Love Don't cost A Thing

Joy(pov)

"Richard I'm nervous to leave Elvis alone with the kids." I bit my lip nervously. Richard grabbed my hand gently.

"Hon, don't be. You should trust him." He smiled. I did deep down. But he ruined my trust a long time ago.

"Where are you taking me anyway?" I smirked. Moving closer towards him.

"A fancy hotel. With fancy decor. And might I add very delicious food." He grinned. I playfully rolled my eyes.

"What do you plan on this date?" I ask. He pretended to zip his lips. I shook my head.

The car ride was long it was 1 hour long. This hotel better be that good. He lifted me outta the car and carried me bridal style.

"Mr. McCarthy" I said in a flirty voice. He gave me a while wink.I kissed his cheek as he carried me through our threshold.

"What do we have here?" I asked as he placed me down. Roses covered our bed. Candles light the room and chocolate covered strawberries on the bed. I turned to face Richard and put my hand on my hip.

"What?"He asked. He stepped towards me making me fall back on the bed. I giggled as he kissed my neck repeatedly.

"I love you Mrs. McCarthy." He mumbled slowly unzipping my dress. I moaned lightly as he continued to kiss me slowly. I giggled and threw my head back.

Elvis (Pov)

I watched as Aaron slept in his crib. Mia and Amelia keept running threw the house. I sighed and stood up. I quietly shut the door and walked down the hall.

"Daddy daddy can we have ice cream!!!!" Amelia came running up to me, jumping up and down.

"Honey, mama wouldn't like that. Now would she?" I replied. I pinched her cheek and she groaned.

"But daddy!!!"Mia whined. I rolled my eyes going into the kitchen with my two little girls.

"Let's see." I said examining the freezer. No ice cream. I shook my head and kneeled down to meet the girls eyes.

"I'm sorry girls, no ice cream." I looked between them. Amelia frowned and stomped off. Mia wanted me to pick her up.

"Daddy." Mia yawned. She placed her head against my chest, Hugging me close.

"Yes baby." I said walking up to her room.

"I miss you. You never visit anymore." Mia sniffles. I placed her in her bed and crouched down.

"You know I love you baby, right?" I replied. She nodded rubbing her eyes.

"Daddy is just... I'm really busy." I sighed. I stroked Mia's hair and kissed her cheek.

"I love you, daddy. "She turned to her side. I smiled and turned the lights off. "I love you too baby." I closed the door gently.

A couple hours later Joy and Richard came back home. Joy looked flustered and outta breath. I raised my brow. "Oh, Elvis thank you again for watching the kids." Richard smiled at me. I nodded and keept my eyes on Joy. Who never meet mine.

"Anytime. I love them." I looked at Joy one last time and grabbed my coat. Richard nodded and walked upstairs before placing a kiss on Joy's cheek.
"Joy..." I grabbed her attention. She jumped and placed her purse on the hook hanger.

"Elvis. um let me walk you out." Joy nodded opening the door. I followed her out.

"Joy, you seem off." I tried to search for something in her eyes. But nothing. I couldn't see anything. She sat on the steps of her house and sighed.

"I don't know it's everything Elvis, Richard goes into the army again and I'm not ready for that. He wants to move to California to be closer to base. I thought I was pregnant aging. We've been trying for moths now. And nothing. I don't know what to do Elvis." Joy sobbed. She placed her Head in her hands.

"Joy I'm always here for you, you know that right?" I questioned she nodded looking up at me.

"Even after everything we've been through?" She asked. I cupped her cheeks. Whipping the tears away.

"After everything."I smiled. She looked into my eyes. Then down my lips. She slowly leaned in and I did too. I gently kissed her slowly.

Joy(pov)

He kissed me and I kissed back, I jumped back and quickly stood up. Oh my god. I can't believe I did that.

"I-I-I " I stumbled for words. I ran my hands threw my hair. My breathing hitched.

"Elvis, I don't mean to. I wasn't thinking and If Richard finds out. Oh I'm dead. " I quickly said.

Elvis's eyes saddened. He slowly stood up."I understand." He frowned.
"It was accident." I pressed my lips together trying not to cry. He noded and slowly made his way to his black Cadillac.

I quickly made my way inside and slammed the door. Sliding down against it.

That next morning, the curtains were closed. Kids still sleeping. I stretched my hands and decided I should make breakfast.

I got everything out, and turned the oven on to make bacon. When I turned around to get the bacon. Richard was right there. Arms crossed over his chest.

"Richard, you scared me." I smiled. But his expression hardened.

"What happen last night, you didn't get to bed til late."he slowly walked around me. I closed my eyes trying not to Cry. He quickly spun me around and I landed in his chest.

"I was walking Elvis out." I replied looking down. He grabbed my arm forcefully.

"It doesn't take that damn long." He stared down at me.

"I-I sorry..." I bit my lip. He released me and slapped me hard across the face. I collapsed down.

"I know what you did." He said slowly crouching down towards me. I quickly backed against the wall.

"And I'll make sure, it doesn't happen again." He said before walking away.
