***Ryan's POV***
He gave that patented half smile.
"That's just it." She replied.
"What's it?" He asked in a confused tone. He cocked his head to one side, and bit his lip.
"You don't have to wait---I need you now." She added.
Was he hearing this right? Was this one of those daydreams he had? Or had Marissa Cooper really made up her mind, and decided on him?
"Seriously?" He asked in total shock.
***Marissa's POV***
"Yes, seriously---no question. Even if I hadn't chosen you, Luke basically told me he didn't care to be involved in my life anymore---my problems." She looked down at her feet.
"I do, Marissa. You're a package, and no matter what anybody says---it's what makes you special. Disasters are the key to making you more than the rest of these people."
She looked up and smiled a little. He really did understand her.

***Seth's POV***
Seth didn't make it far down the sidewalk before he turned around and walked back. He rang the doorbell, and leaned on the wall with his hand. Summer answered the door. She opened the heavy wooden door, surprised to see him again.
"Seth---?" She asked bewildered.
"I was just thinking---would you like to---ya know, do something sometime?" He asked in his most confident voice. She looked at him blankly for few seconds. He watched her blink and swallow hard.
"Seth---don't get my wrong, I had fun tonight. But---our "crowds" just really don't mix. I'm not sure---" He cut her off.
"No, that's fine. I get it---I'm not good enough, not "in" the crowd. Fine-- -Goodnight, Summer." He turned around and walked down the sidewalk again. He rounded the corner and headed towards home.
***Summer's POV***
'What are you doing?' She asked herself. 'You had fun with this guy, right? Sure he's not part of your group---how much can one date hurt? Maybe it'll turn out that you actually like him.'
She left the door wide open, and ran down the sidewalk. Her flip-flops making a clicking noise on the pavement with every hurried step she took. She stopped where the pavement hit the boulevard. He was gone at least a hundred feet away.
"Seth!!!" She yelled. He turned around.
***Seth's POV***
She was a speck in this distance, but he'd heard her say his name.
"What Summer?" He yelled back.
"I could maybe do something---sometime." She yelled back.
"Seriously?" He replied.
"Seriously." She responded back.
"I'll call you!" He yelled and smiled.
"Do you need my number?"
"Don't worry about it!" He yelled back. He watched her wave, turn and walk back inside her house. "I've only waited to use it for my whole life." He smiled again taking one last look at her house and again he began the walk back home.

***Ryan's POV***
"So---this is new." She whispered as he wrapped his arms around her.
"Not really." He replied.
"No, but I'm just allowed to enjoy it now." She looked up and smiled.
"Then you're allowed to enjoy this too." He leaned in to kiss her, gently touching her face. He broke away. "And this?" He asked again, kissing her soft lips.
***Marissa's POV***
"Yes---and this." She replied adding kiss upon kiss to his lips. The kisses became deeper, and deeper as the moments rolled by. She pulled back. "I should go. It's getting late." She sighed. He nodded. "I'll see you later, okay?" She asked.
"Goodnight." He replied grabbing her hand as she left. "Sweet dreams." He added. She smiled and turned to walk to her house.
***Ryan's POV***
He watched her walk back to her house. She really was beautiful. Now he could say she was his. Marissa Cooper had picked Ryan Atwood. Ryan Atwood, the stereotypical bad kid from the wrong neighborhood. The most unlikely match ever created. She'd picked him, over her "safe" boyfriend. Despite what everyone had told her, she'd let her heart tell her what to do.
***Seth's POV***
He strolled up the driveway and near the pool house, in time to see Ryan and Marissa kiss. He waited around the corner, just out of sight. When she was gone, he came up behind Ryan and put a hand on his shoulder.
"I have so much to tell you. You have no idea." He started. Ryan looked at him and nearly broke up in laughter.
"I think I might." He smiled and they walked into the pool house talking about what had just happened.
A/N: Thanks for all the nice comments! :) May leave it here, I'm kinda not sure what to do from here. Hope you enjoyed it.
