Chapter 52 (Joy's pov)

I hated this. Even though there was only four of us, Alfie made me sit in the trunk.

"Can I please sit with you, Patricia?" I asked.

"I would let you, but it's Alfie's car."

I kept getting tossed back and forth in the back. I was hitting stuff such as books (he reads?), bongos (why were they there?), buckets, a suitcase (he has a job?), and purses (were those Amber's or...?).

"Alfie, can I please sit with Patricia?"

"Not going to happen."

"Why not? I live with your soon-to-be wife!"

"I don't want you to."

(Nina's pov)

"Is this really necessary?" I asked Amber, who was painting my nails.

"Yes. It's always necessary!" She replied.

"I'm with Nina." Mara agreed. Amber was painting her nails, too.

"After your nails dry, we'll do face masks."

"What about you?"

"My nails are already done and Mick is going to help with the face masks and massages."

"Wait, does Mick know this? We're having massages, too?" Mara questioned.

"He will soon. If you're not comfortable-"

"It's ok!" Mara said as Mick walked in.

"I'm here, Amber! What did you...? Oh, no." Mick tried to run out of the room, but Amber grabbed him.

"You're just going to put our face masks on and massage Mara."

"Why only me?"

"Because I'm getting married and Nina has a boyfriend."

(Amber's pov)

After Nina and Mara's nails dried, I handed Mick the things for the face masks.

"You're only putting mine on, so you better not mess up." I told him.

"I won't. I've done this a thousand times." He said as I put the cucumbers on Mara's eyes.

"Good." I spread the face mask on Mara's face and moved over to Nina.

"Are you sure about this?" She asked as I put the cucumbers on her eyes.

"Of course! What could go wrong?"

"A lot of things."

"Shut up so I can put the face mask on." I sighed as I got ready to spread it on her face.

"Amber, don't you think we should be worrying about Fabian and Alfie?"

"No, they're fine."

"Ok." She gave in and I applied the face mask.

"Now, Mick, do mine." I sat down and waited for Mick.

"Mick!" Mara yelled.

"Sorry, I was getting something to eat."

"Go wash your hands. We can't have that in it."

"Whatever." He rolled his eyes as he went into the bathroom.

(Mara's pov)

"Ok, you guys, we let them dry for like half an hour or something like that and then wash them off." Amber ordered.

"What about you?" I asked.

"Mick put mine on."

"Oh, ok."

"Mick, don't eat the face mask stuff yet. We have to leave some for Joy and Patricia." She yelled.

"What exactly is the 'face mask stuff'?" Nina questioned.

"The stuff I just put on your face."
