111. Grammys

A/n: OUR BOY WAS NOMINATED FOR TWO GRAMMYS. HOLY SHIT. I ALWAYS KNEW HE WOULD DO IT. Okay so I know that Shawn wasn't nominated for the Grammys yesterday but let's pretend he was, okay? Explicit language in this one! Okay, let's begin!

Yesterday my amazing boyfriend of four years, singer and songwriter Shawn Mendes, was nominated for not just one, but two Grammys. I am so beyond proud of him. I literally can't even put it into words. I decided that since he was nominated for two Grammys, I would buy him two presents. I know that he goes through a lot of song lyric journals, so I want to get him another one, but I'll make this one more personal somehow. I also know how much he loves his watches, so I'm going to buy him a watch and have my initials engraved in it, that way he knows that I'll always be with him, day or night.

I decided to go to Barnes and Noble. I know that they have journals there, and I want to buy him a thick one, that way he can write a lot of songs in there and can hopefully have it for a while. I found a brown journal that said "Journal" on the front and was nice and thick. I used a gift card that my dad had gotten me to buy the journal. I then went to a place where they sold watches, and went right up to the counter.

"Hi, how can I help you?" The lady, her name tag said Kelly, asked.

"I want to buy my boyfriend a watch, and I would like my initial engraved in it. However, I'm a college student, so I'm worried about the price. How much would it cost to get three letters engraved in it?" I asked.

"Well, it would usually cost a hundred dollars, but since you're a college student, I'll cover it for you." Kelly said.

"Oh no, you don't have to do that." I said, feeling bad.

"Don't worry about it, I got you covered. Just pick out a watch and then we'll talk more." Kelly said.

"Okay, thank you." I said. Just as I was about to walk away, Kelly started to talk again.

"Y/n? Are these for Shawn since he was nominated for the two Grammys?" Kelly asked. I smiled and nodded.

"Yes but please don't tell anyone or tweet it or anything, I want this to be a surprise." I said. She nodded.

"No problem." She said with a smile and a nod. I walked over to the watches and found the most perfect watch for him. It was three hundred dollars. Okay, I'll buy it, but I won't tell Shawn the price of course. I walked back over to the counter.

"He'll love this one, or at least I hope he will." I said.

"He will. I found a hundred dollar coupon for you, so that way you only have to pay two hundred dollars." Kelly said. I was shocked.

"Oh my gosh thank you so much." I said.

"No problem." She said.

"How long will the engraving take?" I asked.

"About three days. What are your initials?" She asked. I told her. "Okay, we'll call you when it's all set."

"Thank you so, so, so much Kelly. I really appreciate it." I said as I put the receipt in my wallet.

"Of course, no problem." She said. Three days later, I picked up the watch. It looked amazing. Shawn's last show was on the sixteenth, so he'll be home by the seventeenth. I have school that day, but I'll figure out a way to get him out of the house while I decorate and get dinner ready for him and I. Soon, it was the sixteenth, and I stayed up until Shawn got home. He soon walked in the door, smiled at me, dropped his luggage, and opened up his arms for me to come into.

"SHAWN!" I yelled as I jumped into his arms. My legs went around his waist as I wrapped my arms around his neck. His hands were underneath my bum, holding me securely.

"Hi darling. You didn't have to stay up for me." He said.

"Well I wanted to stay up so I could greet my two time Grammy nominated boyfriend." I said with a smile. His smile widened when I said all of this.

"You know, a lot of people have been mentioning that I've been nominated for two Grammys, and it sounds great when they say it, but I think that it sounds the best when it's coming from you." He said. I smiled at him and he set me down.

"I know that I've already said this to you a million times, but Shawn, I am so unbelievably proud of you. Didn't I call this? Didn't I always say that I knew that this would happen?" I asked. He laughed and nodded.

"You did. You know, I wouldn't have been nominated for those Grammys if it weren't for you." He said. I tilted my head a little in confusion.

"What do you mean?" I asked. Shawn wrapped his arms around my waist as I loosely wrapped my arms around his neck.

