As Summer and Seth exited the woods, they saw Ryan and Marissa coming
in
from the beach. They heyed each other, and then an awkward silence fell.
"So...Where have you been?" Seth asked Ryan and Marissa, breaking the
silence.
"The beach," Ryan answered.
"Oh."
"And you two?" Marissa asked, noticing their intertwined fingers.
"Just taking a walk in the woods, resolving problems," Summer said.
"Good," Marissa smiled.
"Coop?"
"Yeah Sum?"
"Do you wanna spend the night?"
"I have to take Seth and Ryan home...but you are welcome to stay over at my
house."
"Alright, but we'll have to stay 'til everyone leaves..God!" she exclaimed upon
looking at her watch, "It's already midnight. It'll be at least one before we can get
everyone to leave."
They walked up the steps and onto the deck.
"You and Ryan," Summer said, gesturing to Marissa, "Check upstairs and kick
them all out. Tell them this ain't a damn brothel."
"Yes m'am," Marissa saluted, and went inside, Ryan trailing behind her.
"And what are we to do?" Seth asked.
"The tough job. Getting the downstairs people away from the liquor and out the
door."
"I think I'm up to it," he said, taking an exaggeratedly deep breath.
"Come on!" she laughed, pushing him into the house.
The four teenagers laid, crashed out on Summer's black leather couch.
"That party must have been exceptionally good," Seth murmured.
"Why do you say that?" Summer asked.
"Because it took us an HOUR and a HALF to get them all to leave."
"Well we'd better head out before they come back," Ryan suggested.
"Yeah," Summer said, picking up the bag she had packed, "Coop, do you want
me to take my car or...?"
"No my mom is getting her stuff tomorrow afternoon so..."
"'Nuff said. You can stay over tomorrow night," she said closing and locking the
door.
The foursome got into Marissa's Jeep and headed the few blocks to the Cohen and
Cooper households. When they arrived, Ryan made a sly comment to Marissa.
"Why don't I walk you to the door."
"Yeah," she smiled.
When they left, Summer said in a low voice, "Why don't I walk you to the door?"
"Yea," Seth replied in a falsetto voice, and they giggled.
They walked to the front door and Seth started to unlock the front door, but
Summer pulled him back.
"Hey, do you wanna come over tomorrow? Me, you, Marissa, and Ryan can just
hang out on the beach or by the pool and then watch movies and have dinner or
something."
"Yeah, that sounds good. Night," he said, trying to enter the house once again.
"What in the hell is your problem?" she asked, pulling him back by the collar.
"My problem?" he asked, feigning ignorance.
"Do you want to kiss me or not?"
"Well, I thought I was the girl in this relationship, and girls are not supposed to
kiss on the first date!" he said, speaking in the falsetto voice and then swooning.
"Oh my god! You are so weird."
"You did not just say that," he said, snapping his finger in her face.
"Shut up," she said, kissing him on the lips.
When they separated, Summer said, "See you at four."
"Of course. See you then...Am I free to go into my house now?"
"Yeah," she laughed and made her way over to the Cooper house. She didn't see
either Ryan or Marissa's form, so she thought it safe to go in the house. She silently
padded up to Marissa's room, washed off her make-up and changed into her bed clothes
. She pulled a magazine off Marissa's bedside table, and started reading. About ten
minutes later, and in the middle of a very informative article on how to apply perfect
eyeliner, Marissa walked into the room. Her hair was slightly mussed and her lips were
swollen. They just stared a each other for a second, and then burst out in unison.
"Girl! I've got sooooo much to tell you!"
Ryan made his way back to the pool house. Marissa had invited him and Seth
over tomorrow to Summer's for a day of chill time. He opened the door to his room and
he saw Seth sitting on his armchair. They glanced at each other.
"Dude, you won't believe what happened," Seth said.
"Dude, you won't believe what happened," Ryan said simultaneously.
*How cute. Everyone is happy! And that was a dang long chapter. Well pullllleeze
