It's around noon when Max finally catches an Uber back to his place. Sam, having wasted her entire morning doing 'stuff'. Decides to call up her horrified best friend that she blew off earlier in the day.
Sam dials Sammy's number on her phone and leans against her counter as it rings. The phone rings a few times before it goes to voicemail.
"Hey, Sammy. Look, I am so sorry about this morning. Can we just talk, please? Call me back when you get this, okay?" She leaves a message for Guevara before she hangs up the phone.
With nothing left to do but wait for either Sammy to call her back or work later in the night, Sam hops in the shower again for good measure. As she walks by her bathroom mirror she catches a glimpse of the hickeys littering her collar bone and neck.
"Shit." She mumbles to herself as she examines the bruises. "Really, Maxwell?" She groans and opens her top drawer where she keeps her limited supply of makeup. "Fuck, really?' Sam curses the air again when she discovers that her foundation bottle is damn near empty.
Opting for a quick shower, Sam cleans up and then grabs her keys. She doesn't live far from the mall and she knows that it has a Sephora inside. Perfect for a quick foundation run. Of course, there is a small part of Sam that says just let the hickies be. She knows it'll be like adding the cherry on top when she sees her dad at work. But then again, showing up to work covered in hickies isn't exactly the professional thing to do. And this is her first week on the main show.
Shutting her petty side down once again Sam goes through with heading to Sephora and getting herself a new bottle of full coverage foundation. When she arrives at the makeup store she's greeted by a cute brunette wearing a stunning full face of makeup.
"Hi! Welcome to Sephora! Is there anything I can help you with today?" She asks Sam with a friendly smile.
"Hi, um yeah actually there is." Sam nods. "I am in dire need of some good full coverage foundation." She explains. "I've got an important day at work later tonight and I need something that'll cover up all of these." She gestures to her neck.
"Of course!" The brunette giggles. "It looks like you had a fun night." She comments. "But, I know just the thing for you." She beckons for Sam to follow her.
Sam nods and follows the bubbly employee down the aisle to the foundation section. The brunette peruses the shelves for a moment before she comes to a small display.
"This is one of our best full coverage foundations, and one of my personal favorites." She points to the display. "It's perfect for covering up just about anything. Really popular with girls that have tattoos." She explains.
"That sounds perfect." Sam nods and picks up one of the bottles that looks like her shade.
After a bit of careful deliberation, Sam finds her perfect shade and grabs herself the biggest bottle they sell. Once she has her foundation she looks around a bit at some other stuff to kill a bit of time. She ends up picking a couple of cute lip glosses as well as a matte black lipstick that caught her eye.
Having grabbed way more than just the foundation that she came for, Sam hurries to check out before she spends all her savings. She checks out and is exiting the store when her phone buzzes to life in her pocket. It's Guevara finally calling her back.
"Sammy! Hey! I'm so glad that you called me back." She answers the phone excitedly.
"Yeah, what's up?" Sammy replies on the other end of the line.
"Can we get together and maybe talk?" Sam asks hopefully. "I'm at the mall doing a bit of shopping. And I know you can't resist that taco truck that is always parked outside." She smiles to herself at the fond memories.
