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.

231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGetJkjHkpV
“This month has been peaceful with bang boy away”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1PL0HQcVM
She falls onto the couch and smiles
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a662UUmtf
“So comfy”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbqbErfMdGc
“Glad you like it”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXpZjNHwL1
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
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDkATQcrHC
“Huh that’s weird”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO8GHpaB1u
Merriam hands me some pads and I take it
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5G8bTzv9H
“What”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfQGLH9Mfp
“Well my period is late”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2gHNRJLrX
She looks at me and my heart drops
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuShUtSoFyF
“It’s late”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzB7TGLUkQ
I repeat this over and over again before letting out a screeching scream
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwoykzg2WE
“NO”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wugF6usJu
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
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7jiJDtYTw
“I can’t Merriam I can’t be pregnant”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVrN280rXj
She walks into the bathroom and picks up the stick
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfvwNxMuLm
“I-“
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg145yBiGCZ
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
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2sZP5IJcg
Pregnant
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fE2LeQmd5
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9U9QtRXMnN
“I doubt Ryder knows who papa legba is Merriam”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdnnI6wH3B
She stirs the soup
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0bE23VmZI
“You don’t know it’s hollywood after all. Now drink so you can get this baby out”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOL5RulWaM
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
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFfz0I0p9M
“GIRL HES COMING”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhSHD6oW3V
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
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhtutpYqaY
“Hayyy maidsss”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VYuY8HPWY
A woman enters and it’s the same one he left with on tour. She smiles and gets closer to us
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU2dDisfM8
“Ladies we will be having a party today”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kmaBOjfxQ
She rambles on and on but pregnancy brain is making me forget all of what she was saying
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kLZHRxwnw
“Huh”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlxhfVyHag
Merriam laughs out loud and the lady looks dumbfounded
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqDM9DyKIe
“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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmDVmj0o5y
“Get these washed”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tvC0ZYwz8
Merriam nods yes and drags his luggage away. We exchange a look then I turn away
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlzMBQRemK
“Make me a smoothie”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBFU6ZI73u
I nod okay and walk to the make him the regular. I hand it to him and go to walk away
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpVEcaSjEt
“Stay we need to talk about your resignation”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1IJIPgtyO
I walk back
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpL2iws3Ey
“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”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEcN9JjI0o
I nod alright. Shit I have to pee
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7AHd05zUp
“I have to pee now”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGraFJU4T2
I rush to the bathroom and pee then come back out and see him still sitting.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hwecV2Hcy
“I’m sorry please continue”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjItugRz8h
He nods okay
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5ZW6eyU75
“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”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvUdX61b2h
I have to tell him now
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0L87p246l

231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFcB0n8FgO
I take a deep breath in and out

“I’m-“
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtsiQt6GAK
“ENGAGED YESSS”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6JyZHgTxK
The woman comes back out interrupting me and flings herself to Ryder. Merriam’s face screams don’t tell
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CphUIEGsc
“Me and Ryder are happily engaged so I’m happy and hopeful of our marvelous future”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17qgpfT5he
FUCK
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUyES26fEW
I rush to the sink and throw up. Merriam rushes to my side
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN40OWQsXSK
“What the fuck”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f2Srb7XQU
The lady walks to me and turns on the sink
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NoJkVwiVn
“My gosh a better response then puking to my engagement would’ve been way better”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhUxxEjIhE
“I’m sorry”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0R1Du5svT
I wipe my mouth with a napkin and Ryder looks at me
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVwhgbcNba
“Upset stomach”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN69W2Nu7LF
“For how long”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoFb1fLSHt
Ryder stands up and stands near the woman. His eyes dim as he glares at me
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSERD3Aes9
“Since yesterday. I have been eating soup”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsreogrqYo
“Eat more. Merriam make us all a nice soup”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8Um4p1XrI
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPS0ZaEOXP
“So I was planning of a beach wedding”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXo6VJNqij
The lady shoves a magazine in front of me and points to the wedding a latest celebrity had.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gKQpegMdh
“Looks nice”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyNlnyR3Ta
She smiles and shows me her ring
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXwUNXHCeS

231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DXK7wku7s
“Psst”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dRLtNtmjW
Merriam hands me soup and whispers in my ear
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVrqwF5P8w
“He looks like he’s encountered papa legba”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn56rQbSmWL
I quickly look at Ryder and see his regular unfazed face
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNQCnflU5M
“I doubt that Merriam. Stop being paranoid”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLyJopc07f
“What, can’t I as a proud Haitian woman tell you when I know a person has encountered an Iwa”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH2kNGeCri
We both look at him then look away
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3QJFdTZ2g
“Merriam keep your conspiracy theories on the low for now”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgL9ShPCRW
She shakes her head okay and eats her soup
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7oURn5fyq
“By the way what did you have to tell me Sam”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98OWj4Glkw
I swallow my soup down hard as Ryder focuses on me
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHI9HriMC4
“Nothing really”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcOlnihZUv
“Alright then”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkz5yqM3hI
He stands up and offers the woman a hand up
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszssUdYVoi
“Although she introduced herself to you guys she hasn’t said her name. Maids meet Natasha. She’s my fiancé”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5JANO5G0c
We wave hi and Natasha waves back eagerly
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJMxEwEv41
“Hi maids I’m so happy to be here”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgLO1jsNHp
They walk to the window to chat and I massage my temples
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMAbQNztxO
“Of all the fishes in the sea he choose a chatty one”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYxfzExTy8
Merriam sits next to me and hands me another bowl of soup
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2SSWl1QOL
“At least he looks content”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzqvHTaChm
My phone rings in my pocket and I smile as I see James
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA5EPI9Yi9
“James”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgK32p3LXvq
“Sam”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaKVP1bTBV

