Chapter Nine
An hour after they had settled into their hotel room, Summer had unpacked all her clothes with several dresses hanging in the closet. Ryan was bemused, weren’t they here for a total of three days? And yet Summer had brought along at least seven dresses and it was only a small portion of her closet back home.
Ryan had unpacked his clothes as well, it hadn’t taken as long as Summer’s of course. He had unpacked in his own room just for appearances sake but the both of them knew he wouldn’t be spending much time in his own bed.
Summer was just placing all her shoes in a matching line when Luke and Taylor both knocked on the door, entering without an answer. Seth trailed in afterwards, looking rather grim.
“Please. Come in. Don’t wait for an answer or anything.” Summer said, playfully glaring at them. Taylor smiled sheepishly and shrugged, muttering ‘sorry’ beneath her breath.
“Sorry guys. Hey Ryan, I was wondering if you wanted to come play some golf with me while the girls head out shopping?” Luke suggested. Seth pulled a face.
“What’s Seth doing?” Ryan asked, noticing Seth’s expression. Luke shrugged.
“I said the girls were going shopping.” He chuckled at his own little joke, Taylor, Summer and Seth however did not find it so funny. Luke cleared his throat. “Seth’s going to head out shopping so they can find something nice to wear for dinner.”
“Oh. But Summer brought loads of dresses, I don’t think she…” Ryan trailed off as he saw three pairs of wide eyes staring at him. Luke was just laughing. “Erm…I can’t, I’m here to protect Summer.” Summer scoffed.
“Will you chill, Atwood?” She turned to face him, one hand on her hip, the others standing behind her. “Go play golf. Have some fun! Besides, you can’t see what I’m buying.” She smirked, giving him a little wink. Ryan coughed to retain himself.
“Er…”
“Great. Golf time!”
--
Ryan and Luke had been playing golf for about twenty minutes and Ryan was already ready to give up. He had absolutely no idea how this golf thing worked, the people he knew in Chino didn’t really play golf, they didn’t play any sport unless it was a quick game of football or basketball during lunch at work.
He held onto the golf club, pulling it back, attempting to be gentle, when the club collided with the ball he found that even his gentle was a little too hard. Shit. He thought as he watched the golf ball fly through the air and land into a close by pond causing a little splash. He could hear Luke laughing behind him. He turned slowly, carrying a stone face expression.
“Something funny, Ward?” He asked. I really need to stop with this last name business. This is Summer’s fault. Luke chuckled to himself.
“It’s okay. Your better than Seth.” He shrugged. “If that makes you feel better.”
“It doesn’t.” Ryan replied. Luke let out a large laugh.
“Bodyguard, when did you get so funny?” Luke asked, teasing him, Ryan was well aware. Ryan nodded.
“I told you I’d never played!” Ryan chuckled attempting to defend his appalling golf playing. Luke held up his hands in defence.
“Hey! I’m not judging.”
They collected up their belongings as they began to head to a different section. They were randomly talking about cars, which Ryan found he had never had much interest in, he’d always fancied himself more of a motorbike kind of guy if he could have been able to afford it.
“So, what’s it like being around Summer?” Ryan turned to look at Luke, he wasn’t expecting that. “Honest opinion, I won’t judge.” Ryan shrugged, trying to make himself appear as though he didn’t really care all that much.
“She’s okay. She’s nice. You know…it’s a job.” Luke raised his eyebrow and paused for a second. Ryan felt a tad uncomfortable, like he was back in high school and his teacher knew he’d skipped or something.
“Really? Because I find, you know, on the surface Summer can be superficial, annoying, constantly complaining and an all-round pain in the ass.” Luke chuckled. “And then this amazing thing happens when you become her friend, her real friend and she just lets you in, maybe not all the way but that’s okay because even just a little bit allows you to see how truly amazing, beautiful and loving she is.”
