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.

She grabs my arms tries to get me to jump but I decline and continue cleaning
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNOLZi6qV1
“This month has been peaceful with bang boy away”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2VZZk32Fd
She falls onto the couch and smiles
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoWdWrdjnL
“So comfy”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5exCBmZ1eL
“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
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotP0Y4h9qb
“Huh that’s weird”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgQ7hePsww
Merriam hands me some pads and I take it
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1msUu5cWj
“What”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rGeT3juvC
“Well my period is late”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygYa23aC9K
She looks at me and my heart drops
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikZ4AnGoaC
“It’s late”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5jzza4giA
I repeat this over and over again before letting out a screeching scream
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqoLCqNKxc
“NO”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrbalfycYy
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
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtXOQBz5aG
“I can’t Merriam I can’t be pregnant”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5xLUGpVEC
She walks into the bathroom and picks up the stick
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkCDBLrVvC
“I-“
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHG5Qwzjkm
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
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEwiWQglJD
Pregnant
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZVFcbPTll
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.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzAzAiSRPL
“I doubt Ryder knows who papa legba is Merriam”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLULnj1UFiI
She stirs the soup
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPF9SiQXK4o
“You don’t know it’s hollywood after all. Now drink so you can get this baby out”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7qDLYlfc0
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
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgSHHfksz5
“GIRL HES COMING”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEYq15denh
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
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFgEv61jVy
“Hayyy maidsss”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrXvFg8ThZ
A woman enters and it’s the same one he left with on tour. She smiles and gets closer to us
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3J1RZxUG4u
“Ladies we will be having a party today”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAbILiQShv
She rambles on and on but pregnancy brain is making me forget all of what she was saying
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CNEGKGGox
“Huh”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmgZSr8y0F
Merriam laughs out loud and the lady looks dumbfounded
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDc8WS2zyUe
“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.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoiGWKcr1z
“Get these washed”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLB9EVYiC8j
Merriam nods yes and drags his luggage away. We exchange a look then I turn away
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcPCXN6HaZ
“Make me a smoothie”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKHC1XSO2j
I nod okay and walk to the make him the regular. I hand it to him and go to walk away
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9i58vuvpp
“Stay we need to talk about your resignation”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUSMgPQoKU
I walk back
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f9LOUWWtb
“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”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1oaxcPxip
I nod alright. Shit I have to pee
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQX7WEpdtEX
“I have to pee now”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4XxGiZv0H
I rush to the bathroom and pee then come back out and see him still sitting.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXoKObebYr
“I’m sorry please continue”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡap8BTBnm2l
He nods okay
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDlm3yaIEa
“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”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlEbcTRtmf
I have to tell him now
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevFphPrKIV
“Ryder I need to tell you something”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDCbNv2nj4
I take a deep breath in and out
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnedAGYLF3N
“I’m-“
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZwEDUU265
“ENGAGED YESSS”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurBynV6s8J
The woman comes back out interrupting me and flings herself to Ryder. Merriam’s face screams don’t tell
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43RM54lZgF
“Me and Ryder are happily engaged so I’m happy and hopeful of our marvelous future”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmnis1YVFjb
FUCK
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEm3GHL7eYq
I rush to the sink and throw up. Merriam rushes to my side
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQlrIJ12KD
“What the fuck”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1yhOYakPM
The lady walks to me and turns on the sink
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0Vpa77HBs
“My gosh a better response then puking to my engagement would’ve been way better”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h4B5dTEsV
“I’m sorry”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Azw1nrssr
I wipe my mouth with a napkin and Ryder looks at me
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV9LVe7Eoe
“Upset stomach”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvped2e5Gs
“For how long”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoVwExy6Sz
Ryder stands up and stands near the woman. His eyes dim as he glares at me
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZjgGX952Q
“Since yesterday. I have been eating soup”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmZost8KeN
“Eat more. Merriam make us all a nice soup”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVvEOni52r
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.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVpNXrQeId
“So I was planning of a beach wedding”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5p8B4UofM
The lady shoves a magazine in front of me and points to the wedding a latest celebrity had.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVlFvhQDaV
“Looks nice”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSpJSUqdK0