231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTScQvrrzjk
“James you haven’t spoken to me in a while. what the hell”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLzEDIsknV
“I know”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvac4p8jQEG
“NO YOU DONT KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QTnq5YrRG
I control my anger and feel my sadness start set in
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxWmSb7Obs
“I’m sorry Sam I really am-“
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBxDKG1CK6p
“No your not”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSETZ6VsFxM
I sob on the phone and sit down
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRx5C54t88
“Sam I wanted to tell you that I’m back in town”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8MggYjejU
“Really”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdPKfrqwDl
Like a dog my ears perk as happiness floods in
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMTWMwtaqv
“Woah talk about a change in moods”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9gVXnsrmM
I smile embarrassingly. Must be the pregnancy hormones
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHc1Ort3oi
“I’m sorry”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwGTvQq3Re
“It’s alright. I know every Friday you leave early so when you do please change and meet me “
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOlgj4sX42

231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqK05eJzNl

231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xzRhfaLTw

231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGViNO6gNC
“You got my word. So how about tomorrow”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZoU7fGzBi
I smile
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcoBiLJZe1
“Yeah”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd2j81PFZz
“Alright I think you have to get going so bye”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOBAAAh13x
“Bye James”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0Lq1UW1d2
I hang up and walk inside the apartment to see Merriam and Natasha arguing
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlQ862GMmX
“MARBLE WILL MAKE YOU LOOK UGLY CHOOSE BLACK”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIV45cAmeF
“BLACK WONT GO WELL WITH MY LIMITED EDITION GUCCI CULTURE”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK660DEBnm
“THEN EAT OUT THEN”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijsl6pszay
“FINE”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfsGQtjobql
I slowly close the door behind me and Merriam spots me
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTztFnA4IP
“SAM”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05CCvN0m9E
She storms at me and holds grips my shoulder
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnbvPqEWxR
“Does marble go with Gucci culture or the MARVELOUS BLACK”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeBQNeDeEU
I can see Natasha follow too and she pushes Merriam aside to speak to me
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94NwL2NBur
“NO MAID. I think Gucci culture goes well with the MARVELOUS MARBLE”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQaIZVoLRA
They stare each other down but my mind is focused on the bathroom. If I get there quick I might be able to pee
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfESEBKdvF
“We’ll make what is it”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MgJWfVary
I look back at Natasha
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn3D89tTcZ
“I think you should eat out”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2lA8aOaNP
“TOLD YA”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt4RK6jYok
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
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhenXRYGXDg
“Trying to escape the arguing”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2dHctIxCj
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
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvKQpvGNJk
“Not really I just need to do my job”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZF1hV6T3gl
I scrub all around the doorknob and bell
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILRUbyqUrt
“Your a weird one”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFIuSLa4j9
Ryder grabs the rag from my hand
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL3G0tkZdy
“Now let’s have a real conversation about what happened a month and a half ago”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIMwAU4p2p
Petrified I grab the rag back and turn away from him
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZrW5oQvz5
“There’s no need”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fUgVRRGn8
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBJ6ejbRC2
“Why not, it is the reason why your resigning”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREy0OEispp
I place the rag down
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mdgX1yytN
“Fine”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUBtK9Fyvf
We sit on the windowsill and observe the bustling street life from above
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzfWXXxD5V
“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”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNdK5K5Y3A
I steer clear from Ryders eyes as I glance at the tall skyscrapers reflecting the suns light
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UDwD97mTb
“So did you mean what you told me when you told me to admit that I hated my life”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasmzpXO5Pf
I sheepishly look away as I feel my face flush
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCD3QzR5se
“Yes. When your drunk don’t you always speak the truth”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDUnGO6NqV
Ryder looks onward at me and shrugs
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgsZnDLLne
“That is for me to know and you to never find out”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyd5KPSvecg
I stand up and stroll towards the bucket and squat
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg2F3403TL
“Well mister Ryder I must clean the door. Please don’t think I’m cutting our conversation short”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJagEY0ZRq
Ryder sits up and walks towards the elevator
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbbbGxnJq1
“No need for proper talk Sam I know that doesn’t suit you well”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb936V86bf
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
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRfE6gL3pJ
“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”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlNBzWBZtq
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
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibaDISw3Rv
“Alright chubs no barking alright”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36ynOFDeYs
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTy7p9PFZqF
“Alright so I’m 7 weeks along”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpzduXT54h
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
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3w6GNfB4U
“For you”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHvf0yNMj6
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKLYDNWSAX
For you from Me
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtchjPYwVS8
I smile to myself and shake the bag, when I do a book falls out
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyWMTxcjvS
“Hmm”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRlgSG3qaq
I grab the book and read the title
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKplYVhDqQq
Evergreens love galore
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMm3OhsXJrC
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CHJvCzF3s
“What a cornball”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak1pq0WRNE
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
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR6kXYZczh
“Of course he chose this dress look how tight it looks”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqsyyaTdae
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiHO6x5z4f
“RYDER RYDER”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBdc64QQs1
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
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslOhMbf9PF
“SAM”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73JB7W9qns
She runs to me and then stops.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtRU4pl6ii
“You didn’t go inside yet”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDv8arh5RC
She shakes her head no and takes a deep breath in and out
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLx1PA34rdb
“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”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LoBuagZbv
We walk into the restaurant and the bouncer stops us
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CjCEGJiB9
“Who’s your connection”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX2ZXEUJOK
“Ryder”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwf52SMURN
The bouncer checks the list
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIjKcEaRXH
“Names”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2NtcpZDA2
“Sam and Merriam”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdBbNQRNON
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ721CgYj4To
“Look nice maids”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5fCJwDQAK
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
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdD6f0EoQt
“Sit ladies”
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXNDMVhjjN
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.
231Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SzfWrttp7
