As Esperanza made her way back to her seat after her speech, she received congratulations and applause from the crowd. However, she noticed that Drake and Justin Bieber had a frown on their faces.
"Congrats again on your award," Lucas said, smiling at her.
"Thanks," Esperanza nodded at Lucas and said, "I'm really surprised that I won the award, especially since you're such a talented artist too, Lucas."
Lucas smiled and replied, "Winning the 'Song of the Year' award for 'Perfect' was already a great honor for me."
Esperanza nodded and laughed softly, "The song you just sang is still stuck in my head, though." She paused and asked, "What's it called, Lucas?"
Lucas replied, "It's called 'Viva La Vida.'"
Esperanza smiled, "Viva La Vida? It's really a good song. I wish you could record it; I think it'd sound great."
Lucas nodded, and as they continued talking, the ceremony went on.
Meanwhile, Drake was nearby, feeling sour about losing an award to an unknown artist.
Drake couldn't help but stare at both Lucas and Esperanza, unable to hide his resentment.
As the Grammy continued, Drake was disappointed that he hadn't won any awards, especially since Lucas, an actor, had won "Song of the Year."
He found it outrageous. Although he admitted that Lucas was talented, especially after his performance at the ceremony, it was hard for Drake to accept losing the "Best New Artist" award to Esperanza Spalding.
The Grammy ceremony finally concluded.
Critics who watched the entire event had mixed reactions. Many thought it was great, but some, especially fans of Justin Bieber, Drake, and other rising artists who didn't win any awards, felt otherwise.
Lucas walked out of the venue, and as he did, the crowd on the red carpet cheered for him.
Actually, only a small portion of the crowd was made up of Lucas' fans, but after his performance of "Viva La Vida" on stage, fans of other artists took notice of him.
This garnered attention from the media, who swarmed him with questions about the song he'd just performed at the Grammy.
After answering their inquiries, Lucas walked to the red carpet, where he signed autographs for other fans before entering his car.

The social media buzzed with reactions after the Grammy 2011. One Twitter user wrote, "Great show this year! Sure, there were some downsides, but the winners in other categories deserved it, even if they're not as popular as the bigger names. Loved Lucas's performance! That song is stuck in my head now! He totally deserved 'Song of the Year'!"
Another user chimed in, "Agreed! The Grammys had its ups and downs, but Lucas stole the show with his song! Can't wait for him to record it!"
A third user added, "The Grammys were a mixed bag, but Lucas's performance was on point. I'm a new fan now!"
"Are you kidding me? Justin didn't win anything? The Grammys are rigged!"
"I can't believe Justin Bieber didn't win 'Best New Artist.' The Grammys are so out of touch with real music."
More fans of other artists who didn't win also voiced their complaints, but overall, there were more positive reactions to the show.
After a day had passed, professional critics weighed in with their reviews of the 53rd Grammy Awards. They pointed out both the highs and lows, but Lucas's performance and his win were universally praised, along with other deserving winners and strong performances.
In conclusion, the 53rd Grammy Awards had more highs than lows, despite some controversies.

After the Grammy 2011, there was one more major award ceremony for Lucas to attend: the Oscars.
This would be Lucas's first time at the Oscars.
Other artists who started their careers around the same time as him found it hard to believe how quickly he'd risen in Hollywood, landing an Oscar nomination and winning a Grammy within just two years of his career.
As before, some people believed that Lucas's success was due to his father's influence and connections. Others even spread more ridiculous rumors, like him sleeping with influential gay men in Hollywood to get ahead.
These rumors spread quietly on social media, and the one person behind most of these smear campaigns was Harvey Weinstein.

A week before the Oscars, Jennifer landed in Los Angeles. To avoid paparazzi, she wore a stylish hat and sunglasses, along with a trench coat that hid her figure.
Jennifer called Lucas to ask where he was staying, and after getting the hotel's address, she hailed a taxi.
As soon as she stepped out of the taxi and paid the driver, she spotted Lucas wearing sunglasses and dressed in casual LA attire.
