Chapter 16

Ryan went back inside his and Marissa's hotel suite to pack. He plugged in his cell phone to recharge it. He picked up the phone and tried giving Seth a call, maybe he would help him and explain everything to Marissa, that is if he would believe him.

"Ryan what you did really hurt Marissa" was all Seth repeated to him.

"Seth! You have to believe me! I didn't want to have sex with Theresa! SHE DRUGGED ME!" was all Ryan could yell into the phone.

"Look pal, I want to believe you, but Marissa saw you. She saw Theresa naked on top of you. There's nothing else I can say." Seth replied.

"But I..I..."

"I'll give you a call later, in the mean time you should probably think about some things" Seth said.

Seth hung up the phone and walked over to Marissa who was crying on Summer's shoulder.

"What did he say?" Marissa said between huffs of crying.

"He still says Theresa drugged him and that he didn't want to do have sex with her" Seth told her.

Marissa took to herself for a moment and thought about this whole situation. "I just need some time alone" she replied. She got up from the couch and went outside the hotel.

"Ryan, where are ya? We were looking all over for you" Seth said through the phone.

"I just got off the plane" Ryan replied.

"Plane? Buddy stop kidding around meet us at the Ritz for a little fancy smancy dinner...you can bring Theresa since you guys seem to be together now" Seth said half joking around.

"Can't" Ryan said.

"And your reason for that is...?"

"I'm in Newport, and I'm not "with" Theresa, that bitch has done enough to screw up my life, I never want to talk to her again" Ryan told Seth.

"What are you doing in Newport Ryan? The least you could have told us was that you were leaving a day early...You could have just left today with us you know"

"Yeah...but then I would have to face Marissa...and right now I don't think she wants to see me." Ryan told Seth almost sounding depressed.

Seth finished up the conversation quickly. "Okay, well I guess we will see you tonight then" Seth said, and then their telephone conversation ended.

Seth was alone in the hotel room, Summer and Marissa had gone to waste another few grand on shopping in Waikiki before they left in a few hours.

"Coop...Maybe you should listen to Ryan...I mean he wouldn't do that to you. He loves you" Summer told her.

"Sum, you don't understand. There was another women on top of him naked...He had promised..."

Summer just gave her a sad look and then tried to cheer her up by mentioning the 1/2 price sale at Je T'aime. The two finished up and went back to meet with Seth before leaving to the airport.

When Ryan arrived back to the Cohen Residence in Newport, he felt a sigh of relieve. Kirsten and Sandy were no where to be seen. They probably went out for the day Ryan thought to himself.

He went to the pool house, luggage in hand.

His bed was neatly made, and the room was spotless. Kirsten must have cleaned it before he was coming back tonight. He set his luggage down on the bed and went to his dresser .He took the things he would only need the most: A few wife-beaters, a few pair of pants, socks plus toiletries. He didn't even bother to write a note, there was too much on his mind to take the time to write one.

He grabbed his bag and then he was gone...
