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”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCxkvALMfn

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFllzExV3SZ
She grabs my arms tries to get me to jump but I decline and continue cleaning
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EeBnWXcyj
“This month has been peaceful with bang boy away”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn1virBDAW
She falls onto the couch and smiles
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCxgqV8p6l
“So comfy”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO78n0o9ffv
“Glad you like it”

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
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ91perUOoU
“Huh that’s weird”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsDL27FfHh
Merriam hands me some pads and I take it
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpTxGgygX8
“What”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXhtWxMQoy
“Well my period is late”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnnvAMBfNl
She looks at me and my heart drops
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZN7qCL1pJ
“It’s late”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxOBpMTP6H
I repeat this over and over again before letting out a screeching scream
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFp3YlJ3Sx
“NO”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDLv5NE7yN
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
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjLz3yuKI1
“I can’t Merriam I can’t be pregnant”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cF4r7aHLc
She walks into the bathroom and picks up the stick
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOgXGbfUfD
“I-“
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeIW0d0HgO
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
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrm9CV9MH44
Pregnant
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2rB3ry62s
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo3lulBA4Q
“I doubt Ryder knows who papa legba is Merriam”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZuTj7Td15
She stirs the soup
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnCjAKLb5m
“You don’t know it’s hollywood after all. Now drink so you can get this baby out”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyJAj830zZ
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
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAI5ZtNrRY
“GIRL HES COMING”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwHVF1ipzI
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
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw219KT2bpT
“Hayyy maidsss”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2FRqnuKSu
A woman enters and it’s the same one he left with on tour. She smiles and gets closer to us
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAoXrbXAVe
“Ladies we will be having a party today”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNkQ9Xl5AZ
She rambles on and on but pregnancy brain is making me forget all of what she was saying
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6QjHCJq1Y
“Huh”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNB4lFpXJI
Merriam laughs out loud and the lady looks dumbfounded
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrkvBjg4Qh
“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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIRjGlFhM8
“Get these washed”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyawxLU92W
Merriam nods yes and drags his luggage away. We exchange a look then I turn away
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0Puzqdsnt
“Make me a smoothie”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRDG5YBBRF
I nod okay and walk to the make him the regular. I hand it to him and go to walk away
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpp3HvpqOw
“Stay we need to talk about your resignation”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrnnjL7VMs
I walk back
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMbFoxFIrT
“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”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlVTvWgKdz
I nod alright. Shit I have to pee
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCscAGq1801
“I have to pee now”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAL9KPFsqW
I rush to the bathroom and pee then come back out and see him still sitting.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8luwaIEfFV
“I’m sorry please continue”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iQxBFnYRO
He nods okay
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM6sYXoo1v
“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”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaB1aVgNMWg
I have to tell him now
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKW8FVAddCG
“Ryder I need to tell you something”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yQipU7RaR
I take a deep breath in and out
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBbay5a5pI
“I’m-“
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWA1h30Qw9y
“ENGAGED YESSS”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBuY7uPkfi
The woman comes back out interrupting me and flings herself to Ryder. Merriam’s face screams don’t tell
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybzgiQwWMD
“Me and Ryder are happily engaged so I’m happy and hopeful of our marvelous future”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1ZoPrT7ni
FUCK
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCKNgBVfyl
I rush to the sink and throw up. Merriam rushes to my side
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPU6JJO3kY
“What the fuck”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhRP8OCQH5
The lady walks to me and turns on the sink
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjNuB4ZcdT
“My gosh a better response then puking to my engagement would’ve been way better”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0itUDenz2V
“I’m sorry”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlRCbiyMkx
I wipe my mouth with a napkin and Ryder looks at me
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxpqNXwfqh
“Upset stomach”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUG06msMth
“For how long”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf9uAyLTTX
Ryder stands up and stands near the woman. His eyes dim as he glares at me
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCGmktcYYn
“Since yesterday. I have been eating soup”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazUOKL7Fym
“Eat more. Merriam make us all a nice soup”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvpPSrhiNj
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj5jCX8oVg
“So I was planning of a beach wedding”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk79NxKE3s
The lady shoves a magazine in front of me and points to the wedding a latest celebrity had.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13YuuVYRkA
“Looks nice”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N3kGgJk8D

