"Eden!" Jenna yells hoping off her bed
"Hey there, you excited?" I ask with a little laugh
"Duh! I get to leave this place! Even if it's only for a day" she replies with a proud smile
"Now now missy sit down and Eden will do your makeup" my mother says coming into the hospital room
"What's that?" Jenna ignores our mom, pointing to the ball bag I have around my arm
"It's a little surprise but let's get you all fancied up first" I inform her
After about fifteen minutes of putting makeup on Jen and picking our a beautiful purple wrap for her head we are left to just sit around and talk jus the two of us.
"Soooo.... are you bringing that hot guy from the farmers market?" Jenna asks me, all smiles
"Yeah about that... No. He's a jerk and stood me up. But on the bright side I do have a date" I start
"Well fun you're beautiful! What's his name?"
"His name is Jacob wo...." I begin but get interrupted
"Jacob woods?!" She basically shouts "the one you brought here yesterday?" When I nod she continues "he's the most hottest hottie I know and..." That's when Jenna's rant get cut off by a knock at the door
"Is mom back with snacks?" Jenna asks
I open the door to a grinning Jacob "the hottest hottie is here" he informs us stepping around me "well who is this beautiful girl? She must be your twin right?" He ask making Jenna's face turn a tomato red
"Hello to you too Jacob" I say with a small laugh glad he making Jenna happy
He walks over to the bed and shakes Jenna's hand "it's good to see you again"
"You...you too" she stammers out.
Before she embarrasses herself anymore I speak up "surprise time now" I walk over to the black bag and open it up showing Jenna the dress
She gasps "mom said I had to wear a stupid skirt"
I laugh "yeah she told me that too. But I figured we should fancy you up a bit more"
"Thank you, it's beautiful" she walks over an raps me in a hug
"Alright I'm back we need to go though it's already 3:35 " my mom says walking I to the room "oh hello you must be..."
"It's nice to finally meet you, I'm Jacob woods, Eden's boyfriend"
I'm left with two gaping faces and one with a smirk.