"You're my inspiration. If it weren't for you inspiring me, I wouldn't have the songs that I have now." He said. Tears formed in my eyes and I put my lips on his. I felt my heart race as if I were running a marathon, I felt sparks shoot through me like fireworks, and butterflies erupted and flew around in my stomach. We pulled away, smiling at each other.

"You look tired, let's go to bed." I said.

"Okay. Can we cuddle?" He asked. I smiled and nodded at him as I brushed a stray curl from his face.

"Of course." I said. We started to walk up the stairs.

"Can I drive you to and from school tomorrow please?" He asked.

"I would love that." I said. We got changed into sweats and cuddled up in bed. He fell asleep with his head on my chest as I raked my fingers through his hair. The next morning, Shawn drove me to and from school. When we got back to the house, he made lunch. He said that he had missed doing that for me, so he wanted to make the sandwiches. Later on, I told him that he needed to get out of the house for an hour or so.

"Why are you kicking me out baby girl?" He asked as he got his shoes on.

"You'll find out eventually. Just trust me on this." I said. He smiled and shook his head.

"Fine. But I'm getting a hug and a kiss from you before I leave." He said. I nodded and giggled. He hugged and kissed me and then left.

I went into the basement and brought up his favorite beer. I put it in the fridge. I started to make the chicken parmesan, and as I waited for it to be done, I hung up a banner in the dining room that said "CONGRATULATIONS!" and put another sign that said "SHAWN" and grabbed the cake from the basement. I put that in the fridge too. I had also gotten a candle that was just a two because, well, he was nominated for two Grammys. I brought down his two gifts that I had wrapped and put them on the couch in the family room. Soon, dinner was on plates in the dining room, a candle lit in between our plates, and I would bring out the cake later. He soon arrived home.

"I'm home baby girl." He called out. I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around his torso.

"Hello my rockstar. Are you ready to find out why I had to kick you out?" I asked. He nodded his head violently. I grabbed a beer for him, and a water for me from the fridge, and brought him into the dining room. He immediately smiled and clapped his hands together.

"Oh my God honey, you didn't have to do all of this. It's too much." He said. I set the beer and water down and walked over to him. I held his face in my hands so he was looking at me. His caramel eyes mesmerized me as I looked into them.

"When your hunk of a man gets nominated for not just one, but two Grammys, you do have to do something. Nothing is too much for you. You deserve this. Fuck Shawn, you deserve the world and more." I said. He kissed my forehead.

"You're amazing, but this is too much." He said. I frowned.

"Do you not like it?" I asked.

"Oh no baby, I fucking love it. Come on, let's sit down and eat." He said. We sat down and had a nice dinner. He laughed when I brought out the cake with a two candle in it. We both had a single slice of the cake before we realized that we were stuffed.

"I think that if I continue to eat, I'll puke or explode or something." I said. Shawn laughed and nodded.

"Same here honey." He said. I stood up and so did he. I reached out for his hand. I felt sparks shoot through me as we touched, but I felt safe and warm at the same time.

"Let's go to the family room." I said. He gave me a confused look, but nodded. We sat down and pulled out a plastic bag that had been hiding beside the couch. I handed it to him.

"What's this?" He asked, a puzzled look still on his face.

"Look inside and find out." I said. He pulled out the two gifts.

"Oh honey you didn't have to get me anything." He said.

"Baby, you got nominated for the best award that you could ever get, not only once, but twice!" I said with a smile and a laugh. Shawn shook his head, put the presents next to him, and held my face in his hands.

"The Grammys aren't the best award that I could ever get." He said as he shook his head. I gave him a puzzled look.

"What are you talking about? Of course they are." I asked and said. He shook his head.

"You are the best award I could ever get. You're my award, you're my trophy. When I won you, damn baby girl, that was the best day of my life." He said with a smile. Tears formed in my eyes.

"I love you Shawn Mendes." I said.

"I love you too Y/n Y/l/n." He said as he wiped my tears away.

"Okay, not let's open your presents." I said. He put his presents in his lap and looked at them.

"Which one should I open first?" He asked. I shrugged.

