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.

269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kn6zuzWqC
“This month has been peaceful with bang boy away”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfLRmD9YDV
She falls onto the couch and smiles
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGegBZK7ab
“So comfy”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01trk9T3cJ
“Glad you like it”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7Rhixvx5h
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
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGudVvOwzax
“Huh that’s weird”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAikkRbZ380
Merriam hands me some pads and I take it
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkY5BcMKgR
“What”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYeor0KAh3
“Well my period is late”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6OZsJsdUZ
She looks at me and my heart drops
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFzNSKpzKL
“It’s late”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKCnBiHN29
I repeat this over and over again before letting out a screeching scream
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldF4YcK9TO
“NO”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMh4Sxq1dsU
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
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hEhRA6lqg
“I can’t Merriam I can’t be pregnant”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYAXle41NJ
She walks into the bathroom and picks up the stick
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBcHu86LZ9
“I-“
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4hYqKT6pj
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
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDMAvXwJB0k
Pregnant
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHrXk4XXw9
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3viVtRtMe
“I doubt Ryder knows who papa legba is Merriam”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20rZglpwAG
She stirs the soup
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nVDyrmh1k
“You don’t know it’s hollywood after all. Now drink so you can get this baby out”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYR2vV7dlZS
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
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64zF0VbXMG
“GIRL HES COMING”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENGjIO12f4
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
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K93zt7d4Z
“Hayyy maidsss”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcspRBumVc
A woman enters and it’s the same one he left with on tour. She smiles and gets closer to us
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUONWhkN75m
“Ladies we will be having a party today”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzXUfhIFKu
She rambles on and on but pregnancy brain is making me forget all of what she was saying
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqUvP5prJP
“Huh”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkN6Q9cgUz1
Merriam laughs out loud and the lady looks dumbfounded
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoiOx3R1sB
“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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxRVGePaVG
“Get these washed”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA3G71wRYM
Merriam nods yes and drags his luggage away. We exchange a look then I turn away
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSPMEJ7AlV
“Make me a smoothie”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gax2YaJ8c
I nod okay and walk to the make him the regular. I hand it to him and go to walk away
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMDNkLkaIj
“Stay we need to talk about your resignation”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81fLX733In
I walk back
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF2KpEbVM6
“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”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCQcT8Gxkh
I nod alright. Shit I have to pee
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCpO1n1AbG
“I have to pee now”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7ZsBS84zP
I rush to the bathroom and pee then come back out and see him still sitting.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n6tTlx9nX
“I’m sorry please continue”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXagQc3Us2x
He nods okay
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIvtqieMTt
“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”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNtS4pMFaN
I have to tell him now
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZOGg6PEKG
“Ryder I need to tell you something”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq8gixTGmJ
I take a deep breath in and out
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsrcxI6pIT
“I’m-“
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEcQvqmJRT
“ENGAGED YESSS”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLA0IUF2GGy
The woman comes back out interrupting me and flings herself to Ryder. Merriam’s face screams don’t tell
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVudkftpQB
“Me and Ryder are happily engaged so I’m happy and hopeful of our marvelous future”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMp7VwMSH3
FUCK
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMcn5ts0u4Y
I rush to the sink and throw up. Merriam rushes to my side
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvb2hbKqBlQ
“What the fuck”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2RyvnWGVS
The lady walks to me and turns on the sink
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CDRi4sGB2
“My gosh a better response then puking to my engagement would’ve been way better”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0nLKT94Xm
“I’m sorry”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nh44RxmIc
I wipe my mouth with a napkin and Ryder looks at me
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWmOnyrhqo
“Upset stomach”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCkoPpgxlC
“For how long”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLTjZlqIgc
Ryder stands up and stands near the woman. His eyes dim as he glares at me
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4gSjBg8Pcp
“Since yesterday. I have been eating soup”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1Ovj3pkkh
“Eat more. Merriam make us all a nice soup”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRsdbzqiQy
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi598qOxBDJ
“So I was planning of a beach wedding”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfupBwIDq7u
The lady shoves a magazine in front of me and points to the wedding a latest celebrity had.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCRlbBBFHX
“Looks nice”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvnozlcp1O

