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”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmw9Qx10jg
“And”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73GDx2G7RY
She grabs my arms tries to get me to jump but I decline and continue cleaning
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24B6Xtn7UY
“This month has been peaceful with bang boy away”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLy9SG4iyV
She falls onto the couch and smiles
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFoqV9tBHc
“So comfy”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7MF9QTLpR
“Glad you like it”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPyu21I15F
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
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qruoJRRun
“Huh that’s weird”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNIeHEZzRF
Merriam hands me some pads and I take it
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0donwrke2
“What”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KeozbPDOt
“Well my period is late”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOZkTXCbG0
She looks at me and my heart drops
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfEmTBtwp8
“It’s late”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYdYue5iIJ
I repeat this over and over again before letting out a screeching scream
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiUw634sb8
“NO”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl16fMtbcZS
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
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡls88rXrPOD
“I can’t Merriam I can’t be pregnant”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQaWZEnxDw
She walks into the bathroom and picks up the stick
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlRIIrfeU6
“I-“
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtnGxwAAlD
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
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRUOnWzdtr
Pregnant
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7QJRPMFIz
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.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcakBlzOWkF
“I doubt Ryder knows who papa legba is Merriam”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNgi3wa7Dyr
She stirs the soup
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YlpKhFXJb
“You don’t know it’s hollywood after all. Now drink so you can get this baby out”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvaC6zhdCr
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
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvirzqUX0VP
“GIRL HES COMING”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY2jGD5icV
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
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv2nUc4l0a
“Hayyy maidsss”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHyxTK6EVP
A woman enters and it’s the same one he left with on tour. She smiles and gets closer to us
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu72VpuXDv
“Ladies we will be having a party today”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO0ezNhBeQ
She rambles on and on but pregnancy brain is making me forget all of what she was saying
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uOooy263G
“Huh”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqyZfkYGce
Merriam laughs out loud and the lady looks dumbfounded
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjB23JZkjBo
“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.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIPHYPlPqS
“Get these washed”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5tkqX0FTl
Merriam nods yes and drags his luggage away. We exchange a look then I turn away
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1P4IEhfKC
“Make me a smoothie”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40ERXhk5E5
I nod okay and walk to the make him the regular. I hand it to him and go to walk away
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wnjEGdJEQ
“Stay we need to talk about your resignation”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KhmjeeCtX
I walk back
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidQlgZytNH
“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”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmr3TRIojb
I nod alright. Shit I have to pee
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZaHUPrjl5
“I have to pee now”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB1vOfBwBS
I rush to the bathroom and pee then come back out and see him still sitting.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXb1uP9QF3G
“I’m sorry please continue”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtFcg7ZcLr
He nods okay
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QE3MMtDA5
“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”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvNXloE2sr
I have to tell him now
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGCiOuMsd5
“Ryder I need to tell you something”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwgh7UVosP
I take a deep breath in and out
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpJcZdWb5M
“I’m-“
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFG94U4vwJ
“ENGAGED YESSS”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSgeJwWIBE
The woman comes back out interrupting me and flings herself to Ryder. Merriam’s face screams don’t tell
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTAs6UsIKt
“Me and Ryder are happily engaged so I’m happy and hopeful of our marvelous future”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWttrZOqSRT
FUCK
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG75PIbPpL
I rush to the sink and throw up. Merriam rushes to my side
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FkgtQK7Uc
“What the fuck”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrVdpd23ha
The lady walks to me and turns on the sink
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LzcXt9hny
“My gosh a better response then puking to my engagement would’ve been way better”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyruRfrsKk
“I’m sorry”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9QMRz3hyj
I wipe my mouth with a napkin and Ryder looks at me
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ehEsk5HAq
“Upset stomach”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpZ2Nyhj7E
“For how long”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97X2VGPNwQ
Ryder stands up and stands near the woman. His eyes dim as he glares at me
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPkQafnaf8
“Since yesterday. I have been eating soup”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7nN5nj8QV
“Eat more. Merriam make us all a nice soup”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H1Dd9t5pW
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.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhC3PUxUhj
“So I was planning of a beach wedding”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTI5WFLhTy
The lady shoves a magazine in front of me and points to the wedding a latest celebrity had.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv1DZsUlSmK
“Looks nice”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl3gaofi02
She smiles and shows me her ring
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWP1wpiRXQ