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMqXUoPvG2

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTRUEG9I4I
“Psst”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd91hIP1hOm
Merriam hands me soup and whispers in my ear
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsGGDHWVMa
“He looks like he’s encountered papa legba”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tztoaDRbl
I quickly look at Ryder and see his regular unfazed face
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0y05A95bjG
“I doubt that Merriam. Stop being paranoid”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ0Zf0JpUM
“What, can’t I as a proud Haitian woman tell you when I know a person has encountered an Iwa”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pvVPm9IRo
We both look at him then look away
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWDLFaGgHv
“Merriam keep your conspiracy theories on the low for now”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajsaGK5c8s
She shakes her head okay and eats her soup
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKTQvB97Gm
“By the way what did you have to tell me Sam”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGcCqkzUq5
I swallow my soup down hard as Ryder focuses on me
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MnPt2DZPr
“Nothing really”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBiHs7sVle
“Alright then”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ichplG9ls
He stands up and offers the woman a hand up
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl5Wu4RMHj
“Although she introduced herself to you guys she hasn’t said her name. Maids meet Natasha. She’s my fiancé”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQoGlIjlbV
We wave hi and Natasha waves back eagerly
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQX6qvLMTn
“Hi maids I’m so happy to be here”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGTX4J8uP0
They walk to the window to chat and I massage my temples
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQelANCbv4n
“Of all the fishes in the sea he choose a chatty one”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kUNixRMrR
Merriam sits next to me and hands me another bowl of soup
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdgDvKjak0
“At least he looks content”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlhpVRAsY6
My phone rings in my pocket and I smile as I see James
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsKeFLOYdu
“James”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8yFLSxUww
“Sam”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7mj68O6IO

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3r6lg1PlU

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBlFTEs7t6
“NO YOU DONT KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4z1xZM6qNc
I control my anger and feel my sadness start set in
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcmQdR9ap1
“I’m sorry Sam I really am-“
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3WofSHAhX
“No your not”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJw9kez2u4C
I sob on the phone and sit down
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8Oj7hN3pH
“Sam I wanted to tell you that I’m back in town”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2UeCtkaXB
“Really”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHPsFefuuP
Like a dog my ears perk as happiness floods in
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqRqzbf5qQ
“Woah talk about a change in moods”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCkO0vnCUL
I smile embarrassingly. Must be the pregnancy hormones
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DZpim1Ftx
“I’m sorry”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6L1gHYku6
“It’s alright. I know every Friday you leave early so when you do please change and meet me “
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcbZkETa81