269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeGr0WJn8l5

269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB0gAtoe9r
“Psst”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU5aSSGV0F
Merriam hands me soup and whispers in my ear
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBwWL0jiSp
“He looks like he’s encountered papa legba”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApNBikbvPm
I quickly look at Ryder and see his regular unfazed face
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OD5cJV5Ez
“I doubt that Merriam. Stop being paranoid”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJExCAIVTt
“What, can’t I as a proud Haitian woman tell you when I know a person has encountered an Iwa”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93hHFFLl7T
We both look at him then look away
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzQZl44ARY
“Merriam keep your conspiracy theories on the low for now”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDc2IzyzLY
She shakes her head okay and eats her soup
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdiOjBeUZb
“By the way what did you have to tell me Sam”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXded2wBNCH
I swallow my soup down hard as Ryder focuses on me
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZdv8KNbMr
“Nothing really”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTCP22P0BS
“Alright then”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4cfsByrXj
He stands up and offers the woman a hand up
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBk0Eigw7Vv
“Although she introduced herself to you guys she hasn’t said her name. Maids meet Natasha. She’s my fiancé”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dqSKCNsCH
We wave hi and Natasha waves back eagerly
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZj7aCeAD5
“Hi maids I’m so happy to be here”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT3tUw7CJy
They walk to the window to chat and I massage my temples
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHxqnJuI2Q
“Of all the fishes in the sea he choose a chatty one”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx6i0yXpOf2
Merriam sits next to me and hands me another bowl of soup
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1lssiuI2Q
“At least he looks content”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNtcaJk9Uk
My phone rings in my pocket and I smile as I see James
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlolYtdVY0
“James”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjorePZZfb1
“Sam”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHcmtuP87F

269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3ycVwMwMM
“James you haven’t spoken to me in a while. what the hell”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfXLlUxQVU
“I know”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmocHiow9eV
“NO YOU DONT KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvxGQy5ikT
I control my anger and feel my sadness start set in
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l1w91pBrF
“I’m sorry Sam I really am-“
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPxWurZJ4K
“No your not”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYNxg98jBW
I sob on the phone and sit down
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7ruSap6ai
“Sam I wanted to tell you that I’m back in town”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5LTz95qtw
“Really”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M8iekJ9K8
Like a dog my ears perk as happiness floods in
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQicYsEVQP
“Woah talk about a change in moods”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOrSLKJHNA
I smile embarrassingly. Must be the pregnancy hormones
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeR3Q3Or0R1
“I’m sorry”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZaFVYrPcX
“It’s alright. I know every Friday you leave early so when you do please change and meet me “
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5d5PXauSa2

269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ByrJBDF4Z
“He has a fiancé”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbLeVDD0N6

