Bryan Holding

Mason caught sight of hair that seemed to be blonde with a black and some brown tint in it, The face became its reveal as the body turned and Mason's throat itched with anticipation as the mysterious blond guy rose full length from the chair ,turning to look at Lisa before he finally realised he was not alone, it wasn't until he turned fully to see Mason and Mary standing right behind the latter did Mason notice the tattoo he had seen he had seen the first day he saw his sister get off the power bike . Mason took in every detail of the guy like he did every guy he met although this was not to check the other out but an evaluation test of who the hell the human was. Dressed in jean trousers and sleeveless jean jacket under which there was a kind of faded back t shirt, chains dangled from both his jean trousers and his neck, glittering slightly, Mason noticed the gold one earring next then finally to the Jordan sneakers that was starting to peel off ,all of these belonged to a face which might have appeared as handsome to Mason if only this was not someone he was trying hard to get rid of, it was apparent he worked out from his physique and of course Mason would have loved to compliment him if he was someone else but gladly, he wasn't . He seemed to be taller but not as broad ,Mason noted and a small occurred to him that he could definitely fight against this guy and win if need be.

Mason had a hard time maintaining whatever patience he had left as the irritating scene of the guy chewing gum loudly echoed in the door.. throughout all this while , however, Lisa remained silent watching for her brother's actions

"Nice to meet you sir, I am Bryan Holding" The guy said as he walked closer to where Lisa's over protective brother stood

Bryan said offering his hand which was full of scars to the man whom he had heard so much about with a smile which appeared more of a smirk to Mason ,standing there speechless as the scene which wax enfolding in front of him

" sir?" It was Mary calling the attention of her boss and that seemed to be effective as Mason snapped out of whatever thought of train he was in ,he was angry but he didn't know just how much damage he would do if he would try to express it so instead he looked at the scared hand which was being offered to him with a glare before looking at its owner

His sister shifted where she was sitting uneasily, the tension in the room was so thick it could be felt and the silence was so deafening that if a pin drop, its sound will ring throughout the room

With a slight quiver ,as anger radiated throughout his body, Mason tried as much as possible to maintain his composure as he said as calmly as he could looking straight at the man in front of him, eye to eye, the other didn't seem to blink and his expression appeared so mockingly to Mason and a smirk that Mason just really wants to slap off

" Bryan ,you say? Hopefully, I won't have to repeat myself. Get the fucking hell out of my house" Mason dragged out ,strengthening each word with an expression to stress his emphasis. Mason concluded with his hand pointing to the door as if to give directions to the boy

However, Bryan just chuckled slightly much to Mason's annoyance as he sad

" Told you I was gonna win this bet, Lisa. you know?" he asked as he snapped the gum in his mouth around and smirked before strutting to put stuff which belonged to him in a bag that is assumed to belong to him

" Sorry about this, B" Lisa finally said a sentence since her brother came in and all eyes turned to look at her. Mary seemed to shake her head while her older brother glared at her and Bryan smiled at her which made him earn the hottest glare from Mason. However unfortunately, his sister was not having it as she had he eyes fixated on Bryan who smirked at her ignoring Mason

" Its cool. See you later?" he asked and Lisa smiled back

" definitely. Give me a call" she smiled in a weird way that seemed to Mason that he didn't know who the girl in the room with him was anymore. The conversations and looks exchange went on like Mason presence in the room or Mary being at the door didn't exist

Strapping his bag to his back, with a black helmet in his hand, Bryan walked past Mason and in the process bumped shoulders slightly with him much to Mason's surprise, without looking back ,Bryan called out

"See you around, Mr Carlton"

At the door ,he sent Mary a smile

" Thanks for the drink. It was really refreshing " he said in gratitude before finally stepping out leaving Lisa and her brother alone, the wind blew into the room with a whistle as if to make peace while silence took its seat on the throne. Neither of the siblings uttered a word as Mary cleared her throat and said

" I will bring tea and snacks" she said and left .

" Mason…."

" Lisa"

They both tried to talk at the same time then went silent again just to let the other talk

" Go ahead" Mason sighed out his anger as he took a seat on his sister's bed couch

" Mason, I am not going to stop seeing Bryan even if you say so" Lisa said firmly and Mason just smiled slightly

" I really don't want to hear that but I am willing to hear you out, by the way . before anything else ,what exactly do you know about this guy" He asked ,standing up from where he sat

"He is a good guy" Lisa immediately replied

" I guess so but go through that first then come tell me again" Mason said to his sister who was looking a bit confused until her brother threw a document on the bed before proceeding to leave the door. At the door, he looked back and said

" Just know, I am only looking out for you. i will be waiting downstairs. Let's have dinner" he said and closed the door behind him, stepping out into the hallway.

Lisa reached for the document.
