30. Here Comes Mommy Dearest

Wednesday Sept. 29th 11pm

Priscilla's Place, Los Angeles - 8pm

Priscilla's POV

"Danny this Priscilla! Are you sleeping?"

"Priscilla? Like Priscilla Presley?"

Priscilla looked at the phone in disbelief because she couldn't believe how clueless he was acting and thought about how the Hollywood lifestyle got to him.

"Yes Danny, your mother in law! Now if I were you I'd wake up and tell me that you are home with Lisa and your child instead of at some other woman's house named Tatiana!" Priscilla had said quickly losing her patients especially since she just caught him red handed cheating on Lisa.

"Wait what? What are you talking about?" Danny had asked, still confused.

"Danny cut the act. I'm currently looking at pictures of you walking out of some club with this girl... Does Lisa even know you're in New York?" Priscilla had asked and ended up getting silent confirmation from Danny which pissed her off more because she trusted him with her daughter and the Presley name, but it seems like he may be just like the rest.

"Oh silence... Well that tells me everything I need to know. So you've been in New York all this time and made zero effort to see my daughter then to top it off you're making a fool of me."

"Priscilla—"

"No. You listen here, I don't know what's going on between you and Lisa but you need to fix it! I can't be having you going around strutting off with this new girlfriend of yours while you're still married to my daughter and embarrassing me like this. Not to mention the fact that she left you in LA for the summer; wasn't that enough for you?"

"Listen I'm sorry, but—"

"But nothing Danny! I understand that Lisa has things she needs to work on and obviously you do too, but you constantly running around with other women and then getting caught is damaging to me and everything that Elvis and I built!"

"PRISCILLA LISA IS SEEING SOMEONE ELSE" Danny had yelled through the phone making Tatiana toss around and automatically wrapping her arm around his waist trying to comfort him while Prsicilla became extremely quiet for a few seconds before asking him another question.

"What are you talking about? No she isn't. She's been too busy with this school thing and taking care of your child." Priscilla had said all of sudden calming down because she needed answers on who Lisa was seeing and how involved she was with this guy.

All of sudden feeling calm under Tatiana's touch, Danny had explained that school wasn't the only thing on Lisa's mind, but it was also Michael. "Well Priscilla it looks Lisa hasn't been telling you the full truth about all of her whereabouts. Anyways it's true she's been seeing someone, I even spotted the guy in the store... with Riley."

"Do you know his name?" Priscilla had asked softly.

"No..." Danny had told her because he knew if she knew about Michael then she would waste no time running him out of Lisa's life which would leave him to pick up the pieces like he has been doing since he has met her.

"Listen Danny I know my daughter and she wouldn't just go around and leave Riley with just anyone, let alone cheat on anyone. But then again you haven't been faithful yourself, so I guess you're both even now." Priscilla had told him trying to flip it back on him while still trying to fish for some answers.

"Priscilla what's your point?" Danny asked, annoyed again.

"I know he isn't getting smart with me? How dare he." Priscilla had thought to herself before she decided to give him orders and end their conversation. "My point is this Danny, you have one month to get it together with Lisa before November. I expect to see a young and happy couple in Memphis during Elvis week. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes, I hear you."

"Thank you. Now get some rest because tomorrow you go home to your wife." Priscilla had told him, but before she could hangout she heard a female voice in the background.

"Babe you okay?" Tatiana had said quietly. "Yea go back to sleep." Danny had told her, but then asked "let me steal a kiss." while blindly hanging up on Priscilla.

Priscilla just sat there for a moment and couldn't believe what she just heard and careless Danny has been with her daughters heart, their money and most importantly their name. Sitting in her office Priscilla looked at the pictures some more and I was disgusted with him especially since this type of behavior felt familiar and left a bad taste in her mouth.

"Priscilla." Jerry had said while walking into her office.

"What Jerry?" Priscilla had said while still looking at the photos that were sent for him.

"Don't you think you're pushing too much? Maybe you should let Lisa and Danny figure things out themselves and stay out of the girls business for once."

"How long was he standing by the door?" Priscilla had asked herself.

"Easier for you to say Jerry, she isn't your daughter, she's mine." Priscilla had told him sternly.

"True, but she's also Elvis' daughter, who's my best friend, who made me her godfather. So I do have some say so on his behalf, since he isn't here." Jerry had told her.

"Jerry cut the bullshit, you act like Elvis would be okay with any of Lisa's reckless behavior from the past or the present!" Priscilla had snapped at him, now feeling attacked by Jerry.

Fed up with her nonsense, Jerry looked at Priscilla with disbelief because he couldn't believe how she was acting, but also he realized that Priscilla never took responsibility for messing up Lisa's life because she truly never thought it was her fault. "Yea the reckless behavior that you helped cause! Listen Priscilla I've stood on the sidelines for too long and that was a mistake, but I'm done doing that and I'm here to stand with Lisa and stand up for her. That's what Elvis would have wanted." Jerry had scolded her.

"So you just want Lisa to throw away her marriage and future for some guy she just picked up from a local NYC bar and have him take advantage of her, is that what you want?" Priscilla had asked.

"Priscilla you act like Danny isn't already doing that and on top of that he's running around with this stupid Scientology crap, that obviously has done more harm than good. Listen, unlike you both Lisa and I talk almost all the time and it sounds like she's having a good time out there."

Priscilla sat there for a moment and started thinking about how much her daughter spoke to her "Uncle Jerry" and what she was telling him, so she decided to calm down a little bit just to see if he would give any type of information if she played her cards just right.

"So do you know about the guy she's seeing?" Priscilla asked calmly.

"Not really, but she did open up about meeting some new girlfriends. I believe their names are Janet, Kylie, and Trixie."

Priscilla had scrunched up her face when she heard the name Trixie and had automatically thought of something terrible then she asked him "Trixie? That name sounds like a hooker name! So that's who Lisa's been hanging around this whole time."

"You can be so unbelievable at times, you know that?" Jerry had said under his breath while looking at her crazy because he couldn't believe how dramatic she could get at times. "Priscilla seriously. You and I both know Lisa is smarter than that, but at the same time who cares as long as they treat her with some respect."

"You think Lisa hanging out with someone who is a potential hooker is good for her?!" Priscilla had told him while jumping to conclusions on who Lisa was hanging around.

"No, but then again maybe her hanging around people who actually like her and respect her is better than her being around a group of people who look at her like a cash cow." Jerry had said sternly while leaving Priscilla speechless and alone in her office.
