Chapter Seventeen – A Friend Indeed Dave was sleeping soundly when he heard a buzzing sound again. He and Darcy both shot out of bed and began pulling their clothes on in panic until Dave realized the buzzing was just his cell phone. Darcy said, “Jesus, that scared the shit out of me. My heart is racing a mile a minute!” Both had thought it was a smoke alarm, again. Dave nodded and agreed, “Me too!” before he sheepishly picked up his phone and answered, “Hello?” He heard a sweet voice say, “So – you do still think I’m a princess?” His heart melted to the sweet English accent of Sarah. “You know you will always be my princess. I assume you saw the news report?” “Yes, Rose called me this morning. You remember my friend Rose don’t you?” Dave replied, “Yes, I remember Edward’s, sorry, Lord Edward’s daughter very well. How are you, Sarah? I miss you.” She giggled, “I really miss you too. You just can’t resist a damsel in distress, can you?” Dave laughed, “No, I’m a sucker for beautiful women in trouble.” They talked for fifteen minutes and at one point Sarah asked Dave to come visit her that summer. He said it was wonderful to hear her invitation; but he had a very busy summer planned and didn’t know if he would have enough time. She laughed and said she would have to get her father to arrange something. They eventually said goodbye. Dave looked at his watch – three o’clock. He rolled over and went back to sleep. The phone rang again two hours later and both he and Darcy jumped again, but this time they didn’t panic quite as badly. Dave flipped open his phone; it was Rebecca. She wanted to make sure he was okay and he assured her he was fine. They talked for about fifteen minutes before he said goodbye. He had just rolled over when the phone rang again. Katherine was checking on him and he assured her he was unharmed. They talked for ten minutes before he again tried to go back to sleep. He had been sleeping only ten minutes when it rang a fourth time. Darcy growled, “Jesus, Dave, how many girlfriends do you have?’ Dave laughed before he answered, “Never too many my friend, never too many.” He answered the phone and was very happy to hear Jennifer’s voice. He cooed, “God, it sounds good to hear your voice. I really miss our talks.” She snickered, “So do I. I see you got back into your Superman outfit, again. You just can’t resist being the hero, can you?” He joked, “Well, coming from the Wonder Woman who flew to my rescue in her invisible airplane, I’ll take that as a compliment. I always thought Wonder Woman and Superman would make a great couple.” Jennifer laughed, “From what I hear from Jana, you’re having great fun in the south. She says you finally hooked up with Sheri – I wondered how long that would take.” Dave was surprised that Jennifer knew so much and asked, “When were you talking to Jana?” Jennifer chuckled, “We e-mail each other every day. We’ve become very good friends.” Dave didn’t have a reply for that so he simply said, “I miss you.” Jennifer turned serious, “I miss you, too.” They talked about their classes and a half hour quickly passed before they said their goodbyes. Dave didn’t even get back to sleep before the phone rang again. Darcy growled, “God damn, Dave! I’m tired.” Dave shrugged and answered the phone. He listened to the voice on the other end and then said to Darcy, “I guess if you’re tired, you won’t want to speak to Leanne.” Darcy grabbed the phone from his hand and Dave laughed as Darcy talked to his girlfriend this time. They talked for a half hour; when Darcy hung up, he was all smiles. “Leanne says she has a special reward for her hero.” Dave laughed, “I’m sure she does.” Dave lay back in bed and waited for the phone to ring. It was obvious that, as the time zones moved west, the phone calls would continue. Jana and Kyra were the next to call and Dave talked to them for a while before the phone rang again and it was Sheri. She was relieved to learn he was uninjured; of course, she then teased her Sasquatch and tried to work out a schedule for them to meet again. After the call from Sheri, Darcy looked over at Dave – they were both wide awake. Darcy explained, “I’m tired but I’ve never felt so good in my life. Knowing that we saved those three people feels unbelievable.” Dave agreed, “Yes, it does; but the most important thing is to remember who you are. Do you remember how you felt back in September when you couldn’t get on the team? Remember who you really are and don’t let yesterday change you for the worse. You are a great guy, Darcy, and I hope you don’t let the extra attention go to your head. Enjoy it and be proud but remember who Darcy Gregory really is and don’t change.” Darcy thought a lot about what Dave said. He lay in bed without speaking for a long time and finally asked, “Dave, if you see me acting like a conceited jerk, please tell me.” Dave replied, “I honestly don’t know if I can – it would probably destroy our friendship.” Darcy looked at him very seriously, “That can’t happen.” Dave simply nodded. They decided it was time to get up so both cleaned up then went to the restaurant for breakfast. The team soon joined them and before long they were all headed for the airport. As they arrived at the airport, Dave's phone rang again and he recognized Lynn's voice immediately; she was calling from the west coast of Canada. He had not heard from his favorite Asian in a long time and they spoke for twenty minutes. The flight back to WFU passed quickly. As they exited the plane, they were surrounded by local media. Both Dave and Darcy did interviews with television, radio, and news reporters. When they finally left the airport they were tired from all the attention. Coach Dawes had sent the rest of the team home in a van with all the golf equipment but he remained