Her phone rang and she rolled over to see the number of who would be calling at…11 o'clock, crap she thought, I have to get ready….FAST.
As the annoying new ring tone Seth had put on her phone played in the background, she ran around her room trying to get her stuff together. The song reminded her of Seth, it was probably him phoning, surprising whoever was on the line wasn't giving up and the phone kept ringing.
"Hello"
"Hey Sum", disappointed to not hear his voice but to hear Coop on the line,
"Hey Coop, whatsup?"
"Um well I was wondering if you were ready I could come pick you up then we could quickly go to South Coast Plaza and pick something up for Ryan"
"Oh ya sure, just give me a few I kinda slept in" Marissa laughed,
"don't worry ill be there in like 20"
"k, see ya then." Summer hung up her phone content on getting herself together in 20 minutes.
Right when she was about to run into the shower her phone went off again, she looked at the caller id and couldn't help but pick it up. "hey I'm really in a rush, I slept in and Coops gonna be here soon"
"Well hello to you too my love" Seth joked,
"Cohen save it, I'll see you in like an hour" Summer said looking through her dresser to find her bathing suit.
"An hour, that's sooo long, I cant wait an hour to see you". She couldn't help but smile, he had this charm about him that she just loved. "I really have to go, ill see you soon okay, love you" she said meaning those last two words.
"Love you too, bye" he said hanging up his phone and falling back onto his bed, every time she said she loved him it always got him, he still couldn't believe that through everything that had happened in the past two years they'd managed to finally keep it together.
An hour later
Seth came down the stairs to find Ryan sitting in the kitchen talking to Sandy.
"Hello father and if it isn't the birthday boy" he said with a goofy smile plastered on his face. Sandy couldn't help but laugh,
"so what do you boys have planned for this unbelievably gorgeous day",
"were gonna head down to the beach with the girls maybe grab a bite to eat", Ryan said just as the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it" Kirsten said, "hello girls" she said with a smile, the girls were always around, sometimes she thought she saw them more then her sons.
"Hey Mrs. Cohen" they both said in unison, laughing.
"Guys the girls are here and they look like they have presents", right then Ryan and Seth entered the room
"presents for me? You shouldn't have" Seth said,
"your such a goof Cohen" Summer said as he placed a simple kiss on her lips,
"and that's why you love me". Kirsten couldn't help but smile, she was happy that both her sons were happy and had two sweet girls.
Ryan and Marissa had made their way out to the pool house.
"Hey I forgot my ipod upstairs wanna come with" Seth asked giving her a wink. Summer laughed considering they had all day and Ryan and Marissa probably wanted some alone time, so she followed him up to his room.
She closed the door turning around to find Seth's lips already on hers,
"well hello to you too" she said pulling away out of breath.
"Sorry I couldn't help it plus you look really good" he said tracing his fingers along her arm. She closed the distance between them and kissed him, she loved spending time alone with Seth.
A knock on the door separated them, both kinda flushed in the face. Marissa walked in, "you guys ready to head out",
"yah lets go" Summer said grabbing Seth's hand.
They had been at the beach for about 2 hours and Seth was starting to complain about the heat. Marissa and Ryan went for a swim leaving Seth and Summer alone.
Seth rolled over onto Summer and looked down at her. "oww get off your squishing me" she couldn't help but laugh. He kissed her and got off lending his hand out to her.
"Where are we going?"
"Come on I'm dieing its so hot, lets go take a dip" he said trying to be persuasive.
"Fine but if u wet me your dead" he laughed
"okay okay, I remember the last time".
He thought back to a few weeks ago when they had come down to the beach and they all wanted to go swimming but Summer refused to get her hair wet. So Seth picked her up and threw her over his shoulder running into the water with her. Ryan and Marissa were in hysterics as Seth was getting beat up by his girlfriend.
"I think I still have a bruise for that" he said looking down at his arm. She laughed grabbing his hand to pull her up, he put his arm around her waist as they walked down to the water.
"Come on in guys, its so warm" Ryan called as Marissa was splashing him.
"Your gonna get it" he said as he grabbed her and dunked her under, both laughing.
"Come on Sum" Marissa said.
Seth grabbed her hand and kinda pulled her closer to the water, as it ran over their feet, "but its cold" she complained.
She went in anyway, Marissa was on Ryan's shoulders and Summer was on Seth's. They were play fighting and Summer and Marissa were trying to knock each other over, of course the team of Ryan and Marissa won but not without a good fight.
"Hey you wanna head back up" Marissa asked Ryan,
"yah sure". They walked hand in hand up to blankets,
"so are you having a good birthday so far" Marissa asked,
"well I have to say you and me make a good team, and us winning made my day" he leaned in for a kiss,
"and yes this is a really great birthday" he said in between kisses.
Seth and Summer watched from the water, "there just so cute, I'm so glad everything worked out with them…and us" she said slightly blushing.
