✧・゚: *✧・゚:* *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
𝐈𝐓 was spring break in the valley, which also meant spring break for west valley and students were out for the week. Every year, the Romeros would vacation during the week of spring break, and go somewhere like, Bora Bora, the Cayman Islands, or Maui, but this year, Jenna and Jimmy were going to spend their spring break in Graceland. The couple would be staying at the Hilton on beale street for the week.
Norma, who was visiting the couple, gave Jenna a folded dress and asked, "Are you excited about going to Graceland with Jimmy?"
Jenna smiled and nodded as she placed a folded dress in the suit case. "Yes. I've always wanted to see it, so going with Jimmy will be a fun experience."
"Well, sweetheart, all I ask is that you two be safe, and use your heads. Especially at night. You two are in a city in which you are not familiar, anything could happen to you both." Norma said as Jenna packed her makeup bag
"We'll be careful, mom." Jenna reassured. "Remember daddy, Dyl, and Drew taught me how to defend myself? Besided, Jimmy has taught me a little bit of karate as well. I don't want you to worry." she added as she closed the suitcase
"I know sweetheart." Norma smiled. "I'm your mother, I'm going to worry."
"If you didn't worry, I would think there's something wrong." Jenna teased.
"Don't get smart now." Norma teased and Jenna laughed. "Just bring me back a snow globe for the mantle?"
"Of course." Jenna smiled as she embraced her mother.
"You just have a great time, and make lots of memories, okay?" Norma smiled. "Okay, mama." Jenna smiled

Memphis, Tennessee
Jenna and Jimmy arrived in Memphis, hand in hand. As soon as they left the airport, they got their rental car and drove to the hotel. Upon walking into their room, the couple had a view of Beale Street.
"This is beautiful." Jenna smiled as the couple walked into their hotel room and the bright lights from beale street shone through the windows as it was now dark outside. After placing her bag on by the closet, she laid down on the bed. "I can't believe I'm here."
"Well, it's not as beautiful as you, and believe it that you're here, amour." Jimmy said as he laid on the bed beside her.
"Thank you honey." Jenna smiled as she turned on her side to face him. "Are you hungry? We probably shouldn't go out and get food though since it's so late though. We could order room service."
"Starving." Jimmy said
After ordering room service and eating, and a steamy shower session with Jimmy, the couple laid in bed, completely nude and undone, trying to catch their breath as the only thing heard was the soft sound of the radio playing.
"This is always my favorite part." Jimmu said as he held Jenna close to him
"Mine too." Jenna smiled as she gently caressed his abdominal muscles.
"If there's one thing I love, it's hearing you moan my name like crazy." Jimmu said as he held his girlfriend close.
"You're gross." Jenna said. "You better hope and pray no one calls down to the front desk to complain, anyway, I love you. Get some rest sweetheart. I'll see you in the morning." she smiled as she kissed her boyfriend
"Good night, babe. I love you too." Jimmy smiled as he kissed her lips and held her naked body close to his.
Later that night, Jimmy softly groaned as he lightly stirred in the bed. For the past few nights, he's had the same reoccurring nightmare. The night Kreese choked Johnny and nearly tried killing them all. He tossed and turned trying not to wake Jenna up, as she was sound asleep. Jimmy woke up and sat up as he took a deep breath, trying to slow his heart rate. He ran a hand over his face and looked around the dark room, then felt Jenna stir and slowly wake up, lovingly placing a hand on his arm and stroking it.
"Sweetheart, are you alright?" Jenna whispered as she rubbed his arm
"Yeah." Jimmy sighed as he laid back down beside Jenna as she played with his fingers. "I'll be fine. Go back to sleep, amour."
Jenna smiled softly as she softly placed a kiss on his cheek. She laid there facing him. as she closed her eyes, he laid there with his eyes wide open.
"Jenna?" Jimmy whispered as he wrapped his arm around her body, and laid his head next to her's on her pillow. "Mhm?" Jenna said sleepily
"For the past few nights, I've been having reoccurring nightmares. They're been haunting me. I just didn't know how to tell you." Jimmy said
"What about, sweetheart?" Jenna asked as she stroked his cheek
"The night of the tournament. sometimes our brutal karate practice." Jimmy said. "He would scream in our face, and there was one time he hit Johnny across the face. The rest of us would get it too, but it was mainly Johnny."
Jenna placed her hand on her boyfriend's cheek and stroked his cheekbone with her thumb. "I'm so sorry honey."
"I feel so bad for the things I did to Daniel, even though it was mainly Johnny and Dutch. I didn't want to run him off the hill that night, I really wanted to make amends with him, but I was so conflicted, and I was worried it would blow up in my face with Kreese. I felt trapped in that dojo for so long." Jimmy said
"Jimmy, I don't blame you, and I'm sure Daniel doesn't either. Healing takes time. There's no timeline for healing. If you have a rough day, and you need to cry or even scream... despite what you were taught, you're not weak for doing so. It's cathartic and cleansing. But know this, which I know you do, I'm here for you. I love you with all of my heart and soul." Jenna said. "Try and get some rest now, and remember, they're just dreams, it's not real. I promise."
"Thanks Jenna." Jimmy said as he kissed her forehead
Jenna smiled as she kissed his lips, "You're welcome honey. I love you."
"I love you too amour."

