He'll Be Back
Chapter five
He sat in his pool in a blue chair sipping a coke. He laid back and look as though he were asleep. The sun was bright so when someone came out to the patio he kept his eyes shut. "Wake up, " He looked to the source of the noise but ended up looking directly into the sun instead.
"I think I just burnt out my retinas," Seth cried.
"Have you reapplied sun screen in the last hour?" Sandy asked concerned.
"Yes of course and I would like to tell you that SPF over 30 really is pointless. It doesn't add to the protectiveness."
"Seth, we've been over this. You're going to wear the goddamn 65 SPF. " Sandy said with a smile.
"Fine," Seth said as he rolled over into the water. His bright red back glaring at Sandy.
"Seth you're burnt! You never listen, you're going to give your self skin cancer." Sandy yelled as soon as Seth's head surfaced.
"I'm fine, " Seth, said as he shook his head and pulled himself out of the water. A large puddle formed around him. He walked to his towel on a chaise lounge and wrapped his lower half leaving his chest shining in the sun. Seth entered the house and Sandy followed, grabbing the paper off the table in front of the kitchen door. Seth walked into the kitchen oblivious to the fact he was leaving a trail of water. He opened the refrigerator and poked around for a snack. He pulled out some left over Chinese and began to eat it. "How old is this?" Seth asked his mouth full of food.
"Ehh…we haven't had Chinese since before you left."
"What?" Seth asked spitting the last bite into the sink. "This is three weeks old." He began to wash his mouth out and put dish soap on to his tongue. He then gargled warm water and emitted suds out of his mouth. Gagging he rinsed he mouth out again and again.
"That was stupid," Seth mumbled and opened the refrigerator get the taste of soap out of his mouth.
"So, have you gone and seen Summer?" Sandy asked from behind his paper oblivious to what had just happened.
Seth who was in the middle of chugging milk straight from the carton was so shocked that his father was even following the drama of his life spit milk half way across the room.
"We broke up," he offered lamely
"Seth you need to learn how to treat women better,"
"It's complicated…"
"No it's not you hurt her feelings and she is mad. You have to make it up to her," Sandy said folding the paper in half and walking out of the room. Seth leaned against the counter in deep thought.
"Did your father just give you relationship advice?" Ryan asked opening the refrigerator.
"Yeah, but you know it wasn't half bad." Seth said passing Ryan moving to the front door. "Hey man, have you seen the spare set of keys to the Range Rover?"
"They are no longer public property," Ryan yelled back. Seth walked back into the kitchen and stared.
"What are you talking about?"
"This," Ryan said dangling the keys in front of Seth.
"Hey dude, let me have those," Seth whined.
"Nope you aren't allowed to drive. You can take my bike," Ryan laughed.
"Come on bro I just need to run a quick errand." He begged.
He walked out of his house and placed his skateboard on the ground. He went down he drive way and easily maneuvered into the road and was soon down the block, his worn shoe pushing to maintain a good speed.
Once he reached the boardwalk he looked around for a flower shop. He arrived at her house an hour and a half later, covered in sweat and carrying flowers. He rolled right up to the front of her house and hopped off. He pressed one foot to the board and it tilted up. He grabbed it and leaned it against the wall adjacent to the large door. He shifted nervously and rang the bell. Seth heard movement on the other side and prepared himself to look adorable. He held the flowers out in front of him, and peeked through them as the door cracked.
"You?"
Seth handed over the flowers and Summer reflectively smelt them.
"Why are you so cute," she asked opening the door wider and stepping to the side. He shrugged and walked in. She grabbed his arm and raced up the stairs. Once in her room she shut the door behind them. She carelessly flung the flowers towards her desk. They landed on the floor but Summer hadn't even waited to see where they had landed. She was kissing Cohen.
He was shocked. There was so much desire and pent up frustrations that was coming through in this kiss. Her hands were in his hair and he felt himself being moved to the bed with out breaking the kiss. She stopped and took a breather, unbuttoning Seth's shirt and pulling hers over her head. She again kissed Cohen and went for his belt. She pulled it off and released his lips. Her hands were moving fast and she unbuttoned and unzipped his faded jeans quickly and in a well-practiced motion pulled his pants to his ankles and allowed him to shake them off his feet as he kicked off his shoes.
They laid back afterwards with their heads on the pillows.
"So, you still mad?" Cohen asked sheepishly.
"Yes," She said and tuned her back towards him.
"Because it sure didn't seem like you were mad when you were saying, 'God Cohen, yes Seth you are amazing'" Seth said imitating Summer's orgasm.
"Assface, I didn't say that," Summer said rolling over to face Seth. She moved up so that their faces were level and kissed him. She deepened the kiss, and Seth resisted.
"I'm confused," Seth stated pulling away. "Where does this leave us?"
