At exactly 5:15 am, a loud bang echoed at the front door.
Followed by the clinking of glass cups.
Then, the rush of running of water from the kitchen faucet.
And, the rhythmic tapping of the heels on the ceramic staircase.
Bang...
The bedroom door flew open hitting the wall.
"Wakey, wakey," Candace sang out. Without warning, she splashed water from the cup onto Aurora's face.
"Ahh, Candace!!, Aurora roared covering her face with the thick blanket.
"I'm exhausted okay, go away" she grumbled under her breath.
"Well you left me on a cliffhanger making me miss sleep too," Candace giggled.
Candace then slumped herself onto the mattress and mercilessly threw tickle attacks at Aurora, fully waking her up from bed.
Awake now, Aurora sat up straight on the bed and shot Candace a look.
"What are you doing here!?"she yelled slamming her hand on the bed and wiggling her feet repeatedly, clearly irritated.
"You told me to come to your house, did you not?" Candace asked tilting her head to look at her.
"Yes!!", Aurora blurted out as if wanting to cry.
"But not before the sun is even out!!", she wailed on, covering her face with her hands.
"Well I'm here already, so what will you do?" Candace asked crossing her arms across her chest.
"Are you going to kick me out?"
"Will you go, if I ask you to?", she raised her head looking at Candace expectantly.
"Uhh, no," she stated bluntly.
Placing her hand on Candace's shoulders she said, "Okay fine why don't we both take a nap for like an hour or two maybe."
"Then afterwards I will give you all the gist, deal?"
Rolling her eyes although a smile crept up, she agreed.
"I'm guessing you're going on a date or something, so I do think you need your beauty sleep," Candace giggled.
Aurora gave her a halfhearted smile in return.
And they both took a nap.
