Bailynnd pov

I had gotten to Nashville not long after I left work, Morgan must have already told people I was coming because I had no issues getting back to where his bus was. I walked in and started towards the back when I looked on his table and saw some flowers a card and backstage pass "Welcome to Nashville, welcome to my home away from home. I can't wait to see you and spend a few weeks on tour with you, change if you need to if not head backstage and hang out with my mama but make sure I see you back there haha. -Morgan"

I got changed, grabbed my pass and headed to his mom. I never thought I'd see anyone more into him rehearsing than when I watched his mom watching her boy having the time of his life, we both know this was his happy place and neither of us was about to change his mind.

"Oh hey honey, Morgan told me you were coming tonight and was hoping you'd make it. He's talked so much about you I think he really likes you and you seem really good to him, hold on."

She starts waving her hands and trying to get his attention "MORGAN!! Hey MORGAN MOOOORGAN!"

About that time he turns around looking at her as she points to me he starts smiling really hard while trying to keep focus and fumbling his words "I kiss your lips
Make you grip the sheets with your fingertips
Last bottle of Jack we split a fifth
Just talk about life goin' sip for sip."

Soon as he finished he ran, picked me up and hugged me as hard as he could "Heyyy you made it! I don't know who's more excited me or mom, yall hungry we can go grab some supper?"

We walk down the strip when Morgan starts noting things, "so I actually have people coming to make you up tomorrow you just tell them what you want and they'll do the rest hair and all, then we will have to do like pre red carpet stuff so you kinda get a feel for what's to come during the whole thing tomorrow night."

The more I thought about it the more it made me nervous, million of people are going to be witnessing Morgan's new girlfriend, millions of girls are literally going to hate me because he chose me not them.

As we lay there in his bus bed, his hand rubbing my back I had a feeling he wanted to ask what was wrong but didn't want to bother me in the same aspect.

"So are you sure you're ready to expose me as your girlfriend tomorrow night on the carpet? You realize how many fans your going to upset, but I'm tired so ima go to sleep I'll see you in the morning."

He assured me he was positive he was ready nobody was going to change his mind, if his fans got mad then they really wasn't his fans. But just get a good nights sleep and worry about everything when it happens because we had a big day ahead.

I woke up to Morgan's song "Thought You should Know" but no Morgan, I reach for my phone to a text "Good Morning gorgeous (even if you are just waking up) I'm probably stuck all day with sound check rehearsal and getting ready for tonight, but as soon as I'm done I'll be there to go down the carpet with you by my side. There's some snacks on the table and the people should be there around 10 to start working on you (not that you need to look any better)"

I had went to find Morgan soon as I got ready to get his opinion on how I looked, neither of us looking at where we were going distracted by our phones when we bumped into each other.

"Oh sorry my bad maaaaaaam uh I uh Um Bailynnd? Damn you look way better than I pictured, not that it's a bad thing I just thought you would keep it as simple as possible but you went all prom queen and I'm loving it." He stumbled

"Really I thought I was keeping it casual it didn't look that fancy to me, I mean it's definitely not boots jeans and a nice shirt but still nothing out of the ordinary." I suggested

I had half up braid with the rest curled navy grey dress with an off the shoulder straps with grey heels, yeah nothing too fancy there.

"Oh by the way I brought my boots in case I got tired of these heels when you go to perform or accept an award will you bring them back because I'll most definitely be changing, who am I kidding I hate heels but I did this for you I tried to make myself look less country and didn't get called fake country" I rambled

The walk down the carpet wasn't that bad, a lot of people were shocked seeing Morgan with an actual date while others kinda questioned it.

He was nominated for male vocalist of the year, album of the year, song of the year, and solo artist of the year. He ended up winning three out of the four awards and his last one he put me on the spot.

"Lastly I wanna thank my mom and dad for always being there and being extra supportive I couldn't have gotten this far without you, my boy Indigo who is the reason I keep pushing to be better and be a better father to him and for him. I wanna thank my amazing date my awesome girlfriend whose been supportive and there for my bad nights and hear me complain about anything hah, she's gonna kill me for this but she looks amazing tonight she tried to stay classy but she couldn't leave the country behind and changed from her heels to her boots just before this."

The light aimed at me as I showed off my boots, and the heel's sitting between our seats embarrassed but hey least I'm still good enough for him to brag about.

"But I thank y'all for these awards you guys are amazing, God bless country music, have a great night y'all and GO VOLS!"

Lainey Wilson sat beside us when she leaned over and whispered "girl do you know how lucky you are, iv been touring with Hardy and all he can talk about is Morgan's new girlfriend and how happy he is, he said he's never seen him this happy and hopes he keeps you."

Part of me had a lot of pressure I mean I was already trying to keep him happy, the other part had me melting knowing I'm making him happy and other people can see it.
