Imperfection
(Its been months since Marissa's death, and Summer has gone to brown. Taylor has tried everything to help them settles their problems, and get back together. Seth heads for Ryan's pool house, but ends up meeting Taylor at the door)
Taylor: I'm sorry Seth,.
Seth: Don't be its not your fault.
Taylor: I have failed you though.
Seth: Summer, and I are over.
Taylor: Can we still be friends.
Seth: I should hope so.
Taylor: I'm glad some of your sarcasm is still their.
Seth: Its always been their Taylor, and its not going anywhere glad to hear.
Taylor: Do you want to hang out today?
Seth: Yeah sure, what do you have in mine?
Taylor: I don't know maybe go buy some anime?
Seth: Great idea.
Taylor: Thanks.
Seth: No problem, that's what I do.
(Seth, and Summer spent the whole day visiting different stores. Finally Taylor found the entire series of Samurai Shamploo on box set, and it was all thanks to Seth Cohen. Seth smiled something he has not done in months, and he felt like maybe things were changing. )
Seth: I am glad you found what you were looking for, but….
Taylor: But, but what?
Seth: I never figured you for that type of girl?
Taylor: I am full of surprises.
Seth: I know, and I can't wait to find out more.
Taylor: Really?
Seth: Yeah, really.
( Seth felt something within that he felt before, but it was different it was as if Taylor was here for him along. Taylor was lost in his eyes, Seth just continued to stare at her the whole time. Seth took Taylor's hands into his, and heart beat started to increase rapidly by the minute. Slowly inch by inch their lips met, and then sparks were flying high in Newport Beach. Taylor smiled she finally knew what it was like to love someone who loved her back. Taylor pinched herself to make sure everything was real, and not a dream. After cursing for a minute she leaned in for another kiss, and Seth could see how nervous she was. He smiled at her, and caressed her face for the longest time in an attempt to calm her down.)
Taylor: What are we going to tell everyone?
Seth: Things happen so deal with it.
Taylor: What about Summer?
Seth: I don't know, but lets deal with it when the time comes.
Taylor: Ok Seth, ok.
( Back at the Cohen house Ryan really wanted to talk about everything with Seth, and felt relieved when he walked in. Ryan pulled Seth aside, and they walked into the pool house for Ryan and Seth time. Ryan sat on the bed facing Seth and waited for him to talk about himself. Ryan was really shocked that Seth just sat their lost in thought for what seemed like hours.)
Ryan: Earth to Seth?
Seth: Oh, sorry lost in thought.
Ryan: Don't you want to talk about yourself?
Seth: Not really.
Ryan: No random babbles?
Seth: No, what did you want to talk about?
Ryan: I think that I finally come to a cross roads in my life.
Seth: Wow that very profound.
Ryan: Let me finish wise ass.
Seth: Go on.
Ryan: I will always love Marissa, but I am going to move on.
Seth: Alright, man that good.
Seth: What about you?
( Seth stopped, and thought about his day with Taylor as a smile crept over his face. He thought about the expression that will cover Ryan's face after he tells him. Seth laughed at himself for a good two minutes before Ryan pulled him back to reality.)
Ryan: Seth, your scaring me.
Seth: Ok, I like Taylor.
Ryan: Really?
Ryan: I thought you would never want Dean Hess's seconds.
Seth: Well things changed, so deal with.
Ryan: I am happy for you.
Seth: Thanks man.
