* LOVE and INJUSTICE *

* CHAPTER 3 *- THE VIRGIN- PART 1

    TUESDAY- 3:00 P.M.
     Mykaela decided to call Gage and see if he would meet her at the coffee shop, they met at. She called once, she let it ring three times, hung up. She called again, let it ring twice, then hung up again. Each time the phone rang, her heart would beat so hard, it felt like it was gonna jump completely out of her chest. Gage Mitchell was one of the hottest guys that had ever asked her out, he made her so nervous, she didn't know what to do with herself. No guy had ever made her as nervous as Gage did.
     Mykaela took three deep, soothing breaths, then dialed Gage's number again. * Ring*... * Ring*... * Ring *... On the fourth ring, Gage finally answered.
" Hello?" When she heard his deep voice, she opened her mouth to speak,it was suddenly dry, and her throat seemed to lock up. She tried to swallow but nothing happened. He spoke again. " Hello? Who is this, please?" He asked, not sounding to thrilled by the silence on the other end of his phone. She could tell he was probably about to hang up, when she was finally able to speak. " Hi, Gage, it's me, Mykaela." She sort of squeaked into the receiver. " I'm sorry, my throat is a little dry, it's hard for me to talk." She smiled, then realizing he couldn't see her, stopped. But, because it's Gage she was talking to, she smiled again.
" Oh Mykaela, hi. I was hoping you'd call, I'm so glad you did... I... I... I can't stop thinking about you. "  He said.
    Mykaela hadn't stopped smiling since he answered the phone, his confession, only made her smile go from ear to ear. She could tell from the excitement in his voice, that he was grinning from ear to ear also, even though she couldn't see him.
     " Yeah, Gage, I... I... I can't stop thinking about you either. I called to see if you wanted to meet me at the coffee shop or meet me in the lobby here, and we can go there together from here, if you would like."  She was still grinning big, hoping he would agree to meet her.
     " Uh, yeah, sure... uh... umm... I'll meet you in your lobby so we can go there together. Uh... give me about... uh, 20 minutes? I'll buzz you when I get there. "  He said, she could tell he was a little nervous, he was actually stuttering a bit, she thought it was cute. When he spoke again, it brought her out of her thoughts. " Does that sound okay? "  She still couldn't stop smiling, she was really excited that he had agreed to meet her. " Yeah, that sounds great. I'll see you then... okay... bye, Gage. "   She hung up when he said his goodbye from his end.
                   ~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~   ~~~~~~
  Twenty minutes later, the intercom in her apartment Buzzed. Mykaela wasn't expecting Gage to be right on time, but to her surprise he was there, buzzing her apartment exactly twenty minutes later like he said he would. Mykaela pushed the button on the intercom to speak into it, and let him know she'd be right down.
" Yeah, I'll be down in just a minute."  She said, trying to stay as calm as possible, even though she was extremely excited Gage was there. Then she let go of the button and in came Gage's voice back at her,  " Okay, see ya in a minute.". She heard his deep voice say, and she felt tingles go up and down her spine, the good kind.
      On that note, she grabbed her jacket, stepped out into the hall, and locked her door. She turned around and ran into the hardest chest she had ever felt, when she did, it startled her and she screamed as she fell to the floor, before she hit the floor though, she was caught and steadied back on her feet.
     When she gained back her balance, she finally got the nerve to look at whoever possessed the hard as rock chest, and she looked straight into Gages' shiny, honey brown eyes. " I'm so sorry, Mykaela, are you okay?"  he said, as he smiled at her, and looked straight into her glowing, emerald, jade green ones. She smiled back at him. " Yes, I'm fine, you just scared... I wasn't expecting anyone to be there when I turned around, that's all."  She said, grinning even bigger.
      " Well, I figured I would go ahead and meet you at your door, so I could escort you down, was that alright? "  He asked, then at that very moment he noticed her face. " What happened to your face, Mykaela? "  He asked, as his golden, brown eyes clouded into almost a scary black, but unlike Taylor, he wasn't planning on hurting her when this happened, he wanted to hurt someone else, she could see he was already protective of her, which was a little weird considering they only met three days ago.
   " Can we talk about it later in private? I would just rather tell you about it where there's no risk of someone else over hearing it, okay? "  She half smiled at him, but thinking about telling Gage or how she would explain it to him makes her even more nervous to be around him considering it is his sisters' boyfriend that caused the bruises on her face. She didn't want to risk him not believing her either and there was that possibility.
    " Okay, that's fine, you can tell me whenever you're ready to, I won't push you into anything your not comfortable with. "  Gage smiled at her, slightly showing a dimple on his left cheek, which Mykaela found extremely sexy. " Oh, and please don't take to heart anything my sister said the other day, that's not who I am anymore, Mykaela, I swear. "  Gage said, as he put his hands up in a surrender stance.
      Mykaela couldn't help but chuckle slightly at this statement. " Okay, don't worry, I don't let what people say about someone else cloud my own judgement of them. I like to get to know someone first, and then make my own assumption about them. "  She said, as they walked to Gages' car.
      When they got to his car, Mykaela was awed by the type of car it was. It was a brand new porsche carrera, silver in color, with a slight irridescent sheen. " Wow, beautiful car Gage. How the hell can you afford this ? "  She asked. She would almost be speechless, if this kind of car wasn't her absolute dream car.
      Gage chuckled a little, as his face started to redden a bit from embarrassment. He forgot he hadn't told her yet. " Oh no, it's not mine actually, I borrowed it from my room mate, I wish it was mine. "  Gage chuckled again, a little more nervously this time.
   He unlocked her door, opened it for her, waited for her to get in, and shut it back. Mykaela couldn't help thinking to her self, " Wow, he's definitely a gentlemen.. I can't wait to get to know him much better. "  She watched him, shyly, as he unlocked the drivers side door, get in, turned the key, but the car was so quiet, she couldn't tell if it came to life or not, until Gage put it in drive and took off. Damn, was it fast too!
    They pulled up in front of the coffee shop in less than ten minutes, when walking would have taken maybe 30 minutes, even though it was just around the corner from Mykaela's apartment.
    Before she could open her door, Gage was there opening it for her, taking her hand to help her out, then shutting it and locking the car up before they went inside.
