The Meeting

"What did Summer want with you?" Seth asked suspiciously.

"She's bringing Marissa over," replied Ryan as he sat up.

Seth looked at Ryan, "Why?"

"I'm guessing to try and get us back together." Ryan replied.

"If you really don't know why your not with her and you love her," Seth started, "then maybe you should be with her."

Ryan just walked over to his drawers and pulled out a navy blue shirt and put it on over his wife beater. He looked at Seth with a puzzled look.

"Summer," Marissa said quietly.

"Coop," Summer interjected, "you need to be with him. Chino and you belong together!"

"I wasn't going to fight with you," Marissa said quietly. "I just want you and Seth to leave Ryan and I alone in the Pool house."

"Why?" asked Summer.

I need to do this on my own," Marissa responded.

"Alright," Summer said smiling.

The rest of the ride to the Cohen house was quiet. Summer wondered what Marissa had planned, and Marissa was trying to think up a plan. It wouldn't be easy for them.

"Hello?" Seth answered his cell.

"Cohen," Summer said, "leave the Pool house. Meet me in your living room."

"Yes, my queen," Seth said sarcastically and hung up.

"What was that about?" asked Ryan as he walked out of the bathroom.

"Summer wants me to meet her inside the house," Seth explained.

"I'll go with you…" Ryan started to say.

Seth spotted Marissa running toward the Pool house. "Nope, Marissa's coming in here."

Ryan looked out one of the windows and saw Marissa running toward the Pool house. She seemed very down and sad. Ryan couldn't help but feel guilty.

Seth walked out, leaving the door open. Ryan went and laid down on his bed. Marissa walked in the door and closed it behind her. She looked at him for a moment, walked over to his bed and sat down. He moved his hand toward her waist, and pulled her closer to him.

He sat up, and Marissa gave him a big hug. Surprisingly to her, he didn't pull away. He hugged back, and kissed her neck softly. This caught her completely off guard, but she didn't want to pull away.

Ryan pulled away enough to look her in the eyes, and she told him, "I missed you."

It was a few moments before Ryan responded, "I've missed you too."

After a few moments of looking into each other's eyes, Ryan pulled Marissa to him and kissed her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, not letting him push away. He never even tried to.

"I realized that you cared," said Ryan, his blue eyes watering with tears. "When you showed up to the party after helping Theresa with clothes… it proved to me that you weren't going to give up, and how much you really cared."

Marissa smiled. She slowly shoved him back, till he laid down on the bed. She fell on top of him, Ryan just smiled. She wrapped her arms around his neck again and began kissing him. All he did was kiss back. This felt right, the only thing that felt right.

There was a knock at the door, Seth and Summer barged in. They both smiled when they saw Ryan and Marissa. Ryan simply raised his right hand, motioning them to leave.

Summer turned to Seth, and whispered, "Your room, now."

Seth simply took Summer's hand and pulled her out of the Pool house. Ryan rolled over on top of Marissa. She smiled, he rubbed his hand along her side, then her belly. She just pulled on his shirt to kiss him more. They later just laid on his bed, Ryan holding Marissa.

"I love you," Marissa said just before falling asleep.

"I love you too," replied Ryan, kissing her neck.

They fell asleep. They slept well that night. They both were happy again. They know they should be together, and that's how they were.

That's chapter two! I will wait for 10 reviews before I post the next chapter! Thanks for all those reading!
