thank you guys for the reviews.

Julie no you are not over reading. I did hint at a Rachel and Jimmy pairing. I just loved the two of them together I couldn't pass the chance up to put them into a story. There not much of them right now but maybe when I have Seth/Marissa go home for thanksgiving.

I'm glad that people that like other couples enjoy this fanfic as well.

also I would like to thanks my beta reader Sarah for helping me fix up my grammer.

She sat in her dorm room as she tried to get ready for the date tonight. She felt the butterflies in her stomach for the first time in years. It was the good butterflies though, the kind that make you feel so happy from the tip of your toes to the very top of your head. She stood in front of her closet debating what she should wear. Seth had said something simple but classic and she wondered if she should wear the plain black dress she owned. She pulled it out of the closet and thought back to the night she had first worn it.

*****

It was her last event in Newport before she and Seth left for NYC and she had asked Seth to be her date. He had accepted even before she could get the words out of her mouth. That was one reason she always enjoyed the time spent with Seth. It was like they knew each other both inside and out. Just like she knew Seth would walk in her door at any moment, ready to go to the event.

She looked over and to her delight there was Seth in the doorway. He had on a tux that she had helped him pick out yesterday. She knew he didn't want to wear it but she had to say he did look good in it. "I'm almost ready," Marissa said as she finished her hair. She looked in the mirror one last time to make sure everything was perfect. "How do I look?" she asked as she twirled around for Seth.

"You look beautiful. There is no doubt you are going to be the most beautiful person there," he said as he took her hand in his and give it a small kiss.

Marissa felt herself blush at Seth's compliment. She knew he meant every single word and it made her feel special inside and out.

She slipped into the black dress and looked into the mirror. She was glad it still looked as good on her now as it did back them. It was a simple strapless dress that ended just above her knees, but fitted her in all the right places.

She looked at the clock and saw that it was 5:45.She knew Seth would be there at six so she finished getting dressed quickly. She decided to leave her hair down, and put on just a little bit of make up. In Seth's words, enough to bring out her beauty even more, but not so much as to cover it up.

She had just finished when she heard a knock on the door. "It's open," she said as she put away her makeup. She looked over at the door as Seth walked in and found herself taken away by how cute he really was. He had worn a pair of khaki pants, and a dark blue sweater she had bought him last week. "Hi," was all she was able to get out.

"Hi," he said back as he walked closer to her. "You look beautiful tonight." He gently kissed her on the lips.

"You don't look bad yourself," she said with a little laugh. "So where are you taking me tonight?"

"It's a surprise," he said as he took her by the arm and led her out of her dorm room. He had a whole night planned for the two of them, which he hoped would be one of the most romantic nights of her life.

They sat in the back of this little cafe as they finished up their desserts. They had spent the past two hours in a blur about what was going on around them. All that mattered was the two of them at the table. He was eating a peanut butter cake and gently fed her a piece before giving her a kiss. "MMMMM," she said after the kiss. "And the cake wasn't that bad either."

"I think I need to judge that again," he said as he leaned in for another kiss this time allowing it to go on longer then the first. "Much better," he said as he stood close to her face. "Where would you like to go next for a walk around the city, or back to my dorm where I have set up some romantic music, some candles, and a surprise for you?"

"I'll take your room," she said as she kissed him once again.

They paid for the dinner and walked back to campus. It was only a few blocks and a nice night out. He wrapped his arm around her as they enjoyed the light of the city. They stopped every few feet to enjoy a kiss between each other until they reached his dorm room.

He told her to close her eyes before they got into the room, and he went around as he lit all the candles in the room, and gently put a single red rose on his bed for her. He then put on a CD mix he had spent the afternoon making, and walked over to her where he said, "You can open you eyes now."

Marissa couldn't believe what she saw in front of her. "Before you say anything I just wanted to add something. I've been waiting for tonight for so very long. Every since our SR year when we started to spend so much time together. We fell in love with each other that year, but because of everything that happened between you and Ryan, and Summer and I we couldn't be together. We are 3,000 miles away from everything though and I would like to finally be able to say, Marissa I'm crazy about you."

She tried to get words out of her mouth but nothing would come. Instead she kissed him. "I want nothing more then to be with you," she said after the kiss.

He kissed her back with a deep passionate kiss that drove him insane. They fell on to the bed together and stayed there in each other arm. ******

I hope you guys enjoyed I won't update without reviews.
