A/N Yes, OK! I know it's another Songfic but it was just perfect! And I like writing Songfics. This song is 'The Weakness in Me – Joan Armatrading'.
Summer caressed his face and rolled on top of him. She groaned loudly and passionately kissed him.
I'm not the sort of person who falls
In and quickly out of love
But to you I gave my affection
Right from the start.
She lay next to him and gently stroked his cheek. He turned to face her and said, "Morning sweetheart."
Suddenly she became very worried, "What! It's morning! What's James gonna say? He'll kill me!"
He put an arm around her and hugged her against his naked body and whispered into her ear, "Don't worry sweetheart, just make up something about having to work over night."
"What, and lie to my husband? When I married him I promised to never lie to him!"
"You also promised to never cheat on him." Seth sat up and stared at her, "What are you going to do, say 'Oh, I'm sorry I wasn't there last night, I was just having sex with my high school sweetheart'?"
She hit him gently, "Of course not! I'd never do that!"
"So you have to lie,"
"I guess. But I should get home as quickly as possible. It's already 8:00am!"
"Ok, if you have to!"
"I'll be back tomorrow. But I'm having the day off today!"
"Oh,"
Summer got out of bed and Seth stared at her naked body as she picked up her clothes that were scattered around the room.
She quickly got changed and was just walking to the door when she collapsed onto the floor in tears.
I have a lover who loves me:
How could I break such a heart?
Yet still you gained my attention.
"Summer?" Seth said and rushed over to her, "What's wrong?"
"How can I do this?" She cried.
"What?"
"I'm in love with James, I love him so much, yet I'm cheating on him. I'm such a horrible person!"
"But you love me! And I love him and the kids as well. What happens if he finds out? He'll throw me out and take the kids away from me."
"He won't find out. Anyway, I have to leave soon so it won't have been anything important, will it? You can just carry on living your lives and forget about me."
"But I can't forget about you! I didn't forget about you for 12 years!"
Seth held Summer and gasped as she suddenly flopped over his arms. "Summer?" He whispered and shook her, but she didn't wake up. "Summer!" He cried louder.
Why do you come here
When you know I've got troubles enough?
Why do you call me
When you know I can't answer the phone?
Make me lie, when I don't want to
And make someone else some kind of an unknowin' fool
You make me stare, when I should not
Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me?
Seth was stood over her body when James came rushing in with Molly in his arms and Seth at his feet.
"Is Mummy alright, daddy?" small Seth (A/N I'm gonna call them big and small Seth to make things less confusing!) asked worriedly.
Big Seth answered, "She's fine,"
Small Seth seemed to recognize the voice and he looked and Big Seth and said, "Seth?"
James looked at the two Seth's and said to small Seth, "You know this man?"
"He's mummy's friend, she went out to dinner with him, remember?"
"I remember." He said and turned to big Seth, "So how come you were with my wife at this time in the morning? And how come she wasn't at home last night?" He asked accusingly.
Big Seth answered very calmly, "I'm staying at the hotel and your wife was working the night shift. This morning she came to help me because I called room service and she just fainted when she got to my room. I think it was because of the heat. My windows were closed and the air con wasn't working. I phoned the ambulance and brought her here."
James looked at him and sighed, "Oh, thank you very much."
"Don't worry." Big Seth looked at Molly and said, "Your baby's very beautiful."
"Thanks," James smiled at him. "So how's she doing?"
"She's doing quite well. She hasn't woken yet but it's only been about 15minutes."
As if on queue Summer stired and opened her eyes. The first person she saw was James holding Molly. She stroked his face. "Hello darling," James said and kissed her softly.
"Hey," Summer's voice was croaky. She put her arms out and James put Molly in them. Summer hugged and kissed Molly.
Small Seth ran over to her and she hugged and kissed him. Then she saw Big Seth who had been waiting in the far corner of the room for her family to speak to her.
"Seth?" she whispered.
Why do you come here
And pretend to be just passing by?
But I need to see you,
And I mean to hold you
Tightly.
