Summary: Summer, scared at the intensity of her relationship with Seth, left him four years ago. Since then she's been all over Europe. Finally, four years later, she wants to return home to Seth. Funny when she does, he's engaged. Not like that's going to stop Summer.

This was bad. Summer's back was pressed against the cold tile wall of the shower, her legs were cramped from being hooked around Seth's waist, she couldn't breathe, and she extremely hot water was pouring on her.
The bad part was, she didn't care.
Seth was pretty sure this was not the intended use of the showers installed in their suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel, but he really didn't care. He pulled Summer a little closer to him, and felt her nails scraping his back for the second time that night. He listened to her and then to him and tried to ignore that she was the only girl he would ever want to do in a shower.
Molly paced around Kim's Seattle apartment, her cell phone glued to her ear. Her frown deepened as she heard Seth's voice mail pick up for the fourth time in twenty minutes. She sighed, and iced her tone to leave a message.
"Hello, darling." She said edgily into the machine. "I've been trying to reach you for some time. I assume you've gone to Los Angeles for your meeting, but I really can't understand why you are detained so late at night. Call me."
She hung up and forcefully slammed her phone onto Kim's kitchen counter. "Where the hell is he?" she muttered to herself. Kim was in the shower, thank god. This was a far too humiliating situation to let her friend witness.
It was obvious Seth was with that Summer girl. And Molly would find out. She picked up her phone again, this time calling the Cohen residence.
It was Ryan who picked up the phone. "Hello?" he said flatly, having seen Molly's name on the Caller ID.
"Hi Ryan!" she said cheerfully. "I had a quick question for Marissa about her dress. Is she there?"
Ryan wasn't stupid. "Hold on, let me check." Then he grabbed Marissa and pulled her into the kitchen, leaving the phone behind. "Molly. She wants you for a dress question, but she was being nice."
Marissa bit her lip. "Tell her I'm out with Summer."
Ryan headed back to the phone. "Sorry Molly, she and Summer went out to dinner. Girls thing. Should I have her call you?"
"Don't bother." Molly snapped in her usual tone, and hung up.
Ryan made faces at the phone. "She wanted to know where Summer is."
Marissa nodded. "I figured. We should call Seth and tell them that."
Ryan paused. "Why are we aiding Molly?"
Marissa shook her head. "Seth and Summer have issues Ry. They need to work through those before Molly freaks out and he has to chose."
Ryan looked at her appreciatively and lovingly. "I'm the lucky one." He said softly, kissing Marissa. She smiled.
"Yes, you are." She said, and kissed him again.
Several hours later, Seth and Summer were sprawled across the bed, him in boxers, her in boy shorts and a T-shirt, watching Law and Order re runs like they'd never broken up when Seth's phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey."
"Hey Ryan."
"Just letting you know, Molly called here, most likely checking on the whereabouts of Summer. I told her she was with Marissa. Not in LA with you."
"I owe you one."
"She called you. Several times. I'm sure you'll hear from her soon. What was, uh, keeping you?"
"You don't wanna know." Seth answered, with a grin.
"Probably not." Ryan said, hanging up the phone. Seth disconnected, then looked at his phone for a few seconds. He glanced over at Summer, then turned the thing on silent.
She glanced over at him, and he put his arm around her and pulled her closer to him.
She woke up the next morning with his arms still around her. She felt the smile spread across her face. She edged closer to him, and his arms pulled her in. She stretched her legs, thinking about all the sex.
She was still in a state of utter shock about the sex. She definitely hadn't expected that much, well, sex. She bit her lower lip thoughtfully. There was a glimmer of hope on the horizon, that much was sure. If he was that willing to cheat on Miss Molly....
Seth opened his eyes and saw Summer. His mind immediately took him on a crash course of pulling her shirt off on the balcony, tumbling with her onto the bed, and of course, the shower. He couldn't stop from grinning. She was fantastic.
He mentally slapped himself. Fiancée. The he looked over at Summer, who rolled over to face him, smiling.
"Hey."
"Morning sunshine." He said. She laughed a light laugh, one that made Seth smile.
"So, back to Newport?" she asked. Seth said nothing. All logic was telling him to go back, call Molly, get married, and never touch Summer again. Unfortunately, his feelings for her had a funny way of making him completely irrational.
"Nah." He told her. "Lets hang out here for another day or so."
Summer raised her eyebrows. "Really? Cause we can go back to the land of the rich and dysfunctional if you're not comfortable staying."
Seth smiled. "I think it'll be alright."
Summer swung out of bed, and without a word, headed into the bathroom, feeling his eyes watching her retreating, boy short clad butt. Score? Summer, 2, Molly, still 0.
She was feeling good about this.
