'All done Kristen.'
'Thanks Nichole.' I smiled up at her. She was the best stylist in the world. I pushed myself up from the chair and went over to where my dress was laid neatly across the bed. I'd picked it out myself, with Nichole's approval of course: A one shouldered Red and white dress with carefully chosen accessories to match.
I slipped into the dress, trying not to mess up Nichole's perfect job and then put on my black heels.
'You look beautiful Kristen. Rob is gonna love it.'
'Excuse me?' I asked her, confused.
'Well, it's just... never mind.'
I shook my head, and went to put on my necklace. There. Outfit complete.
I glanced over to the clock by my bed, startled by how quick the time had passed.
'Well, I better get going, Nichole. I think my car is here. Thanks so much, you've done a great job.' I kissed her on the cheek, picked up my clutch bag and phone, and went downstairs to where my car was waiting.

By the time we reached the movie theatre, I noise of just about a million screaming fans filled the air. Out of the window of the car, I could see Taylor and Rachelle having photos taken together. Rachelle looked stunning as usual, her fiery red curls hanging elegantly down her back, wearing a beautiful black coctail dress that accentuated her curves perfectly. Taylor looked dashing in his black suit and open collared shirt.
Without warning, my heart started pounding. Your going to be fine, I reassured myself. Theres just a few thousand people calling your name, it's all fine.
I took in some deep breaths as the driver came around to my side of the car to open the door. I took in one last deep breath and proceeded to step out into the unknown. Immedialty, the screaming became louder. If its like this for me, wonder what they're gonna do when rob get here, I pondered to myself. I smiled broadly as I walked down the red carpet, the noise of clicking cameras and fangirl screams in my ears.
Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a suave black car pull up. The driver opened the door and sure enough out stepped Rob. He looked gorgeous, of course, it went without saying. He was wearing a full black suit accompanied by a black shirt and tie, and his trademark tousled hair to match. I tried not too look as if i was gawming, but I couldn't help it when he looked like that.
Rob gave me a quick wave, and flashed a brilliant smile at me. I flashed him one back, but it didnt seem half as good.
Suddenly, all the attention turned from me. And the screams got much louder. People were shouting his name, and some were even shouting 'Edward.' I knew how much that pissed him off, so I laughed melodically to myself. Some people were even crying, which scared me a little.
Whilst Rob was escorted down the carpet, I continued to make my own way, stopping to sign autographs for people, and take a few photos. Every now and then I glanced back at Rob. He seemed totally relaxed and at ease, even though the screams must have been deafening him.
-
A few interviews and signatures laters, I heard a familar voice call my name.
'Kris,' Rob called to me, in his delicious british accent. He gestured for me to go over to where he was standing. Without hesitation, I went and joined him. Gently, he slid arm around my waist. I placed mine on his waist and photographers began taking our picture.
Suddenly, I felt Robs lips at my ear.
'You look stunning tonight Kristen,' he whispered to me; I could feel his hot, sweet breath on my neck.
I glared up at him, his green eyes sparkling spectacullarly. 'Well thank you,' I replied, and then added, 'You're not half bad yourself.'
He winked at me, a cheeky grin on his face, and then we continued down the screaming carpet of madness.
-
It felt like hours had passed by the time we were sitting down in the theatre. Rob was slumped in the seat next to me, his head down. Rob hated watching himself even more than I hated watching myself.
'Rob are you okay? You look slightly green,' I queried. I didn't want him throwing up all over me during the film.
'Yeah I'm fine. Its just, you know I hate watching myself. It makes me cringe.' He let his head fall into his hands.
The rest of the cast were on the row behind us, all looking excited but nervous at the same time; Jackson had his arm around Ashley and they looked like they were in deep conversation. Obviously they weren't all about to throw up. The row behind that were mine and Rob's familys. I dont think they could have been any more excited.
I looked at Rob again; he was still slumped right back into his chair.
'Cheer up Rob, we may as well enjoy it instead of being embarrased. Your an amazing actor, theres no need to be embarrassed.' I patted his knee and smiled warmly at him.
He smiled back at me. 'Your not half bad yourself,' Rob mimicked, in an american accent.
'Shut up, you!' I giggled and playfully punched him in the arm.
Just then, I noticed Catherine walk in. I realised it was the first time I'd seen her all evening; she was wearing all black, a black long coat and black ankle boots. Catherine was so individual, with her quirky sence of style. But we all loved her anyway. She was such an amazing director and a decent human being at the same time.
'Hi you guys!' Catherine greeted us with a huge smile, as she always did. Every time she met us on the set, she would be smiling. I don't think I've ever seen her go a day without smiling.
Rob perked up a little. He liked Catherine a lot. She didnt just look at him and think, 'God, he's hot.' She actually respected Rob, and he respected her too.
Various hello's came from the rest of the cast. Nikki got up to give her a hug and a kiss on the cheek and then went back to where she had been sitting with Rachelle after their breif greeting.
Cathernine came over to Rob and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.