with Dave and Darcy. In the taxi he said, “I am very proud of you two young men. You handled this whole weekend like true gentlemen. I am proud to have you on my team.” They thanked the coach. The taxi dropped Darcy and Dave off at Palmer before it continued with Coach Dawes to the golf center. Dave and Darcy strolled casually into Palmer where they were surprised to see a small reception for them in the main lounge. Everyone wanted all the details and it was another hour before Dave and Darcy were able to be alone with their girlfriends. Colby congratulated Dave before he went to the library to study. Dave cuddled on his bed with both Jana and Kyra caressing and massaging his tired body. They made soft passionate love with an almost exhausted Dave, then simply relaxed and cuddled. Eventually, Dave was feeling very hungry so they went for a late snack in the dining hall. Jana and Kyra never left his side and he was happy to have their support. He walked them back to their rooms and kissed them goodnight. The March evenings were getting warmer every week. Practice on Tuesday morning went well but Dave noticed a huge difference in Alec’s attitude. He was not hitting the ball very well. As his frustration grew, so did his freely-expressed anger. After listening to Alec curse and swear for a half hour, Dave asked, “Can I speak to you in the golf center, Alec?” Alec slammed his club down and followed Dave inside. When they reached the locker room Dave asked, “What's going on, Alec? You seem really pissed off. You know it will take time to get back to your old form.” Alec glared at Dave, “What do you know about it? I've been working hard every day for over a week and I'm just getting worse. My strength is getting better but I have limited feeling in two of my fingers and I just can't get my timing right. I want it to be the way it was before the accident. I have waited so long to have success that, well - I just don't deserve this shit.” Dave agreed, “I know you don't deserve it – but what happened can't be undone. Let's just give it some more time. I'll help you any way I can.” Alec's reaction was the opposite of what Dave expected, “Fuck this shit. I don't need your damn help.” While Alec was taking off his golf shoes, Dave tried to talk to him but Alec only got angrier until he finally told Dave to mind his own fucking business and stormed out of the practice center. Dave was very upset as he returned to the practice tee – he had a hard time concentrating. He mentally debated what he should do. His golf schedule was crazy over the next five weeks and he was struggling to keep up with the extra class work. He didn’t have time to baby- sit Alec and he didn’t really know what he could do even if he wanted to help. He shook his head as he thought about the trouble his friend was having and he immediately told himself, “Alec is my friend and he desperately needs my support right now. I have to make his problem a priority. I will have to take the time to help, to find a way to help.” Darcy and the three women practiced very quietly nearby as they could see frustration on Dave's face. The women didn’t have another tournament for a week and a half but the men were scheduled for five tournaments over the next five weeks ending with the ACC tournament. With the victory in Las Vegas, the men’s team took over the number one ranking in the country and both Dave and Darcy were on the short list of nominations for the Ben Hogan Award for the top NCAA male golfer. The team was scheduled to fly to Houston on Friday morning for the Hall of Fame Invitational so Coach Dawes selected the same five players who won the tournament in Las Vegas. Morning practice on Wednesday and Thursday went well and Dave noticed that Leanne, Rachael, and Danielle were steadily gaining more confidence every day. Alec’s absence was very noticeable. Danielle had pulled Dave aside to congratulate him on his Las Vegas adventure and he sensed she was still very infatuated with him. He continued to be careful not to lead her on. He asked her how Leanne and Darcy were getting along and she explained that Leanne had really fallen hard for Darcy and that they spent most of their free time together. Dave was happy for them and he was also pleased to see Darcy was trying hard to remain his same old self – the extra attention from their heroics in Las Vegas didn’t seem to be changing him. Dave studied hard all week and didn’t have much private time to spend with Jana and Kyra but sharing two classes provided some mutual time. He phoned home on Wednesday and spoke to his parents about Alec. They clearly weren't sure what to tell him but both told him to be patient and supportive. His dad explained, “When you were injured in Vancouver you had a lot of support from your friends and family. It doesn’t sound like Alec has many people to fall back on so you have to be even stronger for him. Let me know if I can help in any way.” On Thursday night, Dave got a call from Shauna – she was very upset and wanted to talk. Dave invited her to his room. When she arrived, she was in tears and Dave hugged her supportively. Between bouts of sobbing, she explained that Alec’s mood had changed drastically in the last week. He had gotten angrier every day until he even flew off the handle at her that afternoon. She didn’t understand why he was getting so angry. He had told her she didn't know how he felt and that she should keep her opinions to herself. She was really upset and confused – she didn't want to fight so she simply left him in his dorm room. Dave thought about it for a minute and finally said, “I think he is very frightened about his new situation. He is afraid that he will never be able to golf competitively again. That creates two problems; he is worried he will