Meanwhile, later into the day, and out in the pool house, Ryan and Marissa were enjoying the afternoon to themselves. Ryan had heard about Sandy and Kirsten wanting to take a trip, but had waited to tell Marissa.
Marissa: So what do you want to do today?
Ryan: The day is half over.
Marissa: So?
Ryan looked over at Marissa and then rolled toward her in bed and wrapped an arm around her.
Ryan: This.
Marissa smiled and Ryan leaned in and kissed her. The two slowly parted and Ryan lay his head down next to Marissa's.
Marissa: I love you Ryan.
Ryan perked up a little bit and smiled.
Ryan: I love you too.
Marissa: I know.
Ryan just looked at her and smiled, and then slowly shifted himself on top of Marissa. Ryan cupped Marissa's cheek in his hand and leaned down and kissed her again. Eventually the two parted, and Ryan laid his forehead on Marissa's.
Marissa: I could get used to this.
Ryan gave her a questioning look. Marissa laughed a little bit and shifted slightly in bed. Ryan rolled off of her and the two lay in bed facing each other.
Marissa: I just mean, I'm enjoying our day in bed we seem to have something going here.
Ryan: Oh.
Marissa moved in the bed and slid as close to Ryan as she could.
Marissa: And you.
Ryan looked up and their eyes immediately locked.
Marissa: (Smiling) I just never seem to get tired of you. I always want you around; I always want to be with you.
Ryan: I know the feeling.
Marissa's smile grew a bit bigger, and then she got a weird look on her face
Marissa: We're one of those couples again.
Ryan: Marissa, we've always been one of those couples…get over it.
Ryan wrapped his arm around Marissa's waist and pulled her close to him.
Ryan: Do you know when you're mom wants you home?
Marissa: (Laughing a little) Probably never.
Ryan smiled at Marissa and the two got lost in each other's eyes for a few minutes.
Marissa: Why?
Ryan had forgot what they had been talking about.
Ryan: Huh…why what?
Marissa: The question about my mom…
Ryan: Oh right…(Ryan got a sly grin on his face) Sandy and Kirsten are going out of town.
Marissa: Really?
Ryan: Yeah, they leave in a couple days, they're going to Italy.
Marissa: So does this mean you're going to Italy?
Ryan: No, Seth and I are staying…
Marissa: (Who didn't realize she was interrupting) Good.
Ryan smiled at her, and she of course smiled back. Ryan slid as close to Marissa as he possibly could.
Ryan: And I was kinda hoping that…you'd stay…with me.
Ryan wasn't sure how Marissa would take this, and Marissa quickly caught on to Ryan's nervousness. Marissa leaned in and kissed Ryan; as they parted Marissa whispered in his ear.
Marissa: I'd love to stay with you.
Ryan: I was hoping you'd say that.