'How are you?' He asked her in his velevety voice.
'I'm good, really excited, you?'
Rob didn't say anything. Instead, he just raised his eyebrows at her.
'Aww Rob, you'll be fine. Just enjoy it. You did a fab job.'
'I just hate watching myself, thats all.'
Catherine lent down and rubbed his arm in a comforting mannor. 'You'll be fine,' she told him again.
'Catherine.' I stood up and held out my arms to give her a hug.
'You look amazing Kris,' Catherine complimented.
'Thanks. I'd like to take credit, but Nichole did most of the work.'
'She amazing.'
'Definatley.'
Just then the lights dimmed. Oh shit. I sat back down and Catherine perched herself on the seat next to me. Rob sat up in his chair, making the effort to at least try and enjoy himself. I placed my hand ontop of his, trying to make him feel at least a bit better. Then I heard my voice fill the auditorium and all went silent.
-
'Yes. No. To get to the other side. 1.77245...'
I could see Rob getting more and more embarrased by the second. This was the scene where his song played in the background, and he was not liking it one bit. My hand was still ontop of his, as we continued to watch the film. Surprisingly, I was less embarrassed than I thought I was going to be. I was enjoying the movie and Catherine looked like she could jump through the ceiling at any moment, she was liking it that much.
Unexpectedly, I felt Robs hand slip from under mine. I looked to where he was siting, but instead saw and empty chair. I glanced at Catherine. She looked just as confused as I did. I shrugged my shoulders in responce, and quietly got up and walked out of the theatre door.
Rob was standing in the hallway, running his hand through his hair. I could only imagine how fast his heart was beating. I was hoping that he wasn't about to start hyperventilating and collapse right then and there. He breathed out one hugh sigh, and let his head fall back against the wall.
'Rob, are you really okay?'
'Kris, I was doing fine. Until that song came on.'
'Why until the song came on?'
'Listen, watching myself act is enough, but then listening to myself sing as well. Its too much.. it's just too much.'
'Rob...' I let myself trail off, and instead of saying anything futher, held my arms out to him, just as I had done with Catherine.
'Your amazing, you know that Kristen.'
'It's what friends are for, right?' I told him, my eyes smiling up at him broadly.
'Right...' he replied, his tone much quieter ans softer than before.
'So, Rob, are you gonna come back in? Or am I going to have to kick you up the arse a few times first?'
Rob began to laugh tunefully, in a way that would make anyone smile until they started to look like a mentalist.'Now I wouldnt want that would I?'
-
The film was nearly to a close. Rob had perked up a bit, and did actually seem like he was enojoying himself somewhat. Catherine still looked like she could shoot through the ceiling any moment and well, I was just having a good time.
A moment later, I found myself precipitously staring at myself dancing on Rob's, or rather Edward's, feet. I focused my gaze on us moving elegantly around the screen.
Wow, we look good together, I suddenly realised to myself.
I turned to look at Catherine, who was biting down on her bottom lip, still smiling slightly, now looking more like she was going to cry than blast through the roof.
I looked to the other side of me, where Rob seemed to have leaned forward in his seat, as if to get a better view of what was happening on screen. It was the first time all night I had seen him deeply involved in the movie. I pondered on what he was thinking to himself, but I was sure it must have been similar to my own thoughts.
Insinctively, I placed my hand with Rob's, but this time I entwined my fingers with each perfect one of his, instead of just ontop. And we relaxed into watching the last few moments of the film together.
As we heard my voice-over, brining the film to a close, our hands were still locked together. A moment later, the lights came up for the end credits, and people began to file out, chatting away amongst themselves.
'You two were amazing,' Ashley complimented Rob and I.
'Yeah you were,' Kellan reciprocated.
'Thanks guys. God i was shitting myself. Well, up until the end anyway.'
'Yeah I could tell. You seemed to be enjoying Kristen's hand,' Kellan accused, in a smirk on his face.
At that point, Robs cheeks went for their natural pink colour, to a bright crimson .
'Oi, Kellan, leave him alone,' Nikki remarked and slapped him lightly on the arm.
A quiet snicker from the cast evolved.
Since the thought had just come into my head, and to distract everyone from Rob's embarrasment, I quickly suggested, 'Anyone feel like an after party at mine?'
'Sure thing Kris,' Ashley replied, nodding simultaneously. 'We'll all meet you there, c'mon guys,' she gestured for evreyone to start leaving the theatre.
'See you in a few guys,' Catherine kissed myself and Rob on the cheek as she left.
Suddenly, I found myself alone with Rob in the movie theatre. All went silent, and very awkward.
'So... are we going then Rob? Or are we just going to stand here for another hour in silence?' A smile crept over my lips.
'Come on then,' Rob said with a huff.
We walked slowely and silently out of the door, barely an inch between us. I was about to take Robs hand for the second time that evening, but someone that I wasn't expecting neared us, and instead took a few steps away.
Who is walking over to Kristen and Rob to make her react in that way? And how will Kristen's after party go? Find out in the next chapter!
