Ryan and Marissa unlocked the hotel room door and went inside their suite.
"Listen." Marissa smiled
"What is it?" Ryan asked and they both stood in silence.
They looked at each other and smiled. They were hearing Summer and Seth through the bedroom walls.
"Seems like they have the right idea." Ryan smiled gently pinning Marissa against the wall, kissing her.
"As much as I love it, we can't spend our entire trip in the bedroom." Marissa said trying to resist the urge.
"You're right but what are we going to do about our rabbit like friends?" Ryan joked.
"This!" Marissa replied and opened Seth and Summer's room door, where they immediately stopped what they were doing to cover up. "Listen if you two don't get the hell out of bed and get ready to go out Ryan and I won't have anything to do with either of you for the rest of the trip."
"Fine, close the door. We'll get going." Summer replied.
Marissa smiled and closed the door and made her way into her room. Ryan was lying on the bed.
"Maybe we're better off without them." Ryan said.
"What do you mean?" Marissa asked sitting next to him.
"I mean they're a bad influence on us." Ryan laughed and pulled Marissa into him.
"Are they really?" Marissa laughed as Ryan kissed her neck.
"Would we make out this much if they weren't influencing us?" Ryan asked.
"Um, yeah." Marissa replied, "What do we do better?"
"Your right and we can't ignore what we're great at doing." Ryan said trying to untie Marissa's bikini top.
"Ryan!" Marissa said stopping him.
"Ok fine, what else are we good at besides this." Ryan asked sitting up.
"Fighting." Marissa replied.
"Fighting? About what?" Ryan asked.
"Uh, Oliver or Theresa or Luke." Marissa said.
"Oliver's not around any more and we worked out the whole Theresa thing. And we haven't fought about Luke since you and he broke up. What is there to fight about now?" Ryan asked.
"Personally Ryan, I don't want there to be anything for us to fight about." Marissa replied.
"Neither do I." Ryan said giving her a kiss.
"HELLO!" Summer said loudly.
"Hi Summer." Marissa said pulling away from Ryan's lips. "Are you guys ready to go?"
"Sure whenever you two are finished your lip lock session." Summer said, "Anyways don't I look hot?"
Ryan just awkwardly laughed
"Come on! Let's hit the beach!" Summer said excitedly.
The week flew by; everyone was having so much fun. Thursday night after a hot night out everyone got back really late, feeling good after having a few drinks.
"I can't believe tomorrow is our last full day here." Marissa complained, "Let's do something really memorable."
"Believe me, you guys will be." Seth hinted.
"What?" Marissa asked, "Why did you say that?"
"Sorry man." Seth said.
"Well I have something planned for us tomorrow. But don't ask what, you're just going to have to wait." Ryan said.
"That is so sweet Chino, Cohen what about me?" Summer whined.
"Actually Summer there is something I have planned for us." Seth replied.
"Tell me, Cohen please." Summer begged.
"I involves, wait never mind. You're just going to have to wait. But it doesn't have anything to do with what Ryan has planned for him and Marissa." Seth answered.
After a little more chat everyone went to bed.
"Cohen, what time do you have our date planned for?" Summer moaned looking over at the clock which said 11:10.
"Not till six, why what time is it?" Seth yawned.
"Ten after eleven, should we get up? I think we should." Summer sat up.
'Yeah, do you want to get a shower or should I got get one." Seth asked sitting up as well.
"You go; I'll get one before our date tonight." Summer smiled.
Seth grabbed his stuff and headed to the bathroom and noticed Ryan and Marissa's door partially open. He peeked in and found them fast asleep.
"Wake up sleep heads. Don't you know what time it is?" Seth said sort of quietly.
Ryan rolled over, "What time is it?"
"Quarter after eleven." Seth replied and continued to the bathroom.
Ryan looked over at Marissa who was still asleep, he kissed her and got up and left the room.
As he passed Summer's room she called him in.
"Chino, what are you and Marissa doing today?" Summer asked.
"We're going out to a private island this afternoon." Ryan replied.
"Really that is so sweet Ryan. What does Cohen have planned?" Summer asked.
"I'm not telling you, Seth would kill me." Ryan replied.
"You can beat his a$$ Chino." Summer smirked.
"Yeah but I'm still not telling you." Ryan replied.
"Please Chino." Summer begged.
"Sorry Summer." Ryan said, "But I will tell you that you're going to love it."
"Tell me and I'll be the judge of that." Summer said.
"Look Summer, you're going to love it. But that is all I'm going to say." Ryan replied as Marissa walked in and put her hands on his shoulders.
"Coop convinces your boyfriend that I need to know where Cohen is taking me." Summer said sitting up.
"Sorry Sum, but when Ryan has his mind set it's set." Marissa answered.
Ryan looked up at Marissa and smiled at her.
"God you two are like a married couple." Summer gagged.
"What are you talking about Sum?" Marissa asked.