lose his scholarship and he is worried that his dream of a future in golf is over.” Dave promised to talk with Alec as soon as he returned from Texas and walked her back to her room. The team flew to Houston the next morning and played a practice round at Redstone Golf Course. Dave liked the challenging Jacobson Hardy design course and shot a solid seventy-one. Darcy’s confidence continued to grow and he shot even par seventy-two. Will, Keith and Carl shot seventy-three, seventy-four, and seventy-seven, respectively. When they arrived at the hotel, Dave went for a swim before studying for several hours. He knew he had to work hard on his studies with six courses demanding his time. The next day the team ate breakfast early before going to the course. They were scheduled for two rounds and, thankfully, the weather was good. Dave played two very strong rounds of sixty-six and sixty-seven. Dave had noticed that the number of spectators had increased from previous rounds and one man in particular had followed him both rounds. Darcy shot sixty-nine and seventy while Keith was third on the team with sixty-six and seventy-five. Will and Carl each had a good round and a poor round but luckily for the team they were not in the same rounds. Will shot seventy-four and seventy-nine; Carl shot seventy-six and seventy-three. Dave was solidly in first place with a four stroke lead over UNLV star Ricky Morrison. The team had a seven stroke lead over Oklahoma State. The team returned to the hotel tired from the two rounds of golf and after a good meal, they all went to their rooms to rest. Dave phoned his father and told him about his two solid rounds of golf before he called the twins. In the final round, Dave played even better, shot sixty-four, and easily won by nine strokes. The same man had followed him, again and Dave wondered who he was. Darcy played very well shooting sixty-eight and finished third. Keith had a solid round of seventy-two while Carl and Will shot seventy-five and seventy- six respectively. Dave and Darcy’s strong play carried the team to a seven stroke victory over Oklahoma State. The team celebrated their fifth straight victory and Coach Dawes was really proud of his team. The team had really seemed to gel after the Las Vegas incident and all were supporting and encouraging each other. Dave and Keith were getting along reasonably well and although Dave knew he would never trust Keith again – he could at least carry on a conversation with him without getting a strong urge to just strangle him. Dave again noticed the man from the previous day had again followed him on every hole. After he had briefly celebrated with his teammates, Dave walked to the man and introduced himself, “Hi, I’m Dave MacDonald. Thank you for supporting me the last two days.” The man was surprised but returned the handshake, “I’m Bob Duff and it has been a real pleasure to watch you play. I’ve followed your career since your top-ten finish in the Canadian open two years ago and when I heard you were playing here in Houston I had to come out and watch. You have an incredible swing and your quiet confidence is truly amazing.” Dave blushed, “Thank you, sir. I appreciate the compliment. Have a nice a day.” “You have a great day too, Dave.” Dave turned and walked back to join his team in the celebration. Dave thought about his teammates and how their positions on the team had changed since the start of the year. Will had settled into his role on the team very nicely. He was a strong player and his early season over-confidence evened out and he played good solid golf. Darcy continued to grow more confident, he became the secondary leader on the team. Darcy’s bouncing and excitement from early in the season was replaced with calm support for his fellow players. The incident in Las Vegas seemed to give Darcy the confidence he had always lacked but he wasn’t cocky. Dave felt proud to watch Darcy’s development and Coach Dawes complimented Dave on his mentoring with Darcy. The team flew home Sunday evening and Dave spent a half hour talking with the twins before he went to sleep. The big news of the weekend was not the golf team victory but the basketball team’s loss. The second seed basketball Deacons had been upset by the West Virginia Mountaineers. Dave was surprised and disappointed for the basketball team that had had a very good season up to that point. Leanne told Dave that the women’s team held their qualifying round and she, Rachael, and Danielle had all qualified. Dave was very happy for them. At lunch on Monday, the cafeteria did their usual cheer for the golf team before Dave mentioned to the twins that he had spoken to his father after the final round the previous day. His parents were going to go to his tournament in Augusta, Georgia on April 2nd and April 3rd. The twins looked very disappointed before they confessed that they had also been planning a surprise for Dave and were going to go to the same tournament to cheer him on – but they would cancel if Dave’s parents were going to be there. Dave told them he would be happy to have them go as well. They then told him that they were still working on getting a vehicle from their parents for the trip and Dave suggested they simply drive his car. The girls resisted but Dave convinced them it would be okay. He was very excited about spending a weekend with them. Alec was noticeably absent from both the cafeteria and from the morning practice group. Dave was very concerned for him and found him on Monday night. The conversation was very brief as Alec basically told Dave to mind his own business and leave him alone. Dave tried to reason with Alec but all he seemed to do was make Alec angrier. Dave went to speak to Coach Dawes about Alec. Coach Dawes explained that Alec had