Chapter 13 - The Getting There

Seth woke up with his face down in pillows, and in complete darkness. He started to smell the familiar smell of Summer's shampoo, realizing that he had slept the whole night in Summer's bed, most likely with her. He lifted his head up slowly, still waking up from sleeping deeply. No Summer. He heard the shower going, and figured she was taking a shower... again. She was kind of a clean-freak. She wanted to be clean all the time, and if she felt even the slightest bit dirty, she'd take a shower, just to feel utterly clean again. Seth turned around onto his back, and flopped his arms down onto Summer's soft mattress, and began closing his eyes again. The shower turned off, and Seth was beginning to doze off again, Summer walked out into her room in just her towel, her hair was dripping wet all over her shoulders, and going down onto her chest. Seth heard her opening and closing dresser draws, taking him out of his light doze. He looked up, getting his vision focused, seeing that Summer was only in a towel, and had no idea he was awake. Summer turned around, to see Seth slightly propped up, just sitting there.

"OH MY GOSH!" She screamed, jumping a little into the air.

Seth kind of looked scared, hoping she didn't slap him, thinking he was "peeping," on her.

"You scared me!" She said, in her regular tone, breathing sort of deeply, though. "I had no idea you were awake." She said, smiling, and walking back into the bathroom. "Be back in a sec." She said, shutting the door softly.

Seth couldn't help but feel a strong connection between him and Summer, even when all they did was make eye contact. He felt drawn to her, and he always wanted to be around her. It was sort of weird that way, how he had forced himself to practically hate her for 3 years, and a few nice words, and they were kissing, and holding onto each other. Sometimes it clicked, and sometimes he didn't even understand how things had come about the way were occurring right now. As Seth's thoughts were racing through his head, Summer walked out of the bathroom in a Hollister mini-skirt, definitely heavy on the mini. She paired it when a boyfriend tank from American Eagle, which happened to be the fresh green color, with the pink eagle at the bottom. Her hair was twisted up in a towel, and she was heading to her vanity to began to brush through her hair.

"You're so beautiful." Seth said, not thinking it was actually coming out of his mouth.

Summer felt a tingle in her stomach, and turned around very slowly. She felt the smile forming on her face. "What?" She questioned, even though she'd heard him loud and clear.

Seth coughed, as a filler... trying to think. "I said... I– I.. I - well.. I sa– I said.." His attempts were failing miserably.

Summer extended her smile. "Seth?" She said softly.

He made an 'ahem,' noise, and tried to speak again. "Well, I said that you're beautiful... because it's true." He had actually managed to say it.

Summer smiled at Seth, making complete eye contact with him. She gazed deeply into his eyes, the butterflies in her stomach fluttering uncontrollably. "Th– Thank you, Seth." She said, sort of shaky.

Their eye contact was stronger then ever. "You're welcome." He said, in about the same tone Summer had thanked him in. Summer slowly turned around, and started to apply her make-up, smiling. Seth got up, and touched her shoulder, smiled at her in the mirror, and headed to his bedroom. He got into the shower, and when he got out, he was in his boxers. Summer was getting ready to walk into his room. When she got there, he had barely just slipped his shirt of his head. Summer knocked on his door, and Seth knowing it was no one else, quickly sprayed some of his cologne. Seth opened his door, and not even a second later, he was pushed down onto his bed, and Summer's lips were on his. They kissed softly for a couple of seconds, before the kiss deepened. Seth's hand slipped down to the small of Summer's back, and his other hand found itself on the back of Summer's neck. Seth flipped Summer over slowly so that she was lying on the bottom, and deepened their kiss so more by beginning to massage Summer's tongue with his own. As their kiss continued it's depth Summer slipped her hand down to her skirt button, and slid it out of it's loop. Her skirt was unbuttoned revealing her lace thong, not that Seth had yet to notice. They had been kissing for a good 10 minutes, as Summer started to pull up on Seth's shirt, and within seconds she'd pulled it over his head, which had broken their kiss. Seth opened his eyes, now realizing Summer's skirt was unbuttoned, and she had pulled his shirt of.

"Hey." He said, sort of quizzically.

Summer looked at him confused.

"... what... what are ya doing?" He asked her.

Summer looked at him again. She nervously smiled. "What do you mean?" She asked.

He looked down at her unbuttoned skirt, and his shirt that she still had in her hand.

She thought for a second. "Oh gosh." She said, in a scared tone. "I'm sorry... I didn't.." She started to get up. She buttoned up her skirt, and walked out of the room. "Way to go slut!" She said to herself, right outside of Seth's door. She walked to her room, and shut the door. She slid down the back-side of her door, and fell to the floor. Summer had been so used to just doing that with boys. Especially when she liked them... and the Lord knew that Summer adored Seth. She felt like such a skank. She figured that Seth was a virgin, considering his reaction to a girl tearing off his clothes, but you could never be to sure. Knock, Knock.

"Summer?"

Seth's words broke Summer's thoughts.
