We finally finished in the locker room and quickly loaded our bags in the bus. I actually felt sorry for the people who would open the bags and deal with filthy uniforms and sweaty disgusting pads. I waited till I was the last and got on the bus. Coach was sitting alone behind the driver and I sat down. Coach smiled and asked Mike, what can I do for you? Well Coach I do want something but I also want to say thanks and I would have liked it to have been less stressful. Mike, thanks for that. What do you need? Coach a second medal. Coach laughed and he asked, why? Well I would like to give one to Ruth. She deserves one for all the extra work. Coach pulled his bag from under the seat and pulled out a medal. I said thanks and went to my seat in the back with JJ. We were all tired and it was a short ride to the hotel.
We pulled into the parking lot and there was a medium size crowd all yelling and Coach asked that we just go right inside and I was thrilled. JJ and I were last in the line to get inside JJ said Fuck just loud enough for me to hear and that was followed with, hi dad how did you get in here? Then I saw my dad and went over, gave him a hug and said same question. Well we decided not to dive back tonight and they had a room here so we took it. It seems like some Coach left early and never used the room. The dad asked, so guys how did that happen? JJ laughed and said well we ONED him. The Major asked, so you played and won a state championship game with 3 coaches. JJ smiled and said well that's a couple more than we had all year and it actually made me a better player. We all ordered food and the dads had beers and we has soft drinks. Once we finished eating JJ said guys, I'm done in and need to get to bed. He hugged his dad, something I hadn't seen before and we headed to our room.
Once we were in the room and the door was locked, we looked at each other and hugged. Then JJ kissed me and clothes were flying in every direction and we fell onto the bed. I was on top of JJ and we were making out and grinding our cocks and JJ pushed me off him and said dude, we aren't wasting a load on out stomachs. He got up pulled the outer cover off the bed and sat on the bed before I knew it his cock was at my lips and my cock was deep in his throat. We just sucked until each of us shot a load and was swallowed. JJ moved up and we pulled the covers up and fell asleep in each other's arms. Neither woke for more as we were both exhausted.
The alarm woke us up and it was a quick mutual shower with no fooling around. We gathered our clothes and ran down the steps for breakfast and JJ ate a bunch of eggs and sausage and I had coffee and toast. I was going to get on the bus early so I refilled my coffee and started for the bus when a local reporter came up to me and said Mike, last night in the post game press conference you said, when pushed, that the District Championships were more important than the State Championship. Do you care to explain that or walk that back? I smiled and said nope as it is how I feel. I turned to walk to the bus and he said Mike, that comment caused a big stir and you will be asked about that statement a lot. I shrugged and jumped on the bus and settle in my usual seat in the back. I looked out the window as I was putting my ear buds in and noticed that the reporter was chatting with as many of the team as he could. I smiled as I knew he was asking as many people as he could which game was more important to them, Districts or States. I laughed out loud knowing what he would discover. When JJ sat down I asked him and he said Mike, the Districts are more special. I'm new here but there is something different about Western Pennsylvania, it's a tame version of how things are in Texas. You guys don't take about it but you guys stick together and do things athletically better than anywhere in the country and those clowns at the PAAA simply don't get it. In fact they actually dislike our district. I smiled and said JJ, I shouldn't have said what I said last night and now it is a big thing and in a month I have that meeting in Harrisburg. I just made that more difficult. JJ laughed and said well MJ, that's what you do always taking the road less traveled or more difficult. I turned my tunes on and zoned out.
At some point JJ pulled my ear bud out and said you have been out of it for an hour. I smiled and asked so what would buying Mia for Christmas, besides that little guy between your legs? JJ laughed and said, fuck I haven't thought about it. What you getting Winnie? Dude, I have no idea but it came be expensive and I don't act like a high school kid often enough to have an idea. We stopped at the Bedford rest stop on the and I knew we were making great time. For me it was a bathroom break and coffee. Once we were on the road again I started to think about all that was on my plate when we got back. There was the land deal to finalize and a new design, more time with dad and the family, more time at work, a decision about graduation nd there was the bachelor party and the wedding and most importantly dealing with Riley and her position. JJ then asked me if I would be willing to run track. I laughed and asked JJ, why in hell would I do that. I haven't even decided about graduation yet and I'm looking for less time at school, if I stay, not more. MJ, we wouldn't even have to practice and it would be one relay event. A 4 x 400 relay that's all and we could do that in our sleep. JJ please, there is a lot of shit I have to deal with. We were both quiet for a while and JJ finally said well please think about it and let me know. The rest of the ride was mostly quiet and I knew JJ was upset. Damn, I knew I would have to do this and that would mean being in school and keeping my attendance up all of which was a pain in the ass. As we pulled into the parking lot at school I looked at JJ and said dude, ok I run track but they need to understand a few things. JJ smiled and said thanks.
