Ryan knocked on Marissa's door, she opened it and Ryan was in amazement of how stunning she looked. She had her hair pulled back and she was wearing knee length slimming skirt and a silky halter top.

"You look, um, great." Ryan pretty much stuttered as she rubbed the top of his head.

"Thank You." Marissa said joining him on the step to lock the door, "You look handsome yourself."

Ryan was wearing a black suit with a light blue shirt, no tie though. Marissa was impressed he actually dressed up.

Ryan took her to a beautiful restaurant overlooking the ocean. It was very private and quiet but friendly.

Ryan ordered a steak while Marissa ordered lobster risotto.

"how's your meal?" Ryan asked.

"Delicious, what's your steak like?" Marissa asked.

"Pretty good, you want to taste it?" Ryan teased.

"Umm.." Marissa said, "I don't think so but you can try my lobster, its delicious."

Ryan nodded and Marissa put some on to her fork for Ryan to taste. She reached the fork out for Ryan to take his bite, "So what do you think?"

"Not bad but its no steak." Ryan teased.

"You're right, its better." Marissa teased back.

"If you think so." Ryan said.

After they finished they ordered dessert before leaving to go back to Marissa's. They arrived back to her house at 7.

"I thought we'd be back before this, what time does Summer think we're picking her up?" Ryan asked.

"8 but I could call her and tell her later." Marissa offered.

"No its ok, there's always after right?" Ryan replied stepping into the house.

"Right." Marissa agreed.

"Is you're dad home?" Ryan wondered.

"NO he's out with Hailey tonight, I'm sure he'll be staying on the boat tonight." Marissa answered, "Come up to my room, I can't wait to give you your present."

Marissa started towards the stairs but Ryan stopped her by pulling her back towards him.

Marissa looked up at him as he smiled at her.

"I've been wanting to do this since the moment you opened the earlier." Ryan said before leaning down to kiss her. Marissa fell into his arms, his kiss was unbelievable and she wanted nothing more but to kiss him all night.

"Come on Ryan if you keep kissing me like that we'll never get anywhere tonight." Marissa said with her eyes closed trying to savour every moment of that wonderful kiss.

Ryan nodded and took her hand and followed her upstairs.

Ryan sat on her bed as Marissa sat next to him, "So do you want your gift first or second?"

"Second." Ryan said, "I can't wait to give this to you any longer."

Ryan passed her the wrapped gift box she had already seen before and a card. Marissa opened the card first. Marissa read the quote inside and smiled, it said "What greater thing is there for two human souls that to feel that they are joined... to strengthen each other... to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.
George Eliot Marissa I love you with every part of me, Happy Anniversary!"

"Ryan this is so beautiful." Marissa said with tears in her eyes.

Ryan lightly brushed his lips against hers, "Open the gift."

Marissa nodded and unwrapped her gift. When she came to the box she looked up at Ryan before perceding. When she finally opened the box she gasped at how beautiful the necklace and pendant were.

"OMG Ryan, its gorgeous." Marissa said, "Ryan this is incredible. Wow."

Marissa was so surprised at how beautiful it was, she couldn't believe he picked it out. "Did you pick this out?"

"Well sort of. I asked for help and the sales person narrowed it down to about 10 and I picked this one. I guess I did good?" Ryan asked.

"You picked out the most beautiful one ever." Marissa said with tears forming in her eyes.

Ryan took it out of the box and put it around her neck.

"Ok for your gift. You have to close your eyes." Marissa said.

Ryan gave her a look before closing his eyes. Marissa went over to her closet and glanced at Ryan before opening the door. She took the gift out of the closet and brought it over in front of Ryan.

"Ok Ryan you can open your eyes." Marissa said with a huge smile.

Ryan opened his eyes slowly and his eyes nearly popped out of his head when he saw the gift.

Marissa took it and placed it into his hands.

"You bought me a guitar." Ryan said with his eyes lit.

"I remembered when I first met you, you mentioned that your brother Trey used to play the guitar. You loved listening to it, you said when he was playing it all your problems seemed to disappear. I thought maybe you'd like to play, take lessons or something." Marissa said, "Do you like it?"

Marissa looked at him slightly nervous for his response.

"Marissa, I can't think of any gift better than this one." Ryan said still shocked.

"You mean it?" Marissa asked running her fingers over the necklace Ryan bought for her.

"Honestly, you couldn't have done a better job." Ryan said pulling Marissa down to him for a kiss.

After the kiss was finished Marissa starred into Ryan's eyes, "I put an inscription on the side, look at it."

Ryan read it and smiled, "I love you too."

Marissa kissed him again and looked up at the clock and it was already 8.

"We should probably get going, its 8." Marissa said.

Ryan laid the guitar down with a smirk on his face. He pulled Marissa down onto the bed so they were lying next to eachother.

"We can be a little late can't we?" Ryan asked slowly kissing the curve of her shoulder. Marissa moaned as she glidded her hands up the back of Ryan's shirt, untucking the collared shirt. She softly ran her nails over his back. Ryan moved his lips back to hers. Before they knew it they were out of breath, wanting eachother so bad.

"Ryan." Marissa said as she tried to catch her breath.

"Yeah." Ryan asked as he continued kissing her neck.

"We should prob..." Marissa started but was cut off by the phone.

Ryan stopped what he was doing to allow Marissa to grab the phone.

"We're on our way Summer, sorry we just caught up in something." Marissa said still trying to catch her breath.

"No problem but get her soon!" Summer said and hung the phone up.

"We can finish this later." Marissa offered as she got up off the bed.

"Of course." Ryan said standing up as well. He tucked his shirt in and fixed up his jacket as Marissa fixed her make up and hair.

Ryan looked down and picked his guitar up, he sat down on the bed and slowly started playing it.

"OMG Ryan!" Marissa exclaimed, "You can play it?"

"A little." Ryan replied, "I never thought I'd own my own though."

Marissa smiled, "Maybe one night you can play a special song for me."

Ryan nodded and continued to play a little music until Marissa was finally ready to go.

Ryan and Marissa were at Summer's house about 20 minutes later. Summer came running out, excited to find out what Ryan had given Marissa and to find out what Ryan thought about his gift.

Summer jumped into the backseat and without even a hello she immediately asked, "Coop? So what was it that he gave you?"

Marissa looked back at Summer not surprised at all, "Nothing."

Summer studied Marissa's face, it wasn't like her to joke and she didn't look as if she was joking. Without thinking he hand swooped up and slapped Ryan across the head.

"Hey! What was that for?" Ryan asked annoyed and rubbed his head.

"What kind of boyfriend doesn't give their girlfriend a gift for their first anniversary?" Summer asked angry.

"Sum, I was kidding. Look, this is what Ryan gave me. Isn't it beautiful." Marissa said pointing to the necklace.

Summer leaned forward to admire it, "Wow Chino, did you pick this out yourself?"

"Actually I did." Ryan replied, "But I think you owe someone an apology."

"Oh ya, sorry Chino." Summer said distantly still admiring the necklace, "Coop, that looks expensive and very elegant. Chino are you sure you're not gay?"

Ryan gave he a look..

"So Chino, what did you think of your present?" Summer asked.

"I loved it, it was perfect." Ryan said reaching out for Marissa's hand which she gladly took.

"Ryan can actually play Sum, he never mentioned that before." Marissa.

"Really, we'll did you guys have a nice day?" Summer asked.

Ryan and Marissa looked at eachother and smiled, "The best." Marissa replied.
