early and super excited. I started to pack and Cole stuck his head in and said damn dude it's a two day trip, your taking more shit that mom. So you running or fucking around? I laughed and we were off on the run. Ray was there again as well JJ and I was missing Sean. When we got back dad was having coffee and reading the paper, he looked up and said, nice to see you are packing. Oh and very nice suits, I wasn't snooping I was delivering a gift, it's on your bed. I said thanks, I think. Upstairs I just laughed out loud as there were 6 ties and a small box. I opened the box and there was a very nice Rolex watch but it was something I considered totally useless and totally not me. I jumped in the shower and selected very casual clothes for work. I knew dad would be furious as I had 3 interviews. Well this was an Enterprise hire and I would dress as I wanted. Downstairs I thanked him for the ties and the over the top watch. He smiled and said little things matter. On the drive to the office, I considered the dress for the NASA meetings and I would wear a tie but as soon as we got serious, I would take my jacked off, loosen the tie and roll up the sleeves. Then I thought, talking about over the top and I just laughed at my self. The tie thing just wasn't me. I'm simply going to have to pick my spots. I decided to check with the Major, Jim not Jack.

At the office I stopped to chat with Ruth and asked how she was and about her family and went into the office and damn, there were no piles on the desk. Riley appeared and we started the update. I asked about the piles and she said that there would only be important shit on the desk in the morning and if they were urgent, I would get an emailed copy. I asked if I was being kept out of the loop? She said Mike, you get into the weeds too often, that's why I'm here. She said the furniture install started at 8:30 and consisted of three workstations. She had revived the location and from what she saw it would be more than fantastic. I asked that she send a company email inviting anyone interested to visit tomorrow after work but before 6:00. They can even leave an hour early. She laughed and said, I bet nobody shows but they will all take the hour. I asked if anyone from J & J had been there? She said that she hadn't seen them there in days. I said remind them about Friday. Oh, please ask Bruce about the dress and say, that I like it casual. She laughed and said, well I see that. When we were finished she said have a great trip and if you can keep The Majors in toe and out of the newspaper. I simply said thanks.

I stood up to stretch and Ruth appeared with a coffee and said your first interview is here and they are scheduled every hour and she handed me coffee. I said thanks and put him in the conference room. I'll be there in a minute as I have a phone call to make. Once I was alone, I called Jim and it went to voicemail. The message was, asshole stop fucking around and call me, I'm out of town from 8:00 tonight till Thursday evening, fucking call me. With that out of the way I grabbed a note pad and a pen and went to the conference room. When I opened the door this mid 20 year old stood up shook my hand and said, good morning Mr. Simmons, I am Alex Carter, thanks for meeting with me. I smiled and sat down and said I'm Mike around here my dad is Mr. Simmons. He smiled and seemed to relax some. I asked, so Alex what do you know about Standard Property. He said it is a new company with a great reputation and managed to beat me out of a deal or two. I asked which one and he said I had DinoVox situated in a building in town until your space became available. I asked about business and he said it was challenging as there was lots of space and few companies looking to move. He said he started in Real Estate right out of college which was Penn State, main campus with a business degree and a minor in PR. Then he said, I'm sorry I should have handed you the when we shook hands. I looked at the resume and set it aside. I asked him to tell me about himself and he said he was 25, grew up in Peters Township, played baseball in high school and lives in the south side currently and was looking to move and then work became challenging. Ok Alex, why are you interested in working for me? Well the simple answer is you. I actually laughed and said, ok why? Well when it was reported in the paper that you predicted this current climate everyone in the office laughed, as we were in the middle of a great year. The feeling was that you were a young punk and didn't know anything. Then I started to look at the listings and potential clients and thought, damn he is right. Then I started to watch you more closely and liked what I saw. I asked about compensation requirements and he replied, industry standard would work, nothing more, nothing less. I asked about Mason and he said a fierce competitor and he beat me because he had something I didn't have, not because he was better. I asked about his income last year and he said very high 5 figures. I said 90's and he shook his head in the affirmative. I asked about a non-compete and he said nope. I asked when he could start and he said well as soon as I give notice they will throw me out. I said, client list and he replied, you shouldn't know that. I said thanks for coming in this morning. I will be leaving this evening after dinner for a two day business trip. As you know I have 2 more interviews today and I want this wrapped up by Friday. I will let you know, one way or another Wednesday, via email and will want the successful candidate here Friday afternoon. Sorry about the email method but I'm swamped. He said thanks and stood up shook my hand and started out. I said, oh we require a drug test, he laughed and said, totally understood and expected.

