Yeah, so this chapter seems a little rushed basically because it is, lol. I have my other chapters written that have the big important events and I just really want to get to that, but i'm trying not to rush! So here it is, and i know i don't stay in one scene for very long...
Chapter 10
Summer stood in her new apartment with a few articles of furnitre around the room. The rest of her furniture was being sent from Minnesota here, and it hadn't arrived yet. She was just about to start putting her clothes up in the closet when he cell phone started ringing.
"Summer? Hi, It's Lisa. Do you think you could come in for a few hours? We're having a hard time with a new client." Summer's new boss Lisa said.
"Of course, Lisa. Just give me a few minutes to get out the door." Summer said, putting the clothes back on her bed.
"Thank you Summer, Bye."
"Bye" Summer hung up the phone and placed it back down in her purse. She walked out of the bedroom, and into the living room. Right as she was about to leave, a knock was on her door. She opened it and Seth was standing there.
"Hey," She smiled at him. "I just got a call from Lisa, she needs me to come down. She's having a hard time with a new client. Do you think you could stay here and wait for the movers? They should be here in like-" She looked at her watch. "10 minutes. I won't be long."
Before Seth could say anything, Summer closed the door and was racing down the stairs.
"Hey, Lisa." Summer said coming into the building with her purse draped around her shoulder. "What's the problem?"
"New client," She whispered. "She's freaking out, we can't calm her down."
"Alright, I'll see if I can do anything." Summer opened the door to her office and saw a small, fragile woman sitting in the chair.
"Hi," Summer said cautiously.
"Hi," The woman said.
"My names Summer." She stuck her hand out and the woman shook it.
"Kelly," She said.
"It's really great to meet you." Summer sat down in her chair and smiled at the woman across from her. "So, can I help you, what seems to be the problem?"
Seth watched Summer leave the apartment and Seth took out his cell phone to call his cousion, and best friend Isacc.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Isacc. It's Seth. Can you get over to Summer's pronto? She's gone, we're gonna have to do it now."
"Now?" He questioned, looking around the store. "I dunno, the store's pretty packed."
"Oh, come on. It'll be a couple hours at the most. Please! I don't know how long she's going to be at the office."
Isacc hesitated before rolling his eyes, and giving in. "Fine,"
"Hey," Seth said as he opened the door for Isacc. "Ok, the movers just dropped off all the furniture, let's get it all settled."
"Alright, so remind me again why we're doing this?" Isacc asked, moving a chair.
"Because, I wanted to do something nice for Summer."
"Take her out to dinner." Isacc said automatically. "Do what normal people do when they want to do 'something special'."
Seth ignored his comment and they continued rearanging the room.
Summer put her keys in the apartment door and opened it. When she walked in, her heart skipped a beat, and she gasped in surprise.
"Oh...my...god," She said, looking around in amazement. "Cohen?"
"Hi," He said coming out of the bedroom.
"This...This is..amazing." She uttered
"I thought you'd like it." He said. "I had some help."
Isacc came around the corner and Summer gave him a big smile.
"Thank you so much Isacc." She walked over to him and gave him a hug. "You too Seth. Thank you guys so much for this. It means a lot." She hugged Seth took and felt the tears sliding down her face.
"This is so incredibly sweet."
"Yeah, well, what can I say?"
"Hey!" Summer pulled away from the hug to look at him and Isacc. "You two want to come with Lisa and I tonight to our annual Christmas Party?"
"Sure," Isacc said automatically looking through a magazine not paying much attention.
"Psh," Seth scoffed. "You know I can't pass up anything that has to do with Christmukkah."
"Great!" Summer said pushing them out the door. "Why don't you two be here by, say 8ish?"
They both noddedtheir head and Summer clapped her hands together.
"Great, so we'll see you then"
Summer and Lisa are at Summer's apartment getting ready, when Summer realizes she doesn't fit into her dress anymore.
