I awoke surprised. When did I fall asleep? I guess I must have dozed off while reading. I look down to my book and see someone bookmarked it with a $5 dollar bill. There was a sticky note attached that read "Keep it and you look cute when you sleep ;)" I smiled and looked across the plane at Gage, he was sleeping. I walked over to his seat with the $5 he gave me and $5 dollars I pulled from my pocket and placed them on his food tray. I was turning away and  I felt something tug on my shirt. I look back and see a sleeping Gage so I shake the feeling, thinking it was my imagination. I went back to my seat to see $15 pinned to my back! Goodness this boy was ridiculous. I let out a sigh and ripped off a piece of the sticky note. I pulled the pen out of my pocket and write " If you're forcing money on me can I at least buy you food or a drink??" I asked the flight attendant to hand it to the golden- haired doofus in the corner wit piercing green eyes.                                                                                                                                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     Gage'sPOV:                                                                                                                                                Wow, this girl. She sends sparks through my skin and drives me insane. Seriously, only knowing her a couple hours and I'm planning our children. ( I know this is creepy and girly but it's how I feel) I cant help but think she feels the same. I wonder if she lives in California too. But if shes just taking a vacation I think my heart will literally fall out of me. I don't know when or how this happened but I'm head-over-heels for her and I don't even know her name. Shes all I can think about so when I got the note asking to buy me a drink. I of course answered with a heck yeah, the south in me, and nearly jumped out of my seat to see her. She smiled and began blushing and stood up...then fell...again. Shes lucky I have reflexes like a cat because I caught her in a wink. She blushed more which made me grin.                                                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~."So we blush easily, I see" Gage says raising an eyebrow. "Well umm I am kinda clumsy" I say absorbed in his adorableness. I dusted my self off to see my parents, more specifically my dad, shooting me dirty looks. The flight attendant walked towards us and politely asked us to sit. The Talkative Tom looked at me suspiciously and I "signed" something to Gage. He smiled questioningly asked "Why did you sign hat-a-pat-a?" Seriously?! He knew sign language?! I pulled the sticky note out of my pocket and scribbled quickly as the attendant shot us dirty looks. He read the note aloud "Ask this very lovely flight attendant if we can sit together - <3 Viv" She stared at me, obviously annoyed, and tapped Talkative Toms shoulder. TT looked up and the flight attendant asked her if she would mind moving. She said not at all and talked that poor lady's ear off while she was guided her to her new seat. Gage sat with a plop and I commented, "I feel bad for whoever sits next to her." He grinned widely and said, "I don't, the kid sneezed on my peanuts so he could eat them." I chuckled and he put his arm around my shoulder and said, "So, I guess we should get to know each other." "Alright you start" I say and he starts his long story.                                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I saw my parents in the L.A airport looking around for me. They see me and say something to my brother who comes walking my way. I pick up my luggage to feel a tug at my shirt and see Gage wink at me and walk away. I pull the note off my back and put it in my pocket. "Come on, ya brat" Luke said brotherly giving a shove and slapping my road rash. "LUKE!!" I screech "Oh my god, my back!" I can feel the tears welling in my eyes and the pain shooting through my body.It hurts so bad I can't see, black clouds my vision. I hear my brother let out a sigh as my mother asked "Viv? Honey are you okay?" I could see clearer than before but the tears weren't helping. "Mom, can you just take me to the hotel?" I croak out. "But..."  My mother says. "Please" I beg and we drive to the hotel. When we get there my father asks, "Are sure you're okay to stay here by yourself?" "Yeah" I reply feeling the gauze on my wound move with me. "Text me if you need anything at all" My mom said a concerned look covering her face. "She'll be fine" my brother said gaining glares from me and my mom. "Don't be a jerk!" his girlfriend said as she swung her purse at him. "Ya" my 2 year-old sister chimed in and kicked his shins. They left and I relaxed and pulled the waded note out of my pocket. "Gage's number (326)-2961-8923 call me cutie!" I whipped out my phone and typed in his number but decided to text instead of call.                                                         Me:HeyGage??                                                                                                                                                        Gage:What up cutie?                                                                                                                                                Me:Nothing much                                                                                                                                                 Gage: How's your back??

Gage called entering the hotel room causing me to throw my phone. "GAGE!" I scream "My phone!" I scream again. "Caught it" he said with a cheeky smile and tossed the phone onto the bed. "Goodness, you have great hand eye coordination!" I say and he hops next to me on the bed. Suddenly, my phone dings and Gage picks it up.                                                                                                                                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Notes: Hey guys hope you're enjoying the story so far!
