Talking Hurts

Disclaimer- Usual one applies, but I always use a different one, so pick one yourself.

A/N- Thanks for all the reviews you guys! They make me so happy! :) I guess I didn't make it clear or something, but Summer and Seth are getting married, sorry if I worded it weird or something, but at least now you know.

reviewer- you just have to find out if you were right with your guess, but there's a lot going on.

On with the story...

Ryan kissed and licked up Marissa's legs and up her body until he finally reached her lips. "Ryan..." she moaned.

"Mmm," he replied as he kissed her neck. "This is so wrong...but why does it feel so good?" Ryan continued kissing all over her body, "Because...we've been waiting...so...so long," he told her in between breaths and kisses. "We have," she agreed.

Marissa slipped her hands inside his boxers and took them off instantly. Ryan quickly pulled the covers over both of their bodies and tickled Marissa with his tongue as he playfully licked her ear. "Oh Ryan..."

"I love you so much Marissa," he whispered.

"I love you too." She whispered breathlessly.

He tickled her sides slightly making her squirm and giggle as she rolled on top of him; kissing his finely toned stomach and chest. They continued kissing and panting until Ryan made a wrong move and slipped, ending up on the floor. Marissa laughed and pulled a sheet over her body as she looked at him. "Are you okay?" she asked. Ryan quickly pushed himself up and got under the covers, twisting his wrist. "Did you break it?" "Nah, I think I'll be okay," he said as she leaned on his shoulder. "Ryan?"

"Hmm?"

"I want to hear about your daughter..." Marissa started.

"Maddy?"

"Maddy, that's such a pretty name," she said dreamily.

"Uh, thanks," said Ryan uncomfortably.

Marissa leaned herself on his shoulder, in between his neck, when Ryan put an arm around her shoulder and his fingers found her. He softly massaged them in his own hands. "I mean I love her, she's the most important thing in this world to me, but I feel..."

"As if she'll hate you once she finds out." Marissa finished.

Ryan nodded. "I'm sorry," he continued, "it's not your fault, and I feel even worse for not regretting it."

"You can't help what you feel."

"True," he smiled sweetly at her.

"Would you...would you mind telling me about her?"

"What do you wanna know?"

Marissa shrugged, "I don't know, just basic stuff I guess. I mean...I just, you know," she trailed off, hoping he would get the idea. He nodded and laughed lightly, "There's a lot to tell."

"I've got time," she said with a smile.

--

Marissa nodded and hung up her cell phone and looked over at Ryan, who was still sleeping. "Ryan..." she whispered softly. "Ryan..." she said again as she climbed on his naked back. "Oh Ryan, waaake up..." and started massaging the back of his neck. Ryan still wasn't waking up so she bent down and started kissing his neck. "I have to go," she said suddenly. He immediately rolled over, Marissa tumbling over on to the other side. "What? What are you talking about?"

"My boss called," she said sadly, "and I have to go back to New York...today, my flight's already set."

"When are you coming back?" he asked. She shrugged and saw a sad look on Ryan's face. "I'll be back soon," she said hopefully as she sat in his lap.

"How soon is soon?" he asked as Marissa made herself comfortable in his arms. She shrugged again and added, "I don't know, I told them I want to be here as much as possible."

"I have to look for a place," he told her.

"I'm not leaving until 2."

"Does that mean you want to help me?"

"I think it does," she said in a flirty tone, "and than you can drop me off at the airport."

Ryan nodded, "And than have to go...get the rest of my stuff, Theresa's been calling like crazy, she's real pissed," he explained.

"Well, I'll go get dressed, and than we can leave." "Okay," Ryan confirmed.

They both got out of bed and went over to their respectable corners where their clothes lay; and tried not to look while the other got dressed. "How many days until Seth and Summer's wedding?" Marissa asked. Ryan thought for a minute, "A week, I think," he replied.

"Are we goin..." they asked in unison and laughed awkwardly afterwards.

