Chapter 512 - The Grammy Awards 2 (1/2)

Jake was enjoying the Grammy a lot, but he couldn't help but be worried about the prize that Kate was competing for, the Grammy continued and Ricky Martin performed with a performance singing ”The Cup Of Life”, which would make him even more recognized in the world of music.

Afterward, Ricky Martin also won the Best Latin Pop Performance award for ”Vuelve”, Celine Dion of whom Jake was also a fan won the Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance awards and sang along with Andrea Bocelli the song ”The Prayer”.

Lauryn Hill who was the great Grammy star sang the song ”To Zion” with Carlos Santana, Lauryn Hill also won Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, Best Rhythm & Blues Music and Best R&B Album, with the album The Miseducation.

At the end of the Grammy, she would still win the Album of the Year award, being the first hip-hop singer to achieve that, but Jake was more interested in the Best New Artist award, so Kate could compete for that award, Natalie Imbruglia had left the contest for that Jake remembered.

So the contestants for this award were the country music band Dixie Chicks that had won 2 awards that night, the group Backstreet Boys, Andrea Bocelli, Lauryn Hill and Kate, reason why Lily had spoken the Album and Kate's music could compete with others awards that night, but the record company decided to put all its efforts into winning it.

Jake was waiting for that moment and started to get anxious, soon the contestants were introduced, when Kate's name was called, people at the Shrine Auditorium applauded quite like the favorite singers.

”And the Best New Artist is Kate Annesley.”

When the presenter of the award spoke Kate's name, Jake couldn't resist and stood up to applaud, with Jake standing up to applaud some other people also stood up to applaud him.

With Jake standing up to applaud first it was natural for Kate to see him, she was really beautiful in a white dress as she liked to wear with some parts of the dress is blue which made her even more beautiful.

Jake didn't want to stand out, but he ended up standing out too much to applaud, as Lauryn Hill would win 4 Grammy awards nobody would complain about if she didn't win the Best New Artist award, Kate was very happy when she received the award and went to give a speech fast.

”I'm really happy to have won this award, I didn't expect it even if I really wanted to win, Lauryn Hill is really an excellent singer and deserves all the awards she won and I hoped she would win this one too.”

”I want to thank my fans who have always supported me at all times in my career, I also want to thank my manager Lily, and thank everyone who has supported me until today.”

”I wanted to thank my label, the musicians and producers who participated in my music and my albums.”

”I wanted to dedicate this award to my parents who cannot be here, thank you.”

While giving the thank you speech Kate looked several times at where Jake was, so if someone was watching them see if they were dating after this award they would be pretty sure.

Jake was embarrassed because he was sure Lily would be mad at him, so at the end of the Grammy when Lauryn Hill won the Album of the Year award Jake was the first to get up again to applaud and again several people stood up as he did.

The Grammy ended and Jake was very happy that Kate had won the award, Jake thought he was lucky that he didn't know many people and he was one of the first to leave the Shrine Auditorium, some people would come looking for him to go to one of the parties he had after the Grammy, but Jake was not interested in participating.

After all, besides having to be discreet, Jake had to rest because he had a game the next day, besides, he couldn't drink even then he would have to stay at the whole party refusing the gifts of the other guests.

When Jake got home he changed his clothes and called his mother to tell the good news, Eva was also watching the Grammy on television so she already knew that Kate had won, she also celebrated a lot like Jake and was very happy for Kate have won.

”I hoped she really won, Jake, you know how talented Kate is and she deserved to win this award, I hope she still wins many awards like that in her singing career.”

”I expected it too, mom, but the other artists who were competing with Kate were so good that I was worried and anxious, even Kate wasn't sure she could win.”

”I understand that I saw how anxious you were as you were the first to get up to applaud when they announced that Kate had won, Hahaha, you were filmed on camera and everyone saw it.”

Jake didn't expect him to be filmed, now he was sure that Lily would be irritated with him, Jake didn't care if they found out he was dating Kate, and with Kate winning this award they would have less trouble taking over the relationship that they had.
