Author's note: Okay so I recently got inspired to work on this story again. So I did this chapter but really it's just a filler chapter to set the stage for the next chapter. I do hope that you like it a little bit. As per usual a review is nice, tell me if I should or shouldn't bother to keep writing it. Thanks for reading!

"Hey Summer," Ryan greeted his girlfriends best friend, as he opened the door to Marissa and his hotel room for her. They were in Saint Tropez, a tropical playground for the rich, famous and powerful on the French Riviera. They had arrived late last night, and even though he felt exhausted Summer looked as though she had just had ten cups of coffee.

"Hi Ry," she greeted kissing his cheek as she walked into the huge suite. Her room was the same, only slightly smaller since she was only one person in the room. Marissa was sitting in her pajamas- pink flannel pants and a matching tank top-on one of the couches drinking coffee. "Hey Coop," Summer said flopping down next to her friend.

"Hey Sum, how's your room?"

"Fine. It's kind of lonely though," Summer pouted and Marissa burst out laughing "What?"

"You have your own apartment, but you find your own hotel room lonely?"

"Yes, do you have a problem with that?" Summer asked raising an eyebrow

"Of course not, Summer, of course not," Ryan said sitting in the chair across from them.

"You look tired Ry-Ry, do you ever sleep?" Summer asked using the nickname that she had given him- the one she only used to annoy him since he despised it

"Nope, I'm always awake," Ryan rolled his eyes at her. "And stop calling me Ry-Ry,"

"Never," Summer said sticking out her tongue at him "Not until the day I die,"

"Wow. Something to look forward too," Ryan said seconds before a pillow hit him square in the face. Hard. Because Summer threw hard for a girl and it hurt. Not that he would ever admit that of course.

"When are Chloe and Seth arriving?" Marissa asked before taking a huge sip of her coffee. Seth and Chloe, as well as Chloe's on again/ off again boyfriend-Ben- and her little sister Ashley, were arriving today, because at the last minute Seth and Chloe had to go do some PR stuff in L.A.

"They should be here in a few hours," Ryan said checking his watch "In the meantime, what do you guys want to do?"

"The beach," they said simultaneously before bursting out laughing "Jinx!" Summer cried and Marissa smacked her. Ryan watched the two of them in amusement, over the years Summer had become like a little sister to him (a annoying one mind you, but a little sister nonetheless) and it still amazed him how childish the two of them could act together. Okay so it wasn't exactly like he was always the grown up but still he liked to believe he was more mature than that.

"Okay…the beach it is," Ryan said getting up "I'm going to shower and get ready,"

"Your showering before the beach?" Summer looked at him like he was stupid

"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" Ryan asked in confusion as Marissa burst out in laughed

"You owe me a soda Coop, because you talked. Anyways why would you shower, you just have to get in another one when we get back. So just go put on a bathing suit and lets go. I'll meet you guys on the beach. Love you," Summer said all in one breath before she bounced (quite literally) out of the room.

"She exhausts me," Ryan mumbled as he walked towards the bedroom part of the suite.

"What are you like a thousand?" Marissa said giggling as she flopped down on the bed.

"Yes, I'm a million and one years old," Ryan laughed flopping down next to her. He intertwined his hand with hers and kissed her fingers. "I love you,"

"I love you too," she said with a wink before pulling away "But I have to get changed, before Sum has a fit because we're missing valuable tanning hours. For someone from New York she sure knows a lot about tanning hours," Marissa said as she got undressed.

Ryan grinned as he watched her move around the room searching for stuff, totally naked. Her body was so incredibly perfect, it was like amazing. She never failed to amaze him.

Marissa pulled on a tiny black bikini that was spotted with large white polka dots. She pulled her hair back into a pony tail and slipped on her flip flops. Perfect, she was finished. She turned around to find out if Ryan was ready only to see him laying on the bed, a small smile on his face as he lay fast asleep. He had been joking when he told Summer he never slept, but part of that was true. Marissa kissed his lips softly, left him a note that said she had left for the beach, and pulling on a jean mini skirt and a tee shirt, tiptoed out of the hotel room, closing the door softly behind her.

