The fitting Surprise

The next morning Ryan's cell rang. "Ugh hello" He said picking it up. "Atwood great you're up I need a favor" Summer said. "Summer it's like eight thirty in the morning" He said rather grumpy. "Look I had to go into work and I was wondering if you weren't busy maybe you could go with Marissa to her fitting?" Summer said.

"Come on Summer you know I don't like shopping" He whined. "Come on Chino it's not shopping. You're just dropping her there waiting for her to get done and then you're finished. I would ask Seth but I want spare Marissa from a headache since he practically spent the night talking her ear off. So will you? Please!" She pleaded trying to wear him down. "Uh what time?" Ryan said giving in. "She has to be there for nine thirty.

Atwood I owe you so much" She said. "Yeah remember that" Ryan said. "Okay well I gotta go. I'll talk to ya later" She said. "Bye Summer" He said hanging up and dropping his cell phone. He figured he'd get ready now.

He pulled up in front of Summer's at nine and he saw Marissa waiting on the steps. She walked over and got into the range rover. "Hey you know I could have just went by myself. I mean it is Saturday your day off" She said. "No it's not a problem I was up anyway" He said. "Okay" She said. And he pulled away. Things we're quiet. She stared at him.

"Did I do something?" Marissa said suddenly. He looked at her. "What?" he said. "I just get the feeling that I did something last night" She said. He laughed. "No not at all" he said. "Because it felt weird after the whole kitchen thing" She said. He nodded. "You didn't do anything" He said.

"You're sure? Because Ryan I was happy when I got here especially after spending the first night here with you guys. It felt like we could be friends" She said. He turned and smiled. "Well we are" He said looking at her. She nodded hoping that what he was saying was true. "Okay" she said.

"So have you actually seen the dress that Sum has picked for me?" She said. He laughed. "No I was not present for that" He said. "Great I'm so excited now" She said sarcastically.

"Come on you and Summer are best friends. I'm sure whatever she picked you'll like" He said. "Ryan the maid of honor is supposed to hate the dress it's like a rule" She said. "Well maybe this time it'll be different" he said pulling into the lot. "I hope so" Marissa said. He turned the car off. "Come on let's see what awaits you" Ryan said. "Do I have to?" She whined. "Yes lets go" Ryan said dragging her out of the car.

Marissa had already changed into the dress and walked out of the dressing room and outside to the mirror. She took a glance of her long flowing soft pink dress and then turned to Ryan. "So" she said trying to get his opinion. He couldn't find the words. Which made her get nervous.

"What is it horrible? It's horrible isn't it? That's it Sum is going to have to do this without me" She declared. With this he had to laugh. "No it's not horrible. It's really nice" he said. "Ryan really nice isn't convincing enough" She said walking back over to the mirror he followed.

"Okay maybe nice isn't the right word" he said staring at her through the mirror. "You don't say" She said sarcastically. "Truth is you look amazing" he said seriously. She looked at him believing it. "Thanks" She said. "Your welcome" he said.

"I'll just let them fix the hem and then we can get out of here" She said going over to the seamstress. He nodded. Within the half hour they were down. "See that wasn't so horrible" he said beeping the car open and out of habit going to the passenger side to open the door for her. "Thanks" she jumped in and he shut it going around to his side.

He jumped in and started the car. "So what's your itenary for today?"Marissa said. "Uh I'm supposed to meet Seth at the Cohen's" He said. "For some much needed Seth/Ryan time" She said sarcastically. "Actually he wants me to run over his vows to see what I think" He said.

"Seth wrote vows?" She said. "As per Summer's request but yeah so now he wants me to just look it over" he said. "Right" She said. What about you?" He said pulling out of the space and turned leaving the lot.

"I'm supposed to meet my mom and Kirsten to make sure everything's in order for the shower tomorrow" Marissa said. "Lucky you" He said sarcastically. She hit him. "Ow" he said. "You are supposed to be helping with this you know" She said. "Believe me I have other things that I have to finish before the wedding" He said. "Really like what?" She said. He looked at her with a smile. "You got twenty minutes?" He said. She shook her head yes and Ryan smiled backing outof the lot.

They pulled up in front of a big huge gate Ryan punched in some codes to open it and he drove through stopping right in front of the house and cutting the engine. "Okay so what are we doing here?" She said turning to look at him.

"You'll see come on" he said getting out. She followed him out and up to the front door. Ryan fiddled with the keys in the lock. "You know the outside sort of reminds me of she stopped talking when he opened the front door and went in. "So what do you think?" he said.

"It's like I'm in the Cohen house" She said amazed. "You think Seth and Summer will like it?" he said. She looked at him. "This is there house? Summer never told me about it." She said. "That's because it's a wedding present from Kirsten and Sandy designed specifically by me" He said.

"You did this?" She said. "Yeah Kirsten and Sandy came to me with the idea so I thought why not" he said. "It's really he interrupted her"Nice" he said. "Amazing" she said.

"Well I'm glad you think so but I do have a favor. Since I heard about your degree in design I thought since you know Summer the best you could maybe help me with the furniture and the decorating part of the house because the paintings pretty much done now all that's left is the décor" he said. She smiled. "You really want me to help you?" She said.

"Well I'm not the one with the design degree and I don't really think my style would suit Summer or Seth for that matter and if you did this you would be doing me a favor by not making me ask your mom to do me a favor" he said. She laughed.

"You were going to ask my mom to decorate?" she said. "Well yeah she's used to it for the New Port group but now that you're here I thought who better. So what do you say?" he said. "I'll do it" she said. "Great" he said.

"So does this have a matching pool house?" She said. "It might" he said teasing. She went to the back to see that it did indeed have an identical pool house even a pool and hot tub.

"You should be proud of yourself this is really great Ryan" she said. "Thank you" he said. "So we should go you got Seth waiting" She said. "And you have your mom waiting" he said. She laughed. "Don't rub it in" She said following him out.

"So should I drop you back at Seth's?" he said. "You know what don't bother I'll just call my mother and tell us to meet me and Kirsten there" she said dialing her cell. "Okay" he said driving away.

"Hi mom. Yeah listen I was wondering if you could meet me at Kirsten's so we can go over the shower plans" she said. "Okay I'll see you there" she said hanging up. He smiled and they headed back to the Cohen's.
