It had been two weeks since they got back from there honeymoon. During the day Seth was busy with practices and training to even call Summer but once he got home she had his full attention but that was only for about an hour until he fell asleep. She was quickly losing patience with the situation. He had never worked like this before and really didn't get why he was now. They defiantly did not need the money and he was playing his best. Summer spent her days redecorating there house because she felt that they needed a new look now that they were married, and when she wasn't keeping herself busy with that she was reading over the scripts that were being sent to her. This was new for her usually she had to go find the roles now they were finding her. She was going to make sure the next project she did was going to be something that should would be proud of for life. She was now sitting in the living room with cloths and books trying to figure out the new decorations for the living room. She heard her cell phone ringing and looked at the caller id and got a frown on her face when it was Seth. It was already 7pm and usually he was home at 5.
She flipped open her phone "Hey Cohen" she said normally deciding to give him a chance to explain.
"Hey, I know I am usually home at 5 and I know I should have called I am really sorry about that but I have the greatest news ever" Seth almost sang in the phone
As much as she wanted to be mad and to just hang up on him her curiosity got the best of her "What?"
Seth smiled "That I cannot tell you until I get home but I am calling to let you know that I am safe, that I love you and that I will be home in 20 minutes"
Summer groaned a little "Cohen"
"I promise it is worth the wait" Seth said quickly
Summer rolled her eyes "Just get home" she said before hanging up the phone in annoyance
--
Just like he said 20 minutes later Seth came walking into the house. Summer was still sitting in the living room.
"In the living room Cohen" She shouted when she heard the door shut.
"Sounds great I will see you tomorrow morning first thing" Seth said then there was a pause
"Thank you good night" Seth said then take off his coat and suite jacket before walking into the living room. Summer looked at him and then got a confused look on her face. Normally he came home in work out clothes.
"Why are you so dressed up?" She asked
He sat down next to her and looked down at what she had laid out "I had a last minute meeting so I went out and got a new suite for it considering I didn't really have one with me. Well actually I had my assistant get it but that is not what is important" Seth cut himself off before he started rambling
Summer nodded her head for him to continue
"Guess who is opening up his own club" Seth said as his face lit up
Summer's jaw dropped and she just stared at him. His face slowly fell as he was Summer unexpected reaction.
"Why?" was all she said after a minutes of silence
"Well think about how much I love music and this gives me a chance to give actual talent to get a break" Seth said somewhat sadly
"Okay but why your own club Cohen I mean you already have a clothing line, 2 fragrances both him and her, you have endorsements with like 10 companies and basketball. Isn't that enough work?" She asked trying to reason with him
"I am making sure that when I no longer have the basketball career and the endorsements that I can still take care of us and our family." He said while taking her hands in his and locking eyes with her.
As much as she was not happy about this knowing that it only meant he would be working more she couldn't help but fall in love with him impossibly more than she already was. She slowly nodded her head "Okay Cohen then you have my support"
He was instantly cheery once again and he quickly kissed her then pulled away and smiled at her before kissing her again and this time he kissed her more slowly hoping to show her just how happy she made him and how much she meant to him.

The next day Seth was out of the house before Summer had even gotten up which normally he woke her up to say goodbye and give her much needed morning coffee. He did leave a apology with a rose. Summer got out of bed and went downstairs and was disappointed to see that he hadn't even made a pot of coffee. She sighed as she began making the coffee but the phone began to ring so she set everything down and answered the phone.
"Hello" she said somewhat impatiently
"Hey Sum haven't got your coffee yet?" Marissa asked
"Coop what do you want?" Summer asked not in the mood for always happy Marissa
"Are you free today?" Marissa asked getting right to the point
"Uhh yeah why what's up?" Summer asked finally letting her attitude go
"Well I leave for Paris in a week for month and I wanted to get some quality time in." Marissa explained
"Oh that's right well umm how about the spa I need to relax then lunch" Summer suggested
"Sounds great I will be over in about an hour" Marissa said
"Kay bye" Summer said before hanging up then going upstairs to get ready.