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw4quYExs7

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGneumKm9yQ
“Psst”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrwwyHWl9w
Merriam hands me soup and whispers in my ear
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ44WYxXRxD2
“He looks like he’s encountered papa legba”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQZNFPTp5K
I quickly look at Ryder and see his regular unfazed face
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrdkGyHUog
“I doubt that Merriam. Stop being paranoid”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsTc8AoYd1
“What, can’t I as a proud Haitian woman tell you when I know a person has encountered an Iwa”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZfjXvCB1C
We both look at him then look away
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcr0ojMGoYS
“Merriam keep your conspiracy theories on the low for now”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiIIJUmyq9
She shakes her head okay and eats her soup
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E9o4I5Me9
“By the way what did you have to tell me Sam”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lifO6q2vt
I swallow my soup down hard as Ryder focuses on me
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51gqtPM2WT
“Nothing really”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqgTbLpjjh
“Alright then”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EoWm5HRte
He stands up and offers the woman a hand up
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyWklS3Mio
“Although she introduced herself to you guys she hasn’t said her name. Maids meet Natasha. She’s my fiancé”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXL8JRr5ok
We wave hi and Natasha waves back eagerly
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkE1zSoBoTi
“Hi maids I’m so happy to be here”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA6tID6d37
They walk to the window to chat and I massage my temples
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ma7twbcq6
“Of all the fishes in the sea he choose a chatty one”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPDSSOiWtM
Merriam sits next to me and hands me another bowl of soup
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9VM1yulcF
“At least he looks content”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuQhsGIaDw
My phone rings in my pocket and I smile as I see James
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLlVtnliGb
“James”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wQ5PeWLd2
“Sam”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFcn4B1zwV
I smile warmly as I excuse myself outside to speak
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApoILeyQK5
“James you haven’t spoken to me in a while. what the hell”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBv3xKevmX
“I know”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeg9zpfPckc
“NO YOU DONT KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINKxBc77a6
I control my anger and feel my sadness start set in
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlq4M6jBeE
“I’m sorry Sam I really am-“
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6xkgOwnAG
“No your not”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oT90MRUhc
I sob on the phone and sit down
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUkJvEPoEX
“Sam I wanted to tell you that I’m back in town”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlyodOMCnb8
“Really”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡln8ceIXftO
Like a dog my ears perk as happiness floods in
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0oCYV7MZh
“Woah talk about a change in moods”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlPw3w1ZSs
I smile embarrassingly. Must be the pregnancy hormones
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPammKYbxOF
“I’m sorry”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSogRaIgHy
“It’s alright. I know every Friday you leave early so when you do please change and meet me “
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8VOvi0ngH
“I can’t tonight Ryder and his fiancé need us to prep a candlelit dinner”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmXa884faV
“He has a fiancé”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplIq3UOrV6

