Starbucks, Brazilians & Alliances ~ A Sammi & Raven RP

[Deleted]

There was a full-scale war being fought inside RSW and at this point, no one could deny that. The violence, mind games, and bullying was out of control. Raven MacDemare, our gorgeous brunette beauty vlogger, seemed to be one of the favorite targets of both Violent Intent and MGM. Just this week she had been stalked by Emma Douglas, almost killed by Archer (luckily she had only suffered a broken finger), had her phone and engagement ring stolen by the awful couple, and had been forced to face her boyfriend in a wrestling match by Shawn and Arianny DeLise. But somehow, throughout all that lame drama, Raven was still smiling. It was a new day, a fresh start, and she was positive that RSW was going to change for the better.

It was a gorgeous, cold Sunday morning in San Francisco. Raven sits at Starbucks, texting away on yet another new iPhone, and waiting for her friend, Sammi Myers, to show up. She’s dressed in a pair of black skinny pants, high-heeled knee high boots, a hot pink and black off-the-shoulder top, and her hair was down and flowing over her shoulders. The door to Starbs opened and when Sammi Myers appeared, Raven quickly jumped up and opened her arms. “Sammi!”

Sammi had opted to try and wear something not as flamboyant as what she usually donned but she couldn’t resist her trademark side ponytail. She sees Raven and waves excitably, walking to and standing opposite her.

Sammi Myers:
“I heard about your finger Ravey. Are you totesily okay?”

Raven MacDemare:
“It is going to take a lot more than a broken finger to bring me down. I have been in battles with Archer before and he doesn’t intimidate me. I hate this situation, but I’m going to go into Vendetta with a positive mindset and get back what he took from me. Hopefully, we can walk out with a victory as well.

Raven directs Sammi towards the table she had snagged for them and pushed a Tall Vanilla Bean frappuccino towards her.

Raven MacDemare:
I went ahead and ordered for you. Sometimes they can be slow here. How are you doing? How did everything go in Las Vegas?

Sammi takes a deep breath.

Sammi Myers:
Everything went better than I expected. Gram doesn’t hate Zachie at least but she still has reservations and I totes get it. And thankies, is this good? I’ve never been to Starbucks before.

She looks down at the drink and then immediately takes a sip, trusting Raven’s choice.

Raven MacDemare:
It’s the best! It’s what I always get.

She gestured at her own drink which was nearly empty. The table also had two pumpkin scones sitting on a plate. Raven picked hers up, placed it on a napkin, and gave her friend her full attention.

Raven MacDemare:
She definitely has a right to have reservations but she also has to know that you like him. And you like Zach a lot, don’t you? You guys are cute together. I totally ship it.

Sammi blushes and bites her bottom lip. She nods her head shyly.

Sammi Myers:
I do. I just umm... he’s totes more experienced with this dating thing than I am so I don’t want him to like... get bored because I’m not really comfortable with some stuff yet, or if I will be. Between you and me, I only know what I learned from searching. My Gram would be perfectly happy if I stayed a virgin forever.

She chuckles nervously. Raven gives Sammi’s hand a reassuring squeeze.

Raven MacDemare:
He won’t get bored. I mean, I don’t know Zach Knight, but he does seem like a nice guy. Once the truth about everything came out, he really did a total one-eighty. I think it speaks a lot about his character that he can see beyond the lies he was told his whole life and finally just be his own man. And as far as him being experienced, that’s not something you can really worry yourself with. Nine out of ten men are more experienced than the girls they date. Lord and I were each other’s first real everything, but I know that he had other girlfriends that weren’t serious before we met.

Mondae Chaos and Arianny Blake-DeLise came to mind but Raven didn’t care about Lord’s history with either girl. They had all grown up together and everyone had a past.

Raven MacDemare:
Zach will respect your decision to take things slow if that’s what you choose to do, and as far as the other stuff that comes along with a relationship, you just have to be confident in your own skin. You’re beautiful, inside and out, and you have no reason to be shy or uncomfortable. You will figure out the stuff you like and what you don’t like. If I’m being honest, I’m not really that into anal.

Sammi sputters and spits out her drink.

Sammi Myers:
O.M.G Ravey!

Sammi looks around uncomfortably at the other guests but if any of them overheard it, none even appeared to care.

Sammi Myers:
I don’t think I’d like that either. Gram did say that it’s an ‘exit only’

Sammi smirks but the blush is evident still. Raven giggles. Gram seemed to be very wise.

