Chapter 511 The Grammy Awards 1

Jake woke up rested the other day in the morning, this was going to be a lively day for him and he was too excited to go to the Grammys at night, Jake called his mom to talk to her about the latest games and also to talk about the Grammys.

Eva was very fond of music but did not understand very well about the awards they had, Jake had given all the CDs he had of Kate and Eva had also watched Kate sing in the game that Jake organized.

After that Eva also really liked the way Kate sang, Jake had already told his mother that Kate was going to run for this year's Grammy and with Jake reminding her, Eva said she would watch Kate's show.

"I think it's cool that you go to the Grammy this year to cheer for your girlfriend, being there with her can support her a lot on that day that she must be nervous."

"Yes, I think so too, mom, but I won't be able to be with her, yet she knows that I'm going to be rooting for her."

"Why can't you be with her, Jake? Aren't you going to Grammy with Kate?"

"No, I'm going alone with a ticket I got from a friend, Kate's manager thinks that revealing our relations.h.i.+p can hurt her career, which is undergoing a change right now."

"At the beginning of next year we will reveal about our dating to everyone and say that we have been dating since the end of 1998, so the media will not be able to say that it is not a serious relations.h.i.+p."

"I don't know how to reveal that Kate is dating a successful man like you can hurt her career, you two are famous and make a beautiful couple."

"I don't care about that, mom, the important thing is that Kate and I are dating, I don't need everyone to know about it, her manager knows what she does."

"If you don't mind I'm not going to say anything, I'm glad you are well together."

When Jake called his mom the topic was often Kate and it wasn't Jake's games, Eva just needed to know that Jake was happy and that his team was winning to be happy about it.

Jake tried to talk to Kate after talking to his mother, but Lily had taken her phone so Kate wouldn't be too anxious on the day of the awards, Jake had the whole day to rest because Coach Harris had dismissed him.

During the afternoon, his housekeeper brought Jake the newspaper that had important news about the Los Angeles Lakers team, the news that he already knew that Robert Horry was almost recovered and could already play in the next game and the news that the Los team Angeles Lakers had hired Dennis Rodman.

Jake already hoped that these two things would happen and he also knew that Dennis Rodman would also be at the Grammys that night along with his wife Carmen Electra, if Rodman wanted to talk to him Jake would talk to him, but he wanted to remain discreet so as not to have rumors about him and Kate.

The other news was something Jake expected, but he didn't want it to happen, it was the news that Coach Del Harris had been fired, Jake hoped it didn't happen because the Los Angeles Lakers team managers had said in his past life that reason for the dismissal of Coach Harris had been the bad start to the season with 6 wins and 6 losses in 12 games.

This time the Los Angeles Lakers team had won 11 games and lost only 1 of the games, even if he had been fired it was because the Los Angeles Lakers team should have already started talking to coach Phil Jackson so he could be the coach of the team since the beginning of next season.

For that, the team directors were willing to abandon the Los Angeles Lakers' chances of winning the NBA t.i.tle this season, interim coach Bill Bertka would take over the team in the next game, but Jake knew it would be for just one game and then coach Kurt Rambis would lead the team until the end of the season.

Of course, Jake still intended to help the team try to win the NBA t.i.tle this season, but without coach Del Harris it would be more difficult, it would depend much more on the players than on the team's strategy.

After hearing this news about his team Jake went to a hairdresser that one of his Hollywood friends had indicated, Jake had also ordered a suit, pants, and a set of social clothes so he could go to the Grammy Awards.

The hairdresser made only a few adjustments to his hair, the suit and set of clothes to go to the Grammy was from the Armani brand, to the hairdresser and to the Armani store Jake said who he was so he could get the best treatment.

Of course Jake intended to pay for everything, but with him saying he was an NBA player and an actor who would go to the Grammy, the hairdresser and Armani store would do their best to make Jake look great.