"Me too Sum, its like the old days but better" he said swimming over to her as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
After the beach they headed down to the Crab Shack for a bite to eat. They came back to the Cohen's and Ryan opened up his presents. Kirsten and Sandy had bought a cake so they all sat around the table talking about their day.
"We could have won, if only Cohen wasn't so feeble",
"Hey! Who are you calling feeble, you were the one who couldn't even push Marissa."
Sandy and Kirsten just looked at each other and laughed. It was the ritual for Seth and Summer to bicker, it was their nightly entertainment.
A few weeks passed and the fabulous four were getting along like no other. This summer was probably the best they'd all ever had.
A ring of the doorbell awoke Sandy from his coffee coma. He headed to the front door,
"Hello Summer",
"Hey Mr. Cohen, is Seth around"
"yah he's just up in his room"
"thanks" she smiled, excited to see her boyfriend.
knocks "Cohen?" she said expecting an answer, which she didn't receive. That's weird she thought, so she let herself in.
"Cohen?" she asked again, only to find him asleep on his bed. She smiled to herself, he looked so cute with his hair all messy.
She walked over to his bed and laid down beside him. She brushed a piece of hair off his face, mesmerized by his features, she really loved everything about him.
He stirred a little and opened up his eyes to find the girl he'd just been dreaming about.
"Summer?" he said as he rubbed his eyes. She didn't say anything she just looked into his deep brown eyes and kissed him.
"Well this is a nice way to get up" he said as she curled up beside him and he wrapped his arms around her.
"Yah I could get used to this" she said, as a smile escaped his lips she couldn't help but laugh.
They laid there for a while until Summer spoke up, "there's a party tonight down at Daniel's beach house, he called me last night." Seth looked at her skeptically,
"Daniel called you?"
"Cohen don't, why are you giving me that look, I think it could be fun, we'll get Marissa and Ryan to come too" she said.
"I guess if you really want to", he said a little less enthusiastic as she expected.
"Well if you don't want to we won't I just thought that…" he cut her off, "no its fine if that's what you wanna do, lets go."
He got up from his bed, "where are you going?" she asked a little disappointed that he didn't want to just lay there with her like they usually did.
"I'm hungry, you coming?" he said extending his hand to her, "yah" she said accepting his hand, he was acting kind of funny.
They walked downstairs to find Marissa and Ryan sitting in the kitchen eating cereal. "Hey Coop", Summer said walking over to her best friend and giving her a hug.
"So there's this party tonight that Daniel invited Summer too", Seth said with a little flinch of anger in his voice.
Marissa looked and Summer and she kind of just brushed it off, he was probably just a little jealous. If some girl called Seth and invited him to a party, she'd be a little jealous too.
"Yah, so Cohen and I are going to go, you guys in?"
Ryan looked at Marissa, "interested?" he said.
"Yah why not, we haven't been to one in a while, could be fun" Marissa said looking at Summer who nodded.
"Well then why don't we all meet at my house at 9?" Summer said.
It was agreed upon and Summer and Marissa headed out in search of a really cute outfit to wear for tonight's party.
At the mall
"So Seth was a little weird about the Daniel thing" Marissa commented as she was browsing through skirts.
"Yah I think he was a little jealous, I don't know, he knew I used to like him like 100 years ago",
"How about this" Summer said as she showed Marissa the top she just picked up.
"So cute, you should get it, and I totally forgot you liked Daniel… but I mean that was like so long ago."
"Yah I know, whatever." Summer didn't know why Seth was acting funny, she just wanted to forget about it.
Later that Night
The music was really loud as they walked into the party. Marissa and Ryan went off in one direction and Seth and Summer in another.
"Hey you want to go get a drink or something?" she asked Seth.
"Yah" he said pulling her to the bar.
"So you were acting kinda funny today, what's going on?" Summer said really wanting to know what was going on, as she spotted Daniel coming towards her from the corner of her eye. Perfect timing she thought, as a drunken Daniel stumbled over to her.
"Suuuuuuummmmmer"
"hey" she said looking at Seth who looked clearly annoyed.
"What's up babe? Looking good" he slurred dangling his arm around her neck, she rolled her eyes, "thanks"
"so who's this?" he said pointing to Seth, Summer untangled herself from him and grabbed Seth's hand.
"This is my boyfriend Seth", she looked at Seth again, to still see the anger in his eyes and he was still starring at Daniel.
"Your boyfriend, Summer but what about me?" Seth was clearly pissed off by this point,
"I'm gonna go" Seth said, walking away from Summer.
"Wait, Seth!" she called, but he was already too far ahead, and the music was so loud, he would never be able to hear her.
"That guys a clown Summer, why are you with him?" Daniel asked taking another sip of his drink.
"Ugh, you don't even know him, and can you please get your hands off me" she yelled, a few people looked at her.
She pushed her way through the crowd of drunken teenagers in search of finding Seth.
