"Faye you can do it!" laughter rings loudly.

"Faye hold on tight!"

I groan as I feel the horse jogging under me. I hold on for dear life. Why had I let him talk me into going horseback riding? I never had been riding in my life.

But Elvis thought it would make a fun date. Now I was not so sure about all that. I was about done! It was not the horses fault! I was no good at this!"

"Elvis!" I cry out in alarm as I feel myself about to fall sideways off the horse.

"Easy does it!" Elvis chuckles as he manages to snag me from my horse onto his safely. I giggle.

"I am no good at this. I should quit while I am ahead" I laugh.

We were face to face on his horse Bear. I snuggle close to him. I hold him while we ride. This was not so bad. We ride over to the barn. The horse I was riding follows us.

When we stop Elvis helps me get down off his horse.

"You did not do that badly! Not for your first time!" he says.

"I doubt it! You are just being nice" I laugh.

"No you will catch on!" he says to me cheerfully as he climbs down off Bear.

"Never" I laugh.

"Future girl, I am so glad you are here with me! I am having fun with you. What else do you want to do that you never got to do before?" he asks me as he comes over to me. He takes me in his embrace.

"Kiss Elvis" I joke. He grins. He leans down and kisses me.

"Now you can cross that off your list" he jokes.

"Never" I giggle. "I want to do that again"

"You got it" he vows as he kisses me again.

"E, don't you have more movies you will be doing soon?" I wonder as I think to my brain what movie was going to be coming soon. What new costar I would have to deal with.

"Not that I know of. Unless you know more than you are letting on. Besides. I told you. I plan on doing more work with my gospel music now that Tom is gone. No more movies" he states.

"Some were so good. All but Stay Away Joe" I giggle as I frown.

"Stay away what?" he laughs as he makes a face.

"You had some stinker movies" I state.

"Me?"

"You"

"Naw"

"Yes" I laugh as I reach up and ruffle his hair playfully.

"Hey now future girl not the hair" he warns me.

"I have always wanted to do that" I tell him.

"I bet" he jokes.

"I am famished" I tell him.

"Mary should have something ready for lunch!" he tells me as he drags me by the hand. We head back inside of Graceland.

Sure enough Mary had a full set of goodies out for everyone to dig into. Barbeque, corn on the cob! It all looked so good! We all dug in. We chatted. Joked around. Had a great time at lunch. I liked some of Elvis famous Memphis Mafia.

It was still so weird to see them in real life. That was something that I had to get used to. But this was my life now! I always wished for it. Now here I was.

"Enjoying lunch?" Elvis wonders as I finish off my meal before him.

"Oh yes very much so" I say.

"Good" he says with a smile.

"E, what are the plans for the week?" I wonder.

"I want to stay home for a bit. Not sure what will come up" he sighs. "I am sure something will come up"

"You are busy. Always have been" I giggle.

"I want some time alone with you" he says.

"Me to" I agree.

"How about a movie date?" he asks me. "I can call ahead. Close out the place. We can have ourselves a nice little date night"

"I like that idea" I agree.

"Good. You have a date then" he says with a grin.

"I will hold you to it" I tease.

"How can I top off the dance" he sighs.

"E...you do not have to top off anything. I love spending time with you. Doing whatever. I am just glad I can be with you" I promise him as I place my hand on his. "Like this...being here at Graceland. Even though I suck at horseback riding...I had so much fun"

"Really?"

"Truly" I say with a smile.

"Good"

"I want you to be happy here. I never want you to feel you are stuck with me" he worries.

"E, I know Cilla told you she felt stuck here. But I am not. I am glad to be here" I promise him.

He grins at me.

We had a lot of fun times waiting for us. I hope he understood that. I always wanted to be with him. I would never feel stuck. At least I did not think I would ever get to that point. Back home I felt stuck. Here I felt so alive. So happy. So free.

"Faye?"

"Yes E?"

"I love you. I am so glad you are here" he says with a smile.

"I love you to. I am thankful for you" I vow as I lean close to him and steal a kiss from his lips.
