"Ryan, hey man, weren't you just here?" Seth asked his brother as he opened the front door. Ryan gave him his trademark look and Seth started rambling. "I mean it's not like I don't want you here. I mean… I was…just…" Seth went on. Feeling amused, Ryan stopped Seth from further embarrassing himself. "Yeah. Is Marissa in?" he asked. "In the kitchen, looking for jobs with Summer," Seth replied as he stepped aside, allowing Ryan to enter. Ryan nodded as a thank you and approached the kitchen.
He walked in to see Gabby and Krista playing with dolls on the floor, and Summer and Marissa looking at newspapers. Summer then looked up. "Hey, Atwood. What's up?" she asked. Marissa's head immediately snapped up. "Ryan…hey," she said nervously. Ryan smiled. "So, Marissa I was wondering if you wanted to grab dinner tonight?" Ryan asked, turning a deep shade of red. "Hold up, Chino, what about Lindsay?" Summer butted in. Ryan looked down, "Actually, I broke off the engagement," he said. Marissa felt guilt come over her body. "Oh I hope…" she started. "Don't even finish that sentence. After seeing her last night, I decided this all on my own," Ryan explained. Marissa wasn't convinced, so she changed the subject. "Dinner sounds great. Pick me up at seven?"
Ryan knocked on the Cohen's front door. He was nervous about his date with Marissa. And it all just got worse when she opened the door. She was wearing a short, light pink dress. Her hair was curled and she was wearing only a touch of make up. Ryan almost stopped breathing. "You OK?" she asked. Ryan merely nodded and led her to his car.
In the car, both Ryan and Marissa were deep in thought, when suddenly Marissa realized something. She had missed four years off his life. "So Ryan, what do you do now?" she asked. "Well, I work for Kirsten at the Newport Group," he replied. "Ah, I see. Where are you living?" she asked. "In an apartment. Alone, now that Lindsay moved out," Ryan mentally kicked himself for bringing Lindsay up again. "Oh," Marissa said quietly as Ryan pulled up to the restaurant.
Dinner went a lot better than the car ride. Ryan walked Marissa up to Summer's door. "I had a great time," Marissa said, smiling. "Me too," Ryan agreed. They stared at each other for a long time and the next thing they knew, their lips were pressed together. After a couple minutes they pulled apart. "See you soon, Ry," Marissa said sweetly as she flashed him a flirtatious smile. She walked into Summer's house, leaving Ryan an extremely pleased man.
K! I know it was kinda short, but Ryan and Marissa are together…FOR NOW! What if something, or someone tears them apart?? And what's going to happen with Seth and Summer? Wait a few chapters and find out! Anyways R&R PLZZ!! Will update soon!
