Olivia's POV:

The first thing I sense is the rich smell of Josh's cologne and something draping over me. I don't know what that weight is or why I can smell his cologne so I heave my eyes open. Sure enough, Josh is fast asleep, his arm around me. My face gushes red. Fuck. Josh Hutcherson is asleep next to me, hugging me. If only the press knew this. Everyone in the world would think we're dating. I don't bother trying to move his arm so I relax my body, and close my eyes. I listen to the slow, steady sound of Josh's breath. I think about last night. What did Josh say last night? I heard him say something but it was to late for me to get back up. I'll ask him later. I think about the events of yesterday when I notice Josh blink. His eyes haven't opened but I know what I saw.

"JOSH YOU'RE AWAKE!"

I hear him sigh. "Yeah I woke up before you.."

"And you decided to stay there?"

"Yep. It's comfy"

"can I go now then?" I place the palms of my hands on the mattress and push my body up but Josh doesn't move his arm.

"Nope. I'm to comfortable now"

"Josh if I can't get up you're gonna get slapped"

"Please, like you could hurt me"

I raise my hand and put tons of strength into one slap, which made a loud sound. It's not the only thing that made a loud noise though.

"OW! Jeez I'm sorry! You can get up!"

"thanks" I get up and do the one thing I know he hates. I ruffle his hair. I don't actually know how I figured out he hates it, I just know. He faceplants the mattress, holding the middle finger up at me.

"Aww love you too josh" I say, making a loud kiss noise. I leave the room and try to find Maddie. I need to tell her that I'm going on a date with Connor. I find her in the kitchen with him, laughing. I feel really bad now because Maddie doesn't laugh a lot. She's always got shit going on with her foster Mom. I would hate to be in foster care, she's so brave. "Maddie.. Can I talk to you?"

"Mhm" her mouth is obviously stuffed with food. I see her swallow and a huge lump travel down her throat. She leaps out of her chair and strolls over to me. I grab her wrist and pull her out of the room.

"I'm really sorry" she looks at me, puzzled.

"Josh set me up with Connor and we're going on a date tonight. But don't worry! I don't like Connor so I'll just tell him that tonight!" she laughs. Why is she laughing?

"Liv I don't care if you go on a date with Connor! I know you don't like him. It's pretty obvious who you like!"

My face, once again, turns vibrant red.

"Just have fun tonight with him! And you better tell me all about it!"

"I will! Don't worry, it will be your turn soon" I wink at her and walk away. I go to josh's room and see he is finally up.

"Are you excited for your date tonight?" he teases

"Do I need to slap you again? You're lucky I agreed! Why do you even want me to go on a date with him?"

"All part of my master plan?"

"But seriously Josh! You're friends with Liam Hemsworth and Jennifer Lawrence and you set me up with your brother! I don't give a fuck that I'm straight! I would gladly go on a date with Jennifer Lawrence! But no, You had to set me up with your brother!"

"I can't blame you, I would wanna go on a date with Liam as well" he tells me. I glare at him, struggling to hold in my laugh, a smile creeping on to my face. I turn away and tell Josh,
