The Decision Chapter 4
Ryan paced around his study it was almost midnight. He didn't know if he could date. He loved Marissa he had loved Marissa since he was 17. He had left her for Theresa and then Theresa had Miscarried. He had Met Kelly in College. Marissa had moved away to Phoenix when he had came home from Chino. So he didn't know how to contact her. He had always loved her. When he met Kelly he had decided Second Loves were better than first loves. He had Kelly had made a good life together. Alley had always had the nicest clothes and toys. Kelly grew up in New York and always missed the big City. So when Ryan suggested they moved to LA when they got married she jumped at the chance although they didn't live in a big house or a penthouse it had been a 19th Century Victorian which Kelly and him had fixed up. It was beautiful she has been beautiful. He got in his car. It was late but Alley would be ok by her self.
Vans town was where they had lived, it was small town outside of LA. He had loved living there. The roads were so familiar. He pulled up the Curb at 1081 Waldorf Drive. He saw the Mailbox had not been changed. "Atwood" was still painted on it.
It may have been dark but he could see dark blue shutters and tan Siding. He wished he could go inside and sit in there room. He then remembered he still owned it. He had not sold it yet. {MWHAHA I just thought I would be a little mushy sentimental but don't worry he is letting go. That is all. Marisa will do the same then they will live happily ever after Maybe.}
He unlocked the door the air smelled of dead flowers and must. He had not realized he needed to sell it. Ryan climbed the stairs to the Master Bedroom that him and Kelly had shared. It was a Light Tan Color. There Room had been a girlish form he still had all the bed stuff at his new house. He wished that Kelly hadn't had died.
He sat in the middle of the room.
"Oh, Kells, you know I love you. You know I will never forget you. I also know that you were not my true love. My True Love walked out of my life 17 years ago. I wish I could say that those 10 years I was married to you were bad. They weren't there were the best. They helped to stay grounded and safe. I will never forget you. "
He walked out of the room. He walked down the stairs and out of the house. He went home and the next day he planned on calling the realtor and putting the house up for sale.
Marissa looked at the time on her bedside clock Midnight. It can't be only midnight.
She had only been in bed staring at the ceiling for and hour. She decided she had to talk to somebody. She started talking to the air.
"Adam, I want you to know I love you. I also want you to know that Ryan Atwood was my only true love." She began to cry Adam was just like Ryan in so many ways. She stopped and just let it go. Adam was dead.
She released it all and fell asleep.
The next morning after Ryan called the Realtor. He was now officially released of Kelly.
He called Marissa.
"Hello." It was Julie Cooper.
"Is Marissa there?"
"Yes. Hold on please."
"Marissa sweetie phone."
"Who is it?"
"A" she looked down at the Phone.
"It's Ryan Atwood."
"Hello Ryan. When did you move back to Newport."
"A few weeks ago."
"We'll have to do lunch."
That was her excuse for everything.
"Hey ryan." Ryan could here her moving.
"Hold on a sec."
He heard heels on hardwood floor, a door open and close. The Walking finally stopped.
"Sorry I didn't want to talk around my mom."
"That's ok." Ryan said he knew how Julie Cooper hated him.
"So, How about Dinner?" She asked.
"My mom could take Vanessa."
"I guess I could ask mom and dad to babysit Alley."
"Better yet, I'll ask them to babysit Vanessa and you can ask them Ally that way they don't have to be bored."
"That's good and Vanessa won't be stuck with your dreadful mother."
"Yeah." Marissa said with a laugh.
"I'll pick you up at 7:00" Ryan said.
"Sounds Good."
"I am glad that you are back in my life Ryan Atwood."
They were sitting at a table in the back of Vincenzos a fancy Restaurant by the pier."
"Yeah I am glad you are back in my life Marissa Cooper." They kissed.
"Are you ready to order."
"Yes we'll have a bottle of your most expensive Champaign. And we'll each have the Filet Ming on."
"Great choice sir."
The waiter left them.
"Now where were we?" Ryan asked.
They began kissing.
"Man I have missed this."
"I know I missed it too."
"Your champagne sir.
Ryan got up. He went around to Marissa side of the table.
"Marissa Cooper. This is long over do." Ryan got down on one knee and pulled a black box out of his pocket.
"Marissa Cooper, I love you, will you marry me."
"Oh Yes, Ryan, Yes."
He slipped the ring on her slendor finger. "I love you too." She said.
She helped him up and stood up and they kissed.
