S/S in this chapter, but they don't really interact..R/R n tell me what you think.

Chapter 11

The Ladies Man

"Dad come on! Its just a party..Nothing bad will happen..." Seth whined as he followed Sandy throughout the house. "And if worse comes to worse, I now have my 'brother' to protect me, right Ryan?" Ryan just shrugged and nodded.

"You let me go to Chino with Ryan, but you won't let me go to a party in my own neighborhood?" Seth gawked as he let out a small laugh.

"I don't care what I said before, I'm telling you no now..." Sandy explained as he finally eluded Seth and joined Kirsten on the couch in the living room.

"Fine be that way, I guess me and Ryan will just spend the night playing games and being bored out of our minds!" Seth whined again and crossed his arms.

"Oh what a shame..."Sandy said sarcastically and rolled his eyes.

"C'mon Ryan, lets go.." Seth stamped out of the room and into the poolhouse, with Ryan trailing behind him. Sandy and Kirsten just broke out into hysterical laughter from the living room at Seth's antics.

"So we're seriously staying in for the night?"Ryan questioned as he grabbed a controller and waited for the system to turn on.

"Pffft..Hell no..we're going to that party!" Seth said with authority and shut the game off.

"What exactly is your plan to get out of here?"

"Its plain and simple..Wait for the old folks to go to sleep than head out...My guess is that they'll be out in about a half hour. They're watching a Sylvestor Stallone movie, sleep is inevitable.." Seth explained and stood.

"Be ready in 30 minutes, I'll come back down to get you, alright?"Seth stated than walked out the door and to his room.

"Ok man, this is like, so stealth..we're like secret agents!" Seth exclaimed as he started the car engine and pulled out of the driveway.

"I still don't think this is a good idea..."Ryan grasped the handle and tightened his seatbelt again. With Seth's reckless driving, he was sure to get them killed.

"Ryan, buddy, don't worry about lying to my parents...They're not going to throw you out, and besides, all kids do this..You got nothing to worry about." Seth said reassuringly as he continued on driving. Ryan just lowered his head and nodded. He really didn't like the idea of lying to Sandy and Kirsten. They just welcomed him into their home, and here he was sneaking out and going to a party.

"And we're here!" Seth squealed and parked the car far away from Holly's. There had to be at least 100 cars there easily.

"This is gonna be awesome..I'm gonna keep my options open at this party, you know, play the field."Seth hopped out of the car and started down the sidewalk.

"What about Summer?" Ryan closed his door and joined him.

"What about her...I've done everything from saving her, getting the shit kicked outta me, gone into a coma..all for her to just shrug it off and find a new boyfriend like I'm nothing..."Seth angrily spat out.

"Clearly your fine with not liking her..."Ryan said as they made their way up the front lawn.

"Clearly!" Seth shouted out a little too loud.

"I was being sarcastic.."Ryan stopped in front of the door and looked over at Seth and rolled his eyes.

"I know that..." Ryan once again rolled his eyes. "God I am so screwed..." They opened the doors and entered the party.

The party was in full swing. The beer was flowing, the girls dancing, the potheads were already stoned out of their minds. Ryan and Seth quickly sprung over to the keg and poured themselves a cup.

Ryan was looking all over the party for Marissa, she had been on his mind ever since he saw her at the pier. He was dumbstruck at her beauty. He needed to find her, and that couldn't be done with Seth following him around.

"Eh man, I'm gonna uhhh..go to the bathroom.."before Seth could give a smart response, Ryan bolted out of sight and blended into the crowded drunks.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

It had now been an hour since Seth last saw Ryan. "Who the hell takes an hour to go to the bathroom?" Seth was oblivious to Ryan's plan to find Marissa. Ever since Ryan abandoned him, he had been sitting on the couch in the living room enjoying the scenery. By scenery, it meant all the chicks dancing on the table a few feet in front of him.

Seth was taken out of his gaze by a tap on the shoulder. He whipped his head back and looked over the couch.

"Hey you...remember me?" the girl smiled at him than blushed.

"Uhhh...its Amy right?"Seth had no clue who the girl was.

"Anna.." Then it hit him. Anna was the girl he met at the last party he was at. She had relatively short blonde hair, and was well, pretty. He never had a chance to recognize her, because the last time he saw her, he was too busy trying to get to Summer.

"Oh yes I remember you! You were reading the new legion last time I saw you.." Seth pointed his finger and pressed her nose in. The booze was starting to get to him. "Wasn't the last issue, like, totally awesome?" She blushed and nodded at him.

They were now heavily flirting, exchanging glances, while grinding against each other to the music. Seth was suddenly thrust out of Anna's grasp and right into the hands of another girl.

"Hey you..." the girl slurred and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Wh-what you did for Summer at that party was like...so brave!" She took her arms off his neck and ran her hands down his chest, causing Seth to choke on his drink.

"Su-Summer, is like, a total bitch for not like, going out with you..." She grinded her hips into him. "I mean, your like so hot!" Seth was stunned at what he was hearing.

"Umm, hellooo..." Anna waved her hand in Seth's face, jolting him out of his gaze.

"What do you want bitch?"the girl glared at Anna and continued to grind with Seth.

"We were talking, before you came in slut!" Seth broke from away from the girl, and now was standing in between the two fiery chicks.

"Oh my god, Jessica! You got to him before me!" another girl joined the trio, and entwined her fingers with Seth.

"Yes I did get to him before you Meg, so back off!" Jessica shoved her fellow drunk friend.

