Christina's POV

February 1984

"Christina! Michael! Over here!", a photographer called.

We were smiling at the cameras at the red carpet before entering the hall for the Grammy Awards.

Michael was nominated almost everywhere and I was nominated twice.

'Thriller' was officially the most selling Album of all time and I knew that Michael's piece of Art would be huge but he always doubted it.

"I wanna sit next to Christina!", Emmanuel called while we were searching for our seats.

"But she is my Date and my Girlfriend.", Michael smiled.

"I don't care about that.", Emmanuel giggled.

"Ugh, you guys are so stubborn, I will sit in the middle then!", I chuckled and sat down.

Michael walked quickly to the seat that was on my right and little Emmanuel to my left.

"I think you both are going to win today.", Emmanuel said with his sweet child smile.

"That would be great.", I replied.

"I hope so.", Michael sighed.

"What's up?", I asked.

"Nothing, I am a little too excited and worried.", he replied while playing around with his glasses.

"You should really take those glasses off, I hate not seeing your beautiful eyes.", I told.

"Let's make a deal, if I win all of my nominations, I will take them off. Deal?", Michael suggested.

"Deal! I am in, I believe in your work.", I smiled

"That's a great deal, I wont have to take them off.", my Boyfriend giggled.

"You are stupid.", I grinned.

"And you are beautiful.", he smirked while biting his bottom lip.

"Hello you guys.", Quincy said and took a seat with his wife Penny.

"Hello.", we all replied.

"Hello Miss Grimmie, you are on stage in ten minutes, opening the show for us, just wanted to remind you.", a woman told.

"Oh yes, thank you.", I replied.

"What are you going to sing?", Michael asked.

"You'll see, it's for you.", I smiled.

The stage was fully black when I went on it. The woman from earlier helped me to find the microphone.

Michael's POV

The stage was completely black, like the first time I've seen Christina perform at the Grammy Awards four years ago.

I couldn't believe how much we went trough together since then.

A melody was played on a piano and the stage became a little lighter.

This time Christina wasn't the one who was playing the piano. It was some random guy and she was standing behind her microphone and began to sing.

"...Cause every time I'm slipping away from myself, you're the one that moves me like nobody else...", she sung and I got chills all over my body.

Christina performed her song 'With Love' which was meant for me with pure passion and love. The whole crowd was amazed by her performance.

When the music ended, everyone was standing on their feet, clapping and cheering.

The beautiful creature in the long dark blue dress smiled at me and walked to me.

"I have no words.", I said before kissing her lovingly.

Christina was sitting next to me while the winners were presented.

"...the Grammy for Album of the Year goes to...There is no winner! Just kidding! Michael Jackson with 'Thriller'!", the announcer called.

"There you go, first nomination and first Grammy, congratulations!", my Girlfriend smiled and kissed me.

I went up to the stage with Quincy.

Christina's POV

"Uhm.. This is a great honor. I'm very happy. I would like to thank Epic Records, the best Record Company in the world. And the best..", Michael started but the crowd interrupted him with their screams and cheers.

"The best President at any Record Company, come up Walter where are you?", Michael asked and pointed to the stage for Walter to come up, while the whole crowd still cheered.

"I'd like to thank Michael. His Album 'Thriller' is more sold than any other Album in the history of music. And to be honest he is the man who has shown us the way in music, in dance and he is the man! Thank you.", Walter said and hugged my Boyfriend.

"I also would like to stay something very important that, uhm... some people are Entertainers, some people are great Entertainers, some people uhm... our followers and some people make the path and are pioneers. I'd like to say that Jackie Wilson was a wonderful Entertainer.", Michael told and the whole crowd cheered and clapped to remember Jackie Wilson who died a month before.

"This is one of my best friends in the world, I love Quincy Jones and he is a wonderful producer and a wonderful person.", Michael smiled and wrapped his arm around Quincy's shoulders.

"I'm trying to keep this short but ten years ago today I've had a critical surgery, I am happy to be alive because this is the best present any 50 year old can get. I think Michael Jackson is one of the greatest people and greatest talents I've ever met. I'd like to thank my Family and mainly the public who made this happen. Thank you.", Quincy added before they left the stage.

Michael sat next to me whipping with his foot the whole time waiting for me to win my nomination.

"And the winner for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female goes to...  Christina Grimmie with 'Feelin' Good', congratulations!"

The whole crowd cheered and my song 'Feelin' Good' was played.

"Oh my god.", I whispered while Michael was hugging me and kissed my cheek.

I went to the stage to receive my Award.

"Oh god. Thank you Jesus you are so good. I'd like to thank all my beautiful Frands out there, you guys rawwk and of course my manager Brian Hecox who couldn't made it today. This is a great honor, thank you.", I said and left the stage with my Grammy.

"One out of two, I am happy!", I chuckled when I went back to my seat to Michael.

"I knew that you would win a Grammy tonight!", little Emmanuel said.

"Smart boy, but I was sure that I wouldn't win 'Album of the Year' while this Genius was also nominated for it.", I laughed

"Oh come on, 'With Love' is amazing.", Michael wrapped his arm around my waist pushing me closer to him.

More winners were announced and Michael and Quincy were almost the whole time on the stage and I couldn't be any prouder of them.

They were so happy about the success. It was a great feeling to work your ass off and then be rewarded with such honorable Awards.

"...So this is my last Grammy and I made a deal with my Girlfriend Christina. She told me that I should take my glasses off and she won. So this is for her. I love you.", Michael spoke with his sweet smile and took of his sunglasses. The whole crowd cheered, especially the girls in the balcony.

I caught myself on the big screen, which was next to the stage and smiled like a fool.

Michael was walking towards me with Quincy.

"What have I told you?", I giggled.

"Like I've said, you won.", he smiled.

"So, how does it feel to win eight Grammy Awards in one night?", I asked, reminding him of the first time we met.

"Incredible."