also gotten angry at him and that he had no idea what to do for him. Dave finally thought to call Randy Manning who had been his physiotherapist after his shooting injury. Randy told Dave that he had seen reactions similar to what Dave had described in a number of cases and the final resolution in each case came only when the athlete eventually agreed to psychiatric or psychological therapy to deal with the loss. He suggested Dave talk to the WFU training staff because they would likely have qualified personnel either on- staff or otherwise available to them. Dave thanked him for his advice. On Tuesday, Dave went to speak to Mike Tonelli, the team weight trainer, who told Dave to see Melinda Henderson. She was a sports psychiatrist who Wake Forest kept on staff to deal with athletic problems. She often dealt with stress caused by severe injuries; usually those injuries occurred while doing sports. Her primary patients were the football and basketball players but she also helped with other athletes where needed. Dave met with Melinda and she explained that Alec was probably going through a set of different phases as he dealt with his disability. While there was no fixed sequence, many people dealing with a disability or severe loss often show signs of anger, denial, or depression before they get to the point where they accept and deal more rationally with the reality of their circumstances. The biggest challenge would be for Alec to reach the acceptance stage so they could begin to deal with the real problem. She was confident that he was in the anger stage now and that was the most difficult stage for all concerned. It could last a week or several months. Until Alec was ready to accept help, it would be almost impossible to start the healing process. Dave thanked her and they agreed to monitor Alec's progress very closely. The following week was filled with practice and studies. The women’s team left on Thursday for Gainesville, Florida and both Dave and Darcy wished them luck. The men’s team held a qualifier for their next tournament on Friday and Coach Dawes selected the same five golfers. Alec was still struggling and angrily quit after eight holes. He left the golf course before Dave finished and Dave never had a chance to talk to him. Dave was disappointed; he could tell Alec needed his support and friendship more than ever – but Alec wouldn't even talk to him. Darcy came to Dave’s room Friday evening and reported that the women were playing very well again and were in second place overall. Leanne was struggling with the greens but she was in twentieth place while Danielle had a wonderful first round of even par and was in fifth place. Darcy was worried about Leanne but Dave reminded him that everyone goes through stages of success and adjustment. She would find her putting stroke again. Dave practiced with the team on Saturday before suggesting to Alec that they spend the afternoon drinking beer and watching the NCAA Basketball Championships. Alec said curtly he already had other plans. Unsure where to turn and what he might do, Dave decided to drive to Alec’s house and speak to Patsy in person. Patsy was very glad to see Dave and briefly told him how she was very concerned for Alec and was upset because she herself didn't know what to do to help. Dave gave her Melinda’s phone number and suggested she call her. Patsy thanked him and begged him to keep an eye out for her son. Dave promised he would. That evening Dave and the twins went to a bar. They had a relaxing evening before returning to the dorm. Dave and the twins spent some time together but without a room available it was mostly filled with talking about the trip to Augusta the following weekend. Dave went to bed just before midnight. The team van left early in the morning for Charleston, SC. Dave struggled in the practice round – he couldn’t get a quick feel for the greens. He shot two over par seventy-three. Darcy had a solid round of even par as did Keith. Will played well shooting seventy-two while Carl shot seventy-six. Dave swam for a half hour that evening and he thought about Alec before he eventually switched to thinking about the upcoming trip to Augusta. He was really looking forward to seeing his parents and spending a couple nights with the twins. He hoped Coach Dawes had a similar attitude as had Coach Lloyd and didn’t mind players sleeping in different rooms. As he lay in bed trying to get to sleep, he thought about the twins; he was very happy he had met them. When he came to Wake Forest he had expected to study hard and practice even harder but he never imagined that he would meet anyone as special as the twins. Darcy explained that he called Leanne and the women’s team finished in second and Danielle finished sixth. Coach Lloyd was very pleased with all of their play. The next day was another struggle for Dave. He hit the ball well but his putting continued to be a problem. He was not happy with rounds of seventy-two and seventy-three. Darcy was low man on the team with two rounds of sixty-nine. Will was very pleased with seventy-one and sixty-eight but Keith and Carl both struggled. Keith shot rounds of seventy-five and seventy-nine while Carl was seventy-nine and eighty. The final round was a very poor round for Dave – his putting woes carried over to his ball striking and he shot the worst tournament round for the entire year with a seventy-five. Darcy had another solid round of seventy and finished second overall, while Will shot seventy-one and finished third. Keith and Carl struggled again with rounds of seventy-five and seventy-eight respectively. The team finished third, one stroke behind Augusta State and Kentucky. Dave was very disappointed in his play. Right after the tournament, the team drove back to Wake