"Okay guys, lets not do this.."Seth managed to sneak in a plea.

"Shutup geek.." Jessica slurred while angrily glaring at Meg and Anna.

"I thought you said I was hot?" Seth smirked to himself.

Before he could do anything, Jessica smacked him across the face then slugged Anna in the face. This caused all hell to break loose. Seth was on the floor in pain, while the 3 ladies fought and to Seth's amusement, rolled around. He couldn't help but smile at the fact this fight all started because of their wanting, of him.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

"Who the hell does Cohen think he is? Some kinda pimp or something..." Justin spat out then slapped a high five to one of his buddies. He had his arm wrapped around Summer's shoulder as they watched the events unfold. Everyone was now crowded around Seth and his women.

Summer couldn't keep her eyes off Seth the entire time since he arrived. From analyzing his outfit, to trying to listen in on what he was saying. She was obsessing..Something she didn't do too much...And over Seth Cohen! She watched as he gained all the attention from the girls, watched him dance with Jessica and flirt with all of them. In fact, she was jealous. But it didn't show, which was a relief because she had Justin. He never even noticed Summer eyeing Seth up the entire time. He was too busy flirting with other chicks to even notice it. Summer just rolled her eyes everytime a girl came up to them and started flirting with him. Even if his damn hands were around Summer, they still insisted on pining for him.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

"Okay, this is so not the way to handle this you guys..." Seth struggled to pull each girl off one another. They all had their shirts ripped and scratch marks all over their body. Anna appeared to be the worst, she had scraps of hair lying around, as well as her shirt was holding on by a thread.

"Cohen you ass!" Jessica wiped off her face and glared at him. "Your just gonna have to choose!"

Seth's POV

Wait a minute...did she just say choose? No girl has ever really gave me a choice for anything...I now have 3 girls literally fighting for me and I have to choose one of them!?!? I'm either dreaming or I'm still in a coma...this is too good to be true.

Seth was left speechless, the girls stood awaiting his answer. So did the entire crowd, including Summer. She was desperately trying to hear his answer, and even went as far as smacking Justin's hand off of her, just to get a better view. She was dying on the inside. She knew Seth was a lost cause now. It took her too long to realize she wanted him, and now it was too late.

Seth took too long to reply, and the girls all stomped off in different directions, weaving their way through the crowd. Seth still had his jaw dropped as the crowd slowly began to fade away.

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

"I think its safe to say that Summer is no longer an issue.." Seth sat on the edge of the bed in the poolhouse and pondered the nights events.

"You got a choice to make...And are you sure your completely over Summer?" Ryan cocked his eyebrows up and sat in a chair.

"Well, not exactly, considering none of these 3 girls could even hold a candle up to Summer..She's still the most drop dead gorgeous girl in the school.."

"So what are you gonna do.."Ryan crossed his arms and smirked at Seth.

"I don't know man...I seriously don't know..."

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

"Coop! Did you see Cohen today? He like, had those skanks rolling all over each other for him..Ew!" Summer fell onto her bed and buried her head into her pillow.

"No, I was uhh..busy..." Summer shot her head up at this.

"What with that kid from Chino?" Marissa was stunned that her friend already knew she was with Ryan. " Trust me Coop, I've seen him, and he's nothing special.." Marissa rolled her eyes and quickly decided to change the subject.

"So, come Monday, Seth's going to have to make up his mind.."

"Theres not much to chose from...either skank, skank, or ummm...skank!" Summer shouted.

"Whoa calm down Sum..."

"No I won't calm down...One day, he's all geeky and neurotic and pinning for me...The next day, he's a freaking ladies man with girls pinning for him! Its disgusting!"

"Huh...so you have feelings for him huh?"

"What! Ew Coop! Thats like so wrong, I mean he's Seth Cohen!"

"You like him...You like him.." Marissa teased and then began tickling her.

"Coop stop it!" Summer cried out helplessly. "I do not like Seth Cohen.."

"Right..." Marissa stopped tickling then rolled over on the other side of the bed and dove right into another magazine. Summer meanwhile, was beginning to question herself. Could she really like Seth? No...no way. Right?

111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

"So where the hell were you? I couldn't find you anywhere.."Seth retorted back to Ryan, in hopes of getting the subject off him and his choice.

"Uhhh..I was uhhh busy."Ryan stuttered.

"You mean getting busy...I saw you eyeing Marissa up...Its okay, you can talk to me about it.." Seth jumped of the bed and huddled over Ryan and put a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"...your really starting to freak me out..." Ryan backed away and smacked his hand off.

"I'm okay with that...but really, what happened?"

"Well, you know, I sort of saw her out at the beach..and she was all alone, so we just talked then-

"-You hooked up! Man, here I am with lady problems, and you're the Ladies Man!" Seth interrupted.

"If you had let me finish, I would've said that all we did was kiss..there was nothing mor-

"Was there tongue?" Seth questioned with a serious face.

"I'm not gonna answer that.."Ryan dead panned.

"Fine, fine, keep it all bottled up..."Seth gestured with his hands kissing actions and Ryan couldn't keep it in any longer. He burst into a flurry of laughing fits. For a kid from Chino, he at least laughed every so often.

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?" Sandy burst into the poolhouse in his robe and slippers. He didn't look too happy. Ryan instantly stopped laughing, and Seth finally caught the hint at Ryan's sudden quietness, and stopped gesturing.

"Busted..."Seth whispered to Ryan who was scared shitless.
