Finally they landed back in California and everyone was happy to be back. The weather in New York was getting cold and windy which none of them were ready for. They had arrived early on Saturday morning and dropped Marissa and Summer off at there homes then the 4 Cohen's went to there own home all quickly finding there beds. Summer was lucky considering they were so early that her father was not up yet so she quietly snuck into her room and went to sleep knowing when she woke up she would have to face her father.
After sleeping for about 2 hours Summer slowly woke up and stretched. She smiled at first just glad to be back in her own bed but then heard someone going downstairs and remembering the talk she would be getting from her father. She let out a frustrated sigh and got out of bed deciding there was no point in delaying her punishment any longer. She then made out of her room and was about to go downstairs before she noticed Zach standing at the door talking to her father.
"I thought we agreed that with that boy out of town for the weekend you would close the deal" Neil said in a loud whisper
"Look all I know is that I woke up and she was gone I didn't have a chance to stop her" Zach defended himself
"Well if your father wants to stay mayor of Newport and your mother wants to keep her face looking the way it is. I suggest you come up with something fast because the longer you take the harder it will be" Neil said then stepping back and closing the door before Zach could even reply. Suddenly Summer mind was reeling all over again and then she realized that it was not Jessica that was working with her dad it was Zach. She felt tears falling from her eyes and wondered when she started crying she snuck back into her bedroom and quickly cleaned herself up. She decided that she was going to make sure now more than ever she was going to prove her dad wrong about Seth. She quickly changed her outfit and then grabbed her cell phone and keys then she snuck downstairs. Thankfully her workaholic father didn't notice her as she slipped out the front door and out to her car. She quietly made her way out of the driveway before speeding off to meet Seth at the diner.
When Seth got a text from Summer saying "Diner in 10" he didn't even ask question he just replied "k" and got the keys for the Range Rover and was on his way. Once he got there he noticed Summer sitting at their normal table. He slid next to her and put his arm behind her.
"Hey, what's wrong?" he asked his face showing how worried he was.
Summer who was playing with her hands looked up at Seth "Cohen I have to be honest" she whispered
Already Seth could tell he didn't like where this conversation was going but nodded his head knowing that it was something she needed to do.
"Before I decided to surprise you in New York I was hanging out with Zach" Summer paused not wanting to continue but when she looked at Seth's confused face she knew she owed it to him to continue
"He helped me rearrange my room and then I agreed to go to one of Holly's parties with him" Summer paused once again and she now saw how much Seth was dreading for her to continue.
"The thing is I totally pulled a Coop and got plastered and don't really remember the whole night all that I do know is that I woke up next to Zach the next day but we were fully clothed but I freaked so I booked a ticket to New York before I could find out what really happened" Summer finished quickly so quickly that Seth had to take a few extra moments to process what she said then what it meant.
He swallowed hard and opened his mouth to begin talking but was cut off when Zach walked up to there table. Maybe Summer wasn't as slick as she thought she was.
"Hey guys what's up?" He said sitting across from them choosing to ignore the tension
"Umm hey Zach we are kinda talking so… do you mind?" Summer said hoping he would take the hint but was not surprised when he didn't
"What are you talking about?" Zach asked ignoring Summer's hint
"You" Seth said in a soft yet angry tone
Zach got a somewhat cocky and evil grin on his face "Oh were you talking about the amazing time we had at Holly's" Zach asked Summer
Summer suddenly snapped into a rage black out "Why don't you get your patetic ass out of here and tell my dad next time he calls you that there not a chance in hell that you two are coming between me and Cohen because if you do I will personally make sure you never have kids"
Both Zach and Seth mouths were hanging open in astonishment at what Summer had just said and Zach quickly got up and made his way out of the diner before Summer or Seth could say anything. Seth just started at Summer knowing that he was in a very dangerous situation and if he didn't choose his action right he would feel the wrath of the rage blackout Summer was in.
"Umm what did you just say?" he asked calmly
Summer took a few deep breaths and was slowly regaining her composure. "Cohen I didn't want to tell you because I didn't know who my dad had helping him all I knew is that he was trying to break us up. This morning when I got up I came downstairs and heard them talking and then I knew for sure. So then I texted you to meet me here so I could tell you everything and so that we could work all of this shit out and move on" Summer said tears forming in her eyes.
Seth sighed he was feeling many emotions right now he was mad, sad, betrayed but they were all forgotten when he saw Summer tears suddenly none of it mattered.
"Sum surprisingly to me it's okay" Seth said looking her in the eye
Summer got a confused look on her face which made Seth smile
"Your cute when you're confused" he said then got serious "I won't lie I am not happy about everything with Zach but considering the situation I think I can over look it and I think your right we can move on from this and just forget about your dad, Zach and everyone else and just show them that while we may not be perfect we are perfect for each other"
Summer smiled as a few tears of joy slid down her checks. "But why?" she whispered
"Because Summer I like you this much" Seth said while standing up then getting on top of the table extending his hand down to Summer.
She hesitated at first not really sure why he was doing this but then took his hand as he pulled her up on top of the table as well.
"What are you doing Cohen?" Summer asked while smiling
"Making sure everyone knows just how much I like you" Seth said as he then kissed her. She quickly kissed him back.
Everyone in the diner was now watching the two teens make-out that was until the waitress came over and told them if they didn't get down now they would be banned from the restaurant but there smiles only grew when they saw her smile at them before she walked away.
--
After returning home Summer was surprised when her father just told her that he was taking her car away for a month and the returned to work. So Monday she caught a ride with Seth, Ryan and Marissa which she was more than happy to do. Once they arrived at school Zach made sure to avoid them. Seth and Summer were not even phased by him though they were both so caught up in finally being able to enjoy their relationship with nothing or no one in the way. Yeah Summer's dad still didn't like Seth but neither were worried they figured he would get over it with time. They walked into the school hand in hand ready for whatever was coming their way next.
So I ended the story because I didn't know what else to do with it. I will be starting the squeal to The Undeniable soon so be on the lookout for that. Thanks for the reviews and for reading.
