The Pieces Fit
"So, when do I get to meet your boyfriend?" Bailey asked, his words rolling casually off of his tongue. Summer shifted in her seat.
"Uh, soon. Its just we're gonna be pretty busy the next couple of weeks, with the wedding and…" Summer rambled.
"Its okay, when you are both free," Bailey said calmly. Summer pulled up outside Bailey's house in her sleek BMW.
They'd been for coffee which turned into lunch and it was the evening before either of them knew it.
"So, I'll call you tomorrow, if you aren't doing anything?" Bailey asked.
"Yeah, sure," Summer smiled politely.
"Listen Summer, I love that you've been keeping me company, its just since I went broke I lost all my friends, and now I've made a new one.
"Aww, you're sweet," Summer said giggling. Bailey smiled and got out of the car. He waved as she reversed her car out of the small place in front of the house.
As she disappeared from sight, Bailey smiled smugly and entered the apartment.
"Hey, where've you been?" Seth glanced up from his laptop as his girlfriend entered the
room.
"Oh, uh, I've been with Marissa," Summer lied casually removing her jacket.
"What have you been doing?"
"Oh, Anna and me have been hard at it trying to get the pre release copy up to scratch," Seth said, typing rapidly. Summer nodded.
She'd, barely, agreed to the whole comic-book-revival thing purely to show Seth that she trusted him. He was ecstatic and Summer was happy too, she knew how much the comic mean to him, still meant to him.
He'd given it up for her, even though it was his dream. The least she could do was let him revive it, he was starting to hate writing for the magazine.
Summer flopped onto the couch beside Seth. He closed the lid of his laptop and placed it on the coffee table. Summer rested her shoulder on Seth's shoulder.
"So, we haven't talked really since we got back from our trips, what did you get up to?" Seth asked, twirling a lock of Summer's ebony hair around his finger playfully.
"Oh actually you know that night when I got left alone, I met someone," Summer said quietly, she had to tell him and he wouldn't get jealous, she hoped.
"Oh, who?"
"Oh this guy Bailey, he's from England. He was at the bar and we got talking. I felt so bad for him, his company went belly up and he went broke, poor guy. He was on about moving to Newport actually…" Summer trailed off.
"Hey, glad you met someone new, I'd like to meet him, never really known a British guy," Seth said smiling.
"Really? I mean he called me today and he's living in the sleaze-ass apartment, I feel bad for the guy," Summer said quietly.
"I was thinking we could take him out for the night, well him and his girlfriend," Summer continued.
"Sure, when ever we have some free time," Seth agreed. Summer leant up and kissed him.
"For now, lets just have some alone time, huh?" Summer said, raising her eyebrows.
"Oh, good old Seth/Summer time," Seth grinned, kissing Summer. They got up and Seth chased Summer out of the room and upstairs.
"I've missed this." Seth thought.
"So this is the famous Seth Cohen?" Bailey reached forward and shook Seth's hand as
Summer smiled at the two.
"I've heard a lot about you," Bailey said, smiling at Summer. Seth's eyes widened.
"Oh, good. So where's your girlfriend?" Seth asked, looking around.
"Oh, uh," Bailey shifted uncomfortably.
"We had a huge fight, see she went back to England, long distance relationships are tough," Bailey shrugged as Summer rubbed his shoulder comfortingly.
"Okay, well buddy welcome to Newport. How bout the diner? You hungry?" Seth rubbed his stomach longingly looking at Summer.
"Okay, come on Cohen, lets feed you!" Summer laughed, linking his arm. Bailey followed from behind, watching the couple joke and laugh. They were just so perfect. Summer was head to toe in designer.
Her shoes alone would have cost at least $500. And Mr Newport, the guy who would inherit a town.
Bailey grinned, they were the perfect targets, he might as well have slapped at million dollar price tag on Summer's head.
"You ready man?" Seth smiled as Ryan climbed in Seth's car. They were on their way to the fitting for their tuxes.
"So did you meet this guy?" Ryan asked as they drove down the road.
"Yeah," Seth muttered. Ryan's eyes widened.
"And?"
"There's, you're gonna think I'm crazy but, there's something not right about him," Seth said, his eyes focused on the road.
"Why, what's off?" Ryan asked, looking confused.
"I dunno man but there's something definitely wrong."
"Okay," Ryan said slowly.
"Well, every time Summer spoke he like, stared at her, hanging on her every word. I just, he better not…" Seth's grip tightened on the wheel.
Ryan nodded slowly and turned to face the road, falling silent. Seth's eyes glimmered,
Ryan could tell that they were full of fear, he'd seen it before. When Ryan told Seth he was leaving because Theresa was pregnant and when Seth had to face Summer after running away.
Yep it was fear.
"It'll be okay buddy, anyway we've got enough to think about," Ryan said, his voice filling with nerves.
Seth smiled, seeing Ryan nervous was a weird thing.
"Hey Anna." Seth smiled and hugged his friend, letting her in.
"I thought that we could do some more work before the next few days of madness begin," Anna said entering Seth's house.
"Where's Summer?" Anna asked as she sat on the couch in the study, taking a large file out of her purse.
"I dunno, with Bailey," Seth muttered.
"Oh, what's this new friend like? You met him?"
"Yep, we went out last night. There's something not right though…" Seth trailed off as he turned on the P.C.
"Like what?" Anna asked.
"Well, Ryan thinks I'm crazy but he just has a vibe. He stares at Summer when ever she opens her mouth, like she's some sort of goddess and has an amazing disappearing girlfriend. Oh and he's broke, not something Summer usually finds attractive but he's got a whole sob story. He also has an English accent."
Seth took a deep breath and looked at Anna. She was thinking.
"You know what this reminds me of?"
"I don't know, a really bad plot in a weekly drama?" Seth said sarcastically.
"No! One word. Oliver." Seth dropped his pen and turned around slowly.
"Think about it. AWOL girlfriend, a sob storied past and he practically worships Summer." Anna looked at Seth comfortingly.
"I'm not saying that its true its just, keep a close eye on this Seth. For Summer's sake." Seth sat back in his chair, staring out of the window.
His ears roared and his chest pounded. All the pieces fit. No, it couldn't be…