"Whichever one you want." I said.

"Thanks for the help." He said with a laugh. I giggled.

"You're welcome." I said. He then ripped the gift wrapping off to reveal the journal and smiled.

"It's so nice and thick." He said.

"Yup. I did that so you would be able to write lots and lots of songs in there." I said.

"Thank you honey." He said as he pecked my lips.

"You're welcome. And look, it has this string so you can tell where you left off." I said.

"That's so cool. I love it." He said with a smile.

"You should use that string to open up to the first page." I said. He gave me a look of confusion, but did what I said.

"You wrote in it?" He asked. I nodded.

"Read it out loud." I requested.

"To the love of my life,

Yesterday, you were nominated for two Grammys. TWO! Can you believe it? Because I can. I've always known that you would be able to do this. I know that you're going to win them too. Shawn, I am so beyond immensely proud of you. I don't even have words for how proud of you I am. You've gone from young boy playing guitar and singing in your room so you can post videos on Youtube, to being nominated for Grammys. You've come so far and I can't wait to see how much farther you'll go. You deserve the world and more. You deserve the whole galaxy. You're so beyond precious to me and to everyone that loves you. I love you so much Shawn. I can't wait to see what our future holds. Thank you for loving me for who I am and for showing me what true love really is. Thank you for being my rock, my love, my protector, my soulmate, my everything. I don't know what I did to deserve you, but I must have done something right in order to have you in my life. You're my best friend and I love you more than words will ever be able to describe. You are nothing short of amazing, talented, perfect, every nice word I can think of.

With all the love in the world,

Y/n Y/m/n Y/l/n"

"Oh my God babe. Thank you so much. I love you so much." Shawn said as he wiped his happy tears away.

"You do realize that everything that I wrote in there is true, right?" I asked. He looked at me, nodded, and smiled.

"What you wrote in there makes this journal a hundred times better. This is my new favorite journal." He said.

"Really?" I asked. Shawn chuckled and nodded.

"Of course." He said. I pecked his lips.

"Okay, now open your other gift." I said.

"Baby, after the journal, I don't even need another gift." He said with a laugh.

"Listen up Mister Mendes, two Grammy nominations, two presents. Open it." I said. He shook his head but had a smile on his face. He unwrapped it, and when he saw the box, he gave me a hesitant look. I nodded for him to open up the box, and when he did, his eyes went wide. He looked at me and shook his head.

"I can't take this, it's too much." He said. I shook my head.

"Like I said earlier, nothing is too much for you. Look on the inside of it, the other side of the watch." I requested. He gave me a puzzled and hesitant look but did as told. When he saw my initials engraved in the watch, his eyes widened even more.

"Baby how much did you pay for this?" He asked, still examining the watch.

"That's for me to know, and not for you to find out. Don't worry about it. I got my initials engraved in it so you know that I'm always with you, day and night." I said. He looked at me.

"Please tell me how much you paid for this, I want to pay you back. You're a college student." He said. I shook my head.

"I'm standing my ground on this one. You're not paying me back. Plus, I got not only one, but two discounts on this." I said with a smirk.

"How did you manage to get two discounts?" Shawn asked.

"Well, the lady said she would cover the engraving since I'm a college student, which I had mentioned, and then when I went to walk away, she asked if this was for you because you got nominated for two Grammys. I hadn't even told her my name! I told her yes but she had to promise to keep it a secret and not tweet it or anything so you wouldn't find out. And then I picked out a watch and she said that she had found a hundred dollar coupon for me." I said. Shawn smiled and shook his head.

"Well thank you for it but I still feel bad." He said. I shook my head as I held his face in my hands once again.

"Please don't my love. Do you like it?" I asked as I released his face. He smiled as he looked at it and examined it again, turning it over and over.

"I fucking love it." He said. I smiled.

"Do you think that it was selfish to have my own initials engraved in it?" I asked with a frown. He looked at me and shook his head no.

"No, of course not. You're proving to me that you're with me no matter what time it is. This is my new favorite watch." He said. I smiled at him.

