I never really put much faith into love. It always seemed to pass me by anyhow. I waitressed at a little restaraunt in Santa Barbara and I was used to the Hollywood stars that would come in and either grab my ass or leave their phone numbers on their receipts. I never called them, and they never seemed to notice the next time they came in. I never cared. Atleast not until Paul walked in. Paul Walker to be exact.
On his arm was a young, beautiful girl of ten who looked very much like him with a huge smile on her face. The hostess sat them at one of my tables on the terrace as she giggled at every stupid thing she said. Paul didn't seem to notice her. I gave them a few minutes before I finally walked over and introduced myself as their waitress for the night.
"Hello, I'm Bella. I'll be your waitress for tonight. Is there anything I can get you to drink?" I smiled politely at them.
"I'll have a coke?" the girl asked looking at her father.
"Make that two," Paul replied with a smile at her.
"Okay. Did you want an appetizer to start off with?" I asked.
"Can we get mozarella sticks Dad?" she looked at him sweetly.
"I don't see why not," Paul replied with a smile at me.
"Okay, I'll just put that in for you now unless you think you're ready. And just so you know our specials tonight are the chicken fettucine alfredo and chicken marseilles, and young ladies eat free tonight," the girl seemed young enough to be called a kid but I didn't want to hurt her feelings.
"Oh, I want chicken alfredo!" his daughter gasped.
"Sounds good. I think we'll share," Paul thanked me and I went to place their order.
I served them, checked on them twice to make sure everything was good and get them refills, and then took care of their bill when they were ready to leave. Paul just smiled at me the entire time, and I hoped I wasn't blushing.
"All set," he said as he handed me back the bill with a smile and led his daughter out of the restaraunt.
I smiled at them and took the receipt to the register as I opened it up. Not only had he left me a hundred dollar bill but his phone number and address as well as a quick note. 'I'd really like you to come over sometime.' I beamed.
"What's with you? He give you a big tip or something?" the hostess asked.
