16. The Threats Begin

                                    

                                          
Lisa's Point Of View: 
"Baby..." His voice was dripped in concerned as we laid in bed. After my breakdown as I like to call it. He brought me to bed and just held me all night. 
That was a few months ago, tonight he made me a amazing dinner and took me to my favorite show. He sung me the song he created for me and we spent the rest of the night making love as a redo for our missed anniversary night. 
"Yes?" I say against his chest letting the sound of his heart and breathing become buried to my memory. 
"I abducted Peter Polanski, the day I told you I had a business trip..." He admits to me although I knew he was going to do something reckless. 
"I know Priscilla told me, but I knew you was going to do something reckless the minute I told you...Did you kill him?" I asked him wondering. 
"No, not yet he is just on ice right now...Lisa the day we had a wedding redo I meant them vows to you. I will always protect you no matter if I have to go back in your past and make all those fears disappear and for all future fears they will cower if they ever hurt you or the kids...." He says kissing my forehead. 
"Thank you my own personal Batman...Prince I want to figure out my stepfather's last riddle and look into his affairs. He told me when I was a little girl he was going to leave my mother and I in the best care. But after my whole ordeal my mother just took it over and I ran away." I say to him. 
"Than let's figure it out together and get you whatever you need..." He says kissing me. 
"Everyday with you seems like a dream..." I blurt out as I have never had someone love me like this. At times it could be overwhelming as I always fear something is going to take my blessing away. 
"No everyday with you seems like a dream. I want to be here forever to experience growing old with you." He says and I smile kissing his lips. 
The next day Prince headed into work and I typed out the riddle as I remembered. I begin thinking of what it could mean. The only hint he gave me was that it was the key to my future. I decided to call someone I haven't talk to since I was a little girl. 
"Hello?" Her voice was still sweet although you heard the aging in it. 
"Janice...it's me Lisa..." I say to my stepfather Roland's best friend who my mother hated. 
"Oh my stars get out of here? Lisa Presley no you got to be jostling my leg. Little Lisa I haven't heard from you in seventeen years." She says excitedly. 
"I know Janice I am sorry but after Poppa Roland died I didn't know how to handle that...." I confess to her. 
"I understand, so I hear you moved all the way out there to California. We heard about your mother and your ex-husband we are really sorry. Not to be crass but I never liked your mama..." Janice says her thick southern accent felt like home to me. 
"Its okay Janice she is my mother and even I don't like her. They belonged together I am not even mad about that. I have a new husband and two little ones. A boy and a girl who keeps me busy these days." I say and she claps excitedly. 
"Good for you Little Lisa, yes I am proud of y'all. Oh my you got two little chickadees that's amazing one day I hope I can meet them." She says and I almost forgot how close Janice and I was.
"You can if you ever fly out here to see them let me know I can arrange it. Right now I won't be coming back to Tennessee until I sort out some business. How is Jack and Horace?" I asked her about her son and husband. 
"Oh Little Lisa Horace up and died on us a little over a year ago. Jack is actually married to his new beau Gregor. I believe is the boy's name. He doesn't come out here to see me either. I visit him though in that fancy New York City. The locals out here don't accept my son for who he is like Horace and I do. But Tennessee is my home so I won't be living anywhere but here. I will definitely come and visit you. You was always like the daughter I never got to have." Janice says and I smile.
