Chapter 3: the Arrangement
Ryan quickly went and got a coffee at Starbucks and strolled back to the construction site. It was certainly a shock seeing Marissa again after all these years. Him being 27 (I got the age's wrong soz about that hehe) and her being slightly younger, time had gone by so quickly and in his mind possibly worn away. He wondered what had happened in her life. Weather there was any room for him...

Marissa kept on wondering why she had given Ryan her number. Maybe she had watched too many Sex and the City episodes but she was engaged, she had a one year old daughter Marina.
She had finished work for the day and was heading home, when she her phone started ringing. She quickly picked it up and answered.
"Hello", "Hi its me, Ryan, listen I was wondering if we could meet up like you said, go for coffee and a bit to eat or something". "Um", Marissa quizzed herself. Did she really mean what she said about meeting up and letting Ryan into her life. She was scared of course but she wouldn't know how things would develop if she didn't give it a try. "Marissa you still there" "Um yeh sure meeting up would be good", "Ok then well how about meeting up tomorrow, Sunday ok about eight o clock, it's the only time I can get off tomorrow, with time left over" "Yeh that's fine. Why don't we meet at Johnny's, you know where that is?" "Yeh I do that's cool see you then" "Ok then see you tomorrow"

Marissa rummaged for her keys in her designer hand bag. She unlocked the door to find John watching TV. She wasn't going to tell him that she was meeting Ryan tomorrow, knowing him he would probably get the wrong idea.
"Hey John, I'm going out with a couple of girls tomorrow evening so I don't know what time I'm going to be home".
"Yeh sure whatever" replied John in the most uninterested voice Marissa had ever heard. "OK then" replied a worried Marissa.
