Say You Want Me

Grammy and BAFTA winners

"Look what came to you!" Sarah enters humming in the dressing room with a huge bouquet of white roses in her arms.

Stefani gasps and squeals.

"Who sent it?" The singer laughs of fear that maybe it could be Christian's gift.

"I don't know, there's a note. Open it!" Sarah blinks her eyes bright with excitement as Freddy brushed Stefani's hair at the Grammy's backstage.

Gaga holds the bouquet and breathes in the sweet smell of the flowers making her stomach fill with butterflies. Finally she finds the little card and opens it, her eyes already filling with tears.

To the most beautiful BAFTA winner,

Good luck tonight, I wish I was there with you.

You deserve the world.

Love,

- B.

"Oooh, I think we have someone really in love here." Freddy jokes as Gaga takes the card to her chest, closing her eyes and internalizing Bradley's words.

Earlier she got his call, screaming with happiness in her ear.

"You won, Stef!" He laughs. "Oh my God, I'm so happy!"

Stefani could only cry, words could not describe what she was feeling.

"We won, B! Thank you! I love you so much. We'll definitely celebrate when you get back!"

"Hell yeah, babe. We will! I love you too."

And now she was going on stage to get the Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and she could only think of Bradley and her fans. Starring in A Star is Born was by far the best thing she'd ever done in her life, and she didn't even remember the terrible breakup with Christian until now.

"Stef, some of your fans already realized that you weren't wearing your wedding ring tonight... so I preferred to act first and contacted Bradley's manager to figure out what we would do about the rumors that would come when you showed up without the ring." Bobby says as they walk to the car leaving the Grammy's after party.

"Keep going." They get in the car.

"So we thought Bradley had to give Irina a speech if he or you won any BAFTA awards."

"Okay... can you show me?"

"Sure, I only told you in advance because you might be upset if you didn't know."

"Obviously..." she doesn't laugh, just feels a slight twinge of jealousy.

Bobby finds the video of the speech on his phone and shows Stefani. I miss him, is the first thing she thinks when she sees Bradley's beautiful face even if they had seen each other a few days ago. Only at the end of the video she is able to hear him say Irina's name.

"She doesn't even seem happy for him." Stefani comments when she sees her on the screen and shakes her head. "And he said nothing much, just thanked her for being patient."

"Yeah... We thought he was going to say something more about her." Bobby takes a deep breath, relaxing in the back seat next to Stefani. "You guys tire me so much and never listen or do what I say. Watch the interview, he doesn't take your name off his mouth."

Stefani clicks on the next video and her heart lights up with his radiant laugh. And there he was, saying her stage name in every sentence spoken.

"See? The speech about Irina was nothing compared to that. Can you two please make my work easier?
