Food Critic

Holly Parks

*Holly's POV*>>>

"Find anything yet?" my best friend Austin asked.

"Nothing you?" I asked. She sighed and shook her head. We were currently looking in the newspaper for me a job where I can use the skills I got from collage. Luckily with her help I graduated with my masters degree in culinary arts. I say her help cause she was test dummy when I would try to practice my skills in the kitchen.

"Maybe you should put out an add, 'Experienced cook looking for a job' . " she suggested. I giggled at her attempt to come up with a good add title.

"You know I think ill do that but ill create my own title." I said as I stood up to go to my laptop to write my article.

*Niall's POV*

"Harry man I don't mean to burst your bubble but this is disgusting, you need to hire a new chef."

"I know Ni but I don't have anyone else to replace him, and I cant starve." he spoke up. Hanging at one of the boys place once a week became a tradition when we go on breaks. We would play FIFA, go out, or sometimes like today just stay in and do nothing. But hanging out at Harrys was getting weird because his crap chef would cook the worst food known to man. How he passed school is unknown to all of us.

"Why don't you look in the paper for a new one?" Zayn asked.

"Who looks in the paper anymore?" he asked. Well I don't care what Harry says im getting him a new chef because I cant take this anymore.

*Holly's POV*

*ring*ring*ring* I groaned as I turned my head at the annoying ring of my cell phone waking me up from my slumber. The caller ID said 'Unknown'. I yawned and answered.

"Hello?" I said in a sleepy voice.

"Yes umm hi my name is Niall and I saw your add in the paper about needing a job as a personal chef. Are you still available?" My eyes widened and I sat up immediately not feeling very tired anymore.

"Oh yes, yes sir I'm still available. What did you have in mind?" I asked as I through a pillow at Austin to wake her up.

"Well I was wondering if you would come over to my place and make a trial meal and then I could decide from there, I would buy your ingredients of cores." he suggested. A giant smile came across my face and looked was still asleep despite my attempt to wake attempt to wake her up.

"Okay yes, that would be prefect when and where sir?" I asked while practically throwing everything within arms reach at Austin to wake her.

"What about tonight around 5 and the address is *insert address here*. Is that good?" Niall asked. By this I was wide awake and practically jumping up and down on my bed of excitement.

"Yes sir that is perfect. I look forward to cooking for you." I said.

"Okay thank you Ms...

"Parks, Holly Parks."
