Hello Mary Lou! [Ricky Nelson]

Chapter Nine

In four days we were going back to taping the show. Ricky was feeling so much better after having surgery. He had been busy at the music studio to test out his voice. And see if any changes had damaged it.

Thankfully, no damage had been done to his pipes yet. Before the show taping began Ricky wanted to take me out on a date. I was super excited to go out on our first official date.

I was rummaging through my dresses to pick out the perfect outfit. The date we had at the bowling alley did not count as a date.

Seeing we went with other people. And we were not seeing one another. This was going to be a real date. I was playing his song "Mary Lou" on my record player he created for me.

He had even signed it for me. Before it had been out in the music stores. My little sister was watching me in the doorway of my room. I was going to see if mom would let me get my own apartment soon.

With my own money. After all I was a woman now. I could move out if I wanted to. If my father approved of it though.

And Ricky to...

♡♪♬♪♡

"What are you doing?" Paula asks me curiously. There was a bit of a mess here in my room.

"Going through my dresses" I sigh. "Go away"

"Why?"

"Ricky and I are having a date soon and I want it to be perfect and I can't decide on anything to wear" I mutter to her. Wishing she would listen for once and go away. Again I needed my own place with my own space.

Personal space that is....

"You should wear the lavender dress mom got you last week. It makes your eyes pop. Lavender looks great on you" says my sister as she digs through my dresses. She shows me what dress she is talking about and I hold it up to my chest and look at my face in the mirror. She was right it did make my eye color pop out better.

"Not bad" I agree. I smile.

The doorbell rings suddenly. We were not expecting anyone today.

"Can you get that?" I ask her. She nods as she goes to answer the front door. She rushes down the stairs.

"I do have new shoes that would go well with this" I mutter as I glance around for my new white shoes I bought.

"Mary Lou!"

That deep voice. I gasp as I look to see Ricky standing there at my doorway now.

"Ricky! You can fully talk to" I gush joyfully. I rush to his arms. He holds me close.

"I can do more than talk now" he whispers near my earlobe.

I am blushing. He pulls me back and then comes in my messy room. He shuts the door so my sister could not follow us in there. He kisses me. I missed this. I melted in his arms as he lips mesh with mine.

♡♪♬♪♡

"Ricky" I softly say. "What a nice surprise"

"I had to come here in person" he adds. "Cause my voice is fully recovered now. I had to say this at last. I love you" he tells me in the most serious tone.

"I love you to Rick" I return the love. Then he kisses me.

"How I missed that" he tells me softly. We gaze into each other's eyes. "What happened in this room?" He teases me about the mess here.

"I was looking for the right dress to wear on our date" I sigh.

"Sweetheart, I can't wait for our first date" he adds. "I have a special night planned out"

"I cannot wait" I tell him.

"Does Ricky want to stay for dinner?" My mom calls from the stair way.

"Do you?" I ask him.

"Yes, I would love to:" he tells my mother.

"Great it is meatloaf night" my mom answers before heading back downstairs.

I giggle. "I was not expecting you today" I say.

"I could not wait to say I love you in person. I could on the phone but we have had to wait. And I wanted to kiss you Mary Lou" he shyly tells me. I blush with pleasure at hearing his words.

"I am glad you came over" I tell him.

"You are playing the song. You like my song?" He asks me curiously.

"I love it and I love you for making it for me" I promise him. "It will be bigger than Peggy Sue" I joke with him. He is blushing now.

"Though I really loved I will follow you the best" I softly say, to him.

"You did? I was trying to win your love with that" he admits to me.

"You already had it. I was scared to lose you Ricky. You are so important to me" I tell him. "I do not know what I would do if I lost you"

"You never have to worry about that sweetheart" he promises me.

"We need to talk. I am going to talk to my father about this to. So have a seat" I say as we sit on my bed.

"What is on your mind?"

"I am thinking it is high time I move out on my own. Rent a place and we can have more privacy" I tell him. "I have enough money for an apartment" I tell him.

He nods as he looks thoughtful. "Maybe but maybe wait"

"Why?"

"Well, maybe someday we can get a house of our own" he shyly tells me.

I had not thought that far ahead of our future.

"Ricky" I say with happiness.

He kisses me. "We have a bright future full of possibilities as long as we are together to see it though" he adds.

We lace our fingers together as we hold hands.

"I would love that."

"Can you wait a bit longer? On me? On us?"

"I can" I agree. "On us"

He kisses me and I melt into his arms. "To us"

"To us" then we kiss on that deal.