Raven MacDemare:
I guess when it comes to sex, I’m pretty open. Like, I’m not proud of this but you know my mom used to do porn. I grew up with her videos splashed all over the Internet and despite the fact she was a former women’s champion, she’ll always be Tanith Mac or Mirage. Whichever stage of her career you wish to see. People never took her seriously when she became a wrestler, but it’s whatever. She fought hard to prove people wrong every day, but she’s always been honest with Amber and me. You have to have thick skin. There will always be someone waiting to tear you down. When you find someone you truly want in your life and they make you feel comfortable, embrace them. You really like Zach and it’s so sweet. And you’ll be fine. Just be free, experiment, and don’t hesitate to let him take the lead.

Raven’s eyes sparkled and she dropped her voice.

Raven MacDemare:
Maybe you would like the whole sex and submission thing.

Sammi shakes her head, her brown eyes large.

Sammi Myers:
I’m not good with submission in a ring, I totally doubt that I would like that sorta thing. But umm... maybe you can... like tell me if I need to do anything, or how I can be prepared.

She takes a sip of her drink, honestly looking to her new friend for advice.

Raven MacDemare:
All joking aside, and for the most part, I’ve just been teasing you, in terms of like preparing, I don’t know? I mean, I’m sure you keep yourself together, like wax, shave, wear perfume. Do your makeup. Wear a cute outfit. Most of the time Lord and I are drunk and don’t remember it in the morning.

Sammi shakes her head.

Sammi Myers:
Umm... I shave my legs... and my armpits. I don’t know any girl that doesn’t. And umm... I don’t have any perfume. Once I wore some of Gram’s but it was really strong and make me cough a lot. And outfits, well I’ve been borrowing my friend Michelle’s clothes. She’s a big time Talent agent so she’s always got like the best stuff and we’re about the same size except well...

She points to her chest.

Sammi Myers:
I started wearing more makeup when I joined RSW cuz Chelly said that I’d get all washed out on camera if I didn’t.

With how quickly Sammi is talking, it’s easy to see that she’s still nervous about it but her smile says that it’s more of an excited nervousness.

Raven MacDemare:
Okay, well Chelly is right. Makeup is like the most important thing in the world. I probably own too much, but I believe that there is no such thing as too much makeup. You have a naturally adorable face and I have liked what you’ve been doing with your eye makeup. Maybe, when you have your next date with Zach, try something a little different. Like, switch it up! Maybe try a smokey eye, with a bold, bright red lip. Red lipstick drives men crazy. At least it does Lord. I don’t wear it a lot because I prefer pinks and nudes, but he goes insane and can’t keep his hands off of me. As far as perfume goes, you probably need something light and a little more girly. I’m pretty sure Gram just wears Elizabeth Arden.

Raven thought for a moment.

Raven MacDemare:
‘Daisy’ by Marc Jacobs is literally the most perfect perfume. Have you ever been to Sephora? They sell it there. Pair your new look with a new outfit, something Zach wouldn’t expect. Do you own any skinny jeans and heels?

Sammi shakes her head.

Sammi Myers:
I shop at thrift stores mostly. And I haven’t quite mastered heels yet. You would think a gymnast and aerial expert would find it naturally but nope. I just fall over a lot. And honestly Ravey... I haven’t really been to a whole lot of fancy stores. Maybe you can... umm... show me?

She finishes her drink and smiles.

Sammi Myers:
That was really good!

Raven beams.

Raven MacDemare:
I can totally show you. I’ll take you shopping. The girl at the Sephora I go to here in San Francisco is absolute genius when it comes to doing brows. I swear she and I are in about as serious as a relationship as Lord and I are. Have you ever had your eyebrows waxed?

Sammi shakes her head.

Raven MacDemare:
It’s the best. Mani, Pedi. Let's see what else we can get done. Oh! What about a Brazilian?

Sammi nods and smiles.

Sammi Myers:
Umm.. Okay. If you say that I should. I trust you, you have all this girly stuff all down to a science. So you know what’s good. I totesily appreciate everything!

Sammi stands, throwing the cup into the garbage and waits for Raven.

Raven shoves half the pumpkin scone in her mouth (literally the most unlady like thing she’s ever done) and gathers up her stuff. She joins Sammi at the door and the two women head into the cool morning air. Raven slips her arms into the black leather jacket she brought with her and points down the street towards the direction the salon she goes too. La Tira Wax Studio was one of the most upscale places in all of San Francisco.

Raven MacDemare:
They also do eyelashes here if you’re interested.

Sammi turns to her friend.

Sammi Myers:
Do you think I need them? I mean the mascara that Chelly got me seems to make them look really long. I don’t mean to come off sounding needy... I really don't know much about any of this but I’m a really quick learner.