Forest and arrived late Tuesday night. Dave was up early the next morning; still frustrated with his poor performance. He worked very hard on his game on Wednesday and Thursday – he wanted to make sure he was ready for Augusta. The week passed quickly; Alec's play and attitude hadn't improved any and he still wouldn't talk to Dave. The team left early Friday for Augusta and Dave was anxious to play again and put in a redeeming performance. He was very intent when he arrived at the golf course and spent most of his practice time on the putting green. He was rolling the ball much better and slowly regained confidence in his putter. His practice round went well and he was pleased with his two under par seventy. When the team arrived at the hotel, Dave immediately checked to see if either his parents or the twins had arrived. He was pleased to find out both had arrived; but the team had a scheduled meal, so he had to go to the restaurant with his teammates. While he dropped his bags off at his room, he called both his parent’s and the twins’ room but didn’t get any answer so he went to the restaurant with Darcy. As soon as he walked into the restaurant he saw his parents sitting with Jana and Kyra. They were talking animatedly and Dave immediately walked to them. He walked directly to his parents and shook his father’s hand before his mother stood and gave him a loving hug. He told them he missed them both very much. He then moved to Jana and Kyra and gave each a welcoming kiss before he asked, “So, how did you meet my parents?” Before either girl could answer his father said, “I saw them at the pool and remembered them from your first day at Wake Forest. You hadn’t told us they were going to be here but we assumed they were here to watch you golf, so I introduced myself and your mother. We’ve spent most of the afternoon together.” Dave smiled before he looked over at his team which was sitting down to eat. He explained, “I have to eat with the team but I’ll find you after dinner.” Both his parents and girlfriends nodded agreement and returned to their intense conversation. After dinner, Dave sat with his parents and the twins who had waited in the dining room for him. His father suggested they go to his room so they could talk more comfortably. Dave and the twins agreed and followed his parents out of the restaurant. They spent the evening in Dave’s parents’ room. They brought Dave up to date on the happenings on QAI. His sisters were both doing well in school and each had broken up with their previous boyfriends. Beth was seeing a new guy but Julie was still happily single. The Missiles were struggling and a playoff position was looking unlikely. John was playing solid hockey but the inexperienced defense was a challenge. Both his parents’ jobs were going well and they were looking forward to the summer. Dave, Jana, and Kyra said goodnight to his parents just after ten o’clock and went back to the girls’ room. Dave stopped briefly at his room and got some clothes; Darcy explained that he would cover for him. As soon as Dave walked through the door of the girls’ room, Jana moved into his arms and kissed him passionately. She whispered, “Kyra and I have been looking forward to this weekend for weeks.” She pulled his shirt over his head and he pulled her shirt over her head. They began kissing again as he felt Kyra move to their side. He broke the kiss with Jana and as he turned his head, Kyra’s sensual lips quickly met his. The kiss was as steamy as usual and Dave felt his slowly hardening member quickly lurch to full size. Kyra’s passion was still overwhelming after five months. Dave pulled Kyra’s top over her head as Jana unfastened his shorts and pulled them down with his boxers. He stepped out of them happily naked as Jana deftly sucked his hardness into her mouth. Dave removed Kyra’s bra and massaged her breasts with one hand as he unfastened her skirt with the other. Her skirt pooled around her ankles before she stepped out of it and kicked it aside. Dave’s tongue was still dueling with Kyra’s tongue as he slid his hand inside her thong panties – she was already wet with anticipation. He teased her clit briefly before he eased a digit deep inside her wetness – she moaned softly. Kyra pulled away from him and dropped to her knees beside her twin. They took turns sucking his rock-hard shaft and he stared down at them in wonder – how had he been lucky enough to befriend these two incredible women? His mind quickly clouded over with excitement as his orgasm grew very strong until he felt his manhood burst; his release gushed his seed into the two raven-haired beauties’ mouths. His eyes were closed but he felt Kyra’s sucking mouth and Jana’s teasing tongue alternate as they cleaned up everything he had emitted. They then kissed and shared his offering. He eventually looked down at them; still bewildered at how much they loved his seed. “I'm a lucky, lucky man,” he thought. When he recovered, they moved to the bed. He finished undressing both sisters before they made passionate love for over two hours. They tried every position imaginable without using any toys. As Dave lay in bed recovering from his third orgasm he glanced at the clock. It was almost one o’clock and he knew he would be tired in the morning. Happy but tired. The phone rang at six o’clock and he quickly rolled out of bed and showered before meeting Darcy at their room. Darcy could see his friend was still tired looking and he teased, “Got enough energy left for two rounds of golf today?” Dave shrugged as he smiled. “I’m not sure – but after my poor performance last week, I better damn well find the energy.” They met the team in the restaurant and, after a quick meal, the whole team went to the course. Dave hit balls and putted until it was