"Yeah, they put a lot of money into this ceremony."
"Do you think you'll win anything?" I inquired as I brought my gaze back to his.
He smirked. "Probably."
I knew that he was trying to be humble with me, but I knew better. If he won any awards, he'd deserve them.
The auditorium began to fill up fast. One minute it was empty, and the next, there were hundreds of people finding their seats.
The lights dimmed then and loud music blared from the speakers.
"Excuse me, love," someone stated as they nudged my leg.
I looked up and saw two familiar faces. Weren't those the girls who answered Drake's door only wearing robes?
"Hey," the other whispered, "you came!"
One sat in the empty seat next to Drake while the other sat next to me.
"I'm Dezzy." She stuck her hand out for me to shake and I took it. "Sorry we didn't meet properly last time. Drake talks about you all the time. He's crazy about you," she whispered. "Did he tell you that we're his first two stars to join him?"
"Hey, pipe down over there," Drake scolded her with a wink. "You three can get acquainted later."
I stifled a laugh and turned my attention back to the stage. Several people came and went from the stage over the next hour and it seemed like Drake won every other award. They ranged from best male cast to best oral scenes. I had to look away every time they put a snippet of the scene on the big screen. Drake's familiar moans and breaths came from the loudspeakers more times than I wanted to admit. I was proud of him, regardless.
Drake winked at me as another couple stepped onto the stage.
"We're pleased to announce that the awards are almost over and we saved the best for last. Here are the nominations for this year's best male performance overall. Will Peretti." A clip played on the screen and I was mesmerized that we were basically watching porn in a giant auditorium together. "Wesley Tri-leg." Another clip played. "Ryan Smuts." Again, another clip played. "DrakeHudson." I turned my face away as his clip played on the screens.
The clip stopped as I turned my gaze back to Drake. He was staring back into my eyes as a small smirk lifted one side of his lips.
"And the winner of best male performance goes to..." the woman paused as she opened the envelope in her hands. "DrakeHudson!"
The crowd cheered loudly as he winked at me and stood up once again. He straightened his suit jacket and made his way on stage. He was the absolute most gorgeous man to look at and he was all mine. His tattoos on his neck and hands stuck out from his suit and made my mouth water. He might not know it now, but he was totally getting laid tonight.
He grabbed the large Golden Penis from the woman and stepped up to the podium as the crowd slowly went quiet.
"I have so many people to thank for this award. As many of you know, this wouldn't be possible without a huge team of people behind me. I don't want to keep you here all night, but I want to give a quick thanks to my team and all the execs and co-stars at XXX Studios. None of this would have been possible without you."
Then he looked at me as I held my breath. "And for those of you who don't know yet, I have decided to leave the scene." The room broke out into gasps and whispers before he continued. "I'm going to try my hand at directing. I owe my girlfriend everything." He pointed at me and several hundred eyes turned to me, including cameras that showed my face on the big screens. "She has supported me when no one else has. Together, we will make one hell of a studio. Thank you for this award. Good night."
The applause in the auditorium blocked out the ringing in my ears as I glared at Drake. He made his way down from the stage and came back to his spot before he kissed me in front of everyone. I pulled my mouth away and nervously laughed when everyone around us gawked with smiles on their faces.
"And now we'll show you the highlights from this year," the woman on stage pulled the audience's attention back to the screen.
"I'm going to kill you," I hissed into Drake's ear.
He chuckled. "Promise?"
"Oh, I promise. You just wait until you've lived with me for a while. I'll strike when you least expect it," I laughed.
His smirk dropped as he turned his full attention to me. "Are you... Did you..."
I reached up and cupped his face as I ran my thumb across his bottom lip like he always did to me. "I quit my job today. That house is theirs. I have to move out this weekend. Your offer still stands, right?"
"You're moving in tonight!" He framed my face with both hands and kissed me so passionately that I forgot there were hundreds of people around us. Everything was finally right in my life and I couldn't wait to see what happened next.
