Chapter 28 | Mason

I'm sorry the upload is later then usual! I had my G2 test today which for those who don't know is your license and I was soooo nervous, but we passed! 🙌
Here's the update, enjoy!

I watch Will from the other side of the bar. His head is back to being buried in his notes and he looks ridiculous sat like that, in a place like this.

I hand the guy in front of me a beer before wiping the counter and tossing the towel over my shoulder, crossing my arms, and leaning against the bar to watch Will.

Gary chuckles next to me making me roll my eyes. "What?"

He shrugs. "Nothing"

I give him a look, annoyed with his antics tonight. "Tell me"

He shakes his head. "Whose Will?"

I blink looking at the other end of the bar and nod in Will's direction. "That's Will"

Gary rolls his eyes "I know that idiot, I mean to you who is he?"

I grunt not wanting to talk about it. There isn't an easy honest answer to that question. So instead I tell him the truth. 

"Gage's brother"

He lifts a brow looking genuinely surprised "That's Gage's brother?" 

I nod "Yeah"

He makes a face. "Wow they're nothing alike"

I shrug not bothering to respond and he continues.

"So why is Gage's brother here?" 

I scoff "Do you want me to kick him out?"

Gary rolls his eyes.

"Don't be an ass, he's fine. I'm just wondering why you have Gage's brother here at the bar when he's clearly not here to have a good time and 15 minutes ago you told him not to leave"

I grunt at that, Gary was obviously paying more attention than I thought.

"There's an asshole at his house and his best friend was busy"

Gary doesn't look convinced. 

"An asshole? The kids never been around someone with an attitude before?"

I huff getting tired of this stupid game of 20 questions.

"An asshole who slapped him because he gets his rocks off treating Will like he's his bitch"

I turn away from Gary after the words leave my mouth and focus on stacking glasses instead. Talking about the way Tony treats Will just pisses me off. Will doesn't deserve his shit and it takes a lot of self-restraint to sit back and do nothing. 

Gary sucks in a breath "Gage is friends with someone who treats his brother like that?"

I groan "He doesn't know, Will won't tell him"

Gary nods looking at Will.

"You don't do anything?" I scoff annoyed he believes even for a second I wouldn't defend Will if I could. 

"Trust me it's a hard fucking battle every day"

Gary lifts a brow as if not understanding and I roll my eyes.

 "Will doesn't want me to"

Gary chuckles. "Ahhhh"

I think he's done with this conversation, but instead, he smirks nodding toward Will.

"You ever keep his bed warm?"

I glare and don't bother responding. Instead, I just walk to the back room; annoyed.
