For Seven Nignts || Elvis Presley

5.

Las Vegas. What an enchanting place it was in Alex's eyes while from outside the window of the Taxi he looked at the great lights of the city, the gentlemen dressed in gala, the equally well-groomed women and all crowded towards the casinos of the city.
But one place remained dull and dark, almost wanting to hide, the sign marked "International Hotel" was majestic and large, something Alex had never seen.

The taxi stopped in front of that structure.  She watched Janet grin at her ear to ear as she paid for the cab and dragged her out of the car with her.
- Do you see this?  -
She pointed with arms outstretched towards the grand hotel.
- This will be our home!  -
- What?  Janet come on don't say bullshit, it's closed and by the way it's too much for luxury people.  -
- This is where you are wrong my dear.  One thing you never knew about my family is this.  The Internetional finances my father!  -
Alex didn't want to believe it or maybe he really didn't believe it.  He looked at her for a few seconds jokingly, almost as if she felt teased by her roommate, but that smile fell silent when someone approached her
- Miss Moore, please, your father is inside!  -
Janet looked at Alex and smiled as if it were true.  She grabbed her hand and together they walked to the back of the place so as not to arouse suspicion in the whole city.
- This dream is all too real!  -
Come on, little dreamer, this is reality.  -
They arrived at the hotel reception, it was a real court building, decorated with the finest materials and only God knew how much Alex couldn't afford.  She looked around almost with the fear of chipping even a single object with just her gaze.

- Honey, you've arrived!  -
A man behind them was well dressed and groomed, it was Mr. Jake Moore, the one who financed that big place.
Alex was still, his muscles locked up and adrenaline coursing through her veins.
- Dad, finally!  -
She hugged her daughter and gave her multiple kisses on her forehead.
- H- Hello Mr. Moore!  -
- Alex, come on, we've known each other for a long time.  I don't think I scare you!  -
He embraced her warmly as if she were her daughter and to that Alex could only hug tightly and receive such great warmth that she had never had.

- Come on, I'll show you the show room!-
- My favorite part!  -
Janet exclaimed pulling Alex by her hand and leading her with her to that place.
- Maximum privacy, no one will have to know what you are about to see.  -
She advised Mr. Moore before stepping fully close to the large doors and hearing music coming from within, it was loud enough to know that it was moving music and that it was already appealing to Alex's senses proached her.

When the doors swung open Janet almost gave out on her knees, Alex remained distracted staring at the heavenly place and only when her eyes dropped from the ceiling to the stage did she stop in her tracks and her stomach closed in the blink of an eye .
- Nice to see you again Mr. Moore!  -
exclaimed a drummer who was on stage as he quickly twirled the cues between his fingers.
- Hi guys, are you having fun?  -
- Soon there will be the grand opening show, we should do our best.  -
- Hello Mr. Moore!  -
A voice shattered the quiet conversation, and when the three turned to where the voice was coming from, Janet nearly had a heart attack, on the left side of the stage a figure leapt out, a man with a towel wrapped around his neck as he gasped lightly.
- I think I'm not feeling well!  -
Janet whispered into Alex's ear as she smiled at her friend that she was blushing hot and very noticeably.
She clung to Alex's arm and this made her laugh and not a little, but they had to keep from her or that would have been a great figure.

- Mr. Presley, how are rehearsals going?  -
Janet looked at her father in surprise, not expecting that friendly attitude.
-Sometimes he scares me, how can he be so calm!  -
She whispered again to Alex as they watched from a distance as the figure of Elvis approached her.
-He's not a woman, and he doesn't have such high hormones as yours.  -
Alex laughed at her own response, earning him a punch on her arm as they began to laugh.
But only when they looked straight ahead and realized how little distance there was between them and Elvis did they fall silent as they never had before.

- It's a big stage after a year!  -
And yes, just shortly before Elvis had given his comeback special to live singing, or the so-called "68 comeback special" and it was considered a real climb to recover his great success.
-We know of his skill in this.  And we trust it highly.  -
- Thank you for the trust!  -
Alex looked at him intensely, studied his every movement, she didn't know why she was doing it, but she couldn't help it and sometimes she had to give an account of what Janet told her about her, she was enchanting enough to take her breath away, and only now that he had it in front of him he could test it up close.

- Let me introduce you to my daughter Janet...-
Elvis looked at Janet with a cheeky half smile, they looked at each other intensely and Janet nearly burned him with her gaze.  The man grabbed her hand giving a small kiss on it while Janet stood looking at him as if she had just seen a real God.
- It's- it's nice to meet you, Mr. Presley!-
- Only Elvis darling!  -
He smiled at her again staring into her eyes as if to find something too interesting in them.
-And she is her friend Alex Brown!  -
Alex felt those eyes burning on him, her skin felt burned under that man's too strong and intense gaze.
- H-hello!  -
Alex stammered for no reason on earth that she could find in his head.
- My pleasure, Miss Brown.  -
They shook hands and Elvis repeated a second kiss given to Alex.
He didn't take his eyes off her, he was still fixed on that chubby figure that was hers and hers put her in a complete uneasiness that he hoped to be able to escape in less than two seconds.
She felt insecure, and when someone stared at her so much, her head would start traveling towards the doors of negativity, never calculating that maybe it could be a beautiful thing, it could turn out to be a beautiful girl but she was too blindfolded to see it , he still had his eyes closed and unsure about being able to open them.
