A Bit Out Of Character (Anyone)

Elle stood in the middle of the background in this outfit really nervous. With John's birthday in about a month, Elle decided to get started on planning for his birthday since she had a lot in mind for him. Getting some inspiration and an idea from Rai, Elle decided to do a custom calendar for him to have of her so that he could always have her with him when they were both too busy traveling to see each other.

Doing a few poses, Elle quickly loosened up and started to have some fun as she posed. Elle smiled widely when she saw her friend come into the studio.

"Is this out of my character or what?" Elle asked with a chuckle.

(Anyone)

Rai smiled. "But you look absolutely great."

"Thanks." Elle said with a smile. "Not sure how long I can keep this whole sex kitten act going on. So, I'm seizing the moment while it lasts."

"John will love it."

"I hope so. If he doesn't, I'll be embarrassed for life." Elle said as she walked off the set.

Rai walked over to her. "Trust me he isn't that hard to make happy."

Elle chuckled.

"Good point. Well then I guess he'll be overwhelmed by everything that I'm trying to do." She said.

"If he hates it I'll give him the AA."

"Give him one of those if he hates this and the car." Elle said. "Cause then we'll have a real problem."

"You got him a car?" Rai smiled. "I got Jeff a new dirtbike."

"I haven't gotten the car yet, it's on the extremely long list of things I need to do over the next month." Elle said. "Jeff's going to love that."

Rai nodded then bit her lip. "What all do you need to get done? I can help. Vince is pushing back Vixen's return."

Elle put her hand on her hip as she thought for a moment.

"I'm just trying to get narrow down my ideas." Elle said. "I want to throw him a party, debating on whether or not I'm popping out of a cake or doing a dance for him. I need to go car shopping, find a venue, get all the party plans together without him knowing, and all the other fun stuff that comes along with planning a surprise."

"I know...it's exhausting to think about." Elle said with a chuckle as grabbed her next outfit off of the clothes rack.

Rai smiled. "Well it's a good thing you know me. The car is a good question. Do you want a custom job? Popping out of the cake is actually one of John's fantasy. Only plan with people that John can't get anything out of. Venue? Have it at my place."

Elle walked behind an area that was set up for her to change.

"The car thing has me stuck. John and his cars is something that I'll never understand. Part of me wants to get him something new and fast, but the other parts wants me to stick the classics." Elle said. "And I guess I'm popping out of a cake...that should be interesting. Your place? Rai, I couldn't take over your house for a party for John. I wouldn't want to be a burden."

"Not a burden since I'm offering it. As far as his cars get him a fast new one with an old style classic look. I know a guy who does great work. He did my hummer."

"He won't really expect anything if we do it at your place. Plus from what Matt's told me it's big and gorgeous, so we can have it there. Thank you Rai." Elle said coming out a few minutes later in a red lingerie.

"I love that idea for the car. I'll definitely need to meet this guy." She said.

"Not a problem I'll get him to call you." Rai looked at her with a smile. "Damn!"

"Thanks." Elle said, looking down at herself when heard Rai's reaction. "What? I look like an idiot, don't I?"

"No you look great. If I was still in my experimenting faze I would definitely be fighting Flat Top for you."

"Experimenting phase?" Elle asked, raising an eyebrow as she walked back to the set. "Care to explain that one to me?"

Rai laughed. "It was college. Every girl was doing it."

Elle chuckled as she posed for the camera.

"It's okay, I won't judge. I've been there before." She said.

"Shocked the hell out of Dave and the rest of the guys." Rai leaned back and picked up a magazine. "So how is the Flat Top doing?"

Elle laughed as she turned around so that the photographer could take some photos of her looking over her shoulder.

"Flat Top is doing good. Got me in the ring a couple weeks ago to show me some moves. But haven't seen too much of him since then, work has him all over the place." Elle replied.