The beach was amazing, all gorgeous water and sand for as far as you could see. Summer was sitting on the almost empty beach drinking coffee and looking content as she stared out at the ocean.

"Hey Sum," Marissa said plopping down next to her

"Hi Coop, where's Ryan?"

"He fell asleep,"

"Your kidding,"

"No,"

"Oh, sorry," Summer stuck out her lower lip causing Marissa to roll her eyes. Marissa stripped down to her bikini and Summer did the same. "Perfect tanning hours" Summer cried gleefully as she lay down.

Marissa was in a state of total bliss, she was laying down on a warm beach towel, the sun rays beating down and warming her body, a cold glass of lemonade next to her and her I-pod in her ears. She was almost asleep in fact when she saw Ryan come running down the beach. He was wearing jeans, but no shirt, and he had one sandal on and was carrying the other one as he hobbled (ungracefully) towards them.

"Marissa!" he cried yelling "We have to go, we have to pick up…" he trailed off realizing the reaction that could happen if he said Seth's name out loud "my brother. We have to pick up my brother, now!"

"What?" Marissa asked taking out a headphone and blinking up at him, as she took off her sunglasses and adjusted them on top of her head.

"We have to pick up…" he lowered his voice "Seth,"

"Oh, okay. Have fun," Marissa said lowering her sunglasses again

"Your not coming?" Ryan looked defeated somehow as Marissa shrugged

"No thanks, babe, the suns perfect," Marissa said pouting slightly. Ryan gave in, he couldn't stay mad at her

"Fine. I'll be back soon," he said leaning down and kissing her lips softly. She grinned into the kiss.

"Love you," she called after him as he jogged back towards the hotel. He held up his hand in a wave, partly though to show that he'd heard her.

"Your boyfriend is such a freak," Summer mumbled not opening her eyes or lifting her head off the towel.

"Thanks,"

"No problem," Summer mumbles as she feels herself start to drift to sleep.

Later she's woken up by the feel of wet sand hitting her back. She blinks in surprise when she finds herself on the beach, she was dreaming she was home. There was a face in her dream- someone she was with- but now she can't remember. All she can see is that in front of her is a person, but she can't tell who.

"Hey Sum," the person sinks down next to her and she can see it's Seth. Or at least she thinks its Seth. The person is wearing huge aviator sunglasses and a New York Yankees baseball cap, even though he's told her on multiple occasions that he doesn't even like baseball.

The two of them became fast friends during the three weeks that he spent in New York. Everyone had been busy most of the time (aka. Ryan and Marissa wanted alone time all the time) and Seth really had very few friends in the city, especially with Chloe in Boston visiting her family.

"Hi Cohen," Summer said sitting up and brushing the wet sand off her back. "How was your trip down here?"

"Boring," Seth shrugged and leans back on the blanked, she lays next to them so that their lying side by side.

"Well you're here now, so that can be fun," Summer said smiling at him

"Yeah…tons," Seth rolled his eyes "I don't even like the beach,"

"Then why are you here?"

"Because Chloe wanted to and Ryan wanted to and you did and Coop did," Seth said and Summer wrinkled her nose. Seth had taken to using her nickname for Marissa every once in a while. When she complained, her just rolled his eyes and said that it was the a form of flattery.

"Don't say Coop," Summer whined but Seth ignored her

"So what do you want to do? I figure I have about half an hour or so before someone recognizes me, so how do you feel about ice cream?"

"With just you? Because that might not be too much fun," Summer remarked and Seth rolled his eyes.

"You're too kind, Summer Roberts,"

"Thank you Seth…" she was about to say his last name when he covered her mouth with his hand.

