The following is a story written by on of my bff's about her cousin's encounter with Rob Pattinson. The story is priceless and my bff did a stellar job writing it! Names may or may not have been changed :).
Okay, here we go...Bee was in New Jersey on vacation at the Jersey Shore with Snooki (not really, but whatever). While she was there, her friends were calling/texting her saying that Rob was in town shooting "Water for Elephants". He went to the bars every night to just hang out, so downtown Chatt was crazy with girls lining up at whatever bar he would be at that night. Bee's friend, Ryan, was at a bar just chilling with some friends, and in walks Rob with an entourage - bodyguards and crew from the movie. He called Bee to tell her, but she was still in NJ. I guess Ryan tried to go to the bathroom, and the bodyguards wouldn't let him because Rob was in there :) Bee thought by the time she got back from NJ, Rob would be long gone...she was wrong!
Bee's friend, Kate, is a bartender at this swanky place in downtown Chatt. A group of guys came in Monday night, and Kate was there bartender. They started talking, and she finds out that the guys are camera crew from the movie. The one guy falls in love with Kate and asks for her number so that they can hang out again. Keep in mind, that this guys is in his 30's and not attractive. Also keep in mind, that Kate has NEVER seen Twilight, and doesn't even care about R Pattz, but she was taking one for the team knowing that Bee and her friend Laura would freak out!
Kate and cameraman, Lewis, text eachother all day Tuesday. Kate convinces Bee to come out with her Tuesday night with hopes that in the absolute slightest chance possible, they would get to meet Rob. While at the bar, Kate asks Lewis to meet them. He can't because they are throwing a wrap party for Rob because it was his last night in town. So, of course, Kate asks if she can stop by! Lewis is like sure, but who's all with you? Kate says two of my girlfriends (Bee and Laura) and my friend Travis. Lewis tells her no guys allowed. Kate tells him Travis is gay (he's not), and Lewis says cool! The 4 of them head to the party - it is of course at the fanciest, most expensive restaurant in town. The get to the door, and there is a huge line all the way down the street. They go to the doorman and say that they are here for the party, and they drop Lewis's name. Sure enough, Lewis comes down to get them and brings them up to the private room...where there are only 20 PEOPLE!!! All males (except one female crew member) and all members of the movie crew! The girls definitely stood out as they were 1.) female and 2.) clearly did not work on the movie! A bodyguard approaches them and explains that they are not to "swarm" Rob, basically just leave him alone as this is his only time to just relax and not be chased by crazy girls. They hung out for about 30 minutes or so, and Bee starts getting antsy because they haven't seen Rob yet. She wants to leave. Her friend, Laura, goes to sit on one of the couches, and then gives Bee a "get over here NOW" look. Bee follows and sits down. She looks to her right, and sure enough ROB IS SITTING AT THE BAR BY HIMSELF! He had been there the whole time!!! Converse, jeans, black t-shirt, and black baseball cap - drinking a Bud and chain smoking Camel Lights (gross, but I can get over it)! The girls realize that he's been staring at them the whole night because he has no idea who they are!!!
Bee is desperately trying to keep her cool (listening to her tell this story is PRICELESS)! Rob starts circulating the room and talking to each crewmember, laughs, hugs, thank-you's all around. Bee said she was very impressed by how appreciative and sincer he seemed. Bee joins her group at the bar, and Rob follows - so they end up standing back-to-back with eachother. Bee was trying to act cool, but she was definitely listening in on his conversation and she "wanted to know what he smelled like, so I started sniffing the air like an idiot!" This is why I love my cousin because I would have done the same thing! :) Lewis keeps telling the girls to approach Rob and say hi, but the girls are scared after the lecture they got from his bodyguard. Lewis then asks Rob for a "dart" which is apparently what they call cigarettes in England. Rob says sure, hands Lewis a dart, and then started laughing. Like really laughing with his cute little smile because he thought it was so funny that this big, American camerman actually used an English term. So cute! He then turns to Bee (who is laughing with him but has no idea why because she didn't know what "dart" meant yet), and says "Hi, how are you?". And then Bee dies...just kidding! Bee just kinda said hi back, and Rob kinda walked away. Bee is kicking herself for not talking more. I genuinely think Rob wanted to talk to them, but you know how embarassed and awkward he gets - I think he wanted Bee and the girls to kind of make the first move, you know what I mean? Not like make-out with you first move, but just a "Hey can we like have a real conversation" first move.
Rob left shortly after, and the girls followed him out (Lewis is probably not very happy with them, as they promised they were coming back and then never did). They figured Rob had already left, and Bee and Laura were waiting for Kate outside the bathroom when who walks out of the men's room and runs right into my beautiful cousin - ROB! He kind of grabs her shoulders to straighten himself and her and smiles while apologizing. Bee doesn't remember saying anything back to him, haha!
My favorite part of the night, Bee's friend Laura kept Lewis' cigarette butt because it came from Rob. She plans on framing it in a Twilight frame, hahahah! I LOVE it!!!
And that's the end of the story. I wish it would have happened to me :)
