"Kate table four, its yours" screams Lisa, she's another waitress. "Okay" I simply reply. I walk up to the table and nearly faint. Holy shit it's- "hey I'm Paul Higgins". He says. He's got who I'm guessing is his wife sitting next to him. "H-hi" I barley mumble, standing there, note pad and pen in hand, practically frozen, eyes almost popping out of my head, looking like an idiot. "Hmm, let me guess. Your a one direction fan?" He asks amusement drowning his face. "Y-yeah, you could say that.." I speak awkwardly, what's happening? Am I actually talking to THE Paul Higgins? Personal body guard of one direction? Or is this just an amazing dream? "Haha, I like you!" He reply's smiling. "Okay I'll have, actually, surprise me. Give what your favourite dish is!" He puts the menu down and looks into my eyes, barley smiling. What the hell? Somebody pinch me.. "Uh, I'll have the chicken salad please.." The woman next to Paul said looking as confused as I was. "Okay, I won't let you down" I say, determined to please this guy...

Paul's POV-

"Honey what's wrong? Are you ok?" Asked my wife. "Yeah fine why?" I reply getting slightly worried. "Because you just let a stranger order you food?!" She says as if the answer is obvious. "I don't know, she seems nice. I just wanted to be spontaneous!" I reply. My wife rolls her eyes and her phone starts ringing. She picks it up "I've really gotta take this one babe!" She says before I can reply she runs out of the restaurant. I don't even know why I let the waitress pick for me. The way she was just so honest, yet nervous told me she must be so genuine, and nice... I think the boys would like her a lot. If she's got me liking and trusting her within a matter of seconds, then I can't even begin to imagine how the boys would react. So I come up with a plan. If the meal she brings out is actually good, I'm going to give her VIP tickets to the next one direction concert. I don't even know why. Just because, because I'm Paul that's why! (A/N: you tell 'em Paul! ;P)

Kate's POV-

So I'm in the kitchen, making Paul Higgins some dinner... Never thought I'd say that. But anyway, he asked for my opinion, so I'm gonna give him my opinion. Hmm okie dokie then, for the wife chicken salad. That's a good choice. And for Paul, steak with mushroom sauce and steamed veggies, it's actually Devine! I had it once, and they do something to the veggies, that I can't explain, it just tastes great. And the steak is amazing, especially wi the mushroom sauce. I nice filling meal. Then I jot it all down on the note pad, and give it to the chef. God I hope they like it. To me they are like famous people, I have to impress them, especially Paul!

It only takes about 5 minutes to cook them both dishes. I take the plates over, and Paul and his wife are have a conversation. "Sorry of the wait" I say placing their food in front of them. "No troubles love, thank you!" Says the lady and smiles. I smile back and walk to the next table and take their orders, feeling kind of nervous for some weird reason. It's just food, well not really. It's the opinion of Paul that I'm scared about, what if he hates it. Well if he likes it I was going to ask if he could possibly put in a good word for me with one direction, since he IS their bodyguard. But that's outrageous, I don't even know what I'm thinking, I should just forget about it.

Paul's POV-

The waitress comes back with our orders, she puts it down in front of us, I immediately pick up my knife and fork. She just walks off. Shit, I hope she didn't poison this... The first thing I notice is the big, beautiful looking steak, with some kind of sauce. I dip my finger in it, then lick my finger. Mm, mushroom sauce. This tastes lovely. I soon devour the steak. And then there some veggies. Personally I don't mind veggies. I take a fork-full and put it in my mouth, and chew. Oh my god, what did they put on these veggies? This tastes amazing! Well this meal gets a solid nine out of ten. So I guess that waitress is about to be one happy girl....

Kate's POV-

There's no tables left, it's almost closing time, and I'm the only one left. Paul and his wife call me over for the check. "D-did you like you meals?" I ask nervously. The wife is the first to speak. "Yes it was lovely, thank you!" She beams a smile at me. I look at Paul, his face emotionless, his arms folded over his chest, he takes in a deep breath. Shit.. He then breaths out and smiles. "That was amazing!" He laughs and ruffs up my hair. I smile and sigh of relief. "I told you it would be good!" I smile. Suddenly Paul takes an envelope out of the back pocket of his jeans, and hands it to me, "a tip" he smirks, "you can thank me later.." He smiles, along with his wife. What?! Then they both walk towards the door, "see you in two weeks!" He waved good bye, leaving me more confused then the first time.

After I've locked up and walked back home. I decide to take a long hot bath. When I get out I'm in the middle of attempting to dry my hair with a towel, when I see the envelope sitting on the coffee table. My curiosity gets the better of me and I drop the towel on the floor. I walk to the table, grab the envelope and sit on the lounge. I slowly open the un-sealed envelope. And there they are. Two, VIP, backstage passes to see one direction in Sydney, in two weeks. I feel numb. I sit there in shock for about five minutes. The. I scream. I jump up and down around my lounge room like a lunatic. And I'm pretty sure I woke up the neighbours. I haven't been this happy in like, well ever! I've just been given VIP tickets. To see one direction. From Paul Higgins. Finally something's going my way!
