Summer let the scalding water run down her back. She had a lot to think about and this shower would definitely help. She knew two things for sure: one, she was totally over Seth, and two, she thought she was falling in love with Ryan. To tell the truth, she had been having these feelings for quite some time now. She just simply ignored them before.
Summer took another ten minutes to finish her shower and put on a pair of faded jeans and a designer shirt. Then she went down stairs to see what Ryan was doing in the kitchen. As she came down the stairs and the table came into view, she saw a home cooked breakfast sitting before her.
When Ryan saw her coming down the stairs his breath caught up in his chest. Wow. In the most simple she was wearing, her beauty took his breath away. He had to hold onto the counter to hold himself up from falling on the floor. He managed to regain his composure before she saw him.
"Morning," he said, "Feel better?"
She came up behind him and wrapped her arms around him. "Much," she replied.
Ryan's next action surprised Summer. He took her arms from around him and said," We need to talk,"
He sat her down at the table and pulled out the chair beside her for himself.
"I really like you," he started as he took her hand in his," I have for a really long time. But I don't know if I can put my heart out again. I mean you and Seth just broke up and I don't know if I can afford the risk of getting my heart slaughtered again."
Summer saw a single tear run down the side of his cheek and she felt her own eyes begin to get watery.
"Ryan, I know Seth and I just broke up, but I'm totally over him. I've had feelings for you for about a month now. I know I told Seth that I loved him, but that was just a desperate attempt by me to try and save our relationship because I knew it was going down the drain. I knew that once him and Anna started hanging out again, it was only a matter of time before we broke up, so my feelings for him started to disappear. You've been there for me all those times and I've always had feelings for you, I just never made them known. But last night when you were telling me how it was going to be okay, I realized that Seth isn't the one for me, you are."
"I'm glad to know you have feelings for me like I have for you, but don't you think it's too soon?" he asked.
"Trust me Ryan. I know it's not too soon. These last few weeks you've been there for me so many times. When Anna would come over with Seth, you made sure to focus all of your attention on me so I wouldn't be hurt," she started," I want nothing to do with Seth. You're the most perfect guy in the world and now that I know you have feelings for me too, I am positive it's not too soon."
"Wow, I never knew you felt that strong about me. I'm 100% all for this relationship between you and me as long as you're sure this is what you want. Because I just want you to be happy," he said.
"I'm sure," she said with a smile.
Ryan picked Summer up and cradled her in his arms.
"Do you want to go on our first date tonight?" he asked.
"Why Mr. Atwood, I would be thrilled," she replied.
"Great. I have to go to the Cohen's to get some clothes, do you want to come? You don't have to if you don't want to, because Seth is probably going to be there," he said.
"No, I'll go. I'll have to face him sooner or later. At least I'll have my boyfriend with me," she replied.
They got into Summer's pink Ferrari and drove to the Cohen's gigantic mansion.
