DISCLAIMER: if I owned it we wouldn't all be in pain because its been cancelled.
Hello people! I know we are all sad but lets try to be realistic in order to stop the depression, even thought I hoped for at least 5 seasons, there's really nothing we can do except take a deep breath and move on, it wasn't going to be on forever, so lets just be thankful it existed.
Now last time I posted the site was working good, but then it happened what so periodically happens, that's right no review alerts, no story alerts, no nothing, still I did answer back each and every review I got, which I am truly thanked for, I reached over 100 reviews!
That makes me happy! Thank you very much every single person who reads and reviews, let's see what you think of this one…(hoping that you tell me what you think)
The next day, or that day a few hours later actually, summer was sitting at her couch Indian style with her laptop on her lap and a bunch of papers in the centre table, with the TV on, she wasn't even paying attention but now and then she needed some distraction and she didn't liked everything all quiet, since Marissa was out doing something work related and she would be late, it was pretty weird on the fashion world, going out and parting actually counted as business meeting or working, anyway at least she had a blast doing what she loved, loving what she does.
It was around 4 pm or something and summer was almost done, after Seth left around 2 am she wasn't really that sleepy anymore so she decided to start with her work, then she fell sleep at 4 and woke up at 9, since then she hadn't stopped working and was about to finish, surprisingly she wasn't that tired, I guess her body had gotten used to short periods of sleep and stress, anyhow she concentrated on finishing, after she was done she was going through her archives.
Sometimes when she had time she would do some cleaning, it was easy for her to have old old stuff that weren't important anymore, and in her search she came to Seth's pictures from way back when he was 16.
She smiled like an idiot the minute she found them, he looked so cute, and so young, still though he hadn't changed much, his image was just matured and he looked less dorky but still he was really cute, he wasn't really the strong type of guy but that worked for summer, she had always had a thing for slim guys as long as they were toned not scrawny, but that was really the least important thing, of course the fact that he was good looking helped a lot but the attraction she felt towards him was way beyond that.
there was something about that boy back then that made her fall in love with an illusion and there's something about this man right now that wont let her stop smiling, she didn't really wanted to think, because sometimes thinking was bad, so she jumped in the shower with a plan in mind before thinking made her decide against it.
Seth woke up around 12 at noon the next day, pretty late I know but he had finally fallen asleep around 5 am, his mind was just working way to fast to sleep, he knew he shouldn't really think that much but there was this thing about him that sometimes after he just met someone, his mind would start working and sometimes picturing them later down the road in his life.
and how could he not do that with her!, it meant way too much to find her again, after so much time, he had told her back when the first "met" that one day the would meet, as in really meet and they did, even though back them his hopes were the ones speaking.
but for some reason(lets believe in fate right know because it sounds beautiful) they were reunited again, well actually you cant be reunited when you weren't united once, but anyways, she was in his life, and not only as in his myspace friends list, and the most beautiful thing of all was that even before he knew she was the girl from myspace...the idea he had been in love with for so many years and wouldn't let any other person be enough…before he knew that, he already liked her, he already felt a very strong attraction towards her, and it wasn't physical, well at least not only, because even though she was really and I mean really beautiful, he beauty wasn't at all physical, that was just a tiny very good part, because he saw in her much more than that, and that was the weirdest thing of all, he felt like he knew her, like truly knew her, when he had barely seen her.
He came out of his room and noticed Ryan wasn't there, he then found a note attached to his bedroom door, he took the post it and it read "come up when you wake up"
He didn't even bother to change, he only used to sleep in some comfy pj pants, so he just put on a t-shirt on and he made it to his parent's penthouse.
When he arrived they were just about to have lunch, so he went straight to the food, obviously Ryan had informed the parents about him being at Summer's the day before, because even though his dad was trying to hide it, Seth knew that look and his mom didn't even try to hide her happiness.
