"Belle."

I groan pushing the hand on my shoulder.

"Ugh, Aurora. Wake up."

"No. let me sleep." I say face in the pillow.

"What?"

I lift my head off of the pillow, "let. Me. Sleep."

"No, grades are out. I'm nervous."

I sit up, my head swirls from the sudden movement.

"You got it?" I ask and he shake his head, I grab his hand and lift my body off of the bed rushing outside.

I spot the laptop on the counter and lean against it trying to enter his info to get the results.

He pushes a mug of coffee my way and stands next to me fidgeting with his hands. I look at his fingers then his face, lips pursed and frowning towards the laptop like it might grow a pair of hands and legs.

"I did not take them off since the day I got them, but here." I slip one of my fidget rings off and slide it in his pinky. It reaches his first Thumbelina, but it'll do the work.

He looks down and smiles twirling the beads, "it works, you know." He slurs placing a peck on my cheek.

We both stand in silence next to each other, nursing on our coffees. The slight light of dawn peeks through the glass walls. It's very quiet now, everybody is asleep and 3 hours left for people to wake up and head for the company.

"It opened." I announce and he straightens cursing under his breath as we look for his name. a good sign, I didn't find mine instantly too. It was deep down on the list towards the top students. Wait.

"Where the fuck- OH MA GOD!" he yells picking me off of the ground, we laugh together.

"Daaamn, JOEYY!" I squeal as he whirls me around and we spend the rest of the day celebrating my brother-in law being the top intern.
