рассказ девушки, которая встретила Джеймса в свой день варенья

I won’t blame anyone to not be brave enough to read everything. I’ve never been good at summarizing and some people asked me for the full story so, here it is!
It all started two weeks ago, when I was randomly looking on internet for some news about “Welcome to the Punch”, the movie I knew James McAvoy was currently shooting in London. I saw a tweet saying that XXX -you’ll understand, I hope, why I won’t put the location on Tumblr- could be one of the filming set. I found what and where XXX was and kept it in a corner of my mind.

Then, Sunday, sent home early by my manager with nothing planned for a couple of hours, I decided to go and have a look over there. It’s in London zone 1, really close to where I was. I found the place really easily and the first guy I talked to confirmed me a movie set was taking place in the premises. He sent me to a door on the side of the building where a security guy could tell me more about it. That guy wasn’t the nicest guy ever but told me what I needed: the WTTP crew would be shooting there Monday and Tuesday -my days off, oh dear luck, I love you-. But he couldn’t tell me if James would be there, pretending -I mean, I hope he was pretending- he had no idea who he was. So I spent the evening praying all my Gods and asking the whole World to cross their fingers for me, for James to be working. It would have been so so so stupid to be so lucky at finding a place if it ended up being useless.

On Monday, my birthday, I woke up with one thousand butterflies in my stomach but I didn’t change my mind. I wanted to go. I thought it could be good to be there for lunch time as they might have a break -and I was damn clever- so I took the tube and arrived around 11:30am. I went straight away to the door on the side in front of which almost twenty people were standing. First I thought they were fans but when I came closer, I realized they were all wearing red wristbands. They were extras, and part of the technical crew, having a coffee/cigarette break. There was a table next to the door with a coffee machine, bottles of water and some biscuits. I was waiting on the side, didn’t really know what to do, when a security guy -let’s call him Lenny from now- came to me with a huge smile and a wristband “Are you with us love? You’re one of the extras right?”. I’m quite cheeky but I couldn’t dare saying yes, even if I was tempted. They would have kicked me out of the area as soon as they would have realized I was lying. So I told the truth, that I was just expecting to see James McAvoy, with the cutest voice I could use. Lenny smiled and asked me how I found out about the place. Then he told me James was inside. And when I asked “Are you sure?” et answered “Oh yeaaah, I’m sure! *big smile*”. And here came the storm inside of me. 95% happiness, 5% fear. Or 5% happiness, 95% fear. Didn’t know, couldn’t know, but that was quite disturbing. And it got worse when a lady came to me “Of course you can wait for him over here, as long as you’re not in the middle of the way. He’s gonna come out at one point. He was there 15min ago, smoking a cigarette so… You’ll see, he’s lovely!”. Well, well, well… Okay. Thank you. Let’s get ready to die then.

The break was over so everybody went back inside except for Lenny and Joe, another security guy. I spent the next hour chatting with them and I still can’t believe how amazing they were. They were offering me coffee and water, telling me to come under a kind of tent when it was raining, letting me use the toilets inside and asking me about my life and my love for James. They were awesome! I think they were quite happy to have someone to entertain them for once !

Then Lenny told me James was about to leave for his lunch break, he showed me the car he would go in, parked 10 meters away, and told me to wait between the door and the car so “You’ll be sure to catch him!” Well… If the guy in charge of the security said I could… And then, started the longest 40 minutes of my life. Every time someone was coming out, my heart was stopping for a second. And the sky didn’t know what it wanted, between sun and rain and I was sure the rain would ruin all my chances for James to stop so I was looking at the clouds with a lot of threats in my eyes, and I was tweeting my friends, and trying to breathe, and, to be honest, getting completely crazy. The sun finally decided to stay for a while and suddenly, all the extras and technicians came outside screaming “Lunch break!!” with happy faces and started to leave in buses and cars. But I had the feeling they were people everywhere around me, and I was freaking scared. And then came from inside a guy I’m gonna call the Poodle -coz I hate poodles-, I think he was in charge of James’ well-being, I don’t know exactly but he was annoying. He gave me a weird look and then told the car driver to bring the car right in front of the door –so there were like only two meters between the door and the car now- and in my head I was like “FUCK YOU POODLE!!!!!”. I stayed where I was, next to the car, next to the door, terrified. And then Lenny, who was checking the inside, suddenly turned to look at me, gave me a nod meaning “Be ready love!” and then…

His laugh. I heard his laugh coming from the inside before even seeing him. An open and happy laugh, which basically started World War III in my whole body. And then, his face with the most childish expression ever. And he was still laughing and kind of fighting with the guy walking next to him. I don’t know exactly what they were doing, like messing around together, and because of that, they didn’t see the two steps in front of them and James almost fell and when his two feet were finally safe on the ground he laughed again, and I realized I was already dead. He was wearing a white shirt with black trousers, and under the sun, his beard was freaking ginger and his eyes were freaking blue and yeah. I was freaking dead.

