A/N-People have been asking for more R/M so this chapter will be mostly about them. Don't hold me to that though. I will try to write more R/M it's just that I think I want to write about what we don't get on the show. Which is Seth and Summer, and I'm pissed at Marissa on the show right now because she is being such a bitch about this whole Oliver-Ryan thing. Anyhoo, like I said, I'll try to write more R/M but I won't guarantee anything. R&R!
Summer Paradise in December
Ch. 7 - Sick
Summer and Seth walked into the Le Carré restaurant located at the hotel. The waiter seated them and handed them two menus. "Hi my name is Rob and I will be your waiter this afternoon", He said in a genuine voice unlike the voice of the concierge they had seen earlier that day. "Can I get you two anything to drink?"
Seth and Summer glanced down at their menus."
"I'll have a Shirley Temple", Summer informed Rob.
"And I'll have a Mountain Dew", Seth decided.
Rob walked away.
"Seth this place is really great", Summer said.
"Well, I've always prided myself on being a great restaurant picker", Seth said sarcastically.
Summer smiled and gave Seth a quick peck on the lips.
"Cohen", Summer said playfully. "Shut it!"
*********************************************
Marissa pulled away from Ryan.
"Don't you think we should be hanging out with Seth and Summer", Marissa questioned. "I mean, this is a vacation and we can do this anytime. How often are we going to be in Tahiti without our parents, with our two best friends in the world?"
"I agree that we could and should get out of this room but maybe you and I could do something alone", Ryan suggested. "Something, which as much as I hate to say, does not involve making out.
"Okay. I guess", Marissa said mock disappointedly.
The two of them got off the bed and Marissa went to the bathroom to apply her makeup while Ryan looked up the hotel activities.
"Mariss, do you want to play tennis or go canoeing?" Ryan hollered through the bathroom door.
"Umm… how about tennis", Marissa decided.
"Okay, that's cool", Ryan said.
Marissa emerged from the bathroom, looking stunning as usual. Her eye shadow was done in such a way that it looked as if it had been done by a professional stylist. Ryan walked over to Marissa and gave her kiss on the lips.
"You look great", Ryan complimented.
"Why thank you", Marissa said.
"So, if your ready let's go", Ryan said. "Our tennis reservation is for 1:30 and right now its noon so we have about an hour and a half before we need to be at the courts. So we can go have lunch if you want."
"Sure", Marissa agreed.
Marissa and Ryan walked over to Summer and Seth's bungalow where a note was taped to the door. The note read-
"Ryan and Marissa-
Summer and I are going to lunch and then snorkeling. We will be back around 3:30. Meet you back here at 7:00 for dinner. Have fun today.
-Seth"
"Well I guess we're on our own today", Marissa concluded.
The two walked hand in hand back to the main lobby and entered the L' Astrolabe bar and restaurant. One of the three restaurants that was available for dining at the Le Meridian hotel.
"Wow this place is great", Marissa said as they entered the restaurant.
Ryan walked up to the Maitre'de station.
"Party of two", Ryan stated.
"Right this way", the man said, while leading them to a secluded table in the corner of the restaurant.
The two ordered and the rest of the lunch went by uneventfully, just the normal talk and the occasional kiss here and there. They paid for their food and walked to the recreation building.
"1:30 reservation for Atwood", Ryan said as he walked up to the counter.
"You have one hour on the courts", the man said as he handed Ryan two rackets, a tube of balls and a key to the court.
"Thanks", Marissa said.
Ryan and Marissa walked down the hill to the tennis courts and entered court 5. Marissa walked to the far side of the court. After only playing for about three minutes it was clear that Marissa sucked at tennis. Ryan walked over to the other side of the court and helped Marissa with her swing. He took her arm in his hand and showed her how to swing the racket, both backhand and forehand. Then he showed her how to line up her shot. Marissa was clearly grateful, because she thanked him with a loving kiss. They started to get carried away when Ryan pulled away.
"No making out. Remember?"
"Yah", Marissa said disappointedly.
They played for about thirty more minutes, Ryan walking over to Marissa's side of the court every few minutes to "help" her. At 2:30 they got of the court and took the shuttle bus back up the hill to the recreation building. They returned their rackets and headed to the drink machine.
"What do you want", Ryan asked Marissa.
"I'll just have some water", Marissa decided.
Ryan put the dollar bill in the slot and pushed the button for water. The drink fell and Marissa took it out of the slot. Then he put in another dollar and pressed the button for a coke. He reached down, retrieved his drink and he and Marissa walked out of the building to the bench outside. They sat down and Ryan put his arm around her.
"That was fun", Ryan said truthfully.
"Yah, it was", Marissa stated.
Ryan leaned in and their lips met. They shared a passionate kiss that lasted about ten seconds. Then they got up and walked hand in hand back to their room.
*****************************************************
Seth and Summer stood in line waiting to get their snorkeling equipment. They stepped forward a few steps as the line moved, while talking about what they thought Ryan and Marissa were doing right then.
"Hmm… I'd guess either making out on the bed, or making out on the sofa", Summer assumed.
