A/N: Okay so thanks again to my reviewers and let me know what you thought of the update!

Right back where we started from

The next afternoon was sort of crazy at the Cohen mansion. Ryan had taken the next few days off on account of the wedding. He ran a few errands for Kirsten and had promised that house was in tip touch shape to be given to them tonight. The Cohen's couldn't be more excited about it.

That evening they had done the rehearsal at the church and they had gotten back to the Cohen's to celebrate. Ryan emerged from the kitchen and walked across the back yard spotting her. "So nice work with the whole walking thing" Ryan said joking. "Well I have been in a bridal party before but come to think of it this would be the first time I was maid of honor" Marissa said.

"Yeah it's the first time for me with best man duties too" He said. She smiled. "Well you didn't look all that nervous up there" She teased. "I'm not the one getting married" Ryan said. She laughed. "Are you saying if you were you would be?" Marissa said. He looked at her and she stared back at him. "So thanks for talking to Summer" she said changing the subject.

"Ah right so she talked to you then" He said. "Yeah she told me what's been going on. I just feel bad that I didn't even realize she was feeling that way" Marissa said. "It's not your fault" He said. "She's my best friend I'm supposed to know when something's going on with her" She said. "You're a good friend Marissa and you know that" he said sounding sincere.

"Summer just deserves to be happy and I just don't want her to feel like she shouldn't be because of me" Marissa said. "Hey Cheer up this is a party" He said making her look around. She wasn't impressed. "Okay so it's a rather boring party but all in all it's a party" Ryan said.

"You don't like parties" She reminded him. "Never mind that in like five minutes I gotta make a toast so I need you to keep me distracted. You know me I don't do well with words" He said. She smiled. "You finished the speech for tomorrow" She said. "Yeah pretty much" he said. "I'm impressed Atwood" She said flirting. He laughed. "Well thank you" he said with a laugh.

After Sandy had made a toast Ryan figured now was a good a time as any. "So everyone knows I'm not well with words or anything like that but I felt that I should at least say something before tomorrow" He said looking at Seth and Summer who had sat before him. Marissa looked on from the side of the table.

"So anyway I met Seth nine years ago which come to think of it is also when I met Summer he said remembering it exactly as it had happened. "And over the years we've all managed to become best friends and I think I can speak for myself as well as Marissa he said catching eyes with her "when I say that we couldn't ask for better friends then you and Summer. And we all wish you nothing but the best because that's what you deserve" Ryan said.

Summer and Seth smiled happily. "So to Seth and Summer may you always drive each other crazy till the end of eternity" Ryan said. Everyone raised their glass with a laugh and he looked back to catch eyes with Marissa. He smiled.

"So that was some speech man" Seth said. "Wait till you see what I have up my sleeve for tomorrow" Ryan said smiling. "That was really sweet Atwood" Summer said joining the boys. Marissa approached. "Ryan so Sandy said that their ready" Marissa said. Ryan nodded. "Ready for what? Seth and Summer said. "You guys follow me" Ryan said.

They did as they were told and followed Ryan to the front of the house. "So why are the cars on? We going somewhere?" Seth said. "You could say that. Get in you guys" Marissa said climbing into the passenger seat and Ryan drove. Summer and Seth looked at each other and got in the back as Sandy and Kirsten followed in the BMW.

They arrived there in a matter of minutes. "Okay you guys aren't going to kill us are you?" Summer said. "Of course not" Ryan said. "So what's going on?" Seth said. "Just get out of the car and you'll see" Marissa said getting out and everyone met the Cohen's at the front steps. Summer looked up at the house.

"You know this looks like she stopped looking from Marissa to Ryan. "Looks like what? Seth said oblivious. "Okay well you guys we thought we'd be the first to give you your present" Sandy said. "So Seth Summer welcome to your new home" Kirsten said placing a key in Seth's hand. "Are you kidding me?" Summer said excited. "You guys bought us a house?" Seth said shocked. "Bought and built by none other then Ryan" Marissa said.

They looked at Ryan. "And Marissa decorated the entire thing" Ryan threw in. "So let's go inside" Sandy said as they all crowded in looking around. "Coop its beautiful" Summer said looking around. "I love that sofa" She said. "You see" Ryan said. Marissa laughed. "Huh you know you guys this looks a lot like our house" Seth said. Everyone stared at him strangely. "Seth our house was the model. I figured you'd want to raise your family in a house you always felt comfortable in" Ryan said.

"Actually we asked Ryan to build it and it was his idea to model it after the house" Sandy said. "That's awesome bro" Seth said. "Wait till you see the game room" Ryan said. Seth's ears perked up. "Game room?" he said. "Marissa if you'll do the honor's since it was you're special project" Ryan said. "Follow me Cohen" Marissa said going up the stairs being followed by Seth and Summer as well as the Cohen's.

"You ready?" she said. "Definitely" Seth said no longer standing the anticipation. "Okay" She said opening the door. Seth walked in and his mouth dropped to the floor. "You guys this is totally awesome. This is like the ultimate game room" Seth said sitting in the chair. "It is amazing" Summer said. "Nice work you too" Kirsten and Sandy said. They nodded. "I love this chair" Seth said. "Well if it was Ryan's way they would be in your living room but I convinced him that Summer would rather have an actual sofa and persuaded that they would fit in here better" She said.

