I woke just before the alarm and took a shower and experimented with my hair and towel dried it and let if fall in place and it looked good. I shaved and chose preppy clothes and went downstairs and no dad. I drove to Carrie's and Sam answered and said, dude you know not to be early. I said Sam, how are you and Kathy? He said very good and I bought her an ankle bracelet. I said Sam, I thought for sure you bought her a condom? He said, well if I did or not it's none of your business. Just then Carrie came down in tight black jeans and a sweater and holding an overnight bag. I said damn you look sexy time for a quickie? She laughed and said, I thought we agreed not to use that term, let's go. I kissed her, threw her bag in the trunk and drove home and Jim and Ash were in the driveway. They got in the back and we drove to the Arena, when I pulled into the VIP parking, Jim said well so much for a low keyed hockey game.

Inside I went directly to the Igloo Club gave my name and we were taken to a table in the back and in a corner and I silently said, thanks dad. The waiter came over and Jim and I ordered iced tea and so did the girls. Our drinks came and it was exactly what we ordered. We were looking the menu over and the Mayor came over and I was thinking please don't. He said hello and I introduced everyone and he said enjoy the game and walked away and I was thrilled to be left alone. We ordered another round of drinks and the food. We were laughing and kidding each other and having a blast and our drinks came and it was beer and white wine. I looked at the waiter and he said when the Mayor buys drinks the only thing left to do is say thanks and drink up. I laughed and said tell him thanks but no more tonight. He said sure and moved on. The food came and shit this was a fun low keyed night. I had to pee and I got up and went to the rest room and Jim followed me and while standing beside he said, dude, thanks for this, it's a blast. I said no problem, zipped up, turned and ran right into the Mayor. He said, Mike a quick word? I said real quick, this is a business free night. He said, that spec building that's delaying your next project, do you want that on hold? I said absolutely not as I have a business relationship with that Architectural firm, please cooperate. He said ok, but we need your other project sooner than later. I said, please call me at the office Monday afternoon, or better yet stop in around 3:00. He said, ok I'll see you then.

It was almost game time and as we were walking to our seats, Jim asked, dude do I need skates? I laughed and said, wingman get accustom to this. I leaned close to Carrie and said, babe can I do you right now? She laughed and said, Michael we have all night and I took a nap. I said babe so did I. The game was intense, but it was always like that against the Flyers. There was a fight and the score was tied 1 -1. We went back to the club and I ordered drinks and snacks. Jim was amazed at how fast the game was and said that it took time to adjust watching. So Jim, are you and Ash, spending the night together and he said, yes but the rents don't know. I thought shit, I hope I'm not involved. Mike, JJ and I are covering for each other. I said, if that's what it takes. I'm glad that's not my situation. Then I said, I bet the Flyers win. He said that's a bet. I leaned to Carrie and said, what I get for Valentines Day and she said a sexy date. I laughed and said, game time and we returned to our seats.

The second period was intense and there was a fight right in front us and Jim and I loved it with the girls not so much. We had switched seats with the girls sitting together and Jim and I together. The score remained tie and it was back to the Igloo Club. Again it was drinks and snacks. As we would not be coming back after the game I asked for the check and was told it was taken care of. I asked the Mayor and was told no, that guy over there. I said, Jim take Carrie and Ash to the seats, I won't be long. I went over and said, hi I'm Mike thanks for paying the bill. He smirked and said, I know who you are and I'm Allen's dad. I said, so why the meal? He laughed and said because it will be fun to see him kick your ass when you play Central. I said really, what's your problem? He said, I don't have a problem, my son does. He said you are an overrated ass. Now you are costing me tuition for a high school education. I said, so just what do you know about me? He said, just what my son tells me. I said, perfect I'll see you Monday afternoon. He said nope, I'm working. I smiled and said, I know and I'll see you Monday. I turned and walked to the seats. Carrie said, Mike what was that all about and I said something for Monday. The game ended in a tie even after the overtime. I looked at Jim and said, dude that's perfect we both lost. We drove to my house and they went wherever they were going and Carrie and I went inside.

