So i looked at the radio

We walked through Graceland and I was getting into it. Elvis was just a fun guy to me. Gratitude for things it seemed. We got in the car and I started mentioning movies and such. We turned off Elvis Presley Blvd onto Goodman Road and I asked her if she would like to goto a movie sometime soon. 1.2.3.4.5. "I cannot........" long pause "...........my friend is coming in town and im busy." My stomach flipped. "Oh really when?" I asked. "Two weeks from now."
Weird feeling, moment of panic, "You know they have an all Elvis channel of Sirus Radio. Here let me look for it. I like Sirius radio. Oh maybe its on channel 6," I looked straight at the radio and when it hit 6 i said, "nope, 60's channel, maybe it's on 7," I adjusted to 7," nope 70's channel" I went through all the decades, through pop, rock, hiphop, and thank God we finally arrived at her apartment.
"I had a great time," she said.
I mumbled, "ok"
"Would you like to come in, oh I know your late for play practice, nevermind." she said.
I thought, "bitch," and said, "see ya."
I drove away with that feeling in my stomach.
