Hey! Please look on chapter 7's A/N because there was something important that I changed to this chapter!

Hey! I'm back and I will be able to post more readily now. Yes, I know that that did seem rushed, but there will be conflict surrounding that. Please stick with me and keep reading and reviewing!

And thank you so much to those who review. They mean a lot!

"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God." Summer's mouth continued to rant those same 3 words over and over again in a hushed whisper. Her and Seth had just gotten back from their small dinner and they were on their way up to her hotel room.

Things had started to get pretty heated when Summer suggested that they take it back to her room. Seth followed obediently and as soon as they were in the elevator, Seth picked Summer up and she wrapped her legs around his middle, connecting her lips to his.

'This is so right. This is how it should be,' she thought.

The elevator buzzed signaling the end of the journey up. Summer took Seth's hand and lead him to her room. Summer looked inside to see if Cameron was there and luckily for her, she wasn't.

Seth started thinking about Jenny and how she was just one floor down. It was true, Seth liked the idea of being in love with Jenny, but when he was with Summer, he realized that he wasn't in love with her.

As much as Seth wanted to drop everything and fly away to an exotic island and be with Summer for eternity, he wouldn't break Jenny's heart. As he came back to reality, he felt Summer's hand skim the top of his dark brown corduroys. He bit his lip, not wanting her to stop, but he knew she needed to.

"Sum, stop, please."

She stopped and looked up at him.

"What, why?"

"Jenny." It was all that he needed to say for him to see the disappointment and hurt flash through her eyes.

"But I thought that you wanted everything I did. That you missed us."

"I do. But, I can't do this to Jenny. Things are finally starting to fit and take place. But," he raised his hands and put them on the back of his head in frustration, "fuck! You just come in and my whole world turns upside down. Everything just got really confusing."

"God, sorry!"

"No, no that's not what I meant. It's just every time I think that things will turn out okay, something gets in the way and I can see that that something is better that what I thought was best. I just don't know anymore."

He got up from sitting on the bed and started to pace.

"I've gotten comfortable with Jenny and yes, I still need to find a job, but things were starting to settle."

"Cohen, we could have that. We could settle down. I want this. I want you." Summer pleaded.

"I want this too Summer, but right now, it's just something that I can't have."

Seth walked over to Summer and took her jaw and placed a short kiss on her lips. With that, Seth walked out of the room and back to Jenny.

"Jen, you here?"

"Back so soon?" she asked sarcastically.

"Yeah, sorry about that. I had to talk to Summer."

"Oh yeah? What about?"

"Just stuff."

"Okay, I'm not going to push you or anything, but is everything sorted out? You back to your old

self?"

"Yeah, I'm better."

Jenny walked over and hugged him, truly believing that everything was back to normal.

"Thank you. Can we go back to how we were a couple of weeks ago? I know that things have been a bit rocky between us the last month or so, but I thought that we were getting somewhere, making strides."

"Sure we can."

"Good."

Even though Jenny believed that everything would return to normal, she still had those feelings of doubt. Would Summer and him become as close as they were in highschool considering that there was still more than a month and a half of them being in the same building? And would Seth find something better than her?

"I can't believe it! I thought we were getting somewhere! I finally told him my feelings first and he toyed with them and then threw them back in my face!" Summer sobbed to Cameron several minutes after Seth walked out.

"Sum, I'm sure he didn't mean to toy with you. I can see that he still loves you. The way he looks at you." Cameron tried to sooth Summer, unsure if she actually speaking the truth to her. "How about we go shopping this weekend. Saturday morning, well grab coffee and well be standing in front of Prada before it even opens."

They had been trying to set up a time to shop ever since they got to New York, but it never worked out. And if Cameron knew anything about Summer, it was that shopping was something that she loved to indulge in.

Summer looked up and silently nodded her head in agreement.

"I know that Jenny may not be your favorite person right now, but we should invite her. You don't want her to grow any suspicions of anything that happened."

"Your right. I just need to let her and Seth have their fun and then think of a big gesture to get him back. He loved to use big romantic gestures with me, so I'll use one on him."

"Play nice, Sum." Cameron joked.

