I slept four hours straight,I woke up to my little sister taking a nap beside me on top of the covers cuddling her stuffed rabbit teddy that she has kept from since she was born,It was a pale pink with one ear missing. I got out of bed trying not to disturb her from her nap, I looked at my watch it was 5:30,I opened my heavy creaking door.I walked down the steps and turned into the kitchen to hear my father and mother laughing with a few familiar voices,I poured myself some home made lemonade as the cold bitter lemonade touched my mouth “Ahh here’s the sleeping beauty” i turned around and it was Elvis! How did he find out where i lived?Why did my parents let him in they wouldn’t even let me listen to his music? they don’t even know i was working with him. I placed my glass down onto the tiled counter “Ah here’s Americas rock n rollers king and by night a stalker” I said as i was shaking my head,”Want a drink? water? pepsi cola? orange juice? apple juice?” i offered him “no thanks Dorothy your mother has already poured me a glass of that fine lemonade” I walked into the living room to find Elvis’s parents with my parents sitting on the sofas,What the heck was going on. His mother stood up “Gosh Elvis she really is beautiful you’re right” as she pulled my closer for a hug and a kiss on the cheek “I’m Gladys,Elvis’s mother and this is Vernon his father so lovely to meet you,we’ve heard so much about you” she said with a huge grin on her face as she was pulling away from me, “Hello Gladys,Hello Vernon such a pleasure to meet you both at this unexpected time” My father and Vernon were walking about cars and my mother and Gladys were talking about gardening. “Elvis can i talk to you for a second in the hallway please” i said as i nudged him “sure thing darl” he said as he stood up from the sofa,I followed him and we stood by my front door.  “What are you doing here with your parents? i thought you was only going to call me?” “I thought it was important that you get to meet my family just like how i was going to meet yours” as he stroked my face.

My sister came running down the stairs and ran towards me, I picked her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist,”Who’s this pretty lady Dorothy? I think you’ve got some competition i might have to talk this little pretty lady out instead” Elvis said as he kissed her forehead,She buried her head in between my neck and shoulder her face went bright red like a strawberry. I placed her down onto the floor and she ran into the living room and sat on my fathers lap still clinging onto that stuffed rabbit. “Looks like she doesn’t like you Elvis” I chuckled “I’m so heart broken i’m not sure what i’m gonna do, the love of my life doesn’t even want me!” he said as he was laughing, I walked towards the door frame of the living room “Mother,Father is it ok if i show Elvis around?” “Sure thing sweetie,just be down by 7 for dinner,Gladys Vernon would you like to stay for dinner? we’d love to have you around for longer!” They both accepted  the offer to stay for dinner, I ran up the stairs Elvis was chasing me.

We entered my bedroom and Elvis laid on my bed and i sat on the floor rummaging through my box of vinyls,I passed one to Elvis to look through too, He pulled out my favourite The Chordettes record,I put it on the player and started to sing along, he jumped off my bed and placed his hands on my waist and we started to dance, He started to sing along to the track “Cause I was born to be with you all life through yes I was born to be with you” he placed his chin on the top of my head,This moment is so perfect i didn’t want it to end,We danced through out the vinyl not even saying a single word,As the vinyl came to an end Elvis placed his thumb under my chin and his index finger under my bottom lip and tilted my head up and our lips locked his pale pink soft lips were so smooth just like silk,I can feel myself falling for him more and more as the minutes go bye,Our lips unlocked from each other, We both looked at each other our faces were bright red “I guess we better go down stairs or they’ll start wondering what we’ve been up too! but i’ll meet you downstairs Elvis” he left my room i could hear his heavy footsteps making his way down the wooden flooring. I put on a blouse and a pencil skirt with some tights and some slip on shoes and put on minimal make up and brushed up into a pony tail. Everybody was waiting at the table holding hands ready to say a grace, “Vernon will you please say the grace” my mother asked him “no problem dear” we all bowed our heads and closed our eyes while Vernon said the grace. As we lifted our heads back up our maids were pouring drinks into our empty glasses and placing our food in front of us,We had steak,mash potatoes and vegetables.

