I can't believe I'm actually at a bar with Chris Hemsworth, Jamie Alexander, and Natalie Portman. And Tom, of course. He sure had a fun time trying to get me out of his car!

"Tom! I can't! I don't belong here."  I sat looking forward, not even attempting to get out.  Really though, hanging out with celebrities?! I didn't really think this through when we left the apartment.

Tom, being as sweet as he always is, knelt down and took my hand. In a very serious tone, he asked,  "For heaven's sake, Chelsea, why wouldn't you belong here?"  This was another one of those times when I forget that he's actually  famous, with famous friends, who he wants me to hang out with.  "You fit in anywhere you go Ms Bennett.   You're sweet, friendly, and not to mention drop dead gorgeous."

His words were making me tear up. I hugged him and kissed his cheek. "I don't know why you are single Tom! You would make the perfect boyfriend!"

He sighed, half smiled and said, "I guess it's because I'm a boob."  He held out his arm for me and helped me out of his car.   I giggled. "But you're a lovable boob!"

Both of us stopped, looked at each other with awkward expressions for a split second, smiled nervously, then walked in. Apparently we were going to the back room. This is soooo not what I expected and I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely not a place where celebrities hang out. So I suppose that's why they do! A nice place to relax after a hard days work! I've been to nicer places, but these are the bars I like best: pool tables, dart boards, nobody is trying to impress one another: The bars I used to go to when I was 19. Um, no, 21. Yeah 21. Hehehe Anyyyyyway, when the middle aged man behind the bar, who was in fact Charlie, saw us, he broke out into a big smile. "Ah, the god of mischief has finally arrived! And brought a beautiful young lady. Hello there."

He came out with his arm already out to shake his hand and smiled. As Tom shook his hand, he introduced me as his neighbor and friend. Charlie slid closer to me, and said, "Soooooo, you're single, are ya Chelsea?" He was kinda cute, his brown hair graying on the sides as his mustache, his dark brown eyes smiling as he did.

Tom pulled me back behind him, smiling at Pete, and said, "Watch your back Chelsea! He's frisky!"

I peeked around Tom and teased, "Know this from experience?" I walked away and heard Charlie. "Oh ho ho! Looks like there's a goddess of mischief!"

I looked back to see Tom narrowing his eyes at me. "You're walking home Bennett!!"

I stood with my arms on my hips and imitated his voice sarcastically, "You're walking home Bennett! Are we going in already?"

It's no big deal Chels, they are only people.  You'll  have fun.  Get over yourself already!  Sighing deeply and shaking my head, "I may regret this, but ok."

Opening the door to the back room (they are celebrities and of course don't want to be found!), everyone looked and Chris Hemsworth yelled "Brother! Where have you been!"

Oh.My.God!! I was trying not to fangirl, but when you're in a room with Chris Hemsworth, Jamie Alexander, and Natalie Portman, well it's hard not to. My fingernails were dug in so deep in Tom's arm he looked at me, furrowed his brows and said, "What is wrong with you?"

I shook my head, trying to hide behind him like a little girl. Everyone was trying to look at me and Tom shrugged. He turned to me and said, "Remember when Jen was hiding in the bathroom when I came over and you told her how nice I was or something like that?"