Ryan was silent for a few moments; Luke had said everything that Ryan had been thinking these past few months. At first Summer had been a pain in the ass and when things didn’t go her way, she was a bigger pain but then she opened up to him about Marissa and then he started to notice the kind of person she really was. Just the little things. On the surface, she was a rich girl who got everything she could ever want but underneath…underneath she was a girl growing up surrounded by self-absorbed assholes, a father who ignored her, a mother who abandoned her and a best friend who had disappeared. She’s amazing.
“So.” Luke began pulling Ryan out of his trance. He looked at him. “You gonna’ tell me how you really feel about Summer?” Ryan halted. What?
“I don’t…what…erm…” He was never one with words and that was when people hadn’t just knocked the sense out of him. Luke just snickered.
“Yeah, yeah. You think you’re so clever, the pair of you. You think me and Taylor - I can’t speak for Seth, his radar doesn’t usually expand beyond himself - didn’t notice the little looks you two shared? Or the way you look at her when you think Summer isn’t looking?” Ryan was silent. If Luke and Taylor had noticed, would this mean Summer’s father had as well? “I don’t know, Taylor says it means you love her or something-“
“Love?” Ryan half-shouted. He hadn’t given it much thought. Love? Love was such a complicated feeling, he thought he’d been in love before. Just once with an old high school friend, Theresa but how he felt then was incomparable to how he felt now. Did he love Summer?
“…And now I’ve scared you shitless.” Luke spoke up sensing Ryan’s silence and horrified expression meant he hadn’t thought about the idea of love. “Well, for what it’s worth. I think you guys make a good couple. Take care of her.” Luke placed one hand on Ryan’s shoulder and patted it, he then turned and continued heading to the next station. As far as he was concerned, that was that. They’re cute. He stopped. Don’t say cute out loud, Ward.
--
Summer, Seth and Taylor had been shopping for well over an hour and Summer had still not found anything to buy. This is highly unusual for me and I don’t like it. She was frustrated. Nothing held up to her standards anymore. Every piece of clothing, every scarf, handbag, pair of shoes she held up, she considered what Ryan would like and then yelled in frustration when she couldn’t decide.
Both Taylor and Seth had picked up that Summer was clearly annoyed about something but hadn’t voiced their concerns, yet. Taylor watched as Summer had a quick look through a rack of dresses only to sigh and walk away. She headed over there.
“Sum, everything okay?” She asked in the sweetest voice she could conjure. She heard Summer grunt beneath her breath. Taylor breathed in deeply. It’s now or never. Might as well. “Is this about Ryan?” Summer’s head flipped up in immense speed.
“What?!” And here comes the fireworks. Taylor cringed. “Why would you ask me something like that?”
“Well…” Taylor began but quickly trailed of, Seth who had been eyeing up a couple of different scarves but keeping an ear out chose this moment to intervene.
“Because everyone knows you’ve got a thing for him.”
“Wh-?” Summer couldn’t even finish her sentence, her mouth open, she just flitted her head between the two of her best friends. Seth placed his hand on Summer’s left shoulder.
“It’s okay Sum. I don’t blame you. He is a fine piece of ass and if I could-“
“Cohen!”
“Yeah, you get what I mean but-“
“I think what Seth is trying to say…” Taylor cut in, giving Seth a pointed look. “Is that you have been our best friend for how many years? We know when you like someone and we know when you especially like someone. You really like him. We can tell.”
“How long have you guys…picked upon this?” Summer asked in a small voice. Seth had never heard her so quiet before. Seth shrugged.
“Well, I can’t speak for Seth but I saw the way he was looking at you at the Pool party. Why can’t Luke look at me like that? I bake. We do the whole Kama Sutra thing!”
“Yeah…thanks for that Tay.” Summer replied, now she felt like vomming a little.
“Sorry.”
“Good on you Summer. The whole Bodyguard/Socialite thing, what a cliché, what a beautiful tale of two lovers.”
“Cohen.” Summer began, death glaring the poor guy. She went a little quiet and blushed a little. “We’re not…lovers. We haven’t done that yet.”