We went to the game room and I got her a wine and me scotch and we exchanged cards and made out. Then she got up went to her bag and handed me a gift. I pretended to be mad saying babe we had a deal. She laughed and said she could not help herself and it was a gold chain charm for the chain she gave me for Christmas. We finished our drinks and I asked, so you want to go upstairs or you want another drink? I got the pouty look and she said yes. I refilled our drinks and took her hand and went upstairs. I could tell she was pissed about no gift, then she saw the box on my bed and said, Michael you are mean. I said babe, I didn't buy you a gift, I bought us a gift. She laughed and said, damn that box is pretty small for a dildo. I said babe, you are disgusting. Just be nice and open the box. When she opened the box I got a giant hug and she was all over me. Then she stopped and said Mike, I'll be back. She was gone a while and I was thinking what the fuck and just then she appeared nude except for my letterman's jacked and I fucking laughed out loud, took her my arms and she said dude, get naked. It was an intense night with very little sleep. We finally fell asleep in each others arms. I woke first and started nibbling on her neck and she stirred and said, don't you dare leave a mark. I said good morning and started again and damn she was into it again.

We were just laying in bed talking and I said babe, how about a shower. She said, Mike just a shower, this was a great night but I'm used up. We showered and went downstairs and found dad in the kitchen. He said good morning and that coffee is ready and French toast and bacon will be ready in a few minutes. We surprised him by sitting down in the kitchen and I handed him a cup of coffee. He asked about the night and got the G rated version. We ate together and Carrie said dad you and Mike go somewhere and I load the dishwasher. Dad shook his head and said daughter-in-law get your ass in the game room with Mike. I'll be there in a minute. True to his word he wasn't long and we spent a pleasant hour chatting. Carry said, Mike it time for you to take me home. Upstairs she kissed me and said, Michael, thanks for a great night and she kissed me. She packed her bag, put the charm on the gold chain and the bracelet on her wrist and went downstairs, she gave dad a hug and I took her home. I walked her to the door, kissed her goodbye and headed for the car and fuck, Sam came flying out of the house.

I looked at the smile on his face and thought shit. He said, Mike you were right and it was very special. I said, Sam I really don't need to know. He said, Mike it was her idea. I said, Sam I'm glad but part of it being special is not talking about it, with me or you fucking buddies. He said, Mike I understand, but I had to say thanks for helping me not to be a jerk and she is not the fuck of the month. I gave him a hug and said, you used protection, correct? He. Said absolutely. I rubbed his head and said get a haircut and drove home.

At home, I thanked dad for the great time he let us have. I said, well there was one issue and I told him about Allen's dad. He said, Mike you can't fire him. I said dad, I don't want to do that, but he is in for an interesting Monday. I said, dad first thing is I'm giving him cash for the check at the Igloo Club, then I am going to tell him how much I am looking forward to playing against his son. You see I'm a better linebacker than him by a lot and I'm hoping he plays tight end, his best position. Michael, you are a better linebacker most high school kids, but you will get hurt if you let him mess with your mind. Dad, I know all that, I'll just teach him a lesson. Monday is just a heads up and a message to daddy to reign himself and his son in.

Then I said dad what did you do last night? I got no answer and he pivoted back to me saying Mike, you would have done it anyway and this way it was safe, well safer. Dad, thanks you are the best. How about dinner at the club and yes I'll dress accordingly. He said, Mike that would be awesome. I spent the rest of the afternoon in my room thinking about the Mayor and his request. Dinner at the club was painful and I had had too many iced teas. I showered and went to bed.

