Summer awoke that morning feeling completely refreshed. She realized that she didn't need Seth any more, and that's when she felt someone's arms around her. The first person that came to her mind was Seth. Just as she turned around and was about to slap Seth silly, she looked down and saw that it wasn't Seth that was holding her, it was Ryan.

"Wow he's really sexy when he's sleeping," she thought. Wait did I just think that?

Then she realized that she might have a thing for Ryan Atwood. She decided to take a drastic move. She began to softly and passionately kiss Ryan on the lips. He started to stir and began to kiss back. Although he was sound asleep, he kissed with enough passion to make Summer think he was awake. Getting quite a kick out of this, she began to deepen the kiss and so did he. He started to mumble something and Summer stopped kissing him so she could hear him.

"Marissa, don't you get it? I don't want you........I want Summer........She's the one for me.......It's always been her since that day at Holly's beach party," stated the asleep Ryan.

He began to try and kiss Summer again. Only this time, she wasn't kissing him back so he was only kissing the air. Summer's mind was spinning with questions. Did he really feel that way about her? Did she really overlook his feelings for her all these months? Did he know how she felt about him? She began to kiss Ryan again. His crystal blue eyes opened and gazed into hers. She stopped kissing him.

He smiled and said," Well, that's the best way I've ever woken up."

Summer giggled and said," Sorry I couldn't help it, you were kissing me back."

"I was?" he asked.

"Yeah," she said," and you said things too.

"Nooooooo, what did I say?" he asked playfully.

"Well, you were talking to Marissa and you told her that you didn't want her anymore," she said.

"Well, at least I wasn't lying," he said with a smile.

"You said something else too," she stated.

"What was it?" he asked.

"Well you told Marissa that I was the one for you, and it's always been me, ever since Holly's beach party," she said nervously.

"I'm sooo sorry Summer. You probably think that I'm a total jerk. Yes, I do feel that way but I know that right now you need me to be your friend. I wasn't gonna tell you because I knew you were going through so much right now and I didn't want you to know that I thought of you as more than a friend," he shamefully stated.

"Well, you're right. I did need a friend but you know what? Right now I need you. I really like you I just never told you that," she said.

"Are you sure? Because its only been about twenty-four hours since you and Seth broke up," asked Ryan.

"Listen Ryan, I took your advice and I got over Seth. I realized that it wasn't my fault and that there was nothing I could do about it. We can start slow as friends if you want but I realized that Seth's not the one for me, you are," she said.

Ryan started to smile widely. "Is this really happening?" he asked.

"I think it already has," she replied.

Ryan pulled Summer's chin to him and began to passionately kiss her. When the were both out of breath Ryan whispered into her ear "Will you be my girlfriend?"

She responded by pulling his mouth back to hers and engulfing him with intense kisses. After about five minutes into the make out session, Ryan pulled away and asked," So, I'll take that as a yes?"
