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”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeofx6hQBZb
“And”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4b73dUyq6K
She grabs my arms tries to get me to jump but I decline and continue cleaning
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyB2T4t2c5o
“This month has been peaceful with bang boy away”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkox2HIPFPO
She falls onto the couch and smiles
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5BAeqUsWu
“So comfy”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjD3qrEAMZ8
“Glad you like it”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoBQD9bZbD
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
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4UIv8jOlF
“Huh that’s weird”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwL4IHfUvK
Merriam hands me some pads and I take it
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeI5IXYDHpn
“What”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iTejcGpXF
“Well my period is late”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XgO9r37An
She looks at me and my heart drops
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSdCvPnwUM
“It’s late”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NR7aL0OUG
I repeat this over and over again before letting out a screeching scream
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6PEvHFH3I
“NO”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPBops7F3V
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
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mV817T8lF
“I can’t Merriam I can’t be pregnant”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60XxCpioCu
She walks into the bathroom and picks up the stick
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjwyAVg74D
“I-“
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHmq7ukDs5
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
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepf34HHpbd
Pregnant
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0B3ja0aoOH
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN1lqzVVtZ
“I doubt Ryder knows who papa legba is Merriam”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hsRXjnNmc
She stirs the soup
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRrkkat1LQ
“You don’t know it’s hollywood after all. Now drink so you can get this baby out”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbZ7Wj1Ugq
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
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0vswUSe1O
“GIRL HES COMING”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj56aqAe5gS
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
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzw9TFNNuH
“Hayyy maidsss”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWx40g3knO
A woman enters and it’s the same one he left with on tour. She smiles and gets closer to us
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5kRfpUN4Z
“Ladies we will be having a party today”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJANUSg428
She rambles on and on but pregnancy brain is making me forget all of what she was saying
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9Yk2I1HNM
“Huh”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCjPwfj3RH
Merriam laughs out loud and the lady looks dumbfounded
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0YOG6jlKx
“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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimuK8bN84S
“Get these washed”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIdzPtMGSs
Merriam nods yes and drags his luggage away. We exchange a look then I turn away
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnieYXjiLG
“Make me a smoothie”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuVaCVGdbP
I nod okay and walk to the make him the regular. I hand it to him and go to walk away
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEcCRRByBx
“Stay we need to talk about your resignation”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy0tyhF8td
I walk back
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZKLMF9N3SN
“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”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmgZmTCWDM
I nod alright. Shit I have to pee
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡstXYeii8kd
“I have to pee now”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbGLXqLftd
I rush to the bathroom and pee then come back out and see him still sitting.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgGz5D51oM
“I’m sorry please continue”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRYB5EeumC
He nods okay
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQHVR7zPkv
“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”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GC3V9UzOY
I have to tell him now
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1h062E3eT
“Ryder I need to tell you something”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc23Rf9ArH
I take a deep breath in and out
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhDNzYbyPj
“I’m-“
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne6C90qxLW
“ENGAGED YESSS”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsDB1niKJA
The woman comes back out interrupting me and flings herself to Ryder. Merriam’s face screams don’t tell
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjctuVed2Sd
“Me and Ryder are happily engaged so I’m happy and hopeful of our marvelous future”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3nc6LtVFb
FUCK
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvzi8zqUO7
I rush to the sink and throw up. Merriam rushes to my side
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GIeyzUmcb
“What the fuck”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMS4BuPS2b
The lady walks to me and turns on the sink
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Nub47czkE
“My gosh a better response then puking to my engagement would’ve been way better”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXfWm7ZkUB
“I’m sorry”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpLk3f9CNl
I wipe my mouth with a napkin and Ryder looks at me
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBZrCRWQC3
“Upset stomach”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjrfPBU3Jb
“For how long”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHrDP73quX
Ryder stands up and stands near the woman. His eyes dim as he glares at me
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKneqCVUdx2
“Since yesterday. I have been eating soup”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RW4c0KSIo
