When we arrived at my room, I took Annabeth's jacket and hanged it at the coat's rack. As usual, she did beat me from the race and some of my dignities were being flushed down the toilet drain.

She took a seat at the nearest chair in the living room and switched on the TV. I followed her and sat at the opposite side of her. "So, how long are you staying?"

Annabeth peeled her eyes away from the TV, "Mmmm… I was planning on staying here for two months… if that's okay with you?"

"It's okay as long as you wouldn't try and say that stupid nickname again." I said, trying to concentrate on the Bugs Bunny show and also TRYING not to notice on how beautiful her eyes are whenever the lights from the TV would make her eyes shine.

"You're kidding right? I've spent half a day just to create the most perfect nickname for you and as I am the sole legal founder, I can say it as many times as I like." She wore a playful smile on her lips and a hint of a twinkle in her eye, and in that instant, I knew I wouldn't get to convince her on ending the seaweed brain part.

"Percy, as much as I hate to end our conversation for a while, can I go to my room now?"

"Oh, okay." I led her to the room next to mine. I spent a day working and cleaning this one when she called me a few weeks ago. I opened the door for her and she stepped inside, she gasped and started looking around the room. The walls were painted blue but I did as best I can to make it a more feminine qualified room by removing all of my things there but left the bookshelf unharmed.

"Wow, I have to say seaweed brain; you did a good job in remembering that I need the bookshelf."

When I thought she's going to smile that Annabeth kind of smile of hers, she went all sad again. "Percy…"

She started but paused as if choosing the right words and because of my ADHD, I became a bit impatient and said "Yeah?"

She began but then closed her mouth. I started shuffling from one foot to another and crossed my arms, "Why don't you take a seat first? I'll go get some drinks."

I went to the kitchen and opened the fridge and since I don't have any beer left, I took out two diet coke and saw Annabeth staring at the far wall. I uncapped her soda and gave it to her; I took a seat right next to her and did the same thing to my diet coke.

She took a large gulp and went silent for a few moments. We sat there for about three minutes until she spoke up,

"You know the reason why I'm here, right?"

I nodded, "Well, you're here because you said you want to take a vacation right?"

"Well, the truth is… I got accepted by a company here that hires new architects. The reason that I'm also here is because your mom wanted me to keep an eye on you."

I tried to ponder her words and tried to read her expression and I noticed that there's something else she wants to tell me, "So, you're staying here only for a few weeks right? Then you'll find a nice shady apartment where you can…."

I didn't get to finish my sentence because she was giving me a look that says 'you better end what your gonna tell me or I'll kick your ass' kind of look.

"Percy, you don't understand do you?" she placed her soda at the coffee table and looked at me with those deep gray eyes that I've loved ever since the first day I saw her at Camp Half-Blood. I shook my head no and urged her on to tell me more.

"Well, I'm going to stay here. You do need a roommate to cover for the expenses and by the looks of your room, it needs a woman to do all of the cleaning." She looks around the apartment as if it's full of scum.

Is she serious? Like the hell with my mom and all, I don't need a roommate! I've never had a debt before and she comes in telling me that my room is like Zeus's target practice! Well okay, the room isn't actually spotless but it's really clean…on my opinion.

She was pouting and knew that if she does that, I always give in to her requests even though I'm not all in to that idea.

I sighed and started making dinner for the two of us, "So… is that a yes?" I heard her say in the other room.

I look at her beaming face, already knowing that she won and I was giving in, "As long as you won't try and brag to my mom about how you got me to say yes then it's a yes."

Before I knew it, she was hugging me from behind. I close my eyes and wished I hadn't broken up with her before I went to college and pretended that she still likes me…
