She was getting impatient. Marissa knew that he said he would pick her up at 6:30...but he was supposed to want her earlier! She decided to call him.

It was only 12:00 and Ryan was already bored. He couldn't stand being around the house anymore! He knew that he said that he would pick her up at 6:30...but she was supposed to call him aleready! He had to call her. Just then the phone interrupted his thoughts.

"Hello?"

"Hey!"

Ryan was so relieved to hear her voice on the other end of the phone.



"Hey, I know we said that we were gonna do something at around six-" she started.

"-But I can't stand being without you anymore. You wanna do something now?" He cut in.

Ryan had read her thoughts. At that moment, she realized just how perfect they were for each other. Just that little sentence.

"Yeah, you read my mind!" She said excitedly.

He laughed quietly into the phone. She was so cute when she got excited. Actually, she was cute all the time. He didn't even have to see her face to know that.

"Ok, how 'bout I pick you up in a couple of minutes...and we go out to lunch?"

Marissa smiled into the phone, even though she knew Ryan couldn't see her. "Yeah, I'll be ready. See you in a few!"

"Ok. Bye." Ryan said.

She was now beaming. She was so happy to be with him again

He smiled and hung up the phone. Then Ryan walked out of the pool house. He told Sandy that he was going out to lunch with Marissa and that he would be back later.

Marissa was standing downstairs when he got there. She smiled at the sight of his black Range Rover. She walked over to his car and got in. He leaned over to kiss her. Both of them, never wanting to let go, sat there and kissed for about five minutes. Ryan pulled away, as he was out of breath, and spoke.

"Hi."

"Hi." Marissa smiled back.

He turned on the radio and started the car. They both decided on the cafe down the street for lunch. Most of the ride was silent, but then "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Deon came on. Ryan reached over to change the station. Marissa turned it back on.

"Hey! I like that song!" Marissa said, playfully.

"Okay, fine, we can listen to it." Ryan said.

He knew that he could beat any guy in any fight-- here or Chino, but this was one fight that he knew he wouldn't win. They both were quiet while listening to the song.

*Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you, That is how I know you go on…*

Marissa thought about this…and it turned out that it helped her. She wanted Ryan to hear the song…because that was what she felt about him. This was how she could explain how she felt. She figured Ryan knew that too.

*Near, far, wherever you are I believe that the heart does go on…*

Ryan was starting to feel over whelmed. It was like this song was meant for him. Just then he felt Marissa take his hand. He held it back.

*Once more you open the door, and you're here in my heart and, my heart will go on and on…*

At this, Marissa felt tears forming in her eyes, and her throat felt like she had a she couldn't breathe.

Ryan looked over at her. She was crying.

"I can turn this off if you want…" He said looking at the radio.

"No, it's ok. I like this song." She said quietly, forcing out the words.

*Love can touch us one time, and last for a lifetime, and never let go till we're one…*

Ryan looked over and smiled at her. She smiled back.



"I love you so much." He said looking into her eyes.



"I love you too, Ry. More than you can imagine." She said, crying even harder.

"I'm always gonna love you. We're always gonna be together." He said.



"Yeah, I know." She said, looking down. Then she looked up at him.

He smiled, and then started to laugh a little.



"What's so funny?" She asked, a little too loudly.



"It's just, your so beautiful Marissa. I don't know how I got lucky enough to have you. You make me so happy, and I just-- I--" He couldn't finish his sentence. He started to laugh lightly again. "I guess my mom did do something good after all. I mean, if it weren't for her giving me up to the Cohens…well, you know"

Marissa smiled at him. She knew that he was totally serious. They pulled up to the restaurant. Then she wiped her eyes, as Ryan opened her door for her. She kissed him, like she had never kissed anyone before. This was the best day of her life.

Ryan took her hand, and they walked in together.
