Summer dialed Marissa's number and waited for her to answer. She spent the last 2 hours packing for her trip to Tahiti. She wanted everything to be perfect, and had finally narrowed down her selection to fit into her medium sized Fendi carry on. She wishes she could tell Marissa about her trip, so that she can get a second opinion on her outfits.

"Hello?"

"Hey Coop; I'm just calling to find out how your lunch with Chino went. You didn't call me so I was getting worried."

"Oh, sorry Sum, I actually just got in. I was about to call you." Well she didn't sound drunk of high summer thought, which is always a good thing.

"Soooooo...."

"It was amazing. We met up for lunch at the crab shack and talked. At first it was a little awkward. Actually it was a lot awkward, Ryan not being much of a talker. But after we got over the weirdness it was really great. He still loves me Sum. He told me that. Anyhow, after lunch we went for a walk on the pier, made out a little, and then he had to go catch his bus back to chino. He would not let me drop him home."

"So you guys are like back together?"

"Ummmm...no, well I dunno. He says that he will come and visit me as much as he can, but he did not want to put anything in stone until he found out whose baby it is."

"Oh, Ok. Well are you Ok with that?"

"I mean, not really, I want to be with him y'know? But I love him, and he loves me so the most we can do for now is take it one day at a time."

"Ok. Well that good. That is good right coop?" Summer asked uncertainly.

"Yeah, it is. I just wished he was living at the Cohen's' again."

"Yeah, don't we all" summer said wistfully.

Summer wanted so badly to tell Marissa about her impending trip to Tahiti to see Seth, but she knew that Seth would not forgive her if she betrayed his trust.

"So what's up with you? What did you do today? Oh yeah! Ryan says hi. He is so completely crushed by Seth leaving."

"Oh, well I am fine. Same old same old. Hanging in there (summer was trying her hardest to sound depressed even though excitement was coming out of her pores). Did Ryan go see the Cohen's?"

"Yeah he went before we had lunch. They begged him to come home. Kristen got hysterical saying that she can't lose both her sons."

"Shut up! What did he say?"

"Well he just told her that he has to be with Teresa to protect her."

"God, everything is so messed up, I feel so bad for the Cohen's. Losing both kids."

"Yeah I know. I told him he should come home, but he just kept saying he needs to protect Theresa and the baby."

"Well I really hope things work out with you guys."

"I know me too."

"Well I gotta go wash my hair; it's getting greasy... very Nicole Richie." Summer had to get off the phone quick or she might spill her guts.

"Ok well call me tomorrow. We can go do something."

"Yeah, sure." Summer hung up the phone and went into her bathroom. She washed her hair and put it in hot curlers. She then gave herself a mini facial, and eventually fell asleep watching summer reruns of The Valley.

Summer got off the plane slowly. She ran her hand nervously down her yellow Juicy linen tube dress to make sure everything was perfect. She checked her compact one last time to make sure her make-up was perfect. Why was she so nervous? Seth had seen her naked before for god's sake! But summer knew why she was nervous. A lot has happened over the last few weeks. Seth told her he loved her, and she loved him right back. It felt like they were going to be seeing each other for the first time.

Summer made her way down the path to the luggage area. She saw no sign of Seth, so she went over to Baggage Claim to try and find the conveyer her carry on was on. She had just found her bag and lifted it off the conveyer when she felt someone reach up behind her and kissed the back of her neck

"AAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Summer screamed and whipped her body around to find Seth standing there smiling at her. God, he was so handsome summer thought to herself. Not in your typical Abercrombie and Fitch way, but the way that took your breath away when you least expected it.

Summer dropped her bags and ran into his arms, and melted right into him. They just stood there holding each other for the longest time, both heartbeats beating rapidly against their chests. Seth felt summer's entire body trembling.

Summer missed his smell, and the soft feel of his cotton shirts beneath her fingers. Seth pushed her away from him just a little and gently raised her head. He bent down and placed his lips on hers. He just wanted to taste her again, take her in. The kissed started out softly, but by the time they broke apart, they were both breathless.

