A/N; Thanks for reviewing! So don't worry, there will be some more drama and some more issues for them to address in their relationship, but for now...a chapter of fluff! I'm sorry, it just had to be done, I've waited ages to write them as a couple!

After several minutes that seemedto last days they broke apart. Seth rubbed his hands up and down Summer's arms savouring the chills that it sent up his spine to be so close to her once again. Holding her at arms length he studied her face and smiled; she was the single most beautiful thing in his life and she was back in his arms…where she belonged.

"By the way…" Seth began looking curiously at Summer "Does this mean we're back together? Or are you just using me for kicks?"

"Oh kicks definitely" Summer said fixing him with a serious expression before collapsing into giggles when she spotted his confused face.

"No Cohen" she said, relenting a little "We're together. Although to be honest, in here…" She continued brushing her hand lightly over his heart "…we were never really apart."

Seth broke into a grin and planted a single sweet kiss onto her lips "And you think I'm the cheesy one"

"Cohen!" Summer looked offended and punched his arm repeatedly "You always have to ruin the moment!"

"Ouch woman, would you stop please! I can't help it I'm a Cohen….it's what we do best"

Summer narrowed her eyes at him "Well I suppose you have to be good at something" she said, a smug smile playing on her lips.

"Ha Ha" Seth nodded sarcastically. "OK Well as long as it's back on properly I have something for you"

Summer squealed with excitement "Ooooh a present. You finally picked up on the hints about the diamonds"

Seth looked up with wide eyes "Hmmm well maybe you could look upon it more as a symbolic present than an 'Add it to your will and get it insured present'"

Summer eyed him impatiently and was more than a little intrigued as she watched him fish around in his pockets before pulling out his hand with his fist clenched tightly around something.

"Ok…" Seth began, taking hold of one of her hands and drawing a deep breath "I know that you are scared Summer. And I know that my past record doesn't exactly help that."

"Cohen we've been through this. It doesn't…"

"Shhh…" Seth interrupted lifting his hand and placing a finger gently over her lips to silence her "Just let me say this. I don't ever want to let you down again and I need to make sure that you feel totally secure with me and with what we have. So I'm hoping this will help…."

Seth opened his still clenched hand and revealed a set of three keys that were hanging from one of his fingers. Lifting up one of her hands he placed the keys into her slender palm and closed her fingers around them.

Summer looked several times between Seth and her hand with a bemused expression on her face. "I…I don't understand" She said with a small and slightly apologetic smile.

"It's the keys to my…well yours now I suppose…It's the keys to the Summer Breeze" Seth finished gazing a little tentatively at Summer, unsure how she would react.

"I uh…I don't…" Summer still didn't understand what he was getting at.

"This way…" Seth began quietly taking her in his arms again "The only way I can run away again…is if you come with me"

The penny finally dropped for Summer and her face broke into a wide grin. She had almost forgotten what it felt like to be on the receiving end of one of Seth's grand gestures…but the memories came flooding back now.

Tilting her head and reaching up towards him she placed a lingering kiss on his lips and then whispered into his ear "Thank You"

"You're welcome" muttered staring down into her giant chocolate brown eyes.

They stood for several minutes locked in a wordless embrace before Summer tugged slightly at Seth's shirt and they settled themselves down in the sand. Seth wrapped his arms tightly around Summer from behind, clasping his hands to his at the front.

Summer heaved a contented sigh turned her head slightly so she could see Seth's face. "You know I don't really like boats" She whispered.

Seth laughed lightly and kissed her gently on the top of her head "Well I guess that means we're both stuck here then"

Summer smiled to herself and turned back around to face the ocean, savouring the feelings of love and security she felt with Seth's arms around her; The truth was…there was no place she'd rather be.

When Seth awoke the next morning it took him a moment to remember where he was. The warm weight in his arms caused him to look quickly down to where Summer was still sleeping soundly; her head was nuzzled close into the crook of his neck and her hand was closed tightly around Seth's.

Seth heaved a contented sigh, this, he decided was as perfect as life got.