"Don't," he whispered and she nodded. Right, the half hour before he was recognized, he probably was actually looking forward to that. Besides even though there were tons of rich and famous people there, well that didn't mean that people weren't always looking to seek out after a new one.

"Got it. So ice cream?"

"Yep, sounds good. By the way in case you wanted to know Ryan and Marissa left like twenty minutes ago to go back up to their room,"

"Ew, way too much information,"

"Believe me, I know," Seth said extending a hand to help pull her up. Something that she accepted gratefully, as she got up and started to pull on clothes, as Seth gathered her stuff. "On more than one occasion I walked in on them,"

"Oh I've done that, the horrible part about sharing a dorm room with Coop, was that she always forgot to leave a sign of the door that she had Ryan over,"

"Sucks to be you," Seth said as they made their way off the beach and towards the town and the ice cream shop.

"I don't remember you ever visiting when we were in college," Summer said thoughtfully. "I mean Ryan mentioned you once or twice, but you were just starting to become famous at that point. It's just odd that I've never met you before,"

"Summer?"

"Yeah?"

"I met you last week," Seth said earning a hard smack from Summer "Ouch. I'm just kidding, god. I don't know I just never had time when you guys were in college, I was working so hard and then I don't know it all kind of came together and instead of gaining time I lost more. It was horrible at first, you think that celebrity's party all the time. But really I work a lot, like at least a fifty to sixty hour week, plus the weekends,"

"That sucks," Summer said as she held open the door for him.

"Thanks," Seth said- it had a double meaning. The first was being sarcastic for the comment about his work life sucking, the second was real for the opening of the door.

"No problem, I love to insult you,"

"You're a kind person,"

"I know…really, I try to be,"

"and you so succeed," Seth rolled his eyes as he said this. "What kind of ice cream do you want?"

Summer told him and was surprised when he stepped up to counter and ordered. In French, nonetheless, she had to add this to another thing that surprised her about Seth Cohen. The list was growing longer and longer. Like the fact that he too had a plastic horse (of course Princess Sparkles was way prettier than Captain Oats, but still) and the fact that he loved comic books and video games.

He'd even confessed once that was what he had really wanted to do in life. Design comic books. She had asked him what had happened, and he had mumbled something about a catastrophe in high school and then shut up. He wouldn't talk to her about it but he had shown her a notebook he had filled with drawings. He had done one of her that was amazing, she had been stunned when she had seen it. In fact she had torn it out when he wasn't looking and brought it home with her. He must have noticed because the next day he brought her a few drawings.

"You speak French?" Summer asked raising an eyebrow in surprise

"Yep. Like twelve years, Marissa made me take it, she said Spanish was impractical. I think she got it confused thought. I think she meant French was impractical and got it confused, but being the stupid person that I am I listened to her," Seth rolled his eyes at his own stupidity

"Your smart," Summer giggled as their ice cream was handed to them. "Yummy," she said licking it.

Seth and Summer were the only ones remaining at the table. The seven of them had met for dinner, but everyone had gone their separate ways leaving the two of them alone. It was because of these moments- the ones where they were abandoned- that they had become such fast friends.

"Let's get drunk!" Summer announced taking a huge sip of her Cosmopolitan.

"Sweetheart I think your already drunk," Seth said moving the glass over slightly so that it was out of her reach

"So? Then I'll get drunker," Summer announced reaching for the glass

"No. Come on I'll take you back up to your room, you can sleep it off,"

"I don't want to sleep," Summer said pouting. Seth smiled; she was adorable when she acted like a four year old. A drunk four year old, but still. Everyone had left an hour and a half ago and they had ordered drinks. Lots of drinks between then. Or really they had ordered lots of drinks for Summer.

"Yes you do, now come on," Seth stands up and holds out her hand gently pulling her up. He wraps and arm around her waist to steady her as he led her out of the restaurant. He opened the door with the room key he had found in her purse and led her into her suite.