"Hey summer, wow. You look amazing. I mean usually, yellow would drown out light complexed people but you wear it really well. I mean..."

"Seth" summer said softly.

"Yeah?" Seth answered taking in a deep breath.

"You're rambling." Seth just smiled and kissed her again.

"You look beautiful."

"Thanks, you look tanned." And totally hot, summer thought to herself.

"That's what 2 weeks on a boat and no sunscreen does to you. Thank god my people are used to long periods of sunlight...y'know...forty days, forty nights."

Summer just laughed. She missed his rambling. She reached up on her tippy toes and gave him another soft kiss before turning around to grab her carry on.

"Are you gonna stand there and stare at my boobs, or are you going to help me with my bags?" Seth smiled, grabbed her bags and wrapped his arm around her neck.

"And for the record, your boobs were totally giving me the one eye." Seth said before kissing the top of her head.

"Shut up Cohen."

The headed towards the taxi stand.

When they got to Seth's hotel room, Summer dropped her bags and ran to the bathroom. She had refused to pee in the airplane lavatory, and now she had to pee like a banshee.

"Summer you Ok?" Seth asked worriedly.

"Yeah, the airplane bathroom was really gross. It had liver spot written all over it."

After a couple minutes, Summer came out of the bathroom.

She was not wearing her Juicy dress anymore.

Seth did not see her because he was sitting with his back turned to her.

"Seth" summer said softly, walking over to the couch.

Seth turned around and all the air immediately left him. She was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. How did he get so lucky? Seth thought to himself.

Summer walked over to him and straddles his thighs.

"Hi" Seth was at a loss for words. All he could do was stare at summer's pink lace Brazilian boy cut brief and bra to match. She was breathtaking.

"I missed you" summer said seductively in his ear. She leaned into him and gave him a soft kiss on his neck, then ran her tongue up to his mouth, slowly coaxing his mouth open. He was so warm. Summer wanted to melt right into him, and after a couple of minutes kissing him passionately, she did.

Seth let his hands run slowly over summer's body, reacquainting himself. God he missed her. She smelled so good. Her beautiful olive skin was so warm to his touch. It made his whole body shiver. Seth was positive this is what love felt like in its purest most carnal form.

"Oh God Summer, I missed you too." Said whispered in between kisses. He slowly unhooked her bra and kissed her nipples gently, watching them hardened in excitement. Seth heard summer take a quick breath and whispered his name. He picked her up and took her over to the bed where he laid her down gently. Summer helped him out of his clothes.

"No fish sex, I promise." Seth said jokingly.

He got on top of her and gently brushed the hair out of her face.

"I've missed you. Even captain Oats told me I was a dumb ass for leaving you."

"I had a couple rage blackouts. The last two weeks were hell Cohen. Coop was a drunken mess. I was so worried about you."

"I'm sorry." Seth said kissing her softly. He slipped his tongue into her mouth and explored the contours of her mouth, teasing her. Seth felt Summer shiver and moan.

"Cohen?"

"Yeah Sum?"

"Did you really mean what you said?" Summer asked shyly.

"About the sunscreen? Yeah I ran out on like the second day."

Summer pouted and turned her head away from Seth.

"Just kidding" Seth turned her face back to him.

"About me loving you? OF course I meant it. I have loved you since the third grade. That has never changed." Seth kissed Summer with a passion that shocked them both.

"How could I not love you? You are beautiful and perfect." A tear slipped out of her eye and slid down her cheek.

"But you left me." Summer said softly, looking away completely embarrassed.

"Summer, look at me." Seth said softly. Summer slowly turned to face him.

"A lot have things have changed over the past year. And I don't know what tomorrow holds. But I do know that I would love to spend all my tomorrows with you. My feelings for you will never change ok? I love you, from afar and up close. I will always love you, no matter what."

Summer Smiled and kissed Seth Softly on his lips. It was a sweet kiss that made time stand still for just a little while. Summer could just not bring herself to tell him that she loved him too, even though she wanted to. She loved him with all her heart. So instead she tried to show him by making the sweetest love with him that afternoon. When Seth finally entered her, summer felt like she had finally come home.
