Chapter 21 Now thats acting
"Come on Rae, try again" John encouraged pulling the young girl up. They had been at this for almost an hour, she had told him repeatedly she couldn't do a dropkick, her breasts were too heavy for that. According to John she could do it, it was all about practice. And knowing how to move your body.
"I'm tellin you Cena, my tits are too big"
"Well why did you get them done that big?" John laughed,
"Believe it or not Cena these motherfuckers are real" Raven flopped down again, she didn't want to get up and practice again. Now her body wanted to rest if only John would go away. Instead he pulled her up.
"Come on Rae, try it again"
Raven groaned as she got into position, there was no way she could do a perfect dropkick, not with her body the way it was. Finally the practice payed off and with the skill of a wiley veteran she landed on the mat.
"Well done! See I told you you could do it Rae!" John clapped, Raven however stayed where she was, half giggling half wincing in pain. "Raven are you ok?"
She sat up still giggling holding her left eye "I smacked myself in the face"
"How did you manage that?" John asked puzzled, she did it right so how she managed to smack herself was a mystery.
Raven giggled louder "I smacked myself with my tits"
John burst out laughing "Sorry thats just too funny"
"Oh thats funny is it?" Raven demanded tackling him to the mat, because he was bigger he easily pinned her down. What John didn't count on was Raven's minx like legs wrapping around him and squeezing like a boa constrictor. He tried to get off her but her legs were firmly in place, with her grip he was sure she could do some real damage. Laughing like school kids they tumbled around the mats trying to get the upper hand, their laughter was cut short when John landed on top of her and her uncle Hunter walked in. John and Raven flushed deep red.
"This ain't what it looks like" They both got out before untangling themselves. Hunter looked at them gravely before turning his attention to his neice. "We need to talk. Now"
She had no idea what he wanted but she figured it was huge. "I'll meet ya after work Cena."
They walked down the deserted corrider together in a brisk silence. Hunter didn't say anything for a long while and Raven was starting to think he pulled her away just to be annoying.
"Ok why did you pull me away uncle"
Hunter stopped suddenly and gave her a long hard look. "I want the truth, what is going on between you and Cena?"
"Nothin, we're just friends"
"And I walked in on?"
"We were wrestlin" Raven shrugged making Hunter snort with disbelief.
"That ain't what it looked like Venom"
"Does this mean you and Ric Flair are actually fuckin each other?"
Hunter just looked at her wondering how the hell she got to that conclusion.
"Well apparently if you have a guy wrestler on top of you theres something going on, last week Ric Flair wound up on top of you so does that mean theres somethin going on there? I would hate to be you when Steph finds out"
Hunter let out a laugh "Yeah I ok Raven I get your point but it did look a little suspect and without sounding too creepy you are a pretty girl"
"Yeah I'm also jailbait remember and on top of that John would get fired"
"He might be getting fired anyways" Hunter said gruffly, his eyes going harsh.
"What? Why?"
Hunter let out a rough grunt "Lydia made another complaint against him, apparently last night he sexually assulted her"
"Thats crap Hunter and you know it. Besides John was with me last night. I was protecting him from the ninjas"
Hunter raised an eyebrow at her making her blush, Raven didn't know why but when John mentioned the ninjas she felt relaxed like she could tell him anything, in front of her family however she still felt reserved well apart from Iziah mainly because at the end of the day Izzy was as fucked up as she was. "They came and wanted to brand him, I fought them off. Thats how I got this mark" Raven rolled up her sleeve and showed him the scratch on her upper arm, she was aiming for the ninja leader but somehow wound up hitting a damn lamp giving John a massive fright.
"Do you have any kind of solid evidence of him being there all night?"
Raven shook her head "No I don't exactly record my nights uncle"
Hunter let out a sigh "Do you think he did it?"
"No" Raven got out instantly, with the exception of her ex, Raven was a pretty good judge of character and she knew just from looking at John that he was uncapable of rape.
