The only reason y'all are getting this, is because it's 1am and I can't sleep. So enjoy

It was only about halfway through your long shift at work. And it wasn't helping that it was a slow night. Your manager had pulled out all the random jobs like cleaning the most random shit. Ahhhhh hospitality.

You were a waitress at little restaurant in manhattan, and it actually wasn't half bad. It was a nice restaurant, open until late at night because it doubled as a diner too. You had gotten the job after starting college to try and save all you could (gotta love that student life). After about a year here, you'd gotten the hang of it and enjoyed the people you worked with. The only downside was the dickhead customers. But most of the time you were pretty blessed with a decent clientele.

As you scrubbed the coffee pots you heard a group of people loudly push their way into the diner. You scowled your face; ironically, seeing as though you had been begging for customers the past 30 minutes. You turned around and saw them take a seat in the booth. After putting down the coffee pot you decided to head over with your notepad in hand and greet them.

"Hi guys, can I get you started with anything?". You hadn't realised but they were actually a really cute group of people, especially this one not sitting closest to you on the left. You glanced at him, but was shook out of your trance by the girl in the far right corner saying something. "Could I have a Diet Coke please and I'll grab some fries to share as well", she smiled at me and seemed really friendly, she was also stunning (guess who).

They all proceeded to order, and I headed back to the kitchen so our cook could start on the food, I then began in their drinks up at the bar. As I was making the drinks the cute boy came up to the counter and sat at the bar. "Hey" "Heyyy" I said a little confused. "My names Jack", oh my days he wants to talk to me. "Im y/n" I said a little unsure. "That's a really pretty name" he said, and I we bright red. Why am I so nervous right now. Get it together bitch. I turned around so he couldn't see my face, continuing to make their drinks. "Here's your drink. But don't you wanna sit with your friends?", I said after gathering them all on a tray ready to head over.

"To be honest, I love those guys but I've just spent like the last 48 hours with the same people and I'm looking to talk to literally anyone else" he laughed. That was kind of backhanded but I'll let it slide. "Why have you been with the same people", he looked back at his friends; them subtly looking at his conversation with me. "Ok so like. I'm kind of an actor" he said almost cringing at it "and I've been doing a press tour all week. That's why we're here in the city." He paused like he was contemplating something, then he added "ok I know that probably sounds fake or like I'm an egotistical asshole but I literally promise I'm not lying". I laughed "I never said you were. But show me some evidence of this" I said half joking.

He pulled out his phone and showed me his instagram, along with all the promo stuff for Avatar: the way of water. Oh shit

"Oh so your like famous famous" I said, legitimately shocked. "Well technically I'm not really that famous, just in a famous film. But all these guys are in it too" he pointed to his friends.

We walked over to the table, drinks tray in hand. As I handed them their drinks Jack introduced me to them all "this is Bailey, Trinity and Jamie". They all said hi and I excused myself back to my work, because one: I was kind of needing to fangirl in peace and two: I didn't wanna weirdly linger.

After about 20 minutes they were done with their food and drinks and they all started to head out. But Jack came up to the counter.

"Here. And it was really nice to meet you" he winked. He slided me a napkin folded in half. He then walked out with his friends and I waved goodbye. After the left I opened the napkin and it read "your really chill. I like you. Hope this can help you out a bit" inside the fold of the napkin was like a few hundred dollars. You were so suprised but felt kind of bad for some reason. You ran out of the diner and looked around to see if he was still there.

You spotted him not far down the road, so ran up to him. "Hey what's this for?" A genuine reaction. He turned around, his friends just behind him. "I saw the NYU badge on your bag and figured your a college student, you offered really good service and a really good conversation. Plus I just did a billion dollar movie. So please just let me tip a little more than usual." He said with a kind smile on his face.

"You know I should be offended by this. Honestly I can't accept it." He looked around smirking a bit. "Ok what if, as an apology, I took you out in a date". Ok what

You were so taken aback you just stood there wide eyed and mouth open. "Ok here's my number. Are you free tomorrow night? I'm gonna take you to dinner" he said pulling another napkin out his pocket and handing it to you. "I was gonna give it to you before but chickened out" he said laughing. You still stood there flabbergasted looking like an idiot. "Ok well I'll call you later or you can call me if you prefer" he said "I- uh yeah sure" you spectacularly added.

He turned and walked away, giving you a quick glance before fully walking away. You shuffled back inside trying to comprehend what just happened.

Hehe he likes me you thought to yourself
