Katie McGrath moves to the UK for an acting opportunity but in order to make extra money she takes up a job offer as a lecturer in a university. Little does she know a familiar face from her new set also takes a seat in her first lecture.
#1 in Kati...
I slid my phone back into my pocket and smiled as Katie pulled into the car park of what I immediately recognised as Christopher's. I suddenly felt very underdressed but looked over to Katie to see she was only in jeans and a jumper anyways.
"It's just expensive, not posh, don't worry." She read my mind and I smiled.
"Ok." I smiled and she got out of the car and walked through the entrance.
I had never been inside Christopher's as it was an American restaurant chain and was ridiculously overpriced but I gathered Katie had lots of money being a famous actress and all so this probably meant nothing to her.
"Reservation for McGrath." She told the waiter at the front. Reservation? I only agreed to breakfast half an hour ago.
I looked around the stunning yellow themed room that seemed endless, the eating area was empty and all the tables were set perfectly.

The waiter led us to our seat and we ordered. I had Eggs Benedict and Katie had avocado toast.
We chatted aimlessly for about 15 minutes until our food came and I slowly realised that she'd asked me out on a date. It wasn't obvious at first but now I saw it and as I realised i beamed like the sun.
"Why are you so happy?" She cocked a perfect eyebrow and I blushed.
"I just realised that you basically asked me out on a date." I explained and she smiled.
"Took you a while to work out." She laughed faintly and I looked up at her.
Our food arrived and was placed on the table in front of us, I saw Katie had also ordered some white wine and chuckled softly.
"You're very similar to Lena." I muttered and she looked over at me.
"I couldn't possibly cope having a full day on set after having an alarm wake me up at 4:45am without alcohol." She admitted and I raised an eyebrow at her.
"What?" She asked whilst taking a sip of her wine.
"You said you couldn't sleep, not that you set an alarm." I said before taking a mouthful of my food.
I watched as Katie blushed visibly before taking another mouthful.
"Shhhh this is our secret, don't make me seem like a hopeless romantic." Her Irish accent thickly echoing through the empty room.
"Says the woman who just kissed me in the most aesthetic place possible under trees in autumn leaves." I giggled and she reached for her phone.
I heard the video playing and she smiled at the happy sight unfolding in front of her.
"You're really cute you know." I admitted and she smiled softly.
"I could say the same to you." She looked away from her phone and towards me again.
We kept eating our food in between compliments and Katie paid the bill, I had peeked over the top of the receipt to see it read £85, I refrained from gasping at the incredulous price.
"Ready?" She asked and I nodded, she pulled me closer and kissed me softly, I kissed her back, smiling.
"Sorry, I had an impulse." She grinned and I laughed lightly.
"As long as you don't do it in the middle of a lecture, it's always fine by me." I smiled and she laughed softly before getting into her car, I followed suit.
We drove over to set and the clock on Katie's car read 6:56am. Her timing was impeccable and I wasn't sure how she did it.
"Well, you're with me for the next two hours but then I won't see you again." She smiled sadly and I nodded.
"Got to get back for the mystery parcel." I joked and she grinned again.
"You'll love it." She said before getting out of her car and walking inside.
I followed behind her and heard the car lock behind me. I texted Eliza in a panic.
