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.
"Sweet Ricky" I say as I lean in and kiss him on the lips.
"How was I really? Tell me the truth please" he wants to know.
"You were fantastic. I meant it. Every word I said that night" I vow.
"Really?" he asks me.
I nod. "Really, you read what my body needed. You full filled my every need" I say. "you are the best I ever had"
He smiles looking pleased with my words.

I kiss him. "Stay the night" I beg him. "please!"
"Are you sure?" he asks me.
I smile. "Sure am"
"Good. I have your luggage from your parents in my car. I get mine and yours. And stay" he says.
I walk him to his car. Then he gets my stuff and his. We head inside for the night. He sets my luggage and his down on the floor. Then he pulls me in his arms. He looks like he has more to say.
"What?" I ask.
"I have something more to say. I will be going on tour soon" he tells me softly.
"Oh" I manage to say as my heart sinks a bit.
"I know. And we finally got together. Come with me on tour" he begs me.
"But my job. And Mary Ellen" I worry.
He holds me close. "I can take care of both of us" he says. "please come with me"
"But Ricky you will get tired of me" I laugh.
"No, I won't I get lonely on tour. I always tried to tell Avery that. She was to young to go then. I was on the road. And you were home. Remember you would talk to me for long hours at night when I was home sick? When Avery was gone out cheating on me?" he asks me.
I smile. "I do remember those days"
"I always sent you a postcard to" he says.
"I have them all" I admit.
"You do?" he asks me.
"I do" I giggle.
"We are both adults. And if you come home needing a job. Wanting to work still. I can help you get one" he offers. "please come with me"
I sigh. I wanted to say yes so badly. "Alright" I agree out loud.
"Really?" he gasps.
"Yes" I giggle.

He is holding me close. Kissing me.
Twirling me around in his arms.
"I love you so much" he says.
"I love you to" I vow.
His lips crash to mine. I melt into him.
"You make me so happy" he tells me.
"As do you for me" I add.
"Willow seeing as you are going on tour, I can tell you who I will be opening for" he says with a smirk.
"Who?" I ask him.
"Elvis. Elvis Presley" he tells me.
I gasp. "Ricky are you for real? We will be on tour with Elvis?" I ask him.
I am stunned.
"Yes, I know how much you love him. Well his music. You will get to know him and be on tour. You will get to meet him" he tells me.
I squeal as I hug him tighter. "Ricky you are the best!" I gasp.
He laughs as he holds me close. "Do I have something to worry about? Will you leave me for Elvis?" he teases me with a wink.
I shake my head. "No never!" I laugh.
I kiss him. "There is only one rocker I am crazy about. He is right here in my arms" I say softly.
His lips fall to mine. "My girl. No one will part us"
I loved hearing him call me his girl. It made me melt inside.
"Maybe we should leave our luggage packed" I joke.
He laughs. "That's my girl" he tells me.
He kisses me again. "Elvis will never take you from me. You are one girl he won't get in his bed" he vows.
"No never" I add. "I have eyes only for you. I love you"
"I love you" he says.
"My guy. It feels so good to say that. I longed for so many times for one chance with you. I never thought you would ever look my way" I admit. "I thought you saw me as a silly kid. And I could never win your heart" I tell him.
"Willow..." he says softly.
He touches my cheek with his hand. "You won my heart sweetheart"
"You always have had mine Ricky" I say softly.
"Are you ready for bed sweetheart?" he asks me.
I nod. "Come to bed" I say.
He holds me close. His lips meet mine. We had a perfect holiday. Well it was not so perfect, but it ended in the most perfect way. We were in love. And we were together. We had so much to look forward to. I could not wait to go on tour with Ricky.
