IT HAD TO BE YOU by Francis Ray

Deleted scenes on a cutting room floor: Introduction to Zachary "Rolling Deep" Wilder - The Hottest Record producer in LA.

His handsome face expressionless, Zachary "Rolling Deep" Wilder, the hottest record producer in LA, sat at the equipment board in the recording studio and listened to the track of Deep, Down and Dirty unreleased single. The massive entourage of the Grammy winning, Rap recording artist, stood or sat around the room waiting for Rolling Deep to say something. Even Deep, Down and Dirty had his 18k yellow gold and diamond encrusted GoldVish cell phone off.




A soft knock on the door had two massive body guards moving in that direction. One opened the door to admit Rolling Deep's personal assistant for his Rap artists. Undisturbed by the frowns of the men, she crossed the room wearing a Alexander McQueen Cap-Sleeve Dress with Sergio Rossi Crystal Cage Booties. She waited for the last, pulsating beat of the song, and for Rolling Deep to acknowledge her. A second later he spun away from the equipment board. Deep, Down and Dirty leaned forward, his platinum necklace with DDD in diamonds brushed against his black Valentino shirt.



"Yes, Trish?" Rolling deep said.



" E.T.T.R aka. Everything To The Right is on line one. Tommy Gunn sent his signed contact back. The president of Musik Records is holding on line 2. Your driver is waiting to take you to your luncheon date with Scarlet."



"Thanks," Rolling Deep said. "Please tell them I'll call them back."



"Yes, sir." Quietly she left the room.



Zach faced Deep, Down and Dirty. "It needs work."



His face set, Deep, Down and Dirty came to his feet. His entourage closed around him.



Undisturbed, Rolling Deep folded his arms and leaned back against the board behind him. "Your decision."



"Whatever you say, R.D." Deep, Down and Dirty, a gleaming smile on his face, stuck out his hand. Platinum and diamonds rings glittered on every finger.. "You the man."



Zach accepted the hand. "Monday. Nine sharp and leave them outside the studio."



"Like I said, whatever you say."



As the men piled out, Rolling Deep pulled his Blackberry from his pocket and called his driver. "Toby, I'm on my way out." Disconnected the call he walked from the room. Life was good.