Lucas was wearing a casual LA outfit: a white T-shirt, ripped jeans, and flip-flops. He smiled and waved at Jennifer.
Jennifer walked up to him and said, "Aren't you afraid of paparazzi? You look like a local.
Lucas laughed, "I've been staying in LA for weeks now, attended the Grammys and preparing for the Oscars."
They entered the hotel building together.
As Jennifer was surprised, "You didn't go back to New York after the Golden Globes?"
Lucas nodded, and Jennifer's brows furrowed, "You've been here for a while… Did you meet any… women?"
Lucas chuckled, sensing her jealousy. "You think I'd cheat on you?"
Jennifer huffed, "I'm not naive about this city. LA is known for casual hookups. So, did you meet anyone else while I was away?"
Lucas smiled as he shook his head, thinking, "I didn't know Jennifer was so jealous."
It was true that several women had approached him in LA, but he'd turned them down and hadn't had any casual sex.
"I did meet other women here, but I didn't sleep with them," Lucas said sincerely.
Jennifer frowned, "Really?"
Lucas nodded, staring into her eyes.
"Alright, I believe you," Jennifer relented, and together they entered the hotel room Lucas had rented.
As they entered the room, Jennifer removed her trench coat, revealing her sexy figure in a tight outfit.
Lucas openly ogled her, unable to tear his eyes away from her toned body.
Jennifer noticed and chuckled, "You look like a pervert."
Lucas grinned, "I'm just admiring your beauty." He was honestly aroused by her appearance.
Jennifer smiled and walked up to him, running her hand over his chest. "Be honest, you want it, don't you?"
Lucas gulped, "Y-yes."
Jennifer chuckled, "Don't think I'm as careless as last time. Our first time was risky, you know? I didn't take any pills."
Lucas reassured her, "Don't worry, I'm prepared." He showed her a condom packet.
Jennifer raised an eyebrow, "You… Why do you have that?"
Lucas smiled, "What's wrong with being prepared? I got it just in case."
"Don't tell me you used it with other women," she teased.
"Of course not!" Lucas protested.
Jennifer grinned, "I'm just messing with you." She then kissed him passionately on the lips.
Lucas savored the kiss as they hugged and felt each other up through their clothes.
Jennifer slipped her tongue into Lucas's mouth, and he eagerly dueled with hers.
They moved to the bed, making out passionately.
Lucas broke the kiss and started undressing Jennifer, beginning with her shirt.
Jennifer didn't mind him taking the lead; she helped him undress her.
Lucas then removed his shorts and boxers, revealing his erection. He planted his face on Jennifer's breasts, still covered by her bra, and groped them. Jennifer moaned, "Easy there, tiger."
Lucas couldn't help but smirk as he looked at Jennifer, "Hehe, I will not be so easy, tigress." His eyes sparkled with mischief.
Jennifer's smile widened in response, and she leaned back, exposing her supple cleavage. Lucas wasted no time, his warm tongue trailing up her firmed breasts, sending shivers down her spine. He deftly unclasped her bra, revealing her hardened nipples, erect and begging for attention.
Lucas's lips enveloped one of her sensitive buds, flicking his tongue around it before sucking it gently. Jennifer's face contorted in ecstasy, her moans filling the air.
"Oh!" she gasped, arching her back.
"Hehe, it won't release milk, baby," Jennifer managed to say, her voice laced with desire.
Lucas continued his sensual exploration, trailing his lips down Jennifer's stomach, inching closer to her most sensitive area. He kissed her through her panties, causing her to shiver with anticipation.
Jennifer raised her hips slightly, allowing Lucas to remove her panties, revealing her wet folds.
"Hello there, little Jennifer," he teased, playfully greeting her womanhood. "It's been so long."
"What are you saying? You're talking to it? You're so funny!" Jennifer laughed, blushing but secretly finding it endearing.
Lucas grinned mischievously and before she could protest further, he dove in, his warm tongue lapping at her entrance.
"H-hey! What are you doing? It's dirty down there!" she exclaimed, feigning embarrassment.
"Don't care," he mumbled, his face now buried between her thighs.
