"Hello Summer Cohen's office" The receptionist said into the phone,
"Hi Lisa, its Sarah"
"O hey Sarah, hang on she's in her office I will just put you through" The receptionist connected them and Sarah was so happy to finally tell Summer all that had happened in the last 24 hours.
"Hey S, I have been dying to talk to you all day - have you seen the pictures on--" Summer said quickly into the phone, before she could say anymore Sarah cut her off.
"RYAN AND I ARE FINALLY A COUPLE" She shouted happily down the phone, Summer opened her eyes wide in shock, and continued to click on the links of her computer.
"Oh my god, that's so -"
"Unexpected I know, but then I think we have been fighting it for a long time and well now- we have both realised we really need each other" Sarah smiled happily, Summer however was a little bit worried, it was another thing upsetting Ottilie's life, and she knew from her own experience that when you have both a Mom and a Dad in the picture you want nothing more than them to get back together.
"He is just so amazing Sum, I knew the day when we were finally together would be amazing but, it was sooooooo amazing, we just spent the whole day in bed and--"
"You stop right there, I don't need details, he is my brother in law after all" both of them giggled into their phones.
"So your happy with us, I know you are best friends with Marissa but -"
"I am not and haven't been best friends with Marissa in years, you're my best friend, you were my maid of honour at my wedding, stuck by me while I took a pregnancy test, of course I'm happy for you sweetie, its long overdue if you want my opinion" Summer said convincingly,
"What's really the matter Summer, you sound a little distracted?"
"Are you near a computer at all" Summer said to her randomly
"No but can be, hang on" Sarah opened the top of her Macbook on and quickly logged onto the internet.
"So what are we looking at, is it a new collection that you just ordered" Sarah asked inquisitively,
"Go on , the first link on the page, it will explain everything" Sarah followed orders and typed in the above address, her jaw dropped when she saw the results, Ottilie crying in a crowd of paparazzi, and Marissa, bending to pick her up, with the title, 'Who's the kid Mama bear?' The main amount of photos were of Ottilie crying, she looked scared, overwhelmed and damn right frightened, the others were of Marissa trying to fend the paparazzi away and hold onto Ottilie,
"Oh my god, that bitch, does she know what she's done" Sarah said in disgust.
"I know, Ottilie looks so frightened, the crowd alone would-" Sarah said, her voice filled with concern.
"Some paedophile is probably downloading pictures of the both of them right now, how dare she just shove her in the spot light like that, this is a child she is flaunting not a new bag, Ryan will go crazy when he sees this-"
"Oh no, Ryan can not find out, well not yet, she has to talk to him overthis, if I knew the old Coop, and I knew her well, she has most likely tried to get Ottilie onside and is now hiding, to go in all guns blazing would just convince Otty to side with her more," Summer said, half defending the both of them,
"Summer, Ryan is taking her to court on this, apparently Sandy told him that even though Marissa has been gone all those years, law still states the daughter should belong to the Mother unless trialled, and Ryan is not losing his daughters, I was with him when he read over files this morning, I mean with this, he will take her down no question " Summer considered what had just been said, did Marissa really want to take Ottilie away, was Ryan really going to take this public?
"Oh, I didn't know, I had no idea she could actually get full custody" Summer said in shock
"Well she can, but she wont though, My Ry, will beat her, and then we can go on as we meant to carry on, as a little family of 3" Sarah said dreamily
"Don't you think your thinking a bit quickly" Summer said negatively and consciously rubbed her belly.
"No, me and Ryan are meant to be together, and I will take that Marissa Cooper down if she tries to get in our way, look I have to go, someone's on the other line, love ya bye" and with that she hung up the phone and left Summer to carry on looking at the pictures, all of them, of the two of them, she had always thought Ottilie was the exact double of Marissa but to actually see the two of them together was scary, and surreal, it seemed like everyone around her was getting what they really wanted.
"Next outfit please, Miss Atwood" Marissa said, putting on a deep voice, whilst her and Ottilie giggled and walked down their pretend runway, marked out buy all of Marissa's stilettos in the middle of her and Jake's suite in the hotel. Ottilie walked along their shoe runway, shaking her hips dramatically and posing like Marissa had taught her, they had been modelling for the last half hour, all of Ottilie's clothes that they bought that morning, when they got back to the hotel, they were still a bit shook up, they had ordered room service and a personal beautician, and they sat and watched all of Ottilie's favourite Disney films whilst they had some 'girly time' as Ottilie called it having some treatments whilst eating lunch, then afterwards Marissa, curled her long hair like her own, and taught her to model walk, all in time for Jake to come in and watch all of the clothes, not that he cared in the slightest, all he had wanted a minute alone with Marissa, to mainly talk her out of the hole she dug herself.
"And pose, that's it sweetie, and then smile, that's it, well done you're a natural" Ottilie beamed at her Mom's encouraging words as she clapped her along.
