Hello Mary Lou! [Ricky Nelson]

Chapter One

I had gotten the job! I squeal happily then hang up the phone. I was going to meet HIM! I was going to costar with HIM!

I was going to get to kiss HIM on the tv screen for the whole world to see!! I smile feeling faint from excitement rushing inside of me.

So I sit down at the kitchen table. My little sister Paula comes wandering in to get an apple from the fridge. She gives me an odd look. Then waves her hand in front of my face.

♡♪♬♪♡

"Boy you are goofy! What's gotten into you?" she asks me.

"Remember when I got to audition for tv? Well they just called back! I got it!! I got the part! I am going to be on tv with Ricky Nelson! I am going to play his girlfriend on tv! Out of all those other girls they picked me!" I stammer with pride.

My sister hugs me. She was eleven years old. I was nineteen going on twenty. "I am so happy for you! Your first big break!" she exclaimed joyfully.

I smile as we pull apart. I had to take a shower and fix my hair because tomorrow I went ok the set of "Ozzy & Harriet" I could hardly wait.

"Sis you know you can't date your costar! Bad press and then they could fire you. I know he's hot. But listen to me. Don't ever let that man know you have feelings for him!" warns my sister.

She was right. If we got together then broke up then I would lose my job, he would need a new girl! Ricky could never know I was interested in him. This sucked!

"You are right! How in the world will I do that? It's going to be hard to hide how I feel. I have never been a good liar!" I sigh.

"You can do it! If you really want to keep this job you better not let on you have an attraction to Ricky that's all! Pretend he is Scott Dunmore!" says Paula.

Scott was a geek at my school who I could not stand and he had a huge crush on me. He was crushing on me because I was nice to him, I was the only girl in school who was nice to him.

♡♪♬♪♡

"Ugh but Ricky is nothing like Scott. He's wonderful" I sigh.

"I know he is but you must pretend in order to stay working and be his friend right?" she asks me.

I knew she was right. I nod.

"I know but it doesn't it make it easy" I add.

The phone rings again. I reach over to answer it.

"Hello?"
"Hi is Mary Lou there?"
"This is she!"
"Hey it's Ricky! Ricky Nelson I got your number from our producer" he tells me. I am at a loss for words. I stumble nearly dropping the phone.

"Hi! Hello!" I say. My sister gives me an odd look.

"I figured we needed to get aquatinted with each other. We will be working close together these next few days" he remarks.
