Falling for the Foreigner

Chapter 39-Well who does't love Jack Dawson?

I crash onto my bed as soon as I reach home. My mom doesn't allow me to have dinner in bed even today and calls me downstairs just as I am about to sleep. She has cooked some amazing chole for me today because she knows its my favourite home-cooked dish. We talk about my entire trip and I show them all my pictures from Madame Tussauds and the Santa Monica Pier. We all have a good time and then I go up to finally sleep. 

Before I know, it is the week for the finals and I am tired. I haven't been going to school to catch up on my missed studying. My mom hasn't been allowing me to go out with my friends, well that is nothing new since that happens before every exam.I will finally be meeting with  them today in school. All of them have been studying too, but with less restrictions. I put Jake's gift in my bag before leaving for school.

"Omg! It is Nyra Sharma finally!", Wesley exclaims and hugs me.

"The nerd is back out of her hole", Jake says.

"Yea I have heard that before", I say.

"We are going for coffee later and you can't say no. See you guys", Amy says and leaves without waiting for my reply.

"The test results came in yesterday", Liam says.

"What is it? what is it? what is it?", I speak in full speed.

"Calm down. So the gender is...."

"Is?"

"The gender is....you'll find with everyone else", he says and I smack him on his arms and he just laughs rubbing the spot I hit him.

"I should get the advantage of being your girlfriend", I pout and give him my puppy eyes look.

"No baby, but I need your help with the party"

"You'll tell me the gender then?"

"Nope. But you are gonna help me after the finals. Bye. Best of luck", he says and leaves.

'Is anybody gonna wait for me to answer?", I yell at his back and everybody passing by look at me weirdly and I just ignore them and walk to my class. The psychology paper was quite easy and I felt I did well. But I also know my result comes bad when I think that. I text my mom that I'll be late, I know I will hear tantrums when I get home, but I think I need the coffee too. We go to the nearest Starbucks and sit there for some time catching up. I give Jake his gift and he opens it immediately. I get him a miniature statue of Leonardo Di Caprio, the world wide crush.

"Leooo", he says and laughs.

"You wouldn't care about Ariana Grande or Jennifer Lopez, so I got you this"

" Well who does't love Jack Dawson?", he says and he keeps it in his bag. My mom gives me a lecture on how I should not waste my time during exams when I get home.

It seems the week is stretched forever before the exams finally get over. Liam comes over to my house to start planning for his mother's gender reveal immediately because its only 2 days away.   

"Do your parents like to get messy?", I ask.

"Oh no no no, my mum will lose her mind."

"So one thing I was thinking will not happen." He asks me what my Idea was and I tell him I was thinking. I tell him about my idea of spraying paint on their white t-shirts revealing the gender, to which he immediately disagrees.

We discuss about many ideas which he says are 'too common'.

"Doing this with you so much more difficult than I thought it would be", I say tired of all the ideas.

"Well sorry for trying to organise the best gender reveal for my parents, for their final kid"

"I don't wanna argue with you right now, we need to come up with an idea and book stuff like the caterer by today", I say in no mood to fight .

"What do your parents like? As in hobbies or things", I ask.

"Well, my mom loves cooking and my dad loves...cars and football"

"As in my football or your football"

"My football", he says with the look that he gives me every time I call soccer football.

"So maybe....we can do a thing where your parents sit in the car and start driving and colourful smoke comes out, or we could get them a football ball filled with colour or even like  eggs, where they crack it and paint comes out", I give him my list of ideas related to his parents' interests,

"Now that's what we were looking for pez", he says.

"I think I know which one I am gonna go for out of 3 options", he says with eyes gleaming from excitement. We call the caterers, the decorators for the event. He had already sent out the invitations and 90% of the people had already RSVP'd. Everything was finally in place. We made the final calls for the actual reveal before lying down on my bed.

"Thank you for everything", he says kissing me.

"This kid means a lot to you, doesn't it?", I ask with my head on his chest.

"It does and soon it won't be a it, it will be a he/she", he says running his hands through my hair.

"Do you think I'll be a good brother, you know considering the age difference?"

"Obviously you will. I know how kind you are and you do anything to protect people you leave. I will never forget the day you punched that guy  for me. Also, there is nothing more sexier and cute than seeing a hot guy with kids"

"Hey, come downstairs for dinner kids", my mom walks into the room without knocking.

"Can you please knock??", I say to her and she leaves without acknowledging my request. Some things never change.

"I am sorry aunty but I won't be staying for dinner, have to go with my dad to pick his clothes for the party. Bye uncle. See you at the party", he says to both of them before leaving. He comes in to kiss but I pop my eyes out at him reminding my parents are here and he hugs me instead. I still am not that comfortable to kiss in front of them.
