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”

258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE166GUYd5
She grabs my arms tries to get me to jump but I decline and continue cleaning
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA7iMN9PQr
“This month has been peaceful with bang boy away”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUIpLnYBXo
She falls onto the couch and smiles
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx1RSgRIdd
“So comfy”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd7fohmfcu
“Glad you like it”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XuUxsiMNg
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
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMOyYluxid
“Huh that’s weird”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm5sqM6UVj
Merriam hands me some pads and I take it
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULOQMYTYgG
“What”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0dgg4OFMU
“Well my period is late”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAdWiGv3IN
She looks at me and my heart drops
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCm8zVafM0
“It’s late”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFQG4lMdyD
I repeat this over and over again before letting out a screeching scream
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXIez4bns0
“NO”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9eiCh8cb2
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
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeuMLckdaj
“I can’t Merriam I can’t be pregnant”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9FPA5Jkjre
She walks into the bathroom and picks up the stick
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOJCBcAPKG
“I-“
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWPRmke4z2
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
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ299FrmbNoB
Pregnant
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWxX5hbDsK
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MaGX060Vl
“I doubt Ryder knows who papa legba is Merriam”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmATkADhkyT
She stirs the soup
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAzOaMgtJ9
“You don’t know it’s hollywood after all. Now drink so you can get this baby out”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6l0PyQ4Olr
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
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfONgfXRuV
“GIRL HES COMING”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgIEGdWOVh
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
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRXteLTpVE
“Hayyy maidsss”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXAJQRWS5k
A woman enters and it’s the same one he left with on tour. She smiles and gets closer to us
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjaQwOWJBG
“Ladies we will be having a party today”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jdJdgemk7
She rambles on and on but pregnancy brain is making me forget all of what she was saying
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELENpJGKom
“Huh”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrdGe0hUJW
Merriam laughs out loud and the lady looks dumbfounded
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaC5Fhi5PGb
“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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2y4FJzp7hr
“Get these washed”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mayNIRy68
Merriam nods yes and drags his luggage away. We exchange a look then I turn away
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpwETt9vni
“Make me a smoothie”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLgPPP7pwY
I nod okay and walk to the make him the regular. I hand it to him and go to walk away
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6bgCVmis3
“Stay we need to talk about your resignation”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjqmlaT8Ek
I walk back
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKdlvuwtKL
“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”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItFpVEA9EC
I nod alright. Shit I have to pee
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQxx6ZEuQO
“I have to pee now”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QyD6t9MlP
I rush to the bathroom and pee then come back out and see him still sitting.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgtKbgajyg
“I’m sorry please continue”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BM4SuJfBh
He nods okay
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIraKsKtg9H
“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”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8AD5MIS0g
I have to tell him now
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuihulyrvfb
“Ryder I need to tell you something”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zk4B6aUJm
I take a deep breath in and out
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwR8NQLlmC
“I’m-“
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTnqYyNQ5N
“ENGAGED YESSS”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKEvI4sAYo
The woman comes back out interrupting me and flings herself to Ryder. Merriam’s face screams don’t tell
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqHqgHbFR6
“Me and Ryder are happily engaged so I’m happy and hopeful of our marvelous future”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KdBlnR2X8
FUCK
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDd2IxaFZd
I rush to the sink and throw up. Merriam rushes to my side
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HSWVrjjLQ
“What the fuck”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO53DGUtMYD
The lady walks to me and turns on the sink
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQsJS16mkw
“My gosh a better response then puking to my engagement would’ve been way better”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7aifrNG85
“I’m sorry”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrkY7uNDwsr
I wipe my mouth with a napkin and Ryder looks at me
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4Ef9VNMIL
“Upset stomach”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjokOz3EcPA
“For how long”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrmz6cecsa
Ryder stands up and stands near the woman. His eyes dim as he glares at me
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsf8ZAnpu2
“Since yesterday. I have been eating soup”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuWFJkqf3l
“Eat more. Merriam make us all a nice soup”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEf5cPvWPL
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30J2Tqc0K9
“So I was planning of a beach wedding”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHGwgzVtCx
The lady shoves a magazine in front of me and points to the wedding a latest celebrity had.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqK8aCvpJJ
“Looks nice”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPew9nb9dp

