Everything's not what it seems

Liv's POV
I still haven't wrapped my head around the fact I kissed Harvey. The thoughts flooded my mind, the feeling I had in my stomach as I kissed him, it was like nothing I had ever felt before. I was brought out of my thoughts by someone tapping my shoulder, it scared me. I looked and saw Harvey. "Hey Harv, you scared me." I said, laughing slightly.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." He laughed. "You just seemed out of it, so I wanted to check on you."

"Well that, and the fact me and Harvey have been saying your name for about an hour, and Taome for half an hour before that." Max laughed.

"Oh, sorry I didn't realise I had been thinking for so long." I said.

"It's ok, Zoe wanted Taome to go back to yours, so she left, after trying to get your attention for half an hour. So, what were you thinking about?" Max asked.

"Oh ok, and nothing important." I said.

"It's clear whatever you were thinking about is bothering you, you're biting at your thumb again." Harvey said, pulling my hand away from my mouth, grabbing my other one and holding them both in his hands. "You can tell me anything Liv, you know that."

"I know I can, and I will, just not now." I said, looking him in the eyes.

"Ok, whenever you're ready." He said, stroking his thumb on the back of my hand.

"I'll leave you two to whatever this is." Max said, and walked out of the living room and up the stairs, to I'm assuming his room.

"So, what were you thinking about?" Harvey asked, letting go of my hands.

"Oh, I was thinking about when I kissed you, I felt something I've never felt before." I admitted.

"Like what?" He asked.

"Well, I erm, I felt happy, sick but not a bad sick, I felt-" I was cut off by Harvey grabbing my hands again.

"I'm not letting go of you this time." He said, and holding them tight. "Carry on."

"I felt like I was home, even though my home is down the road, I felt this weird feeling, I don't know how to describe it." I admitted, blushing.

"Did it feel like you were complete? Like a hole in your heart, that you didn't even know you had, was full?" Harvey asked, his big brown eyes staring deeply into mine.

"I guess, thinking about it, yes it does." I said, kind of shocked that he knew that.

"I felt the same." He said, squeezing my hands. "So, now that we've got all our feelings out the way, ok that sounds bad, I'm just not very good at explaining feelings. I was wondering if you wanted to go camping this weekend, just after Christmas?"  He asked.

"I'd love to!" I said, excited.

"Just us two, watching the sunset, starting at the stars. And maybe even watch the sunrise in the morning." He said, then it hit me.

"A fan never asked about the dream date thing for the video did they?" I asked.

"Maybeeeeee." Harvey blushed.

"Were you a chicken?" I asked giggling, I didn't get a response so I shouted Max. "Max! Was Harvey being a chicken and make you ask the question about dream dates?"

"Yes! So he finally did it?" Max shouted down.

"Yep!" I shouted up.

"Can you guys stop shouting please. And can we please watch Once Upon A Time?" Tilly asked, and that's exactly what we did. I sat snuggled up to Harvey under a blanket, and Max sat with Tilly, we watched about 3 episodes, which resulted in 2 hours of us sitting on the couch watching them. Max was really into it and wouldn't let Tilly have toilet breaks. "Harveyyy, can I please go to the toilet?" Tilly asked looking really innocent.

"Ask Max." Harvey said smirking.

"Maxxxxxxx pwetty pwease." Tilly begged.

"You can now, we've finished watching the show." Max laughed as Tilly leapt up and ran to the bathroom.

"That was pure evil Max, you're supposed to be the nice twin." I laughed.

"Oh well, Harv, when do we need to go to Manchester?" Max asked, turning to Harvey.

"What's the date today?" Harvey asked and I pulled out my phone.

"It's the 20th." I said.

"Tomorrow, we should probably get packing." Harvey said.

"S**t, we should start now if we're staying until Wednesday." Max said.

"What you doing?" I asked.

"We're filming FOMO 6-4 on Tuesday, then we have Podcast stuff 5-9, and then a meeting at half past 9 to talk about me dying my hair." Harvey said, laughing at the end bit.

"He's not kidding, look it's on our calendars." Max said showing me his phone screen, with a very full calendar.

"You guys need to take a break, your calendar is full!" I said shocked.

"We don't take breaks." Max shouted running upstairs.

"Come on Liv." Harvey grabbed my hand and dragged me upstairs.

We all sat in Harveys room, whilst he was packing, when he finished Max started trying to push me off Harveys bed. "You're messing with the wrong person." I laughed and pushed him, making sure I didn't push where he had his operation.

"Ow, oh my gosh!" Max said, and continually said 'ow'.

"I'm not helping you." Harvey said. "This is a teaching moment, learn from this Max."

"Why would you put your suitcase there?" Max asked, still groaning in pain.

"I didn't think, 'oh this is a hazard, Max is going to lose a fight against Liv and fall on it' I just put it there." Harvey replied. (A/N I tried to add in something from the 'Do We Have Girlfriends?!' Video from 2018, man that's 3 years ago this year [5 years this year now I'm re-editing it!!!] I switched it up a bit so it fits the book, but yeah)

"I didn't think you'd be able to push me off, no offence but you look like you'd be really weak." Max said to me.

"I am, I can't lift Penny into the bath, Bella watched me struggle." I laughed. "But, I can have strength when I want to. My dad tried to get me off a chair once, so I kicked him, straight over a table, I was very upset because he crushed all my Pringles." I laughed.

"In the nicest way possible, how much do you weigh?" Max asked me.

"Last time I went for an asthma checkup, I was 41 kilos, so I'll go with that." I said.

"No wonder Harvey can chuck you over his shoulder, he's very wea- ow!" Max said as Harvey slapped him. "Anyway, I'm gonna go pack my suitcase, see you on the 23rd Liv."

"See you Max, I'm gonna go home now cause it's almost 7, bye Harv." I said and hugged Harvey.

"Bye Liv, see you on the 23rd" Harvey said hugging me back, and I went home to walk Penny and Daisy.
