Nick

"We're here," said the driver, skidding to a slow stop in front of the fancy restaurant. I made reservations for Selena and me so that we could actually have a nice seat in the VIP suite; they have these grassy yards where there are two tables (I'm obviously going to have Joe and his 'Olivia' sit with us). I hope the other couple that sits next to us in the yard isn't NJ fans or Selenators... That would ruin the date.

It's not that I hate my fans or Selena's, but I just wanted a nice dinner, talking, and NO CAMERAS.

I lead Selena out as she stared around the big white-dimmed-lighted building. It looked kinda like the white house, mixed with some French architectural buildings.

"Reservations for Jonas," I told the 'bouncer in the tuxedo'. This guy did not look like a bouncer if you're wondering, though he does look somewhat familiar. This guy is in tuxedos and he's skinny with what I define as; 'uncle hair,' you know, the one with the bald head and little hairs on the sides. (You would know if you played Homescapes. Or Gardenscapes, I don't really know.)

"Nick, this is beautiful," Selena whispered into my ear as I smiled. Well, to others, I'm blushing.

"It's all for you," I said, pecking her lips. The bouncer smiled at us as he left.

"That bouncer is so... strange," I pointed out to Selena who giggled into her hands. "Nick?" she breathed after her laughs. "Hm?" I said back, staring at strange silhouettes at the door. "That's called a waiter," she said, trying not to explode.

"Um... yeah, of course, I knew that," I said, cringing. I always cringe whenever I'm trying to deny something, and in this case, I felt really embarrassed. I mean, of course, he's a waiter; he's dressed in that tux, and... his HAIR!

"No, you didn't," Selena grinned as she gently touched my hand.

I exhaled sharply and nodded, "No, no I didn't."

Selena wheezed as I just sat and blushed.

"Oh, hello, what a coincidence," said a voice behind Selena

"Oh, hello, what a coincidence," said a voice behind Selena. I know who it is, by the way, I just don't want to spoil it for you, regarding the fact that you guys are reading a book that does not tolerate spoilers. 

Joe

I pulled up into the parking lot of the huge white restaurant and got out, seeing that Nick didn't tell me to wear fancy! I was like, the only one in jeans and a jacket. Everyone else was wearing tuxedos and suits and... dresses...

I forgot that I froze in my spot and quickly made my way to open the car door for Olivia. "Aw thanks, Joe, I was going to open it myself." Olivia smiled warmly at me as she got out. I'm not very good at being a flirt on these types of dates, more of a gentleman... and I have to say; I'm starting to like it.

A van drove past us in the distance and I saw about four dark shadows in there, crazy waving at me. Fans? Yeah, I don't think any superstar would just wave hysterically at me or at any celebrity like that.

"Do they know you?" Olivia, who also seemed to notice, asked. 

"No, what? No, of course, not- I don't even know who they are," I blabbered, making her smile widely. "I mean, maybe I do, but I don't because I couldn't even see their faces."

"Yeah, okay, let's go," she said, pulling my hand towards the entrance of the restaurant. Darn it, I should've just simply said 'no I don't know them', but instead, I went; 'No- what! No, of course not-', that is so uncool. Full-on denying mode. Not cool.

I walked up to the waiter and he nodded at me, "Jonas?" he asked, making me chuckle, "You already know," I said, making him nod and laugh, "Right this way, MR. JONAS." Olivia had a confused face on as she glanced at me and 'the waiter.'

"He's my Godfather," I whispered into Olivia's ear. Her eyes widened and she replaced her look with a smile, "Oh, that's sweet."

"Yeah, we're really close," I mumbled as we climbed up the few steps into the restaurant behind my Uncle. "Not so close with Nick, though," I added.

I really won't be surprised if Nick forgot Uncle Brown- he has worked here since forever!

He leads me to a grassy yard and stops. He then smiled, "Your brother didn't recognize me," he said, making me chuckle. "As I thought, I'm not surprised, that boy hasn't seen you in over a year," I retarded.

"Yeah, though I feel kinda bad for not spending too much time with him when he was a little kid," Brown said, making me look down, I felt bad, too. Olivia put a hand on my shoulder and I looked up at Brown, "Aight, I'll see you soon, uncle, you should talk to Nick, by the way, he misses you, too."

"I'm sure he does," Brown smiled, patting my back as he said this. "But I think I want him to come to me, you can tell him, I'll be by the door."

"Gotcha," I said, winking at him.

He laughed, letting his head fall back in a laughing matter, "Oh my God, Joe, that is so lame- how many girls have you done that to?" I frowned, "Um, a lot?" Brown continued to laugh, "Omg did they turn you down?"

I cringed, "Um, no? Olivia," I said, referring to Olivia. "I did it to her, she doesn't seem to mind at all."

"Okay, buddy, it does get you," he said, leaving me on the grassy yard. "But it does start to lame out, so I suggest you get a better move." I smiled at his remark/insult.

I looked over to Nick's table and saw that he hasn't noticed me at all. I started to make my way over to them and say in a low mystical voice, "Oh, hello, what a coincidence."

"Joe!" Nick said, getting up from his seat to hug me. "What the hell, dude, what took you so long- oh hey, I'm Nick," he turned to Olivia who smiled and hugged him. "I already know that," she said, making me chuckle. "I'm Olivia."

Nick smiled and glanced at me then back to her, "I already know that, too, Joe told me about you." 

Olivia looked over at me and I grinned and plastered on an innocent look. 

"Boys!" yelled a random guy from behind. I turned and saw that the guy was not a random guy, it was Niall Horan from One Direction. 

"Woah, what- now this is a coincidence," Nick said, turning to hug each one of them. "I actually saw your tweet- did he decline?" Nick asked, I saw fear in his eyes, probably hoping Zayn doesn't come or something. 

"I'm here," said a deep British accent from behind me. Olivia turned around and gasped, pulling her hands to her mouth. "Omg you're Zayn Malik," she breathed, making me sweat, this is one of those times where Zayn steals every girl that gets with me- first it was Gigi, I really hope Olivia doesn't ditch me for... him. 

"Yes, last time I checked," he chuckled, making Selena, Olivia, and the 1D boys laugh.

"Um, so you guys better get to your seat across the yard," Nick cleared his throat making me glance nervously at him. "Yes, we do, have you ordered?" Niall asked, putting his hands behind his back as he twisted his body around, fidgeting.

"We will order once you guys get out," Nick mumbled under his breath so that only Selena, Olivia, and I heard. I tried to muffle my laugh as Zayn frowned, "Sorry, what was that?" he asked leaning towards Nick, who was a great actor as he pulled up a nice normal look to mask his annoyance, "We will order, you guys should leave us to it, you know," Nick looked at each one of them as Selena pressed her lips together, looking down.

"Yeah, of course, let's go, boys," Liam said, leading them back to their table.
