A/N I love you people! I'm just writing one fan fic at a time so I can do really well on one instead of just doing okay on a couple. And I know that Ryan would never saw what I wrote, but I was just trying to get the point across that Ryan cares a lot about Marissa. After I read it, I thought it sounded like wedding vows! Lol. Thanks for your reviews! Keep them comin!

************************************************************************

Pool House, 12:33 a.m.

It was the night after he and Marissa had the best night of their lives. Ryan was lying in bed, trying to get to sleep. His body ached for her so badly. He felt like a part of him was missing with Marissa not laying on top of him. It was weird; it felt so right with her there. He wanted to reach over and touch her, just stare into her face. But he'd see her tomorrow. If he could just make it through tonight......

Jimmy Coopers Apartment, 3:00 p.m.

Marissa had just got home from the 'love nest' (hee hee) Jimmy was sitting on the couch. She wasn't sure if he was waiting for her or not.

"Hey babe," he greeted as she plopped down on the couch next to him. "Were you out all night?"

"Ya, are you mad?" she said, starting to get nervous.

"Depends on where you were and who you were with," he said, looking her in the eye.

Marissa sighed. "I was at Ryan's." she said, waiting to see if he approved.

Jimmy let out a sigh of relief. "Good." He said simply.

She gave him a puzzled look. "What do you mean 'good'?

"I've always liked that Atwood kid." He kissed Marissa on the forehead. "I see the way he looks at you. I think he loves ya, babe. But the part I like is that he loves you and seems to respect you."

Marissa smiled. "He does, daddy. And no boy has ever loved or respected me more." Jimmy gave her a look. "Besides for you, of course," she said. He seemed satisfied with that answer.

"Marissa," he said on a slightly more serious note. "You know what I have to ask you. It might be awkward, but it's important." Marissa nodded. "Now, did you or didn't you?"

She cleared her throat. "Yes, daddy. But before you say anything else, he totally did not force me. He was being such a gentleman; he kept asking me if I was sure, after the whole thing with Luke. And dad," she said, taking a deep breath after not pausing through that whole sentence. "I found the one I want to spend the rest of my life with." She told her dad. She held her breath, waiting for his reaction.

Jimmy (phew!) smiled. "Thank God it's him and not that Luke character. I'll have to spend a little time with this Attwood.

Marissa started breathing again. "I'm glad you approve. And Luke isn't all that bad anymore, dad, but he's not really boyfriend material according to my standards.

"Whatever you say, babe, whatever you say.

Marissa's Bedroom, 1:02 a.m.

Of course, Marissa's body was longing for Ryan. She didn't like sleeping on sheets anymore; she needed to be on top of him. That one short night was going to make the rest of the nights of their life really tough. After about a half hour she couldn't take it anymore. I have to be with him, she thought.

She didn't bother getting dressed. She hopped out of bed and went into her dad's room.

"Daddy?" she whispered.

"You need to go to Ryan's, don't you?" he smiled. She nodded. "Go ahead, and make sure that he uses protection.

"Okay, bye," she called as she walked out the door. She liked having a dad that she could talk to about sex. It was nice.

She hopped in her jeep and drove to the pool house. She was speeding. Her body ached so bad, she needed him. But when she pulled into the driveway, the holder of her heart was at the bottom of the driveway in his car, getting ready to leave. She rolled her window down, as did he.

"Sneaking off now, are we?" she teased.

"Sneaking in?" Ryan teased back. She pulled into the driveway, and he backed up. He beat her to the house, and she ran to catch him. When Marissa opened the door, Ryan was nowhere to be seen.

"Ryan?" she called. She walked over to the bathroom. But then he popped out from behind the front door, ran up to her and grabbed her waist and started kissing her neck.

"Couldn't bear to be without me, eh?" he joked, flexing his muscles. A shiver ran down Marissa's spine.

"Look who's talking!" she laughed. He laid on the bed, and she climbed on top of him.

"Ahh, that's better," Ryan sighed.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, now it feels weird when you're not on top of me" he confessed.

"I feel the same way. You're my new body pillow." She said. They began kissing. And we all know what that led to.

Pool House-6:00 a.m.

"Ho-ly shit!" Ryan breathed into Marissa's ear. "That was even better than last night.

"Mmm hmm" she said kissing his chest.

After a minute, she stopped to say something. "Ryan, this might sound awkward, but you are really good at this."

"Well so are you, don't stop,"

"No, it's my turn," she said flipping over. Ryan got on top of her, holding his weight on his hands, beginning to kiss her chest. "Kama sutra is a wonderful thing," she giggled.

I'll leave the rest up to your imaginations.

8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*8*

A/N I am having so much fun writing this! DID YOU SEE THE NEW EPISODE! It's kind of ironic that I'm writing this after what happened on the show. I mean, I guess Marissa kind of deserves it, but I wish Ryan would forgive her already! Anyway, I'm positive that they'll be kissin' soon enough ;^) And some people have had problems with the review thing, so if it doesn't work PLEEEZE e-mail me at lillygirl160@hotmail.com

Love, Mrs. McKenzie