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJIPpR2j95

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUsDUmleXI
“You got my word. So how about tomorrow”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Bo5xoPAU3
I smile
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RkSxnd522
“Yeah”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6KCB96Pxs
“Alright I think you have to get going so bye”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRkS1ouSqK
“Bye James”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbErIsVdRW
I hang up and walk inside the apartment to see Merriam and Natasha arguing
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYmKMFG50Z
“MARBLE WILL MAKE YOU LOOK UGLY CHOOSE BLACK”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZPNmdJM3x
“BLACK WONT GO WELL WITH MY LIMITED EDITION GUCCI CULTURE”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7aVMiMwpVI
“THEN EAT OUT THEN”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdG46qfnG4l
“FINE”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxXFHLz1EE
I slowly close the door behind me and Merriam spots me
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgoTGIH4Oje
“SAM”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbtuxXzlld
She storms at me and holds grips my shoulder
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKTPiaccvP
“Does marble go with Gucci culture or the MARVELOUS BLACK”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcC6W0wFiPi
I can see Natasha follow too and she pushes Merriam aside to speak to me
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9YN0Cw7R3
“NO MAID. I think Gucci culture goes well with the MARVELOUS MARBLE”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNx1XUTigD
They stare each other down but my mind is focused on the bathroom. If I get there quick I might be able to pee
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9ZWuJTiSE
“We’ll make what is it”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6g3EEe0qk
I look back at Natasha
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6sznWuDAT
“I think you should eat out”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGAoRp8GBV
“TOLD YA”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cLvNwd2af
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
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqswImnvyS
“Trying to escape the arguing”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBnrqO3RjI
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
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmnryNQFmo
“Not really I just need to do my job”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdWprIT5jH
I scrub all around the doorknob and bell
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7UzHAXx7H
“Your a weird one”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKQrGoX9uo
Ryder grabs the rag from my hand
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4AapbdXYw
“Now let’s have a real conversation about what happened a month and a half ago”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjPk3zJA8c
Petrified I grab the rag back and turn away from him
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ487vgiNKWW
“There’s no need”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bamV6i3GS
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.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuPSf5vHwl
“Why not, it is the reason why your resigning”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgJb1lpj7J
I place the rag down
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMsexu7CEG
“Fine”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC6Jbvrgyy
We sit on the windowsill and observe the bustling street life from above
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0ZV6gLDpl
“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”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9dCtZeKHV
I steer clear from Ryders eyes as I glance at the tall skyscrapers reflecting the suns light
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelPHyXRegX
“So did you mean what you told me when you told me to admit that I hated my life”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HwZ4N7EaX
I sheepishly look away as I feel my face flush
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZiifyHySv
“Yes. When your drunk don’t you always speak the truth”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUh68HsSHk
Ryder looks onward at me and shrugs
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwyRDC5iLC
“That is for me to know and you to never find out”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0s9qWSdde
I stand up and stroll towards the bucket and squat
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YXVHftp5C
“Well mister Ryder I must clean the door. Please don’t think I’m cutting our conversation short”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nuxC8Y7oM
Ryder sits up and walks towards the elevator
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbKsOimkNN
“No need for proper talk Sam I know that doesn’t suit you well”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6ga9S28Tb
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
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lKpPvUtYk
“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”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf5V7TnONa
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
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F4fhD6ijc
“Alright chubs no barking alright”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKESlKAssU4
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.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS51hPnDBsO
“Alright so I’m 7 weeks along”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F40b9gexh
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
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7dWuddrVk
“For you”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ77UyTU1l
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.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLbgUkM8iz
For you from Me
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxOgZEniJq
I smile to myself and shake the bag, when I do a book falls out
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlrGR2SbBh
“Hmm”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPv8XuLQZC
I grab the book and read the title
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Z1IacIXVP
Evergreens love galore
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5k2udzi2YG
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.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxEevXEGYt
“What a cornball”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqby5iLZrqU
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
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgf7dwOS66
“Of course he chose this dress look how tight it looks”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQAESmGqNH
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.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwKuCckDU1
“RYDER RYDER”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAoijrVkkl
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
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡni8iYGMoep
“SAM”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCIa3D7JuF
She runs to me and then stops.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2zJs2Px4I
“You didn’t go inside yet”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6sKbzqglR
She shakes her head no and takes a deep breath in and out
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz9wk9xQ9w
“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”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvS9OmhUJL
We walk into the restaurant and the bouncer stops us
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMefvVBlcy3
“Who’s your connection”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD9DoCpCZG
“Ryder”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWSx82XuFm

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mzIv0FzMd
“Names”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4koXQVDHO
“Sam and Merriam”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72OCExtMmV
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.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjon8CNyKM6
“Look nice maids”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAnS0dRfSB
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
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCl6ktr24w
“Sit ladies”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2Lk7ccffY
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.
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xhvGoDwLf

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaZoCZHMG0
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

208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0a6JXZvDx
“I want to thank you once again for coming out”
208Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxi7xGkUcN
