The other women

I'll take you home again

The birthday party was still going on, as you drive up the hill to Graceland.
Your eyes were searching for mason as you parked the car, you closed your eyes and took a deep sigh to relax before stepping out of the vehicle.
"Mommy!" Mason yelled at you while he ran towards you, he jumped into your arms. "Where did you go?" He stared into your eyes, those familiar eyes... just as deep blue and beautiful as Elvis's eyes.
It hit you, no matter how much you hated Elvis at this moment, he created the greatest and prettiest boy ever.
"Mommy was stupid and forgot your gift at home, so I drove home so you could get it" you bopped his nose, his laughter was music to your ears.
"Daddy is sad," mason said while looking into the birthday party.
"Why?" You said curiously while letting mason down to the ground again.
"I don't know... mommy did you see my horse" mason pointed at the horse standing among the guest, you didn't even get to answer him before he ran off to the other boys.
You looked around to see if Elvis was anywhere to be seen, you walked around the party greeting the guests, but Elvis wasn't in the sight. A hand gripped your arm and pulled you to the side.
"Hey!" You said while being pulled not noticing who it was.
"Why did you come back?" Jerry said firmly. "I-I had to give mason his gift," you said. "Where is Elvis?" you took a sip from your drink.
"In his room freaking out," Jerry said widening his eyes.
"Why is he freaking out?" You asked. "Oh I don't know - maybe because you acted the way you did and drove off," he said.
"I'm not sure I follow, he is freaking out because I-" Jerry cut you off
"honey just talks to him... please," he said almost begging you.
You frowned your brows at him
"fine" you downed your drink and went inside the mansion.
You stood at the entrance looking at the stairs that followed up to Elvis's room, a deep breath was all it took, and your feet followed each other up the stairs until you stood face to face with the bedroom door.
You knocked and waited for a response from the other side "Elvis" you said in a low tone.
"Y/N..." it sounded from a closed-off room,
"Yeah, can I come-" before you even could finish your sentence, the door swung open and there he stood. His eyes were bright red, wet cheeks from the tears that had been rolling down his face... it was heartbreaking to watch him like this, all you wanted was to give him your comfort and hold him tight as you could. He grabbed your arm and pulled you inside the room, slamming the door behind him.
"Elvis-" you looked at him with confusion and concern in your eyes, for the first time you couldn't read him or what he was about to do, it frightened you.
"Elvis... I-I'm sorry I just drove off-" you stuttered on your words while stepping slowly backward.
"Why did you come back?" He said firmly, clearing his throat after.
Your eyes softened by his words, "I forgot to give mason his gift but-"
"No but,  honey I talked with Olivia... is it true?" He paced back and forth in the room.
"Elvis what the hell are you talking about" you played clueless but you knew exactly what he meant. "What do you mean? Is what true"
"That the only reason you came here today was to tell me that you still love me and wanted me back" he placed his hands on his hips.
A small air left your lips "honey do you know that it's our son's birthday, that's the re-"
"Doncha lie to me!" He raised his voice in frustration.
You were blown away by his act, but he knew it was true and you couldn't keep lying to him and yourself.
"Elvis, of course, I wanted you back, you can't imagine how lonely it has been without you, and then I come here today meeting your new girlfriend for the first time and ten minutes later I found you're engaged!" You could feel a knot in your throat, your eyes tearing up.
"Elvis it was supposed to be me! ME! Have I always been the other woman to you!" The tears were rolling down your cheeks.
His head hangs down low, he just there listening to your heartbreaking words.
"Elvis say something!" You stepped towards him.
"What the hell do want me to say? Ever since you walked out on me, I haven't been myself! Every goddamn night I would lie awake just thinking about you and wishing I could be a better person for you, wishing that I could change the past! Is it that you want to hear!"
His chest was pumping fast, his words had taken his breath away.
He just stared at you waiting for a response.
"I thought my words meant something to you, I was waiting a whole year for you, so I do know how lonely it gets.
And I was so hurt when I heard ya had fallen for this man, how happy you were"
"Baby" you cut him off
"No! You don't get to interrupt me. I thought ya didn't want me, so I'm sorry for being selfish and wanting to feel something again when you didn't get me anything for a whole year! You left me heartbroken and now I finally feel something again for this new woman, then you come here to tell me that you want me back! Goddamnit!"
His arms flew up in disbelief.
You felt numb, you couldn't move, couldn't get a single word out of your mouth.
"Elvis I-I don't what to say, I'm sorry, I didn't know"
"Of course, you didn't know, you never asked me. And by the way, you have never been the other woman in my life, you were the or still is the woman in my life that I so desperately wanted to marry and grow old with"
Your eyes widened at his words "still is?"
"Honey, you Will always be the woman I dream about every night, and I will never forgive myself for doing what I did to you... I'm so sorry for hurting you" he said softly while he leaned against the door frame.
You let out a sigh, stepping towards him.
"Elvis," you said under your breath, slowly moving your hand upon his cheek, caressing it. 
His eyes glanced slowly at you, "Elvis...I miss you" Your eyes slowly followed his lips, and his warm breath hit you like a kiss.
His hands slowly cupped your face before pulling you closer to his face, his eyes looking at you for permission, you just nodded without him saying anything.
You closed your eyes when his red lips finally reached yours.
The missing of his touch was finally over, and the feeling was so overwhelming, it made you slightly slip out a moan onto his lips.
With the feeling of his lips on you, you could tell he smirked at your reaction.
His hands traveled slowly around the curves of your body, while his kisses moved further down to your jaw, hitting the spot he knew was making you weak in the knees, and sure he was right.
A press of his lips on the skin right underneath your jaw made you moan out his name.
The realization hit you like a train but at the same time, you couldn't stop because you couldn't resist him. "Elvis... baby we can't" you whispered into his ear.
"I know..." he mumbled into your neck, "one last time... baby".
You pulled him off you to make him look into your eyes "Elvis you're engaged, and I'm not going to be the woman who is ruining it" the words were hurtful to say but it was the truth.
"I'm sorry Elvis" You gave him one last kiss on the lips, before you took off, not letting him say anything to you.

