Disclaimer: Fox and Josh Schwartz own The O.C. not me.

Seth sat at his desk, staring off into space. The picture of Summer that was sitting on his desk caught his eye. Seth picked it up and gently fingered over the glass. He sighed knowing that he'd never get her off his mind.

"Excuse me, Mr. Cohen," Beth called opening the door.

Seth quickly placed Summer's picture back in its place.

"Come in…and please call me, Seth," Seth replied, straightening his tie.

"Right. Seth," she paused watching him fiddle with his suit. "Are you alright, sir?"

"Hmm? Oh yes. I'm fine. I'm great. Never better."

"Are you sure? Well I mean I know it's not my place or anything but- I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm here…if you want to talk about it," Beth replied, adjusting her skirt so it rode up more when she took a seat in front of his desk.

Seth flashed a quick, forced smile trying to ignore the way her skirt was riding, "Thanks, but I'm fine."

"Right. Of course."

They sat in silence for a moment. Beth adjusted her shirt making her cleavage even more obvious while Seth tried to ignore it.

"Did you need something?" Seth asked finally.

"Oh! Yes! The um, the new-the new documents came for you today. Mr. Thomas wanted to make sure that you've reviewed them and he said he'd like to have the revised copy on his desk by tomorrow morning," Beth answered.

"Shit," Seth muttered.

"I'm sorry. What?" Beth asked, not actually hearing him.

"Hmm? Oh nothing. I just…well this just made my day that much better."

"If you'd like I can stay a little longer and try to help you finish. I catch on quickly so if you tell me how to do it the way you like, then I'm sure it'll be more than satisfactory."

"It will?" Seth asked, swallowing hard.

"Well I hope so. I mean I work really hard to please, so if you tell me what to do I'll do it."

"Um," Seth said, squeezing his eyes shut and then opening them again to clear his head. "You know what, that's probably not necessary. It's already after five. You really don't have to stick around here."

"It's no problem really…I want to."

"Well…uh…it's kind of complicated and…I should probably just do it alone."

"If it's complicated then at least let me help you. I could stay and get you coffee refills and order some Chinese, whatever you need," Beth practically begged, leaning forward a little.

This provided Seth with an even better view down her shirt.

"That's uh, that's really very thoughtful of you, but it's fine if you go…really," Seth stuttered.

"Mr. Cohen," Beth started. "I mean Seth, it's no problem for me to stay. In fact, you're not going to talk me out of staying here," she smiled.

"Are you sure? I- I could always fire you."

Seth swallowed hard again.

"Don't be ridiculous. Let me help you tonight," Beth laughed. "I'll even order the food…it's on me."

Seth smiled uneasily and nodded.

Beth grinned and walked back out of his office to order some food.

"I hope the food isn't literally on you," Seth whispered as he looked as her through the door.

Beth was bent over her desk using the phone. Seth began to wonder how her skirt has shrunk since this morning and how exactly her top had gotten smaller, because it really appeared that she was suddenly less clothed than before.

"The food should be here in twenty minutes," Beth said as she re-entered Seth's office.

Seth smiled and nodded.

"So now what would you like me to do?" Beth asked.

Seth thought, 'how is it that such a simple question can be said so suggestively.' He swallowed hard again for the millionth time in the past fifteen minutes.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"So dinner, tonight? I'll cook," K.C. offered.

"You cook?" Summer asked incredulously.

"Oh I'm full of surprises…my best surprise is probably my ability to call for take-out."

"I knew it," Summer grinned.

K.C. laughed.

"So what do you have in mind? Because I could kill for some good ol' Chinese," Summer smiled, as they walked off set.

"Chinese is good. I can do Chinese," K.C. replied.

"Then you have a deal. What time you want me to come over?"

"You could just come now, if you want."

"Nah, I need a shower first. I'd like to rid myself of all of your germs," Summer teased.

"Why don't you just shower at my place?"

"Well…I guess…but actually, that's probably not the best idea."

"Is this about Seth? Look, I thought we were cool now," K.C. sighed.

"No! No, it's not that. It's just…you don't have the right shampoo and body wash," Summer finished lamely.

