CHAPTER 16: The Big Day

Flashes.

Screams.

That was all I could see and hear. Sitting inside the black limo that had been our ride for the day, I fiddled with my fingers, waiting for Harry to walk me out through my side of the car. Almost immediately, the door opened, and Harry's outstretched hand was in front of me, a smile adorning his dimpled face.

I smiled back. With a deep breath, I put my hands on his and stepped out, trying to get out of the car as graciously as possible. Flash!

We walked down the red carpet with Harry, his arm around my waist, smiling at the masked people around me. We stopped once we reached the cameras were waiting for us, to click some stills, in front of the Grammy wall (A/N: I'm sorry I dunno what it's called!).

Posing for a few cameras to our left, we were asked to look at the centre. I was starting to feel quite uncomfortable. Harry might have sensed it too, so he bent down and whispered in my ear, "It's okay baby, you're okay. Just breathe, love, ya?" I nodded in acknowledgement and smiled up at him, grateful for his efforts at making me comfortable in front of the media. "There's the smile I love so much." I blushed. Hard.

I could hear a few people comment on who this "strange lady that Harry Styles brought as his date" is but followed Harry's lead in ignoring them and smiling at the cameras. I think I had pretty much zoned out to even hear what one of the behind-the-cam folks say, but I only heard Harry chuckle and reply, "Ya, she is gorgeous, isn't she?

I looked up at him at that, to see him already staring down at me, a soft yet warm smile grazing his lips, green eyes shining with adoration.

Soon, we were done and one of the staff asked us to walk on. Harry thanked everyone and guided me forward, with a hand on the small of my back, Jeff following behind us.

We walked in and easily found our table and sat down. I knew Harry had to go socialize with others. "Love?"

I was correct.

I stopped my eyes from scanning my surroundings and focused on my boyfriend.

"I need to go and talk with others. Do you wanna come?"

"Do you want me to come?" "Of course I do. I want to show you off to everyone!"

"Ok then," I replied shakily. With a reassuring squeeze to my hand, Harry guided me towards where the other known faces sat.

.........................

After socializing with a couple of people (including Billie Eilish AHHH), we heard someone call Harry's name from somewhere behind. I would recognize that voice anywhere, after hearing her songs on repeat for weeks on end.

THE TAYLOR SWIFT.

Harry quickly excused us from the conversation that he was having with someone I didn't recognize well and walked towards Taylor's table.

"Harry, hi! How are you?" She smoothly asked with her euphonious voice!

"Hey, Taylor. I'm good. What about ya?"

"I'm good, thank you. And who is this?" There it was. Another introduction, but I was sure that, unlike the other introductions, this would be really awkward.

"This is Aarushi, my girlfriend. Aar, this is Taylor!" He looked at me and smiled, before taking off his mask, Taylor following.

I tried to smile, despite the sudden nervousness. "H-hey."

"Oh, she's precious. Hi Aarushi, so nice to meet you. I'm sure this is overwhelming but please don't be so nervous, okay? Ooh, and I love your outfit!"

"Thanks, it means a lot." I smiled.

After chatting for some time, I heard Harry say, "It was so nice to see you, Taylor," and put his mask back on.

"Likewise Harry. Don't be a stranger." And with that, we walked away, back to our own table.

"So? Did you like meeting all the A-listers?" Harry asked, sitting down on his assigned chair.

"I did, yes. Thank you, Haz." He gave me a questioning look. "For everything."

He pulled his mask down and leaned in, kissing the side of my head gently.

One after the other, the performances kept on entertaining me and the other people.

Harry gave a beautiful performance, wearing a black suit, no shirt under it. He winked at me when he first caught my eye, chuckling at my surprised expression as he wore the green feather boa that I gave him back in New York. Hearing him sing Watermelon Sugar live was so overwhelming.

[A/N: Really sorry that I am going so fast and skipping most of the grammys but you can actually see it all and lemme tell you, not much happened during the show, except for Harry holding Aarushi's hand, whispering sweet nothings in her ear and other cute stuff]

Two of Harry's categories were already announced. Beyoncé, Blue Ivy and WizKid won the Best Music Video for "Brown Skin Girl" and Dua Lipa won the Best Pop Vocal Album award. And now it was time for the award of Pop Solo Album. I was nervous, Harry was nervous, Jeff was nervous.

I sighed and looked up to the host and the announcer started reading off the card. "And the Grammy goes to... Watermelon Sugar, Harry Styles!"

Had it not been for the fact that I was sitting amidst so many people, I would have screamed. I started clapping, standing up and turned to Harry who seemed to be still processing everything, eyebrows raised. He took off his mask, stood up and hugged me and I could feel his body shaking with excitement and adrenaline. I released him and let him and Jeff hug, Jeff patting him on his back.

He walked up on stage, as Jeff side-hugged me, both of us smiling wide for the man we love and was so proud of. I looked around me to see everyone giving him a standing ovation, unlike others. I am so proud of my baby!

Walking up on stage, Harry hugged the announcer (sorry I don't know her name! someone plz help me out!) and walked towards the other microphone, picking up the Grammy and placing it back, to give his acceptance speech that he didn't bother to prepare beforehand, I could tell.

"Wow, um, to everyone who made this record with me, thank you so much. This was the first song we wrote after the... my first album came out, uh, during a day off in Nashville, and I just wanna say thanks to Tom, Tyler and Mitch and everyone, uh, Rob Stringer and everyone at Columbia, my manager, Jeffrey," Jeffrey, who was now sitting beside me, fistbumped the air in appreciation and cheered him, "who has always nudged me to be better and never pushed me, and thank you so much. Also, my, uh beautiful girlfriend who hasn't been in my life for long but is my no. 1 fangirl. Thank you so much and uh, I feel grat-very grateful to be here. Thank you. All these songs are f*cking massive so thank you so much. I feel very honored to be among all of you, so thank you so much." With that, he tipped his head a bit, right hand on his heart, and started walking away, totally forgetting the award that he just won. He goofily smiled and walked back to get it, and walked down the stairs towards us. I stood up, still clapping, slightly blushing from the way he mentioned me while pointing at my direction.

He walked straight towards me, pulled down my mask and pecked me twice on the lips, the clapping crowd going "aww". I could hear Billie whooping somewhere around.

"I'm so proud of you."

"I love you," he whispered back. "I love you too."

"And I love you three," Jeffrey said before joining the hug from behind me.