For the suit and the social clothes Jake asked for a set of black color that was the color he liked most for suits, it was also a safe color to make him look good at the Grammy, as the people at the Armani store knew Jake they had already prepared a set of social clothes and just needed to make adjustments with Jake in the store.

Jake was as handsome as the models and had an athlete's body, so it was not so difficult to make the adjustments so that the clothes fit perfectly with Jake, the store attendants couldn't help looking at Jake intensely after he put on the clothes and the suit.

This was normal because in the media there was no news that Jake was dating Kate or anyone, so several women fantasized about having a loving relations.h.i.+p with Jake who was handsome, rich, and famous.

After a few hours Jake left the Armani store ready to go to the Grammy, he went back to his house before to wait there until the Grammy start time, when the time came Jake put on his dress clothes and suit and got in the car that he had rented for that night.

Jake didn't want to go in the cars he had because it would get a lot of attention, so he chose a black executive car that was elegant, but not so flashy, Jake arrived at the Grammy and entered the Shrine Auditorium through an entrance that didn't draw much attention.

Jake arrived very early at the Shrine Auditorium, shortly after people were allowed in, but Jake's place at the Shrine Auditorium was not so modest and was close to the front in the place for spectators and compet.i.tors to sit.

Even though Jake didn't want to attract attention, he attracted the attention of the officials who were organizing the Grammy, Keanu Reeves just said to those who gave him the invitations that a friend of his would go to the Grammy in his place but did not say that this person was Jake.

After a long time everyone entered the Shrine Auditorium and sat down waiting for the Grammy to start, Jake was trying to be discreet so he didn't look for Kate, this Grammy Kate hadn't been invited to sing any songs, so only if she won she could see Jake.

If she were to receive the award she would find Jake who was in the front rows and was one of the tallest in the entire Shrine Auditorium, Jake remembered few things about that Grammy he had attended.

Jake remembered that Rosie O'Donnell would present this year's Grammy, she also remembered that women would win most of the awards deservedly, Jake also remembered that Madonna would win more than 3 awards, Celine Dion would win 2 awards for the song My Heart Will Go On that would win 4 awards in this Grammy.

Jake also remembered that Lauryn Hill would win 5 awards at this Grammy, so he thought that if Kate won one of those awards it wouldn't affect Lauryn Hill so much, they were all amazing singers and so Jake and Kate were nervous because they didn't know if she could win.

At the beginning of the Grammy, Jake heard the song Nothing Really Matters that was sung by Madonna, Jake was not a fan of Madonna, but he knew she was an excellent singer and paid close attention to the show.

Jake always watched these awards on his home television in his past life, he watched almost all the most important awards, it was really different to be in person at the awards venue.

Before the awards started, Jake had already observed all the decoration of the place, the stage was prepared for a show and Jake knew that the Grammy team would set the stage for the different presentations of the singers like the presentation of Madonna in the beginning.

The Grammy went on and Jake really liked almost everything that was going on, the Grammy was hosted by Rosie O'Donnell and she showed up several times to speak, Jake also liked her and found it very fun and different to see everything this time at the awards venue.

At the beginning of the awards Madonna won one of the awards that would be just 1 of the 4 awards she would win, then the song Heart Will Go On which became very well known after the success of the movie t.i.tanic, won the Song of the year award and the songwriters Will Jennings and James Horner went to receive the award.

Then the Grammy had the rock performance of "There Goes The Neighborhood" by Sheryl Crow, which The Globe Sessions took home for Best Rock Alb.u.m, then Alanis Morissette for "Uninvited" on the City of soundtrack Angels who won Best Female Rock Vocal Performance and Best Rock Song.

Shania Twain also won two awards that night, but Jake who was a fan of hers thought she should have won four awards that night, she won the Best Female Country Vocal Performance award and the Best Country Song award.

But Jake thought she should also have won the Alb.u.m of the Year and Best Country Alb.u.m awards, after all, much thought that her Alb.u.m was one of the best of all time in Country music.
