Chapter 2 – Secret

"So, everyone are going to Tijuana this weekend. You should come too." Marissa said looking at Ryan and Seth.

"I don't know. I mean, I'm new, I don't really fit in all this." Ryan motioned to the school. "Not to mention that I'm from Chino."

"Oh, come on, it doesn't matter. I've never been to Tijuana before, it should be great!" Seth said enthusiastically.

"Exactly. And Summer will come with us." Marissa added.

"One more reason to go." Seth grinned and looked at Ryan.

"Ok, I'm in." Ryan finally said.

Saturday came and Cohen mansion turned into one busy place. Well, it wasn't that busy if you don't count Seth. Sandy, Kirsten and Ryan watched him run through the house from time to time looking at each other.

"Who would've tell Tijuana could do that to our son." Sandy laughed.

"I think he lost his mind a little. Is it normal to be so nervous when you are a teenager and who goes on a trip?" Kirsten asked looking at Ryan.

"It is when Summer goes with you." Ryan smiled taking a sip of his juice. Sandy and Kirsten nodded understanding.

"Honey, do you need anything?" Kirsten asked looking at Seth who suddenly entered the kitchen.

"No, I'm fine. I'm done." Seth smiled taking his coffee.

"Thank god." Ryan murmured.

"I don't think that coffee is a good idea, son." Sandy shook his head.

"Oh, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm cool. I'm smooooooth." Seth nodded, Ryan raised his eyebrow looking at him, but didn't say anything. The doorbell rang, causing Seth jump and nearly spit his coffee. "They're here!" he said running to open the door.

"Smoooooooth..." Sandy laughed.

"Hey guys." Seth smiled looking at Marissa and Summer. Ryan came behind him.

"The day is great! This will be awesome, right Sum?" Marissa said.

"I won't be so sure so soon." Summer said quietly raising her eyebrow at Seth.

"Optimistic as always Summer." He answered and took her luggage. He went to the car and put it in the back. "I see you're prepared for the next month. Who knows what could happen... I like the way you're thinking." He laughed.

"The only thing that could happen is you experiencing one of my famous rage blackouts." She answered and turned around when Sandy and Kirsten came to say goodbye. "Hello Mr and Mrs Cohen." She smiled.

"Hey girls. Take care of our boys." Kirsten smiled and hugged Ryan and Seth.

"Yeah, and don't do anything we wouldn't." Sandy laughed giving them a hug as well.

"Dad, please..." Seth said with a disgused look on his face.

"Have fun!" Kirsten said looking them get into the car and driving off.

Watch the sunrise
Say your goodbyes
Off we go
Some conversation
No contemplation
Hit the road

Ryan and Marissa watched Seth and Summer talking for an hour already. It looked more like arguing then talking, but Ryan and Marissa were smiling. It would be strange to see the two of them getting along fine. And it looked like it lasted for a weeks now. Maybe because it did. Marissa and Ryan knew it too well. Cause Summer was talking about Seth almost as often as Seth was talking about her with Ryan.

"Cohen, how can you listen to this?" Summer asked pointing to the cds in her lap. She was desperately trying to find something 'decent', something that 'normal people can listen to'.

"Come on, Summer, that's like the best music ever." Seth laughed a little bit.

"Oh my god, you call it music?" Summer said clearly disgused. She took one cd. "Finally something normal." She said nearly jumping on her seat and putting cd in the cd player. "I knew there must be some sense of taste for good music in you Cohen. Yeah, it's a tiny sparkle, but something still may be done." She smirked looking at him.

"Oooh, really Summer? I can't wait to see you working on me." Seth said winking at her.

Summer blushed and looked away from him.

"Eww Cohen. Don't even say it." She said and Seth looked at her again.

"Awww... you said it yourself." He said innocently and looked at her better. "You're blushing Sum?"

"I'm not, I'm just hot."

"Great. Cause I'm too."

"Cohen!" she smacked him on the chest.

"Ow... I'm driving here... No one knows where we could end up but me, so, be nice to me."

"You're right, sorry." She answered, but she couldn't help smiling a little.

"Of course I'm right. I'm always right." Seth nodded glancing at her from time to time. She wanted to say something, but didn't.

He'll see when we come to Tijuana.

Marissa and Ryan looked at them once more and turned to each other smiling.

Car overheats
Jump out of my seat
On the side of the highway baby
Our road is long
Your hold is strong
Please don't ever let go Oh No

"Guys we've just got here and you're all over each other. That's just... eww..." Summer watched Marissa and Ryan making out.

"When did this happen anyway?" Seth asked Summer quietly.

"I have no idea." Summer replied.

"Well, you two were too busy to pay attention of what's going on the back seat." Ryan said breaking the kiss.

"Yeah. And we think you'll be better if you stay in one room and we take the other." Marissa added taking Ryan's hand and leading him to another room. Seth and Summer just stared at them walking away.

"Do you think it's a good idea? I mean, I'm worried about Seth staying alone with Summer." Ryan said to Marissa after she closed the door.

"Oh, come on, it's not like she'll eat him or anything." Marissa laughed.

"Yeah, but he may not survive the night in one piece."

