Jimmy smiled as he led Marissa's second date into the living room. "Marissa, this is Ryan. Ryan, I'd like you to meet my daughter Marissa," he grinned. Somehow Marissa found herself grinning too, as she shook the young man's hand. His hair was a sandy blonde hue and just long enough to run your fingers through. Even with a t-shirt on, it was obvious his body was that of a god. "Ready to go?" he asked politely, pulling Marissa away from her thoughts. "Yeah," she answered softly he took her hand. Kevin pretended to gag. As they disappeared out the door, Jimmy took his seat on the couch again and turned on the TV.
"So I thought I'd take you out on a picnic lunch. Restaurants are nice but sometimes a little down time is better," Ryan said, in the same shy manor that he greeted her with at her house. The food was delicious. There were sandwiches, salad, deserts, and anything else Marissa could have wanted. Despite how good the meal was, the two remained unusually quiet.
From the Cooper's couch, Kevin Volchok was laughing hysterically. "Wow, what a choice Jimmy. The kid won't even talk to her." Jimmy returned the comment with an ice cold glare.
"You don't talk much do you?" Marissa asked as she shifted her position on the picnic blanket. "Words aren't exactly my strong point," Ryan admitted. "I bet your just nervous. Rest assured, there's nothing to be nervous about. I don't bite, I swear," Marissa said with a smile. Ryan half smiled and let out a low chuckle. "What do you like to do for fun? Any hobbies?" Marissa asked, trying to get a conversation going. Ryan thought a moment before responding, "I hope to be an architect someday, I like to draw plans and stuff like that for houses. I cage fight a little. Y'know normal stuff," Ryan said. Marissa smiled. "Well I think that's really cool. Although the cage fighting came as a bit of a surprise. You come off as a very laidback and sweet individual, not someone who want to beat the life out of another guy," Marissa replied. "Stress relief I guess," Ryan justified. "I could think of other ways to relieve your stress," Marissa said with a seductive grin. She leaned closer to him and kissed him gently on the lips, a preview of what was to come if he was chosen.
"Kissing on the first date, what a manwhore," Kevin commented snidely. "Didn't you two sleep together on your first date?" Julie asked with a smirk. Kevin sunk lower into the loveseat, more than just a little embarrassed.
"So what do you say we get out of here and go swimming?" Ryan asked after a little while. "I've already been to the beach today," Marissa admitted. "Who said we were going to the beach?" Ryan asked as he started toward his car. A few minutes later, they were parked in front of a secluded little pond, and Marissa found it absolutely charming. Ryan was already wearing swim trunks but Marissa, again, had no swimsuit. "Don't worry, I've got something for you," Ryan reassured her. From his the trunk of his jeep, he produced three different swimsuits. A solid navy blue one piece, a pink and purple flowered tankini, and a lime green and yellow bikini. "They say you can tell a lot about a person from what they're wearing," Ryan told her as she picked up the bikini. She changed and returned and took Ryan a moment to catch enough breath to say anything. "What does this one say about me?" Marissa as curiously as Ryan ogled her. "It says your bold, individual, and maybe a little bit headstrong," Ryan guessed.
"Look at that," Julie cooed, "he's got her spot on." Kevin frowned, "Yeah, it's kind of creepy." Julie glared at him. "You know you can leave if you want. I promise we won't miss you," She said feigning nice.
Marissa laughed wildly as Ryan threw her into the lukewarm water of the pond. They splashed around and dunked each other, playing like little children and having so much fun. Every once in a while they'd both disappear underwater for a few seconds, leaving it to be guessed what they were doing. After a while, Marissa got cold and began to shiver a little. "Wanna go dry off?" Ryan asked. "Yeah," she answered. He handed her a towel that she wrapped around her shoulders. He put another towel around his own shoulders and sat next to her in the sand. "Did you have fun today?" Ryan asked. "Y-yes, I d-did," Marissa answered shivering. Ryan moved closer and wrapped his arms around her. "Still cold?" he asked in a husky voice. "No," she answered softly before turning her neck to plant another soft kiss on his cheek.
"How cute is that?" Jimmy asked to nobody in particular. "Cute? I was thinking sickening," Kevin said, pretending to throw up for extra emphasis.
A few minutes later Ryan and Marissa walked into the living room. Luke rang the doorbell a few minutes later. Marissa sent the three boys down to the basement while she stayed upstairs to deliberate.
