EPISODE TWENTY NINE

Theme: I can’t do this anymore

IVY RIVERA’S APARTMENT

Ivy was busy cleaning the house when her son raced into the living room. “So mom I heard you talking to Aunt Emily earlier, when is she coming?” He questioned.

Ivy eyebrows snapped together. “Hey you boy! Were you eavesdropping on every calls I made today?!” She feigned a angry look.

“No mom..I was just passing by your room when I heard you talking on the phone.” Leroy countered.

“Oh was I speaking so loud?” Ivy asked retaining her normal facial expression.

“Yes mom.” Leroy answered.

Ivy chuckled. “My bad.”

“So when is aunt Emily coming around?” Leroy pestered his mom.

“Your aunt will be here tomorrow.” Ivy answered her son.

“Tomorrow? Woah I am so happy that I will finally get to meet aunt Emily!” Leroy exclaimed with excitement on his face.

“Are you that excited?”

“Yes..it has always been the two of us. So it is cool to have someone else join us..or maybe more people.” Leroy pursed his lips when he noticed his mom’s countenance changed.

Ivy knew her son missed having not just a father but also family.

“I am sorry mom..I didn’t mean to say it that way.” Leroy apologized.

“Come here sweetie.” She managed to smile and spread her arms.

Leroy went to embrace her. “You don’t need to apologize for anything.” She ruffled his hair when he pulled away to look at his mom.

“What is it?” She asked.

“So I was wondering - “ Leroy stopped.

“What do you want?” Ivy parted his curls thinking that her son needed to change his look soon.

“Can we go out to get ice cream today?” Leroy blurted.

“You want ice cream?” She asked and Leroy nodded.

“Why don't you help me finish dusting? Then I'll take you out for ice cream when it two.” Ivy made her offer.

“Sure no problem but can I get French fries too or chips?” Leroy added his own offer.

“No.” Ivy objected.

“Why mommmm?” Leroy grumbled.

“If you want both then you must help me dust and you must eat some cucumber too.” Ivy stated.

Leroy paused considering his mom’s offer. “That's not a fair deal.”

“Take it?” Ivy smiled.

“No mom, let’s make it ice cream, french fries and a strawberry shake then I will eat cucumbers. You know I don't like cucumber but that my final offer.” Leroy stated.

“Did you just say final offer?” Ivy tweaked his nose gently.

“Yes mom, that’s my final offer.” Leroy replied.

“I'll take it then.” Ivy accepted.

“Wooowwww...Thanks mom you are the best!” Leroy embraced his mom tightly.

“Alright now let's clean up the house.” Ivy pulled away from her son.
