"You kissed her?" Seth asked.

"Ya dude," Ryan replied.

"What'd she do?"

"She just sat back and smiled,"

"Cool," he paused, "do ya think you'll ask her out?"

"I kind of have to, I mean I don't just kiss someone and pretend it didn't happen, that's your job!"

"That hurt man, that hurt."

"Well,"

"I know, I know it's true. I'm taking Summer to the movies on Friday why don't you and Marrissa double?"

Ryan shot Seth a 'I can't believe you said that' look.

"Oh come on, we're not that bad. But I understand you want your first date to be more romantic than a double."

"You said it not me,"

"He kissed you?" Summer asked incredulously

"Uh huh" Marrissa said.

"How was it?"

'Sweet,"

"Boring,"

"No it wasn't, it was perfect."

"You so like him. Do you think he'll ask you out?"

"I don't know."

"If he did, would you say yes?"

"I don't know."

"You lying little hussy,"

"Summer!"

"Well, would you?"

"Yes, okay yes!" Marrissa was tired of all these questions, she had spent all the time after Ryan got here liking him secretly. Trying to hide it, but now she found out that he liked her too! So sweet. She was excited to find out if he would ask her out, she thought he was a decent guy not the type to kiss and ignore. The thought of a date with 'a guy from Chino' would have been a scary thought before she'd met 'the guy from Chino' Ryan Atwood, the perfect guy. It definitely won't be hard to get my few words in, Marrissa thought. Ryan was one of those strong silent types literally, which Marrissa thought was great. Not only would Ryan be a good listener, but he also wasn't hard on the eyes either!

Oh god! All Ryan could think about was Marrissa he was sitting on the couch mindlessly playing video games with Seth, and for the past hour and a half all he could think about was Marrissa. Her hair, her face, her smell, her voice, everything about her was wonderful! He was so desperately in love, Seth found it quite hilarious.

"Are you still thinking about her?" Seth asked.

"Yes," Ryan said aggravated.

"Go see her,"

"What if she's not home?"

"She's not,"

"How do you know?"

"She's with Summer,"

"That's why you know,"

"Yep"

"Can you take me to her?"

"Yes, dude let's go!" he stood up, "I've been dying to see Summer all day man."

Ryan gave him a look, so Seth grabbed the keys and went out the door. They jumped into the SUV and drove to Summer's house. Ryan was scared that Marrissa wouldn't want to hang out with him, and god knows that they couldn't hang out with Seth and Summer because they would most likely be in Summer's room the whole time. Hanging out with Seth and Summer wasn't really entertaining because they were always making out. Ewww!

"We're hear," Seth said as they pulled in the Roberts's drive way.

"Good," Ryan replied as he undid his seatbelt.

"What you don't like hanging out with me?"

"Marrissa's easier on the eyes dude, sorry,"

"That hurt man, that hurt."

Ryan gave him a look.

"Let's go, man." They got out of the car and went to the front door, Seth knocked.

"Hey guys," Summer said as she answered the door in her string bikini.

"Hellooooooooo Summer," Seth said incredulously at her skimpy bikini.

"Hey Summer, Where's Marrissa?" Ryan asked.

"In the back, why?" Summer questioned.

"I came here to see her, not watch you and Seth do whatever it is you do." Ryan explained.

"Oh cool,"

"Bye," he headed through the kitchen and out the back doors. When he got outside he was blown away, Marrissa was wearing a blue bikini that was so tiny it looked more like pieces of fabric tied together than a bathing suit.

"Oh my god," Marrissa said as she saw Ryan, she quickly grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her.

"Aren't you supposed to start a conversation with Hello, how are you?" Ryan asked sarcastically.

"Hi Ryan, I don't usually wear something like this it's Summer's I'm just borrowing it,"

'I'm sure, I really don't mind you know," He walked over to her.

"Oh good then I guess I can take this off," she gestured to the towel.

"If you're comfortable with it,"

"Don't worry about that," She said as she removed the towel, revealing her suit.

"Wow," Ryan gasped.

She sat on the edge of the pool and patted the place beside her. He cuffed his jeans and sat down beside her.

"Summer has an amazing back yard," Ryan started lamely.

"I know," Marrissa said looking at him. He reached for her hand slowly. When he touched her a tingle went through both his and her body.

He was just about to say something else lame when, he was pulled forward into the pool. He looked over and saw Marrissa dripping wet next to him. The sight of her gasping for breath, soaking wet was too much to resist. He waded towards her and pulled her in for a kiss, the broke apart and smiled at each other.

"Do you want to hang out Friday night?" Ryan asked.

"Sure,"

"We can go see a movie, or hang out on the beach if you want,"

"I really want to see that movie, the one with Will Smith."

"I, Robot?"

"Ya, we could see that,"

"Sure, I'm getting out now, It's freezing in here," Marrissa said as she walked waded out of the pool. Ryan grabbed Marrissa's towel and passed it to her, then he went inside the back door and called to Summer to bring a towel down.

"What does Chino want?" Summer asked as her and Seth broke apart.

"A towel," Seth said, after all that's what he asked for.

"Shut up,"

"I don't wanna,"

"Oh really,"

"Really,"

She stood up and was about to walk away when she turned around and brought her head to his level. "We'll see about that, Cohen," she went to get a towel for Ryan.

"I'll take that down," Seth offered.

"Thanks," She handed him the towel and sat down on the bed.

"Here man," Seth said as he handed Ryan the towel.

"Thanks,"

"What happened?"

'She pulled me in the pool,"

"Really?"

"Well, isn't it obvious, I am soaked,"

"True,"

"Got to go see Marrissa, bye"

"Bye"

Seth walked back upstairs and walked into Summer's room, he couldn't find her.

"Summer? Summer?" Seth called, but Summer was nowhere to be found.