"Hey son, we heard you had a long night" sandy said trying to be casual but failing miserably, Seth jus glanced at Ryan and said
"Yeah"
"Was it really that much work for you to arrive home at 2 am?" Kirsten asked
Seth knew they knew all Ryan knew
"Well not we….., ah you know what lets not do this, you know I was at her house, Ryan told you" he said and took a seat in the kitchen counter, they all followed and sat down as well, Seth began to eat bussing his mouth so he couldn't answer the bunch of questions he knew were coming.
Surprisingly they ate in silence, they remained sited though, and Seth could see his mother struggling not to speak, she even asked Ryan about his work.
"Well it's…." He started but couldn't even finish when Kirsten lost it
"Ok I know its none of our business but please Seth, it the first time in so long" Kirsten whined
"Ok….yeah" Ryan said to no one
"Look mom, you make such a big deal out of this, it's not like I love her, gees"
"But you could?" she insisted
"Well…I…ye….I….may…" he couldn't seem to say anything so sandy interrupted
"Honey, he just likes the girl" Kirsten signed
"Oh I can't wait to meet her; there must be something about her if Seth likes her"
"Well she's really nice, and beautiful, truly beautiful, and I think she is funny, I don't really know but she gives me that impression and most of all she seems honest"
"Oh I definitely have to meet her" Kirsten squealed
"You know I'm standing right here"
"Oh kid, you can't blame us, we just want you to be happy" sandy said
"I am happy" Seth defended
"Ok, we believe you; still we are really happy you like summer" sandy said defeated
"And I still have to meet her" Kirsten said and began to stand up
Ryan just sat there with a smile on his face enjoying the scene, Seth glanced at him and them at his mom, god for some weird reason she was truly happy, you could tell, and as much as he would pretend he didn't wanted to talk about it, he kind of wanted but he was afraid it would scare them, since he had only known her for a few days to their eyes.
"Oh what the hell" as soon as he spoke everyone froze and sat back again, they knew he would speak now.
"Remember once I told you about this girl I met at some online page called myspace?"
"Oh I do" Ryan said happily, "you wouldn't shut up about it"
"oh yeah I think I remember you telling me on the phone, "mom, I'm in love" and then explained to me you didn't really knew her but you did at the same time, I thought it was weird" Kirsten said
Sandy still looked confused
"Remember honey I told you about it, when I talked you about coming back to New York"
"Oh right, because you claimed the kids were going crazy because they were lonely"
Sandy laughed
"You even mentioned something about Seth seeing a therapist or something"
"Hey" Seth exclaimed
"Sorry, I was away, and I was concerned, you were in love with a computer what did you expect me to think" Kirsten said and couldn't help laughing
"I was not in love with the computer, I wasn't really in love but I did felt a great connection with this girl"
"Well anyway, what's got this to do with summer?"
"you really don't see where I'm going?" Seth eyed the three of them and it took two seconds for Kirsten to shoot her eyes open and a second later Ryan did.
"Oh my god, really" Kirsten said intrigued
"Seriously man" Ryan asked shocked while Seth just smiled and nodded
"What's going on, we where talking about summer, what does you being in love with a machine has to do with summer?" sandy was confused
"Summer is the computer" Kirsten told her husband, he had always been the slow one
"She's not a computer, she was the girl behind the computer years ago" Seth clarified, he then stood up and walked out of the kitchen and to the living room but not with out speaking on his way out
"So now you know, and I do really really like her, but please leave it alone"
"Sum? Sum are you home?" Marissa asked as she got in the apartment they both shared
"Over here" Marissa herd her yell from her bedroom, she went there after that, summer was just coming out of the bathroom, wearing a towel around her body and drying her hair with another towel.
"Hey, I just came to pick up my portfolio, I'm going out with this people and they wanna see it, I've got a good feeling about this", she said and walked out to her bedroom, she came back a few seconds later.
