-1Seth walked downstairs to see Jimmy Cooper and his dad sipping coffee talking business while Kirsten and Haley watched from the side. He quickly by passed the kitchen to the pool house without knocking like normal he walked in.

"Hey man…Ohh sorry didn't mean to" Seth said while covering his eyes considering Ryan was putting on his shirt.

"Hey now you are walking in on me changing?" Ryan asked while raising his eyebrow

"Dude I'm just surprised it didn't happen sooner plus don't try ruining things for me I mean think about it me and Summer are back together and she agreed to be my date tonight for the opening"

"Yeah that is because nobody from school will be there" Ryan said while walking past Seth towards the house. Seth turned and followed.

"So a date is a date Ryan"

Sandy and Jimmy were not gone leaving just the two boys Kirsten and Haley.

"Who has a date?" Haley asked curiously

"Seth" Kirsten piped in before Seth could answer smiling at him

"In fact I do but not just a date but a date with Summer" he said to his aunt

She smiled at him "You mean the girl you have been stalking since you were 10 congrats"

Seth just rolled his eyes at her choosing not to comment back.

"So why was Jimmy here so early?" Seth asked changing the subject

"They can't get a liquor license for the restaurant but don't worry your father is handling it"

Seth and Ryan shook there heads as the phone rang. Seth reached over and answered the phone considering he was the closest

"Hey"

"Hey Cohen what are you doing?"

"While nothing my princess"

Summer smiled at him "Good I need you over at Coops ASAP"

"Uhh okay do I dare ask why?" Seth replied

"Nope just get your scrawny ass here or you will pay" Summer said before hanging up the phone

Seth hung up the phone.

"Who was that?" his mom asked him

"Summer she needs me to meet her" he said as he grabbed the keys to the Range Rover

"Don't be late for the opening" Kirsten said as he walked out of the room

------------

"So why are were here especially considering Marissa is going to be at my house all day with Ryan"

"That's just it" Summer said leading him upstairs

Seth walked in the room "Wow this is very homey"

Summer rolled her eyes "That's why we are here assface we need to redecorate Coops room give her that fung stuff that people are always talking about so she wont be so depressed about Luke and her mom getting it on"

"You think it will help?" Seth asked

"Wont hurt to try"

"Okay so what do we have to do?"

"Go to the hardware store" Summer said turning around to leave

"The hardware store" Seth said in a disappointed tone

"Just come on Cohen I don't feel like dealing with your wining right now"

Seth just followed but Summer quickly turned around and gave him a quick kiss and smiled at him then turning back around to lead the way.

------------------------------

After there trip to the hardware store Seth and Summer spent the remainder of there day fixing up Marissa's room. Well mainly Summer, Seth just painted while she put everything together and organized it. The got done just in time for both of them to get home and get ready for the party. Seth went home took a shower got dressed in his suite and actually decided to wear his dress shoes hoping to impress Summer.

Summer went home took a shower once she was out of the shower she blow dried her head and put on her make up she then went to her closet to choose her outfit for the night. As she stood there she started to get nervous considering she wanted to impress Seth by looking sexy but just enough so she didn't look slutty as well. She finally decided on a hot pink strapless dress that was just above the knees. She knew it was the perfect combination. She smiled as she pulled it down and walked into her room and got dressed. Just as she checked herself in the mirror on last time she heard talking downstairs guessing that it was her dad and Seth she quickly grabbed her matching purse and double checked to make sure everything was in there that she needed and was pratically running downstairs but once she got the stairs in view she slowed down and acted as normal as possible. She was surprised to see her father smiling and could help but smiled when she noticed the white lilys in Seth's hands.

"Theses are for you" Seth said handing the flowers to her

"Thanks Cohen they are beautiful" Summer said smiling

Her father reached out "I will make sure they get in a vase"

"Thanks daddy" Summer said while handing him the flowers

They stood there in a somewhat awkard silence

"Well we should be off" Summer said to her father and quickly hugged him as Seth lead the way out to the car. He opend the door for her and once she was inside he slow shut the door and made his way around the car into the driver seat.