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr5s0Fvg6X
“24 karat diamond ring from monteque. I know it was a pretty penny to purchase”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwZtxVbqOJ

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96aLrcPAP1
“Psst”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQghWANIz2
Merriam hands me soup and whispers in my ear
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ahNnBgMc0
“He looks like he’s encountered papa legba”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ic5zi5RGp
I quickly look at Ryder and see his regular unfazed face
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3ju0TSMXS
“I doubt that Merriam. Stop being paranoid”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnrnF4OHJQ
“What, can’t I as a proud Haitian woman tell you when I know a person has encountered an Iwa”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ4tJNP0qM
We both look at him then look away
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4C3VrFUnT
“Merriam keep your conspiracy theories on the low for now”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm9lUiHUVP
She shakes her head okay and eats her soup
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwntOrSy3QI
“By the way what did you have to tell me Sam”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VwrviZ1dZ
I swallow my soup down hard as Ryder focuses on me
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yzGBLa5Og
“Nothing really”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFUuMqsgZk
“Alright then”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRJcoSHNPE
He stands up and offers the woman a hand up
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxpp0tOIW5
“Although she introduced herself to you guys she hasn’t said her name. Maids meet Natasha. She’s my fiancé”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMM9kYdqxq
We wave hi and Natasha waves back eagerly
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdI89l6EGv
“Hi maids I’m so happy to be here”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaxUAkG7CL
They walk to the window to chat and I massage my temples
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fGkIDyFWN
“Of all the fishes in the sea he choose a chatty one”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtsSdg3LvJ
Merriam sits next to me and hands me another bowl of soup
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yWsLvJ7Fq
“At least he looks content”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONBhfWKC2M
My phone rings in my pocket and I smile as I see James
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTnVHPhSGm
“James”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleTAsVI2Wv
“Sam”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX06GW8RzbE

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXv0WjGzaK
“James you haven’t spoken to me in a while. what the hell”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAWy4dYKEP
“I know”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshhYc1Rmuq
“NO YOU DONT KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqjplsKPgw
I control my anger and feel my sadness start set in
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY7ocyeCrp
“I’m sorry Sam I really am-“
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfxO5wmJPI
“No your not”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN5DUs0Ivb
I sob on the phone and sit down
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6TdxuSebB
“Sam I wanted to tell you that I’m back in town”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizqCNHLcqq
“Really”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtSbgQDgs5
Like a dog my ears perk as happiness floods in
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYazLLpwusv
“Woah talk about a change in moods”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwgPeATf4x
I smile embarrassingly. Must be the pregnancy hormones
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYYflylIxI
“I’m sorry”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLqgiwngDe
“It’s alright. I know every Friday you leave early so when you do please change and meet me “
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecbylboJQp

