The first month was the worst. It was when he was at his peak when it came to Media attention. Everyone and everything knew what he was then because it was all that was ever talked about. Did you see his stellar performance or did you see the Japanese dragon he got on his back from the most famed Japanese tattoo artist of all time. Everything was about him. It was hard because I struggled, struggled to erase the memories of that night. It kept playing over and over and over like a broken record player.

“Merriam this man has cameras”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxQwXRmg0HA
“And”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWfEg5VgcdZ
She grabs my arms tries to get me to jump but I decline and continue cleaning
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXhq4Rpzcz
“This month has been peaceful with bang boy away”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2uikeTg2l
She falls onto the couch and smiles
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ97JNpiRj9
“So comfy”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aXXV7XMvj
“Glad you like it”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK51DpW5oQ
After the first month those teasingly weeks until his arrival made me happy. I was happy to escape what I have made unprofessional and tainted. Tainted with what I swore never to do. But then something I never expected happened
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDXLSEBojl
“Huh that’s weird”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡri6ryD0SIl
Merriam hands me some pads and I take it
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5ALaJhE2K
“What”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXCYWeEqy0
“Well my period is late”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrv536J0YF
She looks at me and my heart drops
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkEdWkjmBL
“It’s late”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJwjIwXrYb
I repeat this over and over again before letting out a screeching scream
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSBWhBPK8GQ
“NO”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RLex3nIa8
Me and Merriam rush to the pharmacy and pick up a pregnancy test. I can’t have this happen, I can’t be pregnant there is no way. Once we Enter the penthouse I make a beeline for the bathroom and rip open the pregnancy test. After I pee on the stick I leave the bathroom and crouch down crying
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHe23l1nlH
“I can’t Merriam I can’t be pregnant”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWQ6e4upfV
She walks into the bathroom and picks up the stick
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30zj4HLeSu
“I-“
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8RDiTlyDK
She walks toward me solemnly and bends down. In her face I can see her deepest of sympathies as I grab the stick and look
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvHtAohoXF
Pregnant
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXwrbPPkA9
I felt my soul rip from me as I lay down and cry. Merriam brushes my hair from my face as the past two days has been spent crying in my house and at work. I never thought about it but the memories of me eating and throwing up especially pop up now. Merriam will make different foods for me thinking that Ryder must have made contact with papa legba and sent me a baby since he is sometimes viewed as a fertility god.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdjp2M2gu1
“I doubt Ryder knows who papa legba is Merriam”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWPnL29nEb
She stirs the soup
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EOuRwjEI6
“You don’t know it’s hollywood after all. Now drink so you can get this baby out”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2WyTQn0YH
After a week of throwing up my throat was sore and my mind was soo hazy. I know I have to tell Ryder and see what we do from here but the thought of that convo alone scares me. I sweep the floor and feel the urge to throw up but I try to hold it in
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVTsCdPES4
“GIRL HES COMING”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrChexw6vSn
Merriam throws away all her plans about how to get rid of the baby brung by papa legba in the garbage and I prepare myself for seeing his face again. I hear the keys enter the lock and my body tenses as each agonizing seconds leads me closer and closer to seeing him again
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiqTPrjcmL
“Hayyy maidsss”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hlqmBtizE
A woman enters and it’s the same one he left with on tour. She smiles and gets closer to us
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPukSQcj7d
“Ladies we will be having a party today”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK43hpl3pj
She rambles on and on but pregnancy brain is making me forget all of what she was saying
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrFs8CBb6y
“Huh”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFHOmex3it
Merriam laughs out loud and the lady looks dumbfounded
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa1XXxcsiT
“What you mean huh I said we will have a small party today so please make this place look like a marble beauty” she walks away and my eyes catch Ryder coming in. I can see the stubble across his face and also his hair now touching his upper back as he walks in with a suitcase.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttUH9UG1BX
“Get these washed”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDMp6lETHr
Merriam nods yes and drags his luggage away. We exchange a look then I turn away
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oiD6j4xIC
“Make me a smoothie”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP7Vg7YhDv
I nod okay and walk to the make him the regular. I hand it to him and go to walk away
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyq4Pixny1
“Stay we need to talk about your resignation”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOf5DD0HvS
I walk back
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eBSsQEa6W
“I have collected the papers. I have signed them and will be mailed off today. They won’t know the real reason other than familial matters so relax”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVT3BQZHPP
I nod alright. Shit I have to pee
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6HS0LJ98E
“I have to pee now”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjO1ViHzeM
I rush to the bathroom and pee then come back out and see him still sitting.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqskv6cV0Y
