You told me to just forget it so do you want me to do that or not?

Well yes but, I still owe you an apology

Look. . . Just give me time, okay? You can drop off my work at my house. I think its best if im not in the office.

After that I got no reply. I dont get why he is like this. He thinks can do whatever he wants just because he is a god and King!? Ugh!,People have feelings! I scream into my head. I let out a sigh walking into the kitchen and begin to prepare lunch.

"Oh yeah, Rose!" I yell for her. She comes walking into the kitchen and climbs on top of the brown counter sitting down.

"I'm going to the Le Thai Cafe with Cronus tomorrow at 12. Wanna come?" Her face suddenly lights up catching me off guard, she jumps onto me wrapping her legs and arms around me making me stumble.

"Have I ever told you how much I love you?!" I laugh and push her off. I stand back up and offer her a hand pulling her up.

"You are so weird Rosetta." I say while giggling and we start preparing lunch.

"So I can come right?" I nod my head and she hugs me tightly once again.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" She says. Why is she so persistent and weird. Constantly hitting on guys. I mean. . . I guess Cronus is. . . nice looking? I remember how his human form looks with his silky and soft looking light brown hair. His eyes pierce through your very soul as they glisten. His caramel skin seems so-

ANYWAYS. . .

"Just dont be weird, deal?" I say while handing her a plate of food.

"I have NO clue what you mean by weird." She says while smiling and dazing off.

"What are you thinking about then?" I say while smirking and grabbing Cauliflowers plate.

"N-no one!!!" She says nervously while running into the other room. I shake my head smiling. I'm glad I have her in my life. I walk out into the field catching Cauliflower working on the room of the barn. The doors hangs wide open as the hinges cease the exist. Its a faded out red with white lines going across all the supports and borderlines. The wood chips in many places and paint is scraped off. I walk through the doors looking around at the broken stalls and find a crooked staircase in the room to the right. I walk up the crooked staircase to see Cauliflower hopping down from the room and sweeping hay off the second floor.

I knock on the wood to notify him that I'm present and he turns his head around letting the broom sit against the wall.

"Whats this?" He says while i hand him plate of food.

"I thought I might cook some lunch for all of us. I havent been helping out much and I thought since today I dont have any work from Hades I would check out what you were up to and if I could help." He nods his head and takes out a piece of wheat off his mouth. He sits on the balcony of the barn making the wood creak and pats on the wood right next to him.

"Come take a seat with me." I slowly step across the wood careful not to fall through before taking a seat next to Cauliflower. The wood pokes at my skin causing little jolts of pain through my legs and hands but not enough to make me wince.

He takes a bite out of his sandwhich and swallows before he starts to talk.

"What are you doing?" He says while clearing his throat and taking another bite.

"What do you mean?" I say confused at his question. I came here to help him and I already told him that. What could he be asking for?

"With Hades and staying here in the underworld. You were set free, werent you?" Oh. . . His words make me question my choices as well until I remember what happened between me and my mom.