Seth had just gotten out of his meeting with the man who had put the idea of a club in his head. His name was Daniel he was fresh out of college and had been bugging Seth for almost a year before he could even get a chance to pitch the idea to him and once he did he was not going to miss the chance to get the club started. He was a huge Knicks fan and adored how Seth didn't seem to fit the typical basketball play profile not to mention they had the same taste in music. Daniel was already showing Seth many potential spots for the club but Seth had came up with the idea of starting fresh and just building the club. Daniel was skeptical at first worried that a bad contractor might blow his chance but when Seth said he knew a very reliable source Daniel trusted him. So as Seth got in his Range Rover he dialed his brothers number. Ryan of course owned his own architerticure company and had been talking about expanding to the West coast. Plus it would give him an excuse to see Marissa for a little while. They were struggling through the long distance relationship but they were both still willing to put in the work to keep there relationship. Seth dialed his number waiting for him to pick up.
"Hey Seth what's up?" Ryan asked obliviously already busy
"Hey bro not a lot I have a business proposition for you" Seth said trying to build up his chances
"What is it?" Ryan asked less impatient
"Well remember how you have been talking about expanding to the West coast?" Seth asked
"Yeah" Ryan answered
"How about you start by building the next big club in L.A?" Seth said
"Who's club?" Ryan asked curiously
"Mine" Seth said proudly
"Yours?" Ryan asked knowing that this was not something Summer would go for considering he was dating her best friend he had heard how she was already unhappy about his work schedule now a club would only mean more work.
"Yeah" Seth said smiling
"Does Summer know?" Ryan asked
"Yeah she wasn't happy about it at first but she grew to accept it and will probably love it when I let her decorate the club. I mean she always says that if she wasn't acting she would be an interior decorator and I don't see why she can't be both" Seth said matter of factly
"Oh gotcha umm yeah that sounds great but can I call you later I have a meeting with a client that I am walking into" Ryan said as he got out of his car
"Yeah talk to you later bro" Seth said
"Bye" Ryan said while closing his phone and walking into the building.
Seth shut his phone and threw it in the passenger seat and turned up the radio as he made his way to practice.

Summer heard the front door open and then looked at the clock and was shocked to see that it was 4pm. She got up and went to the front door and smiled at Seth.
"Hey handsome what are you doing home so early?" She said as she gave him a quick kiss then followed him into the kitchen.
"Well beautiful I did my weight lifting before practice today so I didn't have to do it after"
"Why don't you do that everyday?" Summer asked as he leaned against the counter and taking a drink.
"Well usually because I stay in bed the extra hour instead of getting up" Seth said
"Oh well I like this better" Summer said while leaning her head on his chest.
"Even though I didn't wake you this morning?" Seth asked
"Its always better when you wake me up but I don't get to spend time with you in the morning" Summer said
"Then I might start going in early to get my weight training done in the morning"
Summer smiled at him and gave him a quick kiss "I don't feel like cooking so do you want to order Thai?"
"Sounds good to me" Seth said while getting the phone and dialing the number. Summer kissed his cheek as she returned to her seat at the table and continued reading the latest script that was sent to her. Seth placed there normal order then sat down next to Summer at the table.
"What is this one about?" Seth asked'
"It's about a girl who doesn't know her father for the first 19 years of her life and finally her mom tells her who her dad only because her dad has been diagnosed with cancer and only has a couple months to live."
"Sounds interesting" Seth said while nodding his head
"Yeah" Summer was watching his reaction to figure out whether she should take the role or not after a couple of moments she couldn't really tell so she decided her best strategy would be to be blunt.
"Do you think I should take it?" She asked
Seth thought about it for a moment "I'm not sure if it would be the next blockbuster but I think it is a good message that girls today can relate to in someway. It will teach them to forgive no matter how hard it may be" Seth said then looking at Summer. She looked at him a little confused and shocked.
"Since when are you Mr. Sensitive?" Summer asked teasingly
Seth smiled a little "Didn't I tell you I'm gay. I just married you for publicity"
Summer suddenly didn't find him so funny and punched him on the shoulder.
"Ow I was kidding" Seth said rubbing where she punched him
"Well our marriage is not something to joke about" she said getting her papers and getting up and walking away
Seth let out a frustrated sigh not understanding why she was so sensitive about this. He let her cool off for a couple of minutes before he got up to go find her. He first checked everywhere downstairs and when he still hadn't found her he made his way upstairs and he found her sitting in there bed holding a pillow to her chest just staring off into space.
"Took you long enough" She said bitterly
Seth didn't say anything he just walked across the room and sat on the bed next to you.
"What was that about?" he asked taking her hand in his own
Summer let out a frustrated sigh "It's bad enough I have the world saying that I married you for my career and making jokes about us and now your joining them"
Seth frowned a little as he let go of her hand and put his arm around her to pull her closer to him.
"I'm sorry, I never really thought about it like that"
Summer shifted so they were looking at each other. "I know, I guess I take it more to heart than I realized"
Seth kissed her slowly "Well you won't here no more from me"
Summer smiled at him and then moved so that she was straddling his lap "Good" she then leaned down and gave him a fast and lustful kiss that only heated up more the longer they kissed.