"I think they'll be just fine. Like we will." Marissa smiled coming closer and kissing him.

"Just like us?" he asked raising his eyebrow.

"Probably..." she kissed him again.

"Coop?" Summer said unbelievingly still looking at the closed door. "You can't be serious..."

"Oh, I think she is." Seth said trying hard to suppress his laughter.

She turned to him.

"Cohen! It's all your fault."

"Mine? How?"

"Well, if you hadn't been such a jerk and arguing with me in that car we would see this coming."

"So what? They're together. You're not happy to see them together?"

"It's not about them and you know it. I'm not happy to see you and me in the same room."

"Aww... Sum... you said 'you and me'. I think my heart just skipped the beat."

"Jerk." She mumbled and went to the bathroom.

"But, you like me being a jerk, Summer." He yelled after her and sat on the bed smiling.

Summer looked at the mirror.

What is happening with me? I'm actually happy to be in the same room with Cohen. I can't believe I... like him? I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself. It's already happening. It's like I can't control my facial expressions. I actually laugh at his jokes and smile and blush... And I don't know what to do. Especially now with Marissa going off with Chino. I'm in Tijuana, stuck with Cohen in a room with one king size bed. Life couldn't get better...

I'm driving fast now
Don't think I know how to go slow
Where you at now
I feel around
There you are

Seth turned on the tv. The bathroom door opened and Summer came into the room wearing her babydoll and he couldn't help but look at her in awe. And again she couldn't help but smile.

Why does he have such an effect on me?

"Stop staring at me Cohen!" she said walking to the bed and standing beside it.

"I... I can't." He whispered and swallowed trying to recover his voice. "You look so sexy."

"Thanks. But stop, you make me feel uncomfortable."

"Ok. Sorry." He said glancing away and looking at the tv again.

"And get off the bed."

"What? Why?" He looked at her again.

"Because I want to lay down and I don't want you beside me."

"Oh no, I won't be sleeping on the floor." He shook his head.

"Come on Cohen? You don't want to make me feel uncomfortable, right?"

"What about me?"

"What about you? It's not a big deal."

"If it's not a big deal why don't you sleep on the floor?"

"Because you're a guy. And I thought you like me." She frowned a little bit looking away.

"Oooh, don't go there." He looked at her with wide eyes. "You know I'd do anything for you."

He's so sweet... Stop Summer.

"So, you'll do it for me?" She smiled looking at him again.

"Nah..." He shook his head and looked back at the tv.

"Cohen!"

"Summer, would it be so bad sleeping with me?" he asked nonchalantly. Realizing what he said he blushed and looked at her. "I didn't..."

"It wouldn't... I mean..." She didn't know what she meant.

"It wouldn't?" he stared at her again.

"Oh, just move." She said getting into bed and turning her back at him. He smiled.

"Summer..." he whispered leaning to her ear.

She shivered feeling his hot breath on her ear.

That's what I was afraid of. You and your big mouth Summer. You just couldn't control yourself, right?

"Yeah, Cohen?" she answered in a small voice.

"Why are you trying so hard to deny the undeniable?"

"What do you mean?"

I don't know if I can stand this any longer. Don't go there Cohen. Please don't.

"You and me."

"There is no you and me."

"Yeah, right. Why don't you turn around and tell me that looking in my eyes."

"Why would I? I did it so many times before."

"Then it shouldn't be hard for you."

She didn't move.

"I knew it. You can't do it. You like me, Summer. Why don't you just turn around and tell me THAT? I know you're keeping it inside and it's eating you up. Face it Summer. Let it out." He came even closer nearly touching her ear still whispering.

She turned around.

"I hate you." She whispered and kissed him roughly, messing his hair and getting on top of him. She slipped her tongue into his mouth finding his and pulling it into a wild dance. Seth felt electricity going through his body and he moved his hand down her back causing her shiver.

"You hating me is the best thing that have ever happened to me." He managed to whisper when they ran out of the air.

"Shut up Cohen." She replied meeting his lips with hers again. She took off his shirt and ran her hands up his chest to his hair again. Feeling him under her was amazing. She couldn't believe Seth Cohen turned her on like this. She broke the kiss and took off her top watching his reaction and giggling a little.

"You're such a dork, Cohen." She repeated her own sentence.

"Yeah, but you like me." He smiled happily kissing her and pulling her down.

Cool these engines
Calm these jets
I ask you how hot can it get
And as you wipe of beads of sweat
Slowly you say "I'm not there yet!"

"What happens in Mexico stays in Mexico." Summer said laying in Seth's arms.

"Does that mean what I think it means?" Seth looked at her.

"Just forget about this Cohen." She said quietly.

"I don't want Summer. I've been in love with you since I was ten. I want to be with you. I want you. I want you so bad." He whispered kissing her softly.

She looked at his eyes not knowing what to say. He always knew what to say. And she would just look at him and get lost in his eyes.

"You want me too, don't you?" Seth asked. He could clearly see it in her eyes.

"Can you keep a secret Cohen?" she simply asked.

"Yes, I can." He answered smiling a little and pulling her closer.

I know I don't know you
But I want you so bad
Everyone has a secret
But can they keep it
Oh No they can't
