Before Note –

I am SO sorry that it's been an eternity since I've updated. I started school 2 weeks ago, and as you get older, the more work there is. I'm in a couple advanced classes, and some of the teachers are obsessed with assigning homework, and speeches, and papers, and all this stuff that just piles on. I'm going to write a couple of chapters tonight, since I have a lot of free time, and my parents are going to be gone, so I won't have to be assigned chores, or have to help them do something. Also, since I have school all week, and do my homework after school, I pretty much fill up my weekends with hanging with friends, so there's pretty much 1 or 2 nights in a week where I can do OC stuff. None-the-less, I'm still a fan, and a writer. Here's your next chapter :D.

Chapter 16 - Uh Oh

Cohen and Summer headed for the master bedroom on his camper, and shut the door. Marissa was worried her mom would start to get suspicious about Ryan since they were left in there together, and walked out together. She brushed it off, and walked ahead of Ryan, making it seem like she didn't like him, and pretty much just associated with him, because Seth was her friend. Marissa walked up her camper, and Ryan followed. She looked back at him, and pretended to give him a dirty look.

She turned to her mom. "Uh. Mom. Summer and Seth took that room, and I want to watch a movie, and he's in here too." She scowled with utter fakeness, her mother couldn't see.

"Oh honey. Ryan is straightening up, he lives with the Cohen's now, and they're good people. You should give everyone a chance, in this case, you must." She softly patted Marissa's arm. "Just watch that movie you like, The Notebook, or whatever." Julie smiled with her perfectly white teeth, and spun around.

"Ugh." Marissa said with oomph. She was still trying to play off the 'Ew.' thing for Ryan.

She watched her mom walk down the Cohen's camper steps, and grabbed Ryan's hand.

"I'm so sorry Ryan, it's just, I love you so much, and if she found out, it would be . ."

He looked deep into her eyes. "I know, if I were you, I'd do the same thing." He half smiled, thinking about what he just said. "Well, if it was this situation." He kissed her.

They headed to the smaller bedroom to watch a movie, and made sure to keep the volume down. If any of the adults, especially Julie walked in and saw them holding hands, all hell would break loose.

Summer shut the door, and locked it. Seth was putting their things down in the corner of the room, and turned around, seeing her undress, with her back to him. There wasn't anything about her, including her personality that didn't attract him to her. They hadn't really known each other for that long, but they'd really fallen for each other. Summer was never the type to go and be all mushy, and say those three words, and give candy and flowers on Valentines, but she still felt stuff for Cohen. Summer was just undressing from her hoodie, sweats, and uggs, into her boy shorts, t-shirt, and socks, but Cohen sat there watching her.

"Whew. I'm not going to sweat now." She said turning around, breaking Seth's trance. "Cohen, you're a loser." She said patting him with flirtation, and trying to think of what to do now.

"It's cause you're so gorgeous." She said after 30 seconds of silence.

"Cohen you don't have to say that too me, because it doesn't..." He cut her off.

"Summer, if you don't think you're beautiful, you're insane. You're the most beautiful girl that I've ever seen, and I don't understand why you wouldn't want me to say that, especially since I think that." Seth finished, in one breath.

She looked up at him, with that look she gets when she can't resist something, or someone. "What?" He said confused but cute.

"You." She smiled big. "It's so weird that you'll say things like this, and act like it's a normal guy thing to do."

"What do you mean? It's not normal for a guy to tell the girl he likes a lot that she's gorgeous?" He was really confused.

"Well . ." Summer thought about it. "Not around here." She spat out.

He sat on the bed. "Hmm." He said. "Well it's unusual for me too." He said, being honest. "I just can't help but say it to you."

For some reason, she leaned up and kissed his cheek, she felt like times like these, it could be more meaningful to kiss someone's cheek, and be loving without a whole bunch of physical interaction. He kissed her nose, and her forehead and she wrapped her arms around his waist.

"I like this." She said. "Cuddling with you." She smiled big.

He kissed her head, and put his arm around her shoulder. He liked her too much to even explain it.

So this chapter is pretty short, but as you know from my "before note," i have a lot going on. So I'll ease into it. Thanks for the reviews!

Much Love.
