                                  by: Andrew W


It was the first day in three weeks that Andrew was able to sleep in.
Between extra shifts at the restaurant and full time classes in college
Andrew Williams was stretching himself pretty thin, but he had a mission
to complete school and be able to pay for it without loans.  The phone
was ringing, Andrew wanted to ignore it, pretending the world did not
exist until at least noon, but he was a conscientious person, and had to
answer it.

"Hello" he said sleepily.

"Hey Andrew, its Heather hope I didn't wake you up." A chipper yet
stern voice said on the other end.

"No you didn't. I'm always up this early on days when I don't have
class or have to work." He said sarcastically.

"Good cause I need a favor." Heather said chuckling slightly at his
tone.

"Why did I even answer my damn phone?"

"Because you are my best waiter and I have special guests coming in
today and upper management wants the best employees catering to them so
the hotel can make a good impression."

"Ugh...why can't Abbey work? You've known her longer and she is just as
good as me. Plus this is like my first day off in three weeks and she is
so much better at being happy than I am." Andrew said with a whiney
voice.

"I already recruited her. I just need you now and we are all set. Plus,
I'm doing you a favor and you will love me forever when you get here and
find out who our guests are."

"Oh my god...Heather, you're not going to tell me who it is that you're
dragging me in for at 10 in the morning?"

"No it's a surprise. So I will see you in an hour and oh it's like 20
degrees out. You might want to dress warmly. Upper management said that
you and Abbey can wear what you want since you're only coming in to help
with the special guests. So do yourself a favor and look cute. Bye."

Andrew hung up the phone and sighed heavily. He rolled out of bed and
made his way to the bathroom in his apartment. `Leave it to Heather to
call me this damn early in the morning.' Heather Riley was Andrew's
best friend. She was one of the main reason's he had chose Boston to go
to nursing school. She had gotten him a job as a waiter at the hotel she
worked at. Abbey McAllister was Heather's best friend. Andrew had met
Abbey through Heather and two had been good friends ever since, even
though they really had nothing in common.

`What have I got myself into now?' he thought to himself while looking
in the mirror. Andrew stood about 5'11 and due to playing tennis and
being on the swim team in high school he weighed a good 160 lbs and had a
nice toned build. He kept his natural brown hair dyed black and for some
flavor added subtle streaks of dark purple that only showed when he
spiked his hair. He rubbed the sleep out of his steel blue eyes and made
his way to the shower. The hot water running down his body woke Andrew up
fairly quickly. After about 10 minutes, Andrew exited the shower and made
his way back to his bedroom and into his walk in closet. He hated the
fact that he was rushed for time because it always took him forever to
get ready and this he knew. It wasn't that he was indecisive about what
to wear or needed his hair to be absolutely perfect; it was just the fact
that Andrew was proud of his looks and always took the time to make sure
he looked his best, no matter where he was going or what he was doing.

`At least I don't have to wear my uniform today. That's probably the
only good thing about having to go in today.' He thought to himself as
he was deciding what to wear today. He was still a little upset that
Heather had called him in. Sometimes it really sucked being best friends
with the general manager of the hotel. He could never say no to her.
While she may have been the general manager of the hotel, Andrew was in
charge of the servers and hosts that worked in the restaurant while Abbey
took charge of the chefs and bartenders. Normally one person was in
charge of everyone but because Andrew and Abbey were both the best
servers, in upper management's opinion, they couldn't decide between
the two who would have the restaurant manager position. Since Abbey
didn't want the position and since Andrew was in school, it was agreed
upon that they would evenly split the duties which turned out not to be a
bad idea at all. They got together and did the schedules because some
cooks couldn't work with certain servers and vice versa because of all
the drama that seemed to go on at the hotel. Heather had a time to when
it came to making her schedules for the front desk, the bellhops, the
cleaners, and the valet.

Andrew finally decided on wearing his favorite pair of Hollister blue
jeans with a brown short sleeve polo shirt that had white, purple, and
pink stripes running across the chest. Andrew always wore one size
smaller than his size to accent his toned body and when he raised his
arms into the air, you could slightly see his flat stomach, if you were
paying close attention to his movements. His jeans clung tightly to legs
and butt, leaving little to the imagination in the front. Before grabbing
his coat and keys, he stopped in the bathroom and grabbed his hair gel.
He looked outside and could see a thin layer of snow softly covering the
ground.

