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.

204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL6GVPHaHi
“This month has been peaceful with bang boy away”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawqMudwMWq
She falls onto the couch and smiles
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8ETfEZaSC
“So comfy”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwcfr8zTbW
“Glad you like it”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYHlW9EqHv
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
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxG6q2lYPP
“Huh that’s weird”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkoXtEtbw0b
Merriam hands me some pads and I take it
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ741HGk3KkW
“What”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhffQwBjEOD
“Well my period is late”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA1oL7yZpr
She looks at me and my heart drops
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkM1IA7cGe
“It’s late”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SkjFQeOBg
I repeat this over and over again before letting out a screeching scream
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgxn613Eir
“NO”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6L6wv1DEf
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
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVQdK5UjWM
“I can’t Merriam I can’t be pregnant”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0QZbAOUli
She walks into the bathroom and picks up the stick
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkEryKJGLy
“I-“
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5yIkXunjFu
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
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCrL88WiXH
Pregnant
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI1x66l3Eb
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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvij3XpIvp
“I doubt Ryder knows who papa legba is Merriam”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFAHrPYOkx
She stirs the soup
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tkjzl5fxP
“You don’t know it’s hollywood after all. Now drink so you can get this baby out”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuqvHFKZgq
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
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsRmCvsGIT
“GIRL HES COMING”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjgiwCPDDo
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
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3X1uqd0w4f
“Hayyy maidsss”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZxVzqYERU
A woman enters and it’s the same one he left with on tour. She smiles and gets closer to us
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGt9P31dO7D
“Ladies we will be having a party today”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkWZpz7Pex
She rambles on and on but pregnancy brain is making me forget all of what she was saying
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGKESRE2Xu
“Huh”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkJhR1M9wB
Merriam laughs out loud and the lady looks dumbfounded
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8ziIjnWEB
“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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmGoyT5hlc
“Get these washed”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJDuzFHEEg

204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G3TwjwI8l
“Make me a smoothie”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uCfpAMGPd
I nod okay and walk to the make him the regular. I hand it to him and go to walk away
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMrt1Bz5e9
“Stay we need to talk about your resignation”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGffUo1mmqq
I walk back
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuirMZVW8Q
“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”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM0fINZbZY
I nod alright. Shit I have to pee
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1FIiivcN1
“I have to pee now”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXhufpLeIA
I rush to the bathroom and pee then come back out and see him still sitting.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRimB417NPc
“I’m sorry please continue”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAH0MYeGQcP
He nods okay
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX1L13LqWN
“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”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQl6b81hLY
I have to tell him now
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKEBcin77B
“Ryder I need to tell you something”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtkz60Ht8J
I take a deep breath in and out
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e9bMzqoNR
“I’m-“
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xeNs24kzf
“ENGAGED YESSS”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzX011ENaw
The woman comes back out interrupting me and flings herself to Ryder. Merriam’s face screams don’t tell
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Yi3rAkzrD
“Me and Ryder are happily engaged so I’m happy and hopeful of our marvelous future”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICWQumI4Rd
FUCK
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4X0PZLKI5
I rush to the sink and throw up. Merriam rushes to my side
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiklR4MvWD
“What the fuck”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP7iLj1zi1
The lady walks to me and turns on the sink
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaQvt6eUUr
“My gosh a better response then puking to my engagement would’ve been way better”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBNLsCwuKQ
“I’m sorry”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKn79ggAK7c
I wipe my mouth with a napkin and Ryder looks at me
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwG066BSHO
“Upset stomach”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ0GRalp9e
“For how long”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUokm3sZTVT
Ryder stands up and stands near the woman. His eyes dim as he glares at me
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZeknmIH3a
“Since yesterday. I have been eating soup”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrFnUdMHpL
“Eat more. Merriam make us all a nice soup”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA4uvGWjxa
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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPA1Wi85KT
“So I was planning of a beach wedding”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohizAgFMAg
The lady shoves a magazine in front of me and points to the wedding a latest celebrity had.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEz6Z6tKSR
“Looks nice”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2hYs7uaR4

204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMsUvt5TRf
“He looks like he’s encountered papa legba”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCxmeIaYbq
I quickly look at Ryder and see his regular unfazed face
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabcwFLFMDq
“I doubt that Merriam. Stop being paranoid”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHvcSDnHdx
“What, can’t I as a proud Haitian woman tell you when I know a person has encountered an Iwa”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJyCryVGLZ
We both look at him then look away
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvRpEv4PB7
“Merriam keep your conspiracy theories on the low for now”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZWj1cpQjh
She shakes her head okay and eats her soup
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4zPY7oVF4
“By the way what did you have to tell me Sam”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtbDdq2Xsi
I swallow my soup down hard as Ryder focuses on me
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jx1PiW2wA
“Nothing really”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDO9jcsCDL
“Alright then”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9SMWgPCub
He stands up and offers the woman a hand up
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGDmftJUGg
“Although she introduced herself to you guys she hasn’t said her name. Maids meet Natasha. She’s my fiancé”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhqKlFUfGW
We wave hi and Natasha waves back eagerly
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQQIFEgkqa
“Hi maids I’m so happy to be here”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7fKSYlSKT
They walk to the window to chat and I massage my temples
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX2qDUnz2b
“Of all the fishes in the sea he choose a chatty one”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbiDGqJTdP
Merriam sits next to me and hands me another bowl of soup
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUe4UogHE7t
“At least he looks content”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIHUrDrR5M
My phone rings in my pocket and I smile as I see James
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRMhKVSG9C
“James”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwP3X64Y1S