"Well you are her Mom, and you are one of the highest paid models out there, so apples and trees" Jake finished off his sarcastic remark with a kiss on her lips, Marissa didn't intend to take things any further, especially since her five year old was currently changing into her next outfit, put she thought of how neglected Jake must be feeling.
"When does she leave baby, I miss you so much" Jake whispered huskily, Marissa faltered at his smile and smiled back at him.
"Please just make an effort with her, I can't tell you how important this is to me" Marissa pleaded as he began to place light feathery kisses on her neck.
"But then after, can we, its been ages" Marissa closed her eyes at his touch, and he smiled knowing he was winning with her,
"MOMMMMMYYYYYYY" Marissa jumped as she heard Ottilie shout her name,
" Tonight baby, I promise and I guess I should get that" Marissa gave Jake one last kiss and ran 'backstage' to help Ottilie get ready for her next 'walk'. When Marissa got there, Ottilie was in her final dress of the night, it was similar to the one that Marissa had worn that day, a white flowy Grecian style and it made Ottilie look as much of a goddess as it did Marissa.
"Oh sweetie, that looks so great on you here" Marissa bent down to zip Ottilie up and kissed her forehead as she did so.
"This has been the best day ever Mommy, Can I maybe, erm, maybe I could please" Ottilie began to ramble.
"Can you what Otty?" Marissa said bending to her level and readjusting her hair clip,
"Do you think I will be able to stay the night" Ottilie asked her timidly, Marissa felt like jumping for joy, she didn't want to push anything, sad if she pushed to much then she would of missed her chance.
"Well I would love you to, but I think we should ask your Daddy first, to see if its ok with him." Marissa said, remembering that Ryan had tried to be civil that morning.
"Ok, can we ring him now then please" Ottilie asked her excitedly, Marissa smiled and walked over to her bag where she had put all of Ryan's numbers. She dialled his number from the page, and shook her head, Ryan still had the same number as he did when they were in high school, as if she would ever forget it.
"Hello" Ryan spoke into the phone, he sounded somewhere loud and his voice was more pronounced
"Erm, Hi, its Marissa, erm Marissa Cooper" Marissa shook her head at her own stupidity, Ryan knew who she was already, but yet her nervousness caused her to stutter.
"Yeh, I know, hey Riss, Oh my god is everything ok with Ottilie?" Ryan spoke, he said 'Riss' Don't read anything into it Marissa, it was a simple slip of the tongue, just because he used his all pet name on you doesn't mean you have a future together, Jake-Future-Jake-Future-JAKE!!
"Of course, we went shopping this morning, then came back here, and well she just asked if she could, if she could maybe spend the night here" Marissa crossed her fingers subconsciously while she waited for him to speak
"I promise I will take amazing super fantastic care of her, maybe take her out for some dinner, then she can come back here, there is already a room she can sleep in, and she will be totally settled and please Ryan" Ryan thought about his options, eh would be in his daughters bad books if he said no, and he really wanted to believe in Marissa, and he was looking like he would have work tonight anyway, considering he now has to do a re-draw of the mansion he is commissioning.
"Well ok then, I suppose, but she wont have any of her things,"
"Its ok, I can have some bought up here, or Jake can quickly pop to the shops, you don't know how much this means to me Ryan" Marissa said sincerely
"Yeah well, I was going to ask Summer if she could baby-sit tonight anyway, I have a lot of work" Ryan said brushing her off.
"Oh, well thanks, I guess, I will get her to phone you before she goes to bed tonight, and again in the morning"
"Thanks, Bye" and with that he hung up the phone, Love you.
"So what did Daddy say" Ottilie came in to ask her excitedly, Marissa smiled at her brightly and Ottilie ran to her,
"This is so great, we get to have a sleepover, oooooooo, we should go out for dinner and I can wear one of my new dresses" Ottilie said wide eyed as she thought of a plan.
"Sure, we will get Jake to choose somewhere now," They walked into the Lounge area, Ottilie on Marissa's hip and Jake put down his blackberry and looked up at the two of them, it took him by surprise how much they looked alike, although in his eyes, Marissa was going through a phase, she would be over ti when she realised how much responsibility she really had.
"Ottilie's staying over tonight, isn't that great," Marissa said excitedly, Jake plastered a fake smile and sighed dramatically,
"Yep,"
"and Ottilie wants to go out as well, so if you could book somewhere that would be great" Jake rolled his eyes and walked towards him as she put Ottilie down
"Remember, you promised to make an effort" Marissa smiled at him seductively and he sighed again, as she kissed him, her tongue mixing with his. Great, not getting laid tonight he thought.
"EEWWWWWWWWWWW" Marissa laughed as she pulled away at Ottilie's squeal, happier than she had been for a long long long time.
Happy Friday everyone! R/R xoxo