Lucas began to feast on her, his tongue dancing over her swollen clit, flicking and sucking it mercilessly. His fingers joined the party, delving inside her wetness, curling and stroking her G-spot. Jennifer's moans filled the room, her body arching off the bed. Her hands gripped the sheets as she tried to brace herself from the overwhelming sensations.
Lucas continued his relentless assault on Jennifer's pussy, his tongue and fingers working in perfect harmony to bring her to the brink of ecstasy. Her moans grew louder, bouncing off the walls of the room as she writhed in pleasure.
Jennifer's toes curled, her legs trembling with each passing second.
"Oh, oh my God, Lucas!" she gasped, her nails digging into the sheets. "I-I'm… I'm…"
Lucas didn't relent, sensing her impending climax. He sucked her swollen clit harder, flicking it with his tongue in a rhythm that sent electric shocks straight to her core. His fingers picked up the pace, curling and stroking her G-spot with precision.
Jennifer's body tensed, her back arching off the bed as her orgasm crashed over her like a tidal wave.
"Lucas!" she screamed, her entire body shuddering with the force of her climax. Wave after wave of pleasure washed over her, leaving her breathless and spent.
Lucas looked up at her, a smug grin on his face, his chin glistening with her juices. "See? I told you it wouldn't be dirty."
Jennifer collapsed onto the bed, her chest heaving as she tried to catch her breath. "You… you…," she panted, unable to complete her sentence.
Lucas crawled up the bed, planting a soft kiss on her forehead. "Your turn now, tigress," he purred, his voice husky with desire.
Jennifer lay there, catching her breath. "You're terrible," she panted, a playful smile on her lips.
Lucas laughed, clearly pleased with himself. Jennifer's mind raced with the idea of getting even with him, but before that, she had to know. "Where did you learn these techniques?" she asked, feigning innocence.
Lucas blushed, "Well, I've been… um… watching videos online and reading about it…"
"Really?" Jennifer raised an eyebrow, teasingly. "You haven't been practicing on anyone else, have you?"
"Of course not," Lucas said, his cheeks reddening even more.
Jennifer smiled, satisfied with his answer. It was her turn now.
She forced herself into a sitting position and began to trail kisses down his chest, her tongue leaving a wet trail on his defined abs. She couldn't help but marvel at his six-pack abs before her.
Finally, she reached his hardened cock, giving it a playful tap. "Hello there, little Lucas," she purred, imitating him. "It's been so long."
Lucas chuckled, but she added, "I've missed you more than your owner."
"Hey!" he playfully protested.
Jennifer paid no heed to his protests, instead, she focused on her task at hand. She started off slow, taking him inch by inch into her warm mouth, savoring every inch of him. Her tongue danced around his shaft, flicking and teasing his sensitive spots.
Lucas gasped, his hips jerking involuntarily. Her pace quickened, her head bobbing up and down, her hands caressing his balls.
Lucas flinched, his hands gripping the sheets as he tried to maintain control.
She took him deeper each time, her throat adjusting to his girth.
Lucas couldn't helped but groaned, his hips bucking in response to her ministrations.
"Oh, Jennifer," he groaned, his breathing ragged.
Jennifer's other hand found its way to his perineum, massaging it gently, applying just the right amount of pressure.
Lucas's moans intensified, his body tensing up.
"I'm... I'm..." Lucas warned, but Jennifer was relentless.
With one final, deep thrust, he came, shooting his load into her waiting mouth. Jennifer, unaccustomed to the sensation, swallowed reflexively, her lips still sucking him clean.
Lucas collapsed back onto the bed, spent. "Damn, tigress," he panted, his chest heaving.
Jennifer wiped her mouth, a smug grin on her face. "Now we're even." Her smugness was short-lived, however, as she coughed, clearing the remaining semen from her throat.
Lucas's concern was evident. "Are you alright?"
Jennifer nodded, catching her breath. "I'm okay... I just need a moment."
She then confessed, "I've been doing some research too, you know? After our time at the Golden Globes."
Lucas's eyebrows shot up in surprise.
"Really now? I can't wait to see what else you've learned," he said, his eyes filled with desire.
