Sorry for the later update than usual. I was so busy with work that I just
had time to fit in this sort of short chapter. Please enjoy.
Chapter 6 Thank god for the Grandma
Marissa's grandmother was so glad she was home. She was about a few minutes away from calling the police. She ran up to her granddaughter and gave her a hug.
"Oh Marissa. You're back. I never thought you would return home. Gosh I was about to call the police to start looking for you."
"I'm fine. Please calm down."
"So where were you and why didn't you call?"
"I fell asleep on the beach. I guess I was more tired than I felt."
"Me and Ryan here were worried sick. He really thought something happened to you. I'll leave you two alone so you can talk while I go fix us something to eat. You must be starving."
The grandma went into the kitchen and Marissa just looked at Ryan. He had his face looking down on the floor.
"I'm sorry Ryan for putting you through another scare yet again. At least this time there was no alcohol involved."
"I'm just so relieved that your home okay. There were a million scenarios going through my head."
"Well now that this so called crisis is over I guess there is no other reason for you to stay."
"It seems that way."
Ryan was getting up to leave when the grandma came back into the living room. She was holding a tray full of sandwiches.
"Ryan, where are you going? You can't leave yet. Come have some food."
"She doesn't take no for an answer." Marissa informed him.
"Then I have no other choice."
The grandma placed the sandwiches on the coffee table and went back to get them iced tea to drink. Ryan saw why she enjoyed the company with her because she seemed so sweet and caring unlike her mother.
"Alright you two. I am off to the supermarket to get some more groceries. Ryan keep an eye on her till I get back okay."
"Grandma, I don't need a babysitter."
"Ryan, thanks again."
She closed the door and Marissa sighed heavily. Now she was always going to be worried about her and she didn't like the sound of that.
"Since she left. You could go if you want."
"I'm going to hold my word. I won't leave till she returns."
"Fine."
There was an awkward silence since neither knew what to talk about. Marissa felt more awkward because she opened herself up and he shot her down. They just ate their sandwiches quietly before Ryan wanted an answer to a question that was bugging him, but never had to time to ask her.
"Marissa, why did you really come back to Newport?"
"My mom was back to her old ways again. You know a bitch. I just needed to get out of there."
"So I was never the reason?" Ryan looked at her.
This question struck her. She thought they were over this topic the last time they talked about it. In her mind she kept thinking that he had someone knew so why did he still wonder about this?
"No. Not exactly."
"But you did mention that you still love me so why didn't you just return to come back to me?"
"I don't know. Look I see we are running out of iced tea. Let me get us something else."
Marissa went into the kitchen and Ryan contemplated her answer. She kept thinking whether she should have just said yes that she did return to be with him. Then maybe he would dump the other girl and come back to her. After making some lemonade, she walked back into the living room.
"I hope you like lemonade. There is not much else that is why my grandma left in such a rush. She never likes the fridge empty."
"It's fine."
"So when is Olivia coming back?"
"Tonight. So I should be getting back soon. She really could return any time today."
"Oh. Well I want to meet her."
"You do? I mean wouldn't you feel weird."
"No. I mean I got used to Theresa remember? This wouldn't be different."
"I guess."
"Why don't we go to the Cohen house so you can get ready and I would come because you still have to watch me?"
"Alright."
Marissa just grabbed her purse, left her grandma a note this time, and left the house. Ryan was quiet on the way down to the Cohen house. This was the second time that they tried the friend thing and it was so far okay. It was not as odd as it was the first time.
Ryan was walking toward the pool house and Marissa followed him inside. As soon as they walked past the door, she grabbed him by the neck and began kissing him. At first he seemed to try to push her away, but when she slipped her tongue into his mouth he deepened the kiss and pulled her closer. She didn't know what came over her, but she was glad he was going along with it.
This is wrong, but it feels so right. Her lips are so much softer than Olivia's and that perfume smells so sweet. Oh hell. I want this too so why not continue?
Marissa pushed Ryan onto his bed and lied on top of him to continue what they were doing standing up. She began to unbutton his shirt when she suddenly stopped.
"What am I doing? I need to..." Marissa spoke before getting cut off by Ryan.
"Don't. Don't leave." Ryan wanted to beg.
"But what about Olivia? I'm so ashamed of myself." She regretted starting this.
"I'm not. We are only doing what we really want."
"Does this involve more than just what we were about to do before I stopped? I mean I won't want to continue if you want just that."
"Of course this involves more than just sex Marissa. Don't you think I would have left you even at your grandma's house? I stayed because I want to try again, or like you said continue where we left off."
"But you never said..." She was cut short by Ryan's passionate kiss.
"Does that change your mind?"
"I think I need a bit more convincing."
He turned her over to her back and they went on for a while exploring each other's mouth. Then he finished unbuttoning his shirt and took it off. Ryan then went on to taking off her shirt and she giggled in the process. It had been a while since she felt this happy and with the one person she really loved and wanted to be with. Marissa was also relieved that he wanted her the same way too.
Ryan was about to unbutton her pants when Seth walked into the pool house.
"Oh my god Ryan. I am so sorry. I just keep forgetting to knock first. I'll just leave you two to continue." He walked out with the reddest face.
"Way to kill the mood." Ryan said.
"Tell me about it." Marissa agreed. "Let's just save this for another time. I mean that is if you don't change your mind."
"And why would I do that?"
Marissa smiled, but they still had one problem though. Ryan had to tell Olivia about her and hope for the best. When he looked at her he knew what she was thinking and he knew what he would have to do as soon as possible.
This shouldn't be that difficult. Olivia and I were never serious. This might hurt her a bit, but she won't be crushed.
"Want to join Seth in the kitchen and find out how his weekend went? He should be back to his normal color by now."
"Well now that I am dressed, please lead the way."
