EPISODE FIFTY TWO

Theme: The story of us

LOS ANGELES

IVY RIVERA APARTMENT

Ivy settled next to Ace on the couch and turned on her laptop. “I have taken a million of pictures of him throughout the years. I have some on my system at the office - but mostly I carry this around whenever I am away from Leroy.” She explained.

“Do you have to be away from him a lot?” Ace asked.

“Not that much, when Leroy was younger he always travelled on location with me. You know how it is to be a film producer and at times director and a photographer. But now that he is in school, he stays with nanny Vanessa whenever I am busy. The old lady you met the other day, she is a good friend of mine. So she helps look after Leroy.” Ivy answered as she clicked her passcode on the laptop.

“How long are you always away when you are busy with work?” Ace asked. He was simply trying to get more about Ivy Rivera.

“Well mostly I am usually gone only a couple of weeks or until the movie or photoshoot ends. And at times I am always gone for months at a time depending how long the filming will take.” Ivy responded, her fingers moving swiftly on the keyboard.

“For how Long have you been working as a film producer?” Ace Clark asked.

“The truth is I am taking a break from filming because Leroy needs me in his life at this time. He is growing so fast so I have to always keep a close eye on him. I am working on just being a photographer at the moment but I have been doing filming for close to four years now and as a photographer..I think six years. I have produced and directed some movies with great producers that made good hits like *love* *me* *again* that movie was incredible I can't believe it took months for us to shoot and end the movie. Leroy was younger then so he went with me to Italy and Paris where we shot the movie.” Ivy narrated as she swiped off the old page.

“You have those pictures here? I do love to see them.” Ace shifted closer to her.

“Yes.” She clicked a few buttons then turned the laptop toward him. “A picture of us on the beach, at the location. Leroy had great time.” Ivy smiled happily as she looked at the picture.

“I can imagine from him giggling in the picture. Where else has he gone with you?” Ace Clark asked as he took his turn to keep swiping picture.

“Australia - My first job as a movie producer we had to travel to Australia to shoot the movie there. My neighbor got the job for me. His name is Leroy Wilson - you should know him? He is a popular film producer.” She took the laptop from him and searched for Leroy Wilson’s folder. She made a documentary on him saved on her laptop.

“I am not sure but his name rings a bell.” Ace Clark mumbled.

“He's also Arthur’s friend. Actually Leroy introduced me to Arthur Young.” Ivy found the folder and unlocked it with a passcode. This documentary means so much to her because the man in question did her a great help. “Leroy won three oscars as a movie producer before he died.” She slide on more pictures of Leroy Wilson.

“He is dead?” Ace Clark double clicked on a photo to zoom it closely.

Sadness clouded Ivy’s features. “Yes..Leroy Wilson died three years ago. But before his death he made sure he introduced me to every movie writer and stars in the industry he knew so that whenever they want to get their story filmed I will be the best person to for the job. Leroy would always say that it is the best he could for me and all the more reason why I named my son after him. He was my inspiration.” Their hands brushed each other when they both made an attempt to click on the keyboard. She looked up at Ace. “Sorry..” she withdrew immediately as if his touch had burned her.