204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0JHxdLNBRj

204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oVNRFKgMl

204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOOf9qtDDK
“NO YOU DONT KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOF3bcLLbxH
I control my anger and feel my sadness start set in
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcikOPhpIZI
“I’m sorry Sam I really am-“
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0AbmgxPmS
“No your not”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg0pLpOex1
I sob on the phone and sit down
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUa0gRIuIt3
“Sam I wanted to tell you that I’m back in town”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE4JUUtwaK
“Really”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DY1xZCSf4
Like a dog my ears perk as happiness floods in
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9sYgmjV3G
“Woah talk about a change in moods”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpynyN7A6C
I smile embarrassingly. Must be the pregnancy hormones
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC83OE3N2ws
“I’m sorry”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDxeOkvpkZ
“It’s alright. I know every Friday you leave early so when you do please change and meet me “

204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJDm0TjJJC
“Alright I think you have to get going so bye”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloweRAjFhi

204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HYz3fAP6d
I hang up and walk inside the apartment to see Merriam and Natasha arguing
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobFbZtbB42
“MARBLE WILL MAKE YOU LOOK UGLY CHOOSE BLACK”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcM4n3Ngu1
“BLACK WONT GO WELL WITH MY LIMITED EDITION GUCCI CULTURE”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThjXsYji1H
“THEN EAT OUT THEN”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7rOsYxI4v
“FINE”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzKRnanDJh
I slowly close the door behind me and Merriam spots me
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUBgQgFTB4
“SAM”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseXeTx1A2W
She storms at me and holds grips my shoulder
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKA27pR2pIk
“Does marble go with Gucci culture or the MARVELOUS BLACK”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7ZaEWhZBM
I can see Natasha follow too and she pushes Merriam aside to speak to me
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29pm4x2OUt
“NO MAID. I think Gucci culture goes well with the MARVELOUS MARBLE”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHAzO7f5rR
They stare each other down but my mind is focused on the bathroom. If I get there quick I might be able to pee
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNElBOsE2P4
“We’ll make what is it”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxgQ8uio8N
I look back at Natasha
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEh65fORKt8
“I think you should eat out”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTBnwrK12V
“TOLD YA”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR4GXKago6
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
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFOMq7pi4Y
“Trying to escape the arguing”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4ryEYD6tg
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
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaz97HvRzY
“Not really I just need to do my job”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtuZgvKPdxD
I scrub all around the doorknob and bell
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d3IaPhDb9
“Your a weird one”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7r18QI6mO
Ryder grabs the rag from my hand
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xk2cIMbwH
“Now let’s have a real conversation about what happened a month and a half ago”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHMCiebM89
Petrified I grab the rag back and turn away from him
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS41EgkB84C
“There’s no need”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9zZ1sHU7v
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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCTKRuwyGe
“Why not, it is the reason why your resigning”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5x10C1BrQ
I place the rag down
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCISaJDEXtX
“Fine”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT36xuorwp
We sit on the windowsill and observe the bustling street life from above
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg4QGhTzCK
“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”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUC8mYzgYm
I steer clear from Ryders eyes as I glance at the tall skyscrapers reflecting the suns light
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIpbkA4zQB
“So did you mean what you told me when you told me to admit that I hated my life”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xfQTZexDa
I sheepishly look away as I feel my face flush
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nidob94Gn
“Yes. When your drunk don’t you always speak the truth”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfelh9gx15S
Ryder looks onward at me and shrugs
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgnxLTwi8OT
“That is for me to know and you to never find out”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBrV4IAnFT
I stand up and stroll towards the bucket and squat
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e0P8pTpp4
“Well mister Ryder I must clean the door. Please don’t think I’m cutting our conversation short”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6h94J4qkf
Ryder sits up and walks towards the elevator
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKwOw9QStu
“No need for proper talk Sam I know that doesn’t suit you well”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcrLB2B3SO
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
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLqYnu7wxp
“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”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWd67YwKko
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
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUbn16vf8m
“Alright chubs no barking alright”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNXURVLlv0
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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmrtu84VcA
“Alright so I’m 7 weeks along”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHIIKvDqIb
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
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1Iq4zirrp
“For you”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4PXrC0w7F
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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeu6A7Ujc7
For you from Me
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidns29cmGX
I smile to myself and shake the bag, when I do a book falls out
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjShlUMUiA
“Hmm”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqi4TlgI4XN
I grab the book and read the title
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGRdv5wWeZ
Evergreens love galore
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PzrEB59MK
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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUG9MoedOe
“What a cornball”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUtxwRR52Q
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
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1ep5XLKB4
“Of course he chose this dress look how tight it looks”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUflH7ACPiW
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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZu7NvoH7N
“RYDER RYDER”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD74DSnUtKS
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
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh4BXSJBbJ
“SAM”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF8F1zjvVX
She runs to me and then stops.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfH9MEjaSZo
“You didn’t go inside yet”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cPtD3j3cV
She shakes her head no and takes a deep breath in and out
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8YN4uks3J
“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”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdAFYy0Iif1
We walk into the restaurant and the bouncer stops us
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitqHSvh7SH
“Who’s your connection”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLTsfrwLSD
“Ryder”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB1EnpMxw4

204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X52gtHELy
“Names”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4AowA9ZyT
“Sam and Merriam”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZX8NTit53e
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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hLZtO0jX3
“Look nice maids”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxZJDx025g
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
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGt7IqjOIB
“Sit ladies”
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNQnGI1GjR
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.
204Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8KjVaiD1Q
