You Touched My Heart, You Touched My Soul

Bliss. One word could only describe the feeling that Ryan, Marissa, Seth and Summer felt. Each one of them had never felt so relaxed, peaceful and happy. Hawaii was doing a great job. Three days into the vacation and the four were not looking forward to leaving.

They sat on the dining terrace at the breakfast buffet on the morning of day three, the air was already warm and gently caressing their skin. Seth sat back in his chair, sighing contentedly and rubbing his stomach.

"That breakfast was just fantastic, I feel stuffed," he said.

"Cohen, you had a bagel and coffee, just like in Newport," Summer frowned. He shuffled and Ryan and Marissa smiled.

"Well, in Hawaii, everything's a million times better," he concluded. Summer smiled and kissed him.

"So, what are we doing today?" Ryan asked Marissa as Seth and Summer continued to kiss.

"What about the beach…?" Marissa began.

"The beach? Come on Coop…"

"Don't call me Coop."

"… we have a beach in Newport!" Seth finished with a playful glare to Marissa. She glanced in Summer's direction and they smiled at each other, silently exchanging an idea.

"Well Cohen, in Hawaii, everything's a million times better…"

"NO!" Seth stopped, taken aback at his friends yells in his direction.

"I only asked if we were nearly there yet…" Seth mumbled.

"Yeah for like the millionth time!" Marissa cried. The hot sun beat down onto their backs as they walked down the pathway near to a very quiet road.

"This is it," Summer smiled, pointing ahead. Ryan and Seth strained to see what she was pointing at and saw a small bay, neatly tucked into the coastline. It was deserted and a couple of tall palm trees swayed gently in the breeze. Summer and Marissa ran across to the bay, screaming in delight as they chased each other around the golden sand. The girls continued to play while the two guys set out their stuff.

Ten minutes later, Seth and Ryan collapsed onto the sand, turned out from their twenty minute trek to the bay and just wanted to doze in the sun. They were soon interrupted by their girlfriends, who stood in front of them expectantly.

"What's up?" Ryan asked, without opening his eyes.

"We wanna go for a swim, you coming?" Marissa asked.

"No," Seth and Ryan replied in unison. Summer sighed loudly, glancing at her friend. The guys opened their eyes and saw the girls whip off their tops and skirts to reveal two very tiny bikini's.

"So, you still don't want to come huh?" Summer asked, raising her eyebrow. Seth glanced at Ryan and both nodded.

"Yeah definitely but first…" They jumped up, whipping off their shirts and scooping up their shrieking girlfriends, racing for the cool water.

When Seth and Ryan were knee deep in the water, they tossed the girls in head first before diving after them. The four happily frolicked around in the water, their cares drifting away with the tide, only thinking about what was important, having the best time that they could.

The four ended up spending the rest of the day at Summer and Marissa's secret bay. It was totally quiet the whole day, no other people came to the bay and they were alone. Summer and Marissa worked on getting even more tanned as Seth and Ryan played with a football. Summer just enjoyed watching Seth miss it every time.

Later on that afternoon, Marissa and Ryan went for a walk leaving Seth and Summer alone. They snuggled together on the sand, watching the aqua ocean ripple.

"So, how are you liking Hawaii?" Seth asked Summer.

"I never want to leave," Summer sighed, gazing at the horizon.

"Me either, its so much better than Newport."

"Its not just the place, I'm just dreading going home. Back to my Dad and step-mom and all our troubles and issues.."

"Hey, Summer."

"Oh, sorry…"

"Don't be sorry, just enjoy the time we have here. Together."

"I am," Summer beamed at Seth and he held her closer as their head came closer leading into a passionate kiss. The warm rays from the sun beat down onto their skin and Summer ran her fingers through Seth's hair, wrapping the curls around her fingers as they fell back onto the towels laid on the sand.

"Thank you," Summer whispered, gazing into Seth's eyes.

"What for?"

"Everything."

