The Quad

21st year

A couple tears fell and i felt Stanley wipe them away with his hand”hey how bout a burger”

“well go to the fancy one since were dressed nicely hows that”he grinned and i agreed we were off

after he told his date to go away apparently hed liked her until they got into a real discussion and he wondered how she had gotten into the school.

When we got seated i took in the restaurant i was floored coming in here and the excitement of being dressed up and having a good meal with a friend it was wonderful Stanley stared at me and chuckled at me for me wonder.

Told him i prob would get used to it if i came here more but secretly i never wanted to lose that feeling

when our dessert i was in food bliss and my stomach felt good i was thinking about my icecream and stated that it would be a regular thing someday but what a romantic idea if my bond smell like my favorite dessert and that's how i could find him.

“could you imagine Stanley” he had been listening with a smile and asked me to clarify

“well wouldn't it be nifty for someones scent to be a dessert” i smiled stupidly at my spoonful of ice cream as he smiled at me.

“we should get going” he said leaving cash with a tip for our meal

“to where?” i asked

“you’ll see”.

I was surprised when he took me to the spot only the three of us seemed to hang out it.

That brought my mind to Christoff and the look he had had on his face also why hadnt he texted and warned me or said anything if his brothers were going to do something to me at the dance

i shook my thoughts away as Stanley started speaking.

“so how do you want to spend your 21st year your very serious bonding year” he made a face like our pack leader when he was being stern.

“i haven't thought about celebrating it,seems like its taking forever i know its coming up and ill be able to talk to my wolf etc.” i let my words trail off.

He nudged me with his arm and there was that smile again

“come on ill help you up.”he grabbed me and pulled me towards him i wasn't expecting such a strong pull and fell into him he laughed and caught me like it was nothing i felt his muscle under his coat.

“have you been working out?” i asked

“ya anytime i can during the day” he answered

my mind overflowed with my thoughts as he helped me get up the tree the dress i was wearing was pretty not practical my mind spiraled with thoughts about heather and the qaud and my dress and tonight and how Stanley found a balance and if my friends could do that i could to

“hey are you paying attention” he laughed “you haven't heard a word i said”

he patted my back and i zoned back in.

“no sorry i zoned out my thoughts overwhelmed me”I said in what i thought sounded like a tone.

Stanley assured me it didn't sound like a tone i apologized anyway.

“i gotta get home or ill here it from my administrator” he helped me down playfully complains about how the party they were supposed to be at wouldn't be over for another two hours and they had time and then i reminded him “heather's a b***h and my administrator was up to something so ill get it if im not home early”

“pffft women” was his response i swatted him on the arm for that one ,he brushed it off i couldn't hurt him he was the same height as Christoff only he was lankier overall and had a swimmers body not the football one of Christoff.

I was right when i got back to my place i didn't need a fortune teller to tell me i was going to get it if they were all in there.

Laurence car was out front of the house.

I got inside i didn't see anyone and most of the lights were off my guess is my administrator was passed out somewhere which is why heather and the boys used it as a crash pad maybe that's all they were doing was my thought until i tried to go up stairs and baron appeared there i let out a little yelp of surprise and backed down the stairs and right into Stafe who promptly slide his hand in my hair he wasnt hurting me though just holding me.”where have you been” he whispered in my ear his breath hit the back of my neck and i shivered involuntarily. made him grin large.

“she must have been with Stanley, the three musketeers” Laurence sneered “stupid s**t”

“hey don't you...”i started to say but was pulled back against Stafe hard as Laurence got in my face

i wanted to stick up for Stanley like Christoff and he did for me,Laurence wouldn't hear of it though

“she lost her manners” Laurence said right up in my face

“on your knees” Stafe put me where Laurence wanted i was so angry but they were alphas so i obeyed hi command.

“the next time you think of not being where your supposed to when we asked you to be there and you go against our wish's your going to scrub the dungeons till they sparkle”

my first thought was oh he means the basement and my second thought was already cleaned it since thats where they put me a lot maybe i could get a good nap in since it just needed a tidy so not much of a punishment but he didn't know that he wouldn't go down there.

i couldn't help the smirk that spread on my face even though i did try to hide it it was seen

he got right in my face and looked like he wanted me dead right there.

“just give her work Laurie” Stafe said to his brothers as he let go of my hair giving me a little push forward so i had to catch myself with my hands.

“everything,dishes,clothes and scrub the floor” he walked past me and pushed me the rest of the way to the floor as he walked past “oh and the laundry room is locked so is your room the kitchen water is off but the hose is working there's a bucket out back ,maybe.”

they all headed to the extra rooms in the house so they were using it as a crash pad probably to keep an eye on me as well.

I was so mad i was shaking i was also pissed i didnt want to clean a house i wanted to sleep and because they were butt hurt and just jerks they wanted me to ruin my dress and made the work harder

i was thinking this as i stepped out of my dress luckily i had thought about comfort and fashion had on a halter sports bra and girl boxers on or whatever you call the girl panty short things.

I wasn't going to let them ruin the dress in a different way other then the memory of why i bought it i could always wear it to something else and give it a new memory but not if it was covered in gross crap and ruined entirely.

I sighed and got to work