“I’m sorry please continue”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeDM1WCVHs
He nods okay
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jsABfDG5W
“Well I will send them off tonight but for now we are having 3 guest come in. Candlelit dinner is what I’m going after”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMlGuFgQbi
I have to tell him now
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ154wWO1FzM
“Ryder I need to tell you something”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV05xSHbzJ
I take a deep breath in and out
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPK52SP1T5
“I’m-“
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGGfxEIAnw
“ENGAGED YESSS”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4yS7gnR4v
The woman comes back out interrupting me and flings herself to Ryder. Merriam’s face screams don’t tell
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvStweD5ag
“Me and Ryder are happily engaged so I’m happy and hopeful of our marvelous future”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0JWZ3lQBr
FUCK
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirnDLwRDyI
I rush to the sink and throw up. Merriam rushes to my side
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XbgCqHlf9
“What the fuck”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP4vv392ug
The lady walks to me and turns on the sink
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsBDsVfpGB
“My gosh a better response then puking to my engagement would’ve been way better”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc8eGSt6Su
“I’m sorry”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEziDHfaYy
I wipe my mouth with a napkin and Ryder looks at me
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwirmeCdSyW
“Upset stomach”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUp7poLmsq
“For how long”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uVIVnpxh3
Ryder stands up and stands near the woman. His eyes dim as he glares at me
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WyXWDRkWk
“Since yesterday. I have been eating soup”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiEzc083ml
“Eat more. Merriam make us all a nice soup”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PuWvfBM17
She nods okay and I sit on the far end as the others sit on the opposite end. He’s engaged to her, I mean it’s not like she’s a better choice then most women in Hollywood but if I was to keep the baby, she would be in its life. And from the looks of it that might be a bad idea.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f5fjx9Pwf
“So I was planning of a beach wedding”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TtMWjHtu4
The lady shoves a magazine in front of me and points to the wedding a latest celebrity had.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPNORPZBud
“Looks nice”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzstO5UsX6H
She smiles and shows me her ring
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vSi5YgyXN
“24 karat diamond ring from monteque. I know it was a pretty penny to purchase”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbexYuMmuQE

226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbKgg6nBT2
“Psst”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6prvLqomA
Merriam hands me soup and whispers in my ear
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyv9nc1k1Y
“He looks like he’s encountered papa legba”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYl4d8UEGK
I quickly look at Ryder and see his regular unfazed face
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60nSPBkTFz
“I doubt that Merriam. Stop being paranoid”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SXbxdk5fm
“What, can’t I as a proud Haitian woman tell you when I know a person has encountered an Iwa”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9if8AMlBM
We both look at him then look away
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuaBGt5DDP
“Merriam keep your conspiracy theories on the low for now”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeErnzxtTBn
She shakes her head okay and eats her soup
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTScdg8FXpi
“By the way what did you have to tell me Sam”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vip3pSab0
I swallow my soup down hard as Ryder focuses on me
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuATpjgVj3P
“Nothing really”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oahAQVHab
“Alright then”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3l5Z652Xq
He stands up and offers the woman a hand up
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNHZxAoTYT
“Although she introduced herself to you guys she hasn’t said her name. Maids meet Natasha. She’s my fiancé”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYWK3ax18z
We wave hi and Natasha waves back eagerly
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrKoxQCMSv
“Hi maids I’m so happy to be here”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbRxfvkR9F
They walk to the window to chat and I massage my temples
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABFIUJVohc
“Of all the fishes in the sea he choose a chatty one”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhWbnQu8nw
Merriam sits next to me and hands me another bowl of soup
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlX1Wzm10Ix
“At least he looks content”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgUFcz3T9X
My phone rings in my pocket and I smile as I see James
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeesEjH9KPn
“James”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT4q63Aaed
“Sam”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcnplqueEh

226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrzvguwtMc
“James you haven’t spoken to me in a while. what the hell”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgup96dUaD5
“I know”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppWD5EzOkd
“NO YOU DONT KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotlOZ3tZwC
I control my anger and feel my sadness start set in
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkK0FmAEnIQ
“I’m sorry Sam I really am-“
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogwlFj8UKl
“No your not”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0y0ItqJ8l
I sob on the phone and sit down
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomr04DqVnM
“Sam I wanted to tell you that I’m back in town”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMqMCwhAXy
