Awards ceremony part II
The limo came to a stop. Strawberry placed a kiss on Venus's lips. They waited for their security to open the door before they stepped out. Venus listened to the sound and of people cheering at the sight of her. She placed a hand on Strawberry's hip, holding her close as they both started walking down the red carpet. Venus occasionally stopped to sign some pictures causing more screaming and sobbing.
Venus was stood on the stage, a wide smile on her face as she looked around at the guests sat down. She held three trophies in her hands. She had slight tears in her eyes as she looked over at where Strawberry was sat next to a member of security. Strawberry had a wide smile on her face.
"I just want to thank you all so much... this means the world to me. I have so many amazing people working for me including my wonderful nephew Alex. Without my employees I wouldn't be stood here today. And I would like to thank every one of you who have purchased any of my products. Without customers we'd be at loss" Venus smiled, her eyes still on Strawberry "I'd also like to thank someone very special to me. Someone I have only known for three months but has already found a special place in my heart. Strawberry, my beautiful and supportive girlfriend. I don't often throw this word around but... I definitely love that girl and I'm glad that you'll all get to hear her singing at the after party later"
Everyone started clapping as Venus headed back to her seat. Before she could get to it Strawberry stood up and ran to Venus, wrapping her arms around her and joining their lips in a kiss. Everyone around them started cheating louder, a few people letting out excited screams.
Venus saw the flash of cameras as they pulled away from each other and moved to sit down. Strawberry took Venus's hand in her own and gave it a tight squeeze. They looked at each other then shared a soft kiss.
"Congratulations, Miss Winter~" Strawberry whispered against Venus's lips
"Hmm... thank you sweetheart. I love you" Venus muttered, tracing her hand over the back of Strawberry's neck
"I love you too"
Strawberry was sat in one of the changing rooms. She was applying more makeup. Venus walked behind her and placed a hand on Strawberry's shoulder. She placed a kiss to her head then let out a quiet hum.
"Please tell me you're keeping your hair like this... it's beautiful..." Venus whispered, tracing her fingers through the light blonde strands
"If you like it... besides, bleaching it all the time wasn't good for it..." Strawberry sighed
"Well it feels great"
"Hm maybe so but don't play with it too much, you'll ruin the curls..."
Strawberry finished her makeup then turned to face Venus. Smiling, Venus placed her hands on Strawberry's cheeks, pulling her into a kiss. Just then there was a knock on the door. It opened and Alex walked in.
"Strawberry, you're on in 5" Alex muttered
"Right... thank you" Strawberry weakly smiled
"We'll be out soon" Venus added
Alex nodded and went to walk out. Before he could Venus grabbed his arm. Alex turned to face Venus and watched as she looked him up and down.
"Don't work too hard okay? You only had surgery three weeks ago..." Venus whispered
"I'm fine Venus... don't worry. Oh... and by the way Lilly's here" Alex smiled
"S- she is...?" She ran a hand through her hair "Jesus I haven't seen her in years..."
"Who's Lilly?" Strawberry asked
"My twin sister..."
"You have a sister?"
"Yeah. Didn't you know...?"
"No"
"Oh... well I do.."
Strawberry slowly walked into the stage. She looked around at the people spread around and gave a weak smile. She then turned to look at Venus who was stood at the side of the stage out of sight from everyone else.
"Hi everyone... my name is Strawberry and this is my first real performance. And if you can't tell I'm kinda nervous. But I've wanted this for so long so... I'm going to try my best and I hope you all enjoy my singing. Tonight I'll be singing I love you by Billie Eilish" Strawberry muttered into the microphone
People started clapping. The music started playing as Strawberry gripped onto the mic, taking in a deep breath. She started singing making Venus's smile widen.
Venus watched everyone's lips curve into smiles. She then looked at Strawberry, seeing how she poured every emotion in her body into singing made Venus's heart flutter.
Venus then felt a hand rest on her shoulder. She turned to see Lilly stood there. Their faces were almost exactly similar. Lilly had one blue eye and one light grey eye and a large scar over it. They looked at each other before smiling and wrapping their arms around each other.
"I miss you.." Venus sighed
"I missed you too..." Lilly whispered
"How have you been?" She pulled away from the hug
"Pretty good actually, what about you?"
"Better than I've been in years"
"Why?"
Venus turned to look at strawberry. Lilly moved to stand next to her as they both listened to her singing. The song came to an end as everyone started cheering. Venus pat Lilly's shoulder before running off onto the stage and lifting Strawberry up making her laugh before they shared a kiss.
Lilly smiled then looked behind her at the sight of Alex helping a woman with greying hair and grey eyes up to where Lilly was stood. Lilly took the woman's other hand in her own as her smile widened.
"I just want to say thank you to everyone of you for tonight. It's been possibly the best night of my life" Venus smiled, placing Strawberry down on the ground
Venus noticed that people were looking at the side of the stage. She turned to see Alex and Lilly helping the older woman into the stage. Venus's eyes immediately filled with tears. Once the three had reached where Venus was stood the older woman placed her hands on Venus's shoulders and gave a soft smile.
"M- mum...?" Venus whispered
"I'm so proud of you hun..." the woman smiled, wiping Venus's tears away
Venus tightly wrapped her arms around her mother then pulled Alex and Lilly into the hug too. Strawberry gave a small smile as she turned to the mic.
"For those that are wondering... this is Venus's mother, sister and nephew. She hasn't seen her mother and sister in years. Alex told me about this and I instantly searched them up, getting in contact and invited them here tonight" Strawberry explained
"You knew...?" Venus asked
"Yes... and I did this for you. Family is the most important thing in the world... sometimes you don't realise how important they are until you think they're gone..."
Venus grabbed Strawberry's arm and pulled her to join their hug. Everyone started cheering loudly, some clapping their hands. Venus had tears trickling down her cheeks as she held them all close.
"I love you... all of you..." Venus whispered