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxA6GsfodqP

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWYY42qlaoH

271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T6gfkphIe
“You got my word. So how about tomorrow”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzai94hmYrh
I smile
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoKBrGs0OW
“Yeah”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhrD2RRUki
“Alright I think you have to get going so bye”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30ufQwwVKn
“Bye James”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4PfHz8AY5
I hang up and walk inside the apartment to see Merriam and Natasha arguing
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mdvt8gXDg
“MARBLE WILL MAKE YOU LOOK UGLY CHOOSE BLACK”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvGj31aope
“BLACK WONT GO WELL WITH MY LIMITED EDITION GUCCI CULTURE”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePAXmS9EsA
“THEN EAT OUT THEN”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2DNQ3w7Ng
“FINE”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0xwCnV1Ou
I slowly close the door behind me and Merriam spots me
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8QZvvU155
“SAM”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIiIj4eWyx
She storms at me and holds grips my shoulder
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4acrAxkLXA
“Does marble go with Gucci culture or the MARVELOUS BLACK”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZfm4OU6DY
I can see Natasha follow too and she pushes Merriam aside to speak to me
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb7f8gFRUK
“NO MAID. I think Gucci culture goes well with the MARVELOUS MARBLE”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOaluedqqe
They stare each other down but my mind is focused on the bathroom. If I get there quick I might be able to pee
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW2bX6q9jJ
“We’ll make what is it”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUGw4TUnuX
I look back at Natasha
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFISaxTX4xT
“I think you should eat out”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiqWrpE7ZD
“TOLD YA”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopNcWRRM2a
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
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoeUivc2qe
“Trying to escape the arguing”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW49c0XQI2I
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
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkenkyk8zw
“Not really I just need to do my job”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KI0lQ4YOE
I scrub all around the doorknob and bell
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQP2aaKOoM
“Your a weird one”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz68NeBMmE
Ryder grabs the rag from my hand
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2NTFt2T6S
“Now let’s have a real conversation about what happened a month and a half ago”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHKRSE7Nmd
Petrified I grab the rag back and turn away from him
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6by4TY1qeb
“There’s no need”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0K7DHTJ924
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZCdpbGix8
“Why not, it is the reason why your resigning”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDff4puI6Bk
I place the rag down
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM54jKw94H9
“Fine”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwPQHzVqPh
We sit on the windowsill and observe the bustling street life from above
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uCB4VN99B
“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”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6va8UDNPw
I steer clear from Ryders eyes as I glance at the tall skyscrapers reflecting the suns light
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQI9okN1PI
“So did you mean what you told me when you told me to admit that I hated my life”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjtlhB8dvf
I sheepishly look away as I feel my face flush
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VMxr4MbWL
“Yes. When your drunk don’t you always speak the truth”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeURjHbjlE
Ryder looks onward at me and shrugs
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZ5WxFPejb
“That is for me to know and you to never find out”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstSYyN57IX
I stand up and stroll towards the bucket and squat
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylqj4tUU84
“Well mister Ryder I must clean the door. Please don’t think I’m cutting our conversation short”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGET76Gpha
Ryder sits up and walks towards the elevator
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UP5gq5Chm
“No need for proper talk Sam I know that doesn’t suit you well”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IPT7U52Fv
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
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5ImRLXSiU
“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”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswJyggL6aa
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
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkflFHerTY
“Alright chubs no barking alright”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm0XTnors4
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0eguz3IHw
“Alright so I’m 7 weeks along”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw846rnotFz
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
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0HsiQLXjs
“For you”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0ng92Iks3
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvDgeg1Rr2
For you from Me
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtaQSKRpZG
I smile to myself and shake the bag, when I do a book falls out
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqGjdcDX5f
“Hmm”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GrVMsaWYS
I grab the book and read the title
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqHt3IWVIl
Evergreens love galore
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnKeKMbsW3
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkU00xRyqC
“What a cornball”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9obbT9LlVL
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
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQFOSkAsX3
“Of course he chose this dress look how tight it looks”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR3k9I79aY
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhakZanVmv
“RYDER RYDER”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQnZyDZRwi
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
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUoL1bbmNa
“SAM”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVXqg0Mk2o
She runs to me and then stops.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNIY0whI4L
“You didn’t go inside yet”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLDf9GT1bc
She shakes her head no and takes a deep breath in and out
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKjtrhWHdg
“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”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdGCNDxHcD
We walk into the restaurant and the bouncer stops us
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhB5m4haqDf
“Who’s your connection”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6MKaQa7O1
“Ryder”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvNvCFpif8
The bouncer checks the list
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TY3fI0Pbi
“Names”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9fSRtNEq1
“Sam and Merriam”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ958eeCN4L7
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpgy7HErpF
“Look nice maids”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuOS5zOcOK
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
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMRxjVVAoK
“Sit ladies”
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWW0VfnZLQ
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.
271Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiAUNdAqOA
