A/N- Thanks again for all the reviews guys-how about the S/S kiss in "The Girlfriend?" The "I wish I was a mermaid…" part? Possibly the cutest thing ever. Anyways, here's chapter five!

Chapter Five
Tidal Wave
~*~
Summer was left standing there in a somewhat stupor. Prove it? What was THAT supposed to mean? She quickly went in the room after him.
"What do you mean, prove it?" Summer said to Seth's back.
Seth turned around, sighing.
"Wow, you really are not good with this relationships thing." He said.
"Like you're such an expert. Please." Summer rolled her eyes.
Seth's jaw tightened slightly.
"Okay, Summer, let me break this down for you. All I meant by that was that if you really want to take back all that crap you said last night, then show me that you mean it. Don't be all in denial about whatever's going on between us whenever something happens. Don't treat me like dirt whenever Ryan and Marissa are around. That's what I meant."
"Oh."
An awkward silence fell between them.
"Seth?" Summer finally said.
"Yeah?"
"I can do that."
"Really?" Seth grinned.
"Sure, I'll give a mature relationship a try." Summer shrugged.
"Awesome!" Seth smiled grew wider.
They fell silent again.
"So…we should kiss or something." She suggested.
"Yeah, we most definitely should." Seth nodded.
Both grinning, they stepped towards each other, their lips meeting in a sweet, long kiss. It had none of the weird desperation of the other times this had happened. Summer was shocked by how right this felt. This was Seth Cohen-the guy that she'd known since third grade but had mostly ignored for most of her high-school career. And here she was kissing him. Who knew?
Suddenly, Seth deepened the kiss and Summer instantly responded. Where the hell did Cohen learn to kiss like this? It was amazing. And somehow, this simple kiss meant more than any random hookup from all of Holly's stupid parties. Summer had never really felt anything for those guys-this was the only kiss she'd ever had that she knew could be the beginning of something great.
~*~
"So, I guess we should go get Seth and Summer. They're probably both just upstairs looking sullenly out the window or something." Marissa giggled.
"Most likely." Ryan agreed.
But at that moment, both Seth and Summer came practically bounding down the stairs, equally wide grins on both their faces.
"Hey, guys!" Summer flounced over to the counter, sitting up on it.
"Hello, Happy Sunshine Twins." Marissa said, raising an eyebrow.
"Let's hit the beach, baby!" Seth clapped his hands together.
"Someone's feeling better." Ryan commented.
"Better? I feel muy bien. That's a little multilingual action for ya, buddy. Something I learned in my "Me Time."
Summer giggled.
"Your "Me Time?" She asked.
"Yeah, it's pretty much what I call the time I can't seem to fill with anything of importance. Except for learning Spanish. And yoga."
"You do yoga?" Summer now looked horrified.
"That's called sarcasm, hot stuff." Seth shook his head.
"I hate to cut off this shameless flirting, but let's go!" Marissa grinned, but suddenly noticed that neither Seth nor Summer looked the least bit embarrassed at her accusation, just merely kept smiling goofily.
They were so weird.
~*~
"Ahh, a primo beach spot." Seth said, as they laid out the four towels in the blazing California sun.
Everyone agreed apparently, because all four were happily sunbathing moments later.
"I love California." Summer said, putting on her sunglasses with a contented sign.
"Yeah. It's pretty super keen." Seth agreed.
"Please say you did not just use the words "super keen." Ryan shook his head.
"I'm not ashamed." Seth shrugged, grinning.
They all fell four into a comfortable silence.
Which was suddenly, and abruptly broken by…
"Seth?! Seth Cohen?"
Seth sat up, looking around with confusion. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the speaker in a red bikini.
"Anna! You're…here."
Summer sat up in horror at this proclamation, to see that, indeed, Anna, Seth's insanely weird date to Catillion was standing in front of them and looking at Seth with an expression that made Summer bristle with anger.
"I thought you were on a sailing trip." Seth said faintly.
"Well, we just got back! Hey, Ryan, Marissa…" She looked at Summer as if try to recall her name.
"It's Summer." She said through gritted teeth.
"Oh, right. The girl who didn't have a date." Anna laughed.
"That's me." Summer smiled falsely.
"Well, it's great to see you again, Anna." Marissa said, trying to abate the weirdly tense situation that was forming.
"Great to see you guys, too. Hey-Seth, call me later tonight, we can continue our comic book discussion over dinner or something." Anna whipped a pen out of her bag, writing her number down on a bewildered Seth.
"Uh…sure." Seth said faintly, as she walked away with a smile.
"Somebody's got a date…" Marissa said in a sing-song voice as Anna walked away.
Summer looked over at Seth, who was still looking at the number on his arm. Summer was practically livid with anger. Who did Anna think she was, just waltzing up and demanding that Seth take her on a date? Summer felt something in the pit of her stomach that she had never really felt before-jealousy?