“Oh Summer! Oh my gosh, you poor thing! And he’s so muscly! Think of the moves he could do! Think of the way he could throw you around the room, push you up against-“
“Okay and I think Townsend needs to go finish herself of in the changing rooms over there.” Summer laughed, lightly slapping Seth in the stomach.
“Ugh! Seth you’re so gross!” She said, whilst still laughing.
“Sorry, I just-“ Taylor hummed. “Oh my god! You guys are totally in a double room.”
“So?” Seth and Summer replied in unison.
“I already tried to get in on that action Taylor, it’s impossible.” Seth replied whilst picking up a pair of shades and posing. Taylor eye rolled him. She turned to Summer.
“No. You guys in the room by yourselves? You’re in your bed, he’s in his but! But…he doesn’t stay in it…” Taylor winked, grinning. Summer groaned.
“Taylor, I get what you’re hinting. I didn’t bring anything for that though. It’s all boring.”
“Well it’s a good job we’re shopping then isn’t it?”
--
The gang were all meeting in the lobby, though they were still in their split groups. Luke and Ryan had got ready pretty fast and then proceeded to hit the bar in the downstairs lobby whilst they waited for the girls and Seth. Neil Roberts hadn’t been around much and whilst he had been the one to make the reservation at a nearby restaurant, he made no attempt to converse with them and only booked the restaurant for five. Summer guessed this meant he wasn’t coming along to join them or his thing on the side. That’s a shame.
Summer, Seth and Taylor were all getting ready in Taylor’s room, Taylor had offered to do Summer’s make up for her, at first Summer had insisted she was fine - she didn’t know why they were making such a big deal out of this, knowing Ryan - nothing was going to happen! But after a few attempts being botched from her nervous hand, Summer gave in and Taylor, who squealed with delight, gladly took over.
Seth insisted on styling her even though Summer always thought he had no sense of style whatsoever but since she already had her dress picked out - a hot red number that Taylor had insisted she buy earlier - she figured the only thing he could pick was her underwear, he had all of five choices - all of which Taylor made her buy and she liked - and a pair of shoes.
Once they were all done and ready, they headed downstairs to meet the guys who were already well into their second drink and they headed off to the restaurant.
Ryan had found it incredibly difficult to keep his eyes of Summer since the start of the evening, how he had managed to keep his hands of her so far, he had no idea. Summer herself, couldn’t keep her eyes of Ryan who dressed in a more relaxed version of usual uniform. His shirt was buttoned down and his hair looked as though he’d run his hands through it a number of times.
They were all engaging in simple conversation, the lads talked about their time playing gold, though the both of them chose not to mention Luke’s conversation about Ryan’s possible love for Summer. The girls and Seth spoke about their time shopping, also choosing not to mention Summer’s emerging feelings though Taylor did let out a few hints regarding Summer’s choice in new lingerie. Ryan quickly cleared his throat hoping Luke wouldn’t notice whilst Summer kicked Taylor under the table, glaring.
Seth dropped out of the conversation by the time they had finished the main course, Summer noticed that he had his eye on one of the waiters who was serving a nearby table. She laughed to herself.
As she took a sip of wine, she felt fingers ghost her left hand, looking to her left, Ryan was engaged in a conversation with Luke about the premier league or something. He made no attempt to move his hand, only taking hers into his own. She smiled to herself quickly before jumping into Taylor and Seth’s conversation about The Valleys.
The conversation continued as Summer continued to hold Ryan’s hand under the table secretively. She had called her father earlier to ask him if he was joining them for dinner, though she had already assumed he wasn’t, she received a text message to say that he and whatever her name is were choosing to stay in. Ew. It automatically had an effect on her mood and Ryan noticed.
Once they ordered dessert, Taylor had insisted that they all try the red velvet cake so then she can make one of her own to compare it with. Luke rolled his eyes but kissed her on the cheek anyway as he ordered the red velvet cake whilst Taylor whispered something in his ear.
Taylor and Luke seemed to finish their cake rather quickly as Summer was only just on her third bite as Taylor stood up and smoothed her dress.
