Reba was getting dressed, shaking as she did so. The ACM Awards were tonight, and she was nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year. Her nerves were a mess, this was a big award, and would really boost her career if she won. She was up against some big names, so she didn't really think she had a chance, so she really was just ecstatic she was even nominated. Sighing, she dressed in a stunning purple form fitted dress which criss-crossed in the back and dipped low in the front. She then stepped into the limo and into Narvel's waiting arms, where he grinned happily at the outfit she wore. Playfully slapping his hand away, they drove off to the Awards.
Once there, they smiled for the cameras littering the red carpet, comfortably holding hands till they got inside to their seats. Throughout the night, respective artists got their awards, Reba thrilled to pieces for each and every one of them. Then the time came for the big award, FVOTY. Reba sat nervously at the edge of the seat, waiting to hear the winner, her thoughts never centering on the possibility of winning herself. However, when the card was opened, the presenter called out "Reba McEntire"! Gasping, Reba smiled and walked up to the podium, her brilliant blue eyes swimming with happy tears. She thanked her parents, her friends, her fans, her music label, her band, and most importantly, her Narvel.
Getting into the limo afterwards on the way to the after party, Reba was speechless, Narvel bursting with pride. Leaning over to kiss her, he told her so. Rubbing his hand on her leg, he whispered in her ear how ecstatic he was, how happy. Reba began kissing him back in earnest. Narvel's hand had just begun to dip downwards when the limo stopped. It was time for the party. As a winner, Reba was required to attend. With promises of later, they exited and walked inside.
Reba and Narvel separated once indoors, walking around talking and chatting with different people, Reba with other nominees, Narvel with the other husbands and boyfriends. Half an hour later, the couple rejoined and began dancing together. They floated around the dance floor, Reba still on Cloud Nine. They practically glided, the most attractive couple by far. As they danced, Narvel nuzzled Reba's cheek, kissing her neck. He grabbed her close, teasing her with his soft lips against hers. "Narvel" she muttered, "we are in public, hon"! Smirking against her, he pulled her close, holding her tight against his body, causing Reba to start breathing erratically. Looking around quickly, Reba bit his ear, then whispered "Let's get out of here!" Grinning, Narvel pulled her of the dance floor and into a waiting limo, but not before he whispered back "That's all I wanted to hear"…..
