So here is Chapter 2.

When Summer saw that Ryan entered she simply murmured hello and exited the pool house that was overflowing with tension.

Ryan- Uh. Hi.

Marissa wiped her face off to the best of her ability and stood up.

Marissa- What are you doing here? And what happened to your face?

Ryan- I'm uh back. I'm happier here.

Marissa- Like back for good?

Ryan- Yeah. I mean I will still visit Chino and be there for Theresa and the baby but I realized I belong here in Newport with you.

Marissa- I… Wow. So what happened to your face.

Ryan- I got into a fight on the way to the bus stop.

Marissa- Well come here I'll clean you up. It's the least I can do after invading your pool house.

Ryan- Your not invading. I was going to call you as soon as I got in. I just didn't want to see the Cohen's yet. With my face like this and all.

Marissa giggled.

Marissa- Kirsten and Sandy will be over joyed your back. And Seth well he kind of needs you. He's been eating Summer's face to fill the void. I had the pleasure of walking in on that first hand.

Marissa talked as she walked over to the pool house drawers she knew well and she got out an ice cold wash cloth and pressed it against Ryan's eye.

Ryan- Thanks.

They had about an inch of air inbetween their faces. Marissa went for it and filled the gap. After a few seconds Ryan reluctantly pulled away. Marissa got up and began to leave.

Marissa- Oh god. I'm so sorry. Theresa and you. I just… I'm sorry.

Ryan got up and grabbed her lightly around the waist. He pulled her close to him.

Ryan- Believe me all I want to do right now is kiss you. I just want to talk for a short bit prior.

Marissa- You want to talk?

Ryan laughed at her surprised look.

Ryan- Yeah I had an entire bus ride to think of how I wanted to tell you how I feel.

Marissa smiled and buried her head in his chest. Ryan however pulled it up to look her in the eyes.

Ryan- The past three days I have enjoyed an entire three hours of sleep over all. In my own room. Nothing happened with Theresa and I. She is just an old friend. I made a huge mistake with. But the reason I couldn't sleep was because all I could do was think of you and how much I miss you. I had to go to a doctors appointment with Theresa and in the waiting room, the only thing I could think of is how much I wanted you to be the one in the future to have my kids. I just… I love you so much Marissa Copper. And I'm sorry that I am a terrible person at times, and I know you deserve better, but I love you. So what do you say? Can we give this another try?

Marissa- Ryan of course we can try again. And hey I don't deserve better than you. You are what I want.

Marissa kissed him passionately and they ended up on the bed. In between heavy breaths Marissa tugged on his wife beater.

Ryan- I… Are you sure?

Marissa just nodded. Ryan however pulled away.

Ryan- I want to do this so bad. But we have waited an entire year already. You deserve this to be special. Plus who knows what the Cohen's are doing right now.

Marissa smiled and layed down on his chest.

Marissa- I love you.

Ryan- Thank you.

Marissa shoved him playfully.

Ryan- Hey I am just as easy to bruise as Seth.

Marissa giggled and then remembered his eye.

Marissa- You know I kind of like the black eye look on you. It reminds me of the old Ryan Atwood.

Ryan smiled. Marissa gave his eye a light kiss and layed back down on his chest.

Marissa- So kids huh?

Ryan turned a deep shade of red.

Ryan- I… What I meant…

Marissa laughed.

Marissa- Its ok. I could see myself happy with a few little Atwoods.

Ryan relaxed and kissed her. The kiss deepened until Marissa broke it off.

Marissa- So do you think you should tell the Cohen's your back?

Ryan- I don't know. I'm kind of worried they won't want me back.

Marissa- The Cohen's love you. I just talked to Kirsten about how much we missed you. And hey if the Cohen's kick you out. Calebs place is large enough for me to sneak thirty of you in.

Ryan laughed.

Ryan- Maybe I just won't tell the Cohen's I'm back then.

Marissa laughed and they began to make out when all of a sudden Julie Cooper opened the pool house door.

