Here is Chapter 8.
After sitting at the table for a while Dawn looked at the clock and saw it was 9.
Dawn- Well kids. Its past my bedtime.
She said goodnight and gave Ryan fourty dollars telling him to take Marissa out and have a look at Arizona. Ryan tried to stop her but she insisted. She then said goodnight one final time and she went into her room that lied in the back. Ryan then stood up.
Ryan- Well you want to go see Arizona?
Marissa smiled.
Marissa- Sure what did you have in mind?
Ryan- Well we could go catch a late movie.
Marissa- Yeah sure that sounds good.
Ryan had been talking about No Country For Old Men for a while so when they got to the theater and were debating the movie Juno, and Baby Momma not considered. Marissa laughed.
Marissa- You've been a good boyfriend we can see No Country.
Ryan smiled and kissed her cheek and put his arm around her. They bought there tickets and went on in and took a seat in the back. With the occasional kiss and thigh rub they made it through the violent movie. Marissa snuggled up into shoulder as the ending credits rolled.
Marissa- Was it all you hoped it would be?
Ryan smiled.
Ryan- Until the last ten minutes. Did you like or will we have to watch a romance to even the score?
Marissa- I don't know. There weren't exactly any hunks.
Ryan faked upset.
Marissa- Oh other than you of course.
Ryan smiled and gave her a quick kiss before hopping up. He helped Marissa up and headed towards the exit.
Marissa- So if Arizona is all like that movie I think I can live in Calebs casa for ever.
Ryan smiled and squeezed her hand lovingly.
Ryan- You want to go back?
Marissa yawned and smiled.
Marissa- Sorry. Yeah I think Im ready for bed.
Ryan nodded.
Ryan- Me too. Ill take the couch. You look tired. And I told your mom I would look after you.
Marissa- Oh so I can mention our hotel detour though?
Ryan turned red and Marissa giggled.
Ryan- Lets keep that between us.
Marissa- Deal. But do you think you could just tell your mom I get nightmares if I sleep alone.
Ryan smiled and wrapped his hand around her waist for a final kiss before he opened her car door and let her in he then hopped in the driver seat.
Ryan- I could try and sneak in I guess.
Marissa smiled.
Marissa- My superhero.
Ryan grinned.
Marissa- So your mom seems Ry.
Ryan- She is I just don't know if I can trust her to stay that way for too long.
Marissa gave him the Im listening look.
Ryan- I just… She always seems to mess things up when they are going great. So I'm skeptical. She seems to love you though. Not that its hard.
Marissa smiled and held his hand as he turned into the trailer park. When they got out they made their way into Marissas room after Ryan made sure his mom was out for the night. He pinned her gently up against the wall and kissed her neck. She giggled and shoved him over to the bed. She then got on top of him and they kissed passionately for a while until Marissa had to yawn. Ryan laughed.
Ryan- Hey lets get you some sleep.
Marissa smiled apologetically and layed down on his chest.
Marissa- I love you.
Ryan- I love you too.
With that Marissa fell asleep and Ryan followed. At around 7 Ryan woke up spooning with Marissa. He kissed the back of her shoulder and then slid out steathly and snuck out to the couch where he dosed off again. About 3 hours later Dawn made her way out into the living area to find Ryan cooking breakfast.
Dawn- Hey Ry just like old times huh?
Ryan smiled.
Ryan- Sort of yeah. I figured you still like bacon and eggs?
Dawn nodded and smiled.
Dawn- So where did you get off to with your fine girlfriend last night?
Ryan smiled.
Ryan- Well she let me go see No Country For Old Men.
Dawn laughed.
Dawn- Ah the world of dating. Does this mean you owe her a chick flick?
Ryan laughed and nodded.
Dawn- Well Ryan she really is great.
Ryan- I know. Im really lucky. She makes me happy.
Dawn- I can tell. You are all grins when she is in the room.
Ryan laughed and then turned semi serious.
Ryan- How about you any new guys?
Dawn looked at the floor ashamed of her dating history.
Dawn- No Ive been focusing on myself lately. I have to get Dawn right first.
Ryan- That's great mom you seem to be on the right track.
Dawn smiled.
Dawn- So do you want to wake Marissa up for breakfast?
As if on cue Marissa walked into the living area in plaid pj pants and a plain black v neck t shirt. Ryan was amazed at how sexy she could look in such a simple outfit. She smiled and walked over to Dawn and Ryan.
Ryan- Well looks like we are all up.
They all smiled and sat down.
Marissa- So you really made this huh Ry?
Ryan smiled.
Dawn- He was quite the Emeril as a kid. No matter what was going on. We always had a family breakfast because Ryan always had it on the table.
Marissa giggled at the though of Ryan in a chef hat. The rest of the week they all got along great. Sometimes Ryan and Marissa would go out alone but most of the time Dawn tagged along. They had great fun. By the end Marissa didn't want to return. Ryan and Marissa had gathered out front will all their luggage. Dawn hugged Marissa and whispered in her ear.
Dawn- Take care of him honey.
Marissa smiled.
Marissa- I will I promise.
They hugged and Marissa got into the car while Ryan said goodbye to Dawn.
Ryan- Stay clean mom your doing great.
Dawn- Thanks. Visit again. Treat her right too Ry shes a keeper.
Ryan smiled and hugged his mother goodbye before he hopped into the driver seat. After a few waves Ryan and Marissa were off and back to the OC.
