Disclaimer : It would be awesome to own The O.C. I can only imagine. So, ask Josh Schwartz – he's the creator of The O.C.
Chapter 16 – Undeniable Combination
"Good morning." Seth said walking into the kitchen and heading to the coffee.
"Good morning son." Sandy said. "Is everything ok? It's kinda early for sunday morning." He said surprised to see Seth awake.
"Oh, I couldn't sleep. Too much coffee I guess." Seth shook his head. Sandy nodded.
"How is Summer?"
"Ok." Seth said and paused. "Did you know Anna is back in town?"
"Really?" Sandy raised his famous eyebrows.
"Yep." Seth nodded and took a sip of his coffee. "She's coming over today."
"Nice. I would be glad to see her."
"I wouldn't." Seth said in a small voice. Sandy looked at him questioningly.
"Is there something you wanna share?" he asked.
"It's just... she wants me back." Seth sighed.
"Oh, not the last year story again." Sandy shook his head. "Have you talked to her?"
"Yeah, but she's not listening. She's not giving up. And THAT was a quote." Seth answered raising his eyebrows in return.
"You have a tough life Seth." Sandy smiled.
"Oh, not you too..." Seth shook his head.
"Hey Anna!" Seth said smiling and kissed her on the cheek. "Come in."
"Seth." She grinned and came into the house. "You look great as always."
"Really?" he smiled "You too. Come on, why don't we go to my room. I don't believe you had a chance to talk to Captain Oats yet."
"Oooh... we could play a little bit of jenga." She winked at him while he leaded her upstairs to his room.
"Exactly." He said closing the door behind them. She sat on his bed and he went to her taking Captain Oats. "Hey Anna! I missed you." He said instead of him and looked down at Anna. He leaned in and kissed her, laying on the bed on top of her.
"Mmmmm... I knew you're gonna change your mind." Anna smiled looking at him and kissed him again.
"Yeah, well, you're here now and you're like a girly version of me... how could I resist?" he laughed and she punched him playfully.
"Actually, you're right. But that's kinda scary, right?"
Seth nodded.
"Yes, my dear Sethy girl." He smiled and kissed her again.
Wait something's wrong here. Seth is acting really strange. He couldn't just forget about Summer. This is too easy.
"Seth..." she said pulling away.
"What?" he asked still smiling.
"Nothing." She shook her head and went back to kissing.
Maybe Summer was not that important after all... No, it can't be. We broke up last year because of her. She was too strong competition for me... Well, I guess she's not anymore. Anna scores this time. Seth is mine.
Anna opened her eyes. Sure it was a dream, but it was a great one. This day's gonna be great.
"Hey Anna!" Seth said smiling and kissed her on the cheek. "Come in."
"Seth." She grinned and came into the house. "You look great as always."
"Really?" he smiled "You too. Come on, why don't we go to my room. I don't believe you had a chance to talk to Captain Oats yet."
Ok, this is scary. But awesome.
"Oooh... we could play a little bit of jenga." She winked at him while he leaded her upstairs to his room.
"Exactly." He said closing the door behind them. Summer was sitting on the bed.
What?
"Wait. What is she doing here?" Anna said looking at Seth.
"Nice to see you too Anna." Summer smiled and stood up walking to Seth. "We should talk."
"I thought you don't wanna see him ever again." Anna looked at her.
"Oh, come on, you know that's impossible. We go to same school." Summer laughed and looked at Seth. He blushed at his own words.
"See Anna, Summer and I ARE together. I tried to tell you that, but you just didn't listen." Seth said.
"But I kissed you and you kissed back and she saw us." Anna said.
"Have you ever heard of a word forgive?" Summer asked.
"I did. Just not from you." Anna said harshly.
"I changed." Summer smiled. "And so did you." She shook her head. "Unfortunately."
"I wouldn't agree. I'm stronger now."
"No, you're not. You're just more stubborn. And that doesn't lead you anywhere." Seth said softly.
"I want you Seth. I always did."
"Anna we already went through this last year. And you were smart enough to understand my feelings. Why did you come back? You were doing great in Pitsburg. You told me that yourself."