Julie- Marissa, Its time to go back Caleb has work at… AH! Uh. Sorry.

Marissa hopped off of Ryan who got up as well.

Marissa- Mom can I talk to you? By the pool maybe?

Julie nodded and Marissa gave Ryan a look telling him to go and tell the Cohen's he was back. He nodded and walked into the house after he re collected himself.

Marissa- Mom, look I know that what you just saw looked like two kids fooling around…

Julie- Your dam right it did. I thought he left anyway. Didn't he knock up some white trash.

Marissa- Mom, he left but he's back. I love him. We all make mistakes. I think you remember Luke. But Ryan is a big part of my life and recently you have been too. I want to stay close with you. So can you just promise me to at least get to know Ryan. You grew up in Riverside, and look how you turned out.

Julie- Okay. One shot. Caleb, Ryan, You and I will have dinner Saturday night.

Marissa- Uh… Ok. Thanks Mom.

Julie- You better be right about him.

Marissa- I am. He's great.

Julie- Well ok. Caleb and I are headed back so I take it you will be home later.

Marissa- Yeah. Thanks. Bye Mom.

Marissa hugged her mother a sincere goodbye and then headed back to the house as Caleb and Julie left. In the house Sandy and Kirsten were both hugging Ryan while Seth and Summer stood there with smiles. Marissa entered walked up a few feet behind Ryan.

Sandy- So Marissa, I take it you know Ryan is back.

Marissa- Yeah I ran into him.

Ryan smiled at Marissa and walked over to her and put his arm around her waist and kissed her cheek.

Ryan- Marissa and I are back in action.

Seth- Yes! This is so great. Fantastic Four Summer Fun.

They all laughed as Summer hit Seth.

Summer- Seth I may break up with you if you keep saying lame things like that.

Seth just smiled.

Kirsten- Well Ryan we are glad you are back. But I am exhausted so I think Sandy and I are going to call it a night.

Seth- Night mother, father.

Ryan- Good night. And Thanks a lot… for everything.

Sandy- No problem kid.

With that Sandy and Kirsten left.

Seth- Well what now.

Summer- Well how about we all head to the beach tomorrow. We can get breakfast at the diner. Start off our Summer Fun.

Seth- Oh my genius Summer. I do love you.

Marissa laughed.

Ryan- Alright sounds good. I'm in if Marissa is.

Marissa- Yeah sounds great.

Seth- Okay then we will pick you guys up at ten.

Seth then took Summers hand and walked her out to the car after waving goodbye to Marissa and telling Ryan he was in for some Ninja gaming.

Ryan- So uh… I'll see you tomorrow.

Marissa- Yeah. I'll go and let you sleep. But before I do. What are you doing Saturday night?

Ryan- Well nothing?

Marissa- How do you feel about going out to dinner with my mother and Caleb?

Ryan- Uh… Do you want me to?

Marissa- Yeah my mom and I have gotten a bit closer and I don't want any more stupid fighting with her, so I want her to get to really meet you. Get to know the wonderful Ryan I fell in love with.

Ryan- Okay I can try.

Marissa- Don't try just be yourself. She will love you.

Ryan- I doubt it but okay.

Marissa kissed him deeply.

Marissa- Thanks it means a lot to me.

Ryan recalled the last time this situation came up. He decided it would run smoother this time but he was still worried and his face showed it.

Marissa- Don't worry so much. Get some rest though.

Ryan- Okay you too. And hey if Saturday we are going out to eat with your mother then can I have you to myself tomorrow.

Marissa- Are you asking me out Mr. Atwood?

Ryan- Are you saying yes Ms. Cooper?

Marissa giggled and kissed his cheek.

Marissa- Of course. Bye Ry.

With that Marissa left and Ryan returned to the pool house content beyond words. He decided to text Theresa and let her know all was well before drifting off to sleep. He figured Seth would wake him up early for some Seth/ Ryan time anyway.
