"Hey grandma!" I drop my carry on and run up to the frail old woman . She's so cute and short with curly white hair.

"Stella Bella!" She hugs me tight "how was your flight honey?"

"It was really good . I met this boy , his name is Nash. He doesn't live to far from here" a smile appears onto my face.

"Nash? That name sounds familiar to me"

"He has a little brother and sister , Hayes and skylynn" I think back to our conversation on the plane.

"The Griers! There mother Elizabeth owns a bakery . Every week I go and get the corn bread, you'll have to come with me sometime" my grandmother smiles brightly .

I nod "yeah that would be nice. I wonder if she has good angel food cake"

"She has the best! I'll buy you a loaf . We could go today if you feel up to it"

I check the time on my phone and it reads 3:06

"Yeah that sounds good. Let me just unpack"

"Go up the stairs. You have the first room on the left. I painted it teal for you"

"You didn't have too! Thank you grandma I appreciate it!" I grab my carry on and make my way up the steps .

I go into the first room on the left like she says. It's a beautiful teal color . It has a big queen sized bed in the middle with a white Ruffled comforter, on the far right side is a door which opens up to a bathroom. And on the left side is a vanity with a laptop .

I go over to the closet which is by the vanity and start to place my clothes in it . I didn't bring that much stuff. Just enough to get me through 2 weeks. That's when my mom will be here. I also brought my makeup and some of my pictures which hold memories of me and my best friends from back home. Cassidy ray was like my sister. I hope to visit her soon.

"Ready!" I yell as I run down the steps. We make our way to the car and drive into town square. It's about a 10 minute drive . Nash was right , it's a cute town. It has nice houses and everywhere you look someone is outside walking there dog or pushing a baby stroller. It's very peaceful. Something you never saw back home in LA.

"We're here" my grandma points to a little blue and pink shop. On the front it says "Beth's pastries and stroodles"

"I thought you said her name was Elizabeth?"

"Everyone calls her Beth . Or Lizzie . But I call her Elizabeth , I have known that girl since she was a baby" she smiles . We get out of the car and walk into the shop.

"Long time no see stranger" the familiar blue eyed boy smiles at me cheekily.

"I know. It feels like it's been an eternity!" I joke around with him and we both laugh.

"You Must be Stella ! Nash told me he met a pretty girl on the plane ride home. He didn't mention you were this beautiful !" His mom holds her arms out welcomingly . A blush creeps up onto my face and I giggle a little .

"Elizabeth ! We're just here for the corn bread and a loaf of your angel food cake" my grandmother smiles at her.

"Linda it's on the house ! You get it every week . Take some cookies home, fatten that granddaughter of yours!"

They begin to have there own conversation about what kind of cookies to get.

Nash pulls me aside and laughs awkwardly .

"Sorry about that. I didn't mean too..." He trails off and I giggle a little.

"I told my grandmother I met you on the plane and she knew who you were almost right away. I guess she comes here a lot"

"Yeah she comes once a week. Usually on a Thursday" he scrunches his eyebrows as he thinks.

"Yeah that's what she told me"

"We could um, you know . Go somewhere? I could show you around if you'd like" Nash shoves his hands into his pockets nervously.

"Yeah I would like that. Let me just tell my grandmother" I point over to the counter where my grandmother and Nash's mom are standing. He nods and walks over with me.

"Hey grandma I'm gonna go take a ride with Nash, he's gonna show me around town" she nods and smiles.

"Here take this. There's $150 . Buy anything you want" she hands me cash.

"No I couldn't take that" I refuse but she gives it to Nash and scolds him.

"Make sure she buys some clothes"

"I will ma'm. We will go to the mall" he announces.

"Just be safe you two. Linda, you both are welcome to come to dinner tonight . Around 7:30?" Elizabeth offers and my grandma smiles.

"That sounds lovely ! We will be there! You two just meet us back at Elizabeth's by 7:30" my grandmother looks at me and Nash both.

"Okay that sounds good. It was nice meeting you!" I wave goodbye to Elizabeth and she waves back at me.

"You too darling. Be safe!"

"We will" Nash waves and we walk out the door.

"So.. Where to first?" I ask .
