A/N: Thanks so much for all your reviews, I'm really glad you enjoyed that chapter. A couple of you wondered whether I would continue the lunch in this chapter but i decided not to, simply because it's a bit of a limited situation to explore. HoweverNeil will turn up later so we can see some more of his feelings and his relationship with Seth - hope that's ok!

"I'm telling you Sum, this could be the start of a beautiful friendship" Seth grinned,

"You have such an overactive imagination Cohen…" she replied, rolling her eyes

Seth and Summer wandered into the Cohen's kitchen hand in hand, both looking a little dishevelled but utterly contented.

"He shook my hand Sum…" he protested, waving his arm around expansively for emphasis.

"Hey…is anyone around?" Seth called into the seemingly empty house

"You're back!" Sandy's voice boomed from the lounge just as he appeared around the corner "I was expecting you back ages ago. Have you been at lunch all this time or…" he trailed off as he took in their distinctly ruffled appearance "…I guess not" he murmured quietly.

Seth's previously pristine tie was now poking out of his jacket pocket, his shirt buttons didn't quite match up and there was a somewhat tousled look to both of their hair.

Summer blushed under Sandy's amused gaze and Seth looked briefly sheepish

"I... err…we went" Seth began, reaching for words "…back to Summer's…to pick up…you know…"

"…My Purse!"

"…A Comic Book!" They both finished in unison

"Right." Sandy eyed them smugly as Seth and Summer shot each other exasperated glances and Kirsten walked into the kitchen.

"Hey how did it…oh" She stopped short and her eyes widened as she noticed their appearance and drew the same conclusion.

"Come on honey" Sandy grinned, guiding his stunned looking wife out of the room again "Let's go to the lounge, they can tell us all about lunch and you can maybe…sit down"

Summer rounded on Seth as soon as they left the room and whacked him across the back of his head "A Comic Book?" she hissed.

Seth shrugged apologetically and was about to respond when a snatch of his parents' conversation floated through to them

"…Don't look so shocked dear…we Cohens are very sexual beings…"

Seth's face morphed into a picture of total mortification as Summer collapsed into silent giggles. "Got any other family traits I should know about Cohen?" she teased

"Let's just not mention that again ok" Seth instructed, shaking his head before grabbing Summer's hand again and leading her into the lounge.

"So come on then, how was it?" Sandy asked as they entered "You made it back in one piece at least Son… always a good sign"

An elated smile spread across Seth's face "It was…" he paused for effect "indescribably awesome… I mean words can't even explain…it was just…"

"It was fine" Summer cut in, trying to stem Seth's over enthusiastic flow.

"Fine? How can you even say that Sum?" he shot her a wounded look and collapsed into an armchair "I mean we just connected…ok so at first I was a little worried, it didn't seem to be going what I would call well…, but then Summer took a bathroom break and we just had a chat…man to man, you know how it is…" he shrugged modestly at his Father who nodded knowingly, humouring his Son "And after that…well there was a small Picante incident…but it was all pretty much peachy from there." Seth finally took a breath and simply laid his head back with a satisfied grin.

Although reluctant to ruin her boyfriend's exuberant mood, Summer was about to offer a slightly more realistic review of events, however Seth had already jumped out his chair and started again before she could get a word in.

"Oh and I forgot the best part!" he exclaimed, eyes wide with excitement "At the end, he shook my hand looked me straight in the eye and said…wait for it… 'See you again Son'"

Summer exploded into laughter "He did not call you 'Son'!"

A look of disappointment flashed across Seth's face causing Summer's giggles to subside a little "I'm sorry Sweetie…" she said, stroking his shoulder slightly "But you have to at least make it believable."

Seth pouted like a little boy and folded his arms across his chest "Ok…" he muttered sheepishly "maybe he said 'Seth' not 'Son'…but there was definite subtext."

Kirsten smiled as his doleful expression "It sounds like you did a great job honey"

"Yeah…" Summer said quietly, shooting him a proud smile and kissing him gently on the top of his head "He really did"

Sandy and Kirsten exchanged amused glances at the moment they had just witnessed, and decided to leave the two lovebirds in peace.

Summer got up and dropped into Seth's lap as they left the room. She wrapped an arm around his neck and began to play with the dark curls on the back of his head, watching his eyes as they slowly shifted from focussing on the floor to studying her face.

"I'm sorry…" he whispered "Got a bit carried away there"

Summer planted a single sweet kiss on his lips "I think I can forgive you this time." She smiled "I know this lunch meant a lot to you."

"And to you too…" Seth shot her a questioning glance

"I guess…" she shrugged simply "…But not as much as you do"

Summer gave a small sigh and nestled her head onto Seth's shoulder, where she remained for several moments, savouring the peace after the stress of the past few hours.

"You know..." Seth murmured finally "Your Dad still scares the crap out of me."

She laughed softly and lifted her head so that her eyes met his "I know." She whispered "But there'll be lots more opportunities for you to work your magic on him. You can't expect everything in one lunch time Cohen"

Seth nodded slightly "Well at least it's a start"

"Yeah it is" she said smiling "And I mean, he is a Roberts…just think how long it took for you to get me to like you…"

"Oh Sweet Moses" Seth sighed, burying his head in her chest "We'll be expecting our first grandkids by the time he accepts me"

Summer giggled and an enchanted smile spread across her face as she picked up on his subconscious reference to their future together.

"You never did tell me what you said to my Dad whilst I was in the Bathroom…" Summer began after several minutes of comfortable silence "I know you must have said something…"

"Ahhh my little Summer…I'm afraid that's going to remain between me and your Dad" Seth replied with a teasing grin "…It's like an unwritten rule of men."

Summer raised a sceptical eyebrow "What do you know about unwritten rules of men Cohen?"

"Uh…ok not a lot." He conceded "But I do know that me not telling you will drive you crazy… so I plan to keep this up"

Summer opened her mouth ready to retort but changed her mind at the last second and simply let out a soft growl of frustration as she dropped her head back onto Seth's shoulder. "I'll get it out of you eventually Cohen" she whispered seductively "I have my ways…"

Seth raised an interested eyebrow and leant forward to mutter into her ear "I'll look forward to it."