"Really?" I asked. He chuckled and nodded.

"Of course! Thank you so much for my gifts honey. I love them." He said. I pecked his lips.

"You're welcome. I'm glad that you like them." I said. Shawn and I soon went to bed and cuddled. The next morning, I woke up without Shawn. I went downstairs and found him in the kitchen, making pancakes.

"Good morning gorgeous. Look, I'm wearing the new watch that you gave me." He said, pointing at it. I smiled.

"Oh good, I'm glad. They said that it's a good watch so it should last for a long time." I said. He nodded.

"Good. There's something on the kitchen table for you by the way." He said. I walked over and saw an envelope with my name written on it in Shawn's handwriting. I looked over at him. He was smirking at me. I opened the envelope. Inside of it was two hundred dollars in cash, along with a note.

"Next time, don't leave your purse out in an obvious place where the receipt for my watch is sticking out. I told you that I would pay you back." It read. I looked at him and shook my head.

"Shawn Peter Raul Mendes! I could not possibly take this money from you." I said. He laughed as he turned back to the pancakes.

"Oh but you will. You either put it in your purse yourself or I'll put it in there for you. Use it to buy stuff for school or books or coffee or something." He said. I put the money on the table and walked up from behind him and wrapped my arms around him.

"You're too good to me." I said, my head resting on his back.

"Other way around gorgeous. You're the one that's too good to me." He said. I laughed and shook my head.

"Are you sure that you want to pay me back?" I asked as Shawn finished up making the pancakes. He turned around and wrapped his arms around my shoulder. My chin rested on his chest as I looked up at him.

"I'm positive. You're a college student, you need that money. Please take it honey." He pleaded. I was hesitant but nodded.

"Okay. Thank you my love." I said. He smiled at me and kissed my forehead. My eyes fluttered shut as I felt the warmth of his lips on my forehead.

"You're welcome. Now, come on, let's eat and then I'll drive you to school." He said. I nodded. We sat down to eat and talked as we ate.

"So, out of your two gifts, which one is your favorite?" I asked, curious for the answer. He tilted his head up in thought.

"Oh God. Um, probably the journal, just because of what you wrote in there. I love what you wrote darling." He said with a smile. I smiled back.

"Good, I'm glad." I said. I finished getting ready for school and then Shawn drove me. Class was over after an hour and fifteen minutes, and then I hopped back into the car with Shawn.

"Guess what just happened." Shawn said when I got in the car.

"What?" I asked as he put his hand on my thigh, just like he always does.

"So I went to that little coffee shop nearby, and a girl recognized me and asked for a picture with me, and I was like 'Want to know something?' and she was like 'What?' so I pointed at my watch and said 'Y/n got this for me since I got nominated for those two Grammys and got her initials engraved in it so I know that she's with me, wherever I am, day and night.' and she thought that was pretty cool and I told her that you got me a journal too. I'm sorry Y/n, but I just had to brag." Shawn said. I laughed and shook my head.

"It's fine." I said with a smile. I turned my head toward him and admired his features. It's like he was sculpted by God or something.

"Darling you're staring." Shawn said.

"You weren't even looking at me! You were looking at the road! How could you tell?" I asked. Shawn laughed.

"Because I could see you out of the corner of my eye and I could feel your eyes on me." He said. I laughed as I shook my head.

"I'm so proud of you Shawn. You're so amazing." I said. He blushed and smiled.

"Thank you Y/n. You know, you're pretty amazing too." He said. I smiled.

"Well thank you." I said. There was a comfortable silence that fell between us before Shawn spoke.

"Hey honey?" He asked. I looked over at him as I threaded my fingers through his.

"Yes my love?" I asked.

"You know how when you signed your letter in the journal you put Y/l/n?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yeah." I said.

"Someday you'll be signing it Mendes instead." He said with a smile. I brought his hand to my lips and placed a gentle kiss on it.

"I love you Shawn." I said.

"I love you too Y/n." He said, still smiling. For the rest of his time at home, we relaxed. I love this hunk of a man to no end, and I am so beyond proud of him.
