When she looks into your eyes...

"Patricia! He's here!" Joy motioned for her red-headed roommate to join her at the window. Reluctantly, Patricia stood up, ignoring the endless un-packing she had to do. "There's Eddie." Joy pressed her tan finger to the window, leaving a smudge. "And there's Mr. Sweet! And Fabes…"

Patricia caught herself off guard. Eddie hadn't necessarily been the thing on her mind today, but he certainly had been during summer-break. Was he seriously that good looking? Patricia felt her mouth open a little bit. She knew her boyfriend was one of the hottest guys in their school, but that didn't seem true until she was seeing him in person.

Her green eyes trailed after Mr. Sweet who collected all of Eddie's bags that he could manage and stumbled up the porch steps of Anubis House. She noticed Fabian run off in another direction, seemingly in a hurry. The cab pulled away, and then it was just Eddie. He picked up the remaining one of his bags and started walking towards the house.

"Well, see you around Joy!" Patricia called over her shoulder, slamming her bedroom door behind her. She darted down the hall, clambered down the stairs, passing Mr. Sweet whom she greeted quickly. Grabbing onto the door handle, Patricia pulled it open hurriedly, running directly into the American.

"I certainly hope I was the one you're in excited about seeing." Eddie laughed. Patricia found her hands lying on Eddie's shoulders, and his around her waist.

"I think so." Patricia responded breathlessly, before bringing her lips to his.

"Three months is too long." Eddie sighed, wrapping her in a tight hug.

"Really?" Patricia giggled. "I would figure you'd enjoy these cheesy clichéd, romantic meet-ups every year."

"Well that does sound quite intriguing." Eddie murmured. "But I'd rather not miss you every day."

The end of Patricia's lip curved into a small smile as her eyes found his. She chose the perfect moment to study his every feature. She realized how different he looked this year, and how wonderful he still managed to look as well. His usually spiky blond hair was flattened and darker, making him look more mature, and much less of a trouble maker. His blue eyes were filled with specks of gold and green. She noticed for the first time how great he looked with a large nose. And while she had thought about this often, she once again dwelled on how perfect his mother had to look. It was impossible that he had gained his attractive looks from Mr. Sweet.

Sighing a quick and awkward, "so," Patricia dropped her gaze as she felt Mr. Sweet brush past her and Eddie uncomfortably.

"So," He looked down, with a smug grin on his face. "My dad's not very considerate, of um… excuse me one second." Eddie gave her a quick wink, before dropping his hold around her and calling to his father, who was already walking swiftly away, "You could have made yourself at home for just five more seconds!"

"Or, you two could just get a room." Jerome muttered, as he walked past them, with the Amazing Alfredo at his heel.

"Actually that's not too bad of an idea Jerry." Eddie teased, placing a soft kiss on Patricia's forehead, and then leading her inside.

…Don't look away until she does.
