"Ryan?" Seth asked when he saw my smiling face.
"Ya?" I asked back sitting down beside him.
"You okay?"
"Ya, fine."
"You sure?"
"Ya."
"I heard what you said to mom, are you sure you're okay?"
"Ya I'm fine. What am I not allowed to be cheerful once and a while?"
"No. You are a brooder, not a smiler."
"Leave him alone Seth." Sandy said sitting across from us.
"But dad." Seth protested convinced something was wrong with me.
"Seth, leave it." I agreed with Sandy looking down the hall where Kirsten had just become unfrozen moving down the hall towards us.
"Ryan." Kirsten acknowledged.
"Mom." I said back. Seth and Sandy both gave me weird looks but I just played it cool.
"What's up?" Seth asked looking from me to Kirsten and back at me.
"Nothing's 'up'." Kirsten said putting air quotations on up.
"Ya." I agreed.
"But you called her... she didn't... sounded normal...nothing's up?" Seth rambled not finishing a thought.
"Speak clearly or don't speak at all" Urged sandy.
"But?" Seth said gesturing furiously at Kirsten and me.
"I know, but don't." Sandy said reassuring Seth that me calling Kirsten mom was perfectly natural.
"Ryan? Marrissa wants to see you again." Julie said stepping by them.
"Thanks Julie." I said trying to be civil.
"Sure..." Apparently Seth isn't the only one unsure of my cheerfulness.
(IN MARRISSA'S ROOM, MARRISSA'S POV)
"Ryan." I said when he walked in.
"Ya?" He asked coming to sit beside me.
"Did she tell you?" I asked.
"No, what happened?"
"She said...."
"What? What is it?"
"She said..."
"Marrissa baby, what is it?"
"There's that name baby again." I said laughing.
"Again it felt like the right thing to say."
"Okay, babe." I agreed settling in deeper into my bed.
"Now what did you want to tell me?"
"My mom said I couldn't date you anymore..."
"How many times has she said that, it's never stopped us before."
"She also says I can't do the show anymore."
"Only the people who signed the contract can revoke it and your dad signed it not her."
"Really?"
"Ya."
"Oh."
"I mean if you don't want to do it anymore you could always tell your dad you want out."
"I don't, really I don't."
"Good then it's settled."
"Yep." I agreed smiling.
Ryan leaned in a kissed me and then someone spoke, "Sorry to interrupt but Jimmy said it would be PG in here so I figured I didn't have to knock." Seth said turning away.
"What do you want Seth?" Ryan asked annoyed.
"Dad said...Marrissa had to... can't do show anymore...not to panic." Seth mumbled.
"Seth?" I asked knowing what he was trying to say and yet completely lost.
"My dad said Julie said Marrissa couldn't do the show anymore but he said not to worry 'cause Julie couldn't revoke the contract 'cause she didn't sign it."
"We knew all that Seth." Ryan said.
"Even revoking the contract?"
"Yes, Seth even revoking the contract."
"Oh." Seth sighed, "I'll let you get back to what you were doing." Seth left.
"He's getting weirder." I said.
"Didn't think it was possible." Ryan replied leaning into kiss me.
Are lips had barely touched when someone in the doorway spoke, "Ew!" Summer squealed.
"What Summer?" Ryan asked barely even turning towards her.
"I wanted to know if you wanted anything, we're going to the caf."
"Not for me thanks." Ryan said.
"I'll have a shake, if you can get one." I said.
"Your step-father is the richest man in Newport I'm sure he can get you one." Summer said turning.
"Bye Sum." I said, and she waved back as she walked out of the room.
(IN THE CAF, SETH'S POV)
"What does Marrissa want?" Seth asked.
"A chocolate shake."
"Cool, I'll get one too."
"If they have them."
"My grandfather is the richest man in Newport, they have them."
Seth didn't know what was so funny but Summer started laughing, "What? What's so funny?"
"I...said...the...same...thing...to...Coop..." Summer explained in between bursts of laughter.
"Oh." Seth said still not seeing what was so funny.
"Let's get the stuff and go back up." Summer said calming down.
"Okay." I agreed leading the way to the burger stand for dinner.
"I want one with everything." Summer ordered walking away.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"To get Kirsten's salad."
"Oh, okay."
"Yep." Summer said, knowing full well that I was still watching her she began shaking her ass.
Seth raised his eyebrows once up and then down. Walking to the counter he ordered burgers for Sandy, Jimmy, Chris, Haley, Summer, Caleb, Julie, Caitlin (who was arriving in a few minutes), and himself.
(IN MARRISSA'S ROOM, JULIE'S POV)
"Baby, how did everyone take the news, of you no longer being on the show." I asked putting her hand over Marrissa's.
"They didn't." Marrissa said.
"What?" I asked incredulously.
"As Sandy pointed out, you can't revoke the contract."
"Then who can?"
"Dad."
"Really?"
"Ya, because he signed it."
"Really?"
"Yep."
"We'll see about that. You'll be off that show yet, you just wait." I said turning on my heel and walking out of the room.
"Mom? What?" Marrissa called after me but I didn't answer.
"James." I said when I walked into the waiting room.
"Yes Julie?" Jimmy asked looking at me wearily.
"I need to talk to you."
"Then talk."
"Alone."
"Why should I?"
"Because, it's about our daughter."
"Oh." Jimmy said standing and following me into the corner of the room.
"Revoke Marrissa's contract." I ordered.
"Why?"
"Because I said, and it's what she wants."
"No it isn't."
"Yes, I just talked to her."
"Nope."
"Nope I didn't talk to her?"
"Nope, I won't revoke it."
"What?"
"That's right." Jimmy said walking away.
"JAMES!?!?" I yelled.
He didn't reply.
"JAMES!" I yelled again.
"Juju baby you're going to get kicked out." Caleb said coming over and putting his arms around me.
"You're the richest man in Newport, they can't kick me out." I said walking away from him.
