At 5:59 we pulled up to the Italian diner. Niall came around to my door and opened it, saying, "c'mon KitKat! I'm hungry!"
"You're always hungry Ni!" I countered.
"I suppose you're right," He says chuckling, linking my arm in his, "but it doesn't change the fact that I'M STARVING!!!!!!!!!" He yelled.
"Well fine! Let's get you you're food cuz I'm STARVING too!" I yelled back.
"Race ya!" Niall yelled as he ran for the door. I was a step behind him when we burst through the door of the tiny restaurant. There was like 12 people sitting at various tables and they all looked over 70 years old. The quiet conversations and chatter stopped and all the old bifocaled eyes stared at us. Then I saw my dad. He was sitting at a table in the back corner with none other than Gina and Zella May.
I pointed him out to Niall and we walked over. "Dad? Can I have a word with you?" I hiss in his ear as we hug.
"Of course hun." he says back as we walk out of the small restaurant.
"Why are they here? I ask referring to Gina and Zella May.
"I thought it'd be nice to take them out."
"But Dad! They can't know about Niall! And he's here! I didn't know they'd be here! I wouldn't have invited him if I'd have known!" I was screaming now.
"Honey! Please please respect them for me." He said as he walked back inside. Having no other choice I followed him.
Huffing, I slid into the chair next to Niall. "It's okay babe. They don't seem to know who I am." he whispered in my ear.
"Hello, I'm Poppy and I'll be your waitress tonight, can I start you off with something to drink?"
We all ordered and started looking over the menu. I decided on spaghetti and meatballs. She came back and gave us our drinks and took our order. After she left Gina tried to make conversation.
"So, Katie who's this?" she asked. I looked at Niall.
He spoke up. "I'm Niall ma'am. Katie's friend."
Zella May's eyes widened. "Y-y-you're N-N-Niall? As in The Niall Horan? OhMyGosh!!!! I LOVE you guys! Can I have your autograph?"
"Oh, um, yeah...sure, I guess." Niall said, clearly taken aback.
"Thanks. Sign my shirt?" She asked, pulling a sharpie out of her pocket and turning it around. That's when I realized that she was wearing a 1D shirt. This night couldn't get any better.
We exchanged some very very boring small talk until out food arrived.
"Wow! Look at all this spaghetti!" I said. On a platter was a mountain of spaghetti and sitting atop this mound was a meatball.
"Better start eating then KitKat." Niall smirked, his lasagna already almost a fourth of the way gone.
Just as I go to put fork into the spaghetti, my chair moves just enough to send my arm into my plate flipping it into my lap. The meatball, stupid thing, decided to land in my bra.
"Katie! Are you okay?" My dad jumps up. Niall is already handing me napkins. I wipe off my glasses just in time to see Gina hand my dad some money, grab Zella May's hand and lead her away, out of the restaurant. Just before disappearing she waves and smiles at me.
"Oh dear! What happened over here?" Poppy comes back, her eyes wide.
"My daughter, she can be a little clumsy sometimes. It's nothing to worry about. Can we get boxes and the check please?"
"And maybe a couple more napkins." Smirks Niall.
"Yes, yes of course." She smiles at me and turns on her heel.
After we get the boxes and the majority of the spaghetti off, we head back to the hotel, I ride with my dad. It's a very very awkward car ride. He doesn't speak, just consitrates on the road, his jaw set. "Dad, look-" I begin. But he cuts me off
"We will talk later Hun." After that 5 word sentence that silenced all conversation, I sat in my seat, trying not to think of Niall, the other members of 1D, the paparazzi, or what the headlines will be tomorrow.
