Chapter 4

Reaching Out For What You Want

The drive to the Roberts household was definitely the most interesting one Seth had been on in a long time. He had been phrasing and rephrasing all the things he could say to make him come off as the sweet guy that he'd been lost from lately. In the space of a few weeks he'd gone form kissing Summer to fighting with Summer to reducing her to tears. Even he had to admit that wasn't a track record he could be proud of.

Soon enough he was in the long driveway leading to the entrance and then taking the last step and knocking on the scary and obnoxiously large door.

Once the door was swung open Seth could have sworn that it was quite possible that he let out a loud groan when Summer's father opened the door with nothing but a death glare as a greeting. It was clear to Seth that even through all the business trips and holidays her dad still had time to practically commit anyone that made his "little princess" daughter upset.

"Mr. Roberts, hi," Seth started confidently, but slowed at the look on said Mr. Roberts' face, "S – so I was, uh, just wondering if, maybe Summer was, uh, there, maybe at all."

Just as Mr. Roberts was about to answer with a not so nice tone, a small figure appeared at the doorway. At the sight of her red eyes, Seth silently cursed himself.

"Daddy, I'll take this," and with that her father had left the room. "What do you want Cohen?" she said dryly.

"Me? Right. So, I thought that maybe I could come here and talk properly. To you. And also maybe ask you if you'd forgive me for being an ass. To you!"

"Talk?" she questioned

"Yes! And apologise! Which I'm really hoping will go better than the first time I came here although I have to add, if you feel the need to do the whole aggressive kiss thing, that would totally work for me, or not!" he said hoping that he didn't just drop his chances considerably after realising what he just said.

She laughed, which made him smile a little, because really he didn't like the thought of her crying or hurting because of him and the fact that he could make her feel just a little better kind of helped him as well.

"So, what do you say?" seriousness coming in his voice.

"I say that I think we need talk properly, maturely. No more shouting or crying and I really hope that we can work this thing out," she responded as the last part came out with a bit of shyness in her voice.

"So, shall we go upstairs?"

"Sure."

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

They'd both gotten settled down on the bed and there was an awkward silence that filled them, so being who he was, Seth decided to lighten the mood.

"I've realised that we've gotten passed that wall boundary which I have to say is quite sad on my part."

She laughed again, looking down on something she'd come to think was quite interesting. When she looked back up her face was serious and you could see her eyes were glazed with tears, "I'm sorry," she said in a quiet, fragile voice, "for being the person you don't want me to be."

She looked at him through wide eyes. She'd though about him a lot that afternoon, thinking about how she wasn't good enough for him, how he needed something entirely different to what she could give and she came to the conclusion that she'd just voiced, that was why it wasn't working.

He looked at her realising the implications of her apology and his heart swelled. He wasn't gonna let her think that, because really, sometimes he though she was too good for him. She didn't deserve to be challenging herself, the person that she is because of him.

He was just Seth Cohen, and so what if she'd made mistakes, so had he, a lot of them actually but he loved her. As cheesy at it was, she was everything to him.

"You are more than I could ever want. I've always known that you were different to what everyone saw. I knew that you had a good heart and were someone other than who you played, I knew it right fro the start," he let his words register before continuing, "I just never imagined that you were as perfect as what I've finally got to known."

She started crying. She didn't know why but she was pretty sure it was because Seth Cohen had just told her everything she'd ever wanted to hear. She'd been so sure she was going to turn out to be another Newport ice queen, but here he was telling her she was wrong. She was kind and caring and maybe a little self absorbed at times, she thought but good hearted.

"I didn't mean for everything to get so like it is just because I couldn't deal with what I was feeling, " she responded quietly, bravely.

"What are you feeling?" he whispered, "You never told me what's been going on with you." He was being gentle.

"I tried earlier, you cut me off and it hurt that you could be so together when I was falling apart. I finally admitted to myself that I was falling in love –" she stopped her sentence dead.

'Oh God!' she thought. A beat.

"Y- You what?" he asked bluntly, not completely sure.

"I don't –" she cut herself off again. She'd learnt that there was no point hiding your feelings the hard way and she refused to do it anymore. She started again.

"I'm falling in love with you."

Seth looked in her eyes and could tell by the raw honesty that filled them she was telling him the truth. She was watching him and he could tell that she was desperately waiting for him to say something.

"I know that you might no-" he cut her off sharply with the pressure of his lips to hers.

She moaned softly as his tongue sought out hers only encouraging him more after having no contact with her at all for weeks.

Seth pulled back and stared at her, after a minute went by Summer started getting self – conscious.

"What?" she questioned, unsure under his intense gaze.

"I love you too," he spoke quietly and drew her close to him in a soft passionate kiss.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
