The Beatles: A Mini-series

Ringo (1964)

"C'mon, it's hot today, let me take you for ice cream," Ringo pleaded with you for the 100th time. The Beatles were visiting California, and you met Ringo at a club you got a fake I.D. For. Yes, you were 17, and Ringo was 24. But, you didn't really care about that, you wanted to go with him, you just had a lot to do.
"I dunno, Richie. I have to get home and work on my summer assignment.."
"There's always later. Besides, you have two weeks before school starts. Just go on a date with me."
You thought about it. "Alright..fine. But just for a little bit."
Ringo cheered and opened the passenger door for you. You climbed in and you two drove off to the ice cream shop.
At the ice cream shop, Ringo wore a wig he brought and a pair of reading glasses as to not be noticed. You giggled at his silly appearance; although it did work. Ringo ordered two scoops of chocolate ice cream, and you ordered a scoop of mint chocolate chip. You two went to the outside tables.
"How's your ice cream?" Richie asked you.
"It's great! Thank you Richie."
"Hey, no problem. I was honored to buy such a beautiful girl ice cream."
You giggled, and took a lick. Some of it got on your nose. Ringo quickly leaned over and licked it off. You giggled more and got red in the face.
"Mm, that is good. You weren't lyin'!" Ringo exclaimed.
You two finished your ice cream, and stayed and talked for about an hour. Then you checked your watch. It was 3:30. You had to go.
"Aw Richie, I'm sorry but I have to go. My parents wanted me back by four.."
"Oh..well that's okay I understand."
You guys got back in the car, and the realization that Ringo was going back to England in a couple of days was bringing you down. You stayed quiet the whole drive. Richie parked a block away from your house.
"Hey, what's wrong love?" He asked.
You sigh. "I just realized that I won't see you again.."
"Oh..right. Well, you never know. I mean, I planned on keeping in touch with you anyways. I really like you."
"I like you too. But, come on, I'm still in high school. You're a grown man touring the world. I may sound immature, but you don't have time for someone like me. Especially from across the world."
"Well, I'll tell you something, I think you'll understand," Richie started. That made you laugh. "Alright, gear, I got a laugh out of you. But seriously, anything could happen. I can't promise you anything, but I plan on continuing to see you. You're really special. I mean it. I wouldn't want to lose you."
Richie's kind words touched you. And then, Richie leaned over and kissed you for the first time. You two had a makeout session in the car, and then he took you home. You knew you'd get in trouble for being a few minutes late, but you didn't care. You just had the best summer of your life.

{A/N: Hey guys, I know this story wasn't that great, but I really wanted to write something, and I feel like Richie really would like to go on an ice cream date. Also, it's been hot where I live, so another inspiration. Thanks for reading!}