"Thanks for looking out Coop boys just can't be trusted" Summer said. "Hey" Ryan said pretending to be insulted. "I'm sorry but Ryan come on" She said. "Yeah you're right" he said. "Marissa I'm telling you you're totally my best friend after this" Seth said. "Hey" Ryan said insulted. Marissa laughed.

"What you know you are too" Seth said looking at Ryan. "Cohen back off she's my best friend you already have Atwood" she said. "So?" Seth said. "You guys make it seem like that's a bad thing or something" Ryan said. "I'm just kidding man you know you're my best friend we're like brother's in fact anytime you want to come over and play video games doors always open" he said. "Thanks" Ryan said.

"Same goes for you Marissa" Seth said. "Marissa nodded. "So you guys want to see the rest of the house" Marissa said. "There's more" Summer said. "Yeah plus you haven't seen the yard or the pool house and the master bed room" Marissa said. "Perfect why don't you guys go see the bed room and me and Ryan will just wait here" Seth said.

"Cohen you are coming you're not going to be playing video games now is not the time" She threatened. "Yes Summer" he said sounding defeated walking behind them Ryan who had been laughing following after him They finished going over every part of the house.

The Cohen's' went back to the house to see if everyone else had departed already. Seth and Summer had decided to stay in the new house even though technically the bride and groom weren't supposed to be together the night before there wedding they figured they were already living together so what did it matter.

Marissa had opted to go back to the house Ryan had driven her home. "So I would say that they are pretty happy" Opening the front door and he followed her in. "Yeah they did" Ryan said smiling. "These shoes are killing me" She said sounding annoyed. She kicked her shoes off. "Well what happened to wearing flat shoes you know you could intimidate a man" He teased. "Please I don't intimidate anyone" She said.

"Do you remember High School?" he said. She laughed. "Yeah I do" she said. "So tomorrow's the big day" she said not really knowing what else to say. "Yeah as of tomorrow Seth and Summer will be The Cohen's an actual married couple" Ryan said. "Well you think there happy?" she said looking at him. He stared back at her. "They've wanted this for so long so how could they not be? He said in a serious tone.

She stared straight into his eyes and she felt him staring straight into hers making her feel like he could see right through her. They both jumped at the sound of the phone ringing. "I should" she said going over and picking up. "Hello Cohen/Roberts Residence" She said. He smiled watching her talk until she had hung up the phone. "So that was my mother she wanted to know if we were going to be meet up early to get ready" she said nervously. He nodded. "Right it's the girl thing to do" he said teasing.

"Well aren't the guys getting dressed at the Cohen's?" she said. "Yeah we're supposed too" he said. She smiled. "So I guess I should go big day tomorrow" he said. "Right" she said not really wanting him to go. "I'll walk you out" She said.

They walked over to the front door and both grabbed for the knob making their hands touch sending a jolt making them pull back. They stared up at each other this wasn't planned for either of them but some how it was like they were right back where they started from.

Ryan's heart raced while a millions things were going throughMarissa's head but only one thing stood out clearly. She wanted Ryan. He came in closer leaning in with questioning eyes and kissed her ever so softly. She leaned into the kiss letting him know he wasn't the only one feeling something here. In between kisses they're smiles were evident. And then Marissa looked up at him and kissed him letting him know she wanted this more than anything.

He didn't need her to say it because one look from her and he knew. The kisses escalated and Marissa while still in her dress and wrapped herself around Ryan as he picked her up still kissing her but moving towards the stairs after all this was Seth and Summer's house and they wouldn't appreciate this happening in their living room.

So Ryan managed to get them both up the stairs not really looking too wrapped up in her. She was just as wrapped up in the moment that she didn't even realize that they managed to get upstairs. Their anticipation was just too much to take and Ryan while still having her clung to him leaned her up against the guest room door so that he could manage to get it open.

When he did she attacked him with her lips even more as he gently laid her down on the bed looking into her eyes. He pulled off his jacket and his tie while she fumbled with his buttoned white collared shirt letting it drop to the floor. He kicked his shoes and socks off as she pulled her stockings off throwing them to the floor.

He pulled off his dress slacks as she slowly leaned up and slipped out of her dress never losing site of his eyes as he stood matching her glare now standing in his wife beater and boxers. As she laid there in her bra and panties. He slowly moved closer to her eventually making his way to the bed.

He brushed her hair from her face as she found his mouth and kissed him passionately. "You sure about this?" he said so softly that if she wasn't listening she wouldn't have heard him. She nodded looking up into his eyes.

She gently pulled at his wife beater helping him pull it off and was strewn across the floor just like the rest of their clothes. He found her as she trailed soft kisses down his neck as he returned the favor kissing every part of her and wanting more. "Ryan" she pleaded softly.

He worked his way back to her lips and their tongues came together as one. She disguarded her undergarments as he threw his boxers to the floor. They lay there together as one and spent the rest of the night showing each other just how much they missed the other.