Monday morning was warm and I punished myself with a run. Then it was coffee a shower and school. The Morning went well and l saw Jim and we went to lunch and I asked about his night with Ashley and he said it was awesome and they pulled it off with no drama. I couldn't wait till I could sign out and I drove directly to the strip. Once there I walked around and things were buzzing. I found the Manager and we talked and I said, I needed two things. He said, ok what are they? I said the personal file for Allen Clarkson and him in my office15 minutes after I get the file. He got up and came back with the file. It was interesting and he appeared to be a very solid guy. I put the file down and was just sitting there when there was a knock on the door. I said please come in Mr. Clarkson. He opened the door and said SHIT. I said, please sit down. He more or less fell in the chair and I said, so Mr. Clarkson how much was the tab at the hockey game? He said, Mr. Simmons, I don't remember. I stood up, took out my wallet and said this should cover it. Mr. Clarkson please don't ever do anything like that again. Then I said your wife will find a bonus in her pay to cover Allen's tuition at Central. Well just long enough for him to play football against me. I hope you will enjoy telling her how that happened. So Mr. Clarkson care to tell me what Allen's problem is with me or perhaps what your problem is with me? He just looked at me. Finally, he said is there anything else? Yes, please answer the question? Then I said never mind, I smiled and said I've had enough fun, please get to work. As he was leaving I said, Mr. Clarkson please tell Allen I said hello. He quietly closed the door. I was fucking furious.

With the amusement over, I called Jorden and asked if we could meet later in the week? He said sure but what's up? I said, well a progress report on the two projects you have underway and thoughts on the vacant land on Second Ave. He said, ok and the he would bring Jodie and I said fine. I asked if we could meet Thursday at the office at 3:00 and he agreed. With that being done, I headed for the car, thinking I'm starving. On the way home I called Mason and asked for an update on things and I got a very positive and organized report. I told him about Thursdays meeting and said that I wanted both him and Dillon there. Then I said would you tell Ruth I asked about her. He said no problem.

On the way home, I called Jim. As soon as he answered I realized something was off. I said, wingman I have a ruler, do you need your cock measured, I can be there in 10 minutes. He laughed and said, thanks but I'm good. Ashley and I had a major fight. I said, ok JIm I'm on my over, we were going to eat and talk. He said, I just ate but talking would be great. I said ok, I'm on my way. I pulled in his driveway and hit the horn and he came running out and jumped in the car. I said where to? He said anywhere where iced tea isn't tea and I laughed. I thought for a minute and drove to my house. At home I grabbed 4 beers and we went upstairs and closed the doo to my room. We sat in the chairs and I asked, Jim what the issue? He said my cock, it's too big and I almost fell out of the chair. Damn, I said, it's nice to see you have a sense of humor. He took another big drink and said, Mike, I love her but I'm being smothered. Jim, really love her or teen love and moving on after high school? He said that the other issue, I fucking love her, just like you and Carrie and I know she doesn't feel the same way. Yet she says all the right shit. Jim are you sure about that? He started on the second beer and said, I'm not sure about any fucking thing.

Ok, Jim slow down on the beer and what was the fight actually about? He said, she wants us to go away together over Spring break. I said so? Well, Mike I was looking to take a break from her and go somewhere else? I thought for a minute and asked if the 4 of us went to VT would that be a compromise? He said that's the other issue, she wants an apartment for the two of us freshman year. She said we could have both a dorm and an apartment. Jim, this doesn't sound like a chick that isn't committed? He said, that's true but I'm being smothered. Jim, you brought that on yourself? He said, where are the fucking cigarettes? Jim, I don't have any.

I thought for a minute and said Jim, Carrie and I had this fight and it was tense. Just give her a win and move on. I know from years of experience one side can't always win or people die. Then I said, Jim pick her up and have a long talk and tell her the apartment could be good, if the finances work. Then have make up sex, it's awesome. He laughed and said thanks, I just needed to vent. I said, I totally get that. Jim, think about that trip to VT. We need to do this and if the girls are into going there they need to see the place. Jim, I'll call those freshmen we spent time with and see if they are around. Mike, let's see how things progress with Ashley, I'm not as confident as you seem? We went downstairs and chatted with dad for a while and Jim saw the cigarettes asked for one and dad said sure, he lit up and said Mike, please take me home. I Just sat there and when he was done with the cigarette, I said ok now we can go. I'm not smoking and don't want to deal with that smell in the car. Jim laughed and said ok, I need to get home and fight with Ashley. Dad laughed out loud and I drove Jim home.