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdaNRPoLwm
“You got my word. So how about tomorrow”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPS9JYhv1Z4
I smile
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGrpMuib7i
“Yeah”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWdq0sUZ54
“Alright I think you have to get going so bye”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnDMKwS0XO
“Bye James”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EcIEuh0nY
I hang up and walk inside the apartment to see Merriam and Natasha arguing
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPmOtEFLKV
“MARBLE WILL MAKE YOU LOOK UGLY CHOOSE BLACK”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9nXeNmMLZ
“BLACK WONT GO WELL WITH MY LIMITED EDITION GUCCI CULTURE”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ213ZhrrTJY
“THEN EAT OUT THEN”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv3ASfiTWH
“FINE”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8FvmJKpYz
I slowly close the door behind me and Merriam spots me
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiAKvWgLI5
“SAM”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3AAP46tx7
She storms at me and holds grips my shoulder
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEArfGbqn91
“Does marble go with Gucci culture or the MARVELOUS BLACK”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurLL0c3INV
I can see Natasha follow too and she pushes Merriam aside to speak to me
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SVdtnY7k9
“NO MAID. I think Gucci culture goes well with the MARVELOUS MARBLE”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmLNtu84Xq
They stare each other down but my mind is focused on the bathroom. If I get there quick I might be able to pee
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJytB3CrLKB
“We’ll make what is it”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw80kVE6Yzx
I look back at Natasha
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapkb3JohuC
“I think you should eat out”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlXsU9mKoB
“TOLD YA”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvTsa6mEBf
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
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwMUS3bCik
“Trying to escape the arguing”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMSqtKkxj9
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
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqAQgjIdHl
“Not really I just need to do my job”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7pVvGWSqe
I scrub all around the doorknob and bell
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09CuORLkhv
“Your a weird one”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHyfqQ5JwB
Ryder grabs the rag from my hand
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oKhi7iWjR
“Now let’s have a real conversation about what happened a month and a half ago”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfZbZIfIAR
Petrified I grab the rag back and turn away from him
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2dUZ6gbg3
“There’s no need”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY5WliPQKl
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.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucbdV4degb
“Why not, it is the reason why your resigning”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7ybv8SZPS
I place the rag down
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBz8hK5rDiz
“Fine”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FVZQXMBpu
We sit on the windowsill and observe the bustling street life from above
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7db3bYzNQE
“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”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGrlIkswCh
I steer clear from Ryders eyes as I glance at the tall skyscrapers reflecting the suns light
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZ68qlsLGQ
“So did you mean what you told me when you told me to admit that I hated my life”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHWQTTg2Sw
I sheepishly look away as I feel my face flush
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeyURrv4zc
“Yes. When your drunk don’t you always speak the truth”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oTVtrrFD9
Ryder looks onward at me and shrugs
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS1sZNTOXU
“That is for me to know and you to never find out”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNNDjZqb0Q
I stand up and stroll towards the bucket and squat
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfKlx3DKtj
“Well mister Ryder I must clean the door. Please don’t think I’m cutting our conversation short”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPLq2E0l1G
Ryder sits up and walks towards the elevator
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHocSYs66Y
“No need for proper talk Sam I know that doesn’t suit you well”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WlOUSsmcc
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
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhngIWJcVu
“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”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtJd3dwtpR
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
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTuHgkNUhUN
“Alright chubs no barking alright”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJY7euRFII
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.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIEKbrDqu8
“Alright so I’m 7 weeks along”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgvi2Q4wrn
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
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsKhKwmt1y
“For you”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBniMMfDbpB
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.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpG2e8UTSa
For you from Me
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLX9EseXEIt
I smile to myself and shake the bag, when I do a book falls out
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Nz3fWbXxb
“Hmm”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVyKdXRx7O
I grab the book and read the title
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ycAdQaayw
Evergreens love galore
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKIeX2Z9e0
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.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr94CrfiIy6
“What a cornball”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyapOlPhSjA
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
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjj3o7BXX6z
“Of course he chose this dress look how tight it looks”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbqMjVGLEh
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.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYpMQJA0YL
“RYDER RYDER”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9neGtX3ydH
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
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzV6IotC10X
“SAM”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xCPT0UXUh
She runs to me and then stops.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaGhtLJWGy
“You didn’t go inside yet”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Qn7Y1BgRj
She shakes her head no and takes a deep breath in and out
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKo9ypM2MR
“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”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ9VHveYws
We walk into the restaurant and the bouncer stops us
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNV4rxFwh4
“Who’s your connection”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WWo83mK9z
“Ryder”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvZQssVKs6
The bouncer checks the list
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e2rSTX6ES
“Names”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wu5YbcNAN
“Sam and Merriam”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkXK3kVlqR
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.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oqvuki5Yt
“Look nice maids”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxFOMyW322
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
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkDQ8safvn
“Sit ladies”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdGKOuCbPQ
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.
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5n78GO9tI
“Well hello what would you loves like to order”

Merriam goes first and orders a mushroom infused spaghetti made with wagyu meatballs with a side of caviar. Next Natasha and Ryder over risotto with various seafood dishes with a side of wagyu

“Really all these foods aren’t very-“
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32p5iwOluD
“Very what”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuakPuzXhvh

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdwiVPSWja
“Well these are great foods but I’m not hungry for that much”

“Babe you know someone coming here for the first time will not know what to order. Relax on her”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVxceRTNEh
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
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvdRS4Ey2j

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjr2mTZma8
“Exactly how I felt when I ate those for the first time”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31SdERzMAR

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCarjEbGSzS
“I swear people really don’t know how to control their liquor”

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWwIqO2JHV
“Follow me”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKNBPZDcGA
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
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxb23dSJKyW
“I want to thank you once again for coming out”
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ603owVsIJD

281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeoUiVfjw1
“It’s just my job-“
281Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkzZbcAgBA
