"You're wearing the ring," Harvey smiled as we stopped in front of my room.

"Of course. Why would I not be?" I asked.

"I love you," he said, putting his hands on my hips and kissing me, sending me into my door. We kissed against my door before I disconnected and opened it.

"I love you too," I grinned and kissed him again, taking his face in both of my hands.

We stopped kissing and began talking and laughing with each other. Then Harvey decided to switch the topic.

"So your birthday, it's soon isn't it?" Harvey asked.

"June 31," I sighed. "And you better not make a big freaking deal about it. Don't go all out!"

"No promises. I can do much better than I did when I gave you the promise ring. You just have to let me."

"Harvey! No!"

"I'm not going to throw you a party or anything like that... I'll just give you a few gifts," He shrugged.

"Nothing expensive, I don't need it."

"You know I can't lie to you," Harvey sighed.

"Harvey!"

"Nope. I'm not listening to you," he said, covering his ears like a child.

"Harvey!" I semi-yelled, but no response.

"Fine. I'll just have to be mad at you when the time comes..." I trailed off.

"Or not be mad at me at all and let me kiss you so we can move on?" Harvey suggested.

I hummed, "Hmmm...I like that idea," and kissed him softly. His hands flew up to my jaw to deepen the kiss while my hands went around his neck.

"Oh- heyyy Harvey..." Vince said as he came in.

"Vince," Harvey greeted, not making a scene like I'd expected him to.

"I am sorry for everything that happened before. It was out of line. Anyway, Jenna wants us to get ready to go to Nandos for lunch since she and Tilly are very hungry."

"So you two have made up?"

"Not long ago..." I shrugged.

"And by that she means this morning," Vince chuckled.

"Look, the first two times I took it easy, but if you ever lay a hand on the girl I love again, you're going to have something coming your way and it's not going to be pretty," Harvey threatened as he stood up.

"Harvey!" I exclaimed because he took me completely off guard.

"I get it. Okay, however, if you break her heart or your promise, it will get ugly."

"Vince!" I shouted at him this time.

"Deal," Harvey stuck his hand out.

"Deal," Vince said in a hard tone, shaking Harvey's extended hand.

I was so confused. Did they just make a deal threatening each other? "I will never understand boys," I sighed, putting my head in my hands.

"You should try being a boy for a day. Girls are so much more complicated."

"Whatever. I've never seen girls make a deal about threatening to hurt each other," I sassed.

"Whatever," Vince rolled his eyes.

"We should go downstairs," Harvey suggested.

"He's right. We should," I said. I knew Harvey couldn't wait for Nandos. It was his favorite.

Harvey looked at me with a look that said, "thank you!" And headed downstairs. Vince and I followed him quickly, him mainly copying off of me.

On the ride to Nandos, we all were talking. We had to go in two cars, so it was Harvey, Max, Jenna, Emma, Tilly, Leo, Sara, Paul, and Andy in one and Clarisse, Andy, and Vince in the other I sat on Harvey's lap, Leo sat on Max's lap, and Tilly sat on Emma's lap so we could fit more people. We still had to squeeze, but it could've been worse.

"This is very tight," Harvey laughed.

"Yeah, but I don't mind. Would you rather skip Nandos?"

"No," he smiled.

"Then what are you pouting for?"

"I'm not pouting. I'm smiling!"

"Why?"

"Because you're perfect,"he told me, kissing my forehead.

"You're a liar, Harvey Kitt Mills," I chuckled, leaning into his chest.

"If I was ever one, it'd definitely be for you," he said sweetly.

Jenna made puking noises, which brought us out of our moment.

"That's disgusting. Stop teasing the single people in the car," she said.

"I second that, but a little less rudely," Jenna agreed.

"I third that," Max said.

I blushed and went back to Harvey's embrace. He chuckled and held me closely, rubbing my back.

"They're still being disgusting," Emma whined.

"Yeah. Can we put them in the other car?"

"No thanks," Harvey replied and nuzzled into my neck, kissing it lightly and leaving it at that. We didn't want another incident, plus we we're in a car literally full of people.

They kept talking, some of it about us, but we ignored it, just hugging each other and making the best out of an uncomfortable situation. That was until Max decided it was best to take a picture of us.

I looked up and craned my neck to see Max taking pictures.

"Max, stop," Harvey said and hugged me again, putting us into a similar position we were in before.

"Unlikely," Max replied and took another picture.

"Max," Sara warned.

"Fine," Max groaned and put his phone away.

I rolled my eyes, but no one noticed because I was in Harvey's chest, which was probably for the better.

I was so involved with Harvey, I didn't realize that we arrived when we did.

"We're here!"