"Look at you two, you're all lovey dovey. It's disgusting." Summer said.
"You're just bitter cause Ryan won't tell you where Seth is taking you." Marissa laughed.
Seth walked in, "Shouldn't you two be getting ready for your date?" Seth asked.
"Yeah soon," Ryan replied, "But your girlfriend here is trying to convince me to tell her what you guys are doing tonight."
"She's a curious one isn't she?" Seth joked wrapping his arms around her.
"I'm going to go get a shower." Marissa said.
"Ok, we'll get ready and all go out for lunch before we head out on our date." Ryan said.
Seth, Summer, Marissa and Ryan went for lunch together and at 2:30 Ryan and Marissa walked down to the beach.
A man greeted them with a drink and helped the into the boat.
"Where are we going?" Marissa asked cuddling into Ryan.
"You'll see." Ryan replied.
After 1/2 hour on the boat they pulled up to a beautiful beach with a long dock, powdered white sand and a small glass cabin; all surrounded by what looked like a jungle.
"Wow, this place is so beautiful." Marissa admired.
They got out and the driver left. Marissa and Ryan spent the next couple hours swimming, kissing and making out on the beach. Around six, their driver returned with a wonderful dinner. The driver told them he'd be back later that night to return them back to their hotel.
Just as Summer finished getting ready the phone rang and Seth picked it up.
"Mr. Cohen your carriage is waiting for you and your girlfriend out front." The receptionist said.
"Thank you, we'll be down right away." Seth replied and hung the phone up.
"Our ride awaits Ms. Roberts." Seth said reaching out for her hand.
Summer smiled and followed Seth out the door. They reached the hotel entrance and Summer gasped.
"OMG Cohen, you got us a horse drawn carriage. That is like so cool." Summer said excited.
Seth helped Summer up and they headed for their restaurant.
Back at the private island.
After they finished dinner, Ryan too Marissa up to the cabin. It was filled with candles and a bed covered in flower petals. Ryan walked over and turned on some quiet music.
"This is incredible. You're incredible." Marissa said wrapping her arms around Ryan.
"This is all because you deserve it." Ryan said and he kissed her, "What do you want to do now?"
"Actually a massage would be amazing." Marissa asked.
"Ok, come over here." Ryan took Marissa over to the bed.
Marissa lay down on her stomach, Ryan untied her bikini top and started rubbing her back softly and eventually started to massage it.
"Wow Ryan, you're really good at this." Marissa complimented.
Ryan smiled and continued. As he massaged her back he remembered the first time he knocked on her door. She answered it wearing her cotillion dress; he helped her fasten the straps in the back. That was when he realized how much he was falling for her. Now over a year later, he was still falling for her.
He leaned down and kissed the back of her neck the way he wanted to over a year ago. Marissa moaned softly and Ryan continued kissing her. Eventually Marissa rolled over. Ryan looked down at her and they smiled at each other.
After a very formal and romantic dinner, Seth and Summer returned to the carriage.
"Where to now Cohen?" Summer asked cuddling into him.
"Well we're taking a ride into town which will take about 45 minutes, and then I have one more surprise for you." Seth replied.
"A surprise." Summer smiled
"But first this." Seth said and kissed her.
45 minutes later Seth helped Summer out of the carriage.
"So can you tell me what we're doing now?" Summer asked.
"Well it includes credit cards and stores; can you guess what we're doing?" Seth joked.
"You going to take me shopping, you hate shopping." Summer said.
"I hate shopping yeah but I love you and you love shopping. So it's worth it." Seth replied.
"Wow this is like so cool." Summer wrapped her arms around Seth and then took his hand and headed to the first store.
Ryan traced his fingers along Marissa's tan line, kissing her every so often. Marissa ran her hands across Ryan's back. They both reached out for each others hand, when they found each other they clenched on as they kissed. After a few minutes Ryan pulled away and starred at Marissa.
"What?" Marissa laughed.
"Unfortunately we have to stop." Ryan mumbled.
"What? Why?" Marissa asked surprised.
"Uh, I um forgot to bring umm protection with me." Ryan said still mumbling.
"Really? Ryan......" Marissa sighed.
Ryan laid down next to Marissa.
"What do we do now?" Marissa asked.
"What ever you want to do." Ryan replied, "I'm sorry."
"It's fine. There's other stuff we can do besides." Marissa said getting on top of Ryan.
"That there is." Ryan agreed.
Ryan and Marissa left their island happy and fulfilled. They cuddled the entire boat ride back, Marissa even fell asleep. They both were exhausted and went right to bed once they got back to their suite.
Seth and Summer shopped until the stores closed at 10 and took the carriage back to the hotel. They walked into the hotel and realized that Marissa and Ryan were already asleep. They quietly made their way to their room and immediately started fooling around.
"Cohen." Summer said pulling away for a moment, "That was the best date ever."
The next day the gang relaxed, packed and headed home.
Unfortunately, no one knew what they were headed home too.
