Poor Little Fool! [Ricky Nelson]

Chapter 9

April 1958

I was laying on the couch snuggled in Ricky's embrace. Mary Ellen had called to tell me she was spending the night at Corey's parents house for the night.

So, Ricky and I had the whole place to ourselves. I wanted to ask him to spend the night with me. Was that to soon? I was so happy to be with him. It was already so late in the night. We were talking away. We ate some dessert. I had missed out. So, we had ice cream.

Then we were listing to my records. Laying on the couch. His strong arms were in circled around me. I had my head on his chest.

I loved this feeling. Being happy. Being this close to him. Ricky was the only man in the world for me. Who knew what the future held for us both? I only hoped we would end up being together.

"I have something I want to tell you Willow" Ricky announces to me.

I glance up at him. "Go right ahead you can tell me anything"

"I tried to tell you before we made love. But it was not coming out right. And you assumed I had been with your sister. Truth time, okay I can tell you this...." he mutters.

"Ricky tell me" I say softly.

He winces. "You were my first Willow. I was a virgin. That was why I thought well assumed you were to"

I gasp. "Oh, Ricky are you for real? How can you be one? I mean look at you" I state. "you are so gorgeous" I remind him as I touch his cheek with my hand.

He chuckles. "Your sister and I had plans to make love after prom. And then I found she had been cheating on me later. That was why she always put me off."

"Ricky you are so sweet so sexy how can a woman not want you?" I ask him.

"They did. They tried. But I had been so shy. Ashamed to be a virgin. I was a big rocker and I had not been sure of myself. But you made me want you so badly that night. I could not wait. I could not help myself. And I knew you were feeling the same about me. I was right. I was glad I did" he explains to me.