“I need to go to the bathroom.” She announced. “Be right back, guys. And remember to give me full details on the cake. I bet I can make a kick ass one.” Luke placed his napkin on the table.
“Taylor wait, I need it to. Which way are the bathrooms?” He hastily stood up and joined her. Summer glanced at them as the pair giggled and laughed their way to the bathroom, she didn’t need the vision of Luke smoothly grabbing Taylor’s ass though.
“Does anyone mind if I go get that guys number?” Seth spoke up after a few minutes of silent eating. Summer glanced to where Seth was looking and smirked. So typical.
“Go ahead, Cohen!” She winked as Seth, grinning, got up and headed straight over there. Wish I had that confidence…
“So, you want to head back upstairs?” Ryan asked after they had both finished with their cake. Summer flushed, his gaze was intent and she couldn’t help but picture what could possibly take place.
“Well shouldn’t we wait for Seth? Taylor and Luke?” Summer suggested. Why was she so nervous? This was Ryan! Ryan chuckled a little.
“It’s been twenty minutes for Taylor and Luke, I think it’s safe to assume what they are doing.” They both laughed together. Ryan glances over to Seth who was chatting up the waiter from earlier. “And I don’t think he’s going to be done anytime soon.” Summer followed his gazed and smiled sheepishly.
“Yeah, I suppose you’re right.” She stood up and Ryan took her hand as they headed back to their hotel room.
--
Summer stepped into their room, Ryan following closely behind. God, she looks so good. Ryan thought to himself, finding it an incredible task to tear his eyes from Summer’s ass. Summer turned around, glancing at the floor for a little while before looking up at Ryan. How is it that he wants me?
They took one another’s appearance in for a few moments, shamelessly eyeing the other up and down. Summer’s face was flushed as she pictured all the things they could do, all the things she wanted to do…
Before she couldn’t even contemplate running away or backing out or simply stripping herself of her dress and offering herself on a plate, Ryan took two large steps and took her in his arms.
Placing his lips on her own, Summer eagerly kissed him back with all the energy she could muster. Ryan wrapped his arm around Summer, pulling her closer, allowing her to feel his arousal. She threw one arm around his neck, pulling him down to her whilst her other hand played with his hair. I love running my hands through his hair. Ryan chuckled and she felt a smirk against her lips. Had she said that out loud?
Ryan kissed Summer with all his might as she felt his tongue against her lips, begging for entrance, she opened her mouth. He ran his hands up and down her dress, slowly causing her to shiver. Without breaking the kiss, Summer moved her hands from his neck and hair, made her way down to his collar, tugging on it as she attempted to unbutton his shirt.
As she did so, Ryan placed one hand in Summer’s hair, hoping she wasn’t going to kill him for messing it up, the other hand which had been placed on the small of her back, reached down lower and gently squeezed her ass. Summer let out a soft moan. Ryan groaned.
Summer placed her hands on Ryan’s chest as they pulled apart from one another. Just looking into one another’s eyes made them both realise how special, intense and loving the moment they were sharing was.
Ryan slowly unzipped Summer’s dress as she easily slid out of it, he took her in completely. He couldn’t believe this moment, her standing there before him. The line he was about to cross. Suddenly, he just didn’t seem to care about it anymore, he wanted her, always. Summer smiled a little but there was no way she was going to stand here so underdressed if he wasn’t too. She quickly undid all the buttons of his shirt, shoving the shirt of his shoulders hastily. Ryan chuckled and helped along. He threw his shirt on the floor next to them.
Summer did not like that he was laughing at her need, she placed her hand over his erection, gently rubbing and moving her hand up and down. That shut him up. She smirked. Ryan felt his eyes roll back as he fought back a groan.
“Two can play at that game.” He whispered in her ear, his voice all husky and God, he was so damn sexy. He kissed her neck, she threw her head back, moaning again. Ryan smirked against her, playfully nipping at her soft skin. Summer pulled out of his grip and arched an eyebrow. She pushed Ryan onto the bed and climbed upon him, trying to look as sexy as she could muster. He coughed.