And Poodle was calling him, holding the car’s door for him, and James was on the point to enter in so I moved forward and called “Excuse me! James!” and he spun around, still smiling like “Who’s calling meeeeeeee?” and stood in front of me, put his eyes into mine and “Yes?”. RIP Hélène. And with the worst French accent ever, and the voice shaking like crazy I started something like “I’m really sorry to bother you, I don’t wanna disturb you but I’d really like to talk to you, but if you’re…” and I think I lost him after only three words because he shook his head and “Sorry, what?” and gosh, his “what” was so Scottish I just oriuezsqplokiujreklslqkjh. So I took a deep breath and went again “I’d like to talk to you…” and he did a kind of “Awwww” which sounded so much like what he does in the beginning of XMFC when Moira tells him she was at his presentation that I was all poriuezaoerhejks again. But I went on “I don’t want to disturb you so if you’re on a hurry I can wait for you to come back. Because I so so so don’t wanna be annoying…”. And he said “Well I’m supposed to go on lunch with a guy and… *looking around him* Where did he go? Oh shit, he’s already in the car so I have to go, don’t wanna keep him waiting! *sad face* I’m sorry…” And me “I can wait…” and him “Well great! So then I’ll stop and talk with you when I’ll come back from my lunch okay?” “Okay… Thank you…” and then he grabbed my wrist and WHY ON EARTH DID YOU DO THAT JAMES?????? And said “See you later then!” with a huge smile and he went into the car and the car left with my heart, my mind and my legs.

I stood there, totally brain-freezing, until Lenny came, smiling, to tell me I could go for a lunch as well as I had one hour to wait. But I didn’t want to go away, didn’t want to risk missing him, so I went to seat on the grass area in front of the building. I called my amazing friends and sister, they were all over-excited for me, and started to answer my birthday messages. And in my head I was like “Okay… You’ve seen him already, he’s nice and human, he’s like any other guy, so you’re gonna keep calm and focused, and you’re gonna manage to communicate with him in a proper way otherwise I’ll kill you!!!”. Of course I didn’t believe in the “like any other guy” part but I was trying to convince myself. Lenny and Joe spent 20 minutes trying to feed me and share their lunch boxes. They didn’t want to understand I wasn’t able to eat anything. Smocking one hundred cigarettes was way easier. And then, well, I got bored. It had to happen at some point. I came to seat against the building wall to be closer to the action but I couldn’t really focuse anymore. Don’t know why. I was day-dreaming about what just happened to me, and refreshing Twitter every 10 seconds wishing for something entertaining to happen. So when all the extras and the crew came back it didn’t alarm me, I mean, not as much as it should have. Everyone entered the building and it was just Lenny, Joe and me, once again, and I went back to my phone.

I felt the car passing slowly but the time for me to realize it was James’ car, it was already park in front of the door, which was 5 meters away from me. I stood as quickly as possible, took my bag, but James was already outside -wearing a new dark shirt- and Poodle was there, pressing him “Come on James, they’re waiting for you upstairs!”. And then James, I mean… Sir James McAvoy, Master of all the Universes, James, James, James answered “Well, I’m sorry but I’ve got to stop over there first!” pointing at me with a smile and sending my soul far away from my body. Like, are you real James? *hyperventilating*