Sandy picked the group up at the airport.
"Hey guys. How was your trip? You all look great." Sandy said as he greeted each one with a hug.
"Dad hey, our trip was crazy. All the woman, booze and drugs, well men in the ladies case." Seth joked.
"As long as you had fun." Sandy replied, "Ryan how was the Bahamas for you?"
"Great, really great." Ryan answered and looked over at Marissa. She smiled at him and he knew she was thinking about their day on the island.
"Good to hear." Sandy replied.
"How is everything here at home?" Marissa asked.
Sandy paused for a second, "Everything appears to be ok."
"Oh." Marissa said.
Sandy dropped Summer off, then Marissa and then arrived at home.
Kirsten greeted them with two big hugs as they walked in. Ryan brought his stuff out to the pool house and returned inside with gifts for Kirsten and Sandy.
"Uh, Marissa wanted to go shopping one day. She helped me pick this stuff out, if you don't like it blame her." Ryan laughed and passed Kirsten a beautiful hand-made quilt and a bottle of Bahamian wine; he passed Sandy a pair of surfing shorts and a bottle of Bahamian liquor.
"My god Ryan, you didn't have to bring us home anything. But thank you, I love it." Kirsten said and gave Ryan another hug.
"Yeah but these shorts are pretty cool." Sandy said and gave Ryan a quick handshake.
"Hey I brought you guys home something too." Seth said and passes them a t-shirt each.
"Ah, thank you sweetie." Kirsten said and gave her son a hug.
"Wow, it's like Chrismakah here today." Sandy joked and gave his son a hug as well.
"I think I'm going to go to bed, I thought I'd sleep on the plane but it didn't work out." Ryan said and turned to head to the pool house.
"Boys, the Nana is flying in today. We're planning a dinner tonight to welcome her here, so you two invite Summer and Marissa. They left a good impression with her last time." Sandy said.
"Ok great." Ryan said and went out to the pool house.
"Wait, why is the Nana coming back? Is she ok? Is she getting better or worse?" Seth questioned.
"Actually we don't know. She just called yesterday and informed us she was flying in today." Sandy answered.
"I hope nothing is wrong." Seth replied.
"I'm sure everything is ok sweetie." Kirsten said, "Why don't you go back to bed, you look tired as well."
"Sure mom." Seth replied.
"I'll call Summer for you." Kirsten smiled at him and he left the room.
"I wonder if Julie talked to Marissa yet about my father." Kirsten said giving Sandy a hug.
"I don't know but if she makes Marissa move with her, Ryan will be devasted." Sandy replied.
"I can't believe Julie and my father are moving away. My father has lived in Newport ever since he started working. I can't imagine him anywhere else but here." Kirsten said.
"But he's doing it for you." Sandy replied, "That is very self-less, not like him at all."
"I know, I'm going to give Marissa a call and invite her over for supper tonight." Kirsten said and picked the phone up.
"Hello?" Julie answered.
"Julie, hi it's Kirsten."
"Kirsten hi, I was just talking to Marissa." Julie said.
"Really, how is she taking the news?" Kirsten asked.
"Not well, she doesn't want to move away." Julie said, "She wants to move in with her father and stay here in Newport."
"That's not that surprising is it?" Kirsten asked.
"Well, I figured since she moved in with us on her own she might have wanted to move again with us." Julie replied.
"So what are you going to do? Make her move or let her stay?" Kirsten asked.
"I'd really like her to move with us." Julie said.
"Oh I see, well Sandy's mother is coming into town. Last time she was here Marissa left a pretty good impression with her and she wanted me to invite Marissa over tonight for dinner." Kirsten said.
"Kirsten, Marissa just got home." Julie said surprised.
"I know but last time she was here she told us she had cancer, we don't know if she is going to die soon and we just wanted to make her happy." Kirsten replied.
"Well I guess its ok with me; I'll get Marissa for you." Julie said and called out to her daughter.
"Hello?" Marissa answered.
"Hi Marissa, its Kirsten. How are you?"
"Not good." Marissa replied, "Oh how did you and Sandy like the gifts Ryan brought home for you?"
"They were wonderful. He told us you helped pick them out so thank you." Kirsten responded.
"Of course." Marissa said.
"Um, the Nana is coming tonight and we have a dinner planned for her. We and the Nana were hoping you would like to join us." Kirsten asked.
"Yes of course, I'd love to." Marissa replied.
"Great, dinner is at 7 but I'm sure you'll be here well before that." Kirsten replied.
"Yup, thanks for inviting me and I'll see you later." Marissa said and hung the phone up
"So did Julie talk to her?" Sandy asked.
"Yes and I think Julie is trying to force her to move away with them." Kirsten replied.
"Really, can't she live with Jimmy? I'm sure Marissa would like that a whole lot better." Sandy said.
"She would but you know the way my father and Julie gets." Kirsten sighed, "Ryan is going to hate the sounds of this. I got to call Summer and invite her."