He hastily flipped her onto her back, earning a surprised squeal. He grinned, it wasn’t often anything surprised this girl but she was not going to have the upper hand, not tonight. She felt his hands run all along her body, stopping on her breasts as he flicked the straps, placing a kiss on one shoulder, needing one breast in one hand. Summer moaned as she writhed beneath him, feeling all of him.
He reached behind her and unclipped her bra, he wanted to see all of her. Whilst he was palming one breast and kissing the other, Summer ran her hands down Ryan’s chest down to his waistband before tugging at his trousers, pushing them down along with his boxers. As she took him in her hand, she let out a gasp. She wasn’t sure if it was from the attention Ryan was lathering on her boobs or how big he felt in her hands.
Ryan moved his hands down until he felt the tip of Summer’s underwear, he ran his hands over the lace and could moaned into her neck. He slowly slid them down her legs as Summer still held him in her hands, moving up and down. Every now and then, he stopped as the sensation overtook him, he felt as though he was going to burst at any second.
The pair of them became frantic with one another, once Summer’s panties were off, she parted her legs to wrap them around Ryan’s body, pushing him against her and feeling him harden at her centre.
Ryan had wanted to take things slow, wanted things to be special between them but as he slipped a finger inside her, he felt himself unravel. He needed to have her and he needed to have her now.
“Summer.” He groaned. She didn’t respond as she continued to writhe underneath him, moaning. “I want to do all sorts of things to you, make you feel good but-“
“I want you, Atwood.” He chuckled, even in sex.
“I want you so badly, Summer.” He said, as he placed soft kisses down her neck, making his way down. “We’ll do it probably next time.” Summer merely nodded as she parted her legs further, giving him what he wanted. She didn’t care about anything right now, she just knew she wanted him inside her and she wanted it now.
Ryan removed his finger and placed himself at her entrance. He wasn’t sure whether to do it quickly or slowly. They probably should have spoken about this but he let his emotions and the want and his need get the better of him. He hesitated before Summer gripped his shoulders roughly and pulled him closer before he could debate it any further he pushed himself inside her. Summer gripped harder on to him as she wrapped her legs around. She feels so good.
They found a slow, sweet rhythm that suited them both until Summer wrapped her legs around his waist, pushing him to go deeper. She wanted to feel all of him. Always.
--
For what seemed hours and hours wasn’t as Ryan and Summer lay in one another’s arms. For what seemed the first time since his childhood, Ryan felt completely at peace.
He turned to face her, slowly lifted his hand to play with a strand of hair that had fallen across her face. She giggled to herself.
“That tickles!” Though she smiled anyway. Ryan dropped his hand, smiling back at her.
“Sorry.” Summer took hold of his hand that he dropped and held it close to her. They stared at one another for a moment, both of them not feeling the need to use words to show the other how they felt.
After a few moments of silence, Ryan heard a low soft voice, so quiet he wasn’t fully convinced he’d even heard anything.
“Was I okay?” Ryan leant back for a second, her question totally catching him of guard. Summer’s eyes wide, glancing at him and then looking away. He’d never seen her look so vulnerable.
“What do you mean?” He asked in an equally quiet voice. Then something clicked. “Oh God, was that…? Was it…your first-?”
“No.” Summer sat up and Ryan joined her. “I’ve had sex before, I just…” She looked away embarrassed. She looked back at Ryan, his face soft and concerned. “Its just that I don’t remember it.” Ryan scrunched his face a little with confusion. “I was drunk, I had no idea what I was doing. The next morning when I woke up, I didn’t even know what I’d done. My friend, Holly told me. I was so ashamed. That’s the only time, till now.“ A little tear fell down the front of her face and Ryan wasted no time in brushing it away.
“You think that matters to me?” He pushed the hair out of her face, leaving his hand there, softly stroking her cheek. “Summer, you were…amazing. I can’t describe, you were just so…”
Before Ryan could finish, Summer pulled him into a kiss. She blushed and felt a grin form.
“It was like that for me too.” She whispered before Ryan leaned in and kissed her again.
