So I'm finally updating.. Again, I hate crutches. And fevers. Damn my body. Well.. I don't know if this will be the final chapter, or if I'm going to fit it into two chapters. I really enjoyed the last chapter, because I knew what to include.. This one is off the top of my head. Sorry L Hope everyone likes it anyways.
Ryan, Marissa, Seth, and Summer all made their journey back home, stopping at a fast food restaurant, and a couple bathrooms. Once it got dark they decided to stop and stay another night at a motel, it was still almost 4 hours to Newport.
"Today was quite the adventure.." Seth whistled, sitting in between Summer and Marissa on the bed, watching television.
"Yeah. Too bad we'll be back in Newport tomorrow. School? Ugck," Summer flopped onto her back and then sat up, "I'm bored. We need to do something memorable on our last night of the Road Trip."
"Something more memorable than stealing a traffic cone or gas?" Seth spat.
"Oh yeah," Summer exasperated.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Seth, playing video games is not memorable!" Summer whined, impatiently pacing around the large hotel swimming pool.
"We're playing video games in a hotel! This is awesome!" He continued playing the fighting game.
"Hey," Ryan approached Marissa who was looking around the sauna and hot tub area.
"Hey," she smiled, "Having a good time?"
"Yeah,"he laughed.
"There's an ice cream place across the street," she pointed to a large ice cream cone shaped sign, "We could go get some?" She offered.
"Ok.. Hey, Seth, Summer. We're going to get ice cream. Want some?"
"Ice Cream? No way, I only eat frozen yogurt. And Seth here is in super-dork mode," Summer pointed to Seth who was shifting back and forth anxiously while the credits of the game came rolling across. He looked to Ryan and Marissa and just sort of nodded, agreeing that he was a dork. They waved Seth and Summer off and left to go across the road.
"Seth?" Summer walked towards him.
"I'm busy."
"Seth!"
"Not now, I'm about to kill this guy!"
Summer couldn't wait any longer, she lunged forward at Seth, cupping his chin and pointing his face to hers. Seth was surprised, but happy. He dropped his hand from the game and put it around her waist, bringing himself closer to her and kissing her passionately. Summer smiled through the kiss and then pulled herself away.
"Wow," Seth panted, "You should of just told me, I would of quit playing the game."
"Uh huh," Summer gave him a look and grabbed a hand, "What do you say we take this up to the room?"
Seth was shocked. What was going on? An offer to make out? Or more? "Yeah!" they rushed out of the pool room.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"So what do you think Seth and Summer are doing right now?" Marissa sat down on the wooden bench in front of the ice cream shop, next to Ryan.
"Same thing as when we left."
"Yeah," Marissa laughed, then glanced over at Ryan, what she thought would be quickly, but turned into a stare.
Ryan noticed and turned his attention to her, too. "What?" he nervously laughed.
"Nothing," Marissa shook off her thoughts and turned back to her ice cream, "You know.. I really had fun these past couple of days."
"Me too."
"It's.. nice.. That we're friends," What she meant to say is 'It's nice that we're friends, but I can't just be your friend, as we already knew.'
"Yeah.." Ryan gave her a half smile.
"We should.. Get back. To the hotel," Marissa noticed the awkwardness.
Ok, so this isn't really a cliff hanger.. It's just not a full chapter. I have to go back to work, so yeah.. Not enough time to finish this. But next update will be the end. What's going on with Seth and Summer? Will something happen between Ryan and Marissa? What about their return to Newport? Reviews are strongly appreciated.
