A/N- thanks for the reviews! I'm glad y'all like it, here's chapter 2 enjoy…
Disclaimer- again, nothing is mine.
The world around them didn't matter. The need to be closer was overwhelming. Clothes were just getting in the way, Summer reached for his belt buckle and her hands couldn't move fast enough. Ryan was moving his hand slowly up her shirt; every time he got this far with Marissa she always moved his hand back down. But Summer didn't stop him, he thought that he might actually get to see the prize inside the box so to speak, a rather big, perky prize. They kept kissing like they needed to in order to live, but just as Ryan's hand was going to do some in depth exploring Summer started to pull away.
"No, no, no, we can't do this!" she said breathing heavily and pushing him away. "Coop is like my best friend, and, and Your girlfriend, I can't- won't do this. If she found out she would freak, like Tijuana freak, and I don't want to go through that again, this isn't worth losing my best friend over." She rambled out trying to make herself believe it.
"Yeah, no, you're right…. It was just a…. a moment of weakness." Ryan said disappointedly zipping up his pants, and looking for his shirt.
"Totally, I mean you love Marissa and I love Se- I mean Marissa too and this was just wrong." She stammered hoping he wouldn't catch what she almost said.
He looked at her but decided now wasn't the time to bring up what almost slipped out of her mouth.
"You're right, I love Marissa, and uh…. she's your friend and yeah this was a bad Idea." He thought about what he said, did he really love Marissa? He wasn't sure, but decided he would think about it later, because he couldn't think about that now all that was running through his mind was throwing Summer on his bed and showing her just how much of a bad idea he really thought it was.
"Right, well…umm I'm gonna leave now," She stood up and smoothed out the wrinkles in her skirt and fixed her hair. "But thanks for letting me read with you." And with that she grabbed her book and left.
Ryan stood up and ran his fingers through his hair. He sighed, turned around, grabbed a towel and went into the bathroom. Some things would never change, he was horny hard, and left to handle his problem alone. A cold, cold shower sounded really good about now.
"So Coop, what did you do last night?" Summer asked flipping through her closet looking for something to wear.
"Oh I went to a spa with my mom." Marissa tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear.
"Huh… really, cuz' I went to your mom's house last night to see if you wanted to hang out, and she said that she didn't know where you were." Summer turned around and looked at her curiously.
"Well I… uh went with her earlier in the day and then went out with some friends." She said fidgeting with her purse.
"Marissa, what friends? Me and Ryan are like your only friends and you weren't hanging out with us last night, so where the hell were you?" Summer could tell Marissa was lying because of the way she kept shifting her weight back and forth. Something wasn't right, Marissa wasn't telling the whole truth.
She knew she was cornered, it was time to tell her best friend the truth, besides she would understand and she knew her secret would be save with her. "I met someone in therapy, and we went out and had some dinner together."
Oh, great. Didn't she learn anything from the last time she started hanging out with a kid she met from therapy? Obviously not, Summer hoped she was trying to be funny, and then realized that Marissa didn't really know how to be funny. So she was definitely being serious. "Coop…. You do remember Oliver, don't you? You know, the crazy kid you met in therapy? Please tell me your not seriously hanging out with crazy people again."
Marissa laughed at that statement. "No Sum, actually he's not from therapy, his sister is in therapy and he just came to pick her up one day. We started talking and got to know each other and we've been hanging out sometimes."
"Oh… well does Ryan know about this? I'm not sure he would be too thrilled."
"Well…. I … I can't tell him, he'll get jealous and start a fight. I mean it's not like we're fooling around behind his back or anything we just talk sometimes."
"Coop, I may be shallow but I'm not stupid. If you really are into this guy, then you should let Ryan go, I'm sure there's a lot of girls out there who would love to get in his pool house." Summer said, thinking about what happened last night.
"No Sum, I don't wanna do that. I love him, you know that." She said biting her bottom lip.
"Right, well just get your feelings straightened out and do something because Ryan doesn't deserve to be treated that way." Marissa nodded and gave Summer a smile.
Love, did he really love her? Sure he took care of her anytime she needed it. But was it love? It couldn't be love, the relationship was too one sided. He did everything for her, and never got much in return. So he cared about her, but love? Nah- he knew from watching Kirsten and Sandy that what he and Marissa had wasn't love. Maybe he just stayed with her because he had a hero complex. He couldn't help it; he'd been that way since he met Stacie Park in the third grade. She was a nice, pretty girl; her and Ryan would sit together during lunch and talk. Nothing serious, but it seemed to make her happy. One day they had to do a project together, and when Ryan suggested they do it at her house she freaked. He found out later that her dad was a drug addict and her mom was a drunk who threw Stacie around sometimes. The first time he saw a bruise on her face was when he decided to take care of her. And the rest was history. He didn't love Stacie, he was too young to, but he did love the idea of having someone to take care of, and that's was attracted him to Marissa.
It was around 11:30 at night when he saw her shadow on the door. She came in saw him lying on the bed and crawled up in his arms, while he played with her hair. "Hey, I missed you last night." he said kissing the top of her head.
Marissa moved in closer. "Yeah, hanging with my mom wasn't exactly my idea of fun." "So what did you end up doing, without me?" she asked
"Uhh…. Nothing much just sat around and read." Thinking of the way Summer's lips felt on his made him shiver, he hoped she didn't notice.
"Sounds about as much fun as hanging with my mom all day." she said trying not to feel guilty.
"It really wasn't that bad… Summer reading can be pretty exciting, if you do it right," he said with half smile.
And with that Ryan began to drift off to sleep, still thinking about Summer. Marissa thought he looked too peaceful to bother him. She'd bring up the boy she met tomorrow, if she remembered.
A/N so there ya go another chapter….. There will be more R/S in upcoming chapters, I just gotta figure out exactly how to get Marissa out of the picture, if you have any ideas please tell me. I'd love to her some from you.
