Love Don't cost A Thing

chapter 4

Joy(POV)

After a coupl hours with My mother I left the kids with her and Elvis walked me to my car. He backed me up against it. His Hands at my waist.

"You be careful." He whispers against my neck. I smiled wrapping my arms around his neck.

"I'll try..." I whisper. He leaned in and kissed my forehead. He backed away and I left to get my things. My hands trembled against the steering wheel.

I let out a shaky breath. I slowly got out the car, I opened the door to my house. All the lights were off. I was sweating everywhere. I carefully and quietly creaked my way up the stairs.

"Hello Joy." His voice said behind me. I froze. I didn't turn around. But I heard him make his way towards me.
"I'm leaving Richard, I loved you. But you ruined that." I cried as I felt him lips on my neck. He spun me around to face him.

His breath smelt of alcohol. He held me close to him, I pushed him away hard.

"I'm not dealing with this. Do you hear me!!!!" I shouted. And when he didn't reply I hurried and grabbed my things trying to get out of the bedroom.

"Dont be stupid, Joy-Anna." He chuckled evily. I paled when he grabbed my ankle pull me towards him. I was almost out the door.

"You, can't leave. I won't let you. I love you." He whispers kissing my face. I slapped him hard across the face. He forcefully took my arms and pinned them by my side.

"Look what you've become, my children are afraid of you!" I cried as his lips kissed my chest.

"I need you Joy, I want you." He made his way down towards my legs. I let out a cry. And prayed everything will be okay. But I knew it wasn't.

Before he could make his way up my dress. I thinked quick and kneed him in the face. I hurried to stand up running towards the door. I heard him scream in pain. I didn't care.

I finally ran out the door running towards my car. I made it!. I quickly turned it on and saw he was coming screaming my name. I turned the car out of the driveway and drove towards Elvis's.

I new I was safe there. Richard didn't even know I was seeing him. And I was glad. I grabbed my thing and walked towards Graceland.

Elvis(POV)

I patiently waited for Joy, I see her coming out of the Cadillac. I smiled wide and opened the door.

"Baby!!!" I held out my arms. She ran towards me. I kissed her head.

"I'm glad your finally back, Joy." My daddy walked towards us. Joy nodded and I slid my arm around her waist.

"Me too Vern, me too." She mumbled against me. My mafia all came down when I call d for them. Joe was the fist one to hug Joy.

"Were all glad your back, El here was desperate to get you back. I knew you had it in you E."Joe chuckled I slapped him on the back playfully.

"Hey E, you gonna tell her the good new?" Red said with a smile. Joy raised her eyebrow. I grinned.

"Nope, it's not time yet." I nudge Red.
"Dinner time y'all!!" Mary yelled throught the kitchen. Joy was the first one to get up. I stayed back and watched her helping Mary. Life it good now. And I want to love Joy not like before. But better. And I was intended to do that.

"E, come on!" Joy smiled grabbing my arm heading to the table.

Joy(POV)

I was finally happy with Elvis, like it is supposed to be. I took my seat next to Elvis and across from Dee, Vernon's new wife. Elvis never mentioned he remarried.

"I dont even like her." Elvis whispers in my ear. Dee smiled warmly at me and Vernon kissed her cheek ad he sat down.

"So, Joy-Anna. Right?" Dee looked up at me.

"I liked to be called by. Joy." I nodded. and let her continue. She gave me a look.

"So, I heard. You were once married with Elvis?" She asked. I nodded looking up at Elvis. Who had his ands balled up in a fist. I rubbed his thigh under the table to calm him down.

"Why, on earth would you divorce the king of rock n roll?" She smiled and took a sip of champagne.

"You same reason you divorced your husband!" Elvis but in before I could say anything. He slammed his fist on the table eyeing Dee.

"Elvis, cool it." Vernon stared at Elvis. Dee smiled at me then Elvis. Elvis stood up and walked out. He slammed the door behind him. I sighed and went to check on him.

"Elvis...." I began. His chesg was raising up and down. He was clearly mad.

"Why did she have to say that, in my house to! She makes me soo mad-" I cut him off with a kiss. He pressed me against him hard. I smiled this is how he calms down.

"Forget her, what matters now is me and you. Right?" I said. He nodded.

"And it had been a long time." He wiggled his eyebrows. I shook my head

"You sly dog." I giggled.