"Thanks Cohen," Summer mumbled as she slunk down onto her bed, she leaned back and closed her eyes

"Sum, you've got to change before you go to bed. You can't sleep in jeans,"

"Can you help me?" Summer mumbled "my pajamas are on top of the dresser,"

"Yeah, sure," Seth said awkwardly as he grabbed the tiny tank top and the mini pajama shorts off the dresser. "Here you go,"

"I'm not sure I can," Summer pouted and Seth's eyes went wide.

"Wh-wh-what?" he stuttered

"Can you help me please?"

"Uh-uh-uh…I don't…I don't…I don't think that's a very good idea," Seth managed to say backing towards the door slowly.

"Come on, you big chicken. I'll get you relaxed," Summer said clumsily getting up and opening one of the drawers of the dresser and revealing a huge bottle of Vodka.

"Oh no, no, no, no, no. No more alcohol for you," Seth said reaching over and attempting to take it from her.

"Its not for me silly, its for you," Summer rolled her eyes as she messily poured it a glass. "drink up,"

"Will you go to bed after I drink it?"

"Mmmhmm," Summer mumbled not committing to anything

"Fine"

An hour later the two of them were laying on Summer's bed laughing at nothing. They were drunk as hell and had almost finished the bottle of vodka. Of course Summer had helped because once Seth got started she had felt left out.

"And then I was like…" Seth choked out and Summer cracked up. She wasn't actually sure what was so funny but it felt funny.

"You're my new best friend, Cohen!" Summer announced happily

"Okay but what about Coop-I mean Marissa,"

"Coop can still be my best friend, your aloud to have one from each gender. It's the rules, duh!"

"Well uh…can you have two best friends of the same gender?" Seth asked timidly

"No!"

"What about three?"

"Definitely not!" Summer cried offended

"Then you'll have to settle for being just a friend,"

"Why?" Summer whined

"Well Chloe already called being my best friend and Marissa's like a best friend, so I can't have you too,"

"Then I take it back, Ryan is my best friend," Summer said huffing slightly

"Ryan's my best friend and my brother, so I win,"

"Well aren't you just special," Summer said rolling her eyes "I'm bored,"

"Go to sleep," Seth slurred and Summer giggled

"Your drunk,"

"So are you. You were drunk first!"

"So?"

"So that means you can't judge me," Seth whined and Summer laughed.

"Do you ever shut up?"

"No see sometimes I try to but in the end there's really no way…"Seth was cut off by Summer kissing him. His eyes opened in shock "Except for that," he said as she finally pulled away

"That was fun," Summer announced "lets go make out," and Seth followed her. Because he was Seth and he was a follower not a leader.

Summer groaned as she woke up to the sound of loud knocking. She looked around and had to think for a moment before she remembered where she was. Right. A hotel room. Got it.

"I'm coming," she said staring to get up it could be a few people, Chloe, Marissa, Ryan, Seth. Summer was just about to get out of bed when she realized that laying next to her was another person. A half naked male to be exact. A half naked Seth Cohen to be exact. Summer had to fight the urge to scream out loud. "Wake up," she hissed at Seth. Seth opened his eyes but didn't look all that surprised to see her.

"Morning,"

"That's it? Good morning!" Summer was practically screeching "Someone is at the door and you are half naked, in my bed. What happened? Wait don't tell me, just pull on a shirt and I'll answer the door," Summer said jumping up and running towards the door. Seth grinned at her in amusement as he watched her run out of the room and fling open the door.

"Hey Sum," Marissa said walking into the room "did you just get up?"

"Uh yeah sort of," Summer said vaguely "Cohen's here though, so I didn't exactly just wake up"

"Cohen…oh you mean, Seth. Seth's here, now?"

"Yeah he kind of spent the night," Summer said quietly "In a strictly platonic sense of course,"

"Of course," Marissa echoed suspiciously as Seth came out of the bedroom area wearing the same clothes as yesterday. He was holding his head and looking very tired "Are you okay?"