`December in Boston is always pretty. The snowfall makes for a dreamy
white Christmas.' He thought to himself before grabbing his blue ski hat
and matching scarf. All bundled up, he left his apartment and made his
way to work.

Andrew arrived at work about ten minutes to eleven. He walked into the
back employee's lounge to clock in and saw Abbey and Heather sitting at
a table talking. Heather was obviously explaining something to Abbey and
Andrew heard Abbey groan.

"You are not serious. I cannot believe you called me in for this?"

Andrew sat down at the table after clocking in.

"What can't you believe Abbey?"

"I can't believe I was called in for this crap. I mean, I can
understand why you would come in but I cannot believe she dragged me in
too."

"And what exactly why are we here today? Abbey only hates two things in
life. Myspace and boy bands. I'm going to assume that our Myspace pages
don't have anything to do with my wasting a day off at work so I take it
some new boy band is staying here at the hotel while in town for a
tour?"

"Oh my god, give the man a prize! Actually, I think his prize is already
staying here in the hotel." Abbey laughed sarcastically.

Heather laughed with her and looked at me. "You're half right Andrew.
There is a boy band staying here but they aren't new and when you find
out who it is you will love me forever for calling you in."

"So you aren't going to tell me who it is then?"

"No way, I want to see the look on your face when you find out. Now
let's go they should be in the dining area now. We closed off a portion
of the restaurant for them specifically to not attract fans and
reporters."

Heather made her way to the restaurant floor, followed by Andrew and
Abbey.

"Now, there are a total of twelve people. We put several tables together
to make on giant table to seat all 12 so it will be easier for you to
serve them. I don't have to tell you this but management wants me to
remind you they are VIP guests. Don't screw up, don't piss them off,
and don't act stupid. Upper management has requested that they rate
their experience after their meal is finished so I'm sure that means
this could be the end of your jobs if you screw up. Now get to work and
have fun."

Heather left the restaurant and headed back to the hotel front desk.
Andrew and Abbey turned and faced each other. They shrugged, sighed, and
gave each other a high five. It was their little pre-shift ritual. They
had done it ever since they both started working together two years ago.
Andrew headed toward to enclosed area.

"Let's get this over with so I can go home and study. I have an exam in
the morning that I need to get ready for."

Abbey and Andrew walked through the curtain. Andrew's mouth fell open as
he saw who was seated at the table. Abbey smiled at the people seated at
the table.

"We will be with you to take your drink orders shortly."

Abbey elbowed Andrew in the stomach and pushed him through the curtain
and away from the guests.

"D...did you s...see who they w...were?"

"Yeah I did and your point is?"

"My point?! My point is they are like the hottest guys in the world.
What the hell was Heather thinking? I can't wait on them!" Andrew said
breathing heavily.

"Are you hyperventilating?" Abbey said with a concerned look on her
face. She guided Andrew to a chair and sat him down and started fanning
him with her hands. "You have got to calm down. There is nothing to be
excited nor upset about. Just treat them like normal customers. Imagine
them in their underwear or something and you'll stop being nervous
around them."

Andrew looked at Abbey like she was crazy. Abbey, a little on the slow
side, finally realized what she had said. "Oh yeah, not helping." She
started laughing. They heard someone clear their throat behind them. They
both turned and they were face to face with Drew Lachey himself.

"Is everything ok? We were kind of wondering when we might be able to
get some drinks. We're thirsty."

Abbey quickly stood up and made her way over to Drew.

"I'm sorry. Andrew was feeling a little dizzy and I just needed to make
sure he was ok. But he's fine now and if you want to go back and sit
down we'll come and take your drink orders."

"Ok." Drew turned back and was headed into the curtain area but stopped
suddenly and looked over at Andrew. "Hey, don't worry about anything. I
promise you...us hot guys will be on our best behavior." He winked and
smiled as Andrew turned a bright red. "So, you heard that huh?"

"Hey don't be embarrassed. Its good to know we still got it." He
laughed and went back to sit down. Abbey looked over at Andrew and
laughed.

Andrew walked past Abbey and through the curtain area. Abbey followed him
and soon they made their way around the table collecting drink orders.
They left the area to get the drinks and in a few minutes they were back.
When Andrew had got to the last drink, he was about to set it down on the
table when a hand overlapped his on the cup. He looked up to see who it
was and was looking into the gorgeous hazel eyes of Drew. Drew pulled on
the cup towards the table, without letting go of Andrew's hand, forcing
Andrew to lean down closer to him. When the cup was on the table, Drew
let go of Andrew's hand. Andrew stood upright quickly, blushed, and
walked away. Drew turned back to the table and took a sip of his drink.