time to play. He was the last player out on his team and he wished each teammate ‘good luck’ before they teed off. Dave played a solid round in the morning and he really enjoyed having his parents and the twins following him. He knew the sisters didn’t know much about golf and he noticed his father seemed to be explaining some of the rules to them. Dave finished with a solid sixty-nine; on the very windy course, it was a great score. Darcy shot seventy-three while Will shot seventy-five. Keith and Carl both struggled and shot seventy-eight and eight-one respectively. After the first round Dave was in first place and Darcy was tied for sixth. The team was in first place by three strokes. Dave ate with the team but after the meal he sat with his parents and the twins. He was very tired and he knew the afternoon round would be a struggle. The rest of the team went to warm up but Dave wanted to rest. His parents could tell he was tired and he expected they might comment on his poor decision to allow the twins to wear him out – but they never said a word. Fifteen minutes before his tee time he went to the practice range and loosened up briefly. As he suspected, he got more tired as the afternoon round progressed. Luckily, he made several early birdies and managed to survive the last five holes to salvage an even-par seventy-two. He was disappointed in his round; but his results, compared to the rest of the field, were very acceptable. Only two golfers shot under par in the afternoon and both had been over par in the morning round. The end result was that Dave still held a two stroke lead after two rounds. Darcy shot another seventy-three but the rest of the team also struggled. Keith shot seventy-six while Carl shot seventy-nine leaving Will, the high man with eighty-one. The team fell two strokes behind the host Augusta State team. The WFU team went out for dinner before returning to the hotel. Dave went directly to the twins’ room but they weren’t there. He then went to his parents’ room and they were all there talking. Dave walked into the room and they all congratulated him for leading the tournament. The twins thought he had played wonderful but he knew his father was very aware of his fatigue. Dave simply said, “I know I could have played better. I ran out of steam in the afternoon.” His father nodded but the twins kissed him. He sat with his parents for an hour before he explained that he was very tired and was going to bed. It was only nine o’clock but his father nodded his support. The twins said their goodbyes and followed Dave to their room. When he entered the room he sadly announced that he was really tired and he didn’t know how much he could offer the sisters. They kissed him lovingly and told him they could find ways to amuse themselves. He pulled off his clothes and crawled into one of the two double beds in the room. As his eye lids grew heavy, he watched the twins slowly strip each other naked. He felt his manhood get hard with excitement as he watched Kyra push Jana onto the other bed and sensually and teasingly move between her legs. Jana’s moans of excitement kept Dave from falling asleep as he happily stroked his raging hard-on. Jana was moaning and groaning in pleasure as Kyra brought her to a loud orgasm then continued her licking and teasing. Dave watched as Jana’s eyes cloud over with pleasure and he knew he had to get involved in the fun. He didn’t know how much energy he had but his excitement drove him out of the bed. Kyra briefly smiled at him as he moved behind her on the other bed. As she continued to lick and finger her sister, Dave slipped his throbbing meat into her simmering box. She moaned into Jana’s wet slit as Dave gently moved his entire shaft deep inside her. He moved his hands to her hips and started a long slow thrusting motion. Kyra’s gripping snatch started to milk his shaft and when she started to push back to meet his thrusting hips, he knew he wouldn’t last very long. He steadily increased the pace of his thrusting and Kyra began moaning and gasping as her excitement built. Dave was driving into her at a very fast pace and he noticed that she was no longer licking or teasing Jana as her excitement peaked quickly. Dave held off his orgasm as long as he could and, just before he was about to blow, Kyra cried out as her orgasm crested and her gripping snatch grabbed down even harder around his girth. It was too much for him and he erupted, sending his hot seed deep inside Kyra’s shaking body. As the last of his shots of white rope streamed inside Kyra’s wet love-hole he rolled onto the bed, exhausted. He briefly remembered Jana diving between Kyra’s legs to gobble up his deposit but he was too tired to even think about it as his closed his eyes and he faded into dreamland. The next sound he heard was the ringing phone at seven o’clock. Kyra picked it up then hung up without replying to the wakeup call. Dave’s hand was gently holding Jana’s breast as he spooned her back. Kyra rolled back over after answering the phone and spooned Dave’s back. He thought how much he loved being the meat in the twins’ sandwich; he snickered to himself as he visualized that it was a whole-wheat sandwich. He chuckled and Kyra asked what he was snickering about. He explained, “It’s a good thing I have to share a room with Colby because if I shared a room with you two, I would never have enough energy to break par. I love being with you but you two are too much woman for me.” Jana rolled over and said, “Does that mean we could invite another man to join us?” The frightened look on Dave’s face told her that was not what he meant and she laughed, “I’m only teasing you, Dave. You’re more than enough man for both of us.” Dave relaxed in their arms for a few minutes before he got up for a