"Just you know…hung-over,"

"Don't like famous people drink a lot and stuff?" Summer asked bouncing up and down "I mean I had even more to drink than Cohen and I'm fine,"

"Sum that's because thanks to college you can drink like a keg by yourself and only get a headache," Marissa reminded her

"Oh right," Summer said thoughtfully

"Yeah. Anyways I just wanted to see if you guys wanted to join us for breakfast, well I was going to ask Seth by himself by himself but since he's here well both of you are invited,"

"Um no thanks the idea of food kind of makes me want to puke," Seth said as he slumped down on the couch

"Aww, poor baby. I better stay here with him for a while, I believe it was me that made him drunk,"

"Yes it's all Summer's fault," Seth mumbled and Marissa grinned

"Well…okay then, how about we meet later?"

"Definitely, as long as wussy Cohen feels better,"

"Hey I resent that,"

"You should," Marissa said "okay I'll see you guys later,"

"Great," Summer said as she ushered Marissa out, she was anxious to talk to Cohen.

"Bye," Seth called out weakly, closing his eyes, as the door shut behind Marissa.

"I would yell at you to tell me what happened, but since your obviously hung over I'll let you tell me later," Summer said in an attempt to be nice

"I'm not hung over," Seth said yawning as he sat up "I'm an actor, Summer,"

"What? You lied, you ass," Summer said smacking him hard across the chest

"What? Did you really want to go see RyRissa be all couple-ey during breakfast. No thanks I didn't want to puke up a perfectly good meal,"

"RyRissa?" Summer asks not wanting to admit that he's right

"The merging of their names, like the fact that they've basically merged into one person," Seth explains

"Ahh. I see, sort of," Summer sighs as she sinks down on the couch next to him, all though it far enough away

"So you want to know what happened?" Seth asks casually

"Yes. Judging by the fact that all I remember is being very drunk, please do tell,"

"We made out for a little while, then you went into the bathroom and said you wanted to take a bath, and fell asleep in the bathtub. A bathtub without water," Seth explained looking at her horrified face, "and then you woke up and got back into bed,"

"Oh okay," Summer looked slightly relieved

"Good, were settled then," Seth said standing up "Now I'm going back to my room to "nurse a hangover"" Seth said making air quotes around the last part "By the way, you're an awesome kisser,"

"Well I could say the same, only I don't remember," Summer said slyly "Care to jog my memory?"

"You want me to kiss you so that you can remember if I was a good kisser? How is that for my benefit? What if you decide I'm a bad kisser, that could be bad for my reputation,"

"You get to kiss me, that's a benefit and besides even if you're bad I'll keep it to myself,"

"Well than you can just pretend that you remember," Seth said inching forwards towards her

"I could but then I would be a liar, and that would be bad. Right Cohen?" Summer asked inching forwards as well

"Well that was what my mother always told me, honesty is the best policy, right?" he was practically whispering by now

"Right," Summer agreed "Except that we can't tell anyone…"

"Not even Ryan and Marissa," he agreed interrupting her as he moved even closer to her

"Definitely not them," she breathed in agreement, he was almost upon her now. Just a few more seconds and his lips would be on hers.

"Why ruin our fun, sneaking around is the best," he said wiggling his eyebrow, causing her to giggle a little bit and break the spell. But just as it was almost gone, Seth kissed her finally. He was hesitant at first, increasing the passion as she responded (quite happily) to his kiss.

"Mmmm," she moaned slightly as he started to kiss her neck slightly "No hickey," she breathed as he started to suck the base of her neck

"What?" he whispered breaking away and licking his lips as he stared at her

"No marks," she explained. "We don't want our fun to be exposed,"

"Of course not," Seth rolled his eyes

"Of course not," Summer echoed pulling his head back down so their lips met again

"Seth maybe you shouldn't drink anything," Marissa advised as she watched Seth take a large gulp from a bottle of beer "After your hangover last night. Two nights in a row, not a good idea,"

