"Thanks so much for watching Madison yesterday" Summer said as she took a sip of wine, enjoying the atmosphere of the restaurant Seth had brought her to.

"No problem" he answered smiling. "She's a very special little girl."

"Yes she is" Summer agreed smiling back.

"You're doing a really good job with her."

"Thanks" Summer answered. "Stew and Lila have really helped me."

"So they still hate me?" Seth asked.

"No, they don't hate you. They just have always had this dream that Chris was going to come back and the five of us would be one big, happy family."

"Can't they see what a jerk Chris is?"

"Chris had it rough growing up too. That's kind of what brought us together. His mother, Lila and Stew's daughter, was into drugs. Stew and Lila ended up raising Chris. So they've kind of love him as if he was their own."

"But they love you too; they should want what's best for you."

"They'll come around" Summer answered. "In time they'll see how wonderful you are."

"You think I'm wonderful?" he asked flirtatiously.

"Don't get too full of yourself" Summer replied smiling. "Can I ask you a favor?" she added after a pause.

"Of course."

"I mean, you already helped me out so much, watching Madison yesterday…"

"Summer, name it and I'll do it" he said smiling.

"I just might take you up on that" she laughed. "Listen, I know you aren't like a fix-it kind of guy, but I'm having an issue with my sink. Do you um, think you could look at it after our date tonight?"

"Why Summer Roberts" he answered in a teasing tone. "Are you trying to get me into your house so you can have your way with me?"

Summer looked at him wide eyed and her cheeks turned bright red.

"Oh my God" he said nervously. "That was what you were trying to do..."

"Shut up Cohen" she replied looking down embarrassed.

"Oh my God! Hey Summer, you know you don't need to do that right? You could've just said…"

"Look, I'm sorry. It's just- I haven't done this in seven years. I'm not really sure how to ask a guy if he wants to… you know."

"Say it" Seth said smiling.

"Say what?"

"Say what the 'you know' is."

"Seth, come on."

"Say it."

"Fine! Seth, do you want to have sex with me?"

"Um let me think about that? Yes! I'll get the check right now-" he answered grinning widely.

"Hey-" Summer responded. "I wanted dessert."

"We can pick something up on the way" he whispered into her neck as he kissed it.

"Seth stop it" she said giggling as she nudged him away. "Let's wait until we get back to my place…"

"Sorry, I'm going to go pay the bill" he said gaining his composure. "I will be right back" he added as he got up and blatantly checked her out with a smile.

"Don't keep me waiting" Summer replied biting her bottom lip.

"You're killing me, Sum" he replied as he walked towards the front of the restaurant.

"Hey" she smiled as they finally made it into her house.

"Hey" he said back as he pulled her into a kiss.

As the kiss grew increasingly urgent Seth began to pull down Summer's sweater.

"You're so beautiful" he whispered into her ear.

Summer looked back at him nervously and Seth stopped. "Hey" he said gently. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing" she replied "I guess I'm just nervous."

"Why? Come on Sum, it's just me. You don't have anything to be nervous about."

"It's just it's been so long since I've done this. And I've only been with one other guy…"

"Hey, it's not like you're taking a test and you're going to get graded. I love you, I want to be with you, and this is going to be awesome…"

"What?" Summer asked shocked.

"What?" Seth replied unaware of what she was talking about.

"You- you just said you love me…"

"Oh" he replied turning pale. "I guess I did."

"Why did you say that?"

"Because it's true" he admitted grinning sheepishly.

"You love me?"

"Yeah, yeah I do. I love you Summer Roberts."

"Wow" she replied. "Um, me too…"

"Really?"

"Yeah"

"Because you don't have to say that just because.."

"Cohen, shut up" Summer replied as she crashed his lips onto his and guided him to her bedroom.

They continued to kiss and shed clothing, until both were scantily clad and lying on Summer's bed.

"Damn!" she said whiningly as her phone began to ring.

"Ignore it" Seth replied desperately.

"I can't" she said. "I'm sorry, it could be about Madison. I will be back as soon as I can" she added darting to answer the phone.

"Hey Sum?" he called out.

"Yeah?" she replied turning around.

"Don't keep me waiting" he said in a purposely high pitched voice imitating the way she had bitten her lip earlier.

"You are such a jerk" she laughed as she answered the phone.

"I have to go" Summer said as she quickly gathered her clothes off the floor.

"What's wrong?" Seth asked urgently. "Is it Madison, is she okay?"

"It's Stew-" Summer explained. "He had a heart attack."

"Oh my God."

"He's at the hospital-"

"I'll take you there-"

"No" Summer replied. "I mean, I want to see him. But I have to stop at Stew and Lila's place first. Lila needs to go see Stew, but she didn't leave on the ambulance with him because she didn't want to leave Madison alone."

"Hey- I'll bring you over there and you can go with Lila. I'll stay at their place and watch Maddie."

"Thank you" Summer said kissing him. "Thank you so much."

"No problem" he said as he quickly started to get dressed.

"Hey Sum?" Seth said softly

"Yeah?" she replied teary eyed.

"It's going to be okay."

"Thanks" she sniffled. "I needed to hear that."
