"Two Day Leave"
Part One
2330
Georgie undid another button on Elvis' shirt and slid her hand inside. She fingered the dusky hairs on his chest and smiled. She suddenly felt warm and content being this close to him. It was an oasis of home for both of them. She felt like she was wrapped in a cocoon and was safe and well. Elvis smiled into her hair. "Feel better?" He asked softly. His voice deep and she could feel the sound resonating against the side of her face. "Mmmmm," She murmured, "Much." She cuddled closer and he tightened his hold on her. Then he rubbed his cheek against her soft hair and then kissed her head. It was a slow kiss. It was heartfelt and nothing in the world felt better to him.
"Two days then?" She asked sleepily. "Yeah." "Well at least they're lettin ya stay." Elvis kissed her again. "For which I am grateful. Truly…" His voice started to trail off. Georgie realized he had to be exhausted. Knowing Elvis he probably had not slept much if at all revving up for his mission, coupled with his worry for her. Georgie chuckled softly imagining him gaining access to her through a hospital window had Rose not allowed him to spend the night. Georgie continued to amuse herself remembering her mum telling her…..
"We know when he's in that room with ya!" "Mum! "You heard me! Why doesn't
he just come through the front door like a normal person ?" Georgie tried not to
laugh but explaining Elvis was quite a task at times. "Mum. It's fine. It's a game we
play. He's just Elvis….."
Later that afternoon as they walked around the lake together Georgie told him, "They heard
us last night." "Who 'eard us and wha are ya talkin about?" "My parents! They heard
us last night!" Elvis stopped walking and looked at her. "'Eard us?" "Affirmative!"
"Heard us!" She said in a forced whisper. Elvis' head bobbled. "I told ya! Ya were too loud!"
"Me?! Fuck Elvis! It was you!" "Oh no! You even said you were dyin for us to be
together!" That gave Georgie pause. "I admit that. But you! You just got back from a
long mission yeah?" Elvis stood there and placed his hands on either side of her shoulders
and laughed. "It was good wasn't it?" His chocolate eyes locked on hers and she could not
for the life of her turn away. Georgie was trying desperately to be serious about this but was
failing miserably. Her face burst into a beautiful smile. "It was. Yeah!" "I could always
whisk ya down to London. No worries 'ere. Loud as you like!" and he winked at her.
Georgie huffed and pursed her lips at him. "Until the neighbors bang on the wall, yeah?"
Elvis laughed. "That just 'appened once." "And that was you!" she said. "Was it?"
She squinted at him. "Don't try and blame me!" She said pressing her lips together to keep
from laughing. "Oi! It had everythin to do with ya or should I say, what ya we re doin!"
"Shut up!" she said punching him in the shoulder. Elvis roared. "Paid ya back though
didn't I?" he smirked. She flushed. Elvis Harte! So help me… one more word and
you'll be swimmin in that lake!"
Georgie nestled her head against Elvis. She could hear his heart beating and the joy of her memory lulling her deeper asleep. Elvis opened his eyes briefly then closed them as he felt her relaxing. "I love you." He whispered and they were both soon fast asleep.
