"If you could have one thing done to you right now……. What would it be?"

"Ummm," Seth Cohen moaned as the hot blonde, who's name he couldn't remember at that particular moment rubbed her warm hand up and down his thigh, " Just keep doin' what your doin."

---------- 2 MONTHS EARLIER

Summer Roberts breathed in the scent of her boyfriend as they cuddled within the cotton sheets of his bed. This was it…the conclusion of the summer which only left one thing, the all too feared discussion of what would happen in 2 days when she left for Texas A&M and he remained in Cali at UCLA.

"It's not like it's that far away," she pointed out, making a weak rebuttal to his frustration of the concept of the 'long distance relationship', "I mean come on what is it like a 4 hour car ride?"

"The fact that you got into university still remains a mystery to me," Seth joked half heartedly, " it's more like 10 hours…..I think, but any way it doesn't matter it's still not the same as getting to see you everyday.

"Ok well maybe were not thinking very realistically here but……… I love you, and despite what everyone says I think we can still manage an exclusively relationship even in separate states."

This conversation had been put off all summer; the mantra was a fun summer and deal with all the break up anxiety at the last minute. The couple was now realizing that pushing aside this issue may not have been a very good idea. But after much deliberation they had decided that it was no secret that they both wanted to continue their relationship…but at they same time they had that growing curiosity to pursue the true 'college' experience…parties, hook ups, new friends.

So the decision was ...well complicated. They were together. If some one asked if they were in a relationship they would comply that they were…but at the same time they were open to other options. If one happened to be at a party where a member of the opposite sex expressed a mutual interest, then there was nothing stopping them from experiment with someone new.

Hey could u blame people who had been together on and off for 3 years for wanting to be a little curious? But when it came down to their relationship…they knew nothing or no one could come between what they had together, what they had built over the years, so come holidays and summer break they would just enjoy that time together and not speak of any late night trysts with dorm mates ….seemed pretty easy in theory. But the emotional strain, joy and complication that was on its way was unforeseen….who knows what would happen?

-----------PRESENT DAY, UCLA

"Just keep doin' what your doin." The words repeated in his mind as he shook his head……ok so this wasn't exactly against the rules, but hey the Cohen conscience or lack thereof was starting to kick in.

" Um actually on um second um...thought I have ummm," he mumbled wildly as am excuse accumulated in his mind, " I've just got like this huge umm midterm paper I just remembered was due tomorrow so umm yea, better finish that up!"

The words not-so-convincingly come out of his mouth as the blonde eyed him crookedly.

"Ok then I guess I will…be going…" was her puzzled response as she gathered her clothes and made her way towards the door.

A/N – ok so I've been reading and reviewing fanfic for a while and I recently decided to try my hand at writing……I just came up with this one night while I couldn't sleep. It would help me out a lot if you gave me some of your thoughts….don't be afraid of negative reviewing! I love a little constructive criticism ….it can only make me a better writer!

p.s. next chapter will be longer and more in-depth, this is just a starter.
