Once Quinn and Gage came home, Quinn went to her room, wanting to let everything she just told Gage sink in. She swallowed nervously but smiled. Was she ready to give her virginity away? Hell no, it terrified her, like if she gave it away a piece of her would be gone and in a way it would but not in some horrible way. It's not like she was losing an arm or getting all her hair chopped off. They've fooled around before and she's been close to telling him to just fuck her on the spot but stopped herself knowing that wasn't something you just rush into. But what if he leaves her? Like her dad and TJ have done to so many girls. What if he didn't find her sexy enough? Maybe she should buy something. She sat on her bed. She didn't have any girlfriends and Katie and her cousin Amalia lived a few hours away. Katie owned her own book store. She bite her lip, texting TJ. It felt loserish to go to the mall alone. Even if he just goes to a Game Stop while she stops in the Victoria's Secret shes fine with.

Quinn: Hey, you free tomorrow to go to the mall?

TJ was on his way home. At a red light he stopped, checking his phone. He raised his eyebrow. Quinn go to the mall? She didn't do malls or anything girly. He was sure she didn't own any heels or make up. He was surprised she owned a brush. He text back.

TJ: yeah. What time?

Quinn: like noon?

TJ: sure.

He shook his head as the light turned green. Maybe he could get an answer out of her tomorrow. He parked in the garage 20 minutes later. He walked past the lab, seeing Gage and Quinn in there now, just chilling on the couch. He shook his head, walking past.

Inside the lab, Quinn was sitting on the couch with her legs in Gage's lap. He managed to get her away from her desk. She giggled as he kissed her neck. "Fuck...stop..that tickles..." He smirked. "I know." His hands move over her breats to her waist. She bit her lip. "what will it feel like?" He stopped, moving away from her. "What? When we.." "Fuck. Yeah. That."She smirked weakly. He chuckled. "First off, it won't be fucking." She blushed but smiled. "Then what else would it be? Were not exactly gonna have tea and cookies?" He smirked softly. "It'll be making love." She didn't want to admit to herself how sweet that sounded. She blushed at the sheer sincerity in his voice.

She smirked to cover, feeling vulnerable all of a sudden. "That is the cheesiest thing I have ever heard. You use that on all the girls?" He kissed her head. "Just ones I love." She smirked. "so...numbers?" He smirked. "Just you. I love you." She grinned. "Good. I love you to." He chuckled, kissing her. She smiled. "Do I get an answer to my question?" He smirked softly, kissing her neck. "Well... it might hurt at first, being a virgin. But I promise, it'll be amazing. If any of it becomes too much, tell me and I'll stop. " She looked away, biting her lip. "Your still gonna be with me after right? Like, your not gonna just use me for that and leave?" He frowned, tilting her face up. "Princess, I could never, ever do that to you. I love you. I promise, you got me for as long as you want me." He wasn't gonna tell her about the engagement ring he's had stashed away for the last few months. She smiled softer. "I love you to. Sorry...just..scared I guess." He smiled, kissing her head.

The next day TJ went down to the lab, looking for Quinn. He found her waist deep in her Iron man suit. It was going on 12:30. He shook his head. She was just like dad. He put his numbers in, walking inside. He nearly winced at the blaring My Chemical Romance. "JARVIS, mute!" Within a second the music stopped, making her stop. Looking up, moving her welding goggles."Uh hey.." He smiled. "So we going on that mall trip?" She looked confused a moment before her eyes widened, standing up out of her suit, pieces of the suit falling around her. "Shit! Yes, yeah. Just, give me a few, ok?" He smiled, shaking his head. "Sure. I'll be in the garage."

She showered and dressed quickly, forgetting to tell Gage about her mall trip as she nearly ran past him in the hall. He caught her by the arm. "Whoa there firecracker, where are you going in such a rush?" She blushed but smirked. "Actually I'm going to the mall. With TJ." Gage raised an eyebrow."ok...why? You and mall kinda don't go together." She blushed deeper but smirked softly. "What, a girl can get her boyfriend a birthday gift?" She was glad his birthday was at the end of the month. He chuckled. "Next time, tell me your plans before rushing thru here like a storm." She smiled. "Yeah, kinda forgot. Got caught up in work." He kissed her quickly. "Get me something nice princess." She smirked. "Oh I will." She walked away, making sure to sway her hips. She could feel his stare on her ass.

She made it down to the garage wearing her dark cargo pants, band shirt and converse. She smiled seeing TJ next to the car. "Ready." he chuckled. "Finally." He opened his door, getting in while she went around, getting in. he put the car into gear and drove out of the garage. He saw she was fairly quiet most of the ride. He spoke up. "So what's this mall trip about? You and Mall don't go together." She looked annoyed but blushing. "Why does everyone keep asking that?" He raised an eyebrow as he stopped at a red light. She sighed. "Don't tell mom and dad." He smiled. "You know I won't." She looked away, biting her lip. "I'm going to Victoria's Secret to find something nice for me and Gage's...first time." She blushed deeply. The light turned green.

He smiled, pressing the gas. "Wait, you haven't already?" She shook her head. "No. He never pressured me into it or anything. Just fooled around and let me come to my own terms when I was ready." TJ nodded his head. "I promise, I won't tell mom and dad. Want me to float around Game stop or something til your done?" She smiled. "That would be nice. I'm sure this is not your idea of a day out." He chuckled, pulling into the mall parking lot. "Nope." He parked then looked at her. "Hey, you gonna be ok by yourself?" He knew how shy she could get around strangers. She had agoraphobia for a few years when she was little. She smiled weakly. "I'll be fine. All I'm doing is looking at bras and panties and buying them. Not giving a whole speech on world peace." "Good, cause that would probably suck." She smirked, punching his arm. "Lets go." She got out of the car.

