Hello Mary Lou! [Ricky Nelson]

Chapter Three

So, far I had done well on the tv set stage for two weeks now. We were learning our lines, working together and having fun. I loved getting to pick out my wardrobe for my character. Fancy designer labels from other countries!

One dress I got to try on was all the way from Paris! I hoped one day I would get to travel more and see the world. I loved to spend each day with Ricky most of all from this. David was very sweet to!

On the set they often had lunch ready for us to eat. And the food was fantastic. My family also came to see the live taping of the show. My dad wasn't really into it. But he was proud of me.

My mom was my biggest fan. Though my sister was giving her a run for her money. I admit learning all my lines was a little hard. But Ricky helped work with me a lot. And I so appreciated that. I wanted to do something extra special for him to for it.

I just wasn't sure what that is yet!

My mom was getting the really good china out for dinner and had the family room table set up. Fresh flowers from the garden on the table to. Maybe dad was having a coworker over for dinner tonight.

"Ah mom who is joining us for dinner tonight?" I question her. "Is dad having company?"

"No"
"Are you?"
"No!"
"Who?"

"You are dear!" she answers me.
I blink a moment, my heart skips a beat. "Who is coming over here? Why for me? I haven't invented anyone over!" I declare.

"I invited Ricky. We got to talking at the set the other day. I think he's smitten with you he said he loved spending time with you! What better way for him to get to know his pretty costar then here in her own home!" mom announced.

I groan. "Mom! No!" I sigh.

She looked utterly confused. "Why don't you want to know him better, should I cancel?" she worries.

"No! It's fine! Please next time ask first! No showing any baby pictures mom!" I warn her sternly as the doorbell rings.

He was here!!

I feel my palms sweat. I hear my dad greeting Ricky at the door! Ricky Nelson was in my house!! I take a deep breath to regain my confidence. Then go to greet my friend at the door.

"Hi, Mary Lou!" Ricky greets me warmly. We hug. "I am so glad your mom invited me to have dinner with you all!"
