Right in front of me (max and harvey)

Chapter 12

Harvey's POV
"I was just trying to help Bex" Max says
"Trying to help her... how?"
"I was trying to help her with Zach"
"So you want them to date? Woah okay" I say really mad
"No, no, no" he laughs "I want her to date you"
"After you break her heart or what?"
"What do you mean?" He asks
"Well, you two are apparently dating so you tell me" I say crossing my arms
"Harvey, we are not dating"
"Then why were you holding hands and said that you were dating?" I say
"Didn't you listen to what I've been saying? Bexley is all yours, the only reason why we told Zach that was because he was cornering her and wouldn't leave her alone so I did that to save her from him"
"Okay? But now what?"
"I don't know, but I'll come up with something, okay?" Max says

Bexley's POV
*later that day*
"So how do you feel because you'll be with your love in a few minutes?" Hana asks me smirking while I get out of my house to go over to the Mills' house
"Couldn't be more excited" I say sarcastically
"Oh come on, why would you not be happy to see your crush?"
"I don't know. I guess I'm not in the mood" I say shrugging

I am rarely ever in the mood. People call me moody and I won't say they're wrong. I don't usually have a smile on my face. That's not me. Right now I'm not really sure of how I should feel. I mean, my best friend likes my crush and my crush most likely likes her.

*flashback*

"Don't look behind you" Liv said
"It's okay, you know, he's not worth it anyways" Hana said hugging me
That's the moment I realized something wasn't okay. I turned around and saw Zach kissing Sky.

*back to the present*

I gulp staring straight forward
"Are you okay?" Hana asks me
"Yeah" I say faking a smile

It hurt me a lot to remember what had happened, mainly because it was very likely I'd have to go through that again soon, maybe not in the same circumstances, but it's the same. It would hurt.

Harvey's POV
"Harvey, calm down" Max says as I walk around the house aimlessly and cracking my knuckles, looking extremely nervous "it's not like she hasn't come here before"
"I know, I know. It's just... you guys weren't fake dating before"
"She knows it's fake. She knows I don't like her" he says fixing his hair

Bexley's POV
I am now wondering, there must have been a reason why Max said I was his girl. Maybe he actually likes me. He wouldn't have said that without a purpose

Harvey's POV
"And why did you tell Zach she was your girl? Couldn't you have told him something else?" I ask sitting on my bed and looking at him
"That's only the first thing I came up with, but it doesn't mean anything to me. He wouldn't have left her alone if I had told him something else. You know he doesn't want her as a friend. He wants her as something more than just a friend and you still somehow like to spend time with him but okay, it's your choice" Max says looking at himself in the mirror
"He's kinda cool"
"That's what you think? He stalks Bexley and has kissed her without her wanting that. He's the competition, Harvey! I hope you think the same way about him when he steals your girl" he says getting defensive
"Okay, you're actually right. But do you think she likes me anyways?" I ask scratching the back of my neck
"Well, didn't you hold her hand the other day and she didn't move it or say anything?
"Oh, right"
"Maybe she liked it" he says

Bexley's POV
"Did you know Harvey held my hand the other day?" I told Hana since I'm supposedly in love with Harvey and since I can't seem to stop thinking about it
"Really? When did that happen?"
"When I was at the park the other day, after Zach tried to apologize and everything. I went to cry under a tree and then Harvey came and held my hand while trying to cheer me up"
"How did that feel?"
"I... well... I guess I kind of froze so I actually didn't move my hand nor told him anything" I say trying to think of an answer

I didn't really have the perfect answer to that question. It didn't feel wrong. Something inside me really liked it and would love to have that happen again.

I look to the left and see their house

"Let's keep talking later, okay?" I told Hana
"Uh huh"

We knock on the door

Harvey's POV
"Max, I think they're here" I shout from my room to wherever it is that he is
"You go open, I'll be down in a few minutes" he yells

I crack my knuckles one last time before opening the door. When I open it, my eyes immediately find Bexley's.

Bexley's POV
Harvey opens the door and the first thing I see are his eyes. We stare at each other's eyes like we're staring into each other's soul. Weird. Very weird.

Harvey's POV
Her eyes are so pretty, well, everything about her is pretty. I wish I could tell her what I feel but I don't think it's the moment.
Looking at her eyes just reminds me of how much I like her

Bexley's POV
Why can't I stop staring at him? It's like some evil force is controlling me. Some part of me likes it and I know it may sound cheesy, specially coming from me, but I feel a connection. A real one. Wow. Too much. I close my eyes for a second and then look away. But then something makes me look back at his eyes, and we start our staring contest again.

"Well... um... hello I guess" Hana says without making us break our eye contact
"Oh... yeah. Hi" I say still not looking away and trying to act normal. Like he wasn't affecting me at all
"Hi" he says gulping and lets out a nervous laugh

Then we go inside