258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2LAx6MaML

258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6ZtDq5sTy
“Psst”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZiV91HoIV
Merriam hands me soup and whispers in my ear
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREF2VrCfqE
“He looks like he’s encountered papa legba”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj95ENs4za
I quickly look at Ryder and see his regular unfazed face
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9ssvsy3pX
“I doubt that Merriam. Stop being paranoid”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6tsfd7SqD
“What, can’t I as a proud Haitian woman tell you when I know a person has encountered an Iwa”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIaIbyYQ21
We both look at him then look away
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrUTb4r4Ao
“Merriam keep your conspiracy theories on the low for now”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpng8ufVQYl
She shakes her head okay and eats her soup
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8sR2cQSt6
“By the way what did you have to tell me Sam”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgcNxEeZ0a
I swallow my soup down hard as Ryder focuses on me
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKuWUBEbLcj
“Nothing really”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7fjtEZgnF
“Alright then”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSS0KuKTBjV
He stands up and offers the woman a hand up
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7e5RIRwTV
“Although she introduced herself to you guys she hasn’t said her name. Maids meet Natasha. She’s my fiancé”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSX2OEpIYV
We wave hi and Natasha waves back eagerly
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYD5BOLNiJp
“Hi maids I’m so happy to be here”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa4IxStn3V
They walk to the window to chat and I massage my temples
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TEdhd8ZgE
“Of all the fishes in the sea he choose a chatty one”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCMN3X3Iuf
Merriam sits next to me and hands me another bowl of soup
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oItvFjl5P
“At least he looks content”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12zplNw6a7
My phone rings in my pocket and I smile as I see James
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkXhPb2jZN
“James”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55Ecji1znV
“Sam”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡInPPGLkZX0

258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG38sNcE06l
“James you haven’t spoken to me in a while. what the hell”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdkdlNr5wP
“I know”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiMpOTRfJ4
“NO YOU DONT KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRMdOewEXE
I control my anger and feel my sadness start set in
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWK5p2j970
“I’m sorry Sam I really am-“
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVPCjeIYYt
“No your not”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL53DBa0abb
I sob on the phone and sit down
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvj9tnnTW1
“Sam I wanted to tell you that I’m back in town”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldOZ9mK2fy
“Really”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLBSAeoGkWE
Like a dog my ears perk as happiness floods in
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqs5lZ6rKb
“Woah talk about a change in moods”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7B0bDTGHN
I smile embarrassingly. Must be the pregnancy hormones
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpl036UD5aI
“I’m sorry”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0cVTxEa5rp
“It’s alright. I know every Friday you leave early so when you do please change and meet me “
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRfI1ssmFq