Ruth appeared with iced tea and told me that she guessed I had my fill of coffee. I said thanks and went to my office. I was reading the previous resume and Ruth said the next candidate was waiting in the conference room. I opened the door and when I went in a guy who was about the same age as the previous guy was sitting in a chair, I went up to him and put out my hand and said good morning, I am Mike Simmons, he shook my hand and remained seated. He said that he was Robert Stoodt. I said well it's nice to meet you, why are you interested Standard Property? He said well it is a new company and would provide me an opportunity to grow. I asked about business and he said, well there is none. I then asked about his income last year and he said well it was good, mid 5 figures my best ever. I said I see you are an IUP alumni, he said yup, it was a good school and he graduated in 5 years, Major was business. He started in Real Estate right out of school. I asked for a resume and he said he didn't bring one as he thought I would have had it. I was becoming less and less interested. There were a few inane questions and I asked this would be you third job change.Why all the moving around? He said he is simply looking for a better opportunity with a young dynamic company. I thanks him and said I would be making a decision by the end of the week. I thanked him for his time and went to my office.

In my office I called Maggie and asked, so is this a set up? I have talked with two of your three candidates and the second one needs to buy a clue, I'm expecting the third one will be worth my time? Mike, Robert was good and I have no idea why he would have been a dud. I said, well is the third one worth my time? She said, well I believe so. I said thanks and hung up. I had about 30 minutes as the second interview was over quickly so went for a quick walk around the building. Back in my office I picked up my phone and there was a message from Jim, "Mike back in town Sunday, see you then and calm the fuck down." Once again Ruth appeared and said the final interview was in the conference room. I said thanks and I'll be there as soon as I order lunch. I placed an order for a chicken salad with Italian dressing and went in the conference room. When I entered the room the guy stood, shook my hand and said good morning and I believe you prefer to be called Mike, I hope that correct, I am Wayne Hillgrove and I am not related to the announcer guy. I laughed and said Mike is fine and I was handed a resume. I asked for him to tell me about himself and he said he is 30 been in the Real Estate business for 8 years is married and has a 2 year old son. He is a Vice President at a competitor. I said ok, why the change? He said a young, new company in need of some direction to what is already a good reputation. Something that I can help mold and develop. Not to mention that you seem to know what you are doing. I said, so you are willing to work with a kid 13 years younger than you? Mike, you might be a kid but you have started something here that makes sense. Also, you had the balls to challenge the status quo and laid the establishment for being complacent. I asked about his income and he said well it was 125 last year and will be nowhere near that this year. I asked how he manages that and he said, well I plan on 75 every year and invest the rest. My wife Jan and I live in Whitehall and simply live quiet lives. Mike, I am careful, professional and know this business inside and out. I need a challenge and think you need my experience and professionalism. Mike, what is missing in the area is a company that can lease and develop space and assist in interior management.

