DISCLAIMER: Don't own it, but if I did, I would be happier and the show wouldn't be as good.
Ding dong. The sound of the doorbell reached Marissa's ears and she hurried down the stairs yelling "I've got it!" She wanted to answer it, not her mom. That would be terrible. Sure she had told Julie about the study session, but other then that she wanted her mother to have nothing to do with this.
She opened the door and Ryan stood their smiling. He looked handsome. Marissa smirked at him and said, "Hey, come in." and he obeyed. She lightly shut the door behind her. "Uh, you know where my room is." She motioned up the stairs and he turned around looking at her. "I'll be there in a minute"
"Okay." Ryan looked at her and then jogged up the stairs. He hadn't been in her room for a while and was excited to see it, if it had changed at all. He opened the door and smiled it looked the same as it always did. Perfect, just like the girl who occupied it. Just outside Marissa flattened her hair, took a deep breath and smiled. Leaning against the door for a minute.
"Hey" she finally entered the room and sat on the bed next to Ryan. She looked around for a moment and then back at her partner.
"So…" his voice trailed off. Ryan figured this was just as uncomfortable as Seth and Summer's study session."How's it going with Tommy?" He brought up a subject and wished he hadn't when he saw her face drop.
"Um good." Marissa frowned a little and then continued. "I think he's jealous that we're partners." She laughed a little then looked away, brushing some fringe from her eyes.
"oh well he should be." Ryan joked and shoved Marissa a little. Her responds was laugh and she shoved him back a little. "Oh, it's on!" he grabbed one of her pillows and lightly hit her head.
"Uh!" She exclaimed. She took hold of another pillow and hit Ryan with it playfully. She stood up so that she was now towering over him. "You are sooooo going to get it!" She hit him on the head and giggled happiley. She was having more fun then she could remember having in a long time.
"Oh, not if I get you first!" Ryan stood up quickly and hit Marissa with the pillow he was holding. Then, she jumped off the bed, laughing loudly. She walked over to her dresser where her purse was sitting and pulled out a lipstick. She grabbed the lid and placed it on the dresser.
"Wh-what are you doing?" He asked her, a goofy grin on his face. Ryan got off of the bed and looked at Marissa suspiciously.
"This!" She wiped some of the product on his face and bursted into laughter once more.
"Un-fair. I'm a guy, I don't carry lipstick around, you lose." He told her stepping away. Ryan knew better then anyone that Marissa wouldn't take that. She never would, eventually she would find a way to win this war.
"But, I'm a girl and you punch people all the time!" She wined jokingly as she walked toward him again, theateningly. The lipstick still open. She stuck her tounge out at him.
"Okay how about this." He threw a pillow at her. "No lipstick for you, but a pillow and I go empty handed." He suggested a compromise. Ryan was having a blast. This was so much more fun then he could have ever imagined. Marissa's smile made him weak. He loved seeing her happy, especially when the smiles were directed towards him.
"Fine." She put the make-up away and picked up the pillow. She pranced over to Ryan and hit him, but he wasn't expecting it. This made him fall onto his back on her bed. She smiled and climbed on top of him, hitting him with the pillow furiously.
Their laughter filled the room as they continued to have fun, not studying. Downstairs the doorbell rang and Julie answered it, she smiled nicely when she saw Tommy standing there. "Hello." She let him inside. "Marissa is upstairs, Her study session should be over any minute, you know where her room is?" She was eager to go back to her soap oprea.
"Yeah. Thanks's Mrs. Cooper" He gave her a small uncomfortable smile as she pranced away. Tommy headed up the stairs, eager to catch the last minute of Ryan and Marissa's study session. He was sure it would ease any suspsion he had about them and that made him glad and a little relieved.
Back inside the room, Ryan knocked the pillow out of Marissa's hand and they were both breathing heavily. She was on top of him, hands placed on the side of his body. She was laughing and he was smiling. The lipstick was still on his face and you could see it lightly. The door handle began to jingle but neither of them noticed.
Tommy walked inside and Marissa turned her head, immediately jumping off of Ryan straighening her har. He got up and headed for the door. "I s-should go, um, we still need to finish, we'll set it up later." He gave Marissa a small wave and left the couple in her room to chat.
