Beach Anyone?
Ryan stood quietly, waiting at Marissa's front door. The sound of thumping footsteps, made him jump, and take a step back.
"I'LL GET IT!"
"DON'T YOU DARE…THIS IS MY HOUSE!"
"SHUT UP COOP…I WILL GET IT."
Ryan couldn't help but laugh. So typical of his friends. The door was opened by Marissa, who looked like she had been through a tornado. It was obvious there had been some struggling, as Seth lay on the steps, holding his head, with Summer on top of him, brushing his hair out of his eyes, whispering sympathy. Seth of course, was playing it up, faking the hurt boo boo face.
"You are all a bunch of idiots. You do know that don't you?" Ryan chuckled as he walked inside, giving Marissa quick kiss, and brushing her hair out of her face. Her cheeks were pink, and she was breathing hard. "Run hard Ris?"
"You have no idea what it's like trying to beat these two. Seth has the boniest arms I've ever seen. And he is especially good at getting the right placement in my ribs. And HER…I don't know where she learned how to pull hair like that."
Ryan laughed, as Summer turned her attention to Marissa, and scowled.
"Um excuuuse me, but I was going to die if I had to hear Cohen make sarcastic remarks about my…extreme boredom…took you long enough Chino."
"Well, I didn't know you were all on the brink of death. If I had known that, I would have run all the way here."
"Where were you anyway?" Seth finally vocalized
"In the poolhouse."
"You mean I carried HER all the way over here, when I could have just carried her out the back door? You have got to be kidding me…" he muttered.
"COHEN! Honestly, am I that heavy? God." Summer yelled, slapping his arm.
"Well we're bored. That's why we called you over here." Marissa butted in, trying to stop the bickering.
"You think I would come up with something? Um…well…we could go to the beach?" Ryan started.
"Oh…brilliant! The beach! Did you hear that Summer? It was right outside our door this whole time. It only took Ryan to figure it out…" Seth voiced in amazement.
"Yeah I heard him Cohen. Let's go. I'm just so bored…I could…I could…I could DIE."
"Yeah so we've heard," Seth muttered, as he pulled her off the steps, heading for the door.
"Shut up Cohen."

The beach was busy. Blanket upon blanket lined the sand, and the umbrellas created a patterned sky. There was barely room to walk. Ryan, Marissa, Seth and Summer headed to a secluded part of the beach.
"Hey, what's that white tent doing there?" Marissa asked pointing.
The faint sound of music met the foursome's ears. They walked closer in suspense.
"Ooooh…it's a salsa band! How cuute!" Summer squealed.
In fact it was a salsa band, with a small group of people surrounding the tent. Some were swaying to the music, and some were dancing. They were all older, no kids were to be seen, except the four of them. Coming up to the tent, they watched the small band play a long up beat song, that had people bopping to the rhythm.
"I wonder why they're all the way down here?" Ryan asked Seth.
Seth shrugged.
The music ended, and the small audience clapped, the four of them joining in. Then the band started a slow, haunting melody, slow and sad.
Seth leaned down close to Summer's ear. "Do you wanna dance?"
She looked up in surprise. "Are you serious?" a small smile playing her lips.
"What do you think?"
She studied his face, and he certainly did look serious. "Well…alright!" she giggled.
He took her hand, and wrapped his arm around her back. She placed her hand on the back of his neck, and pulled herself in close to his body, resting her head on his shoulder. She breathed in his clean smell, and kissed his cheek. She felt him shiver. Or maybe that was her.

"We look like idiots don't we?" Summer murmured into Seth's neck.
She felt him laugh, and whispered into her ear, "Well…Ryan and Marissa are looking at us like we're crazy. But other than that, we're getting looks of ' aww how cute'" he replied.
Summer giggled. She didn't care. She didn't care if she looked stupid, or if she was attracting attention. All she cared about was being as close to Seth as she could.
Seth pulled her closer, if that was even possible, and hugged her tight. Suddenly, he pulled her chin toward his face, until they were inches away. They stood just breathing for a minute. Seth didn't know what he would do without her. And she thought the same thing. And it was Summer, who finally pressed her lips to his. By this time, they weren't moving, just standing with their arms around each other, slowly kissing. It wasn't a hot, passionate kiss, but a sweet, long one.
Her hands went to his mess of curls. She thought of all the times she had done this. Too many to count. And she wasn't sick of it. She never would be. Suddenly, they both stopped, and started to giggle, their mouths still touching. The music had stopped, but the people around them were still clapping. They broke apart, looking confused. Everyone was looking at them, smiles stretching across their faces, and Ryan and Marissa were blushing, trying to inch their way away from the two, but also smiling.
Summer started to smile. She looked into Seth's eyes. "I love you Cohen."
"I love you too." He responded, laughing.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Alright you two…"Ryan whispered, "Let's go…"
Seth finally broke the eye contact between the two of them, and grabbed Summers hand, pulling her away from the crowd. Ryan and Marissa were running ahead of them, dying of laughter.
"That was so embarrassing!" Summer yelled as they started to run, clasping Seth's hand.
"Are you kidding me? That was the most romantic thing I've ever done!" he yelled back, pushing Summer into the shallow water.
She splashed him, giggling. "You're so cheesy Cohen!"
"And you love it." He said, getting serious. He picked her up, whirling her around and around in the shallow ocean.
Then he stopped. And Summer was dizzy, but not from the spinning. She was falling into Seth's eyes, and she couldn't help herself. She just kissed him. One long passionate kiss, and their bodies couldn't have been closer.
"I love you so much," Summer murmured out of breath.
Seth just smiled, and said, "You know I love you too."
And she did. That was all she needed to know.
