Familiar Territory

Paul Lloyd, more commonly known as Justin Gabriel, walked from the dressing room of the studio. He wrapped one hand around his wrist, adjusting the cuff links of the white suit his wearing.

He grinned as he passed by a few people who were working on the set of this photoshoot for Calvin Klein. It had been a long time since Justin had ever done a photoshoot of this caliber, and he hoped that all the feeling and memories of what to do would coming back soon.

"Paul! There you are!" the photographer said as he rushed next to Justin, "We're going to shoot you in several things, starting with the outerwear, working to the premier of Mr. Klein's new underwear line." he said quickly, addressing the schedule for the day. "You should remember the routine, it hasn't changed since the last time we worked together" he laughed as he turned to leave, "The photoshoot starts in 15" he added before he was out of site.

Justin chuckled in place, Well that's good then. No change. he thought quietly.

"Maybe I won't look so stupid after all." he mistakenly said aloud, turning to find a chair, but stopped when someone with a smile stood in his way.

Rai smiled at someone she hadn't seen in a while. She decided to call him by his ring name. "Justin Gabriel."

He looked up to see Raina, "Yeah?"

"Don't remember me do you?" Rai asked with a sigh.

"No. No I don't think so" he says, his South African accent strong in his speech "Sorry"

Rai smiled. "It's ok. I'm Rai Bautista. I'm the Animal's little sister. I'm doing stuff for the women's line."

"Nice to meet you" Justin greeted.

"Same here." Rai said with a smile. She looked around. "It's been awhile since I've done anything like this."

"Yeah. Me too" he said.

"I'm actually supposed to have a partner. For the inter-gender shoot.' he announces.

"Allison Skipper is her name" he said, "Heard of her?"

Rai shook her head. "Not that I can think of. I've been gone for awhile on hiatus. The only reason I know who you are is because you are mentoring under my boyfriend's brother and I used to watch when you were doing WWP." Rai said as she waited for them to decide what she was going to wear first.

"Oh, well then I guess I'll be surprised then" he said, "So you've seen me as PJ Black" he chuckles.

"Well surprise" Allison said as she made her way over.

"I'm assuming your Paul" she said extending her hand.

Rai nodded. "Yep."

"That makes me feel special" he chuckled, "That I've already gotten noticed without debuting yet"

"Why hello there" he grinned taking her hand to shake, "I'm.. well you know that" he laughed.

Rai laughed and shook her head. "I try to learn about the Superstars and Divas who interest me." Rai said as she waited. "Raina we're ready for you to change." Rai sighed. "Why am I modeling again?" She muttered to herself and went to change into the outfit.

"Thanks" he said towards Raina.

"So Chelsea, are you ready for our photoshoot?" he asked.

Rai looked at her reflection a little nervous about the dress. It was shorter then what she was used to. She stepped out slowly and walked back towards Chelsea and Justin.

Chelsea smiled, looking over Justin from head to toe.

She bit her bottom lip, "Definitely, especially now. Seeing the eye candy I get to work with."

Justin chuckled, "If you aren't a bold woman"

"But thank you." he added, "If you like what you see now, just wait, cause eventually I'll be wearing less"

Angel walked into the room. She spotted Chelsea.
"Chelsea!" Angel began running over to her "This is from Desmond." Angel finished passing Chelsea an envelope.

"Thank you" she said, grabbing the envelope.

"He never said what it was. I was waiting for AJ and he just said it was urgent." Angel said. She looked over at Justin and smiled. "Hey, not seen you around the locker room."

"It's probably more money" Chelsea smiled.

"I haven't debuted yet" he said to her. "Hence why I'm taking these modeling jobs when I get them"

"Oh, well if it's not to bold to say, you're pretty cute, you should get the job no problem." Angel flattered.

Justin smiled, laughing nervously.

"Thank you" he said.
