till death do us part

Blind date

Jenna Marshall and Zander Fayette would be described as 2 different people, Jenna who grew up in a small Missouri town, her nana called her cookie because of her freckles that covered her face, her mother was the opposite of her nana, beating Jenna, attacking her appearance. Jenna's father would never know of her beauty, no one knew who her father was, because Jenna's mother was cheating with multiple men at the time of Jenna's conceiving. Her only 2 friends were her nana and best friend, Estella, who stayed by Jenna's side since 3rd grade.

Zander Fayette though? He was the opposite, Zander grew up in Hollywood, close enough to be a nepotism baby, with money at his reach, 2 parents who accommodated his every want and need, who would pay for whatever he wanted, supported him, loved him, everything Jenna wanted, he had, constant validation, love and attention, which would help him land a job in west california at a modeling company, where he met Estella.

Estella was beautiful, with long, brown hair with blonde streaks and grey eyes, as bright as the sun, but she didn't want Zander, so after weeks of convincing, Estella would set up Jenna with Zander, and set up a blind date between the two, and paid for a ticket to California for Jenna.

They met at an Olive Garden by the beach, Jenna wearing a beautiful black dress with a slit down the thigh, that actually belongs to Estella, but she let her borrow, with her long brown hair in a braid that swung around her shoulder, hugging her neck, while Zander wore a grey tuxedo set with black shoes.

"Hi, you must be Jenna! It's a pleasure to meet you, i'm Zander." Zander loudly exclaims, putting his hand out to shake Jenna's hand.
Shyly, Jenna puts out her hand and nervously shakes it, "Hi, it's great to meet you" anxiety filling her body.
After 3 hours of eating, talking and walking by the beach, Jenna's nervousness had left her body, she felt as if she had known Zander for her whole life. They cracked jokes, told story's of their past, and overall, had a great time. Around 12:30, they arrived home, exchanging numbers, and making plans to meet the next weekend.
When Jenna arrives to Estella's house, she wakes her up to tell her about the date. 
"He is amazing! he's hot, funny and kind! all that is could ever want!" Jenna gushes, curling her toes under her bedsheets and squealing.
"I'm so glad i could convince you! He's an amazing guy and I totally see you guys getting married!" Estella says, gleefully
"But wait!" Jenna says stopping herself  before gushing more, "I still live in Missouri! how could I be such an idiot?!"
"Just cancel your flight home, call your nana, and move up here!!" Estella says, "you can stay here until you get a job and are financially ready, i'll deal with the rest! don't even fret"
"Your awesome, you know that? I love you, Estella" Jenna says, tears forming in her brown eyes, one rushing down her reddened cheeks, playing connect-the-dots on her freckles.
"I love you to, Jenna, just know i'll always be here for you, even if that means going through a lot of trouble just for you to go on another date!" Estella says wipining away a tear from Jenna's face.
"Go home, tell your nana and pack your things!" Estella says, grabbing a bottle of water, putting it up to her lips and taking a large sip.
