Chapter 2, Engaged
It was nearly 10 in the morning on Saturday and Marissa was getting up. Ryan lay asleep next to her, so she was quite, as not to wake him from his slumber. Since Summer was coming over, Marissa had to shower and had to clean the house up a bit, it had gotten a little messy. First she went into the kitchen and made some coffee and decided on a bagel, which was Ryan's favorite breakfast food. After that, she picked up then house making it look a little neat, took a shower, then got dressed.
Meanwhile, Seth was at his dorm room across the country packing. He was almost done, and it was a good thing, it had been driving him crazy. He didn't have all that much here, all the furniture belonged to the dorm, and the bedding he didn't care about. Still, there was a lot of junk that had accumulated over the years. As he finished emptying the closet he found a pink shirt. It was from Abercrombie and Fitch. He knew it was Summer's. From one of those times she used to always sleepover. Usually, they just talked, but some nights it went a little bit further. Seth smiled remembering those nights. Tears formed a little in his eyes. He really didn't want to act like this, he never cried, it just hurt so much. Before, he knew Summer was gone, but he had been so busy with classes, and the bar exam, he never really had time to think about. The past two weeks had been when it hit him the most, and finding her shirt, reminded him of all the times they spent together.
Since the break up, he hadn't called her. Honestly at the time, he didn't even think of it, but the past two weeks he would stare at his cell phone, seeing Summer in his contacts and wanting to press send, but for some reason couldn't. He wondered is she even knew of his return to California.
It was now getting close to noon and Marissa sat in the living room on an olive green leather couch, watching the flat screen TV. She kept it on one of the many Lifetime channels and watched it. It was about an abusive husband and his wife. How surprising, all the movies where the same, eating disorders, abuse, self esteem issues. Thankfully, Summer got there soon after and saved Marissa from watching this pointless movie.
There was a knock on the door; Marissa got up to answer it, their small dog, of the pug breed named Molly, followed. It was still little; they had just gotten it a month ago. They both wanted a dog, Ryan had wanted a big one, but Marissa really wanted this one, so Ryan was okay with it and let her have it.
"Hey Summer, come in."
Summer saw the small dog and pat it a few times, "Aw how cute! What's her name?"
Marissa smiled, "Molly."
The pug snorted and Summer stood up again, "Ew!"
Marissa just laughed, "So do you want something to eat or something?"
"No, I think I am set for now, just a bottle of water, or something will be fine."
Summer sat herself on the couch, the room was spacious with a bay window, and huge flat screen TV, with a DVD player under it, the carpet was an off white, and the walls olive green, similar to the couch.
Marissa came in with two bottles of Evian water, and sat down on the char, across from the couch.
"So you must be excited that Seth is coming back, tomorrow night, right Sum?"
She spit out the sip of water she had in her mouth, "What? He is coming back! I didn't know that!"
"Oh god, I didn't know. He called Ryan last night, we thought it was going to be in a few weeks, but sure enough, tomorrow night."
"Are you serious? I had no idea of this. Why is he coming back?"
"Both Seth and Ryan are going to work under Sandy's law firm."
"Oh, well, that does make sense."
Marissa added slightly hesitant, "Do you think there is a chance with you and him getting back together? Wasn't it the distance?"
Summer sighed, "I would like to say there will be. I will take him back any day; he is all I think about. It really was the distance, when I lived in NYC, I saw him every weekend, and a few week nights, it was the best thing ever."
"Well, if know Seth, he is probably still obsessed with you, and the reason he didn't call is because he was shy."
Summer smiled, "Well that does sound like Cohen."
Then the two girls got to talking about Summer's job, and Marissa took detailed notes, it got to be about an hour and half of talking, when they heard the bed room door open.
"Marissa, you weren't there when I woke up, was the congratulation sex last night, not good or something?" He said laughing, as he walked into to see Marissa and Summer siting on the couch. He hadn't known that Summer was there.
Marissa turned a shade of red, and so did he, but to make him feel less embarrassed about what just happened she got up, and kissed him, "No, it could never be bad, I just had to get up for Summer."
Summer kind of looked away, but she was laughing to herself this was kind of funny, "EW!" Summer screeched.
Summer and Marissa finished up, then around three, Summer decided to leave. Marissa gave her a hug, "Wow, well you HAVE to stop by again! Come over any weekend!"