As soon as we got off the bus The girls ran up to us and we both got big hugs. I smiled and asked babe, do you need a ride home? She laughed and said nope but I need a ride to your place. We found my car and we're quickly at my place and she surprised me and grabbed my hand and took me in the house. There was dad, Megan, Cole, Jessica and Ashley. I thought damn what got into the rents with all the girls here for lunch. It turned out it was a great afternoon and not only a lot of fun but very relaxing. Turned out I had a bit much to drink and Cole for some reason wasn't drinking and he took Winnie and Jessica home and I was surprised to find he was home right away. I got Cole aside and asked what's up? MJ, I asked the rents to do this as mom needs to see that it isn't all about sex and besides I started training for golf as I'm playing the first tour event and it's in Hawaii. MJ, it's not that important but it's great practice for what's important which is the Pebble Beach event as playing well there could get me into the Open without qualifying, I'm not sure I will have the time to do that. Cole, the rents are both OK with all this and he smiled and said well my grades have never been better.
I spent some time with dad and Megan as Ashley was in for the night. Dad said that I cause a big commotion with the District Championship being more important than States. Then he asked if I really meant it and I shrugged and said yes. Megan said well that will make your testimony and the questions more difficult. I smiled and said not really, I'll just have to tell them why and with the cost of this trip and inadequate compensation that will be easy. Megan laughed and said well basically your dad paid paid for most of it. I just laughed out loud and said, then I said it wasn't as important as the Districts. Both dad and Megan laughed and said dad said well according to the paper every teammate agreed with you, so now it's a District problem. I said good night and went to my place.
At my place I picked up the phone and the voice mails were full and I wasn't sure I wanted to deal with them so I flipped through and there was a message from Jace. I didn't listen to it and simply called. We chatted about the winery which would have the store open between Christmas and New Years aa the tourists would be back. Then the topic turned to the Bachelor Party and I told him the big house was all theirs and would be cleaned Monday. He said he had ordered beer and food. Then I said Jace, Cole's place is off limits and you can stay in my place with one other guy and that I would not be attending. Jace was shocked and quiet and I said Jace, I don't fit in that group as I'm a lot younger than everyone and with flying up and back I won't be able to drink and it won't be any fun. Jace thought for a minute and asked is this because of Jack and NASA. Jace, that has nothing to do with it and as far as he is concerned we are good. Just let me know what you need and I said good night and hung up.
There was nothing else I wanted to do, so I grabbed the Sunday paper and started to read about the game. They raved about the linebacker play and that JJ had an outstanding game and save at least 2 scores. The article raved about his speed and game smarts. The raves continued with Wyatt's play and his poise and ability to read defenses and that his arm was unbelievable. Then it was mentioned that this was done with only three coaches. Then there was a paragraph about me saying the Districts were more meaningful for the team. I tossed the paper aside and jumped into the shower. I laid in bed thinking and decided that I would actually go to school in the morning. I had things to do there and I needed to talk with Mr. Ramo about an easy schedule for second semester. I smiled when I though about his reaction when I wanted to be in classes with Winnie. I drifted off and was completely relaxed.
I was up before the alarm, prepped the coffee and dressed in warm clothed and met JJ and Cole for our usual run. It was a great run and it was great to be back to normal. Back inside I turned the coffee on showered, shaved and dressed for school, in school clothes then for the last time I put my letterman's jacket on and poured coffee in my travel mode and drove to school. At school I found my ex and took off the jacket and said, I believe you wanted this, you can have it as where I'm going even the third team has one of these. It was immediately thrown in my face and I was told to go fuck myself. I laughed and went to English. It was a fun day as no one expected to see me and that was fun. Physics was all work and we didn't flirt, well hardly at all. I didn't go to lunch but stopped at guidance and set an appointment with Mr. Ramo. The next stop was at Doc Johnson's office and I thanked him for the weekend and told him I would like to graduate in June.
I then went to my locker and retrieved the second metal and a Hershey Bar and went to the Athletic office. When Ruth saw me she got up and gave me a hug and I smiled and said my last act as team captain I have something for you and I gave her the Hershey Bar.she smiled and said thanks and I started to walk away and I stopped and turned and said, I almost forgot and I reached into my pocket and handed her the medal. I said Ruth you worked your ass off for two years and you deserve this every much as I do and she started to cry. I held her and when she got composed again she smiled and said Michael, I will always remember this moment and I don't know how we will manage without you. With that I was off to the office.
