"She completely came on to me. She tried to kiss me!" Seth exclaimed as he paced in Ryan and Marissa's living room.

"Are you sure?" Ryan asked.

"Gee, I don't know. Maybe she was just going to lick a little Chinese off my face," Seth said sarcastically.

Ryan rolled his eyes.

"I'm serious, man. I don't know what to do," Seth sighed.

"What can you do? I mean, I guess you just have to go to work and either pretend like nothing happened or talk to her about it."

"I don't want to talk to her. I don't want to go near her. She's a seductress," Seth hissed the last part dramatically.

"She's a woman with a crush. Just tell her you're engaged," Ryan said ignoring Seth's dramatic performance.

"I already told her I was engaged. I already told everything about Summer."

"You told her you were engaged to Summer?"

"Yeah…why?"

"You said Summer Roberts?" Ryan asked, piecing everything together.

"Yes because that's who I'm engaged to," Seth said, not catching on.

"I hate to crush your ego but did it ever occur to you that she's interested because you're engaged to Summer?"

"What do you mean? She wants what she can't have?"

"No, I mean that she wants what a celebrity has," Ryan said slowly.

"No, that's ridiculous!"

Ryan just gave him a look.

"I think she was genuinely attracted to me and the fact that I'm engaged to Summer has nothing to do with it. I may be more appealing because I'm taken but it's possible that she actually likes me. Why is that so hard to believe, Ryan? You don't think women find me desirable?" Seth asked, offended.

Ryan just gave him another look.

"I'll have you know that I'm very desirable…and not just to Summer! Or people who want to be like Summer!"

"Right. I'm sorry. I just-it's a possibility."

"Well I don't see how it even matters why she wants in my pants. The problem here is that she indeed does want in my pants," Seth defended.

"Of course. That is the problem. I'm sorry I got off track," Ryan sighed.

"Thank you…I am desirable."

"Seth."

Seth looked at him curiously.

"I'm not gay. I don't know if you're desirable. I don't care to know if you're desirable. Summer wants you and apparently this Beth woman wants you, so you must be desirable," Ryan said flatly.

"I am….and don't you forget that," Seth added in lamely.

Ryan laughed and rolled his eyes, "So what are you doing to do about the Beth situation?"

"I guess I'll have to talk to her, tell her I'm taken and I'm not interested in having a girl on the side or whatever."

Ryan nodded.

"Yeah. I'm gonna talk to her…eventually," Seth said weakly.

"Seth."

"Ok, ok. I'll talk to her tomorrow."

"Alright. Good."

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Two weeks have passed and Seth still hasn't talked to Beth about the almost kissing incident. They've been spending more time together working but Seth usually makes sure that they're never alone. However, Beth still finds subtle ways to touch him or flirt with him. Meanwhile, Summer and K.C. have been spending more and more time together recently. He's always over at her apartment after they finish up on set or she's always at his apartment. Even their flirting level has escalated on set to the point that the crew is starting to notice. Rumors have been buzzing around Australia about the two of them and their budding "friendship".

"So I was thinking, this weekend we should check out this new restaurant near the beach. I've heard they have awesome steaks," K.C. suggested, flopping down in a chair in Summer's trailer.

"This weekend? I can't. I'm going home to see Cohen," Summer replied as she flipped through the latest Cosmo magazine.

"You're going back to Newport? Already?"

"It's been like two weeks since I got to him. It's been like almost a month since I've been home. I miss all of my friends."

"Gee, I'm glad I'm one your friends," K.C. teased.

"You know what I mean."

"Yeah I do…so when are you leaving?"

"Um Friday at…four…I think that's my plane…yes, four," Summer confirmed.

"That's-that's cool…I guess."

"What's wrong with you?" Summer asked, finally looking up from her magazine.

"Nothing…it's just…well I'll miss you," K.C. confessed with a small grin.

"Oh thanks, I'll miss you too," Summer laughed and rolled her eyes.

"I'm serious."

"So am I. A whole weekend without each other, whatever will we do," Summer teased.

"Shut up. I mean it. I'll be stuck here…just being bored."

"And I'll be stuck in Newport just…yeah no I won't be bored, sorry," Summer grinned.

K.C. rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue.

"Very mature," Summer giggled.

"One of the many things I've picked up from you," K.C. countered.

"Shut up."

"Snappy comeback."

"Whatev."

"Er. Whatever, Summer," K.C. smirked.

"I hate you."

"And I hate you, so that works."

"I mean it! Leave me alone. I'm trying to read," Summer said, trying to suppress a grin.

"Read what? Steinbeck? Hemmingway? Or…ah yes, the intellectually stimulating Cosmo," K.C. joked.

"I hate you. Get out."

"Make me."

"Don't tempt me. I'm infamous for my rage blackouts."

"So I've heard…but you know, I've never actually seen one. I figure that'd be a site to see. You all angry…sounds kinda sexy," K.C. said wiggling his eye brows at her.

"You are sooo…grr."

"Grr? You mean charming, gorgeous, sexy, loveable, down right tempting?"

