Chapter 10: Ten Repeating Rules

I am not surprised when at 8:15 exactly the next morning all the boys come tumbling into my apartment, which appears as if it is ever growing smaller by the day. I am already checking my mail as I sit at my desk drinking coffee as if no one is around. I'm still in my oversized sweat shirt and flannel pajama pants to ward off the early morning chill as I sit lounging at my desk.

"Yo Meg! Can we get some breakfast?" questions Brady.

I turn calmly toward him and raise my eyebrow as if asking him the question, 'are you serious?'

The bright smile on his face fades and he looks away feeling slightly uncomfortable. I turn my head back to the screen and continue what I am doing. The entire living room is drenched in an uncomfortable silence, out of the corer of my eye I can see the boys looking at one another stiffly.

The boys meander into the TV area and sit on the sofas talking quietly among themselves. A few minutes later there is a pounding on the door and I quickly get up and head into my room. There is only one other person who could possibly be coming over and I really didn't want to see him. Besides I need to start getting ready for my coffee date with Calvin.

Twenty minutes later I come out of my bedroom with the intention of leaving for my date. I have to admit I looked pretty good in a pair of tight fitting jeans, a white loose fitting blouse with a mauve lacy cami underneath it. A pair of dark boot and jewelry top off my outfit. My makeup is done with a brown looking smoky eye to bring out the blue in my eyes and a deep berry lip. I look good.

Paul is out in the living room joking around with the guys when I come out.

"Aww babe, you didn't have to get all dressed up for me!" he says with a charming smile.

I would have snorted if it is in my nature to do so.

"It's not for you," I say coolly.

"Then who is it for?" he practically growls.

"His name is Calvin; I'm meeting him for coffee in ten minutes."

I could already see the anger rising in his eyes and the uncertainty in the others.

"Wow… You really get around don't you? First with that Tony guy… now with Calvin..."

I narrow my eyes, "Are you trying to insinuate something?"

"It just seems like every time I turn around there is a new guy with you," he growls.

"For your information, but not that it is any of your business, I was never dating Tony, and I cancelled my date with him because you pitched such a fucking hissy fit about it! Then you disappear for almost two weeks, I don't hear from you and I don't see you, yet you expect some kind of loyalty? Paul there isn't anything between us and if you keep acting like this, there never will be," I snap as I head towards the door.

"This goes for all of you, I'm not your taking care of you, if you think you get to trapeze in and out of my life and things be fine then you are wrong. I will not be your maid or your door mat and I expect some common courtesy. If you want to be fed here, you will help prepare the meals and clean up. If you want to stay here then I expect you call ahead of time and okay it with me. And if you think you get to not call me at all for almost two weeks and not tell me what is going on then you are sadly mistaken," I look Tommy directly in the eye when I say that last part.

The boys are in a stunned silence as I turn toward the door and leave, but as I am closing the door I'm pretty sure I hear one of the boys mutter, "Damn Paul, she really is your soul mate."

I just roll my eyes and snort at the thought.

I arrive at The Bean a few minutes late, but I did preach to a room full of boys so that is to be expected. I see Calvin sitting at one of the tables outside and I quickly make my way over toward him.

"Hey, Sorry I'm late…"

"Its fine," he mutters smoothly with a charming smile on his face, "I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty to ordering your drink."

"Oh… no it's fine…" I mutter a little surprised, "I actually really hated when guys do that, however when the drink arrives and it's the very drink that I order, down to the extra whipped cream, which doesn't go on a French Vanilla Latte, not to mention that French Vanilla isn't exactly a normal syrup…

I'm honestly not sure of what to make of it.

"How did you know this is my favorite drink?"

"I do my research…"

"Ok…"

"So, how did you enjoy that play that you went to last week?" He murmurs looking me straight in the eyes. His eyes are an unnerving shade of gray, almost black in color. It's at that point that I realize that this is the first time I've ever seen his eyes, and I don't like them.

Suddenly I'm sitting bolt upright in my chair, how does he know that I went to a play last week? The only conversation that I've ever had with him is the introductions a mere day ago. It's at this point that I don't feel very safe and I'm really wishing that I had stayed home today and perhaps made up with Paul and the boys.