Meanwhile, back in Newport, Neil sat in his study. He slumped in his large leather chair, sadly holding a glass of scotch and staring out at the pool. Gloria had left the house, choosing to stay at the Four Seasons rather than at the house. She'd agreed to come over tonight to have a talk about their future. Neil took another gulp of his whisky as the room got darker, the sun setting on the horizon.

Divorce number two. What was wrong with him? Was he just so unlovable and unable to make a relationship work? Family life was just too hard now. And with Summer leaving for college, he'd be alone. Alone in this big house with just his work to occupy him. Some life.

He jumped, hearing the doorbell ring.

Well this was it, its now or never.

Gloria would flounce in, demand half of everything and he'd just sit there and silently nod. That was what happened last time. Although his first wife had been the instigator.

"I'm so sorry Neil, I just don't love you anymore. I have to leave." Kate Roberts stared at Neil, her gaze unflinching and her words slicing through her husband.

"But Kate… I, you can't leave," Neil pleaded, reaching for her hand. She pulled it away, leaving Neil staring at the table.

"I don't like Newport anymore, its false and fake. Just like your job. You make a living turning people into something they're not."

"When has what I do had anything to do with us?"

"I just can't do this anymore Neil. I'm sorry but that's it. I want a divorce."

"Please…" Neil watched as his wife stood up and left the room hurriedly and he buried his head in his hands as his world fell apart right in front of his eyes.

This time was different though, he was the one who was no longer in love. He hadn't been in love for a long time. Gloria was fun at first but she became a shell of a woman, only caring about her appearance and what others thought of her. A life of botox, bitching and booze. Not to mention every painkiller and anti-depressant she could lay her hands on. It was all due to a communication breakdown. The truth was, the only woman he'd ever loved had walked away, walked out on him and his daughter. How could he ever trust anyone ever again?

He made his way to the door and pulled it open. Gloria stood on the porch, her arms folded. She didn't even greet Neil, merely pushed him out of the way and into the house.

"Let's get this over with Neil, I have yogalaties in the morning," Gloria said coldly.

"Well I'm glad you have your priorities in place, come through to the living room." Neil followed his wife through and they sat on different couches. There was an awkward silence, Gloria was glaring at Neil and he felt even more hurt than before. But anger took over the hurt in his body and he decided that he needed to be in the driving seat this time. A bored, bitter Newpsie wasn't going to walk all over him.

"I want a divorce," he announced. Gloria sighed and smiled sarcastically.

"Well done Neil, maybe they'll promote you for your perceptive skills. I'm not living here anymore, did you think I wanted a reconciliation?" Gloria spat.

"Don't speak to me like that in my house!" he yelled.

"Oh please honey, we all know what this is about. A little stubborn brunette named after my least favourite season."

"Her name is Summer."

"I know, I'm just using a lot of descriptive insults to give voice to my inner anger."

"You humiliated her, me. You are a disgrace and I was ashamed to call you my wife."

"Ha! So ashamed you went out, got wasted and shouted your mouth off to Sandy Cohen at the Graduation Party!" Gloria laughed.

"You can call me whatever you like but I'm not nearly as low as you Gloria." Neil's hands were shaking with rage.

"Can you honestly say this marriage was anything other than a farce?" Gloria was solemn now, her eye's boring into Neil's.

"Oh, you wanna hear the truth? I never loved you. I tried to replace my wife and failed, miserably. You wanted free face-lifts and no questions asked prescriptions. You got what you wanted, I didn't. I think that's all we need to say."

Gloria stood up.

"Fine. But if you think that you're getting out of this marriage easily, think again. You haven't seen anything yet honey. Good Night Neil." She flounced out of the room and slammed the door behind her. Neil fell back onto the soft pillows on the couch, his hands still convulsing in undeniable rage. Why was marriage so hard?

"Suuummmer!" Summer squeezed her eyelids shut as she heard Seth's loud calls. "Get up, come on!" he continued.

