Rochelle POV

I sat on the counter for what seemed like hours, I couldnt bother to look up to see who came in the kitchen.

"Hey... Are you alright?" I heard Billy ask, he peeked his head under mine.

"Oh ya..... I just..." I broke down crying, i couldnt even finish a sentence. Billy helped me off the counter covering me up with his jacket.

"Hey, lets get you outta here." He whispered, I nodded slightly as we walked out of Graceland.

I told him every thing that night, what happen between me and Elvis. He's missed out on a couple of months. We sat across eachother at our favorite restaurant nifties.

"I dont know what happen to us, everything changed since his mama died. " Tears streamed my face, I haven't talk about this with anyone.

"He's changin' Elle.... But what he did to you today ain't right." He whispered, shakin his head.

"I dunno what to do..... " I fiddle with the napkin' that laid on my lap.

"Do you still love him?" He questioned takin' a bite of his burger.

I nodded "Of course.... But not how it was when we first got together." I sighed. Billy reached over grabbing my hand.

"I still love you Elle... Elvis he told me not to go for you. So I backed off. But I cant hold it back much longer." He finished off, I shook my head.

"Billy I can't..... I have a life with Elvis. Even thought its not perfect, I-I cant. "I sighed. He noded back.

Elvis POV

Elle came into our bedroom, looking exhausted, She took her heals off and threw them into the closet.

"What crawled up you today?" I asked with a smirk.

"Do you still love me?" She asked, The question caught me off guard.

"Elle, of course I do. I always will." I place my arms around her.

"Why haven't you married me yet? I mean even when I was Pregnant we didnt talk about marriage." She cried, she pushed my arms away.

"Elle, why this? Why now?" I asked.

"Elvis, time is ticking. Im 24 your 26. I love you. And I know you love me. Why cant we just get married and start a family. That's all I want." She cried, looking into my eyes.

"Everything is fine how it is right now Elle. I like it like this." I replied, she whiped her tears. Staring blankly off i to space.

She cupped my cheeks kissing me slowly "Well I dont. I love you Elvis but I can't wait around."

"Don't do this... Not now. "I whispered, holding her hand on my cheek.

"Im sorry.... But I want to start my life not wait on you to start yours." She whispered.