The night before they had sat and talked for hours and eventually, as midnight approached, had reached a stage where they were certain that nobody in their lives knew them better. They discussed their hopes and dreams, their fears and insecurities and both pledged, in their own way, to do everything in their power to make it work this time.

Summer must have felt Seth's gaze rested upon her because her eyes flickered open moments later.

"Hey Sleeping Beauty" He whispered.

Waking to find herself in Seth's arms, memories of the evening before came flooding back and Summer smiled. Her ecstasy at her reunion with Seth mingled with comforting waves of sleep that were still engulfing her and produced a goofy, contented grin that she could not seem to wipe off her face.

The Sun had not yet risen and so they lay, wrapped lovingly in one another's arms watching the first rays of sunshine paint the Californian sky with vivid splashes of Orange and Red. The beginning of a new day in Orange County and a new start for their relationship.

Some hours later they were still entwined, savouring the peace and quiet of the beach in the early morning and not wanting to leave each other's arms.

At the waterfront an elderly couple walked hand in hand through the shallow water as the waves lapped at their feet. Their trousers were rolled up to their knees and although they said very little they would occasionally glance at each other and smile; their looks conveying all that they needed to say.

Seth studied them from several metres away; it was clear that when the man looked at his wife he still saw her to be as beautiful as the day they had met.

Grinning to himself, Seth nudged Summer and indicated to the couple.

"You think that's how we'll be in 60 years?" She asked, not taking her eyes off them.

"Well I'm hoping I'll have a little more hair than that….And they don't seem to be bickering so…"

"Cohen!" Summer twisted round and whacked him in the shoulder

"Ouch! And she's not attacking him…" Catching Summer's evil glare, he relented and played absent mindedly with her hair "Yeah I do Sum…" he began quietly "You're stuck with me until old age I'm afraid"

Summer said nothing but reached up and pulled him in for a lingering kiss before grabbing his hand and pulling him into a standing position then dragging him down the beach to the water and where the couple were still standing.

Having reached them, Summer was now a little unsure what to say, she was reluctant to disturb them as they seemed so peaceful and in their own little world. "Urm Hi…" She began a little shyly.

Seth laughed under his breath, and squeezed Summer's hand tighter; She was almost never shy and he thought it was adorable seeing her like that.

The couple turned and took in the young people stood beside them "Well Hello there"

"You two look like Love's young dream" the elderly lady said smiling "Not so long since we were like that ourselves eh Bert?" she continued turning to her husband.

"Seems like just yesterday. Time flies when you're in love" Bert said shooting a glance at his wife before returning his attention to Seth and Summer "So make the most of it. Especially you…" he continued addressing Seth "Looks like you've pulled yourself quite a hottie"

Seth laughed at the old man's modern phraseology "You're right there Bert…" he said putting his arm around Summer, pulling her close and kissing the top of her head "She certainly is that!"

The elderly couple smiled and turned to continue their walk "It was lovely meeting you both" the lady said before taking her husband's hand back in hers.

"You too" Seth called after them.

"Oh by the way…" Summer shouted and they turned around to face her again "I was just wondering…How you make it work for so long?"

"Well sweetie, it's all about trusting one another and just being there unconditionally" The old lady said smiling at Summer's question.

"And…" Muttered Bert sidling up to Seth "Make sure you keep things fresh in the bedroom…that's the key" Bert winked at Seth before walking off down the beach with his wife once again leaving Seth staring after them open mouthed.

Summer giggled at Seth's shocked expression "Close your mouth Cohen, you're catching flies"

"But…but…" Seth struggled to find the words "…they're so old"

Summer laughed and reached out for Seth's hand "C'mon Casanova let's go and get some breakfast"

"So does this mean we'll still be doing it at their age then Sum?" Seth asked hopefully.

Summer raised one eyebrow seductively "Well that depends…How long do you think you can keep up with me for?"

Seth just laughed and put his arm around Summer once again as they walked back up to the pier, the happiest that they'd been for a long time.

A/N: I'm sorry it was fluffy and kinda cheesy! But thanks for reading and please leave a review!
