Overdue - Jack Gilinsky imagine -

Overdue part 17

I swear times flies when you get on with your life. It had been months since my birthday and now we are driving to the Grammys! I had been nominated and I could barely breath but it wasn't because of the six awards I was nominated for. It was because Justin and I had been dating for three months. Just like I did with Jack. We hadn't told anyone about our relationship. Just like I did with Jack. Justin said he wanted to tell the world. Exactly what Jack said to me.
Hell yes I was paranoid. TMZ and Twitter were already buzzing about us and me having these nominations didn't make it any better. I couldn't even go into a CVS for tampons without someone waiting for me outside with a camera and a question. I'd be stupid if I wasn't apprehensive and didn't have my guard up, blame my trust issues.
We were slowly pulling up to the carpet and I hadn't spoken a word during the whole ride.
"You ready," I finally said to Justin and he kissed my cheek and took my hand. We stepped out and the cameras were taking 1000x pictures per second and everyone looked so beautiful in their tuxes and dresses. Justin looked amazing but I couldn't even enjoy him because I was worried that the same thing would happen...that's why I avoided all the interviewers.
"Are you okay baby?" Justin intertwined our fingers and I loosely dropped my hand from his earning a hurt look from him.
"It's nothing personal Justin I'm just nervous..." That you're going to break my heart like Jack did...
The funny thing about award shows is they are actually hella long and REALLY boring. Like I had no idea they gave Grammys' for K-Pop! It was all a huge show. When the cameras were out that's when the lights adjusted to a small haze and it's like everyone suddenly became alive and focused but when the lights became brighter then they pulled their phones, went backstage, or simply left.
"Announcing tonight's Grammy Award for Album of The Year is Kelly Rowland."
My breathe became haggard as I clapped along with everyone else. I swear my life was flashing before my eyes. From picking up my first microphone to staying up late learning chords for piano, to recording my first vine, to going on my first social media tour. All those things lead up to this moment and I could truly say that I made it.
Justin told me before to keep a very neutral face when they said my name for nominations. The cameras were on me and everyone would see my reaction face if I won and they would crucify me for my face if I didn't. I was up against Taylor Swift, J. Cole, Fifth Harmony, Ariana Grande, and Chris Brown & Tyga. It felt like an eternity for Kelly to open the envelope.
"The winner for Album of the Year is Y/N!"
My eyes widened as Justin gently shook my arm. I couldn't move and everyone around me was clapping and cheering for me! My album beat out 1989, Reflection, and 2014 Forest Hill Drive. I hugged Justin and looked at him before softly pressing my lips against his...on live television.
He hugged me once more and let me go to walk down the aisle and up the four steps to collect my life goal. I turned and looked at the crowd who was standing and clapping for me and it literally brought tears to my eyes.
"I know you've probably heard this all before and it's probably cliche as hell but I literally don't have anything prepared to say."
The crowd laughed and that settled my nerves a bit before the words just started to pour from my heart.
"It's one thing to dream...but it's another to live. To actually put in the hard work, faith, and determination of making your dreams come true is a journey that has ups and downs and you meet some very important people along the way. Who would have thought that a 21 year old Viner would become a Grammy Award Winning Artist. I thank God for my fans. For sticking with me through those revine moments to celebrating with me on this stage on this night. I thank my family for the love and support. But most importantly I want to thank my friends. For being my rock and being my shoulder to cry on and being my diary. I want to also thank Justin. Justin I...I can't explain how much you have made this whole year feel like a fairytale. You made my dreams come true and you've been there and you helped me get this. You will always have my heart I love you so much baby. Thank you..."
The crowd cheered as I walked backstage to see other artists and to find out that it was way more fun to stay back there than to be sitting.
Justin came 10 minutes later and embraced me in a hug before leading me to this picture area where artists who won Grammys' took pictures.
"Get used to this baby girl you got five more nominations." He smirked and I groaned.
"I'm not good at speeches...songwriting yes but speeches no!" I whispered and he laughed while kissing my forehead.

I woke up to thank God a bare face and a big white T-shirt. I brushed my teeth and jogged downstairs to see Justin drinking some coffee and looking at his laptop.
"Morning," I said while walking over to him and sliding into his lap hugging him. He wrapped his arms around me and gave me a good morning kiss. The French vanilla coffee mixed with his minty breath tasted amazing!!
"Look at this," I turned around to see me. Me on Yahoo! on Twitter, on Tumblr, on the Huffington Post, me everywhere. It was crazy!
"I don't think you should leave baby you'd get ambushed." Justin said jokingly.
"I'd love to stay and actually spend today being lazy with my boyfriend but sadly he's leaving in 15 minutes," I replied while getting off his lap and grabbing my phone and an apple. Justin had business to attend to in New York and he was going to be gone the whole weekend. He said I was more than welcome to stay at the house but I didn't want to be in this glass box for three days straight by myself so I told him I'd drop him off at the airport and then I was going to head back to my loft.
"You sure you don't want to come Y/N? We can hang out in New York?" Justin said while poking his lip out. I laughed and intertwined my fingers with his as we walked near his private jet.
"Baby you have business to attend to and I would just be a distraction. You're only going to be gone for three days and if you miss me just FaceTime me."
"That's not enough! I want to able to kiss you, hug you, talk to your pretty face, hold you," he started to whisper while trailing his lips down my neck,"bite you, lick you" "JUSTIN!" I screamed while pushing him back and he started to laugh really hard and I felt myself getting hot.
"See you're already into it screaming my name!" I shook my head and gave him one last kiss before waving and driving to my home. This time I took all the surface streets and appreciated the scenery as I thought about the events that had just happened and almost ran into a tree because I was distracted by the Grammys' that were in the front seat.
I pulled up to my lonely loft that hadn't been inhabited in months and put the key in turning it slowly. I was paranoid once again because every time I came home someone was in my house and the first clue to tell me would be it was freezing cold. As I stepped in though, it was surprisingly warm? I dropped my purse at the front door and started walking down the hallway to my living room carrying my awards and humming a song when I saw Jack sitting on my sofa.
I just stood there holding my awards and he just stood there looking at me...
"Hi..."
"Hi..."
We both stayed silent and then we both started speaking.
"Jack"
"Y/N"
"I"
"I"
"You can go-"
"You can go-"
We both laughed. Something we hadn't done in a while... I put the awards on the ottoman and sat on the couch in front of him and it was once again silent...
"I'm ready"
"For what?" Jack said while looking into my eyes.
I blinked and smiled softly as I got up and sat right next to him grabbing his hand,
"To talk..."