"Nu-uh! If I get up it'll mean that the last day has officially begun and I don't wanna leave!" She rolled over, facing away from Seth and pulled a pillow over her head. Seth sighed and quietly lifted up the sheet which she was hidden under. He carefully found her foot and, placing his fingers around her ankle gently, pulled on her foot as hard as he could. Summer screamed as she flew off the bed and on top of Seth. the two laid in a crumpled heap at the bottom of the bed, Seth moaning in pain.

"Oooh, my eye!" he wailed. Summer pulled herself up and pulled Seth's hand away from his eye.

"You poked me in it with your big toe, my poor cornea may never recover," Seth continued dramatically. Summer smiled and moved closer, pretending to think deeply.

"Hmm, well, I think I'll prescribe a large dose of this…" Summer leaned forward and kissed his closed eyelid softly.

"Anymore pain?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah actually, my lips feel so bruised," Seth smirked.

She grinned and kissed Seth, he held her closely and returned the kiss. Both felt the sparks whizzing around their heads, a regular occurrence whenever they kissed. A feeling of intense pleasure flooded Seth's body as Summer's lips danced on his. His strong hands rested on her back, gently pulling her closer so he felt her warm skin against his.

"What time do you have…?" Summer asked between kisses. Seth laid soft kisses on her neck and glanced at his watch casually.

"9,30," he said, "Do you think we have time to…"

"I think we could manage it, I mean it is our last day…" Summer grinned, gently sliding off Seth. She whipped off her white tank top she slept in and stood in just her pink boys shorts.

"Well, I'm not protesting, whatever you say Summer, yes."

"I can't believe we have to leave tomorrow," Marissa said grumpily, flipping through her glossy magazine. The two girls had taken a late afternoon trip to the spa so they looked great for tonight. The guys had offered to take them for a night they'd remember and each had a surprise up their sleeves.

"Hello? I'm so much worse off Coop. I have to go back to live with my Dad who I still haven't forgiven and go through yet another divorce!"

"Yeah, I guess you beat me there," Marissa sighed.

Summer closed her eyes and tilted her head back as she pushed her hair back off her face. She loved visiting the sauna, it always cleansed out her body, like a detox.

"We should do this next year," Marissa suggested.

"Yeah! I mean we're going to have finished our first year of college and it'll be perfect!" Summer said happily.

"Great, so this time next year? Deal?"

"Deal." The girls shook hands and laughed before slowly getting up. Facial next then hair and then 'a night to remember', Summer was buzzing with excitement.

"Uh, the blue box please. Yeah and the light blue ribbon, thanks." Seth stood by the counter in one of the many shops at the hotel, Ryan stood by his side.

"What time is it?" Ryan asked.

"3.45, god man, I don't think I've ever been so nervous!" Seth said, trying to ignore the butterflies in his stomach.

"Don't worry, tonight is going to be fine. I've checked everything out and its all running smoothly. Its booked and we just have to be there for 8pm. Calm down Seth." Seth nodded and let out a deep breath. No matter what the situation was, Ryan could always calm Seth down, he could reassure anyone.

The cashier handed Seth the little blue wrapped box and Seth thanked him before handing over the large amount of money in his hand.

"Are you sure about this Seth? It's a lot of money," Ryan asked, frowning.

"Ryan man, I know it's a lot but you only live once huh? And she's gonna love it."

"Whoa," Seth breathed quietly. Summer had finally emerged from the bathroom and nearly knocked Seth off his feet.

"You think?" she asked, looking down at her dress, smoothing out the non existent wrinkles.

"Of course I do. Just, wow."

"Aw, thanks Cohen. You actually look kinda hot too."

"Well thank you Summer. Now, are you ready for your surprise?" Seth crooked out his arm and a beaming Summer linked hers through it and the couple walked to the door.

"I'm always ready for a surprise Cohen."

The moonlit grounds of the hotel made it look more romantic than ever. The two couples met up and the guys led the way to their surprise night. Both girls were trying to hide their nagging enthusiasm and excitement and look cool but it was hard. The warm air hung around them and they elegantly glided down through the hotel, to the small harbour. Marissa and Summer were both holding onto their boyfriends and their hearts pounded.

