Life Goes On || g.d

[36] UCAs-2

✱ Naima's p.o.v ✱

As soon as we jump out of the car, the screaming begins. Of course all of it isn't towards us, but it's a lot of screaming.

Grayson steps out first and holds out his hand for me to take. Even though I don't have problems with walking in heels anymore, he's just being a gentleman. I smirk and he smirks back, the thing is that the both of us know what's about to happen.

There's only one reason that I like this event particularly, it's because all the nice dresses people are wearing. Everyone is so beautiful and I enjoy just watching them, not in a creepy way.

Anyway, Grayson and I step out on the carpet and the flashes begin. Grayson has his arm around my waist and I turn my body so that I'm almost leaning on him, but he doesn't mind. The photographers screams all kind of questions, mostly about what I'm wearing. Sadly it isn't possible to answer them, I'll just have to answer in the interviews later, so instead we keeping walking on the carpet.

When we have posed for a few minutes on a few other spots on the carpet, I'm starting to get bored.

"Do something funny on three" I whisper to Grayson and he nods, I'm surprised that he even heard me "one, two, three" I count us in and on three we do a silly pose. The photographers seems pleased so we keep walking, soon we're in the middle and I know what we have to do there.

We just keep posing, and I'm just trying to push the nerves away. I know, I should be nervous about announcing it. But I really am, I'm scared of getting judged by people that doesn't even know me. I'm young, I haven't dated Grayson for too long and we're not married, I know for a fact that will bother some people. But I won't care. Who am I kidding.

Before I can analyze it any further, I realize that we're in the middle of the carpet. I do a discreet nod to Grayson and I see in his eyes that he understands. When we stop to pose, I take my hands down to my dress and run them over my belly.

Suddenly I realize what we're doing, and I start to laugh. Grayson kneels down and kisses my stomach before he gets up to kiss me instead. Let's just say that the photographers went crazy.

We walk the rest of the carpet fast, because we soon realize that there is people that want to talk to us. The first ones that approaches us is the one and only Selena Gomez, of course.

"Omg guys I'm so happy!" Selena squeal as she throws herself on me, as a hug. I laugh and I hug her tight. "I knew you weren't just getting fatter, there's a reason"

"How did you see my belly?" I suddenly get curious, because I think I have hid it very well.

"Oh please, I'm your best friend I see things like that. For instance, I've seen that your boobs have gotten bigger. And I assumed that you didn't do a boob job so there was really just pregnant left" Selena shrugs with a laugh and I shake my head at her.

When Selena mentioned my boobs I saw Grayson looking down at them, I guess he never thought about it. But they have gotten noticeably bigger this past month, so I'm surprised that he hasn't noticed it.

"Yes Grayson, my boobs has gotten bigger and it's not the only thing that's getting bigger" I state and Grayson looks very  thrown off guard. Selena and I laughs at him and I kiss him on the cheek.

"I'm so happy for you guys, but if I'm not mistaken there may be some journalists that wants to talk to you" Selena laugh and give us both a hug before walking away. I take Grayson's hand and we navigate through the crowd. A few people says congratulations and we politely thank them.

When we made our way to the first interviewer we meet a young girl who can't be over 20 years old. She seems really happy when she sees us so I smile towards her before I embrace her in a hug.

"Hi guys, I'm Allison Smith and I'm from Young Hollywood" the girl starts and we smile at her.

"Hi Allison" I say and intertwine my fingers with Grayson's. It's kinda funny, this is one of the first interviews on the red carpet we'll do together. We always do separate interviews, but since today is a special day we decided to do these together.

"I have to begin with, congratulations to the baby. I can't believe that you have gone so far together, feels like yesterday I was a kid watching the TCAs when you guys announced your relationship" Allison starts the interview exactly like we imagined.

"Yeah it's so weird. I remember that day so good but it was really four years ago" Grayson starts but pauses for me to continue.

"That day I had no idea that we were gonna end up here today. For all I knew, I would never be nominated for album of the year at the ultimate choice awards. It's all so surreal, that I'm here today with all these amazing people" I continue and look around me dreamily, it's all surreal.

"You both look stunning tonight, better than ever according to me" Allison compliments and we thank her. "What are you wearing?"

"I'm wearing a suit from Hugo Boss tonight" Grayson starts and shows off his suit nicely.

"And I'm wearing a custom designed dress by Valentino to honor this lovely evening" I laugh and twirl around in my dress before taking Grayson'a hand again.

"Valentino designed your dress?" Allison asks once again and I simply nod "that explains why it's so beautiful, that back is gorgeous girl"

"Thank you Allison"

"Can we except any new projects from you guys in the nearest future?" Allison continues and Grayson looks at me, signaling for me to start.

"Since my new album just dropped I'm taking it easy right now. But my plan is to get one single out before I give birth and then take a break to spend time with our little bumblebee" I say and rub my hands over my belly and I see Grayson smiling down at me.

"How cute, you already got a nickname on the little one. Because I assume you don't know the gender yet?"

"No we don't since Naima is barely 4 months pregnant, we're holding on it" Grayson states and I nod.

"You're not even 4 months? Don't take this the wrong way, but aren't you a little bit big?" Allison shyly asks and I laugh at her.

"I guess so, it may be twins. We don't know yet" I say look down at my stomach. And believe me, I'm big.

"Either way, I'm so happy for you guys. Thank you so much" Allison wraps up the interview and we give her a quick hug.

"No, thank you. It was nice meeting you" I say and then take Grayson with me to the next interview.