The bright Tennessee sun shone through the windows of the hotel room. Jimmy slowly opened his blue eyes and yawned. He looked at the time on the alarm clock on the nightstand and saw it was 8:30 am.
Turning to his side, he found Jenna sound asleep, and he held her body close to his, and he placed passionate kisses along her neck and shoulder. The beautiful brunette slowly opened her blue eyes and softly yawned and turned to find her boyfriend smiling at her.
"Good morning." Jenna smiled as she rested her forehead against his
"Good morning, beautiful." Jimmy smiled smiled as he laced his fingers with her's.
"How do you feel? Are you alright?" Jenna said as she looked into his beautiful blue eyes
"I'm fine, amour." Jimmy said. "To be honest, I haven't had a dream like that since the night of the tournament, so I don't know why I'm having them again." Jimmy said as he held her close to him.
"Honey, you guys went through a lot. Just seeing that asshole kreese choke Johnny, I can only imagine what happened to you all in karate class." Jenna said. "Just know, if you want my dad to lock his ass up, he will."
Jimmy laughed and kissed her lips. "I know he will. I love you."
"I love you more. Anyway, I'm gonna take a quick shower." Jenna smiled as she pecked his lips. "Wanna join me?"
"Quick shower, huh?" Jimmy smirked. "I can work with that."

After leaving the hotel, the couple had a nice breakfast at the diner on Beale Street, then drove to Graceland, where Jenna was hit with a wave of emotions. She mainly wanted to cry. She's loved Elvis Presley for so long, and now she's visiting the place he once called home with the love of her life.
Whrn the couple first walked in hand in-hand, they saw Elvis' living room, dining room, and stairways, and of course, his mother's bedroom.
The next thing the couple saw, was Elvis' kitchen, then his downstairs, which included the tv room and pool room. They also saw the jungle room, which had green shagged carpets, even on the ceiling, polynesian feel, and exotically carved wood
In the trophy building, it told the personal story of Elvis, his family, and the Graceland mansion. Jenna was in awe of Elvis and Priscilla's wedding attire, she had seen pictures, but seeing it in person, that's a different story.
Next they toured the Lisa Marie. As they walked through, Jimmy himself was even in awe of the gold plated seat-belts and 24-karat gold-flecked sinks.
After walking through the Lisa Marie, the couple made their way back to the mansion and stopped at the meditation garden, where Elvis was laid to rest, and the couple paid their respects.
"Jimmy, thank you so much for this." Jenna smiled as they walked out of the mansion
"You're welcome, amour." Jimmy said, as he took his hands in her own. "Before we leave, there's something I have to ask you."
"What is it?" Jenna smiled
Jimmy gently took her dainty hands in his, and nervously sighed. "Jenna, you know I love you right? I've always loved you."
"Well, of course I do. You know I love you too." Jenna smiled
"No, I was head over heels for you the day you poured your cherry coke down my shirt, and I'm head over heels for you now. How I loved you then, is nothing compared to how I love you now." Jimmy smiled
Jimmy got down on one knee, pulled the small black velvet box out of his hand, he opened it to reveal a gold engagement ring with a diamond stone. "Jenna Romero, I love you, more than life itself, and more than anyone. Will you marry me?"
"Yes." Jenna smiled.
Jimmy took the ring out of the box and kissed her ring finger before sliding the engagement ring on her finger. "I love you." Jimmy smiled. "I promise you, I'll never leave you. I'll walk through this world with you, through the ups and the downs."
"I know honey." Jenna smiled as she placed her hand on his cheek. "I love you too, and I will gladly walk through any world with you."