"Well, there you go." The four stopped and Seth pointed at a very large yacht, moored right at the end of the small harbour. Marissa and Summer looked at each other and hated to admit that they felt a little let down. The big surprise was just a big yacht. But never-the-less both continued to smile widely as they were led forward to board the huge boat. Seth stopped and let Ryan and Marissa go ahead, he stood with Summer on the jetty and pointed to the name of the boat painted on the side.

Beside the steps to board the boat, there stood a Hawaiian waiter dressed in a tux and holding a tray of champagne.

"Excuse me Sir? Could you translate the name of the boat for my girlfriend?" Seth asked. Summer frowned at Seth but listened to the waiter anxiously.

"Kauwela Paleki, Summer Breeze," The waiter smiled. Summer's heart stopped and she looked at Seth.

"Oh my god Seth. The Summer Breeze! How did you find this?"

"Trust me it took me a long time but I had to look for my boats Hawaiian sister for us to dine on, on this very special night." Seth said with a small and embarrassed smile and Summer's heart melted. She walked forward and kissed Seth softly. They stood in their loving stance, only to be interrupted by Mr Waiter.

"The captain wants to leave Sir."

"Okay, we'll come now." Seth took Summers hand and led her up the stairs and onto the polished wooden deck. Summer bit her lip as they sat on the deck and the boat began to glide over the water. Here she was, on a huge yacht that must cost thousands of dollars to hire, with her boyfriend, in Hawaii. She felt like the luckiest girl in the world.

The soft strumming of a guitar floated out into the air as Seth and Summer sat at a candlelit table on the deck. Ryan and Marissa also had their own private table on the other side of the boat but both couples were separate from each other so they could spend some time alone. Seth and Summer gazed into each others eyes and Seth had her hand encased in his. The night was one of pure perfection and Summer was in awe of how much Seth had done, not to mention the enormous cost. They'd just finished their extravagant meal and were sat at the small table in silence. They didn't need to speak, both knew what the other was thinking. The connection that they shared was a complex one but to them, it was so simple. As Seth sat there, he knew in his mind that he could never be with anyone else in his life, even though they were still so young, Summer was the only thing he could still see him having with him 20 years from now.

After half an hour, Seth and Summer got up and headed to the front deck of the boat. They sat down on the creamy white cushions and stared at the gently rippling ocean in this serene environment.

"I have something for you," Seth said, turning to face Summer.

"Cohen, you have given me more than enough tonight. Honestly, it's the best night I've ever had."

"Well, let me put the cherry on top then." He reached inside his trouser pocket, pulling out the dusky blue box that he'd bought earlier and handed it to Summer. She frowned at him but he gestured for her to open it. As she did, she felt tears spring to her eyes. Inside the box sat a small shiny ring. It had a thick band but was very elegant. It had tiny turquoise and blue gems embedded in the band and was the most beautiful piece of jewellery Summer had ever seen.

"Do, uh, do you like it?" Seth asked, looking slightly worried as she had yet to say something. Summer lifted her head and her brown eyes sparkled as she beamed at Seth.

"I'm not, you know, proposing or whatever, its more of a commitment ring," he said.

"I love it."

"One last thing though," Seth reached forward and turned the ring up at an angle so she could see the words engraved in the inside of the band. Aloha Au Ia'oe Mau Loa.

"Its beautiful, what does it mean?"

"I'll love you forever," he said. Summer choked back tears as her heart slammed against her ribs with the monster beats.

"Oh my god," she whispered.

"Uh, so is that a good or bad reaction?" Summer looked back at Seth and frowned.

"Of course its good Cohen! Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined anything like this before, you, the boat, the ring, its all so amazing. I feel like its just a dream!" Summer laughed and Seth grinned back, his dimples making Summer feel even more like she was going to faint from pure joy.

"I really do love you Seth," she said softly. He smiled and reached forward, cupping her cheek and kissing her so passionately she felt like she could float on air.

Go easy on me, I like cheese! Promise more drama next chap
