Private Presley

Chapter 4: Second visit & First kiss

My 1st day of school was a great one. I signed up for drama club and made new friends. Cheyenne and Dalania. They were two girls who were in my geometry class. And I had most of my classes with Lucy so it wasn't a bad day. After I got home from school, I walked into the kitchen and saw my mom baking chocolate chip cookies. "Hi Nikki, how was your 1st day?" She asked me giving me a hug. "It was good. I met two girls, Cheyenne and Dalania . They're in my geometry class. " I told here getting me a glass of water. "How was your day?" I asked my mom before taking a sip of my water. "It was good. I got a call from Mr.DeNiro. He told me that Elvis wants to see you tonight. " She said getting the cookies out of the oven. " Can I go momma? Please?" I asked. " Yes. You can but don't forget to do your homework. " She said smiling. After I finished my homework, I changed my clothes and asked my mom if I could wear her blue dress that she wore on her " work date" with my dad when they were in high school in New York with their glee club for sectionals. (AN: if you've seen season 2 of glee , the episode of when they went to New York, Finn planed a work date for him and Rachel and she wore the blue dress. That's the dress I'm wearing. Back to the story. 😃 ) I put my hair in a side bun , put on my white flats, and grabbed my white winter coat. "Remember to be back before midnight, you've got school tommorow. " My dad said to me before I got into Mr.DeNiro's car. "Ok dad, you know I will. " I said giving him a hug. When I came to the house, I was greeted by Elvis, wearing a white buttoned up shirt, black pants, and black dress shoes. We came into the kitchen to talk. I met Elvis's grandmother, Minnie Mae Presley, but to everyone else and Elvis she was Dodger. But to me she was mamaw. Elvis called her Dodger because she had dodged a ball he threw at her as a kid. "So how was your 1st day of school?" Elvis asked while he chowed down on a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich. "It was fun . I signed up for Drama club. " I said smiling. " That's great. So you like acting?" He asked me. " I've been in love with it ever since I saw my mom as Fanny Brice in Funny Girl. I've been in a few plays but I haven't gotten the lead. I've wanted to be an actress too. " I said. "Well if you love acting so much, drop out of school. " He said drinking his milk. " I can't. I mean I would love too, but I need to finish school so I can go to New York just like my mom did. I'm gonna go to college, then I'm gonna make it big on Broadway. " I said smiling at him. " I love how you dream big. " Elvis said smiling at me while holding my hand. "Thank you." I said. "What's that silver ring you have on your finger?" He asked me looking at the silver ring on my left hand. " It's my purity ring. My dad bought it for my 13th birthday and told me to wait and make a promise to God and to give this to my future husband when I got married . " I told him. " That's neat. I have one too. "He told me as he showed me his right hand . A few minutes passed and it was almost time for me to leave. "I've gotta go. " I said getting up and walking to the kitchen door. "Wait a minute, don't leave now. " Elvis said putting his hands on my arms to stop me from taking another step. "Nik-Nik, I wanna be alone with you. " Elvis said looking into my eyes. " I can't . I told you I have school tommorow and I promised my dad. " I said putting my hand on the door. " Don't say no. " Elvis said grabbing my hand and putting it close to his heart. "Will come upstairs to my room?" He asked with a smile on his face. I was shocked and nervous. I've NEVER been to guy's room before. But I know that nothing bad could happen. Right? "There's nothing to be scared of, sweetheart. I'll treat you like the sister I never had. I won't do anything to hurt you. I just wanna talk." He said looking at me with pleading eyes. " Ok. " I said. "My room's on the right . Now you go on up and I'll see you in a little bit. It'll look better . I don't want people to get suspicious. " He told me before I went upstairs. When I got to Elvis's room, I was nervous. So I decided to look around. I found a bible lying on his bedside table and picture of him and his mom, Gladys Presley. She was beautiful. I could tell where Elvis got his looks from. I saw his army uniform , a couple of clothes, and his army boots in his closet. On the other side of the room, I saw a record player and a few records sitting on small table. I saw some fan mail on his dresser from girls back in the states. A few of them were from some girl named Anita. I hope he doesn't have a girl back home. I said to my self in my head. "Nikki. " I heard Elvis's voice . He came in, shut the door, and let Buddy Holly's voice fill the room singing "True Love Ways" on the record player which was turned down low but we could still hear it. He sat on the bed and asked me to sit by him. "I really like you Nikki." He said smiling at me. I blushed. "Your so adorable. It's nice to have someone to talk to with being away from home and all. I missed that a lot. I get a little lonely sometimes with my momma gone and not being able to see my family. " He said to me. "I know what you mean. I miss my grandparents, my aunts , my uncles , and my cousins. I feel lonely sometimes too. " I said smiling. "So how long do you have before you go back home?" I asked. "Six months. I leave on February 14th" ( I just wanted to make the day that he leaves be in February and make it one of the saddest days of the year for me.)He said still holding my hand. "Oh. " I said looking down at the green carpet. " But we won't stop seeing each other. I feel like we have a connection. We're close. " He said lifting up my chin. " I sure wish momma was here to see you. She would've liked you as much I do. "He said smiling. " I wish could've met her too. " I said. He told me more about his momma. How she would've gotten up out of bed and screamed his name if something bad happened. "I feel safe with you Nik-Nik. I feel like I can tell you anything. " He said smiling at me. After we talked for little bit, he leaned in a kissed me. Not on the cheek, on the lips. My 1st kiss. "My sweet ,sweet Nikki. So young and beautiful." He said kissing me. After we kissed, we went back downstairs where Mr.DeNiro was waiting for me. When I got home , my dad was mad. "I can't believe that you were 20 minutes late. " My dad said to me. " I'm sorry. I must've forgotten the time." I said after I walked out of the bathroom with my purple nightgown on. "What were you two doing the whole time?" My mom asked me. "Just..... talking." I said smiling at them while I was picking out my school clothes. "Well, if you want to keep seeing Elvis, he has to come over here and meet the family. " My dad said with a serious look on his face. Oh no. This can't be good. I said in my head.
