5 minutes past before each of them said anything, Summer didn't want to ruin the moment, whereas Ryan was afraid that Summer may be feeling uncomfortable or didn't think it was very good. Ryan became to much absorbed in his thoughts, What if I didn't give her an amazing time? Was Seth Cohen actually better than me? But he snapped back to life when summer said "That was great!" Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, Seth Cohen wasn't better than he.

All of the sudden Ryan became aware of the unmistakable sound of the Cohen's Rolls Royce pulling into the driveway. Ryan quickly jumped out of betting, forgetting that he was naked and ran to the window to confirm it was them.

"Oh God, the Cohen's are home...you gotta go! I mean I'm sure Seth's over you and everything...I just think..."

"Oh n-no, I totally get what you mean, I just need like 5 seconds and I'll sneak out the back door."

Ryan sighed yet another one of relief, he hoped that Summer would understand and not take it personally that he didn't want his best friend walking on him and his old girlfriend having sex. Summer hurriedly jumped into her vintage blue jeans and pale pink top stuffing her underwear and bra into her pockets, and slyly slipped out the back door of the pool house and descended down the staircase to the beach. He watched her figure loom in the distance and finally disappear through the fog. He then quickly threw on a pair of boxers lying on the floor, and the jeans he had been wearing earlier.

He had just slipped into his wife-beater when he heard the doorknob of the front door of the pool house suddenly turn and door flung open the door and Seth's body appeared in the doorway.

"Wow man, you missed a hell of a dinner," Seth said with a smirk on his face as he let himself in and plopped down onto the chaotic assembly of the sheets that lay on Ryan's bed, "oh whoops sorry man, I don't mean to do these things...it's like I want to walk in on you changing."

Ryan forced a small lap and then sat down next to Seth, after putting on the same sweatshirt that Summer had been wearing but a half hour ago.

"Wow Ryan, you musta got laid, you're never this messy," said Seth with a chuckle, "What were you doing?"

Ryan laughed a rather awkward laugh and just replied with a "Oh, you know."

Seth began to explain to Ryan how he had missed one of the few crucial dinners in the Cohen history, though Ryan had felt he had had enough experience in moments that would go down in Cohen family history. Ryan had witnessed his ex-girlfriends mom get married to his step-grandfather, enough to last anyone for a lifetime.

Ryan felt awkward around Seth for the rest of the night, it was suddenly dawning upon him now, what a mess Seth would be if he found out that Ryan had slept with his ex-girlfriend. Also, though Seth denied it, Ryan knew that Seth was still in love with Summer, they way he gazed at her, the same gaze he held before Summer even talked to Seth, and through to when they had had sex for the first time, it never changed.

As Ryan painstakingly listened to Seth drone on about the dinner in which Kirsten had gotten up and left after Caleb had insulted Sandy, and the upraising of Seth. Ryan didn't bother to listen to much, his mind traveled elsewhere. Ryan was thinking about the next time he would even see Summer, Seth barely left the house without Ryan, after he and Summer broke up. Perhaps he could set Seth up with a girl from school or something. Ahh, who was Ryan kidding, he didn't have any friends at Harbor that were girls other than Marissa and Summer.

Finally Seth had run out of things to say, and thought that Ryan looked a little bored so then is when he decided to retire to his room and fill the rest in with Captain Oats. Though, as Seth made his way out of the pool house and towards his own house, he couldn't help ignoring why Ryan was acting so weird, he seemed to be acting as though he was hiding something.

Ryan and Seth both lay in their beds that night, thinking about the night's past events. Ryan, thinking when the next time he would see Summer again, Seth thinking about why Ryan had been acting as if he was hiding something, very peculiar that was indeed, not like Ryan.

The next morning Ryan awoke with a start at the pounding at the pool house door, his vision was obscured due to a rather early morning awakening for him. The person at his door was blocked from the shade that he had put down the previous night. The only thing that he could make of the strange figure knocking at his door at 6:30 in the morning was that it was a female, noticing the bottom part of the shaven slender legs wearing pink flip-flops. To Ryan's surprise the knocking subsided, and before he knew it Summer had just appeared in his doorway wearing a tight spaghetti-strap v-neck shirt and vintage mini-skirt.