K.C. just looked at her not buying her excuse, "So you're still worried about the Seth situation. How many times do I have to apologize? Yes, I was an ass but he was throwing around some pretty heavy accusations."

"I don't care about the who said what and the he started it business."

"Then what's the problem? I thought we were over this."

"There is no problem," Summer said finally.

"Then that settles it. You can ride with me and I'll take you to my place," K.C. said decidedly.

"Why don't I just follow you? Otherwise, I won't have a car to get home tonight or get here tomorrow morning."

"Don't worry about it. I'll give you a ride."

"So you'll pick me up tomorrow morning?"

"Yeah. Sure. So come on. Let's go to my car," K.C. grinned and winked at her.

Summer shrugged uneasily and followed him.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Seth and Beth were sitting on the floor of his office with papers spread all around them and two empty boxes of Chinese. They were actually talking and getting along pretty well…and getting some work done at the same time.

"So wait a minute. Let me get this straight. He threatened you?" Beth asked.

"Well not exactly. I was more or less doing the threatening," Seth answered sheepishly.

"No wonder why. I would too if someone was after my fiancé."

"So I wasn't completely out of line?"

"Of course not! He wants in Summer's pants…well I mean…it seems like he does," Beth finished.

"That's what I thought! But now he's telling her that he's not interested in her like that and that I was jealous so even though he approached," Seth used air quotations, "it wrongly he was just pissed because I was throwing around useless accusations."

"And she believes him?" Beth scoffed.

"Yeah. Apparently so."

"I knew that fame and all of that can leave you a little disillusioned but I never thought it made you stupid," Beth said rolling her eyes.

"I know!...well not that Summer's stupid…but I don't see why she can't understand why I'm not comfortable with them hanging out all the time after they finish filming for the day."

"So she still hangs out with him? Even now?"

"They're just friends," Seth said with disgust.

"I see," Beth said in a different way.

"What? What does that mean? You said that like I see, not like I see," Seth worried.

"It's nothing. I'm sure I'm wrong."

"No. What? Tell me."

"I- it was stupid for me to even think it. Don't worry," Beth fumbled for the words.

"Think what? Just tell me. I am worried!"

"Well don't panic or anything but it would just seem like maybe…she doesn't…see things your way…because…she doesn't want to," Beth said slowly.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean…maybe she likes having him like her…maybe she might like him…but just doesn't exactly realize it yet."

"You think? You think she likes him?" Seth asked with panic in his voice.

"It's possible, isn't it? He's a star. She's a star. They have that whole stressful career and lack of privacy thing in common. They could understand each other really well. Plus, working together sometimes leads to more," Beth said pointedly to Seth, as she scooted a little closer to him.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

When they arrived at K.C.'s he showed her to the bathroom and sat out of a towel and everything for her.

"Thanks," Summer said, as K.C. began to walk out.

"No problem…oh and the door doesn't exactly lock so ya know," K.C. shrugged.

"Right. I'll let you know when it's safe to come back in or I'll just come out," Summer nodded.

K.C. smiled and walked out.

While Summer was in the shower, K.C. ordered the Chinese and set up the table with a candle in the middle and put on soft music. He dimmed the lights a little.

"Romantic take-out," K.C. muttered to himself and sighed.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Yeah, but Summer's not like that. She would never- I mean- she loves me," Seth's voice went up an octave as he finished.

"I don't doubt she loves you…but she might have a crush on him."

"Then it's just a crush. It'll go away. Crushes do that," Seth almost whimpered.

"Unless they turn to more…I'm not trying to suggest anything. But she is over there with him…and you're clear over here…with me."

Beth moved closer to him.

"Yeah but-," Seth started.

"Shh," Beth said cutting him off and placing her fingers against his lips.

"Beth," Seth mumbled against her finger.

"Just do what feels right," Beth whispered leaning in to kiss her.

"Right. What feels right," Seth whispered, leaning in towards her.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Summer got out of the shower and wrapped the towel around her. She wiped off the fogged up mirror with her hand and scrunched her hair a little with her left hand. She squinted at her reflection before grabbing the hair brush that was resting on the sink and began combing out her tangles. She flashed a smile in the mirror then picked at her teeth a little with her nail. Finally, she looked around the counter for her engagement ring. She couldn't find it. She picked up her clean clothes and tossed them aside, still unable to find her ring. She began moving around various items, trying desperately to find her ring. She knocked the soap dispenser into the sink with a loud clank.

