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.

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKI2IbSDJQ
“This month has been peaceful with bang boy away”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB8IEWvXLK
She falls onto the couch and smiles
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkQIAbrPQM
“So comfy”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpMWkr8u84
“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
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OUyHyKxVx
“Huh that’s weird”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogQWppfLdH
Merriam hands me some pads and I take it
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsV57qjCmW
“What”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9CuvNTbIo
“Well my period is late”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQxKUwddRd
She looks at me and my heart drops
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATlTBEmFBX
“It’s late”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWQk7KXMgF
I repeat this over and over again before letting out a screeching scream
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3i1h2hHQgy
“NO”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk44fPK9Na
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
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Lm9qH8YVU
“I can’t Merriam I can’t be pregnant”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAgF0EdjnB
She walks into the bathroom and picks up the stick
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH067Y6BpmJ
“I-“
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwqM2USHpc
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
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm7yN1UMH7
Pregnant
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFbGsPiYhQ
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtWRQR6Vlr
“I doubt Ryder knows who papa legba is Merriam”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpAn3roT8G
She stirs the soup
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgTsKe1AJ3H
“You don’t know it’s hollywood after all. Now drink so you can get this baby out”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1nysQLxzt
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
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBsGXLVqPC
“GIRL HES COMING”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3kf4DhDne
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
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW2ah9X8xx
“Hayyy maidsss”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUedbVwARTq
A woman enters and it’s the same one he left with on tour. She smiles and gets closer to us
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1dRjHW7V3
“Ladies we will be having a party today”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRZ82Jis1w
She rambles on and on but pregnancy brain is making me forget all of what she was saying
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckSXTX2k4X
“Huh”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAal0elXml7
Merriam laughs out loud and the lady looks dumbfounded
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7gew4hN5U
“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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9IfOastzMp
“Get these washed”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZovFRmEueG
Merriam nods yes and drags his luggage away. We exchange a look then I turn away
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOt4rxoz5c
“Make me a smoothie”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHuoa3mPJu
I nod okay and walk to the make him the regular. I hand it to him and go to walk away
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv490JDBj1J
“Stay we need to talk about your resignation”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZW2MBatUR
I walk back
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82KY31KIPv
“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”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeiDobtnXk
I nod alright. Shit I have to pee
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv91Nt4XmEv
“I have to pee now”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1d1P8VSqDj
I rush to the bathroom and pee then come back out and see him still sitting.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIskxvudNI
“I’m sorry please continue”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGwPSNRitW
He nods okay
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iJYErVUtN
“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”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATCSYS9vIj
I have to tell him now
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebJJUA87iZ
“Ryder I need to tell you something”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolloUC38Cr
I take a deep breath in and out
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNUDFtMyV6
“I’m-“
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59ItsNRt3f
“ENGAGED YESSS”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7Dpxrqarl
The woman comes back out interrupting me and flings herself to Ryder. Merriam’s face screams don’t tell
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVstjcNrpsi
“Me and Ryder are happily engaged so I’m happy and hopeful of our marvelous future”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsNhDBtgJwa
FUCK
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefsIGwYST0
I rush to the sink and throw up. Merriam rushes to my side
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoasYwQWMHO
“What the fuck”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOLnbj2qpF
The lady walks to me and turns on the sink
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPogbNmpbfp
“My gosh a better response then puking to my engagement would’ve been way better”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBX54VotVBR
“I’m sorry”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzYk6OeWdtE
I wipe my mouth with a napkin and Ryder looks at me
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgDYYQwfEi
“Upset stomach”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQf8TRxmpv
“For how long”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8lAF2T0VS
Ryder stands up and stands near the woman. His eyes dim as he glares at me
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB0EuMc2vx
“Since yesterday. I have been eating soup”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsy11axvSz4
“Eat more. Merriam make us all a nice soup”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvdxQxGTE1
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4T4a2wd0f
“So I was planning of a beach wedding”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFIxzLm6Jc
The lady shoves a magazine in front of me and points to the wedding a latest celebrity had.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTQbG5u4Kw
“Looks nice”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv61VBRhhF5

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7Zpao7kJS

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MpEj37ju9
Merriam hands me soup and whispers in my ear
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcR1un9mj2n
“He looks like he’s encountered papa legba”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM8uMWf6uQ
I quickly look at Ryder and see his regular unfazed face
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhPM2VsIK4
“I doubt that Merriam. Stop being paranoid”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyckbb61DrY
“What, can’t I as a proud Haitian woman tell you when I know a person has encountered an Iwa”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgKFiO8GKY
We both look at him then look away
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa13Ns9RT21
“Merriam keep your conspiracy theories on the low for now”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSib0uWN2N
She shakes her head okay and eats her soup
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwMTObMEin
“By the way what did you have to tell me Sam”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TRR3M8uGt
I swallow my soup down hard as Ryder focuses on me
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXOIpoUFPZ
“Nothing really”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrJZdSKrKE
“Alright then”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VXBDJuoYC
He stands up and offers the woman a hand up
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL09hrEDjO
“Although she introduced herself to you guys she hasn’t said her name. Maids meet Natasha. She’s my fiancé”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY59Rlrz718
We wave hi and Natasha waves back eagerly
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtv7O9vxYd
“Hi maids I’m so happy to be here”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPhhCv8au6
They walk to the window to chat and I massage my temples
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡre7r7TNCmF
“Of all the fishes in the sea he choose a chatty one”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsymceJ0qU

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lK61pa4od
“At least he looks content”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ALsT8qXG0
My phone rings in my pocket and I smile as I see James
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUWJ4S9Nra
“James”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2k5KQ9bTU
“Sam”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYvUXXBAH1

