-- Aubree in the MM.
I have never met a man
That I wanted to be his wife
And then he came along,
it's so natural to make a life
'Cause he's a perfect compliment,
'cause I'm a boss in my world
But when we're together,
he just makes me feel like his girl
He's givin' me love, so steady
He touches my heart, now I'm ready
He touches my soul and my spirit
He's givin' me love, so steady

Aaliyah
I smiled as the host called out all the nominees for the 'Winning Year' award.
"Now, the person that has definitely had a winning year.." He trailed off as he pulled a small paper out of his pocket.

Thank y'all so much for thinking of me and honoring me with this award." I smiled.
Everyone cheered again as I went to take my seat.
I put it on the table with my other four awards.
While this night was full of love and good vibes, something was missing.
My two favorite people were missing and it was definitely making for a long night.
Ari had a test she needed to cram for so she couldn't make it.
Jas and I still haven't talked.
While I've been staying busy with work, I need my girl.
One of us usually cracks by now, I just knew she would still show up tonight but I guess she decided this wasn't important enough for her to push our differences to the side.
I pushed the thoughts away as Lance came back with our drinks.
"You alright?" He asked, obviously noticing my energy shift.
