Mason."Gentlemen, I think the game is about to start. Shall we?” My father said, getting on his feet.I stood up reluctantly, still placing my hands on the table. My father walked away and Roosevelt joined him immediately.My mind hitched to stop Leo for an unknown reason. I don't know why, maybe to probably apologise since he did not accept my apology conceivably.But what if he just downright turns me down? That would mean I'm just shameless and whatever my father said about me was true.I quietly joined them and walked behind Leo. The ground was the only place my eyes could rest and I shuffled mindlessly.Thankfully I paused on my steps in time because I almost bumped into Leo. I didn't realise he had stopped walking."Are you alright?” Leo said, hurling his body around to face me. " I'm okay? Why did you ask?” I snorted timidly."Is everything alright there Leo?” Roosevelt shrieked."Will join you soon,” Leo retorted.I wondered if l was intruding. Are they on a date or something
Mason.The centrepiece had a wooded lot with all numbers on it. I sat alone on the two-seater couch. Leo and Roosevelt sat in the next two-seater by the right side.My father didn't come with us which meant he would be watching from afar. I sat nervously and crossed my legs together.I felt heat erupt from my body as it did when my father talked down to me earlier. I don't know why my father wants me to bid for this malignant weapon, he didn't even tell me a specific amount to deal off on.I let my eyes drift slowly in Leo's direction. He seemed so unbothered. I didn't miss when Roosevelt flicked some stray hair off Leo's face.Is Roosevelt so insecure that he thinks if he doesn't touch Leo for a minute someone would steal Leo away from him?Tch, I'm sure my father will soon notice them. They are the type he hates the most, gay people.The faint light went dimmer, the door by the side clicked open and an uncountable number of people came inside. I barely recognised a few of them.Mr V
Leo.The light on the stage wholly went off and a brighter light lit up the entire room.The murmurs and chatting increased in the room. I glance randomly at how the humans flocked around Mason and how uncomfortable he felt. He was nudging uneasily on his seat as he was surrounded.I chuckled at his nervous polite face, he is so easy to read."Shall we go back, Alpha?" Roosevelt said.I know I had no intention of leaving in a hurry. Well, at least until Mason leaves first.I didn't say a word to Roosevelt and kept gazing at Mason. I'm worried about him. I wish he didn't have to buy the landmines. From what I have seen today I wish he could defend himself more often.Although his relationship with his father is quite an eye-sore, I don't believe any father will hate his offspring. He is the one to love Mason before anyone else, l don't understand what their issue is and I hope they settle it before they punch each other in the face.It is wrong to go against an Elder, l didn't miss his
Mason.I tossed the bidding lot to the table gasping for breath.I won! But that won't make my father look at me any different. Although the bidding went rather too easy now that I think about it.Leo obviously gave up because Roosevelt asked him to. The dark murky gang didn't talk much like they had other ulterior motives, did l win too easily or on purpose?I let out a sharp breath apprehensively, l feel so uneasy.As if the bidders didn't bid much, as if l was the one putting up a show.My eyes picked up on Mr Vinci, “Hi, Mr Vinci,” l greeted, not getting up from my seat."Congratulations on getting that, you did well,” He praised me calmly and walked out. l bowed slightly and respectfully to his nice words.Phew!Ruby, the daughter of A.E Automobiles walked up to my seat with two other unknown girls and sat on my seat."Long time no see, Mason,” Ruby greeted me."Yeah, quite a long time,” I retorted awkwardly."I didn't expect to see you here. Well, I guess both our fathers have a
Mason."I didn't call you here to bargain with you though. I only want to inform you I will forward double of the money to your account, don't worry.”"What do you mean, Father? You asked if l was a joke. But you are clearly the one taking me for a joke. You made me spend hours debating on that, just so l could buy it and then you take it and sell it to the so-called real buyer? You are even more ridiculous than l am."“Now I'm questioning myself yet again how on earth l have you as a son. You don't know the term business at all and l fear for you, just go back home. I think l have made myself clear enough.”"I'm sorry to disappoint you again, but I won't sell it back to you. l have my own plans with it.""You don't have a choice, Mason. Run back home like a mother to your child.""I can be anything I want as long as my child is happy with me. It's totally worth it and for this, I'm going to take the landmines home with me.""You won't dare do that, the warehouse is mine and I alone ca
Mason.I placed the access card on the door frequency lawn and stepped inside, the living room was empty.I kept the first aid box on the centrepiece and my eyes landed on Andrew's cellphone and a remote beside it.I picked it up and tapped on it and I realised it was only my missed calls he had on his screen. My eyes quickly rested on the door as it beeped open at that moment."Hi,” Andrew boomed, he was dressed casually in a fitted white t-shirt and blue jeans which complemented his branded black slides. He had a jet-coloured suitcase in his right hand. “Hi,” I replied and quickly dropped his phone back on the table in a flash."What happened to your hand?” He asked worriedly, throwing the suitcase that seemed light onto the sofa."It's nothing, where have you been?" I taunted, making my way to the kitchen to get a glass of water."Stepped out to get extra luggage. Stayed only for two days and it seemed like my clothes didn't fit, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting.""You don't have
Leo.We drove into the Pack's driveway. I got down and threw the car key to the one guard that patrolled the area.I went on my steps but I noticed Roosevelt was sluggish and lost in thought.“Are you alright?" I inquired, waiting for him. I propped my hands in my pocket glaring carefully at him, “Are you still worried about those weapons?""I can not help but think about it, Alpha. What happens if we don't lay our hands on it and protect it? Or is that the reason you are having lunch with Mr Aliens's son?"I chuckled, nodding my head unbelievably and continued on my steps. I waved at the guards who bowed slowly as I walked through the main entrance."Why are you not answering, Alpha?""Do you want me that bad? Are you worried about the weapon or are you worried about my lunch with him?" I teased."When did you start mingling with humans anyway? I saw you in a different light today and the more reason I should want you.""Mason is my friend, a good special friend,” I said, my head reel
Leo.My eyes slowly parted to the faint tip-toeing steps; I shut them back instantly as the steps were close to me. Promptly I had a sensation of what felt like someone's arm coming to my neck.I quickly had the direction in my ear with a vague current and clamp and abruptly held the hand coming in my direction." Ouch, that hurts,” Roosevelt's honeyed yet boisterous voice whispered. I let out a heavy sigh and opened my eyes. I let go of his hand and wondered why he was here. I realised I had indeed fallen asleep on the sofa. I stretched to stand up and ended up kicking Auden.Did he fall asleep here too?I gazed at him cavernously brushing my hair backwards. Did he sit on the cold ground resting his head on my leg?Wait! How come I didn't feel that or remember when that happened?"That really hurt, Alpha,” Auden complained.I quietly got on my feet as he finally scrambled away. l headed to my room taking off my shirt, l glanced at the electronic clock by the rustic wood television
