The next morning Marissa and Ryan were sound asleep snuggled together when Seth and Summer barged in.
"You both better be decent or at least covered up." Summer said entering with her eyes shut.
"Sum, it's like 8 in the morning!" Marissa moaned throwing the blankets over her head.
Summer and Seth opened their eyes and jumped onto the bed waking Ryan up.
"What the $#!" He moaned looking up at Seth and Summer, "What do you guys think you're doing?"
"Summer told me what you did last night man, congratulations!" Seth said nudging Ryan.
"Yeah did she, why don't you go away and we can talk about it later on, maybe in a few hours!" Ryan said throwing the pillow at Seth.
"No way Chino, I heard you didn't give her a ring, I'm going to have to kick your a$$." Summer said slapping his arm.
"Hey!" Ryan said and threw another pillow, this time at Summer.
Marissa laughed and sat up, "I guess we're not getting back to sleep anytime soon Ryan."
Ryan sat up as well groaning as he did so.
"Actually Sum, Ryan did give me a ring." Marissa said as her eyes lit up remembering everything from the previous night.
"Really, let me see!" Summer said, "Let me see!"
Marissa held out her hand and showed Summer the ring.
"Wow Chino, who picked this out for you cause whoever it was has awesome taste!" Summer said admiring the ring.
Marissa smiled, "Actually Ryan and my dad picked it out, isn't that so sweet!"
"Your dad knew about this?" Summer said, "Cohen did you know about this and did not tell me?"
"Seth didn't know anything about it, if I had told him, he would have told you and you would have told Marissa." Ryan said.
"True!" Summer replied.
"He asked for my dad's permission." Marissa smiled, "It was the perfect night Sum!"
"Coop come on, I want details!" Summer said getting herself comfortable on the bed.
"I'll let you two have girl talk, I need a coffee!" Ryan said pulling the blankets off him. He leaned over and gave Marissa a kiss, "Good morning!"
Marissa smiled and watched Ryan and Seth leave the room, closing the door behind them.
Marissa sighed a happy sigh and fell back onto the mattress.
"Comeon Coop your killing me here!" Summer said.
"We were on the boat ride last night he was holding me really close and he told me he wanted to tell me something, so when I started to sit up he told me he wanted to continue cuddling into him. I could tell he was nervous about something I just didn't know what it was." Marissa started.
"Go on!" Summer said.
"He told me there wasn't anyother place he'd rather be and he told me that us meant everything to him." Marissa smiled remembering, "But he wished he had just one thing on him."
"Oh, the ring....right?" Summer asked.
"Yeah, he told me he wanted to propose to me this summer and he realized that last night was the perfect time to. Eventually after we sat quietly for awhile he got down on one knee and said he couldn't wait any longer and asked me if I would marry him!"
"OMG, Chino got down on one knee!" Summer laughed, "I'm so happy for you Coop!"
"It was really the perfect night!" Marissa sighed.
"So when did he give you the ring?" Summer asked, "Did he just pass it to you?"
"We were out by the pool last night and we were talking and he told me he wanted to make all my dreams come true and then he took my hand and helped me up, got back down on one kneww and asked me to marry him again but this time with the ring!" Marissa said as tears poured out of her eyes, "I can't believe the man of my dreams actually wants to marry me!"
"You're both lucky to have eachother, to have found your soulmate!" Summer said hugging Marissa, "Come on let's go downstairs and grab something to eat, I'm starved!"
Summer and Marissa made their way downstairs to the kitchen where the boys were sitting drinking a cup of coffee.
"Hey why don't we all go out of breakfast and celebrate Coop and Chino's engagement?" Summer suggested.
Everyone looked around at eachother and nodded, "Sounds good, I'm starving!" Ryan said.
"Great, let's all go get dressed and meet back here in ten!" Summer said and headed back upstairs.
Everyone met in ten minutes and left for breakfast.
"So when do you guys want to get married, do you have a date in mind?" Seth asked, "Cause I've got to clear my schedule since I'm going to be the best man!"
Ryan laughed.
"Who do you think you are appointing yourself as best man?" Summer teased, "But he has a point Coop, I need to know since obviously I'm going to be the maidrine of honor."
Marissa laughed..
"We haven't talked about it, actually we never once talked about marriage." Marissa said looking over at Ryan.
