Before Note: SO SORRY IT'S BEEN OVER A WEEK! I FEEL TERRIBLE! I had to get my grades up before parent/teacher conferences, and then I had a long break from school, and hung out with a lot of my friends, which isn't something I've been able too do as much lately. Anyway... here's the 12th chapter, hopefully the 13th will follow very, very soon!

Chapter 12 - The Beginning

Summer turned around, and touched the doorknob, and at the same time Seth headed for her door. As he was placing his hand into the "knocking position" Summer opened her door.

"Summer." Seth said softly.

"Seth." Summer said back in the same tone.

They stood there sort of quiet for a few seconds, then Summer moved in, grabbing Seth's face with her hands, and plunging her lips on his. She moved slower at first, but then quicken the kiss. Before long, they had maneuvered themselves over to Summer's bed, where they slowly laid down. Seth slipped his tongue slightly against Summer's, and they began kissing even deeper. Summer ran her fingers through Seth's hair, and he kept a lock-tight grip on her waist. Summer started to loosen the tie on her swimsuit top, and rolled around so that she was lying on top of Seth. Seth pushed up on Summer's collar-bone, and their kiss was ended for a second.

"Hey..." he said softly.

Summer opened her eyes, and looked down into his.

"What?" She asked, in the same tone.

He looked at where she had loosened to her swimsuit top, and how her straps were beginning to fall down. This caused Summer to look at herself, making her feel slutty.

"... I– I'm ---- I'm sorry. I-I—I wasn't even thinking... I---- was in the moment... sorry." She said getting up.

She raised up off Seth, and then off the bed, she re-tied her top, and walked over to her dresser. She grabbed a clean pair of underwear, and some pajamas. She began heading for the shower. Seth got up, and softly touched her wrist.

"I didn't mean to make you feel like you were doing something wrong." He said, with care in his voice.

She looked up, and deeply into his eyes. She had always been able to trust Seth, she always knew he was sincere. "I know." She said. "But that was a little forward... sometimes I just get caught up in the moment, and I lose control... not a good virtue." She said, slightly smiling.

He smiled back at her. "Sometimes." He said laughing.

She playfully punched him in the stomach. "Shut up!" She said.

He smiled at her with that genuine Seth Cohen smile, and started leaning upwards.

"I think I'm going to go shower." Summer said.

"Me too."

Summer got up, and headed to her bathroom.

Seth waited until her shower went on, and he headed for his. Summer took a 15 minute shower, and when she got out, she changed into some flannel pajama pants, and a "boyfriend" tank from American Eagle. She laid in her bed, and got under the freshly changed sheets, and got comfortable. She started to close her eyes, and Seth came into her room, lightly knocking on her door. He was holding "Boys and Girls," one of those late-90's Freddie Prinze, Jr., flicks. She looked up at Seth.

"Wanna watch?" He asked.

She smiled, thinking about how she adored that movie, and thinking it was cute that Seth remembered she forced him to watch that movie with her at least 10 times in one sitting.

"DUH!" She exclaimed.

He smiled big, and put the DVD in the player, and jumped onto the bed. The movie started, with the period on the plane scene, and Summer laughed aloud.

"This movie is such a good movie. I think it's my favorite." She smiled big. "I forgot to bring it, and I thought I brought all of my movies."

Seth laughed. "I brought all mine..."

Summer started to chuckle. "...wait." She looked dead-set at Seth. "You own "Boys and Girls?"

He looked at her like she was an idiot. "Summer you loser." He started out. "You got it for me as a goof present for my birthday."

"OH MY GOSH!" She said, remembering that hours she spent wrapping that gift to make it seem like it was something so much better, and then wrapping his actual gift with it also. "I so remember that." She said, laughing out loud.

"You have no idea how much talent that took. Hours, and hours of talent." She said, still laughing.

Seth was laughing too, but pretty soon their laughing cooled down, and they began watching the movie. Seth grabbed a hold of Summer's hand, which he had wanted to do since the beginning of the movie. Summer smiled when he grabbed her hand, and she felt the tingles go through-out her body. She leaned a little bit more into Seth, somewhat like a girlfriend would have done to a boyfriend, but she didn't care. Summer started to fall asleep. Seth rolled over to give her a kiss, and realized that she had her eyes closed, and watched her sleep. Before Summer and Seth had stopped being friends before 9th grade, their parents would always let them spend the night together, not thinking that they would be romantic at the ages of 12 or 13, or that they'd even think about it, since they'd been best friends since the diaper days... he'd watch her sleep. She was so gorgeous, even when they were younger. Things hadn't changed. When Seth started to realize that girls were pretty, and their perfume. Seth began to fall asleep, and soon they were lying there, their hands still entwined. Fast asleep.
