AT THE COHEN HOUSE

Ryan made his way through the front door and into the kitchen where he found Kirsten on the dinner table covered in paperwork. She was rustling through papers and on the phone at the same time. Ryan walked into the kitchen and waved hello to Kirsten who was still on the phone. She then waved back. Ryan got a water out of the fridge and opened it then began to take a few sips.

Kirsten-"Well just tell the contractors they have to be into the house by Tuesday, Ok? I have to go Rodger, sorry, yes I will talk to you tomorrow, ring we if there are anymore dramas, yes, goodbye"

Ryan- "Hey, you seem busy"

Kirsten-"You have no idea, oh how is Marissa?"

Ryan-"She is good, I just took her home now, helped her unpack" (he took another sip of water)

Kirsten-"Oh that was nice of you!.. And so how are you too?" (She asked eyebrows lifted)

Ryan-"Actually we are good, really good, back together actually" (He said with a smile)

Kirsten- "Awww I am glad!" (She said with a smile)

Ryan- "Hey I was wondering can we have dinner tonight all together? Like as in the Cohens, Coopers and the Roberts as one big family, sort of like a celebration? I mean if you don't want to I'd understand but?

Kirsten-"That would be wonderful I'll call them right away, good idea Ry!"

Ryan- (smiled at her) "Thanks for this"

Kirsten- "Now I will show you some of the floor plans for the new model home…."

It was a busy afternoon Ryan helped Kirsten with drawing all of the floor plans and sketches of the houses, The drawings were exceptional and Kirsten was very happy. Kirsten got started on dinner and Ryan went up to Seth's room where he found Seth listening to his I-pod and lying down on his bed.

IN SETH"S ROOM

Ryan-"Hey man"

Seth-(took out his head phones) "Hey buddy"

Ryan-"Summer, Marissa and the whole family are coming over for dinner tonight"

Seth-"Oh ok cool man, so today was very interesting"

Ryan-"Yeah I know, I am just so happy that she is ok"

Seth-"So what is going on with you guys? Are you friends? Lab partners? Lovers? All of the above?" (He asked eyebrows lifted just like Kirsten)

Ryan-"Actually we are together"(He said proudly with a big smile)

Seth-"Oh really now"

Ryan-(He grabbed one of Seth's pillows and threw it at his head) "Shut up! Get ready people are going to be here soon"

Ryan made his way down stairs into the pool house, he took a shower and wore a wife beater with a nice blue shirt over the top, a pair of Armani jeans and a pair of white Adidas sneakers, he spiked up his hair and sat down on his bed watching TV. He looked good. The doorbell went; he turned off the TV and walked into the house where the smell of roasted potatoes filled his nose. Kirsten and Sandy were already there welcoming people in. Kisses were passed and hugs were 

given but he had his eyes on only one person in particular. She looked beautiful, she was wearing a brown little dress, necklace, matching earrings and flats. There eyes met and they headed straight for each other.

Ryan-"Hey"

Marissa-"Hey babe" (kisses his lips)

Ryan-"I believe that the pool house is calling" (he smiled at her)

Marissa-"Maybe we should check it out then" (she smiled and grabbed his hand and lead him)

They reached the pool house doors, Ryan opened the door for her then locked it behind her. They began to kiss each other, Ryan had his hands on her hips and Marissa had locked her arms around his neck, slowly bringing him closer. Marissa fell back onto the bed and Ryan layed next to her, looking into her eyes, he put a strand of hair behind her ears and looked into her eyes.

Ryan-"You are so beautiful you know that?"

Marissa-"Thanks Ry"

They began to kiss again and Ryan was hovering above her, the kiss became more passionate and more heated. There were sparks flying between the couple like the used to be. Like when they were first going out, It was like they hadn't seen each other for so long and now they were finally meeting again. There kissing was the disrupted…

Summer-"Atwood! Coop! I know your in there! Open up!" (Banging on the door)

Marissa-"Kind of busy Sum!" (She said in-between kisses)

Summer-"You guys have all the time to do that, we don't get to hang out all the time, please guys!"

Ryan-(Gave Marissa puppy dog eyes) "I promise you I will make this up to you later"

Marissa-"Ok you better though" (She said with a grin)

Ryan- (got up and unlocked the door) "Hey guys! Come in" (He said with a fake smile)

Summer-"Finally, hey Coop! How are you feeling sweetie? (She hugged Marissa)

Marissa-"Really good" (she said as she looked up at Ryan who was talking to Seth near the door)

Seth-"So you and Marissa seem really happy"

Ryan-"Yeah, we are, I mean we are taking it slow but we're happy"

Seth-"Looks like the fantastic four is back" (smiling)

Ryan-(smiled back at Marissa and Summer talking)

Sandy entered the room looking at all the kids talking amongst themselves

Sandy-"Dinner is ready guys!"

Seth-"Thank goodness I am starving!" (In a wining voice)

Summer-(runs after Seth) "Hey wait up Cohen!"

Ryan- "C'mon beautiful" (reaching out his hand to her)

Marissa-(accepted his hand and smiled at him) "I could get used to this"



Ryan and Marissa then made their way inside the Cohen house where plates and seats had been set up in a large line, on the table there was a variety of different foods. The whole family started to take there seats, Ryan sat next to Marissa, Seth next to Summer and so on. They shared laughter and jokes and talked about a few trips down memory lane. Ryan and Marissa stole glances at each other the whole night, smiling and settling into this new relationship. Although the whole family knew that Ryan and Marissa were just one of those couples that were always going to get back together after a while, they knew that they loved each other and were not surprised that they are a couple now after all. Everyone felt comfortable at dinner.