I thought for a minute and asked, so Wayne what do you know about me. He laughed and said not as much as I stood as this is fast tracked. You are an excellent student, an outstanding athlete, you have a ton of money and a very good sense of what you want to do and so far you are a rock star, in this musty old town and want to move ahead and damn the consequences. Wayne, if I hire you as president of Standard Property what is your first move? He said a business plan within a week to discuss and hire a young aggressive dude and get to work. I asked if he knew Alex Carter and he said yes, a young very capable guy, well a diamond in the rough. I asked what he knew about Enterprises and he said a growing conglomerate that houses an architect and a law firm as well as Standard Property. So you are aware I wear a couple of hats? He said what I see is that you loosely manage the components of Enterprises and need top management in each component. What I need to do this is for a one year guarantee of the $75 I mentioned earlier and then the typical compensation plan for this position. He looked right at me and asked, so when do I start? I laughed and said as soon as you pass the drug test. I would like the business plan by the end of next week. I'm out of town till Thursday evening and have a PR thing with the furniture manufacturer on Friday. Please have Ruth take you to Maggie and she can take care of the details. I said welcome aboard but you need to talk with Alex as I like him al lot and you are correct he is not ready to run the company. He said understood and I handed him Alex's resume.

With all that done I went into the office and started on my salad and called Beth. She answered laughing and I asked what's so funny? She said you having time during the day to talk. Beth, I have been non stop since 7:50 and it's lunch. I have an 8:00 flight to Florida and won't be back till Thursday night, I I thought I'd call. We talked about nothing in particular and I said that I would call when I got home Thursday and I hoped we could do something Friday. She said as long as it isn't a repeat of last Friday. I said well I was hoping for some time just you and me? She said well just get a room and I'm sure it will be different than last week? Well babe, I don't plan these things out. She laughed and said well if you behave, I'm sure your will be horned up. I said wee will see. I call Thursday. She said well have a good time and hung up. I'm thinking so is this just about sex? I'm not letting that happen and we are not getting a room.

I was finishing up a bunch of mundane shit when Maggie asked for a minute. I said what's up? Mike did you just in fact hire two of the three people I sent to you? I said well I hired one and made a strong recommendation and Wayne said he needed someone young and aggressive soon, besides this is an Enterprise hire. Ok, I was just checking and Wayne said to let Alex know and to schedule a drug test. I asked, so what do you need from me? She said, just checking, you confuse the shit out of me. I said, adult language please and she laughed. With all that done I sent a final email to Riley and let her know what happened today, asked Ruth to call me when necessary and left for home.

At home, I grabbed what I was sure my last beer for the week and went to my room tried on a new suite and it was a perfect fit. I finished packing and included the ties dad bought but not the watch. I needed to find him a way to have him return the damn thing. Then I jumped in the shower and was enjoying the hot water when Cole jumped in. MJ, I'm running late as I have a date and Sam will be here soon and pretty soon I'll also be driving. Then he said, oh I forgot and he got on his knees and started to suck my cock. I just leaned against the shower wall and let him go at my cock, pleasuring me. I was moaning and begging home not to stop. I was so hard and try as I might he pushed me over the edge and I said dude, I'm going to shoot. He immediately pulled off, stood up and kissed me and said, I had to get off as I didn't want cum breath. MJ please finish and let me shower. I grabbed him and gave him a big kiss and said I'll see you Sunday and play smart. He said thanks and I dried off and dressed in preppy casual clothes. I took the suit bags, a small suitcase and a backpack downstairs and set them by the door. I grabbed a sandwich and iced tea and was waiting for dad. I was reading the paper and there was no sign of him. I cleaned up and threw my bags in the back seat and left for the airport.

I pulled as close to the jet as I could and Dillon grabbed a bag and Jack just shook his head saying, it only 2 days. I said well I have multiple meetings and love running at sea level. I parked the car and when I returned dad pulled up and Jack started checking the jet out. I joined him and he laughed asking if I trusted him? I said well if you are putting your ass in there, I'm good. He laughed and asked, is there nothing you forget? We finished and Major Jim appeared and said, let's get going. Once inside Major Jim said ok buckle up and stay that way till told otherwise. Great weather and flight time should be 2 hours 10. Fuck he wasn't kidding and it was a quick steep takeoff and Dillon was looking a little sick. Once we got to cruising level it was a great flight. Soon enough we were told we could move around and Jack appeared asking who wanted to sit up front and I volunteered Dillon. Jack sat beside me and we chatted and we were talking about nothing in particular. Then I asked how many of these guys he knew? He said MJ, almost all of them. I was shortlisted but too young and then got hurt. Jack, does that bother you? It did but I'm over it. Why is this important to you? I'm trying to decide if you need to accompany me at these meetings. Michael, I will always do anything you ask, so cut the shit and let's just do it. Just then a smiling Dillon came back and said Jack, Jim needs a break.

