Pacey walked into the B&B to find his girlfriend's head in a textbook fast asleep. He smiled at her as he put the bag of groceries down and softly rubbed her hair through her fingers.
"Hi." She whispered as she lifted her head. "Hey." He whispered as he kissed her lips.
"What time is it?" She asked softly as she rubbed her eyes. "Like five o'clock."
Pacey pulled her into his arms as he kissed the top of her head. "I know you are stressed about exams but sweetheart maybe you should take a nap if you are sleeping in your textbook."
"No it's ok, I have to study or else. I'm not going to take this test."
"Joey, how late were you studying last night?"
"Not that lateā¦"
"Joey."
"Just till two in the morning," Joey whispered as she rested her head on his chest and slowly started to close her eyes.
"Ok, you are going to bed now," Pacey said.
"But Pacey-"
"I will wake you up in thirty minutes and then you can try again. Ok?"
"Fine," Joey said as she was about to get up. But Pacey beat her to it.
"Pacey, I am not too tired where I can't walk." She scolded him.
"I know, but until I can't pick you up anymore. I am going to carry you till we are old and gray." He said with a smile.
Joey rolled her eyes as he then put her on her bed.
"Promise me, you will wake me up in thirty minutes?"
"I promise," Pacey said as he tucked her in. Joey smiled up at him but a couple of minutes later she was snoring away.