shower. They asked to join him and he agreed as long as they only cleaned each other – he didn’t have time to get into any type of lovemaking session. He was quickly cleaned by both girls before he left them in the shower and went to meet Darcy. He felt very well rested and he was ready for the final round. The weather was even worse than the previous day with a steady drizzle coming down. Dave prayed the round would not be cancelled because he wanted to win the team title. They were in the last groups to play so they had time to eat a relaxing breakfast before going to the course. They arrived at the course at eight-thirty and, after a good practice session, they went to the first tee. Dave pulled all his teammates together to give a little pep talk. All four listened to him intently as he told them to dig deep and focus hard on their game. Hit fairways and greens and let the birdies take care of themselves. His four teammates all teed off before him. He wished each of them luck as they walked away from the first tee. When it was finally his time to hit, he drove the ball perfectly and started with a birdie. The drizzle changed to steady rain as Dave made the turn from the front nine to the back. He was very pleased with his four under par front but his grips were getting wet as were three of the four towels he had started with. The back nine got steadily more difficult as the steady rain became heavy rain. By the time Dave reached the seventeenth hole, he was soaked and really struggling to keep a good grip on his clubs. His four under par had slipped to two under par but Dave bore down and made a good par on seventeen. He stood on the last hole focused and hit a solid drive down the middle. It wasn’t a long booming drive but, with the wet conditions, length was less important than control. Dave made par on the final hole for a very hard fought seventy and he was very happy with his score. His teammates met him behind the green; all five of them looked like drowned rats – soaked right to the skin and wet hair stuck down flat. They walked to the scoreboard and they all cheered loudly as the final scores showed they had beaten Augusta State by ten strokes. Dave had won the individual title by six strokes and was the only golfer to break par for the tournament. Darcy’s final round of seventy-three gave him fourth place while Will’s final round of seventy-two tied him with Keith, who shot seventy-four, for twenty-first place. Carl’s final round of seventy-five gave him a fortieth place finish. The coach told the team he was very proud of them and that he was doubly impressed that they had had five of the top eight scores in the final round. Dave kissed the twins goodbye before the reception as they left for Wake Forest. He then spent ten minutes with his parents before they left for Florida to continue their vacation. The meal and the awards ceremonies passed quickly and Dave did several interviews before the team left for Wake Forest. Dave was proud of himself and his whole team who really showed character in the final round to win the team title handily. Dave arrived at the dorm late and went straight to bed. In the morning, the girls from the women’s team told him they had another fantastic weekend and won the tournament. Danielle had another top-five finish and Leanne and Rachael both finished in the top ten. Dave congratulated them. Dave studied hard every evening as he tried to catch up on his studies. Alec continued to struggle and his anger somehow got even worse. He and Dave had a huge fight on Wednesday after team practice. Dave promised himself he would spend more time with Alec the next week. The team was leaving early on Thursday for their practice round at Devil’s Ridge Golf Course in Cary, NC. The course was only two hours from Wake Forest, just south of Durham. The tournament went well for Wake Forest who won by four strokes in a rain- shortened tournament. Dave shot sixty-two in the opening round on Friday before the heavens opened just after noon and canceled the afternoon round. Darcy had an off day and shot seventy-four while both Keith and Will played well and shot sixty-eight and seventy respectively. Carl tied Will with a seventy. On Saturday, Dave shot another great round of sixty-four and won the individual title by four strokes. Darcy followed his first round with seventy-two while Keith and Will shot sixty-nine and sixty-seven respectively to finish tied for eighth. Carl had a sold round of seventy-three to tie for twentieth. Darcy finished thirty-third. The highlight of the weekend for Dave was having Danielle, Rachael, the twins and his parents all watching. His parents had stopped in on their return drive from Florida. The twins went home for the weekend and drove the short distance to the course each day. Leanne, Danielle, and Rachael drove down Saturday morning to watch the final round. The twins and the three women golfers left the course right after the tournament. Dave’s parents stayed for the awards ceremonies and Dave spent fifteen minutes with them before they left for QAI. His mother asked what his relationship with Danielle was and he described how he had helped her with her golf and that they had become good friends. His mother warned him to be careful because she could see how much Danielle admired him. He told his mother that he knew she was infatuated with him and that he was being very careful with her feelings. He hugged his parents and told them he loved them before they left. The drive back to Wake Forest passed quickly as the team celebrated another victory. The Atlantic Coast Conference Championships were the following weekend and the team was psyched and ready for their conference tournament. Dave spent Sunday studying but took a break to spend some time