CHAPTER SEVENTEEN- “Hens and a Buck”January the 18th – the day before the weddingMarissa awoke to an empty bed, she sighed and propped herself up. Through the glass doors she overlooked the Cohen’s pool, it had been three months living in the pool house. She had told the Cohen’s that she would be moving out multiple times, but Sandy and Kirsten insisted on her staying. Since Seth was living in his own house with summer and Kirsten was the only female in the house it was enjoyable to have her lurking around the house. Besides Ryan enjoyed the late night visits.
Surprisingly to both Marissa and Ryan, there relationship had lasted the three months Marissa had been back in town. Sure they had there fights but they were normally resolved with a heavy make out session. Lately Marissa was declining Photo shoots and staying out of the public eye. Marissa was still in magazine headlines, including yesterdays Woman’s Day announcing that Marissa had been locked up by her mother and unable to leave the house.
Marissa entered the Cohen’s Kitchen wearing her tweety boxers and one of Ryan’s wifebeaters.
“Hey Princess.” Ryan said with his mouth half full of Captain Crunch.
“Hello you.” Marissa scanned over Ryan’s body, only wearing shorts she winked.
“How did you sleep last night?”
“Would have slept better if you were with me.”
Marissa said slowly walking towards Ryan.
“Aww, come here.”
Ryan said motioning Marissa to sit on his lap.
Marissa placed her body on his lap and took a spoon full of Ryan’s cereal.
“Mmm, this … stuff is really good.” Marissa said with her mouth half full.
“I’ll tell you what else is really good.”
Marissa swallowed.
“What?”
Ryan pulled her face towards his own and kissed her softly on the lips. Marissa sat on Ryan’s lap motionless with her eyes still closed drifting off to her happy place.
“Mmm, that was really good. You taste like captain crunch.”
Marissa said wiping Ryan’s bottom lip.
“Sorry I didn’t sleep in the pool house last night. I came in late last night, I was actually drawing up the plans for your boss’ condo and I didn’t want to wake you.”
“That’s alright baby, my boss is more important to you than I am, I understand.”
Marissa pouted.
“No, no one Is more important to me than you are, I promise I will make it up to you.”
Ryan said kissing her forehead and wrapping his arms around her waist.
”You better!”
“Good morning Kids.” Sandy entered the room in his robe and messy hair.
“Busy night Mr. Cohen.” Marissa said trying to hold in her laughter.
“I guess you could say that, you two youngsters would understand.” Sandy said pouring himself a coffee and winking at Ryan.
”So the Bucks night tonight Ryan! What have you got planned? ” Sandy asked with excitement.
Ryan looked over to Marissa who was staring at him with her hand on her hip, two eyebrows raised.
“Yes, please do tell im intrigued.”
“Umm, well were at the bar for most of the night but then later on we have a room booked at the mermaid inn.”
*cough* “and a stripper.” *cough*
Sandy rubbed his hands together getting excited at the thought of the night ahead.
“Aww sorry hunny, I didn’t get the last bit, did you say you were getting a stripper.”
“Uhh…”
Marissa laughed.
“Im kidding Ry, I know you guys are getting a stripper! So are we its going to be a great night.”
Ryan smiled, trying to get rid of the image of another man stripping in front of his girlfriend.
”Look at the time, I better get ready I need to be at summers in half an hour.”
Marissa bounced off Ryan’s lap and kissed him on the cheek.
“Sandy, tell Kirsten to Summer and Seth’s house at around 5:30.”
“Sure thing Marissa.”
Leaving the main house Marissa quickly turned around.
“I love you.”
“Forever and Ever baby.”
Ryan replied smiling as he watched her walk out of the room, trying not to watch the way her bum moved when she ran.
“Your one lucky man.”
Sandy said sipping at his coffee, watching Marissa walk into the pool house also enjoying Marissa’s backside view
“I know.”
“She’d be one hell of a wife too”
“What are you trying to suggest Sandy?”
”No nothing im just making a point, take care of that one, she really loves you.”
“I really love her too, I can’t remember feeling this way ever.”
“Im glad for you son.”
“so who did you hire?”
“I don’t know Seth made the final choice.”
“Great.” Sandy rolled his eyes and left to get ready.