"Summer," K.C. called coming to the door. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I just dropped the soap thingy in the sink. I can't find my engagement ring," Summer whined.

"Let me help you," K.C. said and began opening the door.

"No, wait-," Summer started as he came in and stared at her with an open mouth. "I'm in just a towel," Summer finished.

"I-uh-um-sorry," K.C. stuttered and darted out the door.

Once on the other side of the door, K.C. grinned devilishly.

"Shit," Summer muttered and shut the door all the way again and started to dress.

A few minutes later, Summer came out of the bathroom and waved at K.C. sheepishly.

"I'm really sorry about that," K.C. said, blushing a little.

"It's ok. At least I had the towel," Summer tried to joke.

But they both just looked at the floor and blushed.

"Did you find your ring?" K.C. asked.

"Yeah, it was on the floor buried in my other clothes," Summer replied an flashed her ring at him.

"That's good. I'm glad you found it," K.C. said tightly.

"Me too. Is the good here?"

"Oh yeah. Of course. Let's eat."

"Candles? Music? And a fancy meal like Chinese," Summer laughed.

K.C. grinned and shrugged.

"It works," Summer said, taking a seat at the table.

"Glad you like," K.C. chuckled.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"This doesn't feel right," Seth said, pulling away from Beth before they got any closer.

"What?"

"I'm engaged. I-I have to go," Seth said nervously and stood up.

"You what? But-," Beth tried.

"But nothing. This isn't working for me. I should go. You should go."

"But the paper work, Mr. Thomas needs that by tomorrow morning."

"Yeah, the thing is- see, Mr. Thomas likes me so I'm sure if I don't get it finished right this minute…I'm just going to go. You can let yourself out."

"Damn it," Beth cussed as Seth left.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Well thanks for dinner and everything," Summer said later that evening.

"Oh, you're ready?"

"I-we have to be that kinda early tomorrow so I figured I'd just turn in a little earlier tonight."

"Let me get my keys," K.C. said.

"I can call a cab," Summer suggested.

"No, this was part of the deal. I take you home and I pick you up tomorrow."

"Alright."

On the drive to Summer's, K.C. kept glancing at her as she stared out the window.

K.C. flipped through the radio stations then gave up and opened the middle consol between the front seats. He pulled out an old cassette tape and grinned as he popped it in.

Summer was confused as the first song started up. She began laughing as soon as she recognized it and K.C. began to sing along with the words.

"There's things that you guess, and things that you know. There's boys you can trust and girls that you don't. There's little things you hide and little things that you show. Sometimes you think you're gonna get it but you don't and that's just the way it goes," K.C. sang.

Summer was nearing tears she was laughing so hard.

"I swear I won't tease you, won't tell you no lies," K.C. continued.

"I never pictured you to be a George Michael fan," Summer said between fits of laughter.

K.C. grinned and continued, "I've waited so long baby now that we're friends every man's got his patience and here's where mine ends."

Summer actually snorted she was laughing so hard. K.C. laughed while he sang the chorus.

"I want your sex…I want you…I want your...sex," K.C. finished up.

"Ok seriously, the fact that you sing this word for word is a little scary."

K.C. started cracking up eventually and couldn't finish singing.

"Really? You're a George Michael fan?" Summer asked after the song had ended.

"The man knows his stuff," K.C. smirked.

"Oh my God," Summer laughed and rolled her eyes.

(AN: First and foremost, I do not own the song "I want your sex" by George Michael. And now, I just want to say that the seductions are officially beginning. Even though K.C.'s seduction with a song was funny it's still the song that suggests all of his motives and everything. So yes, this is drama at its craziest and probably weirdest, but it's fun to write. I know it flips back and forth between the two situations a lot in this chapter but that's for thesomewhat suspense and everything I was going for. Who will do what with who?How far will things go? Wellhopefully you enjoyed these two chapters. Thanks for the reviews. Keep on reading.)
