He'll Be Back
Chapter twelve
Seth woke up the next morning spooning with Summer. He dipped his head in to the crook of her neck and softly kissed her. She moaned and pushed her back into Seth. He placed kisses further up her neck and gently sucked on her ear lobe.
"Seth?" Summer asked swallowing hard and trying to catch her breath.
"I'm curious who else would it be?" Seth asked into her ear with a smile.
In response Summer rolled over to face him. Her hands pulled his chin to her mouth and she kissed him and released. "Ew Seth, morning breath."
Summer threw the sheets over her head. "Sorry princess, I don't recall telling you that you tasted like candy yourself," Seth said offended, "Hey where are you going?" he asked as she slid down the bed until her knees were touching his toes.
"Shut up loud mouth," Summer said.
"No really what are you doing under there?" Seth asked trying to pull the blanket up to see. Summer finally answered his question and Seth slowly let out a strained whine as he dropped the blanket. "Oh…Oh… that's what you're doing down there," he said with a lopsided grin.
When Summer had finished and Seth had caught his breath she looked at him with big eyes. "What do you want now?"
"Nothing Cohen,"
"Sure, come on what is it? … Breakfast with your father?" Seth asked suddenly terrified.
"No, he is already at work." Seth visibly relaxed. "I am going to go shopping with Coop."
Summer looked at Seth to gauge his reaction to the news of separation. He smiled "Well, it's not like were joined at the hip! Actually, maybe technically we sometimes are." He earned a punch from Summer. "No really, this is good I need to go home and clean myself," he said rubbing his stubbly chin.
"You, sure that you're okay?" Summer asked dropping Seth off at his house.
"Yeah," he said waving as she back down the driveway. He turned and walked into his house. He walked to the kitchen and walked right out at the sight of his parents kissing, his mom sitting on the island. He cleared his throat and entered once he heard his mom hop down.
Kirsten was red and Sandy looked mildly guilty. "So next time you plan on fornicating on surfaces that my food touches would you let me know, I want to sanitize the counters with bleach."
"We weren't screwing on the counters" Kirsten said calmly.
"Not that we haven't before," Sandy added. He was swiftly hit and his rubbed the back of his head.
"Great," Seth said holding a box of cereal, "Make me lose my appetite again." He said slamming the box down.
"How was you're evening?" Kirsten asked sipping from a large mug of coffee.
" I spent some of it in enormous pain, the rest of it I was high as a kite."
"Seth," Kirsten and Sandy yelled.
"It was just a mistake that Summer made in prescribing painkillers," Seth said escaping up the stairs. Sandy looked at Kirsten and shook his head. He then walked over and sat her back up on the counter.
Summer knocked on the oversized door, though it was unnecessary seeing as the camera and intercom on the gate at the bottom of the driveway had alerted those inside of her arrival. Julie pulled the door back and welcomed Summer in. They shared an embrace that left Summer uncomfortable and Julie satisfied with her parenting skills. "She'll be down in a minute," Julie said as the phone rang in some distant room in the house, "make yourself at home, I have to go get this." Julie left the entry and Summer stood looking at the expensive oil painting that track lighting illuminated.
"Hey you," Marissa said as she walked down the stairs.
"Coop, let's go," Summer said pointing to the door.
"You couldn't get out of there fast enough," Marissa laughed putting on her seat belt, "Imagine living there."
"I would get lost." Summer started the car and pulled down the drive way. The gate opened as she drove up to it allowing the car through.
"How was last night?" Summer asked pushing hangers methodically to the side in the search for the perfect top.
"It was nice" Marissa blushed a violent red.
"Sex?" Summer said looking in the mirror holding a shirt to her chest.
"No, we're taking it slow. Unlike you and Seth who have been at it like jack rabbits" Marissa said a little loudly. A saleswoman glared at them.
"Not last night," Summer said holding the shirt with her elbow and returning to the rack. "I drugged him, by accident."
"Is he okay?"
"Yeah his sunburn was really bad, but I gave him too many pills."
"Serves you right, not to get laid you could have killed him."
"I killed his sex drive," Summer laughed.
"I love this skirt," Marissa said showing Summer a small jade piece.
"It's nice, you should try it on."
"I'm just going to buy it," Marissa said looking in her wallet. "I'll use Caleb's card."
"Wow, could you be any more spoiled?"
"Shut up, you've done it too. In fact you taught me to never try things on when you have your period. It makes you feel fat."
"Yeah, I did come up with that one," Summer smiled walking to the fitting room.
"You must be braking a lot of your rules."
"Huh?" Summer asked turning around.
"You not only are trying clothes on but you're having sex. " Marissa said looking at a shirt on a mannequin. Summer slipped into to changing room and Marissa continued to browse.
"Let's go," Summer said dejected holding a few articles that had made the cut.
The girls paid with their cards and added the bags to the growing number.
"It is either time to eat or time to leave." Marissa said indicating the weight of her load.
"Let's do both, " Summer said pulling her keys from her Fendi purse.
They stopped at the Crab Shack and got seated at a booth and ordered. "Marissa, I didn't break any of my rules."
"What? Yes you did!" Marissa teased, "You told me sophomore year, that having sex during your period is gross and unnecessary."
"No, I mean I said that but, I don't have my period,"
"Oh… why are we on different schedules?" Marissa asked as the food was set down. Summer popped a fry in her mouth. She took her time swallowing.
"Coop, I don't think we are."
"Well I am regular like clock work but you've been known to be screwy."
"No you're not getting it," Summer shook her head in frustration, " I am late."
Marissa dropped her hamburger and stared at Summer.