"Isn't Theresa going to be there?" Marissa asked logically.

"No, she's going to Atlanta, her cousin is going to have another baby, so only me and Maddy RSVP'd," he explained. She nodded and went into the bathroom, inspecting herself. Ryan soon followed, and picked up his toothbrush, as did Marissa. They brushed their teeth for the longest time, looking at each other, and looking down shyly whenever they caught the other's glance.

"Ready to go?" he asked as Marissa picked up her carry on bag and Ryan picked up her suitcase. She nodded and they were off; Marissa linking an arm through his as they beamed at each other.

--

"I'll find it when I can!" Summer shrieked through the phone, recieving some looks from flight attendants and bystanders. "Oooh, I found it!" she exclaimed happily as she picked up the bag. "No, never mind, that's not it, who would have the same bag as me?" she asked frustrated.

"Summer!" a voice was heard through the phone, "We've been talking for an hour, just find the damn bag!" Seth screamed.

"Cohen? Are you having a mood? With me?" she questioned.

Seth calmed down, "No, I'm not, sorry. It's just...you've picked up 4 bags that looked like yours, but they're not!" he told her.

"Yeah, well deal it, you're getting married to me in a week, and if you can't deal with this, than what can you deal with?" she asked, trying to make conversation as more bags passed through the conveyer belt while examining her engagement ring.

Something caused her to look up and she did. She was shocked to see what she did. A man, his arm around a sandy blonde haired, tall girl, his hand in her back jeans pocket, seeming very friendly. "No that's not Ryan," she said, trying to convince herself.

"What? Where's Ryan?" Seth questioned over the phone.

"Huh? Nothing," Summer said. She saw the girl offer the boy a sip of her Starbucks coffee and than playfully pull it back. "Marissa?" she said softly to herself.

"What? Where's Marissa? Are you seeing people again?" Seth joked.

"Shut up!" Summer hissed. "What are..." she trailed off.

"Summer, what in the world are you talking about?"

"I found it!" she lied, "I gotta go, see you at home," and turned off the phone, ignoring the last of Seth's rants. She moved up a little closer and hid behind one of the posts, leaning her head and trying to see the couple.

The girl, waiting in line with the boy, his hand still in her back jeans pocket and her still leaning on him. They were finally at the beginning of the line as the girl and booth lady exchanged papers and the boy and girl moved over to one of the gates, looking at each other sadly. They were facing each other, and Summer got a perfect view, and could see their profiles, and who it was.

Ryan and Marissa.

Ryan's hands on her waist, Marissa gripping his biceps as they leaned into kiss each other. Summer had seen enough and stormed out of the airport. "Miss? Miss? Miss. Roberts! What about your bag?" a ticket lady asked.

"Mail it to me!" she yelled.

"But what..."

"I said mail it!" Summer screamed once again. The lady jumped back and nodded shyly, "Sorry Miss. Roberts," and started walking away.

Over to Ryan and Marissa. "I'll miss you," she said sadly. "I'll miss you too," he responded, leaning his forehead against hers. She sighed sadly and hugged him tightly. "I love you," he said, his voice coming out muffled and choked. "I love you too," she told him with glazed eyes. They both finally pulled back and leaned in for a passionate kiss. Their kiss was interrupted by clearings of throat. They turned to see an old couple, looking at them expectantly. "Sorry," they said simultaneously, moving out of the way. The old couple muttered a few things and walked past them. Ryan and Marissa watched with admiration as the old man held the woman's hand and their luggage.

"Flight 350 to New York now boarding, Fight 350 to New York now boarding," the voice over announced.

"That's me," Marissa told him. Ryan nodded and walked over a little to the gate, continuing to hold on to Marissa. They kissed again, trying to catch a breath, but knew this would be one of the last kisses they could share for at least a week. "Call me when you get there, okay?" he stated. She nodded. "And when you get here," he added. Marissa smiled, "and every night." "That too," he said sweetly, and kissed her forehead. "So you're definitely getting the second apartment?" she questioned.