Ryan sat at the table and smiled to himself. Marissa would make an amazing wife, she was perfect in every way, there was no way in the world he was leaving her behind, he lost her once, one time too many.
---------------------------
Marissa arrived at Summers house to find her lying on the bed crying into her wedding dress.
”Sum, what's wrong?”
“I don’t know if I can do this.” Summer replied wiping the tears from her face.
“What do you mean?”
“What if he gets bored of me, I mean we’ve done a lot but he’s making a commitment to me forever, what if he gets bored of me.”
“Aww Sum, I don’t think you understand.”
”Understand what Coop?”
”How much he loves you, watch the way he looks into your eyes, the way he holds you so close that air doesn’t even pass through your bodies, the way he wants to be with you every second of everyday, love like that doesn't just end.”
Summer smiled.
“Well somebody’s in love.”
“What are you on about?”
”I’ve never heard love explained to me that way.”
“I just watch Ryan, its like he’s waiting for me to do something amazing, and every move I make he takes note of I feel so important, so loved. Don’t you feel the same with Seth?”
”Of course, but afraid I don’t give enough back, he’s the one who wants me.”
”Summer, are you trying to tell me that you don’t want him anymore?”
”Yes, I think its way beyond that now I need him.”
“Then why the hell are you sitting here crying. C’mon, wipe thoughs tears away we have a Hen’s night to get ready for.”
--------------------------
Summer’s house was decorated with pink balloons and streamers; Marissa printed off summer’s baby photos and stuck them around the room, just to add the affect. Summers friends and family had arrived over three hours ago and most of them could hardly stand.
Summer had invited a few of her friends from work and Taylor and Holly who she had recently came back in touch with.
The girls had just finished playing the wedding dress game and summer was covered head to toe in toilet paper.
Instead of looking like Summer was wearing a wedding dress, It looked more like she was dressed as a mummy.
“This is great Coop.”
“I think so!” Marissa smiled looking at all the guest’s enjoying themselves.
“Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.”
“That’s one way of saying it, I think it’s almost time sum!”
“Im not sure about this Coop.”
“Hun, its your Hens night, the boys have got a stripper it’s only fair.”
“Alright Alright, Shall I get the girls ready then?”
--------------------------------
AT THE BAR:
Ryan, Sandy, Seth and three of Seth’s comic book friends where at the bar watching ESPN classics.
“Another… one pleeeeeeeeeease” Seth said slamming the empty beer bottle into the table totally off his head.
“Woow, don’t you think that’s enough buddy.” Ryan said sliding the beer glass across the table and telling the barman that his friend had, had enough.
“Ryan! How are you buddy!”
“Great.” Ryan said raising an eyebrow watching Seth slam his head into the table.
“I think its time we get back to the hotel room its almost time.” Ryan pulled Seth’s head from the table and swung one arm around his shoulder.
“Sandy round up the guys were going back to the room.”
“Sure, c’mon boys, get ready to see something you’ve never seen before.” Sandy sounded excited, motioning the comic book guys to follow him to the hotel room.
----------------------------
It had been half an hour since Seth’s Bucks party had left the bar and returned to a private room at the Mermaid Inn. Everyone had tried to sober up.
“Here she is!” One of the comic book guys announced peeking through the window.
Ryan stood at the door and took a deep breath. He opened the door and to his surprise he found not one, but two women dressed in very familiar costumes.
”Seth?!”
“You like them.” Seth said smiling and nodding his head.
“Is this the same uniform summer wore at your comic book launch? How did you find somebody to whip up a Cosmo girl and little miss vixen costume?”
The first girl tapped her shoe at Ryan.
”Aww right, come in.”
At that moment, Ryan didn’t even notice the strippers in front of him the only person he wanted to see at that moment was Marissa.
-----------------------------------
“He’s here.” Taylor said hearing the door bell ring.
Marissa smiled watching the excited girls scream!
“Ill get it.”
Marissa swung open the door to see a man dressed in a police uniform. The police hat was covering most of his face and he was wearing aviator glasses.
“Did somebody call 911 because I heard there are a lot of naughty… Marissa?”
Marissa stood back and shook her head.
“Naughty Marissa?” Summer said scrunching up her face wondering what the hell was happening.
The police officer/Stripper took of his hat and glasses and looked at Marissa.
“Lu… Lu …Lucas?”
