The next morning Ryan was awoken by the sun glistening off the ocean and onto the boat, light darted around the cabin, flashing over Ryan's eyes. Ryan squinted his eyes and buried his head into Marissa's neck. About the same time he realized that he was there with Marissa, Ryan opened his eyes and looked at Marissa sleeping peacefully in his arms. All of a sudden everything that happened the night prior came rushing back to Ryan, and a smile appeared on his face. There they were, together, alone, and in the same exact positions they had fallen asleep in. Ryan kept his eyes on Marissa, and in an instant he leaned down and softly placed a kiss on her lips. Marissa was awoken by the kiss but didn't open her eyes, when Ryan pulled out of the kiss; a smile appeared on Marissa's face.

Marissa: Ryan…

Marissa's eyes fluttered open and she found herself still wrapped in Ryan's arms. Marissa looked into Ryan's eyes, a smile still plastered on her face. Ryan couldn't help but smile at the sight of her.

Ryan: Good morning.

Marissa: Morning.

The two immediately got wrapped up in a well deserved, and much needed morning make out session. When they finally parted, Ryan glanced down at his watch, and was shocked to see that it was almost 2:00 in the afternoon.

Ryan: Damn, I gotta go…

Marissa: So much for my plan to stay in bed all day.

Ryan looked back at Marissa and raised his eyebrows, Marissa smiled at him.

Ryan: Some other time?

Marissa nodded her head, and Ryan leaned in for a kiss. After the kiss was finished Ryan pulled away slightly but left his lips lingering around Marissa's.

Ryan: I'm going to hold you to that.

Marissa smiled again and Ryan moved off of the bed heading for the bathroom. When Ryan came out he found Marissa had already changed into a pair of shorts and a tank top, and was sitting on Jimmy's small couch.

Marissa: So what do you have to do?

Ryan: Actually, Lindsay's coming over…

Marissa: (Interrupting) Really?

Ryan: …uh, yeah, we have to work on our stuff for physics…she's my lab partner.

Marissa: Oh…

Marissa shifted her gaze towards the floor, and Ryan took notice of this. Ryan walked over to Marissa and kneeled down on the floor in front of her, placing his hands on her legs.

Ryan: Marissa, I don't want Lindsay…what you thought…you were wrong.

A sly smile appeared on Ryan's face as he looked into Marissa's eyes.

Ryan: If I wanted to be with Lindsay, I would have done it by now…

Marissa: Oh, that's reassuring…

Ryan: …but I never wanted her, she's my friend, and that's it. Well, she also may be the reason why I'm currently getting an A in AP physics…

Marissa: (Sarcasm) Oh that's good, so you're using her.

Marissa laughed a little bit and pushed Ryan back slightly so she could stand up. Ryan stood up as well, looking at Marissa.

Ryan: I told you Seth wears off on you.

Marissa laughed and walked back towards Ryan, she stood in front of him and reached over and took his hand.

Marissa: I know you and Lindsay are friends…or, I know now, and…

Ryan: Marissa, I choose you…you're the only one I want to be with.

Marissa smiled and leaned into Ryan.

Marissa: Yeah, I know…but it's just…

Ryan: Just what?

Marissa: …its just…school on Saturday…

Ryan laughed slightly, and shook his head, dropping it towards the floor.

Ryan: Now you're really reminding me of Seth…it's scary.

The two laughed and Marissa began moving towards the door, pulling Ryan behind her.

Marissa: Come on, I'm assuming I have to drive you.

Ryan: You can't make me walk…

Marissa: Can't I?

Ryan: I thought we all agreed that you weren't the funny one.

Marissa: Hey...neither are you.

Ryan shrugged his shoulders and smiled at Marissa, she smiled back at him while she locked up the boat and then stepped over the rail to join Ryan on the dock. Ryan took Marissa's hand in his, and the two walked up the pier back towards Marissa's car, which she left at The Bait Shop.