269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRhge7wvy4
“You got my word. So how about tomorrow”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2ldGxKNBy
I smile
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyHIS5fWI0
“Yeah”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMj7IrXiWR
“Alright I think you have to get going so bye”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVaxu5EP1h
“Bye James”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vdXeQ6pap
I hang up and walk inside the apartment to see Merriam and Natasha arguing
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wTpFS4wiq
“MARBLE WILL MAKE YOU LOOK UGLY CHOOSE BLACK”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyKuL9Q35N
“BLACK WONT GO WELL WITH MY LIMITED EDITION GUCCI CULTURE”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAIsn96ubO
“THEN EAT OUT THEN”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKymVVhlyJ
“FINE”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQhqMGcO6V
I slowly close the door behind me and Merriam spots me
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9IhTrEay7
“SAM”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc6zd83Ryd
She storms at me and holds grips my shoulder
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkugkzuMr59
“Does marble go with Gucci culture or the MARVELOUS BLACK”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDC8AWDD4h
I can see Natasha follow too and she pushes Merriam aside to speak to me
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj48G8xFDQ
“NO MAID. I think Gucci culture goes well with the MARVELOUS MARBLE”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIb41glMJo
They stare each other down but my mind is focused on the bathroom. If I get there quick I might be able to pee
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxRnQWAps8
“We’ll make what is it”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lg0dLCUSQ
I look back at Natasha
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTM7O8R1sE
“I think you should eat out”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUyXFgXewE
“TOLD YA”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKoAPXqxeJ
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
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zHHqRgeOG
“Trying to escape the arguing”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesKWlDOvDf
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
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9m9v4tRyk
“Not really I just need to do my job”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ixnqk05FN
I scrub all around the doorknob and bell
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lhe14zLbM
“Your a weird one”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUxk6ACoUY
Ryder grabs the rag from my hand
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcbqDAIwJR
“Now let’s have a real conversation about what happened a month and a half ago”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORHrT9N38X
Petrified I grab the rag back and turn away from him
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rIq3sXLrg
“There’s no need”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F3oPksjMC
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKX4HIfdnv
“Why not, it is the reason why your resigning”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡispNBh0iE4
I place the rag down
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uv9PIugyO
“Fine”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGpJ26Reko
We sit on the windowsill and observe the bustling street life from above
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOhhXJElXI
“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”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBXOhDWQ9y
I steer clear from Ryders eyes as I glance at the tall skyscrapers reflecting the suns light
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0U6oIF2rtw
“So did you mean what you told me when you told me to admit that I hated my life”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNFj8oQm3G
I sheepishly look away as I feel my face flush
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctRzvPBtsG
“Yes. When your drunk don’t you always speak the truth”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37Bat3Smdm
Ryder looks onward at me and shrugs
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbudiUdFBSH
“That is for me to know and you to never find out”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3cZskoJ2F
I stand up and stroll towards the bucket and squat
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8sZPKJfkX
“Well mister Ryder I must clean the door. Please don’t think I’m cutting our conversation short”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1hp6eVrxe
Ryder sits up and walks towards the elevator
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76byn49zD2
“No need for proper talk Sam I know that doesn’t suit you well”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekZSND2yWt
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
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwePSZttPP
“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”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaWntJOmSE
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
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9xmqQrt5n
“Alright chubs no barking alright”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZYfXxBaif
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpO6Xnio1fV
“Alright so I’m 7 weeks along”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMkao8baDk
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
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAShU3sdXe
“For you”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPwbR6xPmc
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ40YK8Xc8d
For you from Me
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhefDlVwLRr
I smile to myself and shake the bag, when I do a book falls out
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBM8L0USIU
“Hmm”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXG37rEHCs
I grab the book and read the title
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQklAx3OQzd
Evergreens love galore
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Co86Jzf9w
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg9EPyZSI6
“What a cornball”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1rDXoqSe2
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
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGfcw4aHru
“Of course he chose this dress look how tight it looks”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGWuFCncSC
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqnCXqVLpU
“RYDER RYDER”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SnNfwJ45v
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
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxM83EsZQe
“SAM”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWZHBN2dC7
She runs to me and then stops.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYgvA9byy1
“You didn’t go inside yet”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUM98YAwfr
She shakes her head no and takes a deep breath in and out
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZUOTzZGmM
“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”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2sk040vaX
We walk into the restaurant and the bouncer stops us
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAhWSlIs93
“Who’s your connection”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1AsYla4MI
“Ryder”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoawKKLc8Q

269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv3vGpRKJ3
“Names”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLc55dJduEf
“Sam and Merriam”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTHnTtWzEy
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1yF7Ibydw
“Look nice maids”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBdZj1lAfw
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
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Vea3RuYCu
“Sit ladies”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshpxSkf6eU
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0lYNSk2zF

“Really all these foods aren’t very-“
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTYz76Ijvp
“Very what”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQtoPAXRFk

269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNXCV1geqr
“Well these are great foods but I’m not hungry for that much”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi2JERGcHd

269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTfcXV0laL
“Babe you know someone coming here for the first time will not know what to order. Relax on her”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyCsZAiWjb
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

“Exactly how I felt when I ate those for the first time”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWfwVdYue3

269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tBpzgHs56

269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvGEQpcWnL
“Follow me”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1lcnowypH
I nod okay and we walk towards the end of the balcony where the cool breeze of the river takes over. In this spot it’s more dimmer and yet so peaceful
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeChPZ7OXsh
“I want to thank you once again for coming out”
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgit5pDc4QA