"So what did you say to my father that made him smile?" Summer asked bluntly

Seth just smiled "Well its not more what I said then what I gave him. See I asked my dad what he knew about your dad that could get me on his good side and he told me that your dad liked golf so my gramps has the hook ups and got me a couple tickets to some golf event and I gave them to your dad"

Summer smiled impressed by his actions and flattered that he took so much effort to get her dad approval knowing how much it meant to her "Impressive Cohen" She then leaned over and kissed his cheek. "Lets just hope you didn't use all your charm on my dad tonight" she said playfully

Seth just smiled "You have no idea"

---------------

Once they were at the party Ryrissa were too busy occupied with themselves to notice Seth and Summer walk in hand in hand. They walked over to there friends but Summer quickly stopped when she notice Holly, Brad and a couple of her other so called friends standing in a circle. They said they weren't coming she thought to herself and dropped Seth's hand unconsciously. He looked over at her confused but when he notcied the group of teens he was more hurt then confused. He leaned over and whispered in her ear "Go I will go hang out with Ryan" Seth said walking away before Summer could reply. She frowned as she watched him walk away but couldn't seem to follow him as much as she wanted to.

Seth sat down next to Ryan with his back to Summer so he didn't have to watch those jerk flirt with her and didn't say anything.

---------------

Summer kept trying to get Seth to look at her so she could know just exactly how he was feeling but he had his back to her so she couldn't tell if he was hurt or mad or even worst both. She just kept staring at them as one of the guys was telling her some random story she didn't want to hear about him beating some kid up. Summer perked up a little though when Seth stood up hoping that she would finally be able to know just exactly what he was feeling but instead he was walking towards the door and she began to panic. She knew that if he walked out that she would lose her shot and considering all he had done for her today alone she wasn't quite ready to give up that easy. So she just put her hand in front of the jocks face.

"Yeah Whateves I have something I have to do" she said before walking away

She was fighting through the crowd and kept watching the back of Seth's head get closer to the door. Once she say the door she open she became violent and just yelled "Move bitch" which caught the rooms attetion including Seths. Summer smiled apologetically "I mean excuse me" the lady just gave Summer a dirty look as Summer walked past her but at this point Summer didn't care. Everyone was still watching her wanting to know what was so important to her. She finished making her way through the crowd and smiled at Seth she could tell was just simply hurt by tonight. She looked to her left and right while she contied to walk towards Seth finally noticing everyone still watching her. Once she got to Seth she grabbed his jacket and pulled him down to her level and kissed him as deeply as she could. Some people turned away uninterested, some people smiled at them and some were just confused. Once Summer pulled away she couldn't help but laugh at the smile on Seth's face.

"Wow" he whispered

She just shook her head in agreement wrapping her arms around him hugging him "I'm sorry about tonight"

Seth hugged her back kissing the top of her head "After that kiss you are forgiven"

Summer slapped him playfully and by now most people had stopped paying attention. The only people who were watching was Seth's parents and the group of teens Summer had been spending most of her time with until now. Summer grabbed Seth's hand and led him back to the seat he was originally occupying and sat him down then sat on his lap.

--------------

After they got over the shock of what they just saw they wanted answers and they wanted them fast so Brad, Holly and there crew made there way over to Summer.

"Summer what the hell are you doing?" Holly asked shocked

"Yeah are you dating this emo geek?" Brad asked disgusted at the thought

Summer stood up feeling her blood begin to boil. "First of all what the fuck does it matter to you and secondly yes I am" she said while her eyes went from Holly to Brad then back again

They both stood there for a moment "Ew Sum are you serious you can do so much better?" Holly said while looking at Seth with disgust

Summer laughed an evil laugh that scared everyone including Seth. "Yeah right please these assholes don't know how to do shit and you know it. You have told me how more then half of them are a bad fuck and even worse kissers"

Holly's jaw dropped while Brad and the rest of the guys got not only embarrassed but mad.

"You agreed" Holly said trying to change blame

"Your right none of them can kiss but as far as a bad fuck I wouldn't know because none have even got close" Summer said as the guys got even more mad considering many of them had declared to the others they had gone all the way with her on numerous accounts.