You wiped your tears off as you walked down the stairs, it was painful to leave him behind again...
As you twist the doorknob of the front door, "oh honey ya ain't going to leave me all alone again" his hand smacked the door shut.
"I'm not leaving you all alone-" he cut you off "Cut the horsecrap and tell me"
"Tell you what?"
"Tell me that you still love me"
A loud crowd of gasps erupted in the air, Elvis and you turned around to see all the guests in the living room.
"What the hell are y'all doing in here!" Elvis yelled out, letting his arm slip off the door. "It started to rain E so I figured-" jerry said.
You quickly opened the door, and ran out in the pouring rain, Elvis quickly turned around to see you running down the hill.
"Shit," he said before running after you.
The feeling of the cold water hitting your skin, made you feel like a little girl again. As you ran, your laughter became louder and you couldn't hear Elvis yelling after you.
"Y/N stop! Goddamn, I'm in bad shape!" Elvis was breathless and he could feel the side stitch take upon his dad's body. "Oh gosh," he said out of breath
You stopped for a second just closing your eyes and letting the water hit your face, you turned around when you heard Elvis breathing like a dog.
The sight of him was beyond beautiful. "Elvis!" You yelled at him "What, can we please go in"
You made your way towards him, meeting his lips in a deep kiss.
"I love you" the words rolled onto his lips.
You could feel his smile forming underneath the kiss.
There you stood in the pouring rain with the man that caused you pain, love, and comfort all at once.
"Hey, Bastard!" A raging female voice came closer, "you son of a bitch!" Catherine threw the engagement ring at Elvis, he pulled you closer into his chest.
"Don't you ever contact me again!" She said, "wasn't planning on that" he mumbled into your hair, causing you to let a small laugh out.
"And you!" She pointed at you, and your smile faded. "Thank you for ruining my engagement!"
"Touché" you smiled at her.
