He'll Be Back
Chapter Nine
Seth went to the door opened it, Summer walked into his room. She dropped her purse and a beach bag and kissed him hard. They moved to his bed deepening the kiss. "Whoa, my parents," Seth said breaking the kiss off. He stood up and took off down the hall. He knocked timidly on the door to their room. He swallowed what seemed like his heart.
"Come in" he heard his mother call.
He cracked the door and saw his parents wearing reading glasses and reading books next to each other on their bed.
"Son, what's wrong?" Sandy asked, looking at him over his glasses.
Seth swallowed again feeling nauseous. He stood at the foot of their bed uncomfortably shifting his gaze from the ceiling to the floor.
"Seth you're uncharacteristically quite" Sandy said closing and putting down his book.
"I don't want to let you win."
"Huh?" Kirsten asked not following.
"If I tell you then, you'll come to expect it,"
"Expect what?" she asked putting her bookmark in place and closing her book as well.
"I feel that because of what happened today…" Seth said finishing his sentence with elaborate arm motions.
Sandy looked like he was thoroughly enjoying himself, watching Seth squirm.
"I just wanted to let you know…" Seth gulped audibly " I just thought that you should know that Summer is back over." He parents looked at him shocked.
"Seth that took a lot of courage," Sandy told him proudly.
"Seth, honey would you mind moving the bed away from the wall, the paint is getting ruined." Kirsten requested.
"Seth use a condom," Sandy called at his retreating back. Sandy then turned to his wife and kissed her gently. "Well I guess we're going to have to get bagels for five in the morning." Kirsten playfully pushed his and he used the opportunity to take off his glasses and shut the lamp on his side. He then wagged his eyebrows seductively at her. She laughed and shut her light, mumbling into Sandy's lips.
Seth had bound from their room and shut and locked the door behind him as he entered his room. Summer sat on his bed looking at a book. She didn't even look up when he sat on the bed.
"Cohen, you were so cute," Summer gushed.
"I am naked in that picture,"
"I know look at your tiny teeny little penis,"
"Pedophile!"
"Cohen what is this picture of?" Summer asked flipping further on.
"Umm… I think we're done here. "
"No what is it?"
"My bris"
"Your what?"
"Circumcision," Seth said looking ready to die.
"Oh…Oh…OH,"
"God, I hate when my mother pulls this thing out."
"Why because I'll be able to see how much cuter you were before puberty?"
"That's a factor," Seth said leaning over and closing the leather album. He stood up and placed it back in an empty spot on the book shelf.
"You know that you probably going to be horrible to your kids."
"I know, but I deserve to torture my children. I have had to put up with the most embarrassing parents ever. My dad definitely does it on purpose."
"Well at least your dad is around."
"Oh I see we're going to pull the lonely spoiled daughter card,"
"Cohen, you ass, I really hate that he is gone so much,"
"I don't the man loathes me."
"Seth he doesn't hate you, at home we just pretend that you don't exist.
"I don't see how that translates into not hating me,"
"It does trust me." Summer said pulling Seth by the arm to the bed, "Now where were we before your parents interrupted?" she asked kissing him softly. He cringed but relaxed into the kiss, bring his hand to her face.
"I locked the door this time, aren't you proud,"
"You dumb ass," Summer said playfully hitting his arm. Seth got up took off his t-shirt and shut the light.
Seth woke up to a strange sensation. He felt his shoulders and brown silky locks rested there. He was confused and then saw Summer's olive arms encircling his chest. He turned on to his back and Summer instinctively cuddled closer sliding her head onto Seth's bare stomach. He lay there looking at her face smiling until he drifted back to sleep for another hour or so.
Summer sat up. She was still in Cohen's room. She saw him dozing off and kissed his neck gingerly. He opened his eyes briefly before batting her away and mumbling, " No the octopus has the right of way in the intersection," She smiled as stood up to find her clothing from last night. Once she was sure that she had found most of it she grabbed her bathing suit out of her beach bag and put it on looking at herself in the mirror. She could see Seth sleep in the background and found herself watching his chest rise and fall. She reached into her bag and found a yellow tank top and a blue ruffled skirt that fell mid thigh. She pulled her hair into a pony tail and put sun glasses on her head as an insurance policy for avoiding getting pulled back into bed. She then went and shook Cohen.
"Hey, what's your problem I am trying to sleep here?" He said in an angry sleepy voice.
"Come on we have to leave for the beach,"
"It isn't even ten," He said rolling onto his stomach to look at his clock.
"Prime tanning hours are noon to four,"
"You are going to become a wrinkling old bag,"
"That isn't a nice thing to say, besides my dad will see to it that I get a lift if that becomes the case."
"I want to sleep," Seth whined pulling a pillow over his head.
"Come on pasty boy," she said pulling the sheet off the bed leaving Seth's white butt exposed, "Ryan and Marissa are coming too,"
"Why didn't you tell me that sooner?" Seth asked walking down the stairs into the kitchen.
"It didn't occurred to me that it would be that big of a drive for you," Summer said annoyed.
"Summer, when did you get here?" Marissa asked sitting at the table with a glass of orange juice while Ryan was making eggs.
"I…um…"
"She slept here," Sandy yelled across the house appearing moments later in a wet suit carrying bagels. Seth looked at Marissa, who had swallowed her juice down the wrong pipe and was chocking. Summer walked over and whacked her on the back a couple of times.
"Sandy thanks for the food," Summer said breaking the awkward silence that had developed once Marissa's coughing has ceased.
