It wasn't over the top but it wasn't minimal. They knew it was it the day the relator unlocked the door to the two bedroom apartment on the upper west side. It wasn't spacious but not small maybe 1200 square feet at the most but thats all 2 people needed. It had 1 bedroom and 2 baths with a large living room that had a connected patio where you could see the Hudson. It was on the corner of 76th and Broadway in the heart of the upper west side. It had the view and location for me and Annabeth's double sink vanity in the master bath and an office big enough for us to share.

We had walked into the apartment and had just known. By the time we were done looking through all the rooms we were sold. It was in the middle of our price point at 1.8 so that was a plus too. You see Annabeth and I had just graduated from college almost a year ago and I had been drafted to play for the Yankees in the MLB and Annabeth was climbing her way up the architectural world ladder and we could've afforded more but we didn't see a need for us to spend a lavish amount for our first apartment.

We made and offer the next day the full 1.8, no negotiation, we bought our first place together.

And today was the day we were moving in.

"Percy," I heard Annabeth call from down the hallway in our bedroom. "I can't find...oh wait never mind here it is."

I smiled to myself and reached down to grab another box from the kitchen floor and put it on the granite counter tops.

"K," I called back, "Carter, This says dish ware is this the only dish ware box or..." I called into the apartment hoping Carter could hear me.

She emerged from the living room carrying another box. "No, of course not you guys would have some problems if you only had one box of dishes."

"Right, I knew that."

She just rolled her eyes and wiped her hands on her aero sweat pants taking a scissors and opening the box to unload the dishes. "Max, Spencer, and Nico are bringing the rest of the boxes upstairs right now, Thalias in the living room unwrapping the moving plastic from your couch, Kat and Annabeth are in your guy's room arranging furniture and Sadria, Connor, Sally, Paul, Clarisse, and Chris are coming throughout the day." She informed me.

"You all are life savers I hope you know that." I told her walking away towards my bedroom.

"We know." She called back.

I walked into mine and Annabeth's room, It was a 12 by 16 room with a floor to ceiling window straight in front of me on the furthest wall. The king bed on the wall to my left with a flat screen TV on the right wall. The bed was unmade but the blue and grey comforter lay on the floor along with the white sheets. Kat was putting the white fitted sheet on the bed. Annabeth was facing the floor to ceiling window with her back to me moving around the 2 white arm chairs we had bought to put in front of the window. She placed the blue throw pillows on the chairs and moved the coffee table in front of them adding accessories to the table too.

"Yeah know," I said leaning against the wall, "This may just have been one of my smarter ideas."

Annabeth turned around to face me. A piece of hair fell tot he side of her face from her top knot. She placed her hands on her hips and just just smiled.

"Who said this was your idea." She asked with a smile.

"I did cause it was." I told her walking over and placing my arms around her and she rested her head on my chest.

"What ever you say," She told me getting out of my grasps. "But we need to finish this today so get a move on." She said shoeing me out of the bedroom.

I could hear Kat and Annabeth giggling as I walked back to the living room, It was almost done. It had a 2 tone stripped grey rug on the floor with two grey sofas facing each other with light blue and light green throw pillows on them. Two grey and white patterned chairs say on either end of the sofas. There was a brown wood coffee table in the middle with a see-through glass top on it that had blue glass vases on it. White curtains hung on the floor to ceiling windows but they were pulled back to let in natural light. On one of the walls was a book shelf filled with different books and accessories and on the furthest wall was a brown wooden table with two white lamps and accessories with a bronze pattern art piece hung above the table. It looked really nice to say the least. Thalia sat on one of the chair with her legs crossed smiling.

"Oh yea I did good," She said standing up. "Your welcome." Thank you Thals it looks great." I said hugging her.

"I know" She said smiling.

When everything was done it looked great. The entire place had the white, brown, blue, grey, and green color scheme(Which I loved), and The dinning room had a tan wood table with a see-through glass top with white and tan stripped chairs with indigo plates and napkins, with indigo water and wine glasses and an indigo chandelier to top it all off.

"Kitchens done!" mom yelled into the apartment.

I walked into the kitchen to see almost everyone in there. It was long and narrow but not to narrow that it was claustrophobic. It had white and gray swirled granite with stainless steal appliances. Of course the Green and blue accents were placed accordingly around the counter top.

Annabeth, Thalia, Carter, and Kat walked into the kitchen and Annabeth gasped her hands flew to her mouth.

"Guys." She said at a loss for words. She walked over to the living room and dinning room and gasped again. "It's perfect."

"Thank you all so much." She said hugging all of them.

"Our pleasure." Spencer said "But how about we call for delivery and try out the dinning room." He said and my stomach growled in agreement.

We all laughed and Annabeth called for sushi delivery from Dean and Deluca and It was sooooo good.

We all sat around chatting and I looked around again. The place looked amazing and my favorite part was all the stuff. Everything was a combination between stuff from Annabeth's brownstone from high school, my dorm, stuff mom and Paul had gotten us and stuff we had bought together. It felt like we kept some of our past with the old stuff but the new stuff was a symbol for the future for Annabeth and me and I was so excited to see where our crazy lives would take us. Maybe the gods would give us a break, but knowing our luck probably not.
