A/N: Same tune just a different tone, don't sue i'm broke.
Chapter 8:
Candy stood in front of her mirror grinning from ear to ear in her sweats, waiting for Jeff when she heard a knock on her door. "Come in!" She called out gaily.
"Hey, great job, Kid." A thick male voice said from behind her.
Candy jumped and turned around quickly. "JP! I wasn't expecting you."
"Well, just wanted to say that ya did great." He repeated, looking earnestly into her eyes.
For a moment she felt a little like Jell-o, staring into his expressive eyes. And for an a even briefer moment she was insanely jealous of Stephanie, who had been given the privledge for so long of staring into those eyes. Then she shook herself to reply, "Thank you, that means a lot, coming from a veteran like you."
"No problem, Kid, I look forward to workin with ya later."
"Wait, w-w-what?" Candy stuttered halting in the middle of taking off her boots.
"Vince didn't tell you? Yeah, turns out you and I will begin a really hot feud with Chris and Steph. He won't tell me how it plays out though. Best part is you're guaranteed a spot in Wrestlemania now."
"That's just a week away!!" Candy said, suddenly extremely worried and self-conscious.
"Don't frett, girly, you can handle it." JP said, leaving her with a wave.
Candy sunk down into a chair slowly, suddenly feeling very tired and frazzled, breathing deeply. She smoothed her hair down and turned to look at herself in the mirror. She fixed her lipstick and played with her hair nervously, thinking about her up coming partenership with JP. *Why am I so fixated with this? It's no big deal...I mean it's just Triple H, right? No one has ever made me this jittery, it must be his size...."
Her thoughts were interrupted as Jeff entered her room. "Hey, cutie..." he said smoothly rubbing his hands on her tense shoulders and neck. "Wow, tense, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." She said lowly, nodding her head forward to allow him to rub her neck a little more firmly. "That feels really good, Jeff."
He turned her around and knelt in front of her, looking into her eyes. "You really are beautiful. You know that?" He was stroking her cheek softly and Candy was concentrating on his lips.
"Would you stop it." She said, a bit annoyed.
"I want to talk about us."
"What about us?"
He smiled then leaned forward and kissed her passionately. He held her close, loving her lips softly then pulled away agonizingly slowly. "I want to date you, exclusively. We've gone out a couple times but I want you to be just mine. Matt has Amy, I want you to be my partner, in and out of the ring."
"I can't."
"What?"
"Oh, Jeff, please don't think that way. I want to date you but Vince has me signed under a feud with Chris and Steph with JP as my partener." She couldn't stand the look in his eyes.
"Oh, really? Wow, he's big time, we should celebrate!" He grabbed her hands and helped her stand up. "Come on, wadda ya say?"
"Ok, but please let me change."
"Alright, I'll go tell Matt and Amy. God! This is such great news!" He gave her a big hug then left her.