Andrew and Abbey eventually served the food and in the process learned
that 98 Degrees was in Boston for a tour to raise money for their
charity, which was providing poor families with presents for their kids
for Christmas. Also part of the tour, were the members of N*Sync and
tagging along were Nick's latest girlfriend Vanessa, Lance's boyfriend
Reichen, and of course Cameron Diaz was there with Justin. Andrew and
Abbey expertly made sure all twelve guests had exactly what they needed
without even making them wait for it. When everyone was finished eating,
Abbey and Andrew started cleaning up the dishes from the table while
everyone sat around drinking coffee and chatting.

"So Drew, I see you've taken a liking to our waiter here." Nick said
mischievously.

Drew blushed and tossed a packet of sugar at his brother. "Shut up Nick.
I haven't "taken a liking" as you think. I'm simply observing his
work habits so I can accurately report our dining experience like the
hotel management requested we do."

Jeff, who was sitting next to Drew, burst into laughter along with Justin
who was right next to him. Vanessa, who was sitting next to Nick, looked
over at them confusingly. She was talking to Cameron when the guys were
picking on Drew.

"What is so funny baby?" she asked Nick.

"Nothing sweetheart, we are just picking on Drew."

Vanessa reached across the table and put her hand on Drew's. "Well
don't be too mean to him. I'm sure he's still getting over the divorce
and he doesn't need you guys ragging on him so much while he's
hurting."

Drew smiled. "Thank you Vanessa but I'm fine. Lea and I are still
friends and she understands that I cannot continue to live a lie. She
deserves better and I want what Lance has."

Vanessa glanced down the table to where Lance and Reichen were sitting
side by side talking to Joey and JC.

"You want to sleep with Reichen? Wouldn't that be bad to steal your
best friend's boyfriend?" Vanessa asked.

Nick and the boys started laughing at her. She looked confused. Nick put
his hands on the side of her head and looked into her eyes. "He means he
wants a boyfriend who he can love and who loves him back." Nick said
right before kissing her lightly on her forehead.

Vanessa smiled and nodded. "Oh Drew, I'm sure you'll find some hot
guy. What about the waiter? He seems like he's hard-working and sweet.
Plus he is totally cute and has an ass that you just want to squeeze
every time he walks by..." she had her hands out in front over her
squeezing them together. She stopped when she saw all four of the guys
staring at her weirdly. She looked at Nick. "I mean, he's nowhere near
as cute as you are and your ass is so much squeezable than his I'd
imagine..."

She stopped when Nick covered her mouth with his. When he finished
kissing her, he looked over to his brother. "See, even Vanessa thinks
you two would make a cute couple. I'm telling you bro, you should go for
it."

Drew looked at his brother annoyingly. "Dude, we don't even know if
he's gay. Two, we don't even know if he's single. And thirdly..."

"Oh he's gay alright. I can tell. He is sending off some serious
vibes." Vanessa interrupted Drew with.

Nick look over at his girlfriend questioningly while Justin was curious
as to how she came about this information. "Oh really and just how can
you tell? You have to teach us since it seems Drew isn't going to do
anything for himself, it's up to us to make sure the kid here gets his
rocks off one way or another."

Drew glared at Justin as Vanessa began to school the guys on the art of
gaydar. "Duh it's like so obvious. Look at his hair. See how his spikes
have a purplish tint to them? What straight guy do you know would put
purple coloring in his hair? Secondly, you can see a slight change in his
demeanor when he is waiting on certain people at the table. Watch how he
is cool and calm with Lance, Reichen, Justin, Cameron, myself, and Nick.
Then watch how he gets kind of flustered when he is with Joey and the
three of you, especially you Drew after you practically pulled him into
your lap when he was giving you your drink. Don't think I didn't see
that. I'm sure he is attracted to almost all the guys at this table with
the exception of JC and Chris."

Nick looked at her. "Wait a minute. The hair thing I get and I can
understand how if you watched him enough you could maybe see how he acts
differently with each person but maybe that's just how he is. He treats
everyone differently but in a friendly way."

