Chapter Eighteen

Marissa pulled away from the kiss, as she smiled intently at Ryan, the slightly taller boy- his sharp features staring back warmly at her, "God, I would have never thought this would happen…" She said, intrigued, as she giggled, "Hold on, it might not have registered yet.. but did you just kiss me?" She beamed deeply.

"I might've." Ryan whispered, as he stared into her eyes.

"Well then, wow." She grinned, and after a moment's worth of beautiful silence, she looked up at him hopefully, "So does this mean we're officially-"

"Boyfriend and girlfriend, I hope." Ryan finished her sentence, so he could spare her the awkwardness. Marissa's face lit up violently, and Ryan could tell by her glistening teeth, and her precious smile that she was happier than she had ever been, "I'm such an idiot for wanting to believe that we weren't completely meant to be." Ryan said honestly.

"Meant to be?" Marissa quoted, "So you think it's fate, huh?" Marissa sighed, "-Love at first sight?" She smiled gently,

"Gotta admit, Marissa, I think your little theories are rubbing off on me." Ryan said slowly.

"Already?" She asked, her eyes warped in shock, "Usually boyfriends and girlfriends change each other within the, mmm, middle range of their relationship- Guess it must be fate then." She agreed, as she kissed him softly. This time, she didn't have to do anything, because Ryan tormented her mouth open with his tongue, as he sweltered her mouth with slow, and tickling motions.

Marissa soon pulled away, grinning, "I have a feeling, that with you, all I'm going to be saying is- Wow." She frowned, "And usually, guys are the ones that are supposed to boost the girl's ego, not the opposite!" She giggled a harmonious laugh, and Ryan laughed with her.

"You seem to know a lot about relationships- a lot of statistics." He corrected himself, with a grin.

"Well yeah, cause you know, I've been in so many successful relationship, I could write a book." She said sarcastically, as she chuckled again.

"Well I'm glad I have the privilege to be tutored by such an experienced beautiful, girl." He complimented her.

"Coop was supposed to be here twenty minutes ago." Summer said, her fingers tapping violently against her wooden cabinet, "And if she's not here, that would really make it seem like we're hanging out." She looked troubled, "And we're not." She added hoarsely, "Where are you Coop?"

Seth didn't bother telling Summer that Marissa was with Ryan- for the time being, he loved seeing Summer so worked up.

"Sit." She hissed, pointing to her bed, "And don't get any dirty thoughts, Cohen." Summer glared at him. Seth laughed, however she didn't find anything amusing, "Why are you laughing?"

Seth contemplated it for a second, "Cause you know my name." She stared at him awkwardly.

"I know everyone's name. Even the geeky geeks." She said nodding, looking away, as she opened her mouth to say something. Instead, she closed it again and raised an eyebrow, "So you're shocked that I know your name? Am I supposed be flattered?" She started in an unwavering tone.

Seth gazed at her. If Summer had strictly prohibited any 'dirty thoughts´ it would have been best to sit him on the floor- however even their, Seth was turned on by the fact that he was in Summer Robert's house, Summer Robert's room. He tried to hide the smirk on his face, as he imagined a whole splotch of thoughts, "Flattered? Perhaps." He said sophisticatedly.

Summer continued to stare at him, not knowing what she was so intrigued by, "You know what?" Seth nodded, wondering with a smile what she would say, "I gotta call Coop." She said quickly, and Seth's face sunk. Summer giggled when she saw it, "What did you expect? … It wasn't supposed to be just me and you." She said raising an eyebrow.

"Naw, nothing." Seth said with a stern smile- Just hoping for something I'll never have, he thought.

Summer squinted her eyes, as if trying to understand the boy that sat so awkwardly on her bed, "I wish I knew what you were thinking right now." Summer said softly, as she pulled out her phone.

"I wish you didn't." He whispered, but she was already too busy chatting with Marissa.

"Coop! Where the hell are you? You're late! You're making me bond with Cohen." She practically slapped Seth in the face. He closed his eyes, and soon recovered.

"Sorry, Sum. Something came up." Marissa said gently, smiling at Ryan, "I don't think I can make it…" She said slowly, as she pressed her lips quietly on top of Ryan's- she couldn't resist the temptation.

"Ew. You just made out- with Ryan?" She added, perplexed, "When did this happen, biatch? And why wasn't I the first to know?" She glared far ahead of her.

"Cause, it was kind of sudden. Seth could have told you though!" Marissa squealed on her defense. Summer turned her head slowly toward Cohen.

"OK, I'll call you back… bye." She snapped her phone closed, as she glared at Seth consecutively. Seth shrugged, and put on a clumsy smile, and Summer almost pounced on him- but she didn't, because she knew he would take it the wrong way, "Why did you just forget about telling me about Ryan and Marissa?" Summer scowled harshly.

"Er… well, I guess I forgot." He paused. His face looked enlightened, "I have for you!" He said excitedly, "Why did you and Marissa want to befriend me all of a sudden?"