"I just need him."

"I know."

The rest of the week passed slowly by for Summer. She needed to put away her grudges toward Jenny and understand that Jenny wan not to blame for this. Even though whenever she saw her she wanted to strangle her and kill her since she was with Seth, she decided to try and not think about that.

She had even called her to come shopping with her and Cameron on Saturday and to meet them at the New World Coffee on 5th Avenue and to not be late.

It was finally Saturday morning and Summer had gotten up especially early in order to take a shower and apply her make-up. She knew that Jenny would bring Seth along and that he would complain the whole time. But, if they would be together for the whole day, she might as well make it seem like she's okay with the situation.

Shortly after Summer's process ended, Cameron woke up.

"God, it's like 7:30."

"Uh huh."

"In the morning." Cameron paused. Summer was not a morning person. "Are you insane? How long have you been up?"

"Lets see. Give or take 2 hours."

"2 hours? Jesus Summer, what have you been doing?"

"Getting ready. I can hear the department stores. Their calling for me. And if I can't have Seth, he should at least see what he's missing." Summer smiled.

"Your unreal," Cameron said, trying to hold in a laugh.

"What can I say."

Summer walked over to her suitcase.

"I hate living out of my suitcase. It's annoying and of course I leave everything that I want to wear back in Texas. Haven't you ever noticed that you always over pack but can still find nothing to wear. Ever?"

"Sum, I am sure that with the 6 massive bags you brought, there is at least one thing that you

wouldn't mind wearing. I'm sure that everything you brought looks amazing on you anyways."

"Yeah, yeah. Go shower. We have things to do and clothes to buy!"

"Seth, sweetie! Up, up! We have a day of shopping ahead of us!" Jenny squealed.

"5 more minutes." Seth said as he took the pillow and placed it over his head.

"Seth. Up. Now."

Seth slowly sat up, eyes still clenched shut. "It is like 8 in the morning. Stores don't open until 10. And we don't really need to get there right when they open either. It's not like were meeting people."

"Yes, we are meeting people. Summer and Cameron. And we do need to be on time. Bulgari and Fendi are waiting for me."

"Great," he mumbled.

"Come on. Get in the shower. Were meeting them at New World Coffee on 5th Avenue at 9."

Summer sat impatently next to Cameron at the coffee house waiting for Seth and Jenny.

"God. Where the hell are they? It's 9:10!"

"I'm sure their on their way." Cameron said, trying to reason with her.

"Do they not know that the stores open soon?"

Right as she said that, they came bustling in arguing. Summer looked up hearing the middle of their conversation, secretly pleased.

"Come on! We don't have all day!"

"Jesus Christ, calm down Jenny. It's shopping. The stores aren't going to get up and run away to North Dakota."

"God, stop with the sarcasm. Your not even funny."

"Whatever. You want a coffee?"

"Yes, but I'll get it myself."

"Good. I wasn't going to get you one anyways."

Jenny rolled her eyes.

"Great."

Seth walked up to order while Jenny walked over to Summer and Cameron.

"God! He can never be on time and he is always so damn sarcastic." Jenny ranted as she threw off her jacket and set down her Chanel tote.

Seth then walked back over with latte in hand and Jenny stood up to walk over to the counter. He looked up after sitting down and fully realized that Summer was sitting directly across from him.

"Summer. Uh, hi." he said awkwardly.

"Cohen. Hello."

"Hey, so what's up?" He said, trying to break the awkwardness.

"Oh you know, the usual. But, as you know were shopping today. So yay!"

"Right. Woo hoo."

"Aw, cheer up Cohen. At least you can hold the bags. That's something to do." Summer said as she gave him a sweet smile.

Seth was about to something back when Jenny walked over. She took her seat next to Seth's and started talking about something insignificant. Her words went in one ear and out the other for both Seth and Summer. Instead, they were stealing secret glances, all while Cameron was trying to take everything and noticing the chemistry between her roommate and ex-boyfriend.

The time quickly became 10 am and Summer jumped up demanding that everyone come all quickly saying, "we need to be there right now. Someone could be in there right now looking at the same thing I want and taking the last one in my size!"

