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”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwfPy05Gq2

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4RJJNmWt3
She grabs my arms tries to get me to jump but I decline and continue cleaning
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pPHW8MzPD
“This month has been peaceful with bang boy away”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjOsumYwWV
She falls onto the couch and smiles
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QsMfiQmYO
“So comfy”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecJl9mqhVo
“Glad you like it”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVXYy8OGGC
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
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbpwXGlpY3
“Huh that’s weird”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUwc8uDshI
Merriam hands me some pads and I take it
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkh6SDyLofB
“What”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87nCs40RSp
“Well my period is late”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxxv3v8df9
She looks at me and my heart drops
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSsjzWvmjv
“It’s late”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffA8YdYRgj
I repeat this over and over again before letting out a screeching scream
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxlJZTyGLJ
“NO”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdNbIPF9Uz
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
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY0tbQeUjn
“I can’t Merriam I can’t be pregnant”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMrpejpXQ7
She walks into the bathroom and picks up the stick
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GKGxaKlLL
“I-“
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpblrSw8ArT
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
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlDqMW3gIw
Pregnant
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtdOZx5HVT
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmckU3W8ZtW
“I doubt Ryder knows who papa legba is Merriam”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBw8qWIFPW
She stirs the soup
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz0Nom6lwB
“You don’t know it’s hollywood after all. Now drink so you can get this baby out”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZYQyIwY70
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
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQKDbH0PhE
“GIRL HES COMING”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVPs2KvDlh
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
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDndW2VtlwE
“Hayyy maidsss”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3OTbxeQuz
A woman enters and it’s the same one he left with on tour. She smiles and gets closer to us
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYNnyz0fqG
“Ladies we will be having a party today”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yxDBqWEBS
She rambles on and on but pregnancy brain is making me forget all of what she was saying
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwL67rzhTo
“Huh”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8bFu97N1p
Merriam laughs out loud and the lady looks dumbfounded
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmsvQizfBF
“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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAmLkEBWue
“Get these washed”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7cPpfmq3w
Merriam nods yes and drags his luggage away. We exchange a look then I turn away
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdRpp8tUHf
“Make me a smoothie”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVYw5yr5bj
I nod okay and walk to the make him the regular. I hand it to him and go to walk away
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgKSuKqLjN
“Stay we need to talk about your resignation”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2PvanLrqq
I walk back
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfFNi8VBC3
“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”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFs2RSxURw
I nod alright. Shit I have to pee
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzwlFVUQQI
“I have to pee now”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0XXH0I27F
I rush to the bathroom and pee then come back out and see him still sitting.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjs9pms8wm
“I’m sorry please continue”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXSZHW5Uj8
He nods okay
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhkrvJ3vAT
“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”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOar47BO49
I have to tell him now
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenesSjtw3A
“Ryder I need to tell you something”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSa8kNLB14
I take a deep breath in and out
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySD0ZAKqXp
“I’m-“
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyOTFdta9n
“ENGAGED YESSS”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IDvln4wCM
The woman comes back out interrupting me and flings herself to Ryder. Merriam’s face screams don’t tell
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltWcbxvIHn
“Me and Ryder are happily engaged so I’m happy and hopeful of our marvelous future”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY5gd5S8AR
FUCK
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8exksA7oyw
I rush to the sink and throw up. Merriam rushes to my side
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98cJDA4Gkz
“What the fuck”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NaVIhDyQD
The lady walks to me and turns on the sink
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOu0Bdfe1z
“My gosh a better response then puking to my engagement would’ve been way better”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGEtVC9jKM
“I’m sorry”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPclam9f0tJ
I wipe my mouth with a napkin and Ryder looks at me
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqq3x0U5EBf
“Upset stomach”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGtP8JAF84
“For how long”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJigvQhfcyR
Ryder stands up and stands near the woman. His eyes dim as he glares at me
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbAFkxPuoV
“Since yesterday. I have been eating soup”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzMl6qfYAw
“Eat more. Merriam make us all a nice soup”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSISn76sMgj
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL6JYm625O
“So I was planning of a beach wedding”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47mD2Lihyc
The lady shoves a magazine in front of me and points to the wedding a latest celebrity had.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0EYHQGre5
“Looks nice”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5RDrLxsd5

