"Martin was right, I won't win a damn thing." I said after they announced Adele as the winner for best pop vocal album. "And someone is losing his bet." I smiled up at Robert who was so frustrated at the result. To be honest, I wasn't dying to win anything because I already won everything. Having Robert by my side was hands down the best gift I'd ever get. He's my precious gift that was sent to me from heaven to light up my universe with his love and make me live in permanent contentment. Why would I bother getting upset over a useless trophy when I have him?

"You just lost two awards you're still up in three different categories and I'm not losing hope." He shot back.
"God you're so hot when you're pissed." I blurted out and felt my cheeks go red.
"What the heck Mella! Too soon!" I mentally face palmed myself.

Robert looked at me with amusement dancing in his eyes.
He absolutely loved these moments. He flashed me a gorgeous lopsided grin, "Oh yeah? Save that for later." Finishing the reply with a wink made my face turn into a red tomato. "I'm still here, alive and breathing." My father who was sitting to my other side cleared his throat and Robert chuckled, "Sorry."
"By the way you two are being extremely rude for not paying attention to the winners' speeches. Show some respect will you?" Dad lectured and we both nodded in response like two kids in a principle office, holding back their giggles.

The ceremony went on and the performances kept going as the time flew by and took another award from me. "Goodness the Grammys are being extra cruel to me this year." I said while clapping to Selena Gomez as she walked on stage to announce the winner for Record Of The Year. "This is there last chance, If they don't give this one to you we're walking out." Robert said seriously and crossed his legs. "Oh whatever, I don't care about winning anyways." I rolled my eyes. "Well we do!" Dad snapped.

"Here are the nominees for Record of the year." Said Selena Gomez after her little speech, "7 years, Lukas graham. Stressed out, Twenty one pilots. Clouded Mind, Mella Joseph." After each name people gave loud cheers and rounds of applause. Robert and my dad however were a little extra, taking the cheers to an another level when she said my name. "And the grammy goes to," Silence filled the arena as she started opening the black and gold envelope. "It belongs to Mella just freaking say it girl." Robert suddenly screamed and clapped loudly, making the entire row guffaw. She gave a soft laugh and finally announced, "Clouded Mind, Mella Joseph." the crowd bursted into cheers again and my song started playing. Even though I said that I didn't care about winning, I still got the adrenaline running crazy in my blood from the excitement and happiness. It was a great thing after all and I really do appreciate it.

"Yes!" Robert jumped excitedly to his feet attacking my lips first. Luckily, he quickly came aware of our surroundings and planted the kiss on my cheek instead, hugging me tight. "I'm so proud of you." He whispered in my ear placing another kiss on my other cheek before pulling away. My dad took me in his arms too, chocking with the tears of pride.

I walked on stage and took the trophy in my hands. "I really really wanted Twenty one pilots to win, I was rooting for them." I said first in the microphone earning a couple of laughs from them. "Wow thank you." I looked down at the gold plated gramophone with the hugest grin on my face and faced the audience again, focusing my eyes on Robert who was still standing and smiling with pride. I began to gather a random quick speech in my head, "First of all I'd like to thank myself for actually singing this amazing song." I said first, "umm I just wanna say thank you to my incredible fans, you guys are my family thanks for everything and speaking of families, I want to thank my family for their love and support except for my brother Martin, you're a loser. Uhh I'm sorry I don't know where to go from here so.. yeah thanks ya'll have a wonderful night." I ended my lame speech with a smile and walked off the stage. If it was up to me, I would've made the whole thing about Robert but it would be obvious that we're in love.