Sammi unzips a previously unseen fanny pouch around her waist and it wasn’t a stylish one either. It was legitimately one that came from the early 90’s. She pulls out a Hello Kitty velcro wallet, one that most kids use. She opens in and pulls out a sheet of photos taken at a photo booth of her and Zach making funny faces and shows it to Raven.

Sammi Myers:
He’s pretty funny.

Raven MacDemare:
LOVE!!! Look how happy the two of you look. I really don’t think you need any of this Sammi, to be honest. Zach likes you for who you are and take my advice, don’t go out of your way to please a man. There are some amazing men in this world and he seems to like you for exactly who and what you are. You don’t need the makeup, or lashes, or anything else…

Raven pauses.

Raven MacDemare:
Well, every woman needs their own signature scent so we are still going to get you a perfume today. But just be you. You guys are sweet. And if you truly feel like you need to prepare for whatever might end up happening between you, just go get the Brazilian. It is life changing.

Sammi nods.

Sammi Myers:
I don’t plan on changing anything about who I am inside Ravey. No one can take that away. I umm... have special reasons why I try to stay so upbeat and happy. Why even though I am very smart, I talk like a child. It’s not just a strategy to throw people off. It... helps me deal with it. I will tell you about it someday but not today. It would only make you sad. Oh and...

They get to the salon and Sammi looks up at it with her head tilted.

Sammi Myers:
What’s a Brazilian?


A SHORT TIME LATER....

“AOOOOWWWW!”

A few ladies sitting around the salon all look up in surprise at the loud scream coming from behind the closed door. All except Raven MacDemare who seems to not really be surprised at the screams of her friend. Raven just continues texting away until the door from the back opens and Sammi Myers finally reappears. She looks shell-shocked.

Raven MacDemare
Told you, it’s totally life changing.

Sammi has no reply at the moment. Raven giggles and having already taken care of the bill, escorts her friend out of the salon.

Raven MacDemare:
Next time, you need to get a vajazzle. If you really want to surprise Zach, go that route. He would just die.

Sammi seems to be walking rather slowly. She’s nodding her head but this time is smart enough to ask what that is before just agreeing. Her voice cracks as she speaks.

Sammi Myers:
I’m almost afraid to ask what a Vajazzle is... But I will anyway and hope to god it doesn’t involve me having my girly parts on fire like this again.

All the happy-go-lucky happy talk is gone momentarily for the sweetest girl in RSW as she tries to breathe through the biting pain of having all her pubic hair ripped from her body forcefully for the sake of vanity.

Raven MacDemare:
Well, maybe we can save the vajazzling. It's not for everyone but it's super pretty and you can have any color glitter or bedazzles that you want.

Raven slings an arm around Sammi and guides her towards Sephora.

Raven MacDemare:
They have neon colors too

Sammi finally lets out a laugh.

Sammi Myers:
Somehow I think that it would make him laugh if it was all dyed bright colors... but there is some benefit to being glow in the dark, am I right?

Raven just smiles as they stop in front of Sephora.

Raven MacDemare:
You know what? This is really fun. I miss being with my sister all the time and she's so sweet just like you. I know we haven't been friends for that long, but if you ever need anything, I'm here for you.

Raven pulled Sammi in for a quick hug, Sammi squeezes back. As she steps back, she lingers holding Raven’s left hand gingerly, seeing the vacant spot where her engagement ring should be. She shakes her head.

Sammi Myers:
And I meant what I said too. I have yours and Lordy-Bear’s backs. I don’t think that Hanalei and Bear’s revolution is the way to go after MGM & Violent intent if you really want to stop them and I guess... I’m doing something out of the ordinary for me by maybe asking you and Lord to... to help me. I admit, I’m a little unconventional but this has gone on too long. Sometimes you gotta do something unconventional to really make a difference. I’m going to help you get your ring back at Vendetta. Archer is a big meanie head and he needs a reality check. You’re not alone in this fight anymore Ravey. I promise you that.

Sammi’s kindness overwhelmed Raven and she had to stop herself from getting overly emotional. No one was willing to stand with Lord and her, and fight. They had been alone since day one and with Hailey Banks and Aiden Van’t Hoff no longer having their roster spots, Lovey truly had no one. Raven gave Sammi one last squeeze and stepped back.

Raven MacDemare
That means more to me than you'll ever know. All I can say is thank you.

Sammi smiles brightly.

Sammi Myers:
You just go out there and prove that no mixed up tag match is going to keep you down, I’ll do the rest. Now...

Sammi, noticing the tears glossing Raven’s eyes she pulls a tissue out of her fanny pack and hands it to her.

Sammi Myers:
Let’s find a supertastic perfume that will knock Zachie’s socks off.

She giggles as the scene fades out on the friends entering the store.
