A/N- Howdy ya'll! Hee hee I'm such a dork. This is kind of a filler chapter so don't expect anything spectacular. Love ya! And now on with the shooooooow!

"Ryan, what the hell is she doing here?" Marissa hissed, ducking down.

"I have no idea," he whispered back, grabbing his swimming trunks, as Marissa put her bikini bottoms back on. A sly smile came onto Ryan's face. "Do you want me to do you another 'favor?' he asked his girlfriend.

She smiled. "What do you mean?" He held his finger to his lips and pulled her against his chest, her still top-less. He brought her up, starting to kiss her, but keeping her covered up with his body. Once again, she caught on to what he was doing, and kissed him playfully, laughing. He kissed her neck. "Oh Ryan!" she crooned, finding this rather funny. Theresa had just opened the car door, stepping out. At that moment, Marissa let out a particularly loud squeal, and Theresa saw Ryan with his half-naked girlfriend. She let out a slight gasp, then crouched back into her car, trying not to be noticed.

Sure, Ryan felt slightly guilty doing this to his friend, but that was the quickest solution he could think of without humiliating himself or Marissa or Theresa.

After the car left the driveway, Marissa flopped backwards and started floating on her back. This was difficult as she was laughing, so she sunk to the bottom. Ryan went underwater and kissed her, breathing her air once again.

"We better get inside the house," he forced out with a kiss in-between each word. "Sandy and Kirsten are gonna be home pretty soon."

Marissa got a pouty look on her face. "But this is so fun!" she wined. Ryan smiled at her, appreciating the new way to make her give into things. She smiled back at him. It was virtually impossible to not smile when he smiled at you. "Okay, but it's still early and I wanna stay for a little while.

Ryan sighed a mock sigh. "Fine, if you really want to." She giggled. She grabbed her top and hopped out of the pool, grabbed a towel, and headed into the pool house. Ryan followed him, melting at the sight of her soaking wet form.

When he entered the pool house, he found Marissa wearing one of his wife beaters, turning it into a see-through top since she was wet. "Damn, she's hot," he thought to himself. Every time he saw her it was as if it was the first time.

Marissa, noticing Ryan's presence, turned around, smiling. "Do ya wanna go outside? It's to cold in here," but she was already out the door before he could answer. She flopped onto one of the beach chair. He laid down on the chair next to her, taking her hand in his.

"I love you, babe," Ryan told her, kissing the back of her hand.

A tingle ran down her spine. "Love you too!" she replied. Whenever he said this she wished she could think of something more original, but she always drew a blank. He never seemed to mind. Not like she was expecting him to, this was Ryan after all.

He sighed. "What else could I want? I got my health, the sun, and love," he said, half to himself.

"Yup, life is good."