"Yes mummy?" Small Seth said smiling.
"No, him," she said and lifted a white bony hand and pointed at Seth.
James came and stood by her, stroking her shoulder, "Oh yes," He said, "That's your friend isn't it? He told us that he fainted at the hotel while you were serving him. Then he phone the ambulance and they picked you up and brought you here."
Summer nodded, "Oh, yes. Thanks Seth."
Seth walked forwards and held her fragile hand, "That's fine, I did all I could to help."
"Well you definitely did the right thing," A voice came from behind. It was the Doctor. "Summer's going to be fine, and depending on how she is she'll probably be able to leave tomorrow morning."
James smiled, "Great! Can I stay the night?"
"Yes, we'll bring a bed in for you."
"Thanks, I'll get Rachel to look after the kids."
"I can drive your kids back to your house if you want to." Big Seth proposed.
"You?" James asked uncertainly.
"Trust him," Summer croaked.
"Yes dear," he whispered. He turned to big Seth and said, "Thanks, I'll call Rachel on my mobile so do mind staying with until she get there."
"Sure," Big Seth replied.
"I'll be back soon," James said to Summer.
Feeling guilty, worried,
Waking from tormented sleep
This old love has me bound
But this new love cuts deep.
He followed Seth out and got Molly's car chair from his car. They drove off and James went back to see Summer.
When they got the house Seth took the kids out of the car and took the key James gave him. He brought them in and hung the key on the hook by the door. Small Seth rushed and went straight into a room. Big Seth followed carrying Molly. It was the playroom. There were toys scattered all over the floor. He put Molly down next to small Seth.
"Can you look after Molly?" Big Seth asked small Seth.
"Sure," Small Seth replied and started to whisper to her.
Big Seth walked out the room and looked around the house. It was very big and modern. Along one shelf were pictures of James and Summer's wedding. It made him feel sick. There were also pictures of the kids when they were babies.
Suddenly, the doorbell rung. Seth opened it and standing in the doorway was a young beautiful girl, with long blonde hair.
"Hi, I'm Rachel, the nanny," She said and held out her hand to Seth.
He took it and smiled, "I'm Seth," he said, "I brought the kids back from the hospital."
"Nice to meet you."
Seth stepped aside to let Rachel in.
"Well, I should probably go now," He said.
"Sure," Rachel agreed and smiled showing perfect white teeth.
If I choose now, I'll lose out
One of you has to fall
But I need you, and you.
Summer opened her eyes. The sun shone brightly and blinded her.
She turned and saw James. "Morning Sweetheart," he said smiling.
Summer had a sudden flashback of her and Seth lying naked next to each other. She shuddered. How could she do it to James, who love her so much. "What's wrong darling?" James asked.
Summer forced a smile. "Nothing, I love you so much."
"Same," James said and took her hands in his. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine," Summer said and James smiled.
"Great!" The doctor said if you feeling good that you could leave this morning.
"Will you drive me home?" Summer asked.
"Sure."
Why do you come here
When you know I've got troubles enough?
Why do you call me
When you know I can't answer the phone?
When Summer got home she had greeted the kids and then shut herself in the bedroom.
In her hands were two pictures. One was of her and James on their honeymoon. The other was of her and Seth as teenagers, together on the beach. They were so happy! She looked much happier than she did in the other picture. It was probably just because she was younger, oblivious to the rest of the world.
She had been looking at these two pictures fro over half and hour. No one had disturbed her; they all thought she was resting. She had to choose, but it was so hard.
She had known Seth for so long, and loved him for so long, but she was married to James and they had 2 children. She couldn't break up with him. Think about how it would affect the children, and she loved him so much. So she was back to square one.
Make me lie, when I don't want to
And make someone else soem kind of an unknowin' fool
You make me stare, when I should not
Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me?
Why do you come here
And pretend to be just passing by?
But I need to see you,
And I mean to hold you
Tightly.
A/N I have a brilliant Idea for the next chapter! This was a very long chapter (Well for me anyway)! And as always, please R&R!