He moved toward me and said “Hey dear, I’m sorry you’ve been waiting!!” and I whispered something like “No problem… Don’t worry…” and he held out one’s hand, smiling “Hi! I’m James!”. Really? I smiled as well because I found him way too cute to still be scared, shook hands with him and answered “I’m Hélène, nice to meet you!” He asked “Where are you from Hélène?” and I swear, never before my name had sounded so hot. I told him I was from France which he found great then I added I was living in London which he found also great. He was so responsive, and such in a good mood, I still can’t believe it!!!! Not that I was expecting him to be listless but I don’t know… From the beginning until the end I had the feeling he was happy to talk to me and… Well, that was perfect. Anyway… He lit a cigarette, had a puff and blew the smoke out and… Excuse me but… Excuse me while I… I mean… How can someone be so sexy at doing something? It took me 10 seconds to realize I was staring at him, probably with a pathetic blissful face so I gave myself a mental punch and decided to say something “I found out you would be filming there today and I thought it could be nice to come and say hi…” He answered “You did well!” and then he explained “I think we’re here for a couple of days but I’m not sure. I never know anything actually… Every morning I find out my daily programme!” and he started to laugh again. And he said “But that’s a cool place! I like it!” then he looked at the sky “And the weather is amazing, that’s a great day!” but he was like sooo enthusiastic and happy about everything, I was biting my cheek not to laugh. I could picture some Disney birds flying and singing around him! I retorted that it was raining one hour before –who said that talking about the weather was boring?- and he smiled “That’s London… Crazy weather!” Then I started to tell him how much I admire his acting skills and he was like “Awww thank you! That’s really sweet love!” No, you’re the sweet one James. Then I told him we actually already meet before and he asked “Really? Under which circumstances?” so I answered “You came in the restaurant I’m working in, in Central London.” He smiled “Which one?” “Le Pain Quotidien, in Soho.” And he was like “Oh yeah! I love it! I’ve been there a couple of times!” and in my head I was thinking “You should come every morning of every day of every week and I would give you everything for free and I would even seat next to you to put the food inside your mouth and…” but I said “I couldn’t really talk to you as I was on duty and my manager was watching me, it was kind of…” and he finished “Awkward!” and I smiled “Yeah, exactly. Today is better!” And then, Poodle, who had been calling him already three times while we were talking, started to lose patience “Okay James, now you really need to go upstairs, everyone is ready except for you!” And James looked at him and asked “Oh… Do I need to go now then?” and I just wanted to hug him for upsetting Poodle a bit more “Yeah! Now!” So James threw his cigarette away and turned to look at me with a I’m-about-to-apologize-coz-I-need-to-leave face, but before he could say anything, I asked “Do you mind if we take a picture?” and he said “Of course! I don’t mind at all!” so he came close to me and I raised my arm to take the picture myself coz I’m quite used to do that but then, he suddenly grabbed my camera and called out to a technician guy who was walking to the door “Hey dude! Take the picture for us!” and oh my god, he was so masterful I was poiureziapoieuryhejkzlsq. James came even closer and I stopped breathing. The guy took the pic, gave me my camera back and James put his hand on my arm and once again WHY OH WHY JAMES??? And he said “I’m sorry I need to go… Thank you so much for waiting!” and I answered “Thank you so much for stopping! Really… Thank you… It means the World to me! Thank you!” and he was smiling “Don’t worry! You’re so welcome!” and he started to move back and said “That was nice to meet you… Again, then!” and I answered “Yeah! Thank you so much!” Then he turned over, and I noticed how skin-tight were his trousers and I gave myself another mental punch, and he made a few steps to the door and turned to look at me again and started to wave like a kid would do and with a big smile “Byyyyyyyyyye!” James McAvoy, 10 years old. And then he disappeared inside the building.

And I stayed there, staring at the door, staring at my feelings, staring at one question “Am I gonna wake up soon or did that really just happened for real?”. And Lenny, Joe and the lady from the morning came at me like “So, so, so? Tell us!!!” and gosh, I found them all so cute!! But I couldn’t be totally fangirling in front of them and I really really needed to get crazy so I moved a bit away from them and I called my friends and my sister again to let everything out. But as soon as I was a bit empty from all my feelings, I came back to Joe and Lenny to say goodbye and to thank them for everything they had done for me. Then I left the area, went into the shopping center, locked myself into the toilets and looked at the picture for the first time and… Oooh… Welcome tears of happiness along my cheeks. I went out, called two other friends, and then I took the tube to go and celebrate the second part of my birthday.

And well… Here I am… Two days later, still in shock, still highly emotional about it, but more than anything, happy and grateful. There’s no better feeling than the joy you feel when you realize a person you’ve been worshiping totally deserve it. James exceeded all my expectations and my only wish about him now is to be able to meet him again soon, not that I want always more, but he needs to give me my heart back.

I’d like to thank Manon, Alicia, Cla, Giu, Julie, Domi, Vanessa and my mum for their support and their love during one of the most amazing moment of my life.

Now I’m gonna go and stare at my picture, again, wishing I could spread James McAvoy all over the universe.
