Thirty minutes later Jera came out of her locker room already dressed for the nights show even though it was still four hours away. They were having some pictures taken today and she had decided to wear the outfit she had picked out for the show in the pictures.

She stopped at a mirror at the end of the hall and gave herself a last onceover before she walked out into the main backstage area. She made her way towards the area where the photographers had set up, already a large group of the guys had gathered and were waiting. As she approached the group she heard a whistle and looked over to see her best friends standing together.

The group included Kip "Billy Gunn" Sopp, Brian "Road Dogg" James, Sean "X-Pac" Waltman, Paul "Triple H" Levesque, and his fiancee Joanie "Chyna" Laurer.

When Jera saw Paul she almost ignored the group and kept on walking, but since they had already spotted her it would be hard to explain why she was avoiding them, so she walked over to them.

"Wowee Jera babe, you are looking *TOO* hot!" Kip said, circling around her and giving her a thorough once over.

"Why thank you Mr. Sopp. Flattery will get you everywhere." Jera said with a mischievous grin.

Kip raised his eyebrows, "Oh really. Everywhere?"

Jera gave him one of her sexiest smiles, "Everywhere."

Everyone around them laughed. They were all used to the bantering that when on between Jera and Kip and they all got a good laugh out of it.

"The two of you are too much," Brian said, still chuckling.

Jera grinned and slung her arm aross he shoulders. "Now Bri, if it weren't for me and the Kipster, who would entertain you guys?"

Everyone laughed again and Brian swept her into a bear hug. When he released her she climbed up and sat on one of the large equipment trunks that were sitting there.

"If they put you on the front of the magazine in that outfit they'd sell a million copies," Kip said with a grin.

"Yep, they definately would," Jera heard Paul chime in a looked over the see him standing next to her, his elbow resting on the trunk. She quickly averted her eyes when they met his.

She smiled at Kip,"You really think so?"

"Yep," he said with a nod.

"Well, I guess we're just going to have to suggest that to Vince," Jera said with a laugh. "And I'll ne sure to tell him about it at our next meeting."

Just then one of the photographers called her name. "Jera? We need Jera now please!"

"Aww damn, I hate doing these things," she grumbled as she began to climb down off the trunk and quicker than a blink Paul had his hands around her waist and lowered her gently to the ground. Their eyes locked and their breathing quickened. For a moment they just stood with Paul's hands still resting on her waist. The photographer calling her name again broke the spell and she quickly turned and hurried off. Paul just stood staring after her until Sean walked up beside him and poked him in the ribs.

"Paulo, close your mouth, you're making a puddle."

"Huh?" Paul turned towards him with a dazed look.

"You're drooling man."

Paul shook his head and then glared at Sean.

"You're drooling after the Baby Girl," Sean said, using the nickname the Kliq had for her.

"You're crazy man," Paul said glaring at him again.

"No I'm not. You better be glad Joanie wasn't standing here, she would've clocked you one."

Paul didn't answer because he knew the kid was right. He'd always had feelings for Jera, and lately whenever he was around her he just seemed to turn to mush, and he couldn't seem to keep his mind off her even when they were apart. He glanced over at Sean and knew that the younger man had him figured out.

He shrugged and shook his head, "I don't know what to do."

Sean smiled, "Don't worry man, you'll figure it out. You always do."

Paul just nodded. He wasn't so sure that he could figure it out this time.
