╢ You be always on my mind ... obsessively ╢Elvis Presley╢

💔 It started, part one 💔

Elvis didn't call until a day later. Patti, though she didn't believe it herself, was excited about his call. Normally she would have gone for a walk in the neighborhood, but after Rhonda's husband attacked, she had limited herself to the square reserved for hotel guests - there was a swimming pool, sun loungers, and a cozy gazebo.

After Rhonda's husband attacked, she was afraid to move on by herself. She may have come back to Memphis, but if she was going to be realistic, she hadn't been here for ten years, and that was a long time. In an interview with the kind receptionist, she found out that the crime rate here has increased by 30% and it is better not to walk the streets alone.

—If he wants to go somewhere, you'd better do it with someone — said the young woman. — Make an appointment with one of your friends.

Patti thanked her politely and laughed mentally. Her only friend was Elvis Presley, who unfortunately, to his misfortune, could not go out for a silly ice cream in broad daylight without the risk of being cornered by an excited crowd and being torn alive by fans.

If she and Elvis were going to go out together, it would only be if Elvis was wearing a disguise. It made her feel better. They always had an alternative.

Jesus, I really think about spending time with him. Did I really miss it? Contact with him for so many years?

Patti, who was walking down the hall, thought. She had never considered losing contact with Elvis - her parents respected him very much, but they refused to go back to the past - especially the one that reminded them of Dixie. Elvis was a living memory of their daughter after all - and he was everywhere.

In the United States, he was a national pride, and Dixie's parents knew him from a time when he was a shy and polite boy who lived modestly with his parents. Patti knew her parents hoped Elvis would be their son-in-law. They liked him - he and Dixie loved each other so much, after all.

But the youthful feeling matured the moment Dixie began to realize where their relationship was going. Elvis, a boy from nowhere, suddenly became famous and changed his lifestyle. It was done in small steps, but Dixie was enough. Thanks to a trick, she learned enough to make the most difficult decision of her life.

Yes, the hardest. Patti reached the door to her room and put her hand on the doorknob. In fact, Dixie never stopped loving Elvis, but the prospect of losing her privacy terrified her. Perhaps she would have accepted living with a superstar one day, had it not been for the fact that Elvis was drawn to betrayal.

Patti opened the door and stepped inside. At the same moment the phone rang. Patti closed the door and ran to the phone. She picked up the phone, guessing who it might be.

—Hello?— Patti asked. On the other side, she heard a familiar chuckle.

—Hi, little Patti — Elvis said calmly. —Did you miss me?

—I was thinking about our meeting — Patti did not answer directly to his question. —It was so nice.

— Could be again. Would you like another date?

Date. Patti swallowed and tightened her hand on the receiver. Yes, after all, she was on a date with him, it wasn't just a friendly meeting.

—Patricia? Are you there?

— Yes  — she replied. — You know ...

— What do I know, darling?

Girl you got into it. You knew which direction it was going to go and don't make a fool of yourself.

—I know I want to see you again — Patti said softly, surprised at her own confession. —Do you want this?

—Of course, little one — Elvis said sweetly. —Our last meeting left me unsatisfied. I want to star gaze with you again, little Patti.