Vanessa looked at Nick like he was crazy. "Puh-leaze. Watch how he is
polite to JC and Chris but you can tell he doesn't give a rat's ass
about waiting on them. He's nowhere near as enthusiastic with them as he
is with everyone else. He doesn't get all flustered around Lance or
Reichen, as well as Justin and you Nick."

Jeff suddenly acted like a light bulb went off in his head. "I know why.
It's because he knows that Lance and Reichen are together and he isn't
the type to try and ruin a relationship even though he could possibly be
attracted to them and he knows that Justin and Cameron are dating like
you and Nick are dating."

Vanessa smiled brightly at him and clapped her hands together. "Yay at
least one of you is paying attention. Now watch him as he comes around to
us. He will be perfectly ok with Nick and me but when it comes to you
three he seems to tense up and get politely quiet."

They all watched and sure enough when he came around to make sure they
were all ok, the boys could pick up on how differently he reacted with
each one of them. When he left the table, Vanessa beamed at the boys.
"See, I told you so."

Drew stared at his friends in disbelief. "Whatever. It doesn't matter
anyways because guess what. There is no chance in hell that anything will
ever happen. Plus he lives here in Boston and we all live in Ohio.
Personally, the long distance thing isn't exactly my idea of a budding
relationship. Just stop with the "is he or isn't he" crap and get it
through your heads that I don't need your help getting a boyfriend. And
who even says I want one? Maybe I'm perfectly fine being single."

Drew abruptly got up from the table and left the curtained area. Their
friends witnessed his sudden departure.

"Is he ok?" Cameron asked with concern in her voice.

"He'll be fine." Nick said, unsure if he was being honest.

They finished up with everything and paid their bill. Everyone left their
various tips on the table while Andrew and Abbey were checking on a way
for them to get upstairs without getting mauled by a bunch of people.
Abbey came back and told everyone she was going to take them through the
employee's areas to ensure they got upstairs undisturbed. As everyone
was leaving the area, Andrew came back to the table with the bus cart and
began the process of cleaning up. Nick was the last of the group to leave
and he stayed behind a moment watching Andrew as he cleaned up. Andrew
noticed him watching and turned to him.

"Did you need anything else Mr. Lachey?"

Nick chuckled slightly. "Please call me Nick and no thank you I'm
fine."

Nick walked away quickly, leaving Andrew alone with a confused look on
his face. Andrew shrugged and went back to cleaning up. Abbey came back a
few minutes later, surprised that there was nothing left to do but push
the bus cart back to the kitchen and replace the table clothes. Andrew
had made quick work of the mess and even managed to separate the tables
back to their correct positions in the short time Abbey was gone.

"Wow you cleaned up real fast."

"Well like I said earlier, I need to get home and study for my exam
tomorrow."

Abbey walked over to the table where Andrew piled the tips together and
began dividing them in half. Abbey finished counting and turned to Andrew
with her mouth wide open.

"There's eight hundred dollars here Andrew! I can't believe it.
That's four hundred a piece. You know, maybe boy bands aren't so bad
after all."

Andrew sighed and laughed at her. He grabbed his half and looked at it.

"It's too much. I mean their bill was only like what, two hundred? This
is way too much. We can't take this."

Abbey looked at Andrew as if he just slapped her.

"You have got to be kidding me. We barely make this in two weeks and
you're complaining? I don't know about you but I can definitely take
this."

Andrew laughed at her.

"I don't know I just don't feel right about it."

Abbey walked over to him and felt his forehead.

"Are you feeling ok? I mean you are feeling a little warm."

"I'm fine. Please stop touching me." Andrew said pushing her away
while laughing.

Andrew and Abbey went to the employee's lounge to clock out. They then
proceeded to the front desk to let Heather know they were leaving for the
day. Abbey said her goodbyes and headed out the door while Andrew stayed
behind chatting with Heather.

"One more thing before I leave. I need you to do me a favor." Andrew
said to Heather.

"Sure what's up?"

"Can you give me a pen and a piece of paper please?"

Heather handed Andrew a pen and a piece of paper like he requested. He
scribbled a note down on the piece of paper and folded the money inside
the piece of paper without Heather seeing it.

"Can you put this in an envelope and leave it for the group?"

"Yeah sure what is it?"

"Don't worry about it. Just...please?"

Heather took the note and put it in an envelope and set in the group's
room message box. The phone rang and Heather picked it up. Andrew took
the opportunity to leave. Waving good bye to his best friend he left the
hotel.
