Chapter 6 - Almost.
Summer noticed that her and Cohen were now outside by themselves, and it was freezing, and 1:00 A.M. Seth pretty much just wanted to tell her that he liked her, because it was getting too hard for him to keep joking around with her, and feeling the flirting vibe coming from her too, and not knowing anything for sure. Maybe Summer was just a tease, but he liked her a lot, and he couldn't understand why. Summer felt a lot of the same emotions Seth was feeling. So, there both of them were, sitting on either side of the pool stairs thinking about the same thing, just the opposite person for 10 minutes.
"Wanna go inside? Its getting cold." Seth said after realizing Summer was probably wondering why he wasn't talking.
"Sure, but we got all my clothes wet, so I don't have anything to change into besides my bra and panties." Summer said sort of embarrassed at the last part.
Seth blushed, thinking of Summer's under clothes.
"Well I have some stuff that you could put on, that i have in the pool house for when me and Ryan sleep in there, you could probably just put on a pair of my boxers, and a shirt." Seth started to smile.
"Haha, wait, what? You and Ryan have sleep overs" Summer said getting out of the pool, not knowing Seth was watching every move she made.
"So adorable!" Summer said lightly pinching Seth's cheek.
It felt right when she touched him, and it felt the same for her.
"So, pool house, clothes?" Summer quickly said.
"Right, this way, come on."
Seth picked out a pair of boxers and a t-shirt for Summer to slip into. She went into the bathroom and changed, but the boxers were too big. Summer came out of the bathroom, where Seth was waiting for her, in her bra and panties and said "these won't stay up Cohen." Her bra and panties were scandalous compared to her swim-suit, and couldn't help but enjoy it.
"O-o-ok-oka-okay" Seth said sort of shaky.
"What's that matter Cohen? You get hypothermia or something?" Summer said feeling Seth's deathly cold arms.
"God Cohen, you're like ancient feeling!"
Summer dropped the boxers that were covering up her bottom half, or most of it and moved her hands up and down on his arms real fast to give home some heat. Seth was feeling like she probably didn't like him. Or maybe she just thought of him as a really good friend, he figured that she was comfortable to be around him without make-up, just like Marissa, and walk around in her under clothes, even tho he'd only seen Marissa in her bra, but it was a sports bra since she was mowing the lawn. So, he didn't think it was worth trying to get close to Summer romantically.
"I'm warmer thanks, Summer."
She gave him a quick smile, and grabbed the other pair of boxers and pulled them on, went and got the shirt, and pulled it over her. Seth still felt drawn to her, and Summer felt like it was a good time to kiss each other. Summer had only kissed a couple boys before, and then they tired unbuttoning her pants, or unfastening her bra, and she bailed. Seth had kissed girls before, but it was just at parties and he never really dated them. Summer jumped a couple times on Ryan's bed before grabbing a pillow and hitting Cohen on the side of his body.
"Oh, Oh okay. You think you got me huh?" Seth started flirting with Summer again.
"Oh, I don't think I do sweetie, I gotcha, in the bag, so lets go." Summer was sweetly doing some girl fighting.
Summer and Seth did the whole pillow fight thing until they got tired and went in to see what movie Marissa and Ryan were watching. Marissa was passed out on the floor, and Ryan was talking to Kayleigh on the phone in the living room. Seth sat down on the couch, and Summer sat down next to him. She had told her father that she was spending the night at Coop's, and neither Seth's or Marissa's parents cared if Marissa stayed over.
"I am so tired from swimming all night, and then pillow fighting with you Cohen. Too bad I won tho." Summer smirked flirtatiously.
"Uh huh, you can keep telling yourself little pumpkin pie, but I'm the real winner." Seth did the same thing.
Pretty soon they were watching Tommy Boy, and Summer fell asleep, while Seth stayed up laughing at the "Fat guy in a little coat" line for the 100th time. It didn't take Summer long to move around in her sleep, and Seth didn't even know she fell asleep. She pulled her legs up onto the couch, and went into a laying down position, on Seth's lap. He looked down when she finally got situated, and he kind of felt in place with her. Pretty soon he got tired so he moved her, and laid down on the other end of the couch. When he woke up at 4:30 in the morning, Summer was nuzzled up on his chest and she was sound asleep. He noticed how peaceful she looked in her sleep, and he put his arm around her waist, covered them up with a blanket, and went back to sleep. When he woke up, there was a sticky note placed on his arm saying 'Mom and Dad went to San Diego for their weekend trip, and me and Marissa went to hang with Kayleigh, talk to you guys later R&M.'
Summer was still sound asleep on Cohen's chest, and he now knew that they were home alone, and that they probably would be for a while. He had moved Summer the night before, because he knew that if she woke up laying on him, that she would think that he put her there or something. Therefore, it was hard for him to understand why he had woken up twice with her laying on him chest all entwined with him, almost perfectly. He looked at the clock above the TV to see that it was only 9:00 in the morning, and he still had about 2 hours of sleep left. He readjusted himself with Summer, he wanted to move her because she didn't think she'd wanna wake up with him, but he felt so right laying there, with her on his chest, and his arm around her. He added another blanket, and went back to sleep. This time Summer woke up. And she felt so warm and protected under that blanket with Cohen. She had placed herself on Cohen when she woke up in early hours of the morning, she was cold, and didn't know that the blankets were right behind her, and she wanted to cuddle with him anyways. She kissed his hand, and got up. She went and took a shower, and drove home.
"So, you and Seth looked mighty cozy on the couch this morning Summ." Marissa was on the phone.
"Yeah, well, I wanted to lay with him, so when I woke up, and I was cold, I did." Summer said trying not to smile.
"It was almost sickening how perfect you two look together laying there, dead asleep, just peaceful and serene, holding each other. Vomit." Coop said jokingly, but realistically at the same time.
"Hmm, he probably didn't move me because he didn't want to be rude and wake me up Coop, I'm sure that its not because he wanted me there or anything." Summer didn't think Seth had any feelings for her.
"I dunno, I don't know why he had would just be around your waist, he would have had to move out from underneath you, and pull it around you." Coop knew Seth liked her, Ryan had told her.
Summer smiled and got off the phone with Coop. She really liked Seth, and after sleeping with him all night on his couch, and feeling how it felt, she couldn't really deny her feelings anymore, to him. But she couldn't say them either.
"Dude, I just woke up at like 4 A.M. and she was all snuggled up against me." Seth was telling Ryan the story.
"Yeah, and you didn't move her because..." Ryan knew Seth well.
"Uh, I think we all know the answer to this one." Seth said.
"Yeah, you put your arm around her like you were a couple, put a blanket over you guys, and fell back asleep? Hm, I wonder what she was thinking when she woke up Seth." Ryan knew what she was thinking, him and Marissa talk.
"Probably, 'sick get away,' or something, sometimes girls will just move to anything they can cuddle against in their sleep." Seth was convinced that Summer didn't like him.
Seth picked up his cell phone.
"Summer, heyy."
"Hey Cohen, what's up?"
"Oh, nothing. I just wanted to tell you something." Seth was getting ready to tell her that he liked her.
"Yeah, well what is it Cohen? Best Week Ever is on, and I'm finding out some good gossip."
"Well, i just wanted to tell you, that I, um, I, uh.. well I, I'm gonna need my boxers back, those are my favorite pair. Just talk to you later. Bye."
Cohen hung up the phone fast, and Summer was getting the feeling that wasn't what he called for. Seth had almost told her, why didn't he just go through with it.