The room was filled with bright smiles and no one was short of a conversation,It felt like our families have known each other for years that have just reconnected with each other after loosing contact with each other.”Hey Dorothy do you wanna go out? just the two of us? i’ve got a perfect place where i want to show you” I agreed  to his offer to take me out as he has met my family, “Sir,Is it ok to take Dorothy out for a little bit we wont be too late,I’ll bring her back by 11 and then she’s all yours again” No one ever calls my father Sir but you could tell Elvis was trying to make an effort with my family,I hope he doesn’t do this to every girl he meets..”Sure thing Elvis,Bring her back in one piece” my Father said. “Mama,Dad i’ll send a car to come and pick you up” “Ok Elvis Drive safe and take good care of her” Gladys said in her sweet soft voice. I hugged Vernon and Gladys a goodbye and Elvis Hugged and Shook hands with my father and mother. We got into Elvis’s black car with cream coloured leather seats.We pulled out of my drive way, I turned the radio up and sure enough Elvis was on the radio That’s alright mama,I turned my head staring at him singing along to his own song, My heart was filled with joy i was so proud of him. I placed my hand on his thigh and squeezed it “Elvis i’m so proud of you,We’ve only known each other for two days but i really cannot express how proud i am of you,You’re showing kids who live in social housing that they can fore-fill their dreams and never give up” he left go of the wheel with one arm and pulled me closer and then put it over my shoulder. He was tapping his fingers to the beat of the songs on the radio and humming along.

We have been driving for 20 minutes now in that time we had talked about school,jobs,friends and the kind of music we love,I didn’t think Elvis would be so down to earth.I had only left school a few months before starting my inter-ship and i can remember walking down the hall and seeing girls with photos of Elvis in their lockers.We pull up to a park with a lake what is in the distance,It’s pitch back with no road lights near any paths,I slid across the seats and grabbed the random men cardigan i saw on the floor.I walked to the side of the car where Elvis was starting and putting his coat.Elvis took my hand and lead the way,We walked for 5 minutes on a dirt track to a pretty spot in the park which is just by the rent a rowing wooden boat hut.I placed the cardigan onto the grace from getting me skirt wet from the snow that had melted throughout the day,He took his coat off and wrapped it around me and then cuddled me,”This is the first date in a while i have been on with an ordinary girl,Colonel keeps pushing me to try and date these actors in Hollywood and musicians but that’s not right on me nor the lady,He wants me to use these girls so i could get more press attention” “gosh it must be so hard being most teenage girl dream man” he really didn’t impressed with what i just said “I’m sorry i’m just trying to lighten up the mood,this might be the reason i don’t asked out by men” i laughed as i pulled Elvis so he was laying down,We was staring at the stars in the crystal clear night sky. I put my head on his chest and he had his arm wrapped around me i could hear his heart beating,it was beautiful.Elvis hasn’t spoke for 5 minutes and sure enough he has fell asleep..I carefully got up and went to find a plastic cup or anytime of cup on the floor, I found a red cup by the lake and i needled down and scooped some of the dirty water from the lake and quietly creeped up to Elvis and watched him sleep waiting for the perfect timing,I poured the the cold dirty water onto Elvis “You son of a bitch! Imma get you little lady” Elvis shot up and started chasing me around the park,”Oh hell no you’re not going to get me!” Elvis dropped his car keys while running around and i saw the reflection of the keys from the moonlight so i quickly ran over to where the keys were and then ran for my life to the car.

I unlocked the car and jumped into the drivers seat and quickly locked the door,Elvis was running in the complete opposite direction to where the car was,I put myself on the floor so he wouldn’t see me. 5 minutes later i hear “BABY WHERE ARE YA! IM GETTING WORRIED!” I could hear him right outside the car i covered my mouth so he couldn’t hear me breathe..I crawled up onto the seats and Elvis had his back to the window so he didn’t see me. I unrolled the window “What took you so long darling? It’s been 5 minutes you took your time!” I said in a sassy tone. Elvis quickly reached his arm into the gap between the window and door frame to unlock the car. He jumped into the passenger side and pulled me towards him and put me on his lap as i was facing him, i wrapped my legs around him and once again our lips were locked together he slipped his wet tongue into my mouth,It was so passionate this kiss,I slid my hands up his shirt.I was stroking his cold hairy chest while he had his hands on the side of my head,He pulled his face away from me “baby don’t tease me like that you’re killing me” he said in between locking and unlocking our lips together.
