"But Princess Sparkles what will you do without Captain Oats?"……Seth! "Yes Princess Sparkles there's no need to shout I'm right here, there's no……What the hell are you doing!" Seth shouts at Princess Sparkles as he shakes his head vigorously. " There's no need for violence"-
"Seth! Wake your goddamn lazy arse up Cohen"
"Princess ehem", Seth opens his eyes blinking rapidly
"Finally your harder to wake than the step monster"
Seth sits up looking disorientated flashes of the dream still in his mind and he can hear Summer rummaging through his draws
An article of clothing is thrown at him hanging off his head followed by another and another.
"Hurry up today is motivation day remember" Summer says looking at him impatiently while tapping her foot up and down
Letting a moan escape his mouth he moves down under the covers
Kitchen-
"oh
good Summer you got him outta bed" Kirsten says smiling at the two
over her coffee
"Only just, he doesn't seem to understand if you don't get up till lunchtime then half your days gone"
"You see I'm actually investing that extra sleep into my looks….. And any day now it'll start to pay off, you'll all see" Seth glances over at his mother and notices her distant gaze. She had been like that ever since she quit her job at the Newport Group, depressed and regretful. Seth didn't even know how she had managed to say to Caleb that she wanted to leave, but she was clearly stronger than he thought.
While Seth was mulling over all his thoughts , Summer was busy trying to engage Kirsten in conversation.
"So what are you planing on doing today?" Summer asks raising her eyebrows hopefully
"Oh you know might tidy the guest bedroom or the pool house",
Summer glances at Seth and thinks not for the fist time how alike they are. Both just letting life pass by without stepping in to add their piece.
"Hmm ok well Seth lets go", Seth looks at her surprised she called him by his actual name. Seeing this Summer smartly replies "What you prefer Sethela, Seth Ezekiel or a combination…."
Quickly Seth grabs her by the shoulders steering her out towards the door "No I can handle Seth, bye mom" he's not surprised when he doesn't get a response.
Summer stoops down and grabs her shoes fiddling to undo her strap. Putting the shoes in her hand she clasps Seth's hand with hers and they walk down to the water edge.
She watches Seth carefully, trying to read his emotions. But finds like it has been for months now its been impossible. No one could say she hadn't tried that was for sure, what else could she possibly do. They had been on boat rides, horse back riding and looked through all his old comic book drawings and Summer was now at a loss. What the hell else could she do?
Seth breaks the silence" Thanks for you know trying" he stares at the sand and Summers heart breaks, she would never stop trying not for him.
Sighing loudly she rests her head on his shoulder "Seth I honestly don't know what to do, its like you don't really want to connect with anything"
"I know I'm sorry I just feel like such a…….aaaaaahhh!" he yells frustrated, causing Summer to bring her head up off his shoulder, she watches as he kicks the sand.
"This is the problem I don't know what I want, who I should be? what I want to be. How do you know?" he looks at her desperately searching her eyes for an easy answer.
"You've gotta feel it in here" she taps her heart.
Seth reaches for her" All it tells me is that I want you", he kisses her gently on the nose and Summer lifts her lips to his and is suddenly infused with inspiration. Smiling slightly she continues kissing him with renewed vigour.
Summer fiddles nervously with her bathrobe wondering if this would work. Well if it didn't Cohen was gay.
She slips her key to
the Cohen's into the door as quietly as possible and enters
shutting the door behind her.
Slowly she creeps up the stairs and
enters Seth's room.
"eh hem", she coughs out. Scaring the crap out of Seth.
"Holy sh.it woman haven't you heard of say knocking or a telephone or….." he's rendered speechless at the sight of Summer in front of him.
Anxiously she chews her bottom lip and watches his face
"Wonder woman returns, hmm I like it'll make a very good sequel" he manages to speak
"Gotta be better than the first edition" she smiles happy at the result
he takes her hand flicking off his bedside lamp on his way to the bed where the sequel is continued all night long.
