Remembrance

Chapter 6: Trouble

The next morning I woke up to my telephone ringing. I stumbled out of bed and tripped over my heels from last night. My eyes were still getting use to the light and I couldn't see half of what I was doing. Finally I decided to crawl to the phone, and after miserable seconds I got to the obnoxious alarm. I cleared my throat "Uhm, Hello?" I tried to sound like I hadn't just had the worst morning possibly ever. "Kay?" the familiar low, sexy voice hummed in my ear. 'oh God...' I didn't know what to do. It was Elvis and I was worried as to why he was calling me. "Uhm, Elvis, is that you?" I tried to gain my self control before I started freaking out. "Yeah, hey honey, I couldn't help myself, I had to call you.." He chuckled into the phone. I smiled. Suddenly I remembered that he was married, oh but I really just wanted to be held by him again. "Heh, that's sweet. What do you need?" I didn't care anymore. I could be his friend. I could control myself. "Well I wanna see you honey, can you come over?" his voice hummed like he was serenading me. "Yeah, I think I could do that... but is Priscilla there?" I knew if she was I would feel guilty. "No honey, she isn't. I'll see you in a few then?" he cleared his throat. I could tell he was nervous. "Yes, I will you see then E. Bye" "Thank you honey, bye" I hung up the phone. What was I going to do? What was I going to wear. I had to make sure it wasn't too sexy. I didn't want to make it any more challenging than it was already going to be. I decided with a simple dress. It was shorter than I wanted, but I hadn't gotten the chance to wear it out yet. I checked myself out in the mirror making sure I was suitable. My hair was long and wavy, natural, as I always loved it. My thin winged eyeliner made my eyes stand out. I had to admit I looked good. My driver lead me to the car and as we drove out I waved bye to the fans at the complex. We finally arrived to his home in Los Angeles. It wasn't the magnificent Graceland, but it was just as beautiful. I wondered how many girls had been here before. I am sure more than I could count on my hand and feet. Before I could step out of the car he was out of the house and walking down to meet me. He opened the car door for me and held my hand as I stepped out. "Wow Honey, you look stunning.." He looked me up and down. "Spin for me baby" he grinned. I was not about to be his puppet. "Excuse me? Elvis I am not under your command, if I want to spin I will. I am not like every other woman you have had here. I make my own rules." I smiled. I was slightly kidding but I knew he could tell I meant it a bit too. "I am sorry honey, I just wanted to take you all in" he looked down and let go of my hand. "Oh stop, you play that guilt trick on me and I might just spin for you" I pull his chin up and look in his eyes. Gorgeous as always. "Let's head in honey" He took my hand and guided me into his home. He gave me the tour and showed me everything, he had his arm around my waist the whole time. I adored it. I didn't care about what he was saying, I just wanted him to keep holding me. When he was showing me the backyard I laid my head on his shoulder and wrapped my arm around his waist. I could feel his eyes on my forehead and his breath on my hair. "Honey, I really never did stop loving you, ya know?" he whispered and kissed the top of my head. "E, I don't care if you did or not. I just want to enjoy this right now" I smiled up at him. I really didn't care if he stopped loving me. I had stopped loving him after we split. But in this moment, I didn't care. I loved him just as much as I did when we split up. "Let's go in honey" we walked inside and up to his room. I knew I needed to control myself but I also didn't care that much. I needed to figure out what I was going to do quickly. He let go of me and leaned against his bedroom doors, closing them. I walked in and took his room in and then turned around to face him. He was so fit. You could see every beautiful line and muscle on him. He was wearing a dark blue button up shirt and fitted pants. I wanted to take him all in. "God, I can't get over how much of a man you are now" I laugh out and smile. He grins, "Baby, I was thinking the same thing about you. Your such a beautiful woman" he came up to me and pulled me close to him. I could feel his heartbeat. Just like I could when we were in his car, when I was sitting on his lap in his parents home. The flashbacks were overwhelming. E and I had been through so much and for us to finally be back together, even if it was for just a day was magical. A single tear rolled down my cheek. I looked up and smiled weakly. "What's the matter honey?" He gently wiped it off with his thumb. "Nothing, I just.... I have missed you" I confide to him. "Honey, you don't have a clue as to how happy that makes me" He hugs me close to him. He takes my face in his hands and our eyes meet. His lips slowly meet mine and a shock of energy makes us pull back. "It's still there" I grin. He meets my lips again with his and we quickly begin to heat up. In my head I knew I needed to stop, but my heart told me to continue. I finally decided to go for it. I knew in my heart that I wasn't just another girl to him, and this wasn't my first time. I began to unbutton his shirt and  pulled it off. I felt his chest with my hands as we continued to passionately kiss. He pulled my dress off and picked me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist and he laid me down on the bed.

I woke up that night with his arms wrapped around me. A blanket engulfed both of us and I was reminded as to what had taken place. I grinned to myself. I knew I should have felt guilt, but I didn't. I was really happy. I felt warm and not lonely. I rolled on my other side to face him. He was even more perfect when he was sleeping. I outlined his eyes and mouth with my first finger. I softly guided my fingers through his hair and kissed his nose. I rolled back over and got up and walked to the restroom. I ran the water and started removing any makeup that was left. I heard him groan and knew he was waking up. I put on one of his robes and walked back into the bedroom. "Hello handsome, good evening" I smile down at him. He smiles his big wide grin, and winks at me. "Hello there beautiful, you going commando under there?" he points to the robe. "You know that's mine and I am never washing it ever again now" He bellows out a huge laugh. I smirk, "Well if you must know I am going to take a shower. And you better wash this!" I jump on the bed and lay my head on his arm. I kiss him on his pink, full lips and smile. He holds my face in his hands again and begs my mouth for more. "No, you get me carried away and I will waste water. I need to take my shower" I walk back into the bathroom. I hear him get up and follow behind me. He stops at the doorway and watches me get in. "You know I could help you reach those hard to get to spots" He winks at me. "Oh, well that would be very helpful and I am sure that's all you have in mind" I laugh out.

After our shower I know it's about time for me to head home. I am sad about it, but it has to happen. I tell E I have work in the morning and that although I would love to spend the night I need to get up early. "Okay honey, drive home safely. I am going to call you tomorrow, I want to see you again as soon as possible" he kisses me on the neck. "E, I want to see you again too. But you're married. This was fun but I am worried about Priscilla. If your willing to cheat on her with me, you're willing to cheat on me with someone else." I look down knowing what I said is the tragic truth. "Honey, that's not how it is. Priscilla and I are going through a rough patch and were going to get separated. I want to be with you" He holds my hand in his. I look up, I could see right through his lie. For some reason, though, that is inexplicable, I believed it.  "Okay, call me tomorrow" I kiss him and wrap my arms around his waist. He holds me and kisses my ear. "Baby, I will call you as soon as you get home tonight, I promise" I finally pull away and go out and get in my car. The whole car ride I dreamt about wanting to spend the night with him. His love was all a girl could need.