"Thank you mommy, but I'm not sure your one to talk," Seth said rolling his eyes as he exchanged a look with Summer who was trying not to burst out laughing. They were hanging out in a fancy dance club, just hanging out and having a good time

"Hey I'm only drinking a club soda," Marissa protested as Ryan wrapped an arm around her waist, and kissed her cheek

"Don't worry Marissa, Seth's just being an ass," Chloe said detaching herself from where she was making out with Ben (they were on again obviously)

"I resent that," Seth pouted

"Don't feel bad, your normally an ass," Chloe said and Seth pouted pretending to be mad

"Your mean, maybe I'll kill off your character,"

"Uh-huh, and then you'd have to kiss Sam and that would suck," Chloe said sticking out her tongue

"Whose Sam?" Summer asked in interest

"Samantha Limey is Seth's not real love on-screen love interest. Who plays second fiddle to his real love, me of course!"

"Ahh…you don't want to kiss her?" Summer asked curiously

"There are only a few people who I like to kiss," Seth said resisting the urge to wink at her "and Sam is definitely not one of those people"

"Sam's a bitch," Chloe said thoughtfully "She thinks that she can get Seth to date her in real life and then she'll break up with him when she's famous enough and then become even more famous by telling the story of their brief- but memorable- affair," Chloe explained

"How do you know this?"

"I just do, and I also might have overheard her talking to her publicist,"

"Yes. Whatever, thought. Because luckily in about a month and a half her character is moving to um…I haven't decided yet," Seth said with a shrug "but somewhere,"

"How about New York?" Marissa piped up "That's three thousand miles away,"

"Yeah. But that's cool, I hate Sam. I like to think that's she's really moving there. Maybe Kansas, or Pennsylvania,"

"Pittsburg by any chance?" Ryan asked rolling his eyes

"Not a bad idea, Ryan. Except that Anna's from there, and Anna's awesome. So that could hurt her feelings just a little bit," Seth explained "and I don't want to do that,"

"Okay then…um Boston," Chloe volunteered

"No…we have cousins from Boston" Seth explained

"Who we never see," Ryan said rolling his eyes

"But Ryan, buddy, maybe one day we'll be in a terrible crisis and have to go see them for help,"

"You live in California, I think there are a few people that could help you between there and Boston,"

"But their not family," Seth said rolling his eyes as if Ryan was stupid

"There are people that are family," Ryan said

"Who?"

"People,"

"Mature, Ryan, real mature," Summer commented. Then sighed looking out at the dance floor "anyone want to dance?"

"Um…no thanks," Ryan said and Marissa nodded her agreement

"Chloe?" Summer asked but Chloe was too involved with making out with Ben "So that leaves you Cohen,"

"Aww, gee wiz, I'm so honored that I'm your last choice, but sure, why not. That is what your suppose to do in a club," Seth said getting up and holding out a hand for her to take. She ignored him and he followed her down the stairs onto the dance floor.

"I like this place," she screamed over the music

"Me too. No one bothers anyone here, because they've gotten used to seeing celebrities," Seth explained and Summer nodded. Even though she hadn't really heard a word of what he said. Some pop song was playing as they started to dance. Seth ran his hand down her body and grinned at her.

Marissa climbed onto the plane behind Ryan. She was sulking slightly, actually. She had wanted to spend the day at the beach (as if she had spent the last few days doing anything else, Ryan was convinced she was going to get skin cancer) but Ryan had insisted that she fly to Paris with him. She didn't even really want to go to Paris. Maybe the shopping part might be fun, but the rest- hell no. She had seen all the fun places years ago, especially the year when Ryan, Seth, Anna and her had spent the summer after senior year touring Europe. She didn't need to tour anymore and besides she had lots of cool New York clothes. But Ryan insisted, and since she loved him and all, she had agreed. Besides he was pretty excited about his new development.

"Are you still mad at me?" Ryan asked giving her his famous half smile as they got settled on the plane after it took off.