They went there ways once they went into the mall. She now stood in front of the bright pink store. It was a bit intimidating. She let out a breath, walking inside. There wernt many people here today. Good. She saw the lingerie on the wall, walking over to them, looking them over. What would Gage like to see her in? Behind her by the display box of panties were two girls from TJ's school. One tall, blonde and looked wealthy. The one next to her was shorter, brown hair and still just as wealthy and stuck up. The brunette spoke up, pointing in Quinns direction. "Hey Stacy, look what the cat dragged in." Stacy smirked. "Oh poor thing must be lost. The mechanics shop is the other way." They both giggled. The brunette spoke up with an evil glint. "Why don't we keep her in her place? She doesn't belong here, make sure she knows. Even better if you make her cry." Stacy looked between Quinn and her friend before smirking. "Alright. Lets go." She started to saunter over in her heels and mini skirt.

Quinn was looking over a red and black number when Stacy walked next to her. Quinn raised an eyebrow. "uh do you work here?" The brunette giggled first, Stacy chuckling lightly. "How sweet, she thinks I work here. No, sweetie. We came to...talk some sense into you." Quinn was already on guard from there tone of voice, talking to her like she was a four year old. The blonde continued. "You see, you don't really belong here. You belong in say, the Hot Topic or the mechanics shop. Not here. I mean, what could you possibly buy here that's of any use to you? Certainly not a thong or lacy bra. Who gonna be looking at you like that? Little miss hair-up-in-the-messiest-bun-possiable. And do you wear anything else but this?" Stacy said, signaling a manicured hand toward Quinn. Quinn swallowed the lump in her throat, putting on a brave glare but she could feel her eyes watering. "I have a boyfriend. Excuse me if I want to look nice." Stacy giggled. "Please, who would go out with you? You don't even know how to put on make up, do you even own make up? Who ever is going out with you, must be blind then or in it for the money to be doing you." They both giggled as a tear went down Quinns face as she turned quickly, nearly running out of the store when she suddenly bumped into her brother. His hands on her arms as she struggled not to break down.

He was worried. He held her arms gently. "Whoa, Quinn, what happened?" He could see the two girls a small distance away, looking triumphant. Quinn sniffled, tears continuing to go down her face. "Just take me home. This was a bad idea. I should have never came here. I don't belong in here." Her voice wobbled as she spoke and TJ was putting more and more together between the girls and Quinn. He told Quinn to go get something to eat in the food court, that he had to take care of something. She already knew he knew, leaving without another word. He turned, going to them, putting on his charm.

"Hey.." The brunette spoke. "Hey you." She smirked. TJ signaled to outside the store. "Wanna go somewhere more private?" Stacy smirked,the brunette was the one to take her hand and lead her, following TJ. He got down the hall, signaling them down the secluded hallway. Once toward the end. He smirked. "ok. Shirts up, bras down. I want to see the girls." The brunette didn't hesitate, the blonde had some hesitation but followed with a smirk, both lifting there shirts for him, showing off there breasts. He got his phone out, taking a picture. "Nice." He suddenly looked very serious. "Your damn lucky you two are woman or you'd both have broken noses by now. If you ever pull anything like that again on my sister or any of my family, these pictures are going all over the internet with the story of what you did."Stacy was horrified, adjusting her shirt. "Please, don't, my mother would kill me." TJ glared at her. "Then behave and it won't be a problem. Now, leave." The brunette glared after she adjusted her shirt before glaring, taking the blondes hand. "Com'on Stacy. We don't need this prick." Stacy just followed, looking genuinely remorseful.

TJ sighed, closing his phone, going to find Quinn. He found her toward the back of the food court. Of corse. Slowly munching on a pretzel. He sat down in front of her. "You ok?" She sighed. "I guess...I just should have never gone in there." TJ glared softly. "You belong in there just like any other woman does." He stood. "Com'on, lets find you something nice." She sighed. "Fine." She stood, following. After some time looking, she found a gorgeous one, with the help of TJ, who actually knew more then he let one about how clothing goes together. She found a beautiful one that was a simple bra and pantie set but was black with black glitter with garters and stockings. Once she bought her things she and TJ were walking past a engraving store. She stopped."I forgot, Gage's birthday is coming up." TJ grinned. "Com'on, lets go find him something." She smiled, following him in. a half hour later they came out. She held a little white bag from the store in her hand along with the pink bag from Victoria's Secret.

Once home she avoided Gage with JARVIS's help and got to her room to hide the pink bag. She took out the box the held his birthday gift. It was a leather bracelet with a metal engraving. She opened it, reading it over. "I love you my Knight. Always stay by my side. Your Princess." She bit his lip. She really wanted to give it to him now. She stood, putting it back in the box, going to find him in the gym. She smiled, leaning against the wall. "Hey you.." He smiled, wiping some sweat from his forehead. His shirt had long since been abandoned on the bench, his defined chest glistened with sweat. "Of corse you find me when I'm all gross and sweaty." She smirked, walking closer, the box held behind her. "I'm sure I can find other ways to make you gross and sweaty." He chuckled lowly, kissing her. She kissed but pulled back before it go heated. "Here. Your birthday gift. I couldn't wait to give it to you." He smiled softer, taking it. "You really didn't have to." He opened the box, looking taken aback before his face softened, taking the leather bracelet out. He smiled to her. "It's perfect." She bit her lip. "Really? You like it? It's not too cheesy or silly or.." He kissed her, ending her rambling, holding it in his free hand as he held her face. "shh...I love it. I love you. Thank you." She grinned brightly. "I love you to."

AN: reviews please! I love you all :D