"Good guess, but I don't think that they would do that all day", Seth stated.
"Whatev, Cohen", Summer gave in. "If you want to be right then, fine"
Seth smiled smugly. "I'm glad you see it my way."
They stepped up to the counter and were each handed a pair of flippers and a mask. The two walked over to the area where they had laid their towels and Summer proceeded to take off her Prada shirt and Dolce and Gabanna shorts revealing her bikini underneath. Even on vacation summer had to dress in the best designer fashions. Seth took of his shirt and the two walked down to the water's edge. They each put on their flippers and perched their masks on their heads and then waded into deeper water. When they were out about twenty feet they pulled their masks onto their faces.
"Seth, do you think you could hold my hand", Summer requested. "I don't want to like float out to sea or anything and not know it."
Seth chuckled. "Summer you don't just float out to sea. But because I know hoe violent you can get with your rage blackouts and all , I will oblige."
Seth took her hand and they kicked their way around the beautiful Tahitian coral reef for about thirty minutes. They headed back to shore and walked up the beach to their camp. Summer dried off and laid down on her towel facedown.
"Ok then, since you are obviously not going to be getting up anytime soon, I'll go return the equipment", Seth offered.
Summer didn't respond. She just flipped her sunglasses over her eyes waved her hand in Seth direction.
*************************************************
"So Ry, do you wanna go swimming", Marissa said as they entered their luxurious hotel room.
"Yah, sure", Ryan said. "That sounds good."
Marissa dug through her suitcase, just as Summer had done trying to pick a bathing suit.
"If you don't mind me saying, could you please speed it up here", Ryan said. "I've been dressed for ten minutes and you haven't even picked out a bathing suit yet."
"Sorry", Marissa apologized. "Fine you pick one out and what ever you pick I'll wear. I Promise."
Ryan dug through her bathing suits for about ten seconds then came back with a Gucci halter top bikini with pink flowers and palm trees on it.
"Hmm…" Marissa said as she studied the garment for a second. "Good choice."
Marissa went into the bathroom with the bikini and came out changed and ready to go. Ryan grabbed his room key and they both exited the suite. Just as they were walking out, Summer and Seth walked up.
"Hey", Seth greeted. "Finally decided to leave the room I see?"
"Seth", Marissa said. "We did not just leave the room. We already played tennis and we were just about to go to the pool. Do you guys wanna come?"
"Yah, sure Coop", Summer said. "Just let me go change really fast." And with that Summer walked away.
"Seth man. Don't believe her when she says she'll be really fast. Ryan informed him. "You need to go pick a bathing suit for her. Because if Marissa is any indication, Summer will be in there twenty minutes if someone doesn't help her."
"Gotcha. Good advice bro", Seth said as he walked back to the room.
Marissa and Ryan sat down by the pond and talked for about five minutes when Seth and Summer walked back outside.
"Cohen, why did you make me wear this bathing suit?" Summer questioned. "It's ugly."
"Summer, if it was ugly then why did you buy it?" Seth asked.
Summer scoffed. "Whatever. Let's just go."
The four of them walked to the pool and jumped in quickly. The cool water felt good on their bodies but after a while got a little chilly and they decided to get in the hot tub. Summer scooted closer to Seth and he put his arm around her. Ryan did the same with Marissa.
"So, where do you guys want to eat tonight?" Ryan inquired.
"How 'bout La Plantation", Seth suggested. "I heard they have a Polynesian dance show on Friday and Saturday."
"That's cool with me", Marissa agreed.
"Yah sure", Summer said.
"Ok then. It's settled. So we'll meet you guys outside the bungalow at 6:30", Ryan said.
The four of them got out of the pool and walked back to their room to relax and get ready for dinner. When Seth and Summer got back to their room Summer flopped down on the bed and didn't move.
"Summer aren't you going to go take a shower or something?" Seth asked.
"Oh, uh, I'll do it later", Summer said.
"That's weird", Seth thought. "She usually always needs a lot of time to dress and put on make up and stuff before we go out."
"Summer are you ok", Seth asked.
"Yah, I'm fine", Summer said a little drowsily. "My stomach just feels weird that's all."
"Are you sure you still want to go dinner?" Seth asked.
But she didn't have time to answer because she was running to the bathroom clutching her stomach. She made it to the bathroom just in time before she vomited. Seth followed her and held her hair back for her while she emptied her stomach of its contents. Summer sat back against the bathroom wall and stared at Seth helplessly.
"Maybe you got food poisoning or something", Seth suggested. "I'll go tell Ryan and Marissa that we are not going to dinner with them."
"Seth you don't have to stay", Summer said groggily. "You can go to dinner with them."
"Summer, you are my girlfriend and you're sick. It's my obligation to stay and take care of you", Seth declared.
"Thanks", Summer said as she gave him a weak smile.
Seth exited the bathroom. Summer stood up and wiped her mouth off and brushed her teeth.
"Are you all minty fresh now", Seth asked her as she emerged from the bathroom.
"Seth can I talk to you?" Summer asked
"Sure. What's up?"