By this time Seth had an amused smirk on his face along with Marissa and Ryan who were now paying attention.

Holly just rolled her eyes and walked away followed by the guys who's egos were seriously bruised and would never speak of this again. Seth however would never forget this day and was sure that there was never another time that he loved and adored Summer more then right at this moment.

"Wow that was…wow" was all Seth could say

Summer just smiled at him

"Good job Summer you finally shut him up" Marissa said jokingly

"I know its scary" Ryan agreed

Seth just ignored them as he stood up "That was incredible and you know they are going to tell the whole school tomorrow right?"

"Yeah" Summer said trying to hide her nervousness

Seth smiled at her "Don't worry I will be there with you the entire time"

She smiled surprising to herself that actually made it better just knowing that he was going to be there for her she didn't care anymore. "Good" she said as she hugged him

He smiled at her and hugged her.

"Seth that arrangement we made earlier is ready whenever you are" Caleb said to Seth then walked away not saying another word

Seth pulled away from Summer and looked at Ryan and Marissa "We will be back do not leave without us" Marissa and Ryan nodded in agreement and Seth held out his arm for Summer which she took after eyeing him skeptically for a moment. Seth led them outside and then wrapped his jacket around Summers shoulders as he lead her to the docks.

----------

Finally they came to a spot. Summer recognized this as the boat that she had kissed Seth for the second time on and came to terms with the fact that she liked Seth Cohen.

"What are we doing here Cohen?"

"Well I figured I could just charm your father tonight so I decided that we could go out and watch the sunset" he said while getting on the boat and turning around to help her.

She smiled at him "Cheesy much Cohen?"

He just smiled at her "You love it and you know it"

She just rolled her eyes but still had a smiled on her face. He then untied the boat and went to guide the boat out to sea. The got about 20 miles off shore when Seth finally stopped and went and sat next to Summer on the front of the boat. He grabbed the blanket it and covered her legs with it.

"Thanks" she said softly

He shook his head and put his arm around her and she rest her head on his shoulder.

"God this is beautiful" Summer said staring out at the ocean and the sunset.

Seth looked down at Summer "Yeah it is" he replied

Summer looked at him and for the first time realized he was talking about her and she blushed a little.

Seth slowly leaned down and connected his lips with Summers and she quickly deepened the kiss. After what seemed like only a second both of them were pulling away for air a smile on there face.

Summer turned taking the scene again "Way to go Cohen we missed the sunset" She said jokingly

Seth just shrugged his shoulders "There is always one tomorrow too" He then got up and then pulled Summer up as well. He then led the boat back to its place at the dock and quickly put everything back in place.

"Now lets show Marissa the fruit of our labor" Seth said as they began walking towards the party

Summer laughed "Our labor"

"Okay your labor and my art work" he said while smiling at her

"Much better" she said smiling back

----------------

Once they got back to Jimmy and Marissa's apartment Summer had Marissa's eyes covered and was leading her towards her bedroom. Once she was in the door Summer removed her hands and instantly heard a gasp.

"How…when…?" Marissa asked while looking around

She then point to the wall "That is amazing" Seth smiled proudly

"I painted" he said

Summer rolled her eyes "Yeah and I put everything together, organized it and did pretty much everything else" she stated as she fell back on the bed pulling Seth with her.

Marissa had tears of joy in her eyes "This in incredible thank you both"

They both smiled at her and Seth pulled Summer closer to him.

"You didn't have any plastic horses but you did have this" Summer said pulling out the teddy bear

"Share bear" Marissa said excitedly as she sat next to her best friend taking the bear from her.

"He will watch over you with his care bear stare" Seth said without thinking

Ryan raised his eyebrow "How do you know about the care bear stare?"

Marissa and Summer both choked out a laugh "I painted that" Seth said trying desperately to change the subject

Summer smiled at how cute he was "Yes you did" she said proudly and kissed him

Marissa then began teasing Ryan with the bear.

Summer looked over at them and smiled she was glad everything was just how it was supposed to be.
