Deep waters

Chapter 15

We're in the elevator and my hands are shaking, it's like my whole body is on alert.

Calm down, what's the worst that can happen? No matter what i do... how much i try to convince myself that it's okay, i feel like my heart pounds faster and faster.

The elevator doors open and Joe steps out first guiding us to follow him.

As we're getting closer and closer, the commotion get's louder. This hotel room door is open and we're about to get in Joe stops us.

"Alyona, Elvis is in the other suite. I'm gonna take you there now and Sarah can wait in here in the meantime."

"Um, why Sarah can't come with me?" I nervously ask.

"Well, Elvis wants to talk to you alone. Don't worry everything is okay." He reassures me.

I look at Sarah and she looks hesitated to step in the suite, but then she gives me a nod meaning that it's okay.

Sarah steps in the suite and Joe then looks at me putting his hand on my shoulder. "It's okay, you don't have to be afraid."

"I'm just afraid that he's mad at me." I stutter.

"Mad at you? Come on." He laughs it off. I wonder if Elvis have told him.

We get to his suite and Joe opens the door, letting me inside. "Go on, you'll be fine."

I step to the foyer and he closes the door.

Here again.

I take hesitant steps because there is so quiet in here. Like i am alone in here.

I walk to the living room area and see that no one is there. Where is he?

I see the piano that's placed near the window's and it's pitch black. I walk towards it and let my hand slide it, it's nicely cool and smooth.

"Alyona." I turn around quickly as i hear that deep voice.

Elvis.

He's leaning towards the wall and has a look that's hard to decipher, is he mad or happy or somewhat in between?

My heart begins to pound in my chest again as he walks towards me. He's wearing the jumpsuit that he wore on his concert, it's light blue, similar to the white one.

"Elvis." I say, i take a step back and my back hits on the piano. There's no way to escape now is it?

He stops right in front of me, looking me intensely in the eyes then he looks at me up and down. What is he thinking?

After he has watched me enough, he walks to stand next to me, making me turn my body to his direction. Does he know how nervous i am? Because i feel like he's playing this certain game for cornering me first so that he can have this power over me.

Or maybe i'm overanalyzing again.

"So...leaving without telling me." He walks over to a draver and pours a glass of water, i think, to his glass and drinks it. "I thought we were bonding. And then you do that to me? Who do you think i am?" He looks at me.

He's mad. I don't know what to say, i didn't wanna hurt him in any way because i really like him. I really do, even if i don't know him he got me opening up to him.

I just hope he sees how sorry i am.

"I-i'm sorry, i never meant to hurt you." I start, taking couple steps towards him. "I just...i didn't know what else to do, we did have a nice time and that's probably why i left. Because i was so confused."

Does that even make sense?

"Do you have any idea how happy i was when i met you? That finally there's someone who's not after anything." He's looking straight at me.