"Yep, going back tomorrow to sign the lease," he confirmed.

"Okay, well...see you in a week," she whispered.

"See ya than..."

"Good luck with...everything."

Ryan smiled, "Thanks. Have a safe flight." They untangled themselves from each other and a few words and kisses later, Ryan waved as he watched her walk down the terminal, and with one look back, Marissa waved back. She escorted herself inside the plane. He sighed and stuck his hands in his jeans and started to walk back to his car.

--

"Seth! Seth! Seth Cohen!" Summer screamed as she entered their one bedroom apartment. She found him in the kitchen, raiding the fridge. "Must you yell? It's not that big of an apartment," he protested as he walked over to her.

"Whatever," she said as she put her hands on the counter.

"Did you find your bag?" he asked.

"No."

"Summer...I paid 700..."

"I don't care..." she interrupted him, anticipating weather to tell him what she had seen at the airport.

"What do you mean you don't care? That money comes from..."

"Seth!" she yelled. "I saw something," she said slowly.

"Well, that's great Summer, so can the rest of us...see, right now I'm looking at you," he looked at her face, "and you look mad, and I can see that." He added as a last attempt to make a joke.

"I saw Ryan," she started, ignoring his lame attempts at a joke.

"Good for you."

"And Marissa." This got Seth's attention. "At the airport...together, kissing and hugging."

"An airport, that's so cliché..." he started.

"Yeah Cohen, that's the real moral of the story, clichés," she said sarcastically.

Seth shrugged, "Maybe they were just being friendly."

"Sticking their tongues down each other's throats?"

"I don't know, this all is just...it's just too much, I mean how...I don't know," he stumbled.

Summer seemed pissed, so Seth walked over to her and cupped her face in his hands. "Just...maybe we should, I don't know, talk to him later maybe, you can call Marissa, wedding's in a week, see them there, okay?" he suggested. She nodded her head and started to walk away. "Now, about that bag..." Seth trailed off as he followed her into the living room.

"They're mailing it Cohen," she said with a small laugh.

"Yes, but does that include shipping and handling? 'cuz than we have to pay extra," he told her.

--

Ryan quietly entered his 'old' house, hoping no one would be there. But no such luck, Maddy ran up to him, jumping in his arms. "Daddy! You're back!" she exclaimed.

"Hey," he greeted.

"How was your trip?" she asked.

"Who told you I was going on a trip?" he asked, walking into the bedroom and going few a through things. "Mommy."

"Oh."

"Are you going somewhere else?" the little girl asked. Ryan looked into her dark brown eyes, and he felt so distant, "For a while," he replied.

"Why?"

"I have to. Okay?"

"But why?"

"Maddy-who are you talking to-oh," Theresa muttered as she walked into the room. "Ryan," she said coldly.

"Theresa."

Maddy noticed the coldness once again and looked over to Ryan who was packing something in a suitcase. "Mommy? Where is Daddy going?" she asked confused.

"Ryan, I need to talk to you...its important,"Theresa stated.

"Maybe our lawyers can discuss it."

"It's important," she insisted. "Okay," he finally gave in and followed her to the living room couch and sat down. "You're going to have so many questions, but now that we're doing this, I guess I need to tell you."

"Okay, what is it?" he asked with raised eyebrows.

Theresa gulped, "Maddy's not..." Gulp. "She's not yours."

A/N- Whee! What a fun cliffhanger right? Yes, so very fun! lol. Well, next update soon, not sure what chapter the wedding will be in, maybe next one, or the one after that. Anything you want to happen, tell me, but I know what's going to happen, or like small details, but I'm open for suggestions. Thanks for all the reviews, keep them up! Oh, and side note: the s/s thing was that Summer lost a bag on her last trip, was there to retrieve it, and saw RM, thats all, just had a reason for her to be there.