258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHPji4uCfP

258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN60qNLGqum

258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaezE2NC1fa
“You got my word. So how about tomorrow”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaTNokzci1
I smile
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKgXniL3WI
“Yeah”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDrq7guIpJ
“Alright I think you have to get going so bye”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HWsiJffkd
“Bye James”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZosjvnuv8
I hang up and walk inside the apartment to see Merriam and Natasha arguing
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvcsw7qlYl
“MARBLE WILL MAKE YOU LOOK UGLY CHOOSE BLACK”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55jSQe8kOc
“BLACK WONT GO WELL WITH MY LIMITED EDITION GUCCI CULTURE”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDptBStj32x
“THEN EAT OUT THEN”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBj7zcgnCb
“FINE”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGmo4V13T8
I slowly close the door behind me and Merriam spots me
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMIbtlJx9D
“SAM”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu7bARh4Zc
She storms at me and holds grips my shoulder
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BVBItoI10
“Does marble go with Gucci culture or the MARVELOUS BLACK”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEr1KaMlqoQ
I can see Natasha follow too and she pushes Merriam aside to speak to me
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ukDT4gYyQ
“NO MAID. I think Gucci culture goes well with the MARVELOUS MARBLE”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFccDxHjL3
They stare each other down but my mind is focused on the bathroom. If I get there quick I might be able to pee
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8OLIZb0f0
“We’ll make what is it”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBf2kmjOjS
I look back at Natasha
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmB8LCUPOi
“I think you should eat out”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXHvmi3NEc
“TOLD YA”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzU17JzFA8t
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
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BD7nXoXF6
“Trying to escape the arguing”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55Bm0KBejD
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
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LXu06hFGe
“Not really I just need to do my job”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59RUgaFkuN
I scrub all around the doorknob and bell
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9z9mgdgfo
“Your a weird one”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILbgOzjPJK
Ryder grabs the rag from my hand
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5qSXN7ySMS
“Now let’s have a real conversation about what happened a month and a half ago”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQydHGcUcdU
Petrified I grab the rag back and turn away from him
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJDVCsFdBq
“There’s no need”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡID5jTZq2Y7
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTflkstWC7
“Why not, it is the reason why your resigning”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRkzZlWHBa
I place the rag down
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJphZ6Eutj
“Fine”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivNoK3Bi1o
We sit on the windowsill and observe the bustling street life from above
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7TuER5BJq
“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”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWer5SQIjm
I steer clear from Ryders eyes as I glance at the tall skyscrapers reflecting the suns light
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzYdxEDFyu
“So did you mean what you told me when you told me to admit that I hated my life”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡis4TX04iSs
I sheepishly look away as I feel my face flush
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOYhL7rPiG
“Yes. When your drunk don’t you always speak the truth”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzziHY4gU7R
Ryder looks onward at me and shrugs
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwGzu1LlJv
“That is for me to know and you to never find out”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdaok3Ii4E
I stand up and stroll towards the bucket and squat
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAJv8l3tVm
“Well mister Ryder I must clean the door. Please don’t think I’m cutting our conversation short”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3dRXs7qRl
Ryder sits up and walks towards the elevator
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGkd4AVrD1
“No need for proper talk Sam I know that doesn’t suit you well”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1gwbojPkT
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
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShDMUSTErc
“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”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiSXgDFDG9
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
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtdeboyq9x
“Alright chubs no barking alright”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh78Ryk3Nht
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsBvCBqHnU
“Alright so I’m 7 weeks along”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizQmuFzkT3
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
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAs4MJevyi
“For you”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcgnh1aijP
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfEGemeXcb
For you from Me
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyL9WjdOcee
I smile to myself and shake the bag, when I do a book falls out
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMNSM07oBu
“Hmm”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNOeBYXkGW
I grab the book and read the title
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRp65xL1Uy
Evergreens love galore
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9NfPUB7mEL
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6nb3xNCSt
“What a cornball”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lgd0eJy0C
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
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BCF4b1UU4
“Of course he chose this dress look how tight it looks”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0GzN10hkP
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2GMkC3Oee
“RYDER RYDER”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GZbWpopO9
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
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0b2L4gDPyE
“SAM”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyAAOlySnd
She runs to me and then stops.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4j5YGTZt9O
“You didn’t go inside yet”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnajYEBjBp
She shakes her head no and takes a deep breath in and out
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVPKOnjtFD
“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”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XJlQaHiMr
We walk into the restaurant and the bouncer stops us
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVLNLjGhCD
“Who’s your connection”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nIaK3uvds
“Ryder”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbfvVnU68h
The bouncer checks the list
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFLmz3lIDM
“Names”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChPEcXU77i
“Sam and Merriam”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwgpaGAj7e9
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxD9yVHsA6
“Look nice maids”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdD9vzBfjQo
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
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡot2EgXttDO
“Sit ladies”
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrT6OE8Auo
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.
258Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3WbcLa99f

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
