The OC: Ten Years Later, 2015

Chapter 2 the Meeting

"Ryan"...

"Oh my God... Marissa" "What are you doing here" asked Ryan shocked but interested

"I live and work here, what are you doing here" asked Marissa

"I also live and work here" replied Ryan "So uh how long have you been here" asked a curious but slightly a jittery Ryan.

"Almost 8years, how about you" asked Marissa "The same" and now we cross paths thought Ryan. "So where were you heading off too"

"I have a photo shoot to get too". "So you're a photographer" "Actually I'm a fashion designer, so uh what do you do"

"I'm in construction. I'm just working round the corner building a new set of flats overlooking Central Park." "Well I hope they turn out good. Listening sorry to be like this but I'm really late for my photo shoot so I got to jet but hey why don't we switch numbers and meet up sometime" asked Marissa "Have a chat I think we need to catch up" "Um sure sounds good". Marissa gave Ryan her card "Here take my card call me sometime" "Yeah sure um bye" "Bye", with all her files picked up Marissa went speedily round the corner onto 59th street.

Marissa started to panic. How on earth could she run into Ryan again, after all these years and in New York? It's like a massive city. Why did he have to come into her life like this when everything had to be perfect? Her fiancé John would have a flip if he found out. He could not find out.

It was any normal extremely busy and hectic day in New York City. Taxis were honking there horns, people were charging about and people were barging in and out of shops. Marissa finally reached her own fashion shoot business place called Marissa Things (that's the title for now until I think of something better).

"I'm so sorry I'm late, I ran into an old friend". "Oh it is that guy you were telling me about, that guy from Chino" asked Kathleen or Kaka (see what I did there hehe).

"It might have been" "Wow what does he look like, still like you said" quizzed Kath. Marissa's' voice turned into a soft whisper and replied "Unfortunately yes" "Oh my God, just remember you're engaged" "Like I couldn't forget" She didn't know weather she felt excited, disappointed or nervous to see Ryan again. She moved to New York to move on with her life and get away from Newport. All she hoped was that old feelings

Wouldn't resurface.
