"...cause baby it's the everything for me..."
From The Badger State to The Lone Star State. Just a girl trying to start her life over. But will it be any better than the last?
It all starts when Maricela meets thee Jen...
"Mari! Jensen's here!" Julia shouts from the living room. I look into my full body length mirror in my room, putting my last earring on. Nerves run through my body. Jensen is here! I fluff my hair before taking a deep breath. I walk out of my room, towards the living room where everyone waits. I keep my head down and watch as each foot walks in front of the other. I finally look up when I hear Jensen whisper, "Wow."

He stares at me in awe, roses in his hands. His mouth hangs agape as he sits frozen on the couch. A smile spreads across my face as I take him in. "Hi," He immediately stands up. "Hey." Jensen stares into my eyes with a twinkle in his own. He breaks the gaze and looks at the roses in his hand. "I bought these for you." He extends his arm towards me. My heart melts. I reach to grab the flowers and my hand brushes against his own. Tingles shoot up my fingertips. "They're beautiful Jensen, thank you."
I bring the roses up to my nose and smell the scent, the silky petals brushing against my skin. I hand them over to the girls who are eagerly watching the interaction between Jensen and I. "Are you ready to go?" I ask. He looks so beautiful. He looks absolutely perfect!

Jensen checks me out and not subtly either. Heat flushes across my checks as I watch him bite his lip. He looks at me and nods. "After you my lady." He motions for the door. "Don't wait up girls. Love you!" I shout before locking my apartment door behind us. Jensen offers me his arm. I gladly accept as I slowly walk down the concrete stairs. "Excuse me, do y'all have any change?" I look at the direction the voice was coming from. To our left, there stood a homeless man. My heart broke when I saw him.
I look in my handbag for my wallet. I pull out a $20 and hand it to the man. Jensen's eyes follow my every movement. "God bless you ma'am." the older man thanked us before hobbling away. "You're so sweet," I hear his voice break the silence. "It's the least I could do." I shrug.
"Maricela, can I just say," Jensen exhales out, making it obvious he's been holding his breath. "You look so beautiful. " I gigle, "Thank you Jensen. So do you." "Yeah, I know." I laugh. "Damn, cocky much?" We reach the street and none other than thee legendary car. "Oh my gosh! Is this really it?!" I walk around the whole car, not believeing it's the 1967 Chevy Implala from the show. My dream car! The way the paint job shines in the moonlight.