A few minutes later Major Jim came back and said Mike, sit with Jack and don't get any ideas about flying. I said yes, sir. I went upfront and strapped in put the headphones on hit the intercom and said, ok Why? MJ, you helped me get out of a situation and made the transition easy, fixed graduate school and we are a very good team. I said and the sex of different flavors? Jack laughed and said yes, that's important and we both want the same thing a couple of kids and occasional fun. I said we need to talk about that. Jack said so why the fuck do you think you are sitting up here with headphones on. Ok, Jack talk. He laughed and said it's not all that complicated and I wanted to make sure we were on the same page. Jack, if you mean having 2 or 3 kids and a woman to care about and who does not ask too many questions. It also needs to be limited to a select few guys and safer sex. Mike, that's perfect. Just then Jim came back tapped me on the shoulder and said I need that seat. I got up and went in the back with dad and Dillon wondering what I just agreed to. Dillon and I chatted and dad kept dozing off. I asked Dillon about his time upfront and he said totally amazing. He never realized what went into all this. He asked so, how much does this all cost and would commercial be cheaper? I laughed saying I have no idea but it is way more convenient, simply come and go as we please and the real savings is in our time.

Just the Jack got on the speaker saying: MJS Air will be landing in 15 minutes, the weather is a muggy 81 degrees. The crew hopes you have enjoyed the flight and will be flying with us again. I burst out laughing and could hear Major Jim saying, very cute asshole. However, it set the tone for the trip, well for Jack was hell bent on having a fun time. The landing was smooth and there was a van waiting for us and it was a quick ride to the hotel.

At the hotel we had to check in individually and we each had our own rooms. Once situated, in our rooms, we all met in the bar. The idea was to discuss the itinerary for Wednesday. Dad said that all he knew was that we were to be in the lobby at 7:00. Jack took drink orders and when I asked for iced tea he simply shook his head and went for drinks. When he came back, I indeed had iced tea and simply said thanks, there is an image, to develop. I finished my drink and said good night and went to the room. I jumped right in the shower shaved and was drying off when there was a knock on the door. I wrapped a towel around myself and opened the door to see Jack with a big smile and a beer and a scotch. He said that's perfect he handed me a drink and pulled the towel off saying, fuck that's better than perfect. I sat on the bed nude, drinking the scotch and asked, why is it that only one of us is nude? He said well I was just delivering a drink. I got, put the drink down and went over and grabbed him and we started kissing. Soon his shirt was on the floor and I undid his belt and started pulling his pants down and started to laugh. I looked at him and asked, do you always fly COMMANDO? He Daugherty and pushed me on the bed and started kissing, then he whispered in my ear, just lay there and let me pleasure you. His found was in my ear and he went to my neck and was kissing an licking. Then he started very slowly to my chest and I was surprised when he licked my left pit. When he reached my nipple he was tentative and I grabbed his head held it on my nip and said please work them and I was rewarded with a slight bite. I was so hard, it hurt but he moved down the happy trail and skipped my cock and was licking and sucking my balls. Then he hit that manic area between my balls and hole and was licking and kissing. Finally he moved to my cock and swallowed the entire shaft. He pulled off and was licking the head and he put his tongue in my piss hole and I lost it and shot a massive load all over his face. I pulled him up and started licking my load and we were kissing and making out and all of a sudden he stood up and shot his load on my face and we were kissing again intensely and enjoying the loads on our faces. We laid there for a while and when he got up, I said that was pretty intense for an older guy. Jack laughed and went to the bathroom. He got dressed and said, well I wonder what room service will think of your image when the see this mess tomorrow? He simply left and I set the alarm, knowing I needed a shower in the morning.