Back at the house, I realized that I was starving. Looking around, there was not much to eat and I made an omelet and toast. While I was eating, I thought damn, where has Ryan been. I finished eating, cleaned up and called Ryan? It rang several times before he answered, sounding like shit. I said, dude you sick? He said he had a bad cold. He said it started yesterday and that's why there was no dinner. I said no problem and I would check on him later. He said thanks and hung up.

Looking around I discovered I was alone as dad had gone out. I went upstairs and called Carrie. I asked if she knew what the problem with Ashley and Jim? She said, Michael WHATS going on, you are on top of this, I'm amazed. Carrie, what's going on, I only have Jim's side? Mike they are smothering each other. Neither of them have anything to do but school and each other. Carrie, doesn't he work at the pharmacy? She laughed and said only when they make him, he doesn't like to work there. Michael, you should work your magic and check that place out, I'm guessing that you will be amazed how well they do. Then I asked, so how is work? She said that the building fabrics were changed from vinyl and we all hope you will be pleased. I asked about the spec building and she said it was due to start demo early next week and that everything was set. I asked her how she was doing after the weekend and she said can we be on for next weekend? I laughed and said, I'm not asking, yet. Then I asked about VT over spring break or did she want to go to the outer banks? She said hmmmmm let me think about that? We chatted for a while and we hung up.

I was starting school work when Tim called. He said Mike, I'm not sure this is an issue but there was a small, short term issue on site today with a city inspector, it was settled quickly. So Tim was it a rogue inspector or the Mayor? Well that's my thoughts, but what you have new going with the Mayor? Tim he wants something done on the second plot, so I'm betting it was a message. I thought for a minute and said, if it happens again shut the job down and I'll have the Major issue a statement that the city is causing issues that shut the project down, until the issue is resolved. Tim, laughed and said Jim is going to want a raise. Once we hung up I sat there thinking, damn the Mayor will take a PR hit for this stunt.

I started, English, then Spanish and finally history, leaving math for tomorrow. I went looking for dad and he still wasn't around, decided to work on math and see if dad came home. Then it was back upstairs and math for an hour. Thankfully, I heard the garage door and went flying downstairs and flew into dads arms and gave him a big hug. He just stood there looking at me and then he said Michael, you ok? I said, dad you had me worried, I had no idea where you were. Mike, it was a date, nothing serious. Dad please leave me a note saying you'll be late or something. Mike, that's a deal and you do the same? I hugged him and said, deal. I went upstairs and climbed into bed.

Tuesday and Wednesday were uneventful I ran in the morning and worked out after school. It was very normal and then it wasn't. On my way home Tim called and asked, if I was serious about shutting the project down? I said absolutely just rest of today and tomorrow. Have Major issue the Press release and send it to the business editor at the PG with my complements. Tim laughed and said have a good night. At home, I went right to the apartment and checked on Ryan. Thankfully he was somewhat improved. I asked him what he wanted for dinner he said chicken soup would be great. I said, ok I'll be right back. I drove to the supermarket and got soup and Italian bread. I heated the soup and set it on the table and called Ryan, he sat down and said thanks, fuck this is a change, you cooking for me. I laughed and said, get better and went to the house.