"I guess it's time now to start talking about it since we are getting married eventually." Ryan replied.
"Well, did you have a time in mind?" Marissa asked.
"Well I figured since we're both going to school in separate places we should wait till we finish but if you were thinking of another time than we can talk about that." Ryan said.
"Maybe the summer we graduate." Marissa suggested, "maybe a May wedding since we'll finish up in April."
"I like May!" Summer said.
"OK May it is then!" Ryan smiled and Marissa leaned in and kissed him.
"You really did surprise me last night, proposing was the last thing I thought you would do." Marissa smiled, "But it was the best surprise ever!"
"I'm glad." Ryan replied, "So Seth, would you be my best man?"
"Is there anyone else you could ask?" Seth teased, "Of course man!"
Seth reached over and shook Ryan's hand, "Congratulations again man."
"And Sum you'll be my maidrine of honor?" Marissa smiled.
"Like I'd let you have it any other way!" Summer laughed and hugged Marissa, "You better treat her good Chino or else!"
Ryan nodded.
"I'm not worried." Marissa said, she was still glowing from the previous night.
A week later Kirsten and Sandy joined them in Greece. Ryan hadn't told Kirsten or Sandy about proposing, he wasn't sure if Jimmy would have mentioned it to them.
"Hey mom, dad!" Seth said giving his parents a hug, "Did you miss me?"
Sandy laughed, "Actually we did, the house was so empty with you kids there." Sandy said directing the comment to everyone.
"I think you boys should stay home for one more year." Kirsten joked hugging Ryan.
Ryan smiled, "We'll be back before you know it, there's always the summers right."
"Very true." Sandy agreed, "At least we have a month to spend as a family, too bad your dad couldn't join us Summer."
"Yeah, maybe he'll surprise us." Summer sighed and Seth wrapped his arm around Summer to comfort her.
"So what's new, what have the four of you been up too? How was your dad's wedding Marissa?" Kirsten asked.
"Great, it was small and intimate. I haven't heard from him since they left on their honeymoon." Marissa replied, "I'm sure they're having the time of their lives."
"That's great, I can't wait to see picture." Kirsten replied.
"Oh I have some on my camera, I'll go get it to show them to you." Marissa smiled and headed up to the bedroom.
Marissa returned downstairs and led Kirsten to the sitting room to show her the pictures.
"Why don't you boys show me to Kirsten and my room." Sandy said.
Ryan and Seth nodded and led him upstairs while Summer went to join the girls.
Jimmy and Haily arrived not long after so everyone decided to head out to grab supper.
"So man are you guys ever going to tell the rents about getting engaged?" Seth whispered to Ryan.
"Yeah, when the time is right. I'm not sure how your parents will react to it." Ryan replied.
"You won't know till you say something, besides I'm sure they'll be happy for you." Seth whispered back, "Just do it man."
Ryan sighed and turned his attention to Marissa who was sitting beside him. She smiled at him and reached for his hand under the table. Ryan held it and noticed she wasn't wearing the ring.
"Hey, you're not wearing your ring." Ryan said quietly.
"I didn't think it would be appropriate until we till our parents, I have it in my purse if you want me to put it on." Marissa replied feeling bad for not having it on.
"No that's smart, i just thought for a second there, that you may, ah." Ryan said starting to stutter.
"Not want to wear it?" She replied serious.
"Yah." Ryan blushed.
"I do, I'm honored to wear it and once we tell everyone I won't take it off." She smiled and kissed him.
"Maybe we should tell them now." Ryan suggested looking at everyone, they were all talking and laughing having a really great time.
"You think?" Marissa face brightened up.
"Definitely." Ryan smiled and squeezed her hand before she took it back to find the ring in her purse. Once she found it she slid it back on under the table.
"Hey guys, umm there's something that I wanted to tell everyone." Ryan said trying to interrupt everyone's conversations.
Eventually he had everyone's attention and he looked over at Marissa before starting again, "I wanted to tell you all that last week after Jimmy and Hailey's wedding I asked Marissa to marry me."
No one said anything, Jimmy smiled and looked over at Kirsten and Sandy to get their reaction.
"What did she say?" Sandy asked showing no emotion what so ever.
"I said yes." Marissa smiled reaching out to take Ryan's hand with the hand she was wearing her ring on.
