Previously On ……………………………….
"Who the fuck calls this early" he asked himself, trying to focus on the caller ID. In the end he gave up, answering with a tired murmur "hello"
"Hello Sethela".
"Nana" Seth answered, confused.
There was a short pause before Seth spoke again. "What's wrong?"
Sophie chuckled into the phone. "Nothing serious, just that my favourite grandson moved to the east coast and still hasn't visited me yet"
"Sorry" Seth murmured into the phone
"Lucky for you Sethela, you can make it up to me by coming to visit today and spend the night. It is the weekend, and I know you're classes don't start till Monday, so no excuses"
Seth sighed, realizing there was no way out of this. "Okay nana, we'll be in New York this afternoon"
"Good" Sophie replied, happy she had won. "And I will expect Summer too right". Sophie had taken quiet a liking to Summer in the past few years.
"Right" Seth replied. "We'll leave in a few hours"
"Okay, Love you Sethela"
"Love you too Nana" Seth replied as he hung up.
Seth quietly opened the door to Summer's room. He noticed Anna was already out, but Summer was still passed out on her bed. He noticed her gorgeous raven hair spread out on the contrasted white pillow. Her lips in a small pout and nose forehead lines wrinkled, as her hand brushed her hair away from her face. It was in this moment Seth couldn't help but watch her, mesmerized just by her as a whole.
"Stop Watching me, Cohen" Summer mumbled out
Seth took a few steps forward, sitting on the edge of her bed. "how'd you know…?"
Before he could finish, Summer rolled over to properly look at him. "I'm not in grade 5 anymore Cohen, I can tell when you watch me" she replied with a smirk
"Well that just proves that you are irresistible to watch" Seth said, leaning down for a kiss. "And we have to go visit the nana today" he mumbled
"What"
"We have to visit the nana today" Seth repeated, looking anywhere but her.
"Why?"
"Because she called earlier this morning, and wanted me to visit her, with you. Plus I may need you to drive cos im not feeling so great" Seth explained
"You're Hungover. Seriously Seth" Summer sighed. "I'll Be ready in an hour" With that Summer walked off into the bathroom, grabbing clothes on the way.
"I just have a headache" Seth yelled after her. While Summer was taking a shower, he decided to use this opportunity to take a nap on her bed. He had already gotten ready and it was now 10:30am.
When Summer exited the bathroom, she noticed Seth asleep on the bed. "That'd be right" she said to herself.
"He always was lazy" said a voice from inside the closet.
"Anna?" Summer asked
"Yer, sorry I got back 10 minutes ago" Anna said, stepping out into the room.
It was at this moment Seth decided to wake up. "Afternoon ladies" he said, stretching out on the bed. "Oh we're staying overnight Sum" he added, pointing to his bag at the doorway.
Summer just sighed, walking over to the closet to pack some clothes. "Give me 10 minutes" She was not in the mood to argue with him now.
"Where are you going?" Anna asked Seth
"The Nana's, in New York" Seth replied. "You have the whole dorm to yourself for the weekend
"Okay, well I'm going again"
"Kay, cya later Anna" Seth replied, giving her a lazy wave
"Oh and Seth" Anna paused, "There's something you guys aren't telling me, and that's fine, but I'm here if you need to talk". With that Anna left the room
Seth just rolled over and put his head in his hands. "Summer's gunna kill me"
It was 12pm by the time they left, and after many hours of driving, bathroom breaks, and the occasional throwing up break, they finally made it to New York. Seth had told Summer what Anna had said, but she seemed calm from his perspective. Sure she was tired, and frustrated and blamed Seth for a little bit, but she said she'd deal with it later.
As they pulled up in front of a set of apartment buildings, Summer began to feel nervous. How would she keep this a secret from the Nana? Will she be able to tell? As she stared up at the apartments she felt Seth's hand on her leg.
'It's Okay' he whispered and lent over to kiss her temple.
She felt a calm wash over her and smiled at Seth. It would all be okay, everything would be okay.
As she got out of the car she intertwined her hand with Seth's, and made her way up to the apartment. Seth knocked on the door and smiled at her.
'Thank you for coming with me'
Summer smiles up at Seth. 'Wouldn't miss it for the world'.
With that the door opened and there stood the Nana. 'Sethela, Summer, come in, come in'
