The OC - Marissa & Alex's Relationship

Discuss their relationship here. If you have not seen all the episodes or any read below to catch up.

Alex and Marissa start to watch a horror movie the night her and Seth broke up. When they decide that they are cold, Alex reaches over Marissa to pull a blanket over them. As she leans over and pulls back, they share a glance at one another, and it is something Marissa has never experienced before. Alex and Marissa become very close over the next while, and when Alex's ex-girlfriend will not let her leave her house, Marissa gets her out of it by saying that her and Alex are dating. The next day Alex then questions why they hang out so much, which ended up hurting Marissa's feelings. Later on though at The Bait Shop, Alex is listening to Rachael Yamagata sing a sultry tune when Marissa approaches her from behind and takes her hand, weaving their fingers together. They exchange smiles. On Valentines day Marissa goes to see Alex at the Bait Shop after an awful dinner with her Mom. Alex then asks Marissa if she's in the mood for the beach, which is where they share their first kiss. Alex then feels that Marissa is embarrassed by her because she won't tell anyone about them, but Marissa then tells her best friend Summer, making her happy. In the episode the Rainy Day Women Marissa then moves in with Alex. Alex and Marissa end up experiencing some problems in their relationship manly because of her jealousy towards Ryan. They later break up in the episode The Blaze Of Glory leaving Alex devastated, she decides to go back home and go back to school.
