No More Work
That morning Ryan got up extremely early and got ready for work. It was Friday and the last day before he left his business in his new partners hands...and he had to admit he was a little worried. So by 6am Ryan was at work checking over documents and cotracts and building plans, making a couple of coffees in between to keep himself from falling asleep. By the time Gary had arrived Ryan had looked over everything that would be going on over the next couple of weeks. All they had to do now was ring a few people and do some checks on some of the buildings already being built and check on a company of contractor builders for the Hospital going up.
Gary and Ryan discussed all the continuing and beginning contracts for the next couple of weeks and discussed each others partners and personal lives over lunch. Ryan told him about Marissa being in the all clear and Gary talked about having a bub around the house and the effects it had on his wife "The grumpy old bitch" he joked. Ryan sympathised how hard and tiring it must be and Gary also congratulated Ryan on Marissa's news and told Ryan he could still take as much time off as he liked. Gary had learned the ropes quite quickly so Ryan thanked him and they pushed on with their day. They looked over some buildings and plans and discussed important business agendas.
By 5.30pm they were both exhausted and Ryan had let Gary know everything he would need to survive while he was away and promised a long holiday afterwards to spend some time with his family and relax a bit after all his hard work. Ryan was still a little hesitant about leaving him on his own for a long period of time and as being the deputy manager now...and Gary could see the worry written all over his voice but reassured him it would all be fine and if anything cae up he'd let Ryan know as soon as possible (as Ryan had told him "I know I won't be at work and it might seem like I'm on holiday but I will most likely be in town most of the time or if not I won't be far away so please don't hesitate to call...even if it seems like nothing!!!"). And after final discussions and "good-bye"s and "Have fun"s They went their seperate ways home.
The day seemed to roll on and on and on for Ryan and all he could do was think of Marissa or fret about leaving the business in Gary's hand for a very long time. It wasn't that he didn't trust him or didn't think he could do it but it was his business and he didn't like being away for too long because he knew how easily things could go wrong in not even half a day. But now he was driving home and couldn't wait to see Marissa, who for some reason couldn't get out of his mind all day. It was ridiculous how much she had popped into his head that day but now he had as long as he wanted to spend ime with her...and couldn't wait!!!
That night they invited Summer and Seth over to have take-out Thai and watch a few movies. There was laughs and giggles and pop corn throwing and tickling and fun all night until they collapsed on the bed and the matress lounges. The next morning they went to the diner for a big pancake breakfast and spent the day on Paul (Seth's older friend)'s sailboat and on the secluded island they would always go to when they wanted to get away. They roasted marshmellows over the fire at sunset and then quickly sailed back to the port. That night was much like any night they spent together. They had dinner at the diner then headed to the bait shop for a while until Marissa unwillingly told them she had got a headache and it wasn't going away. So they headed bck to the poolhouse where she took some aspirin and then they layed down and watch some movies and played video games and chatted. However, this time, Summer and Seth went home when they all began to get tired and almost fallng asleep where they were again.
The following two weeks went much the same. Ryan and Marissa would spend the day in the poolhouse or to the bait shop some nights and kept up with going to Sumer and Seths for Wednesday night dinner and would get away to their favourite secluded beach whenever possible and Marissa even got the nerve to start driving again (a first only if Ryan was with her but slowly she started driving on her own again. Everyone was so proud but no-one could be as proud of her as herself. She thought she would never do this again but knew she had to and pushed through that scary phase and got back to normal. She was so happy and so was Ryan). They would also go to the diner or (for Ryan unwillingly) go shopping...though occassionally he would spoil Marissa and buy her a new necklace or watch or sunglasses or anything else she really wanted. Marissa enjoyed him dotting on her but hated it when he spent too much on her. It was his money and he worked hard for it and she wasn't yet used to the fact that he was a multi-millionaire as she would state later.