"Yes, everything was ok, but I couldn't forget you. I tried. But you're Seth Cohen." She said looking at Summer. Summer looked down. She knew that feeling too well. Falling for Seth Cohen. Seth didn't know what to say.
"You make me feel so bad. You know that the last thing I wanna do is hurt you." He said. "But I'm in love with Summer. God, how many times do I have to tell you that to make you understand? It's simple. Summer and I – we're together, we're in love, we mean each other everything, we're..."
"Undeniable combination." Summer jumped in taking his hand. He looked at her and smiled. Those were the right words.
Anna looked at them.
"What am I doing?" she said to herself and paused. "I should be the one who knows that better then anyone." She sighed. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I can't believe I came all over from Pitsburg. I thought you're over Summer. I should've known that's impossible. I mean, you loved her since you were ten. It's like destiny. God, I'm an idiot. What have I turned into?" she kept rambling, looked at them and went out of the room and out of the house.
Seth looked at Summer.
"Go after her." Summer smiled. She watched him kissing her and going out.
"Anna." He called her. She was standing on the hot sand, looking at the ocean. He came to her. "It's ok. You're not an idiot. You just assumed Summer and I are not together anymore."
She looked at him.
"Oh, Seth, I can't believe I did this." She laughed. "I mean, it's ridiculous. Even if you weren't together I should've known that she's the only one you'll ever love. Your love is too strong."
He nodded and the silence hit them. Minutes passed.
"I'm going back home." She said. "There's nothing for me here. We're still friends, right?"
He smiled. "Of course we are." He said putting his arm over her shoulders and walked along the beach with her.
"And I'll have to find some nice guy back in Pitsburg." She laughed.
"Absolutely. And he better be nice or..."
"You'll send Ryan to kick his butt. I know... I thought he's not into that anymore."
"Well, he'll always do that for his brother." Seth said laughing.
"Oh, yeah, right." Anna laughed as well. "Seth, I'm gonna miss you."
"I'm gonna miss you too, but we'll keep in touch like we did, ok?"
"Ok." She nodded smiling.
"As long as you don't fall in love with me again." He looked at her.
"Sure. Never again." She agreed.
"I know it must be hard, I'm irresistible Seth Cohen."
"Oh, god, Seth... eww..." she laughed
"Hey, eww is Summer's"
"Oh, yeah, right. Sorry..." she smiled "So, tell me more about Summer."
He looked at her, grinned and started talking.
Marissa and Ryan were making out when Seth and Summer entered the pool house.
"Oh, guys... please." Seth said and turned to Summer. "See? I told you it's not a good idea to go to the love-sex-nest..."
"Oh, shut up Cohen. You're lucky we didn't walked at something nastier." Summer laughed.
"Hey, stop it, I'm getting nasty mental pictures here." Seth said and finally looked back at Ryan and Marissa. "Hey guys."
"Oh, you finally remembered we're present." Ryan said.
"Bro, we talked about sarcasm." Seth shook his head.
"Anyway, guys, we came to ask you if you wanna hang out with us a little. We'll be in the living room." Summer smiled and pushed Seth out of the pool house.
Ryan and Marissa came to living room.
"I thought sex is not allowed in the living room. Did Kirsten and Sandy change the rules?" Marissa laughed.
"Of course not." Seth smiled moving away from Summer. "They are still thinking about it."
Ryan smirked and sat next to Seth.
"So, the fabulous four strikes again, right?" Marissa asked.
"Absolutely!" Summer answered looking at Seth who winked at her.
"You doubted it?" Ryan turned to Marissa.
"Of course not. These two..." she motioned to Seth and Summer. "They're too predictable. They're gonna stay together forever."
"That's because we're amazing couple." Seth said.
"That's because they're in love." Ryan added.
"That's because they can't live without each other." Marissa said.
"Wow... they are much like us." Ryan laughed looking at her and kissed her quickly.
"Yes, but you're forgetting one thing." Seth looked at him. "We are unbeatable couple."
Summer looked at him and nodded smiling.
"Undeniable combination." She concluded and gave into a kiss.