“Really”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3ob3DYAjz
Like a dog my ears perk as happiness floods in
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlGp1JYiuC
“Woah talk about a change in moods”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3TgeWvf4W
I smile embarrassingly. Must be the pregnancy hormones
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9IqwWSb4k
“I’m sorry”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC8jokebQh
“It’s alright. I know every Friday you leave early so when you do please change and meet me “
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2ujGxO2Ds
“I can’t tonight Ryder and his fiancé need us to prep a candlelit dinner”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswXYr9rwS0
“He has a fiancé”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpjLfTv1Rc

226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr6vInyHUh
“You got my word. So how about tomorrow”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRBL5hpCTK
I smile
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuPgUHZQJL
“Yeah”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA70EE9Udq8
“Alright I think you have to get going so bye”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUSQwHFQdm
“Bye James”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi8EqxcJzF
I hang up and walk inside the apartment to see Merriam and Natasha arguing
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq3UW57zNV
“MARBLE WILL MAKE YOU LOOK UGLY CHOOSE BLACK”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwSPLc4LHW
“BLACK WONT GO WELL WITH MY LIMITED EDITION GUCCI CULTURE”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUN6Fm8wjP
“THEN EAT OUT THEN”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9e36M5E3S
“FINE”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkjclAQL4f
I slowly close the door behind me and Merriam spots me
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyK0jL0Sfr
“SAM”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkuddsPQK1
She storms at me and holds grips my shoulder
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PrQZMUmWr
“Does marble go with Gucci culture or the MARVELOUS BLACK”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAAz1xB9nI
I can see Natasha follow too and she pushes Merriam aside to speak to me
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoOrHvEli8
“NO MAID. I think Gucci culture goes well with the MARVELOUS MARBLE”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYgIEcg4gx
They stare each other down but my mind is focused on the bathroom. If I get there quick I might be able to pee
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVimqNXROHh
“We’ll make what is it”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkU9FZn2xEn
I look back at Natasha
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs9WcxM2BB
“I think you should eat out”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMXUrq00Gu
“TOLD YA”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyTNWoB9b7
They continue arguing and I run the bathroom to pee. Once I get out I see Ryder listening in on Natasha and Merriam. I take this time to place my gloves on and clean the penthouse door. I grab the bucket and slyly make my way to the apartment hallway and close the door. I take a deep breath in and start scrubbing with a scented detergent
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3apz1pzgK
“Trying to escape the arguing”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwz8XdVqfI
The door opens and I look up to see Ryder. He closes it behind him and leans his back on the wall as I clean
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfPtL01K2e
“Not really I just need to do my job”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WHH0HizuL
I scrub all around the doorknob and bell
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEIRKZSgTs
“Your a weird one”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KIqS9Lpwk
Ryder grabs the rag from my hand
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc398CDrfFB
“Now let’s have a real conversation about what happened a month and a half ago”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4lKXrvaR6
Petrified I grab the rag back and turn away from him
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLtv5mVQzc
“There’s no need”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE1tZWpldK
I get in all the nooks and crannies of the door as the memories of such night start to reappear. The last thing I need right now is to be triggered from such Events.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3VX3KFsVs
“Why not, it is the reason why your resigning”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWueBhVaXi
I place the rag down
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoYuuTCbw8
“Fine”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCROBlK6z4r
We sit on the windowsill and observe the bustling street life from above
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyd8uf0jp2
“What happened that nice was a drunken mistake. I was upset about that man giving my dog some whiskey and cried. Everything I held in I cried and drank. You happened to be there so things happened to happen”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmtAGJAGpz
I steer clear from Ryders eyes as I glance at the tall skyscrapers reflecting the suns light
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnbMMlwBMg
“So did you mean what you told me when you told me to admit that I hated my life”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYGLgqZY1c
I sheepishly look away as I feel my face flush
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFI4tfp2au
“Yes. When your drunk don’t you always speak the truth”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNjUzKngWz
Ryder looks onward at me and shrugs
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7shDOZ4L1H
“That is for me to know and you to never find out”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O25hdWzMi
I stand up and stroll towards the bucket and squat
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9TdGhSCUk
“Well mister Ryder I must clean the door. Please don’t think I’m cutting our conversation short”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSG8lCeCp6
Ryder sits up and walks towards the elevator
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2hQC2re2g
“No need for proper talk Sam I know that doesn’t suit you well”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHEa90YbhY
He enters the elevator and I ignore his words. All because I talk normal he thinks that proper behavior doesn’t suit me. I swear rich people and their fucking antics. After a while of cleaning and making sure Merriam and Natasha doesn’t rip their throats out Ryder decided that it’s best we go home