with the twins. Jana told Dave how much they enjoyed watching him play and they were both proud of him for his two victories. When Colby went to the library to study, they made love in Dave’s bed. On Monday the dining hall made their usual cheer at lunch. Shauna took Dave aside after lunch and explained that she and Alec had a huge fight on the weekend and they broke up. She cried as she told Dave how Alec accused her of just being with him because he was a star on the golf team and that she should go find another athlete to hang off. She was very upset by Alec's words but Dave had earlier warned her that Alec would likely explode on her as he had already done with him. Dave suggested she go see Melinda. She promised she would. Dave promised he would try to talk to Alec again. That evening, Dave went to Alec's room. Alec didn't want to talk to him but Dave insisted. Alec started to get verbally abusive with Dave but Dave calmly said, “Alec, I'm your friend and I will always be your friend and I will always be here for you. I know you broke up with Shauna and that is too bad because she truly loves you. You can say whatever you want to me but I will not abandon you. I will be here when you are ready to deal with your disability.” Alec swore, “I don't have a fucking disability. I'm not a cripple - I can deal with this.” Dave replied, “Alec, I am sure we can improve your golf game significantly but first you have to acknowledge that you do have a disability. I wish it weren't true but it is - that accident really fucked up your hand. Losing your golf really sucks and is messing with your head, but if you lose Shauna that would be a real tragedy” Alec got very quiet and he stared into Dave's eyes. Dave could see tears forming in his friend’s eyes. Alec slowly broke down and began crying, “I’m fucked – my game is shot, I’ve pissed off my best friend and Shauna… What am I going to do?” “Alec, I’m still here for you – and so are Shauna and your mother. We will do everything we can to help you but you will need to get help from someone qualified to deal with these kinds of problems. I’ve talked to Coach Dawes and he has requested the help of the athletic department’s psychiatrist. I think she can help you deal with your changes.” Alec looked terrified, “Do you think I need a shrink?” Dave put his arm around him, “She has experience with athletic injuries, and I think she can help. I spoke to her. She is very knowledgeable.” Alec nodded as he agreed to see her, “Do you think Shauna will ever talk to me again?” “Alec, she loves you very much. If you are willing to get help, I am positive she will push me out of the way to be at your side.” Alec smiled as he thought about Shauna, “She’s pretty special, isn’t she?” Dave nodded, “She’s spectacular.” Dave and Alec talked for a few more minutes before Dave left. He called Shauna and Patsy as soon as he was out of Alec’s residence and they were both relieved to hear Alec had agreed to see Melinda. Dave slept fitfully that night as he worried about his friend. Alec met Dave outside his second morning class and he explained, “I went to see Melinda this morning. We had a long talk and we have booked several more appointments. Thanks for suggesting I see her – she seems to understand how I feel.” Dave hugged his friend. Several students looked at them strangely but Dave didn’t care. They went to lunch together for the first time in several weeks. After lunch Alec pulled Dave aside, “I’m going to go see Shauna and apologize. Do you really think she will forgive me? I said some awful things.” Dave nodded, “Definitely!” The rest of week went much better. Alec and Shauna re-joined the lunch crowd and Dave could see their relationship beginning to heal. As for golf, the group continued their morning practices and Dave noticed that Darcy was working even harder on his game during the week as were the three women. They also had their ACC Championships that weekend and were obviously working intently to get ready. Both teams left on Thursday for their respective practice rounds and they wished each other luck. Dave and Darcy’s practice rounds went really well as they shot seventy and seventy-one respectively. Keith, Will, and Carl didn’t play quite as well with rounds of seventy-five, seventy-seven, and seventy-nine respectively. The team ate dinner together before going to bed for a good night rest. Dave was more relaxed at the ACC Championships then he had been in over a month. Alec’s new outlook helped Dave focus more on his golf game and it showed in his score. He won the individual title by five strokes and helped Wake Forest win the ACC Championship. Darcy had a strong tournament and finished fifth. Keith and Will finished tenth and eleventh respectively while Carl finished thirty- eighth. Coach Dawes spoke to them after the victory and reminded them that the goal for this year was the NCAA title. With no tournaments for a month, he told them to study hard but practice hard as well. When Dave and Darcy got back to the dorm on Sunday evening, they learned that the girl’s team also won their ACC Championship and Leanne won the individual title. She was so happy that Dave thought she would squeeze him to death when she hugged him. Danielle and Rachael also finished in the top ten and both gave Dave very passionate hugs. They thanked him repeatedly and he tried to convince them that it was more their hard work than his assistance but they knew better. Keith hosted a Championship party which both the men’s and women’s teams attended. Dave invited the twins and they all had a good time. Some had more good times than others. Dave was actually fairly drunk when Jana and Kyra escorted him back to Palmer – with some difficulty they tucked him into bed before going to their rooms.
