When Ryan awoke the next morning, Marissa was not there. Although nothing had really happened between Ryan and Theresa, Marissa seemed gloomy and distant. She slept on the opposite side of the bed, and Ryan did not want to push her.

Suddenly, he heard a key in the slot, and when the door opened, he was happy to see Marissa.

"Hey baby, where ya been?"

"Ohh, me and Summer went for a quickie shopping thing. I'm gonna take a shower"

She dropped her bags and walked into the luxurious bathroom. She turned on the shower, and shed her Seven Jeans and casual green top. When she hopped in, the water was still cold. She heard a noise at outside.

She was soon joined by Ryan. She loved her showers with Ryan. Time to make up. The door opened, and Ryan appeared naked. Steam flowing from the shower now, he embraced Marissa.

He knew that she was hurt, but he assured her that there was nobody else for him. They had each other in the steamy shower, water pouring over their bodies. Marissa knew everything was going to be ok, and let down her wall that she had put up last night. She smiled, and Ryan laughed.

"That's the girl I remember"

The next few days were filled with playing golf at gorgeous courses, tanning on spacious beaches, shopping at the finest stores, dining at 5 star restaurants, and lots of love between both couples. Theresa was nowhere to be seen, thank God!

A big bash was planned on Friday, and they planned to leave for home at Newport Beach on Sunday. Everyone was going to be there. Marissa and Summer had already picked out their party dressed at a trendy boutique called With it.

The night of the party, Ryan and Seth waited for their ladies in the lobby.

"What is taking them so long?" Seth exclaimed.

"You know... um... girl things" Ryan said.

"Right, right"

About five minutes later, they heard a DING and the elevator doors glided open. The girls looked great. Summer was wearing a tight silky yellow dress with an orange flower pinned on the strap, and an orange lai wrapped around her neck. Marissa, as always, looked stunning. She was wearing a dazzling white sundress that clung to her hips in all the right places. The skirt gently flowed to her tanned thighs and she wore a pink flower in her perfect wavy hair.

"Wow..." Ryan thought

"How do I look Cohan? This is a thanks for last night!" Summer said.

"Ha...ha...ha...yea" He was speechless. "Just stand there for a second so I can stare at you"

Summer spun as Marissa approached Ryan.

"You look great" he said.

"So do you, let's go party!"

They worked their way to the front of the hotel, where they hopped in a limo and were whisked off to the party of the season.

The four friends climbed out of the limousine, and strolled into the party at a gorgeous house on the coast of the island. Marissa grabbed some champagne and handed a glass to Ryan.

"To us..." she toasted.

They clinked their glasses and knocked back their drinks. Tonight, Marissa was planning on having a good time, and drinking was a part of that. It wasn't that she needed it to have a good time, but it just made everything more free flowing in her.

"Lets go dance!" she said to Ryan.

"Nahh, I'm going to go mingle, you two go!" he said, looking at Summer. "Me and Seth will just go check out the guest list"

"Good idea, you don't wanna see me dance" said Seth

The girls worked their way through onto the crowded dance floor. Marissa really felt the music, and her and Summer danced like maniacs! What fun!

Back with Ryan and Seth, they found a spot to sit. Ryan searched the crowd for Marissa, and saw her and Summer wildly dancing and having a great time. He smiled as he saw her. She really was the apple of his eye.

All the sudden, Ryan felt a tap on his shoulder. "HEYYY"

Just guess.... It was Theresa again!

"God, what do you want" Ryan said in an annoyed voice.

"Just to talk"

"Talk then"

"I just want to say sorry for kissing you, it pissed off your new girlfriend and I was wrong ok... friends?"

"Um... ok?"

"Here, I'll grab you some champagne" Theresa said as she walked off for a few seconds to catch a waiter.

"Dude, what was that?" Seth asked.

"I have no idea"

"I don't trust that girl Ryan. Watch out for her"

"Yea, yea"

Ryan didn't see it, but at the table next to him, Theresa was doing so not so good stuff. She had grabbed some champagne for Ryan, and dropped a suspicious looking pill into it. I think we all know what that meant. She approached the table with a grin on her face.

"Here ya go, and Ryan, you gotta come see this" She said

Seth shot Ryan a suspicious look, but he ignored it. "Alrighty" he said. "I'll be back in a few" he said to Seth.

They made their way towards the middle of the house, and Seth was interrupted by a girl who knocked a drink on him. Ryan was off his mind for now.
