64|Bonus Chapter!-2
I heard an intake of sharp breath and cocked my head to the side. Everyone was standing there with wide eyes, looking at Liam in confusion and respect with no trace of pity. The one expression that caught me off-guard was Felix's. He looked beyond shocked and hurt. His jaw was clenching and unclenching. As if Felix expected Liam to open up to him first. I won't lie, the emotion in his eyes made me insecure. I am Liam's bestfriend, he even promised me that if he opens up, I will be the person who will get the pleasure to see darker side of him. If you haven't noticed, I have made it obvious that I am very insecure when it comes to people. I don't like sharing them with others. I looked back at Liam only to find him looking at Felix with a ghostly pale shade. I cleared my throat and grabbed Liam's hand. "If you don't want to talk, we won't bring it up. Okay?" He nodded speechlessly and averted his eyes to the floor as everybody settled in the living room awkwardly. "I am just gonna go. It's getting-" Felix began in neutral voice. "Stay. Please." Everyone was shocked when Liam said these words. His voice edged towards desperation and I felt absolutely helpless. I didn't want to pry in their business but my curiosity was killing me. "I-" "Finn has a quest- what happened here? Who is pregnant now?" Ian frowned and joked as he took in our crestfallen expressions. "Nothing. What were you saying?" Aiden changed the subject smoothly. Ian frowned but shrugged as he helped Finn to climb off him. "So, our Finn liked Janet's nail polish and he wants to paint his nails but Kim says that boys don't paint nails. What to do?" He questioned slowly while feigning innocence. "Kim, what would you like to wear- shirt and pants or skirt and blouse?" Liz questioned sweetly. "I like wearing shirts and pants. I don't like skirts." Kim scrunched her nose and Asher laughed as he sat her on his lap. "But princess, aren't girls supposed to wear skirts?" Kim looked up at Asher and then at Liam in confusion. "But I like to wear them." She whined. Alex chuckled and scooped Finn on his shoulder. "Similarly, our Finn likes nail polish. There is no wrong in it. Right?" She frowned and thought hard while everyone looked at her in hope. "Right." We all beamed while I clapped my hands. "You know what? Let's paint each other's nails, okay?" I smirked mischievously and Rose and Liz cheered while boys gulped. "Yay!" Finn whooped and Alex lowered him. He ran towards kitchen and came back with Janet after a few second. "What do you guys need?" she asked in confusion. "Momma, we need nail paint." Finn asked adorably while tugging on her skirt. She frowned. "Why?" "We're having a nail paint party." Rose smirked and winked at Janet. She instantly understood what was going on as she smirked and nodded. "I will bring all my best shades but promise me Astrid, you'll paint Liam's nail pink." She winked at me while I laughed along with everyone. Liam scowled at his mom even though his cheeks turned deep red. "Aw boo, I am good at nail painting." I pinched his cheeks and he scowled harder at me. I just laughed again. After a minute, Janet bought her nail paint kit along with my dad in tow. "We can't forget him, right?" Dad glared at his new best friends as the wives shared a cheeky grin. "Alright then, let's paint some nails and break the gender stereotypes!" Ian clapped his hand and I was actually shocked that he didn't mind. I smiled at that and we all sat down. Janet painted dad's, Samantha did Finn's, Rose did Asher's, Liz and Aiden paired up, Kim tried to paint Alex's, Ian did Felix's and then Felix did Ian's (even their fingers got painted and I almost spoiled Liam's PINK nail paint in the process.) "This looks nice! Momma, do I look pretty?" Samantha smiled at him and ruffled his hair. "You look really pretty, Finn." He smiled a toothless smile and I swear my heart melted. "You know what? Let's take a selfie!" Ian clapped his hands and everyone muttered in affirmation as he took his phone out while Liam handed selfie stick to him. Together we all pouted while raising our fingers and Ian clicked. "Best selfie ever." I couldn't agree more. the end