That's it! Paul and the boys!

"You know… before I answer that I really just need to make a quick phone call. I'm so sorry that is so rude of me!"

"Who are you calling?" his tone is innocent enough but there is something not right with the way he says it, almost as if he is compelling me to tell him the answer.

"My boss, there are couple of things I need to talk to him about," I say quickly as I get up and give him an innocent smile. He frowns in discontent and, perhaps, frustration, but nods anyway.

I head toward the bathroom and go to the very end stall and flip through my contacts until I find Paul's number.

I rings several times before the voice mail picks up, I hang up and try again practically seeing him seethe with anger at seeing my name and number on the caller id. However, when he doesn't pick up a second or third time I try Seth's phone.

"Hello?" It's picked up on the second ring.

"Seth? I'm really scared right now… there isn't something right about Calvin."

"What? What do you mean? Did he hurt you?" after he says that the phone is literally ripped from his hand and Paul's voice floods the line.

"Megan? What's wrong? Are you okay?" His voice is filled with panic, worry and anger.

"Yeah Paul I'm fine, just really freaked out. This guy knows things about me that he shouldn't."

"Like what?"

"Like my favorite drink, exactly how I order it and that I went to a play last week. Paul he has no way of knowing these things about me! And when I asked him how he knew my drink he just said that 'I did my research.' What does that even mean? Did he stalk me?"

"Look Meg everything is going to be fine! I'm already half way there just stay where you are until I get there ok?"

"Ok I will, just hurry Paul I'm really freaked out right now…" I hate how fragile I sound.

Almost a minute later I hear someone pounding on the bathroom door, this is accompanied by a text message that says, "It's me."

I quickly run out of the bathroom and into Paul's waiting arms, "We're taking you home," he mutters gruffly as he drapes an arm protectively around my shoulders and leads me outside.

Calvin looks annoyed when he sees Paul and me walk out of the cafe, "Calvin I'm sorry but I have to go home there is a family emergency that I have to attend to. Perhaps I will call you later?"

"That sounds fine, I hope that everything is ok," he mutters shooting a particularly hostile glare at Paul, who is glaring just as menacing back.

After Calvin leaves I turn to Paul and look up into his warm brown eyes and give him a grateful smile.

"See why you shouldn't date anyone but me?" he says with a cheeky grin.

I roll my eyes and punch him in the arm, which defiantly hurt me more than him, "Let's go home Paul…"

When I turn toward the street I see the rest of the boys meandering around bench on the sidewalk, I'm even surprised to find Alexia along with Jared, Embry, Jacob and Quil come running up the street toward us all.

"Everything alright?" questions Jared as we approach them all.

"Yeah… everything's fine, who called for reinforcements?" I said as I looked around at everyone that came to my defense.

"Paul texted us and told us you were in trouble and we came running," said Jacob with a lazy grin, "You know you're one of our honorary den mothers right?"

I laughed quietly, "What is this, summer camp?"

"Something like that…" mutters Paul looking down at me quite fondly, I might add.

"You seem like Wendy to me…" Alexia said quietly from her position beside Tommy.

"Funny… I always liked Tinker Bell best!" I say with a laugh at the boys expressions of utmost confusion.

"Oh! Like Peter Pan?" questions Collin from his position to my right.

Alexia and I glance at one another and roll our eyes in amusement, "Yes Collin, like Peter Pan."

With that said the boys begin to talk all at once to one another and we all make our way back to the apartment. I'm quite surprised when Alexia falls back to the back where Paul and I are taking our time.

"I wanted to tell that I thought what you did to for Tommy is cool…"

I glance over at her, "Well I couldn't just let him be torn away from his friends like that they are practically his family!"

"That was cool too, but I was talking about his room."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, he told me his parents never really did anything for him… Made him feel like he finally belongs somewhere, at least that's what he told me…" She said looking away, obviously not used to talking like this with someone she doesn't know.

"Well I'm glad he finally feels like he belongs," I say with a soft smile in her direction which she returns to my surprise. I feel Paul squeeze me to him in a light hug and look up at him and he just smiles down at me and this is the most content that I've felt in two weeks.

Please Review ladies! The more you do the sooner you get more Paul!