"Yes," Marissa pouted

"Okay then," Ryan said reaching into his bag and pulling out his laptop and turned it on.

"You're going to work?" she asked in disbelief

"Are you going to talk to me?"

"No,"

"Then yes, I'm going to work," Ryan said as he opened up his e-mail and began to read

"You're impossible," Marissa rolled her eyes opening her magazine

"What are you reading?" he asked out of interest, she flipped it over to show him the cover of Cosmopolitan "anything good?"

"Sex tips that you'll never see if you keep dragging me off like this," she said and he grinned to himself. Uh-huh. After she saw the ring and the roses and the view…lets just say she might just change her mind

"Okay," he shrugged and went back to his e-mail

"That doesn't bother you?" Marissa asked in confusion

"No not really," maybe it would have bothered him if he thought she would stick to that

"Fine, sucks to be you," Marissa said going back to her magazine. Ryan just smiled at her.

Ryan actually had to work for most of the day, but he had arranged to meet Marissa (who was shopping of course) for dinner, under the pretenses that they would meet at his new development and head out from there. It was all going to go perfectly at least he hoped so.

Marissa looked around at the beauty of the houses that Ryan was building. They were amazing, and in her favorite city. Which of course was a huge plus.

"Hey beautiful," Ryan commented as he walked out to meet her "Did you have fun today?"

"Yes. I had an amazing time, you should see how much stuff I bought,"

"Really? Should I be worried,"

"Nah, I charged it to my mothers credit card,"

"Well then, good job," Ryan said wrapping an arm around her. "So what do you think?"

"I think their amazing, seriously, Ry, their gorgeous,"

"Thanks. Now come on, I want to show you something," he said leading her up towards the top of one of the houses. It looked amazing, there were roses and candles all over and a table set up in the middle, with two steaming hot plates of food.

"Ryan," Marissa said covering her mouth in shock. She was so revoking the sex thing. This was awesome. "Your so sweet,"

"Now we have to eat before our food gets cold, but I want to ask you something first," Ryan said fiddling around as he pulled out a black box from his pants. He got down on one knee and Marissa felt the tears already.

"Oh Ryan," Marissa breathed as he opened the box to reveal the most amazing ring she had ever seen. "Oh Ryan,"

"Will you marry me, Marissa Cooper, love of my life?" he asked and she giggled

"Of course," she said as he slipped the ring on her finger.

"I love you," he whispered

"I love you," she whispered back as they kissed.

"Okay so what do we need?" Summer asked as she and Seth walked around the grocery store on the day that Marissa and Ryan were due back. They wanted to surprise the two of them.

"Flowers…maybe?" Seth asked raising an eyebrow

"No, Ryan will have bought her like a million for last night,"

"Okay then…um chocolate"

"No…"

"Champagne?"

"Definitely," Summer agreed taking two large bottled off the shelves. "What else?"

"Why aren't you thinking of stuff?"

"Because I say that you should," Summer said

"You're a brat, but whatever. Um…condoms,"

"For them? I'm sure they brought enough," Summer said rolling her eyes

"No. For us," Seth said resulting in Summer smacking him hard across the chest. "Ow, hey I was just being honest,"

"Well stop being so honest," she said but she grabbed them anyways "what else?"

"Um…I'm out, you?"

"We have to do something," Summer whined

"No we don't. We drop off the bottles of champagne, which we could of ordered from room service by the way,"

"Your right but we couldn't have gotten these," Summer said waving the condoms in his face

"Ahh, and where would we be without those?"

"You would be in your room getting friendly with your hand," Summer said and Seth laughed.

"I could say the same for you," Seth said grinning as he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into a half hug. She stepped on his foot- hard- and pulled away. "Or not,"

"You're a jerk,"

"Thanks," Seth said and leaned down, checking first to make sure that no one was around and kissed her briefly.

Authors Note: Okay so I know this isn't the best chapter but I promise that the next one will be better! Anyways please review I'm very excited about the next chapter.
