Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always some reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memories seep from my veins
let me be empty
oh and weightless then maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
Ryan and Marissa had been walking the unfamiliar streets of New York City for quite some time, looking for the perfect restaurant. They both thought it would be nice to eat at a quaint, little restaurant that captured a hint of romance... since they didn't do many romantic things back in New Port, where there's to many people worrying about everyone, but themselves.
As, Marissa walked beside Ryan, holding his hand, she thought of how she had made a bad choice to wear heels on their little adventure. Once she couldn't stand the pain in her feet anymore she decided to speak up. "Ryan...We've been walking for quite sometime now and well, my feet are about to fall off because I've been walking around in these heels..." she said tiredly.
"Marissa, I don't think I would be able to walk around in these heels either, but if you insist on trading shoes I guess I could..." Ryan said sarcastically, as he began to take off his shoes to give to her.
"No...Babe, I don't want to wear your shoes, I was thinking more along the lines of a piggy back ride?!?" she asked, half heartedly.
"Oh...Well, I guess I have been hanging around Seth to long," he said referring to the joke he made earlier.
"Yeah, actually you have," she replied.
"Well, one thing Seth wouldn't be able to do is give Summer a piggy back ride...You know he's not manly enough, so I guess that means I'll have to give you a ride," he said jokingly, but with a bit of sexiness in his voice, as well.
"Yep, I guess you will..." she said as she jumped onto his back, with her shoes in hand.
Those who passed Ryan and Marissa might have thought it was ridiculous to see two teens acting like children... Others might have been in awe of the deep feelings they felt for each other, by the way they looked at one another...But, to Ryan and Marissa it didn't matter what anyone thought because they were having the best time of their lives...after all, they were together!
In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you feel
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
"There Ryan, this place is perfect..." Marissa said, pointing to a small, yet very unique diner to their right.
"Yeah, it looks great...." he said, as he set Marissa down. The couple both smiled at each other and then walked into the diner, hand in hand.
The restaurant was very classic looking, but also had a bit of New York flare as well. There were many booths and tables scattered throughout the room. As, they looked around they saw many people who were casually, talking and enjoying what looked like delicious food.
"Hi...are the two of you dining here tonight?" one of the worker's asked.
"Umm... yes," Ryan replied.
"Okay, great," the woman replied as she grabbed two menus and led them to a table that was by a window over looking the pleasant streets of New York City.
"The waitress will be right with you,"
"Thanks," Marissa replied. "So........what do you want to do after this???" she asked suspiciously.
"Well, we could watch TV... or you know talk about our plans tomorrow... or we could......"
"Yeah, that sounds good to me," she said, as a smile appeared across her face.
The waitress came and took their orders and they were left alone once again to talk and just gaze into each other's eyes. That's pretty much what they did throughout dinner... eat....share food....talk...laugh.....gaze into each others eyes....and well, sneak a kiss every once in a while.
Once they had paid Ryan and Marissa got up and left the restaurant. On the way back to the apartment Marissa was given another piggy back ride from Ryan and they just walked silently thinking about their night they still had ahead of them.
They got back to the apartment and Marissa went to change while Ryan let loose his romantic side. When Marissa was done in the bathroom she was shocked at what she saw... there were candles everywhere along with rose petals and every thing was perfect.
Marissa was speechless... "Wh....Wha....???"
"Shhhhhhh...." Ryan, said as he placed a finger over her lips. He began to kiss her softly and she responded, deepening the kiss.
So tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lies
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe
in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
They laid down on the bed and began what both of them had wanted for so long...they made love for the first time... with each other... Though it wasn't their first time it was the first time that felt real for them. They were with the one person they loved so much and would never stop loving.
The moment was perfect... that moment was perfect... because they had each other, and this was what they had always dreamed of...to deepen their relationship!
Later on that night, Ryan and Marissa both fell asleep with content smiles on their faces. But, before they had fallen asleep they didn't forget to mention to each other how much they loved one another.
They both slept the best they had ever slept that night because they were wrapped in each other's arms...they were being held in the arms of their angels...Ryan was Marissa's angel and Marissa was Ryan's angel.. and that's how it would always be!
In the arms of the angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you feel
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here