"No. I mean arrogant, annoying, stupid, and perverted," Summer mock-glared.

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"Whatev."

"Er," K.C. coughed.

"What was that?" Summer asked, narrowing her eyes.

"It was nothing…whatever," K.C. coughed again.

"Shut up. I'm reading and your coughing is annoying."

"What, I have a cold."

"Then don't kiss me today. I don't want one."

"I can't help what the director tells me to do."

Summer rolled her eyes and began flipping through Cosmo again. Just then her cell phone rang.

"Will no one let me read in peace?" Summer asked grabbing her phone. "Hello."

"Sum, babe, it's me."

"Hey, Jerry," Summer said flatly.

"Don't sound so enthused to speak to me."

"I'm sorry. Hi, Jerry!" Summer exclaimed teasingly.

"That's better. Now guess what."

"What?"

"I have good news!"

"Good news? Ok so spill," Summer said raising her eyebrows at K.C. who was watching her. He grinned back at her.

"You know that Covergirl spokesman thing we wanted," K.C. began and paused for the desired effect.

"Yes? Go on. You have my attention."

"We got it! Well you got it…but still. You're Covergirl's newest fresh face!" Jerry exclaimed happily.

"Are you serious? They want me?"

"They want you. In fact, they want you this weekend."

"This weekend," Summer said with absolutely no excitement or enthusiasm.

"Yes, in New York," Jerry replied slowly, fearing her reaction now.

"This weekend? Jerry! I'm supposed to go home this weekend. I'm supposed to see Cohen! I need this! We need this! I have to see him!" Summer flipped out.

"Summer, this is the only time they can get you in to shoot the commercial and have the photo shoot."

"Jerry! No! I can't do it! I just can't!"

"You have to. If you want this fresh face business, then you have to," Jerry replied.

"This is absolutely the only time they're available?" Summer asked, giving in slightly.

"It's now or never."

"Then I guess…fine," Summer sighed sadly.

"I'm really sorry. You can see him the next weekend…or the one after that since you're scheduled to film the next weekend…so two more weeks. What's it gonna hurt?" Jerry asked, sounding truly sorry.

"Great. This is just great…I guess I should call Cohen and tell him the news."

"I'm sorry about this, kid. It's just the way it worked out this time."

"I know. It's fine. I'll talk to you later, Jerry….bye."

Summer hung up the phone and threw her magazine across the room angrily.

"Don't take it out on Cosmo," K.C. teased.

Summer glared at him.

"Ok. Take it out on Cosmo, just don't take it out on me," K.C. said quickly, putting up his hands in defense.

"I hate this!" Summer growled.

"So you're Covergirl's new fresh face? That's good," K.C. offered lamely.

Summer glared at him again.

"Look, you'll see Seth in no time," K.C. tried again.

Summer just glared again.

"Ok, clearly calming you down isn't working."

"Yes, clearly. So maybe you should just leave," Summer snapped.

"Hey! Don't get like that with me!" K.C. snapped back.

"Sorry," Summer muttered. "It's just so…frustrating. I don't get to see him. I never get to spend time with him. We barely even talk on the phone. He talks about work. I talk about work. Then we talk about how we miss each and then we hang up. We don't get to goof anymore. I don't get to laugh with him. I miss Cohen."

"Yeah but…well, you have me. We can goof off and laugh and hang out."

"Thanks," Summer smiled. "It's just not the same," she whispered.

"Yeah because I'm like way better looking," K.C. laughed, trying to joke with Summer.

Summer gave him a look.

"Ok, not way better looking…but maybe a little," K.C. smirked.

"That's my fiancé you're making fun of," Summer said, fighting a grin.

"Yeah, and you're laughing about it."

"I'm not laughing," Summer bit her lip, to suppress a giggle.

"Yes you are."

"This isn't funny. I love Seth. I think he's the most attractive guy in the world…because I love him," Summer grinned finally.

"I know, I know…but see at least I got to smile, even if I was making fun of your fiancé."

"Shut up," Summer tried to glare but ended up laughing.

"See, we have a good time together. Don't worry about Seth."

"I still miss him," Summer confessed.

"I know you do…but it can't be too bad hanging out with me all the time," K.C. grinned.

"Actually it's horrible," Summer replied before they both started laughing.

"I guess I should get going and let you call Seth…and finish reading Cosmo," K.C. teased.

"Thanks."

"I'll see you later."

"Uh huh. Later," Summer said, as K.C. walked to the door.

(AN: Yeah not much to say right now...that was basically the Summer/K.C. stuff...just um read the next chapter for the Seth/Beth stuff (I hate that rhyme! I don't know why I did it!)...hopefully some of you will like where this story is going. I'm setting up even more drama to ensue...but also getting rid of some of the drama that pisses me off too much to even continue writing it! Now that's just crazy too b/c I created the drama and I hate it so much that I just can't do it anymore...I guess I could never write for the real O.C. b/c I'd get pissed if I had to write all the storylines that they do. I can't handle it. haha)
