Raiyven was on the set of her new commercial. She was getting made up as her career in acting was kicking off. She was doing her commercial on her line of cosmetics.
Tatiana I am not sure I can do this? You're my personal assistant and need advice. Shawn promised me he'd be here and he isn't. He's my agent and friend. I don't do beautiful. I don't do Hollywood and now I'm in something that I'm unsure I can do. I'm a fighter and not some model or actress.
Tatiana: Listen to yourself. You can do anything and don't worry by time you get up there Shawn will be there. You are great and you got the world in your hand. Go up there and do your thing. You're beautiful and you'll do great. So why don't you get on stage and I'll call Shawn for you.
Raiyven settles down as she walks on stage as the production team walk over her lines. They bring out the male model as she gets more nervous.

I was not feeling my best after I left the notary. My divorce was under way and I had to pull myself together. Raiyven had her first major commercial and I promised to be there for support. I entered trying to hide my emotions as I saw her on stage. I walked up to her as I could feel her nervousness.
Hey girl you'll be fine. I can tell you're nervous. Just let your coach walk you through it. Picture yourself in a big match and you need to prepare to win. So how can I help you?

Shawn I'm no actress. They want me to spray the perfume and there's that guy over there. He's in the commercial too. I just read the script. He gets to embrace me and smell my skin as the commercial goes. I'm not comfortable with it. I don't know him. I don't think I can do it. I wish I could meet him to make the commercial go better.

I walk on the stage.
Listen Raiyven. Don't make too much of it. Your not sleeping with him. He's just smelling your skin. It has to look mesmerizing to sell the product. You said you trusted me. You think I'd put you in something that would hurt you? I'm gonna be right here to support you. So take a deep breath and knock it out of the park. I believe in you.
I placed my hands on her face to calm her down.
You got this. Breath and let the anxiety go. I'll be here and proud of you.
I dropped my hands and went to sit in my chair.

Raiyven felt relieved as she walked away from him. She began acting but when the male actor got close she stopped and couldn't finish. It went from take after take. She just couldn't do it. The director stopped as he came to her.
Director: Sweetheart what's going on? You are great. Don't think of it as Blake but think of it as someone you know and like. Maybe someone you love? You gotta put your mind in that setting. Now can we get our mind right and wrap this up?
Raiyven shakes her head.
Jeremy I can't. This isn't me. I'm trying but I feel violated. No matter how I try I just can't do it.
The director looks at Shawn.
Shawn can you talk to her?

I walk up to her.
Raiyven? Please. We need this. Just relax. Let me show you. I'm gonna walk behind you and smell. Just think of me as maybe someone you love okay?
I walked and hugged her from the back and smelled her neck. I then let go and walked in front of her.
See. You can do it. If you can let me do it then you can let anyone. So Princess how about you try again.
I walked down from the stage and sat back down.

Raiyven ran her lines with no problem.
I trust you. I know you. I'll give it another shot.
Another take and again Raiyven just couldn't do it. She looks at Blake the male actor.
I'm sorry. It's not you but me. I can't do it.
The director walks up on the stage.
Raiyven come on. It's just a smell of the perfume. Get your head right. Let's go!
Raiyven looks at Shawn and then at the director.
I can't with Blake. Can we do the commercial with Shawn?
The director scratches his hair.
Shawn?

I knew she needed me to be that bridge. I agreed and walked on the stage as the director was ready to start shooting again. The commercial ended with me holding Raiyven while I smelled her skin. I was amazed how well the commercial went. I needed to discuss my divorce with someone I trusted.
Great job girl. You think we can go and grab coffee. I need to talk to you about something very important.

Raiyven felt comfortable as the commercial began. Raiyven walks into a room as the cameras start filming. She's getting ready in front of a mirror looking at herself as she sprays perfume.
Every woman wants to be appreciated. So when you can't find the words then spray a little of "Raiyven" on you and let the rest come naturally.
Shawn walks up behind her as he hugs and smells her skin.
It works every time.
Cut! Great job guys. That's a wrap.
Raiyven got through it as she looks at Shawn.
Thanks Shawn. Yes we can get coffee.
They leave and go to a local coffee house.
So Shawn what's up?

I was troubled as he thought of the commercial. The thought of hugging Raiyven and smell of her remained. It happened so fast but knew I had to talk about what happened with Shayne. I pulled out a document and showed it to Raiyven.
I'm giving in. I decided to give nearly everything that she wants. She doesn't want to be with me so why force it? In a month, I've got to be with my attorney to sign the papers. It will be official. I asked her not to bring Ethan but she'll bring him. I just need some support. This is a tough time for me. Good thing is the commercial took my mind off of her. I hope I didn't scare you but I had to sell how great the product is. That moment definitely got my mind off of the divorce. I know you got your next commercial this weekend. I'll be there and can't wait to see how you do. Don't worry you'll be fine. I've talked to the advertiser as I'll be in that commercial. I feel it'll make you comfortable.

Raiyven felt bad. She was hoping he could work things out with Shayne. She read and couldn't believe he was giving so much. In her thoughts she remembers how comfortable she was with him in the commercial. So Shawn being in the next one would go much smoother. She slides the document as she touches his hands.
I'm so sorry Shawn. I know you wanted to work it out. You're a very charitable man to give what you gave to her. She doesn't deserve it or you for that matter. You must be going through hell. I wish I could make you feel better.
Raiyven realizes she's holding his hands. She lets go.
Sorry. Didn't realize I was holding your hands. If you want we can eat ice cream. Maybe being a friend is what you need. I hear the ice cream here is good. There's even a wishing well with a waterfall. Maybe we can go over there to wish for a good week on the commercial?

Sounds good.
I get up and go to buy the two ice cream cones. I come back and hand one to Raiyven. It was something I needed. The ice cream was good but just having a friend at this time was better. We make it to the wishing well and through some silver dollars in. I enjoy the ice cream as I start thinking about what I really wanted. I then hand Raiyven her some silver dollars.
There you go. Toss them in. You know what you wish for?

Raiyven takes the silver dollars and tosses them in. She closes her eyes as she finishes her ice cream.
I wished for happiness for you. I've got a good life and can't complain. My career in and out of the ring are good. Men in my life just confused things. Women also confused things. I'm so thankful for your friendship and you lining up things for me. I wish I could repay you for what you've done for me. So my wish is that whatever it is I hope you can be happy after such a terrible thing that's happened to you.

I finished my ice cream as I understood getting over the divorce would take time.
No need in repaying. You're my friend and that's enough. Thank you for you listening to me. I'll need your support as a month will be here sooner than later. Anyway thank you for listening and the ice cream. I need to go but will see you this weekend at the studio.
I left as I needed to be by myself as I try to deal with how my life will change.
