I stand outside Sandy's Bar in the freezing cold waiting for Elvis. I Wonder if he will be wearing my jean jacket?. I lean against the brick wall and slide my fingers up and down the prickly clay brick. Before my nerves get the best of me i hear giggling. Jess and David stumble up to the door and i notice Jess' and Davids Eyes are blood shot. I notice Jess wearing a black top tucked into a denim skirt and she's wearing docs and so is david.
"Are you high?" I question them
David stands up straight while Jess is putting all her weight onto him.
"Just a little to kill my nerves" Jess laugh and I notice a red spot on her neck.
"And is that what i think it is!" i laugh nudging Jess.
"no!" she trys to hold back her laugh but fails
"oh my god, you guys are so a thing. go on inside ill be there in a second."
David wraps his arm around Jess as they make there way inside and I'm about to follow them when I see Elvis walk up the ally. His hands are in his pockets and he wears a black cardie. my heart sinks a little.
"hey" i smile and he smiles back.
"Thanks for waiting. lets go inside" he grabs my hand and leads me inside.
I first see a big red curtain and I'm guessing on the other side is the stage. Elvis doesn't let go of my hand until wear standing in front of Mr Phillips.
"Are you kids ready?"
before we can reply Jess and David join us.
"Jess. Maddi your up first. then David and then Elvis. I have people here to see you so do your best. and i got these for you."
Mr Phillips takes two red bandanas and hands one to me and Elvis.
"And for you two" he turns around and a younger lady gives him two pale jean jackets and he hands them to Jess and Daivd.
"Something for them to remember you by" he smiles
"go on put them on. and ill talk to you after your performances" he smiles brightly at us and walks off. I turn to elvis holding the bandana.
"how do i wear this?" i question.
I look up at elvis and he has already tied it around his neck.
"here" he takes it from my hands and ties it around my neck. his cold fingers touch my skin and i want to melt into the floor.
"thanks" I blush
"good luck out there" he nudges my elbow
"you two" I turn to Jess and she has her jacket on.
"ill see you later" david walks off with elvis and I stare at Jess.
"IS THIS REAL?!!?!" she screams
"HOLY SHIT" i scream back
"Maddi, David is everything he's so funny and his style is everything and i think i love him."
my mouth drops open
"JESSICA I WANT TO CRY" we both jump up and down when someone yells at us.
"your up in 5!"
"maddi how are you and Elvis?"
"i have no idea but he is so hot and so caring."
"this has happened so fast" she smiles
"tell me about it. what song are we gonna do?"
" A little less Conversation" Jess adjusts her jacket when I grab a guitar and Jess grabs an electric one and before we know it the curtains are opening.
The light shines so bright I have to shield my eyes for a second and jess doing the same.
We both go up to this mics when I see Elvis.
He's standing next to David at the bar. and Davids eyes are glued on Jess.
I better say something.
"Thanks ladies and Gentlemen. This song is called a little less coversation"
Looking around and theres so many people here. A big crowd stands in front of us.
"1.2.3.4"
Jess and I both play hard. This is our chance. Our moment.
" A Little less conversation a little more action please.."
Half way through the song and were jumping up and down and the crowed has doubled and everyone is dancing and jumping up and down with us. My fingers start to sing and my heart is pounding and my eyes look to Jess and she smiles at me.
We're in our element.
When we finish I'm breathless. that was awesome!
We head off stage and a guy comes up to us and takes out guitars.
"What a rush! that was amazing!" I hug Jess and we walk down the side stairs to be out with the crowd.
"You girls play so well!" A older lady cheers
"You've got some real talent lady's!" Another one yells.
"Let's go sit with Elvis. Davids up next!" smiles Jess.
We find Elvis and before I can say anything he hugs me. I feel so safe. I don't want him to let go but he does.
"you guys played so well" he smiles down at me and I want to kiss him so bad but I hold back.
giggling my head off Jess smiles at me.
I sit on a stool close to Elvis and he puts his arm around me. Mother of god. My hole body stiffens up.
The Curtin opens again and David appears on the stage.
