"Coop, I need to go to the bathroom, will you came with?" Summer asked.
"Okay" Marissa replied as she got up from their table.
"We'll be back in a minute" Summer said to the guys.
She took Marissa by the hand and they both headed off to the bathroom.
"Why do girls always need a partner to go pee with?" Seth questioned, once the girls had left.
"Don't ask questions you know I can't answer" Ryan replied.
"How am I supposed to know that you don't know? You know a lot more about girls than I do"
"I'm gonna get us some more to drink"
Ryan quickly tried getting away from the rambling Seth, but Seth decided to help Ryan with the drinks.
"How do you think I'm doing with Summer tonight?"
"Well she hasn't left yet, so that must be a good sign"
"Funny, very funny" Seth said sarcastically.
"Glad you thought so"
Ryan took their drinks from the bartender and they headed back to their table just as Summer and Marissa were getting back from the bathroom.
"Miss me?" Marissa asked as she plopped herself down into Ryan's lap.
"If I say yes do I get brownie points?"
Marissa leaned in close to Ryan's ear.
"I promise you'll get something," she said as she nibbled on his ear.
"Then yes I missed you terribly" he replied with a smirk.

"Where on earth have you been young lady? It's almost an hour past your curfew" Julie demanded the second Marissa walked in the front door.
"I guess I just lost track on time" she replied.
"Were you with Ryan?" Julie asked with disgust in her voice.
"And what if I was? He is my boyfriend and I'm aloud to spend time with him"
"Well I don't think you should continue seeing him"
Marissa folded her arms over her chest defiantly.
"You don't get to chose who I do and don't date" she spat.
"Watch your tongue!"
"Why can't you just trust me?"
"Right, like I did when you were fourteen? Look how that turned out"
Marissa felt her breath catch in her throat, she knew where this was going.
Her mother was going to bring up the taboo subject that they never ever talked about.
"You got pregnant"
The words were ringing in her ears.
She didn't know what to say.
"How do I know that you and Ryan weren't having sex tonight?"
Marissa just starred blankly at her mother.
"How do I know that you're not going to get pregnant again?"
Marissa could feel tears welling up in her eyes.
"How do I know that you're not pregnant already?"
That was the last straw. Marissa couldn't stand to be around her mother any longer. She ran right back out the front door.

I'm thinking that in the next chapter Marissa will tell Ryan about Paige being her daughter. What do you think?