"What the hell!" Summer said trying to get into her dress. "I bought this dress like 3 weeks ago, how does it not fit?"
"I don't know..." Lisa said putting her makeup on. "Remind me again why I have to go with Isacc?"
"Because, I really wanted to go with Cohen. And I knew he wouldn't want to go alone with me, so...that's where you come in."
"Right..." Lisa said.
"Besides, Isacc is great. He's nice, and sweet..." Summer gave up with her dress and picked another one out. "God, I bought this dress to wear next year and it fits me now, god..."
"Well hurry up..." Lisa walked out of the bathroom to put her shoes on. "They should be here any minute..."
"Yeah, Okay." Summer walked into the bathroom to finish getting ready.
"Why are we going to this thing?" Isacc asked, driving to Summer's apartment.
"Um..this is basically your problem. She invited us, and i'm sorry who was the one to say sure right away?"
"I wasn't listening. I trusted you too..."
"Whatever. It'll be fun..I'm actually kinda looking forward to it."
Isacc raised his eyebrow at Seth and Seth shrugged.
"What? I want to spend time with Summer. I want to ask her out, but I mean...it's been a little awkard since we had s- never mind."
"Had what?" Isacc asked, hitting him on the arm. "Come on, tell me!"
"We had sex..." He said a little quieter.
"What! No way!" Isacc patted him on the bad. "Atta boy..."
"You sounded like my dad there, never do that again." Seth said and Isacc rolled his eyes at him. "But yeah...it was kinda an accident."
"What do you mean?" Isacc asked parking the car outside Summer's apartment.
"Well we were watching a movie and just got caught up in the moment."
"Ohh, movies can do that to you."
Seth gave him a look at Isacc shrugged. "What?"
Seth knocked on the door and Summer asnwered it. She looked beautiful, and Seth found himself having trouble looking for words.
"You-You, look great..." He finally got out.
"Thanks. You clean up pretty nice too." Summer replied giving him a hug.
"Hi Lisa." Isacc said, giving Lisa a hug. "You look amazing."
"Thanks Isacc."
"So, let's get going"
At the Christmas party Summer was talking to Lisa while Isacc and Seth were talking to a random guy.
"So then, I was like..Dad why are you in my bikini?"
Seth and Isacc looked at eachother before nodding their heads awkwardly.
"Jim, go away." Summer said, coming over and saving them from him. "Sorry," She smiled.
"It's alright, it was an interesting story." Isacc said, walking away with Lisa.
"You're not having a good time..." Summer frowned.
"No, no. I'm having a great time. I love Christmas parties, you know that." Seth said, trying to make her feel comfortable.
"Thanks,"
Just then Lisa came running over again grabbing Summer.
"Summer, you have to come listen to Bob's Rose Bowl story."
"I've heard it before. At the Halloween party..."
"Yes, but if you want to get ahead in this business you have got to listen to it many times." Lisa said grabbing her arm again. "Come on, his ass is right under the misteltoe."
Summer gave Seth a sympathetic smile before walking away.
Seth walked around aimlessly listening to a few peoples stories before Summer came back in.
"Hey,"
"Hi," Seth said smiling.
"You're bored."
"No, no. I'm fine."
"Well I'm bored, so do you want to go somewhere else?"
"Sure, let's go get a bite to eat."
"Ok, but I have to go up to my office real quick. My dry cleaning's up there..." Summer said and they went up to her office. They walked inside and she picked up her dry cleaning. As they were about to leave the room, Seth stopped her.
"Look at this city." He said looking out the window. "It's so beautiful. I mean, I know I put it down all the time because it's Newpsie central, but at night, it's not so bad. It's beautiful and peaceful, and has a certain glow."
Seth turned around and Summer pulled him in for a kiss. The kiss was a sweet one, and lasted only a few seconds.When Seth pulled away he looked at her he smiled.
"Did you just kiss me?" He asked.
"No," She said.
"I didn't think so..."
So simple and boring and I hope you didn't fall asleep!