Kirsten-"I hope you all enjoyed that" (starting to take the dishes to the sink)

Julie/Neil- "It was delightful Kirsten"

Sandy-"Here I will help you with the dishes" (got out of his seat)

Ryan and Summer were kicking each other under the table

Summer-"Bring it on Atwood!"

Ryan-"Oh yeah?" (Kicked her back)

Marissa- "Guys ok stop it I am not going back to a hospital" (she said pinching Ryan's leg)

Ryan-"Ouch! Ok ok I will stop!" (Holding his leg where Marissa had just pinched him)

Summer-"Ok" (She said laughing at Ryan)

Seth-"So guys, we are off to college soon"

Summer-"Awww I know, Coop and Atwood I am going to miss you guys so much! " (Says in a sad voice)

Marissa-"Awww don't worry Sum! We have to call each other a lot and promise to come back to Newport for special occasions!"

Summer-"Deal!" (High fives Marissa's hand)

Seth-"Do you guys want to go up to my room?"

Ryan-"I think we will leave that for summer" (Smiles at Summer)

Summer-"Sounds good to me" (Gets up out of her seat and goes up to Seth's room with Seth)

Ryan-(Goes over to where Marissa is sitting and takes her hand)

Marissa-"I think you can make up for what we missed out on before" (Smiles at Ryan)

Ryan-"Defiantly!" (Closes the pool house door)

The two begin to kiss and fall onto the pool house bed. Ryan kisses her neck as Marissa tries to lift his shirt over his head. She is successful and throws his shirt to the floor.

Ryan-"Have I made up for before?" (Smiled into the kiss)

Marissa-"Hmmm… not yet" (smiles into the kiss)

Ryan-"Oh really? What about now?" (Kisses down her neck then along her collar bone to her chest)

Marissa-"Ok… you have made it up now" (laughs at him and let a tiny moan release to show how much she liked that)

Ryan-"So I was thinking… about this"

Marissa-"Yeah?,"

Ryan-"I don't know if you wanted to but I didn't want to rush things… you know?"

Marissa-"Oh yeah of course I was just about to say the same thing, I don't want to rush things, we should just take it slow" (smiled at him and kissed his lips)



Ryan-"Cool" (kissed her lips)

Days past and everything was good, Seth and Summer were happy and had a good relationship and Ryan and Marissa had been seeing each other more and more, growing closer. Here they are on a nice Saturday morning at the pier; the couples are walking hand in hand to the diner.

Ryan-"How funny was Seth last night, he loves those Yacusa (don't know how to spell, heard them talking about them on the show) movies"

Marissa-"Yeah, he just kept on going on about how good of a movie it was, I could barley stay awake" (smiled at him)

Ryan-"You fell asleep!"

Marissa-"No I didn't!"(Hit him)

Ryan-"Ouch! Yes you did, I would know, you fell asleep in my arms" (He brought her closer and looked into her eyes whilst they walked)

Marissa-"What can I say you are comfortable to lean on" (Smiled at him)

Ryan-"So is that what you have been using me for?" (He let go of her hand and playfully let go of her hand and walked in front of her)

Marissa-"Awww no! Of course not!" (She ran after him and linked her arm in his)

Ryan-"Ok then" (Smiled at her and kissed her head)

Soon enough they had a arrived at the diner and they grabbed their usual booth. They sat next to each other in the booth. Ryan put his arm around the back of her seat, only inches away from touching her neck.

Ryan-"I'm starving!" (Looking at the menu)

Marissa- "Me too, im craving pancakes!" (Looking at the menu with him)

The waitress made her way over to them

Waitress- "Good morning! What can I get you guys?"

Marissa-"Hi! I'll take pancakes with extra syrup please" (With a smile)

Ryan-"I'll have the same please" (looked at the waitress noticing that she was checking him out, he looked at her awkwardly)

Waitress- "Ok no problem" (Checking Ryan out and then walks off)

Marissa-"Ok, that waitress was totally checking you out!" (hint of jealousy in her voice)

Ryan-"I know that was really awkward" (He said Laughing)

Marissa-"You loved it" (poked his sides)

Ryan-"Oh yeah? Well if I loved it so much would I do this?" (he began to kiss her neck and suck on it lightly, he then found her lips and kissed them)

Marissa was a little surprised at how forward he was being about this, she was really surprised that Ryan did that but so happy that he did at the same time. The waitress looked at them and gave Marissa the biggest greasy ever. Marissa couldn't help but laugh whilst Ryan continued to work his magic.

Marissa-"Ryan, she is so jealous right now! She just gave me the biggest greasy ever!" (laughing)

Ryan-"Good!"

Marissa-"Why did you want to get her jealous?"

Ryan-"Because she needed to know that I am not on the market anymore and am all yours" (He smiled at her)

Marissa-(Smiled at him then kissed him)

Waitress-(clears throat)

Ryan-"Oh sorry, right our food! Thanks"

Marissa-"Yeah thanks"

Waitress-(looked at both of them then put the food down and left)

Ryan and Marissa- (Laughed together then ate)
