Chapter 7 - The Shin-Dig
Summer and Marissa headed home. Summer actually went to her house though, and she took her extra time getting ready. She took a 45 minute shower, and spent 30 minutes just doing her make up. She put her hair up into wave curlers, and kept them up for 30 minutes, just to make sure the curl would stay a little longer. She while her hair was curling, she decided to try and figure out what dress to wear.
"Too many choices, just too many choices." She smirked to herself.
She sorted through blues and greens, reds and pinks, assorted colors. She came across this white dress that wasn't much longer then her black dress she wore the first night she met Seth. It was all white, and it had white frills, with a rhinestone diamond in the middle, it was perfect. She picked out some Louis Vuitton white shoes that had a little bow on the top of them, with a high 6 or 7 inch heel, and started un-doing her hair.
"Cohen, you thought you liked my bikini!" She smiled at herself in the mirror.
She got dressed, and paced her room for a few minutes. Her doorbell rang, and she headed down the stairs.
"Summer." Seth said like a gentleman, extending his hand.
"Cohen." She accepted his hand, and stepped out the door.
"You look really pretty." He said like an 11 year old would have.
"Aw. Well thank you! You look quite hott yourself tonight." She said.
"Well, you know. I try my hardest, just to impress the community." He winked.
They had a fun friendship. They joked around.
Marissa spent just about the same amount of time getting ready as Summer did. Unfortunately, she couldn't be picked up by her boyfriend, she knew she wouldn't risk being with Ryan just to have him pick her up for dates. She wore a Marc Jacobs dress. It was red, and it was also a little frilly. Very small and tiny, it fit her. She loved it. She wore some silver flats, and put her hair half up, and half down. She felt pretty satisfied with her make-up sitatuation, and left her family to go over to the Cohen's.
"Hey Ryan." She surprised him.
"Wow. You look, WOW." He said, getting a kiss from her.
"I tried to pick something nice, to impress the community." She smirked to him.
He looked at her with a cute face. Whew, was she crazy about him. They touched, and butterflies escaped from her stomach, through her entire body.

Seth and Summer walked up the drive-way. He put his arm out, so that she could grasp on to it, she was his date.
"This should be, just, full of fun." Seth said breaking the silence.
"Oh, yeah, Cohen. You have no idea, these charity functions are like, totally bangin'!"
She smiled up at him, God he was hott. Just beautiful.
"This should definatly be fun." She thought to herself.
Walking into Seth's back yard, they saw the entire community drinking, and having a good time. Most of these people were around between 35 and 40, and all the women looked 27 or 28. The men looked their age though. Seth walked Summer over to get some sprite, that's all they could really drink with all the adults around.
"So, what now?" Summer asked.
"I need to go to the bathroom." Seth said, excusing himself from Summer.
This party was so boring. Marissa and Ryan had left the pool house and had pretended not to know each other at the party, knowing they had to make an apperance.
"Here with Seth?" Marissa came up from behind, and asked.
"Whoa, Coop! You scared me. Yup, I'm here with Cohen." She stopped and smiled. "He's going to the bathroom." He'd left 10 minutes ago.
"I think I'm gonna go find Ryan, and we're gonna go down to the beach. You should go get Seth and come down there. See ya hun." She kissed Summer on the cheek, and headed for the beach.
Summer decided to head upstairs to look for Cohen. He'd been gone for almost 15 minutes, and she knew it took boys longer to go pee then it took girls, but still, he couldn't be taking this long. She checked the bathroom, and there was no one in it. She knocked on his bedroom door.
"Cohen?" She opened up the door. "You in here?"
"Summer." He said.
"How come you're in here?" She asked. "You invited me to this party, and you like, just sit up here?" She sounded sort of hurt.
"Well, I figured you'd come find me or something." He looked up at her.
She looked back down at him quizzically. "Uh. Okay?"
"Sorry." He looked deep into her eyes. "I'm Sorry."
"It's cool Cohen, let's go to the beach and hang with Marissa and Ryan." She put her hand up to help him up.
"Wait." He said holding onto her hand.
"For . . .?"
He leaned down and kissed her, for about 20 seconds. He pulled away.
"Let's go." He said normally, wiping Summer's gloss off his lips.
She stood there, sort of dumbfounded, for the first time in her entire life.
