I finally wrote more to this story. I have been busy with work and
vacation time and not to mention waiting for my faster running computer to
arrive. This is short, but it is all I could come up with for now to get
back into the writing groove. Updates will be much quicker from now on.
Enjoy.
After quite a good amount of time of Marissa enjoying herself, Ryan wanted in on some of his own action. He flipped her over on her back and caressed her stomach. His hands were so soft to the touch, not like Luke's used to be.
"Ryan. I hate that we lied to my grandmother." Marissa said.
"I think she will survive without you in the house. She has before you moved in."
"I know, but lately she has been acting a bit stranger than usual. Like she is not telling me something."
"So do you want to go back?"
"You wouldn't mind would you?"
"Nah. We could just leave now."
Ryan picked up the clothing each was wearing and they got dressed. Marissa made sure her coat was covering her up. She hated that they had to cut the night short, but she felt like she needed to talk with her grandmother and it couldn't wait. At least Ryan was understanding when it came to her.
When Ryan dropped her off she quickly rushed inside the house. Ryan meanwhile instead of driving back home he drove around for a while. Within ten minutes of his drive, his cell phone rang.
"Hello."
"Hey Ryan. It's Seth. Where are you? Did you break up with Olivia yet?"
"Um. I am just driving around and yes I have."
"Did she take it well? I mean I know she probably didn't, but was she okay about it?"
"I guess. That is what it looked like to me. I don't know."
"So do you want company on that drive of yours? Summer is busy so I am free tonight."
"Sure. I'll be there in five."
Seth put on the latest urban outfitters t-shirt, checked his jew-fro, and left Summer a message on her cell that he was going to be out hanging with Ryan. He didn't want her to worry so this would keep her from doing just that. As soon as Seth heard the car honk, he left the house.
"So what's up buddy? Anything you want to do?"
"Not really. Just felt like getting away from everything."
"Well if you really want to, I do know the perfect place."
"And that place would be?" Ryan giving him a look.
"I know what you are thinking. It is not the comic book store."
"Can you blame me for thinking that?"
"I guess not, but no. Just drive up three blocks then make a left and drive till the street ends. The place is on the right of that street."
"So you are not going to tell me are you?"
"Nope. Just wait and see." Seth answered.
Ryan shrugged his shoulders and decided to give the spot a chance. Hopefully it would help get his mind off Marissa and how his night was cut short. He didn't want to tell her that it did upset him that she wanted to go back, but things were finally going well between them he didn't want to upset her.
Where is Seth taking me? Maybe I should have just driven home and watched some tv, or listened to some music. Can't change my mind now. I guess I can give this place a shot.
"Well here we are?" Seth said.
They were in front of an arcade. Inside there seemed to be a bunch of young kids running around.
"Are you serious?" Ryan shot Seth a look.
"Worry not my friend. You will have fun. We will just be ten again is all."
"Don't you get enough of video games at home?"
Now it was Seth's turn to give Ryan a look.
"Obviously not. Why did I even ask?"
Ryan looked around the place and felt like he was out of place. The only person in there besides Seth coming close to his age was a kid who was twelve.
"Okay Ryan, I have our bucket full of quarters. We are not leaving until we finish all of them."
Ryan took a peek inside and there must have been around fifty dollars worth of quarters in there. It was going to be a long night.
"Let's start on that game first." Seth ran to that game before a ten year old reached it.
Just remember that Seth is like a child in a candy store in here. No wait. He still is like a child anywhere.
Meanwhile at Marissa's grandmother's house.....
"Marissa, you're back so soon. I thought you were going to be out all night. I mean you were dressed just so." Marissa's grandmother said.
Marissa didn't know how to respond to that. She just gave her a blank stare.
"It's okay. I was your age once, but why are you back already?"
"I felt like it." Marissa just answered. She didn't know how to approach her on the subject she wanted to really talk about.
"Well since you are home we could watch this movie I rented together I was going to watch now."
"I guess so."
Marissa didn't want to wait till the movie was over to ask her so while her grandmother was putting in the DVD, she just blurted out the question.
"Is there something going on that I don't know about?"
"Marissa, I have no idea what you are talking about."
"You have been less I don't know, talkative. Like you are hiding something from me."
"Nope. Where is this coming from? Why are you asking me this now?"
"I just....I have this weird feeling is all."
"Well you should just push that aside and rest assured that nothing is wrong."
"Alright. I'll just make some popcorn for us to eat. I'll be right back."
Marissa went into the kitchen and saw a message was on the answering machine.
That might be Ryan since my phone is turned off. I now regret that I turned our night short. At least spending some time with my grandma will make her happy.
One message.....Time... ten twenty four p.m. beep
Hey, it's Julie. Just wanted to let you know that I want to change my mind about waiting to tell Marissa that I am getting married to Jeff in December. She means so much to me that I want to her know as soon as possible. I hope she will take it well, but if she doesn't just let her know that I am still going to go through with it. He really loves me and I love him. Well I got to go. He is taking me someplace as a surprise. Bye.
End message..
Marissa did not know how to react to this news. The only thing that she could confirm is that her mother hardly knew this guy and that she couldn't stop this wedding.
"Marissa, is everything okay? I'm going to start the movie without you."
"I'll be there in a sec."
Should I even care about this? I just don't even want to think about this right now. I'll just forget about this until tomorrow. I'll just enjoy some time with my grandma now. She is waiting for me.