"He's looking at another suspension and if Lydia pushes her claim then he could get fired. Once he's fired his career is over not just here but anywhere. He doesn't need this mark on his record"
"Then don't suspend him, you know that Lydia is full of shit uncle"
"I know that honey but theres nothing I can do unless..." Hunter trailed off
"Unless what uncle?" Raven asked slowly, she was not liking where this was going.
"Unless you can proove that Lydia is lying. If you can get her to admit that she was lying then that would be concrete evidence that John is innocent and Lydia might actually get fired"
"I can't do anythin Uncle, well I could beat the crap outta her until she admits it"
"Without getting yourself in trouble" Hunter let a small smile cross his face, "Your mission double 0-13 if you choose to accept it, is get that evidence without putting your friend in danger"
Raven laughed, Hunter used to do that alot when she was a kid, making little tasks a "mission" when she competed it Hunter would give her a gold coin or a cookie. As she got older, the "missions" got harder and the rewards more valuable. Now it seemed the reward would be getting her friend off the hook for a rape that didn't even happen.
"Alright Expostion" Raven saluted him. She had no fucking idea how the hell she was going to get Lydia to admit that she was lying. Raven could only hope that that brother fucking lying whore really was that stupid.
When Raven got to the Divas locker room it was just her and Lydia, Raven didn't say a word to her and busied herself in her locker (which was now kept locked) Raven didn't see her acting working but for John she was willing to try, she just hoped that she didn't fail. Raven punched the locker angrily, her fist scratched out blood as it collided with the harsh metal.
"Oh how I hate him!" Raven shouted angrily punching the locker again, Lydia shot her a look
"Whats your problem?"
"What do you care?" Raven snapped at her, acting angry wasn't hard. All she had to do was think of what Chase did.
"I don't" Lydia shrugged going back to her magazine. After that reveal Lydia no longer wanted anything to do with Raven.
Raven let out a sigh "John is nothing but a huge jerk"
Lydia failed to hide her surprise, according to the locker room John and Raven were closer than ever.
"I have never been so angry." Raven hit the locker again "I want him to pay, pay big time"
Lydia's curious nature had gotten the better of her, forgetting that Raven was the enemy she pried her way into Raven's business.
"What did he do?"
Raven's eyes darkened, the memory of Chase at full throttle. "He knows what he did."
"Why don't you just beat him up?" Lydia suggested mockingly,
Raven ignored it "Thats too easy. I want him to get fired and humilated and feel nothing but immense emotional pain"
"He must of really pissed you off"
Raven let out a sigh "I just want him to feel what I did. Sadly anything I do pyshically will get me kicked out"
Lydia fell silent and for a moment Raven was wondering if she had failed. Finally Lydia spoke up.
"You really want him to pay?"
"Yes. I want him fired and humilated"
"I thought you guys were as thick as thieves" Lydia pulled her head in for a moment, what if this was a crafty trick.
Raven let out a cruel laugh "Please! I was using him! Playing him like a guitar and now that I've gotten what I wanted I want him gone"
Lydia fell for her devious smile, "Well you could always do what I did"
Raven was very tempted to say that she didn't have a brother to fuck but remembering John's job was on the line she stayed in character. "What did you do?"
Lydia shrugged "Told a few lies about him and now he's on his way out"
"What you mean like he's takin steroids or somethin?"
Lydia let out a shrill giggle that made Raven want to kick her in the face over and over again. "No. I told Brent that he raped me and now he's on his way out"
Raven still played confused "They bought that?"
She giggled again "Yeah. I layed it on thick."
Raven shook her head puzzled "So you had sex with him and just turned it into rape?"
"No" Lydia grinned evily "We didn't even have sex."
Raven pretended to work through what she was saying "So you say he raped you when he didn't?"
"Yeah, just cry your eyes out and make up a load of crap and they'll believe you"
"I thought he really did rape you especially last night"
"No he didn't rape me either time."
Raven suddenly kicked her in the face knocking her back to the floor, a thin trail of blood spilling from her lip. "Wipe yourself off whore, your bleedin"
Raven was so happy, she had saved John's job and prooved to herself that she still had her great acting skills. What Raven didn't realise was John had overheard her acting and believed every word she spat out.
