The other women

For ol' times Sake

One year passed by so quickly, it had been a year that switched from being in love with Elvis that had fulfilled your life with joy, happiness and new chapter in your life... being a mother to being a life with misery, confusion and anxiety in your life the last past months.
Seeing Elvis for the first time at the local courthouse left you with an uneasy feeling in your heart, even though you hated him for what he had done, your heart was still filled with love for him.
Signing the parents custody paperwork wasn't something you never thought you would do, especially with Elvis the love of your life.
You remember him, being hesitant with the pen, not wanting to sign.
You remember his heartbroken eyes looking at you to confirm that you wanted to this, of course you didn't want it but you nodded to signal that it was all going to be alright.
He wrote his name and so did you, he didn't say much to you, only thing that left his lips was
"I will wait for you no matter how long it will take... I will always love you"
It broke your heart, knowing he still loved you, just as much as you do.
You left the courthouse, with the agreement that you would stay friends each other and Mason would be a week away with Elvis and a week with you when he grew older.

Four years flew by in a blink, and Mason were already turning five in week.
Elvis has been begging you to celebrate his birthday with a big party at Graceland, and you couldn't say no because even if you said no, he would still had done it.
It had been one year "without" Elvis in your life, of course he had been there for Mason but not the same way with you.
You had to admit you missed him, you missed his scent, his arms, his beautiful eyes, his stupid fluffy hair and seeing him each week wasn't making it any easier for you.
Of course you hadn't just been sitting around doing nothing the last year, you had been seeing this one guy over the summer, really lovely and good looking guy but it just wasn't the same, nobody could fulfill the hole in your heart were Elvis had been digging for the last past years.
"You came" Elvis said with a sarcastic tone
"Of course, you dummy I wouldn't miss out" you reached in for a hug, and there is was... the missing of his scent and arms was over, you felt home again.
You didn't let go of him, you closed your eyes for a second letting all the memories float in again.
You were interrupted by his cough, a signal to let him go.
"Honey there is someone you have to meet" he whispered in your ear, letting his hands fall off your waist.
His eyes rolling over to the woman behind him, she was breathtaking.
"Honey this is Catherine m-my-" you interrupted him because you knew your heart would ache by the word "girlfriend"
"Oh yeah, I have heard a lot about you... nice to meet you" you put the fakest smile on and shook her hand, feeling Elvis eyes following every moment you made.
"Oh hey... you must be Mason's mum
Y/N" she said
"Yeah that's me" you let a small chuckle out "well I gotta go say hi to everyone else... pardon me" you stepped aside and into the big crowd of people.
"Mommy! Mommy!" Mason was tugging at your dress
"There you where, my big birthday boy" you gave him a peck on the cheek and lifted him.
"Momma, I have a horse now"
"A what? Like a living one" you said with confusion in your voice.
"I'm going to be a cowboy just like daddy"
"Oh really? Mommy really gotta talk to daddy about that first" you placed him on the grass before he ran off.
"Y/N, you're here!" Jerry said.
You hadn't really seen jerry since you moved out of Memphis, only seeing him when you dropped mason off but it wasn't always he was there.
"Jerry! How have you been"
"you know... pretty good" he looked around the crowd of people, before tightening his hand around your arm
"Honey we have to talk" he escorted you out of the crowd.
You frowned your brows at him "oh hell we have to talk, where in on the plan of getting mason a goddamn horse"
He stopped a second and looked at you "nope not all that talk right now, there is something more important"
You were surprised by his words.
"Tell me"
"I will, just gotta be in privacy"
