Poor Little Fool! [Ricky Nelson]

Chapter 11

[Warning Sexual Conduct]

I had the best date with Ricky. It had been private romantic but a little short. Soon he was taking me back home. He had wanted to take me on a date before we went on the tour.

He said once he was working it would be a little harder on the road for us to have a proper date. I did not want to argue with the man. I did feel really bad that I did not have much time to see Mary Ellen before I left. And Corey to.

I hoped Mary Ellen would stay up late so we could chat before Ricky went home for the night. Ricky parks his car in front of our apartment building. He leans in kissing me on the lips.

He smiles at me. I smile back. I was nervous about meeting other famous people. With Ricky it was different because I had known him for such a long time. As the boy next door.

"Are you excited to head out on the road?" he asks me.

I nod. "I am. Very very excited" I add.

"We are stopping in Memphis at Graceland to pick up Elvis" he informs me. "then the tour will start there in Nashville"

"How exciting" I gush.

He nods. "I don't think we will see Graceland. We will wait while they load up on the tour bus with us", he tells me.

"Wow!" I say.

"One day maybe I will buy you a dream house like Graceland here in California" he says.

I smile. "Anything is possible" I agree. "Look can we head in? I want to see Mary Ellen some before she goes to bed. I will sure miss her"

"Alright" says Ricky.

He turns off his car. Then we head out to go in my place. I notice the lights were already out. Maybe she went to bed for the night. But it was not that late. Maybe she was over at Corey's still.

Who knew?!

I would stay up late and wait for her if she was at Corey's. I had to see her before I left. I wanted to make time for my friend.