So, everyone got up and followed her to the first stop of the day: Prada. They had managed to make it down 5th Avenue by 3 pm, but there was still one store that Summer wanted to go in, Versace.

"Come on, this is the last store," pause, "I think." Summer added as an after thought.

"Thank Jesus and Moses!" Seth exclaimed.

"Don't run there, Cohen. I know you can't wait to get there."

She opened the big brass door to reveal clothes, shoes, and handbags. She walked over to this red cocktail dress and examined it. It was strapless and came to just below the knee. It came up in an empire cut and right where it hugged her the tightest, it started to flow out.

"I don't see anything in here," both Cameron and Jenny complained as they walked up to Summer.

"I see some things that I would like to try on. Do you want to get the car and pull it up then I can try these things on and you won't have to wait?"

"Sure," said Cameron and Jenny in unison.

"Seth, how about you stay here with the bags and help Summer if she needs anything." Cameron suggested.

'Of course,' Seth thought.

"Sure thing, Cam," Seth said, teeth gritted.

"Oh, um okay then." Jenny was not so comfortable about this one, "We'll see you soon."

They walked out and Seth and Summer heard the front door close.

"Okay Cohen, come on. I just need to try this on and maybe a few other things and then we can leave."

Summer grabbed some more things and took them back to the dressing room. She slipped off her skinny jeans, red shirt, and black ballet flats, pulling up the red cocktail dress.

"Um, Cohen, could you help me for a sec?"

"I guess."

She opened the door to reveal the dress and turned around showing him the open zipper.

He reached down to where the zipper puller was and began to slowly raise it. He touched her skin with the tips of his fingers to make it easier to zip up, not that he minded touching her. She felt her insides twist and turn with delight. She closed her eyes and before she knew it he was done. She kept standing there thinking while he stood behind her, arms at his sides.

"Summer, is that okay?"

She turned around and looked at him.

"Yeah, great." She said as she looked in the mirror.

She turned to the door, ready to close it when she heard Seth mumble something.

"What was that?"

"That dress. You look really pretty."

She smiled and offered a "thanks".

She closed the door, trying to think of some conversation topics so it wouldn't be awkward, more awkward.

"So, things with Jenny, good?" Summer raised her voice so it would loft over the door.

"Uh, yeah, their fine."

"Everything you thought New York would be with her?" she said, sarcasm evident in her voice.

"Well, no, not exactly. She's been pretty busy and I have to say that with all this great city has to offer, I have only found one comic book store that meets my standards."

"Yes, well, Comic-Cohen, not everyone has that same acquired taste as you. Is it unfortunate really."

"Ha, ha, Summer, you are funny. And the amazing thing about what you just said is totally true- it is unfortunate that people are not more like me and enjoy my hobbies. They really are conversation topics that people would learn to love if they would just be open to them."

Seth looked down at his shoes and smiled. Things were really going back to how they were before. Thinking about the past again, he wasn't aware that Summer had come out again, this time in a navy blue satin shirt that was tight around the bust and flowed out nicely right below.

"Yeah, that's nice. Defiantly a keeper."

"Uh huh. Cohen, what time is it?"

"Time for you to get a watch."

"God, seriously, what time."

"4:25."

"Wow, we've been in here long. Didn't we come in at 3?"

"Oh my gosh, I totally forgot, Jenny and Cameron have probably been waiting forever." Seth stood up, getting the strewn bags and gathering them.

"Yeah, your right, I forgot that they were even here," Summer laughed out loud, but more to herself.

"While your getting dressed, I am going to set these bags in here with you and then run out and tell them that we will be right out."

Without even thinking, Seth opened the dressing room door to a shirtless Summer. Seth's mouth dropped and he quickly closed the door, leaning up against it from the back.

"Sorry, I wasn't even thinking. I just thought that- damn it, I have no idea what I was thinking."

"Cohen, it's okay. Nothing you haven't seen before, right?"

"Yeah. Okay. I'll be right back."

Seth walked away and on the other side of the door, stood a smiling Summer.

Okay, so that was the re-done ending. Hope you liked it!
