Since the flight attendant left, Seth had fallen fast asleep with his mouth hanging slightly open, head lolling from side to side. Summer looked over at him in disgust. How did the dork manage to fall asleep when just five minutes ago he had been wide-awake, flirting with the flight attendant? Somehow, he looked so much younger asleep. Seth had boyishly long eyelashes and rumpled brown hair. Summer stared at him in fascination until his head suddenly started falling in her direction. Panicked, Summer did the only thing any reasonable person in her position would do: she smacked him on the head with her rolled up edition of Vogue. She turned her head to smile secretly in amusement as Seth woke up with a wounded and confused look on his face.
Marissa was having a much less amusing time than her best friend, because her partner still kept on giving her lewd looks. Just one seat ahead of her sat Ryan, with his ditzy partner who had not stopped talking ever since she had boarded the plane. A brilliant idea suddenly formed in her mind. It was so simple (and they were so simple) that it just might work.
"Psst! Ryan!" She whispered.
He turned around to face Marissa with a questioning look on his face. She beckoned for him to come closer while she whispered her plan to him. Meanwhile, Ryan struggled to pay attention to her words as her moist breath tickled his ear. Once she finished telling him, he grinned in agreement and set to work.
"Hey," Ryan said to his partner, "Wanna have some fun in the bathroom?"
Cindy blinked in surprise. What made him change his mind? It must have been her low-cut sequined tank top, her lucky shirt, she thought smugly.
"Just head back to the bathroom on the left," he continued.
"Don't be long," she replied coyly, fingering his arm.
Ryan suppressed a shudder.
Simultaneously, Marissa was telling her partner the same thing, as she leaned close, for added incentive...
"I'm ready for you now, baby," he grunted and thrust his hips forward.
Fighting the urge to grab the provided barf bag, Marissa managed to point him back towards the bathroom Cindy was in. As soon as he and Cindy left, Marissa and Ryan exchanged a secret, knowing smile.
It was almost like old times.
The flight attendant returned to Seth's side as Summer scowled at her.
"Mr. Cohen?" She asked demurely as she tapped his shoulder.
"Please, call me Seth," he replied charmingly.
She giggled, "Seth, I brought you a special drink," she said as she placed a pink concoction before him.
"Awww…look, it even has an umbrella," he said, smiling.
"I'd like to put an umbrella up her…" Summer grumbled and trailed off.
The flight attendant leaned closer to Seth and whispered, "I felt bad, because you had to sit next to her," as she tilted her head towards Summer.
Summer overheard her and her eyes blazed with fury. Uh-oh, Seth thought, here comes the rage blackout. But to his surprise, she didn't erupt…which actually scared him more. Summer was pretty angry, but she had a plan. The flight attendant was pretty, but she was no Summer Roberts. Of course, Summer knew that she couldn't go into one of her famous tantrums without getting into deep trouble, especially with Ms. Langdon supervising. There was an easier way…she would simply have to snatch Cohen's attention back, that's all.
"Excuse me," Summer said to Seth as she got up to "go to the bathroom. She brushed up close against him, slipping "accidentally" so that she could grab his shoulder, and so her face came dangerously close to his, holding his gaze for a split second. Then she stepped into the aisle, swaying her hips subtly as she went to the back of the plane, leaving Seth staring after her.
After Summer left, the flight attendant could see the glazed look on Seth's face, and decided to come back later. It was fine with Seth, who simply sat there, frozen, still lost in the moment. Seeing her up close, smelling her familiar perfume, was almost more than a simple Jewish boy could take.
Summer wasn't exactly calm either. That experience had jolted her more than she anticipated. Even though she thought that she would be in full control, it had been oh-so-tempting to just tilt her head forward a bit more. Summer pulled open the door to the bathroom and quickly slammed it shut again, after seeing more of Mike and Cindy than she ever wanted to. After finding another lavoratory, Summer stepped inside and just stood there for a minute, waiting for her pulse-rate to return back to normal. She reapplied her lip-gloss as her hand trembled slightly. Taking in a deep, calming breath—a difficult task considering that she was in a public restroom (ew!).