"Yeah I will, um, can you give me a call when Cohen gets in?"
Marissa nodded, "Of course."
Summer left a few minutes after.
"Alright, well I am going to go get ready for dinner," Marissa gave Ryan a kiss, and she walked into the bedroom.
Ryan went outside with the cell phone; he had to make a call. He wanted to do everything right, with asking Marissa to marry him, so he called her dad to ask "permission". He was just thankful, it as her dad he had to call and not her mom.
It rang a few times and Haley, who Jimmy had married a few years ago answered the phone, "Hey, is Mr. Cooper there?"
"Yeah, who is this?" She asked, kind of recognizing the voice.
"Yeah, it's Ryan."
"Oh! I should have known that! Yeah hold on!"
A few minutes later, he came to the phone, Ryan was a little nervous, but he knew it had to be done, "Hey, Mr. Cooper how are you?"
"Um, I'm fine, if everything ok? It's kind of unusual for you to call."
"Everything if fine, I was just, well I was planning on taking Marissa out for dinner tonight, since I passed my bars and everything yesterday, and I was going to ask her to marry me. I was basically just asking, making sure it was ok."
"Yeah, I think you're great for Marissa. I am totally fine with that. Congratulations on passing, by the way. Well have fun tonight."
"Thanks. Yeah, well talk to you later".
Ryan closed the phone and walked in, to go get dressed. He decided on a pair of khaki paints, and a light blue shirt. While Marissa was in the bathroom, putting makeup on and such, he grabbed the box from the drawer, double checked to make sure the ring was in there, and put it in his pocket.
Ryan sat down on the couch and waited for Marissa, looking at his watch a couple of times. He decided to bring her to the Ivory, he thought it would be perfect for the occasion. Though normally, he was a little conservative about his money, he wanted tonight to be perfect.
Then she came out. She looked gorgeous. Her hair was down, with a slight wave at the bottom. She wore a light pink tank top and black mini skirt. She looked just as pretty, if not more so, since the first day he saw her, waiting for Luke to pick her up.
"Sorry I took so long! I couldn't find my eye liner!" Marissa explained to him.
"No problem at all, take your time."
"Well I am ready now, so shall we?" She asked looking towards the door.
"Yeah of course!" The held each other hands while they walked out to the door.
He opened the door of the silver BMW for her. They drove for about an hour to get the Ivory. He didn't tell her where they were going or anything about the night.
When they got there, she was excited, because it had been a really long time since she was last here.
He held the door for her getting inside, and pulled her chair out for here and everything.
They ordered some drinks and appetizer; it was after they had ordered the main course he decided to do it.
"Now, for the reason I brought you here,"
"Isn't this a congratulation dinner, for you?" Marissa asked a little puzzled.
"No, not at all. Besides, you don't need to congratulate me; you helped me out, a lot. But it was more on that thing, I wanted to ask you, well talk to you about."
Marissa nodded, "Alright, go on then! You're killing me here! Is it bad?"
"Well, we've been together for a while, since high school, and living together has gone really well. I can talk to you about anything, and I love you so much. I have felt this way for a really long time, but I have always had school or exams in my way. Marissa, will you marry me?" He pulled out the ring and got on his knees.
Water filled in Marissa's eyes, and she smiled, "Yeah, of course I will! I love you so much Ryan."
He put the ring on her finger. It was a platinum band with a huge pear shaped diamond in the middle, with two smaller side stones.
She had never felt this happy before. She just couldn't stop smiling.
Summer was at home now, a lone, looking at her phone. She wanted to call Seth so much. She just didn't understand why he didn't call her and let he know he was coming back. No more being a chicken, tomorrow she was going to call, but it was getting kind of late, so she decided not to.
Seth even though he was across the country was doing the same exact thing. He wanted to call her, but he wasn't even sure if she would want to talk to him, or if she would even care that he was coming back home. Tomorrow, he wanted to call, before he left, but he didn't know if he would be able to. He decided to go for a walk, he had a lot to get off his mind.
A/N: Next chapter will have a lot more Seth/Summer for the fans of that couple. Because they will talk and by doing that reunite with each other. Well you know what to do, REVIEW!
---Also, I fixed chapter 1, because I did make a mistake on the location of Yale! I am really sorry about that! Thank you, whoever it was, for pointing it out.