"Well that's great coop, good luck" summer said as she walked to her closet
"You're going out?" Marissa asked confused, summer usually stayed in on Sundays, or they would sometimes both go take a walk or something on the afternoon, but it was weird of her to go out alone and at, she glanced at the clock….
"Where are you going at 6 pm?"
"Oh I just thought I'll stop by the Cohen's, see I told I would call him during the week, you know to pay him and everything but…. Summer paused to put on a t-shirt… I think I won't have time, so I might as well do it now"
"Oh so you're done?" Marissa took a seat at Summer's bed
"Yes, we worked on it all Saturday, and then Mr. Cohen had to leave like at seven, and we were going to finish today but Seth knew the sooner it was done the better so he offered to stay and help me finish, there wasn't much left" summer kept passing across the room, getting ready, Marissa just listened and knew there was something going on.
Right away you could tell from Summer's corporal language, but she pretended not to notice and played dumb.
"So, how late did you go to bed?"
"Uh actually around 4 am" summer said shyly
"What!, how much work was it?"
"no, see we stayed at the office until like 9:30 or something, then we where going to order in but I figured it would be more comfortable here, so we came here and watched a movie as well, then he left and I couldn't sleep so stayed up until 4" by this point summer was half done and almost ready to go.
"But I thought you didn't like him" Marissa said acting confused; she was expecting summer to say she didn't but she remained quiet and then just shrugged.
"What else happened yesterday?" Marissa said intrigued
"What do you mean what happened" summer said nonchalantly
"Two days ago you were all, "I don't like him, he's my lawyer, I don't have time for this" all that denial crap and now you just shrugged, spill it girl" Marissa pattered the spot in front of her on the bed said and brought her legs up and sat Indian style.
"Ok" summer came and sat down at the bed in front of Marissa " do you remember a few years ago, when we where 16, remember I told you about this guy I had "met" at myspace?"
Marissa seemed confused but answered anyway "uh yeah, I remember you had your panties all twisted by him"
Summer laughed, and Marissa spoke
"yeah yeah that was funny, a little pathetic but cute, anyway I thought we were talking about this Seth guy?"
"we are" summer shortly answered and stood up making her way out of her room, she counted 10 seconds before she heard Marissa yell "so that's why he looked familiar" and come out of the room
"Really?" she asked incredulously, summer nodded with a big smile on her face
"Wow, I actually remember you telling me that if you ever fell in love it would be with him" Marissa remembered "oh and then when he just disappeared you got so down for like a month"
"Yeah, well Seth Cohen is the cause of that" summer said, still smiling, god it seemed like she couldn't stop
Silence settled for a few seconds before Marissa broke it
"Does he know?"
"Yeah, he figured it out yesterday"
"Did something happen?"
"He asked for my phone number" summer said expecting that said enough
"Cool, wow I can't believe he is the boy from myspace"
"Ah believe me I was there for a while but now, I'm just glad he is" summer smiled wider
"So that's why you're going?" Marissa said giving summer a knowing smile
"Well sort of, I mean no, I do really have to talk to his dad, but I wouldn't mind seeing him" summer said casually
"Um huh, its okay sum, I'm just happy to see you smile, now go get him" she said and pushed summer out of the apartment
"Gees calm down tiger, there's no rush, we just found out"
"oh come on, you've waited enough already" she said and closed the door, summer signed and started walking, it was actually true, she had been waiting without knowing it, that's why no one was ever good enough, or right or him.
Kirsten and sandy were waiting for the Seth and Ryan to come up so they could go, nothing fancy, some casual family time at some even more casual restaurant.
Just then they heard a knock on the door and thought it was the boys, it was 7 already.
"It was about time" Kirsten answered the door to reveal a young beautiful lady "oh im sorry I thought you were my sons"
Summer smiled "that's okay" she must be Seth's mother, she thought
"Can I help you?" Kirsten asked being polite
"Uh actually yes I think so, does Mr. Cohen live here?"