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvJzfsDzhc
“I will send you each an outfit to wear for tonight’s outing. Most likely you will be photographed. For now you will pretend to be my fiancés friend”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI450vO52P5
We nod okay and I walk towards the train and go home. One I enter home I hear chubs wonder barking as he runs to me and jumps up. I lift him up and gently place him on the couch
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeySEh7oQ2j
“Alright chubs no barking alright”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPux2ybVAzk
I look at the pile of envelopes on the small table and pick them up. Ah yes more envelopes telling me my rent is due. I place the envelopes down and in my mirror I lift my shirt up.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB3KbQP2eS
“Alright so I’m 7 weeks along”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGN0G3dxwwv
I look for any sign of a bump but then again I’m chubby so a bump can be mistaken for some fat. I hear a knock on the door and when I open it I see a kind man holding a bag
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQuMTcYr9M
“For you”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42fhq7f2ZR
I slip him five bucks then close the door. when I open the bag I see a long black backless dress with a note inside.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnnOJOQT40
For you from Me
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCxXrwl4C4
I smile to myself and shake the bag, when I do a book falls out
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQscU3Uta8
“Hmm”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l2XcwX7i4
I grab the book and read the title
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAF3AdwX8P
Evergreens love galore
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqndKyhxFB
I read the back and I find myself smiling harder. This must be a sequel to secretive enchantment. In this sequel this girl and man live together in the castle and something happens to the girl. Forced to keep a secret she must choose between happiness or devastation.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkwwBss3ou
“What a cornball”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVZVvDTGwL
I place the book down on the table and go to shower. After I shower I check the time and I rush as I’m suppose to meet up at the restaurant in 10 minutes. Time flies when your worrying about pregnancy, dresses and books. I blow dry and curl my hair as quickly as I can then place the dress on slowly to not rip it
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBATMjSWxO
“Of course he chose this dress look how tight it looks”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡezfWjhsmRG
I examine the dress on me as and notice that my bust was bigger then before and sorer too. Ugh I can’t worry about that now and hopefully this won’t affect me never. I rush out the house and walk to a car that Ryder has sent out for me. I feel my nausea start to boil over so I crack open the window to feel the fresh air as we drive. These heels are abusing my toes but you know what I gotta deal with it.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcygQnIoJBi
“RYDER RYDER”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD241N9cv5a
The screams of rabid people fill my ears as multiple flashing lights blind the entrance of the restaurant. I can see Ryder and Natasha interlocking arms as they enter the restaurant. His Pr team must have tipped the paparazzi here. I soon get out of the car and hear Merriam’s voice in the distance
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTDwH3k0g3
“SAM”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu0GFqLcHm
She runs to me and then stops.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoADeZ6jIKY
“You didn’t go inside yet”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJtQwXaoPX
She shakes her head no and takes a deep breath in and out
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIYIfyaAQ1
“You see how much paparazzi is there. The reason they are here because this has been known to be a celebrity hotspot only every Friday. Fancy as hell I know but really I bet they serve food that are very small in portion. It’s like you pay a thousand for a nibble”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY8udMrDPg
We walk into the restaurant and the bouncer stops us
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhwqN9YAEH
“Who’s your connection”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoZlCh9rEA
“Ryder”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozeVkL57GT
The bouncer checks the list
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhzhsRqVgN
“Names”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbYUK1IgTR
“Sam and Merriam”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFpw8N2jEH
He nods okay and we enter inside. The smell of seafood and candles swarm the place as soft and warm instrumentals play in the background. The view of the Hudson River and the skylight illuminate the place as it’s dim in nature. We make our way through the chatty crowds to the balcony upstairs where it is lined up with other wealthy people who can afford such luxury. Natasha waves us over and we make our presence known.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqH6zdBJze
“Look nice maids”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbNCtKQeO6
Ryder takes his eyes off the menu and looks up at me and for a second I swear I can see something other than a distant stare. For a second in his eyes I can sense some what of a soft look, It’s as if he was staring at a puppy
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3sL87z9pn
“Sit ladies”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKmIKdfrLU
We all sit down in the round glass table and we pick up the menus. I glance over the menu and so far I see far more caviar dishes then anything of real substance. The only thing I see there that really peeks my interest is a seafood boil.
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCJmuJhwzv

226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8P3sthbeOv
She lays her head on his shoulder and together we all sit in silence and listen to the music play. I close my eyes and slip into the beat when the sounds of dishes against the table alert me. I look up to see many seafood dishes in my bowl

226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3ujN5c2jJ
“I want to thank you once again for coming out”
226Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJmdLjfrg5