“Eat more. Merriam make us all a nice soup”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEXnjlqrB6
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZOO4VsrEj
“So I was planning of a beach wedding”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ERu5ymEYQ
The lady shoves a magazine in front of me and points to the wedding a latest celebrity had.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlsuPOji83
“Looks nice”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuqmo07x2U
She smiles and shows me her ring
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB62Kp6O8Lb
“24 karat diamond ring from monteque. I know it was a pretty penny to purchase”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mgRaYLSSW

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVScJPueXq1

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGG7IWOjnV
“Psst”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHydXxWCJD3
Merriam hands me soup and whispers in my ear
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDAkv7o4bo
“He looks like he’s encountered papa legba”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT2Q8kSL7f
I quickly look at Ryder and see his regular unfazed face
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nATQNBJ4y
“I doubt that Merriam. Stop being paranoid”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuWBE8BRf8
“What, can’t I as a proud Haitian woman tell you when I know a person has encountered an Iwa”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiEUdVBFV9
We both look at him then look away
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxRcbsZzb0
“Merriam keep your conspiracy theories on the low for now”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWMwMHC0MY
She shakes her head okay and eats her soup
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevRe4dXhHB
“By the way what did you have to tell me Sam”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORz8CTpG4B
I swallow my soup down hard as Ryder focuses on me
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyRThXcwb2
“Nothing really”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6l5v9fpCu
“Alright then”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M4tpYe6vq
He stands up and offers the woman a hand up
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y7Lf0nEFy
“Although she introduced herself to you guys she hasn’t said her name. Maids meet Natasha. She’s my fiancé”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmnyP5Pl82
We wave hi and Natasha waves back eagerly
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnjIiZmWDl
“Hi maids I’m so happy to be here”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbHKTFILyG
They walk to the window to chat and I massage my temples
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTVGX3Fabg
“Of all the fishes in the sea he choose a chatty one”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG59mU8xFoW
Merriam sits next to me and hands me another bowl of soup
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJbXuqzIVA
“At least he looks content”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKUBcW1HzU
My phone rings in my pocket and I smile as I see James
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcQ4LRoI30
“James”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulhs8g8v9h
“Sam”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sqOfImYgV
I smile warmly as I excuse myself outside to speak
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f8mjHR7zP
“James you haven’t spoken to me in a while. what the hell”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eHdfFPvJw
“I know”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIa0C28EXU
“NO YOU DONT KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZT9uctVr8
I control my anger and feel my sadness start set in
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgLMsiiYes
“I’m sorry Sam I really am-“
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCNbi1bcxV
“No your not”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQFna9tUgd
I sob on the phone and sit down
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiHK2NwUIq
“Sam I wanted to tell you that I’m back in town”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfF2grYnKG
“Really”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQdrUP9U4G
Like a dog my ears perk as happiness floods in
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4JgwqxczC
“Woah talk about a change in moods”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybgMWLCRzx
I smile embarrassingly. Must be the pregnancy hormones
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2TFLlRjy9
“I’m sorry”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8Uyfe5LZI
“It’s alright. I know every Friday you leave early so when you do please change and meet me “
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSq69oUM8N
“I can’t tonight Ryder and his fiancé need us to prep a candlelit dinner”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jPvvzzktZ
“He has a fiancé”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d6zvm5Egy

224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ecu2TE0Hw
“You got my word. So how about tomorrow”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcOaudNLH4
I smile
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgPIU3aceQ
“Yeah”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycpIfecTkw
“Alright I think you have to get going so bye”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ3XbMHh3o
“Bye James”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtfsjCdFo6
I hang up and walk inside the apartment to see Merriam and Natasha arguing
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCCCg24WAc
“MARBLE WILL MAKE YOU LOOK UGLY CHOOSE BLACK”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoPSsnVOvE
“BLACK WONT GO WELL WITH MY LIMITED EDITION GUCCI CULTURE”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5daqZhQAd
“THEN EAT OUT THEN”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrjT8heTJZ
“FINE”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQSH4xXaZd
I slowly close the door behind me and Merriam spots me
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sFgK5kBNT
“SAM”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKwqtFPN00
She storms at me and holds grips my shoulder
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0bEv6sdBe
“Does marble go with Gucci culture or the MARVELOUS BLACK”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrTK8wlbv5
I can see Natasha follow too and she pushes Merriam aside to speak to me
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamrPJTOHJb
“NO MAID. I think Gucci culture goes well with the MARVELOUS MARBLE”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOTCvkbjXH
They stare each other down but my mind is focused on the bathroom. If I get there quick I might be able to pee
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKTxzFdOF8
“We’ll make what is it”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkgAtOXRM4
I look back at Natasha
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6WVyTeOL7
“I think you should eat out”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQckOqPYdRn
“TOLD YA”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEI4XyGqnB
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
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkF2QCvAb2
“Trying to escape the arguing”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGy3jjTsu2
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
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19vV7rK5p2
“Not really I just need to do my job”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyb0QjzjRu
I scrub all around the doorknob and bell
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9pSVDvpjo
“Your a weird one”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeUoydxwsy
Ryder grabs the rag from my hand
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlJAEuaZry
“Now let’s have a real conversation about what happened a month and a half ago”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVBrjUw8Do
Petrified I grab the rag back and turn away from him
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsiHfwqx2G
“There’s no need”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwzjKCX5EB
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v7qmpvKjN
“Why not, it is the reason why your resigning”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmq1F3f0k0
I place the rag down
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mOWAcb4eI
“Fine”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6ia9kNf2j
We sit on the windowsill and observe the bustling street life from above
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKx6x2WB5u
“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”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9QFlWrb6f
I steer clear from Ryders eyes as I glance at the tall skyscrapers reflecting the suns light
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkTlwV1kI5
“So did you mean what you told me when you told me to admit that I hated my life”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIR5r2VGzPL
I sheepishly look away as I feel my face flush
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡid5TMrXwgJ
“Yes. When your drunk don’t you always speak the truth”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBv1P816CnZ
Ryder looks onward at me and shrugs
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1EFq5Mpkp
“That is for me to know and you to never find out”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdF9KbIZeG
I stand up and stroll towards the bucket and squat
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlKpbRV1KPK
“Well mister Ryder I must clean the door. Please don’t think I’m cutting our conversation short”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lq5lCJWDy
Ryder sits up and walks towards the elevator
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxkE2cMhK4
“No need for proper talk Sam I know that doesn’t suit you well”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJJhoDqguP
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
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWpniTqmC8c
“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”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkueRTvgBM
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
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRF0Vk86iv
“Alright chubs no barking alright”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsgACQR76y
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmikgss21h
“Alright so I’m 7 weeks along”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsdrqafcOG
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
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw1f9GCF1A
“For you”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkqjXgiw52
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqo3soKWvL
For you from Me
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJLvAC4yFD
I smile to myself and shake the bag, when I do a book falls out
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtOi65eQqZ
“Hmm”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ChBAd6MQG
I grab the book and read the title
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5grUd0NSAK
Evergreens love galore
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIADQ3ZNQm
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡearKKZQzpl
“What a cornball”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjN5Fg7eB8
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
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcRnxWl843
“Of course he chose this dress look how tight it looks”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi8cbSsI9f
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFt3u27hWL
“RYDER RYDER”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL1gTP8u8K
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
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5Ycpp6C0n
“SAM”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Mw4RIialq
She runs to me and then stops.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI32P9iWQaX
“You didn’t go inside yet”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZQUAyX7xB
She shakes her head no and takes a deep breath in and out
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpc01OYeuU
“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”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L97HONoDt
We walk into the restaurant and the bouncer stops us
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafngch2ctD
“Who’s your connection”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAS6T6yBMtV
“Ryder”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HjsIucoTF
The bouncer checks the list
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbiva0TYmgk
“Names”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSM57Oi9da
“Sam and Merriam”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIpEZ3y4c0
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyCIfyAVCO
“Look nice maids”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvuQDwpy2f
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
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqQo3jPAvu
“Sit ladies”
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT1q03tGzr
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.
224Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJgTB1TIVa