I wasn't dressed for the office but didn't care. This was my damn day and if people didn't like it they could work somewhere else. I walked right by security and walked up the four flights to my office. I said hi to Amy and she just shook her head and I went to my office and fired up the computer. I checked the financials nd things were good and all of a sudden I heard, what the fuck is your problem? I didn't even look up and said well good afternoon Major Jack. So you are not coming to the Bachelor Party? I said correct and I just don't fit in with your group and I can't drink because I would have to fly up and back. That's all it's nothing else so have fun. Clearly pissed he left closing the door. Liam appeared and he asked if I was in all week? I said yes and he laid out my schedule and there were two meetings every day but Friday and that was one with the Union President. Tuesday would be Tim and then my Financial advisor. Wednesday would be the Architect and the Bruce at the furniture dealership Thursday was the architects and Heidikamp from Standard Property. Friday was a noon closing and then a late meeting with the Union. I asked Liam to schedule that for South Hills and dinner.
Liam then asked if I knew what Cole was up to, going to Hawaii for a Tour event and then Pebble Beach in February. I said yes and was he good with it and he smiled and said how can you be upset about a week in Hawaii? Look Liam, I'm good with all this as long as you are. He said thanks and as of now I'm good and I told him he didn't need me for practice on simulators. I laughed at that and said manage it as you wish. Then Liam said, please don't move around the building a lot dressed like you are. If you need to meet with someone I'll get them. I said thanks Tim first and then Maggie and you here for both of those. Oh, Liam I want out of here by 4:30 tomorrow and I'll need Thursday as well as I will be working out those days and Saturday as well. With that he left saying I'll bring you coffee but next time you show up dressed like that you can die of thirst as far as I'm concerned. I laughed and said, I get it.
The meeting with Tim was about 40 minutes and we discussed the legal matters dealing with the land purchase. Tim was concerned that Kirkpatrick hadn't done the spill test until this morning. I shrugged and said well ours is good and if it it becomes an issue sue him for a couple of million. Tim laughed and said he couldn't Waite till Friday. Then he said Mike, Major Messer is going to tell you to call the Mayor. Well Tim he can tell me to do that and I will once I'm ready and not a second before. Tim laughed and said we will see about that. Oh, great game and he left. Liam went right to my desk and called Maggie and said that Mike was ready. Liam laughed and I said Liam, just don't tell me.
Maggie appeared a few minutes later took one look at me and said no wonder you are hiding out dressed like that, what did you do now that I need to fix. I laughed and said just sit the hell down and we need a new COO. So Mike you replacing Riley? Maggie how about we find an acting COO. Maggie looked at Liam and I said no he is too important to me for that. Then I said, please talk with Dr. Williams and let me know what we need to do. Riley will run out the leave and we can live with that but she won't be back. Mike, that's a pretty big bet you are making as you might end up with two executives in the same position. Maggi, you worry too much and we are not betting. Liam laughed at that nd Maggie just looked at us. Maggie left and I thanked her and I told Liam that I had a bunch of calls to return and I was sure he has shit to do.
There were more that 20 messaged and I simply deleted most of them and the ones that interested me were from Ray and I would call him tonight, Patti from KDKA and Mr. Heilman the League Executive Director. I called the league office and was put right through to the Director. He started all nice and said congratulations on the State Championship. I said thanks and he thanked me for the comment about the aDistrict Championship being so important. I said thanks again but there is something else on your mind, what is it? Well can we meet and discuss your upcoming testimony before the Oversight Committee. I simply said sir, I don't think that would be a good idea. I have definite feelings about things and will be expressing them as that game cost our district a lot of money and we sold at least 15,000 tickets and some of those people had to stand in the cold for hours. I'm good., thanks for the call and I hung up. I laughed as I could see the smoke coming out of his ears. The call to Patti went to voicemail and I would have liked another coffee but wouldn't ask Liam to fetch it.
I sat there thinking about the building and then went to dad's office and I was surprised to see that he was still around. I sat down and he smiled and asked what's up? Well dad, I have decided to stick it out at school and to be very relaxed about that and take shit classes and still be here by noon every day. JJ, talked me into running the 4 x400 relay and I need to do some Christmas shopping. Dad's smile kept getting bigger and bigger. Mike, that's all great news for me and Megan will be thrilled. So dad what can I get her for Christmas? Mike, anything at all just don't go overboard. I laughed and said, well I was hoping for more help than that. Ok, Mike but what's up with your dress today? Well dad, I have no idea as I'm just in a mood as a bunch of shit just ended and and a lot is starting, I just wanted one more day as a kid. Dad, I'm in a good place so don't make more of it than it is. Dad smiled and said that's a deal but talk with your head doctor. Dad, I just told you I'm good and in fact I'm really good and I went back to my office.