Inside, I saw a note on the table and I laughed out loud it read "Mike I'm home, dad". I found him in the office and asked about dinner and he said order whatever you want. I ordered a burger and fries for dad and a salad for me. Back in the office dad said, Mike why did you shut down the project? Just to fight with the Mayor? Nope, to put him back in his lane. He wants something from me and he sent a message which I ignored. Second message resulted in a reaction. Dad, the real reaction will be in the PG tomorrow morning. Dad laughed and said hear I thought you were losing interest. Dad, I expanded the team and have figured out how to delegate. The Mayor wants the second plot of land, the one we both own, developed. Mike, how do you figure we? Your Trust owns half and your company owns the other half. Dad, honest, I never thought of it like that. Well, let's see how the Mayor reacts, tomorrow. I'm guessing a call before school. I checked my emails and opened the one from the Major and just flipped the phone to dad. He read the email and the Press Release and said, Mike you will get a call before midnight. I said, nope and turned the phone off. Dad just lit a cigarette and smiled.

I showered and climbed into bed and fell soundly asleep. The next morning it was no run and the morning paper. Damn, it was on the front page. I kept my phone off, showered and went to school. The morning was uneventful and at lunch I turned on the phone and there were I bunch of voicemails from the Mayor, one nastier than the other. I turned the phone off and went to afternoon classes. Finally, I signed out of study hall, went to the stadium sat in the bleachers and called the Mayor. He answered by screaming, WHAT THE FUCK and I hung up. The phone rang and I let it ring 6 times and answered saying, Mayor your vocabulary is better than that. There was silence and he said look you young punk. I hung up again. The Mayor call back and I said Pete, calm down. You are not going to influence the other project in timing or scope. Just quit with the games and let's make a deal. If we can agree on the next project not starting and no more games at the construction site, I'll restart the project tomorrow morning. The Mayor said you win this one, but there is a price to play. Mr. Mayor, keep fucking with me and this project, you will never be Governor and I hung up.

I called, Mason and cancelled the appointment with the architects, then I called Tim and said that it was Ok to restart the construction back up. He said well what did you give the Mayor? I replied, a chance to be Governor. Tim, laughed and said damn, I'm on it. I called the Major and said Jim, it's all worked out. I guess you have the next Press Release ready to go. He said, Mike not at all. How do you want this to go? I said Jim, you looking for a statement from me? Well Mike, that would be appropriate, you have had this planned from the beginning. Just tell me the end game. Jim, I was being pressured to start the next project and I didn't appreciate that. Again Mike, you are correct but the rubble is once again extensive. Jim, I get there will be a price to play and the statement should mitigate the fallout. Mike, you need two PR people, can you try to talk things over before you act? I said, no guarantees but, I'll try.

As for the statement say that the Mayor and I talked several times today and have an agreement. Also say MJS Enterprises agrees to scrupulously observe all city requirements pertaining to this project and is looking forward to working with city officials and a speedy conclusion to the project. The Mayor is looking forward to the speedy conclusion of the project, as well, and the additional jobs. There was quiet for a while and Jim asked, did the Mayor actually agree to that? I laughed and said, yes he did but not in so many words. Call him if you want, but that's the deal and he knows it. He said damn, you are something else. Good night, I have work to do again. Oh, Jim in your spare time please start looking for a jet. Good night.

At home, I went to the apartment and found Ryan doing much better and I ordered him ribs and fries and went back and asked what dad wanted to eat. He said he was cooking t-bones on the grill and he would call me when they were ready.

While dad was doing that, I made a salad and threw two baked potatoes in the microwave. Then I grabbed two beers and went outside and joined dad. We talked about the construction project and his day. My phone rang and when I answered it it was the PG Business Editor asking for a comment about the construction restart. I politely asked him to call the Major. Then he said, well I'm hearing this little dust up was about the land next to your project. I took a deep breath and replied, please contact Major Messer at Technologies and hung up. I looked at dad and said, the fucking Mayor doesn't know when to stop and dad smiled and said, let's eat.

We had a great relaxing meal and another beer. We talked about school and the project and if I was finally settled with the college choice. I know he didn't like the answer when I said that it would be what it becomes as I'm sure he was hoping for a simple yes. Basically, I'm not sure about football at all, well college football. I thanked dad for the steaks and helped clean up and went outside and simply relaxed. Finally, I went upstairs and spent the night on English and a very hard math assignment from CMU. Climbing into bed just before midnight.