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzRfyqMQxq

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp9L9TD05H
“Psst”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2Yzkdo9j3
Merriam hands me soup and whispers in my ear
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxSUmusI1c
“He looks like he’s encountered papa legba”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkvmHE0a5e
I quickly look at Ryder and see his regular unfazed face
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJZHTsiQiv
“I doubt that Merriam. Stop being paranoid”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFCwZM2ilX
“What, can’t I as a proud Haitian woman tell you when I know a person has encountered an Iwa”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxU5HgJaV5
We both look at him then look away
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy91GFtsT7x
“Merriam keep your conspiracy theories on the low for now”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw11adbyqY
She shakes her head okay and eats her soup
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN9iXwLFcR
“By the way what did you have to tell me Sam”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvN1ezVBQc
I swallow my soup down hard as Ryder focuses on me
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmFzLA2Q45
“Nothing really”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cBgPFFUAo
“Alright then”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZ7VhZzK0p
He stands up and offers the woman a hand up
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wv5bv787p
“Although she introduced herself to you guys she hasn’t said her name. Maids meet Natasha. She’s my fiancé”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfgBEXjj5O
We wave hi and Natasha waves back eagerly
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhMdNZ1vNr
“Hi maids I’m so happy to be here”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5SQCTIJ8P
They walk to the window to chat and I massage my temples
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpf0afWqx3v
“Of all the fishes in the sea he choose a chatty one”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJ3OfZNwAx
Merriam sits next to me and hands me another bowl of soup
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuCgiEprZ5
“At least he looks content”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxz7Rwjv8QS
My phone rings in my pocket and I smile as I see James
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwAo47NES4
“James”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9BTHB1DgC
“Sam”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOGRpOavDb

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7UdJh5fv4

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRaaN1BbU8
“I know”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ld0DQuKW5
“NO YOU DONT KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBkjcd2rt8
I control my anger and feel my sadness start set in
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU8mSS3HhI
“I’m sorry Sam I really am-“
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2IVj3JGOn
“No your not”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4bq6W42E7
I sob on the phone and sit down
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCoiBifBUl
“Sam I wanted to tell you that I’m back in town”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4xg7UZlUs
“Really”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxsmRj8Pfb
Like a dog my ears perk as happiness floods in
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7pDUEOdjn
“Woah talk about a change in moods”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFKXp4qqEL
I smile embarrassingly. Must be the pregnancy hormones
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpVj15r2HS
“I’m sorry”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTyxHkgSgV
“It’s alright. I know every Friday you leave early so when you do please change and meet me “
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0krPIkbIwu

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0IymFVO3O

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLVwvBlgoE
“You got my word. So how about tomorrow”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2p6uVj9pU