Back in my office, thinking about the game, I remembered the brief conversation and him indicating he would be my teammate at VT next year. I dialed the number and it was answered on the second ring and I said, hi Dan this is Mike Simmons, you recovered from the game? He laughed and said, so you actually remembered the number. I said yup I'm cursed with a fantastic memory. Dan laughed nd said, well to answer you question I'm good and ready to move on but that loss hurt. Oh, we ate that giant candy bar and it helped remove the memory. Well Dan, I'm glad I could help. Well actually you could have helped by not being so physical, we didn't expect that. Dan, when did you commit to VT? Mike, right before our first game as I wanted the drama to end. Mike, they told me about you and I have to say they are thrilled to get you. As for me I'm a highly regarded Defensive end and a great pass rusher. I laughed and said well don't ever sell yourself short and you are way better than that. He changed the subject and asked if I had plans to be on campus anytime soon? I said well I'm very tied up until mid January, let's chat and possibly JJ, you and I can go together. He said that would be great as we can meet there and it's about 6 hours for both of us. Dude we can talk about that, have a great holiday. I would call Sean and see what was up with that dude and he was playing it close to the vest and I liked him.
I grabbed a pad and went to the conference table and started to sketch out ideas for the new building and decided that the industrial building would be a mini version of the bigger building. Then Tim was back and said Mike, I have the report from the Zoning Commission and they listed the entire plot as Commercial/Industrial, does that bother you? I laughed and said no in fact that's good. He sat down and looked at what I was doing and said what about cutting a football in half and putting it on stilts. I said thanks and grabbed a pencil and dried a rectangle and then added a curved roof. He smiled and said you, and the arched roof keeps your view. I said thanks and I'll discuss it with the architects. Then he said Mike, please cut the Major a break and call the Mayor, he called twice today. Tim, as soon as I get in here tomorrow I promise I'll call. Tim smiled and said thanks.
I decided that was enough for today and packed up the office and I noticed dad was gone, I said good night to Amy and got on the elevator. When the elevator doors opened there stood Chief Evans with both hands on her hips and she quietly said my office right now. Once there with the door being closed she said dressing like a homeless person is on thing but blowing by my detail is another, why did you do that? Well Chief because I could, I own the place. Well Mr. Owner next time you violate security around here I'll have you carried out of here. Is that clear? I smiled and said have a good evening and I went to the car. On the drive to my place I thought I was in a strange mood and would be better served talking with dad and if that didn't help I would call Dr. Adam's.
At my place I parked and went right into the house and found dad and Megan enjoying an afternoon drink. I filled a glass with ice poured a scotch and joined them. Megan took one look at me and asked so why did you wear rags today? Megan they were there and I just put them on. In a stern voice she said Michael, that's a bull shit answer as you always dress for a reason, so what was it? I took a sip of my scotch and said, I don't know. Well Mike you were good very good in 5th grade the first time you put a football uniform on and got better and better and you became one of the best in the country and Saturday night that ended and you are scared. You have something else to live up to and you needed something old nd comfortable. Then at work you tried to do it the old way and blew past security. Now you have another set of expectations to live up to and that scares the crap out of you. Mike, there is no reason to feel that way as you are that good. The only question is do you want it bad enough? Megan, I think so. She laughed and said son, that's not good enough you need to be all in or all out, just choose. You are certainly good enough. You should just get in one of your airplanes and go down there and decide. Understand you dad and your team have the business side covered. Go be a college kid. I smiled and said thanks, I needed that and I'm playing football and starting next year. I got a hug and dad said Mike, that's what I love about her. I said good night and asked that if Cole got in early please ask him to come see me.
At my place I though thing about being 100% in I better do some CMU shit and I started and was on fire and in under 2 hours finished the assignment and sent it to the Dean and started another. This one was much more difficult and I was struggling when Cole appeared and asked so what's up? Dude go to my closet and take anything you want related to school. Mike, I'm good just throw out what you don't want, I'm good. Remember I'm new there and I don't have the strings you have but I do like the place and my friends and my girl, I'll see you in the morning. I went back to the CMU and the break helped and I worked on it till midnight then sent that along to the Dean as well. With that I jumped into bed and day 1 of my new life was over.