"That must be my husband, come in and I'll go get him, make yourself comfortable" Kirsten opened the door for summer to come in and went to find sandy
Summer smiled and thanked Kirsten, then her sight wandered around the living room, finally she took a seat in the couch, just then she heard the door open
"I'm telling you man..." Seth stopped the moment he saw summer sitting at his parents couch
"Uh hi" summer nervously said
"Hi" Seth answered back "what are…I mean.."
"Oh I came looking for your dad"
"Is everything okay at work?"
"yeah yeah, everything's fine I just….." she never finished because sandy came in
"summer hi" he approached her and the moment he said summer Kirsten's eyes shout out and she turned to look at Seth, he just nodded
"Hi aren't you gonna introduce us sandy?" Kirsten appeared next to him
"Oh right, well summer this is my wife Kirsten, honey this is summer"
"Nice to meet you" summer extended her hand but Kirsten pulled her in for a hug, once Kirsten allowed summer out of the embrace, sandy proceeded.
"And this is my other son, Ryan" Ryan extended his hand for summer and she shook it
"Nice to meet you Ryan"
"Like wise summer" and she remembered, the names, he had told her about Ryan and his mom and….
"Summer take a seat please" sandy said as everyone else did too.
"thanks, I think I came in a bad moment, you seem like you were going somewhere" she said looking at sandy and Kirsten and finally resting her eyes in Seth's for a brief moment before sandy interrupted
"Oh don't worry, just Sunday casual dinner, there's no rush"
"Actually you should join us sweetie" Kirsten said and summer just looked at Seth
"oh no, I don't mean to intrude I just came back to talk about the help and Seth gave me, I didn't think I could make It any other day of the week, its gonna be a busy week" summer finished to sandy
"First of all you wouldn't be intruding, we are inviting you and second of all, what about it? Is there anything else you need, more letters?" sandy asked
"Thanks but no, I actually came to pay you" she said looking at sandy and Seth and then pulled a check book out of her purse
"Oh nonsense summer"
"What? No"
Sandy and Seth said at the same time
"We helped you" sandy said
"You don't have to…" Seth started but she interrupted
"I know, it's just I wanna thank you for helping me"
"Then come with us to dinner" Kirsten said
"Oh no that's really…"
"You said you wanted to thank us" Sandy told her
"I do"
"Then lets go" Seth said looking at her, everyone stoop up and Ryan spoke for the first time
"You're going anyway, we may as well go now" he smiled
"Oh ok" summer said and stood up, this was really not what she had in mind when she decide to come here.
"I think my mom wants to date you" Seth sad as they walked towards her apartment.
Dinner had been….way better than he thought it would be, after it was done, he left with summer to walk her to her apartment and to escape his mother's love towards summer.
"Oh come on, she was just being nice" they reached her door
"Well maybe, still she did really liked you"
"Well that's good, it was really scared when we first left their penthouse" they were now standing out of her place
"I know, I thought it would be really awkward" Seth said
"Yeah me too, but there's something about you and your family that just make me feel so comfortable" summer said quietly gazing at his lips "its feels like I've know you…"
"Forever" Seth concluded leaning closer to her face
"Exactly" she let out just before his lips made contact with hers
It was a tender kiss, he kissed her with respect, like he was afraid she wouldn't like it, oh but she liked it
He pulled away and they were staring at each other for a few seconds before she kissed him, but truly kissed him, it was still tender but he didn't seemed so afraid anymore when his hands found their way to her waist, she them brought hers to his face and the kiss deepened.
They stood there, outside of her apartment for a few minutes, the heat coming up with every passing second, but the tenderness never leaving, there was no rush….
Lack of oxygen made them break apart; he rested his forehead against hers
"Wow…" she said
"Yeah" he said out of breath and leaned in again
They broke apart "would you like to come in?" summer breathed out
There you go, so what do you think, too soon?
What should happen, should he come in or not yet, maybe he could come in but nothing really happens?
Help me out here I really don't know what to do?