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcxV8Xoz8O
“Yeah”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8mvh07H77
“Alright I think you have to get going so bye”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzxbLvDV5D
“Bye James”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAUs0oC65eb
I hang up and walk inside the apartment to see Merriam and Natasha arguing
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQUzUPL8Qi
“MARBLE WILL MAKE YOU LOOK UGLY CHOOSE BLACK”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbalw2XYxc
“BLACK WONT GO WELL WITH MY LIMITED EDITION GUCCI CULTURE”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmeoaPW6Db
“THEN EAT OUT THEN”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgU2LJC0md
“FINE”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw43JNJ2UUR
I slowly close the door behind me and Merriam spots me
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEueDQoPXod
“SAM”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8bTiyJ9Ly
She storms at me and holds grips my shoulder
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQAPhMlakX
“Does marble go with Gucci culture or the MARVELOUS BLACK”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJRKNaGi6W
I can see Natasha follow too and she pushes Merriam aside to speak to me
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeOdDmkjqF
“NO MAID. I think Gucci culture goes well with the MARVELOUS MARBLE”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaiQir8E0F8
They stare each other down but my mind is focused on the bathroom. If I get there quick I might be able to pee
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpLU8lIovV
“We’ll make what is it”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrWRgQaDeP
I look back at Natasha
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6nsReuF75
“I think you should eat out”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaShaABd28g
“TOLD YA”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m6ByPUaPT
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
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDhvBxxpbk
“Trying to escape the arguing”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE45VhtPZRP
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
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxPdMTpM9N
“Not really I just need to do my job”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbryFFie18
I scrub all around the doorknob and bell
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FlZQ13HXK
“Your a weird one”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSHCnSFNv6X
Ryder grabs the rag from my hand
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh9ZGGYfaM
“Now let’s have a real conversation about what happened a month and a half ago”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡprV992EEYb
Petrified I grab the rag back and turn away from him
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9hCBxcfO7
“There’s no need”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhDLJfFnAaU
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GCRoGUj9m
“Why not, it is the reason why your resigning”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡachrOpfTOw
I place the rag down
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVDssflgRW
“Fine”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBzEldyaBt
We sit on the windowsill and observe the bustling street life from above
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYicCD7eHh
“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”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BeOOKcNMN
I steer clear from Ryders eyes as I glance at the tall skyscrapers reflecting the suns light
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJq6U4S14s
“So did you mean what you told me when you told me to admit that I hated my life”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKB2psA19dw
I sheepishly look away as I feel my face flush
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYSbpTS4OV
“Yes. When your drunk don’t you always speak the truth”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjEzqicoYX
Ryder looks onward at me and shrugs
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSi0HlDzDtC
“That is for me to know and you to never find out”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS2VaBmvmN
I stand up and stroll towards the bucket and squat
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdaOb7wEaw
“Well mister Ryder I must clean the door. Please don’t think I’m cutting our conversation short”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJHhsIwjFZ
Ryder sits up and walks towards the elevator
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG7VTsoX7r
“No need for proper talk Sam I know that doesn’t suit you well”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlIpR9Vp9v
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
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7b9uodE6e
“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”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrrC9dt7qg
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
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhtbZbX0mA
“Alright chubs no barking alright”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLCk8cw15p
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyzN0EDUZZ
“Alright so I’m 7 weeks along”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZJM8N8vjw
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
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyYBUTtZuI
“For you”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxVq7lk5Hj
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZpnfH7zGg
For you from Me
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Rpj1cQzF1
I smile to myself and shake the bag, when I do a book falls out
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBNM9YOrxh
“Hmm”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3HTOY6hvC
I grab the book and read the title
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GPnObNlvs
Evergreens love galore
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoyrjJA73M
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolIkgulzls
“What a cornball”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQCcqqulKx
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
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTqLz1au0f
“Of course he chose this dress look how tight it looks”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ys8NrCjoO
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA59M6wF0m5
“RYDER RYDER”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJP6pp7R7O
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
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrtm72B3Gn
“SAM”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwORhzRpo0U
She runs to me and then stops.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvgicSVxxY
“You didn’t go inside yet”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtq2rewY26
She shakes her head no and takes a deep breath in and out
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Hh4kEP3yJ
“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”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1d3EcYRVZ
We walk into the restaurant and the bouncer stops us
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBLmsgOBxb
“Who’s your connection”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnAZrlQova
“Ryder”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMPIkt9K92O
The bouncer checks the list
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwnBudkfDv
“Names”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iFiQVxsU7
“Sam and Merriam”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP6QYJEYeF
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxSiVj7hbw
“Look nice maids”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcoQFqWOSD
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
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2rcr7rfaI
“Sit ladies”
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aNlBJOd6Q
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.
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer8jxEVO06