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8y0Y3pz4S

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWOf7ZoEg5
“NO YOU DONT KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYBvdBy84K
I control my anger and feel my sadness start set in
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVW8SSaR1C
“I’m sorry Sam I really am-“
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiZlIPpVIJ
“No your not”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrmCNfq2E4
I sob on the phone and sit down
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPsRsbEHtJ
“Sam I wanted to tell you that I’m back in town”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIHYlfoQAe
“Really”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxnOefZew2
Like a dog my ears perk as happiness floods in
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD4DAZZaZg
“Woah talk about a change in moods”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsVzJyXzEl
I smile embarrassingly. Must be the pregnancy hormones
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWBEWw4odb
“I’m sorry”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLhydO1XmV
“It’s alright. I know every Friday you leave early so when you do please change and meet me “
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8Z2v9EUjU

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgZyVwaJmO

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwU2rLr4mM7
“You got my word. So how about tomorrow”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoZGgByKS4

“Yeah”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTH2jOQoiK
“Alright I think you have to get going so bye”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfOBcS9tCM

155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfq2Op2mlN
I hang up and walk inside the apartment to see Merriam and Natasha arguing
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Lm5v47G0f
“MARBLE WILL MAKE YOU LOOK UGLY CHOOSE BLACK”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrDbCmn47C
“BLACK WONT GO WELL WITH MY LIMITED EDITION GUCCI CULTURE”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5QLg2wF0G
“THEN EAT OUT THEN”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLwYtDcufp
“FINE”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhdIzPuHYn
I slowly close the door behind me and Merriam spots me
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JNuNjlp9D
“SAM”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5PuupzXxT
She storms at me and holds grips my shoulder
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxavPej4R0
“Does marble go with Gucci culture or the MARVELOUS BLACK”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4txDWp58UN
I can see Natasha follow too and she pushes Merriam aside to speak to me
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xiEvEaDIe
“NO MAID. I think Gucci culture goes well with the MARVELOUS MARBLE”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4286sfo2i
They stare each other down but my mind is focused on the bathroom. If I get there quick I might be able to pee
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV01j2yhxG
“We’ll make what is it”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUtkhEPX3i
I look back at Natasha
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChUxuC0Y0j
“I think you should eat out”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kfBGz6Ytv
“TOLD YA”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CbZxVrb9h
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
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHcaC3lpk7
“Trying to escape the arguing”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDVqLAebEB
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
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTamNCvMeaD
“Not really I just need to do my job”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaqq8jEz7A
I scrub all around the doorknob and bell
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc690PXempG
“Your a weird one”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3jD48uP18
Ryder grabs the rag from my hand
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnz1cXuau8
“Now let’s have a real conversation about what happened a month and a half ago”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwX749h3MoI
Petrified I grab the rag back and turn away from him
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGOQAWisJY
“There’s no need”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UkAOzr6OX
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEZeWqiFNt
“Why not, it is the reason why your resigning”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxnNDutmHO
I place the rag down
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZpIl8TkjA
“Fine”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ8MCyYITR
We sit on the windowsill and observe the bustling street life from above
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRNFNPqHqt
“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”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpMAACaX2c
I steer clear from Ryders eyes as I glance at the tall skyscrapers reflecting the suns light
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7uBle31bS
“So did you mean what you told me when you told me to admit that I hated my life”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutHKUVPNtJ
I sheepishly look away as I feel my face flush
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE6o3b59jV
“Yes. When your drunk don’t you always speak the truth”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5cfegGW8h
Ryder looks onward at me and shrugs
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa7jdpltXR
“That is for me to know and you to never find out”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUsDzF6aXe
I stand up and stroll towards the bucket and squat
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4e8UN3Mlwr
“Well mister Ryder I must clean the door. Please don’t think I’m cutting our conversation short”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkC6dxdTaX
Ryder sits up and walks towards the elevator
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJhZcNXa3k
“No need for proper talk Sam I know that doesn’t suit you well”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl1JxH7nS6
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
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00r4QO55zo
“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”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHpgmVglGq
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
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipiDQZQKUO
“Alright chubs no barking alright”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3u5DpIo2d
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy5EiX5MQ7
“Alright so I’m 7 weeks along”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjLUSDLUgc
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
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6mkJAcdqo
“For you”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg2uaJxjcc
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBjJ26b9La
For you from Me
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHraQl3o7p
I smile to myself and shake the bag, when I do a book falls out
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf2SacluJBP
“Hmm”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMN6539uzDx
I grab the book and read the title
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2qxe5y0QP
Evergreens love galore
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDaD2hD8Yj
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuul6n6mUe
“What a cornball”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGLujBHAun
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
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEtU2Dgb3Y
“Of course he chose this dress look how tight it looks”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24QkL679Z3
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcEzt0MsIn
“RYDER RYDER”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKqooMWVA4
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
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AUdgHlvji
“SAM”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbLXuHoGcJ
She runs to me and then stops.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13SM0mL0og
“You didn’t go inside yet”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ433u80Kwcy
She shakes her head no and takes a deep breath in and out
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9FKJTySX0
“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”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjcTNrPBpc
We walk into the restaurant and the bouncer stops us
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0oWfaqwxc
“Who’s your connection”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J0UuTvoq1
“Ryder”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PseDZmv3D
The bouncer checks the list
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAUO0cqfog
“Names”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDhcutmhcQ
“Sam and Merriam”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9QXBIJ1ie
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.
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWf0IEgnLJ
“Look nice maids”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGlHYp08Xq
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
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRpDCOn6Y9
“Sit ladies”
155Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSy78FSEWf
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.
