A/N Sorry for the delay...here is the latest chapter of Triple Threat.

Sami's POV

Saturday Night

'Take a deep breath, Zayn. Everything will be fine.' I said to myself as I paced back and forth my apartment. Tonight was the night I had been waiting for. I was going to go on my date with the lovely Leyna McDaniels. As badly as I was looking forward to the evening, I was still worried about what could go wrong. Adrian's words still haunted my thoughts. Yeah, we were friends but Adrian could be a cutthroat bastard when he wanted to and this time he wanted to. Bringing up Merissa like that was uncalled for but I was still very proud of myself for the comeback that I had given him. That and I had called Liz yesterday to go over everything once more. She gave me a pep talk and assured me that everything was going to be fine. I shook the negative thoughts out of my head and walked over to the mirror to make sure that I looked good I had chosen a nice black shirt and a pair of jeans to wear. I of course had to throw on my signature newsboy hat. Nothing overly fancy but I still wanted to look nice. I glanced at the clock and saw that it was almost time for me to go so I could pick up Leyna. I ran to my room, sprayed a little cologne on and grabbed my keys and the slip of paper that I had written Leyna's address on. 'You got this, Zayn. Everything is going to turn out great.'

I arrived outside Leyna's condo about 15 minutes later. I was surprised to know that she didn't live too far from me. I grabbed my phone and selected her name to call and tell her that I was here. Seeing Leyna's cute selfie that she took weeks before at Kenzie's gave me a warm feeling. This had to work. There was no other option. "Hello?" I heard her voice and I instantly got a warm feeling inside.

"Yes, I am here to pick up a gorgeous young lady and take her out for a wonderful evening." I said in a nice haughty upper-class voice.

"Oh! Well, let me come out there so we can get going!" Leyna said. I could hear her smile through the voice. Once she hung up, I instantly became nervous again. I took a deep breath and looked up to see Leyna walking out of her condo. I was in awe of her beauty. She had on a red V neck top that fit just right and showed just enough cleavage. The dark blue jeans she wore were amazing. Showed off her amazing curves and hung low and just right. Her black and red hair was styled in soft wavy curls that framed her face. I was in love...more so than I already was. I got out and opened the door for her. Her perfume was intoxicating; I caught hints of orange blossom. "Wow! Leyna, you look…Amazing...beyond amazing." I stammered 'Ugh! Get a grip, Zayn!'

"Aw, thanks, Sami." Leyna smiled as she climbed into my car. I watched her get comfortable and take a look around. I made sure to freshen up the inside of my car earlier in the day. Bonus points for me. Once she was in, I shut her door and went to my side and climbed in.

"You ready to go?"

"Yes I am." Leyna smiled. I smiled back at her and sped off to our destination.

"Am I allowed to know where we are going yet? I hope that I am dressed correctly." Leyna said

"You are dressed just fine. But I can't tell you where we are going. It is a surprise."

"You are going all out for me, huh?"

"You will have to wait and see." Leyna and I had small talk during the drive to the date destination. She was such a blast to talk to. Not overly girly too. She relaxed a bit when she found out that I was not turned off by her Sailor's Mouth. To be honest, I kind of found it hot. I turned the corner and arrived at our date destination: The Oasis Hotel.

"Here we are." I said as I parked the car. I got out and opened Leyna's door for her. I watched her face as she tried to figure out what this place had to do with our date.

"We are having our date in a hotel?" Leyna asked

"No, no we are not." I said as I took Leyna's hand in mine and led her into the hotel.

"We are eating in the restaurant in the hotel?"

"Nope."

Leyna looked at me with a confused look on her face. "I'm confused."

"No need for that, it will all make sense shortly." I nodded at the front desk clerk whom I had already talked to earlier to get everything planned. She nodded and pointed me to the elevators. "Right this way, Miss McDaniels." I said.

Leyna and I got into the elevator and I pressed the button all the way to the very top. Once it started going up, I felt Leyna squeeze my hand slightly. She must have been afraid of elevators. I held her a little closer as I watched the numbers climb higher and higher. A few moments later, we had reached the destination for our date. "Close your eyes, Leyna." She closed her eyes and I led her out to where our date was to be held. I opened the door and led her out to the rooftop of the hotel. Our date was a romantic candle lit rooftop dinner for two under the stars. I had waiters up there to serve us and I even had a musician playing soft guitar music. I stood behind Leyna and put my hands on her shoulders. "Open your eyes," Once she opened her eyes, I heard her gasp in surprise.

"Sami!" she gasped in awe. "This…this is absolutely amazing! You didn't have to do all of this for me."

"Yes I did. You are amazing and special and you deserve an amazing and special date." I walked us over to our table and pulled out Leyna's chair. Our waiter poured us each a glass of wine and told us that our meals would be ready shortly.

"My God, Sami! This is amazing!"

"I am so glad that you are enjoying this."

"How could I not?" Leyna looked up at the sky "The sky is so clear and bright! So many stars."

"Gorgeous night with a gorgeous woman." I said reaching across the table and gently holding Leyna's hand.

"You are too sweet." Leyna smiled as she took a sip of her wine. "Well, since we have some time before our meal gets here, is there anything that you would like to know about me?"

"Well, let me be lame, where are you from?"

"That's not lame. You have to know the basics about someone." Leyna laughed "I am from Atlanta, Georgia but I wasn't born there."

"Oh? Where were you born?"

"I was born in Edmonton."

I almost choked on my sip of wine. There was no way. "Edmonton? As in Edmonton, Alberta Canada?"

"Yeah, that's right. I am Canadian. Well, Canadian-American but yeah."

"May I ask one more question and then you can ask me one." I asked.

"Of course, Sami."

"How did a gorgeous and intelligent woman like you get into wrestling?"

"Oh, that's an easy question. It all has to do with my Papa. My grandpa was in the Navy when he was younger and he was a tough guy. Always picking fights with people and getting sent to the brig. He was strong and people just liked to challenge him. When he was done with the Navy, he met up with someone that was huge in Canada for wrestling, they became really good friends and he got my grandpa into wrestling. That guy was Stu Hart, by the way. Anyway, after my grandpa was done with wrestling, he would still watch it all the time. When I lived with him, we would always watch it together. He saw that I was interested in learning so he called Stu up and had me work in the Dungeon at times to learn moves. They both said that I had skills and that I should look into maybe becoming a wrestler, the rest is history."

I was in awe. "Wait, your grandfather was friends with Stu Hart? The Stu Hart?"

"Yeah! They were great friends."

"Wow, that is amazing. Does that mean you know how to do a Sharpshooter?" I laughed

"Yeah I can do it. But I won't be doing it when I debut. I have another idea for a submission." Leyna laughed. "Okay, I answered your two questions. My turn. Where are you from?"

"Well, we have something in common. I am from Montreal."

Leyna almost choked on her wine. "No way! You're from Montreal?"

"Yeah. Is that a bad thing?"

"No!" Leyna said quickly. "It's just…I always wanted to visit Montreal. It was a dream of mine. My grandpa and I were supposed to take a trip to Montreal one day, but it never happened."

"May I ask why?" I asked cautiously.

"He, um got really sick. He passed away a few months ago."

Damn. Why did I ask her that? "Oh God, Leyna. I am so sorry. I wish I didn't ask you that."

"Sami, no. Don't be upset at all. It's OK. I promise. He would always tell me such great things about Montreal and I just always wanted to visit there."

"Well, I don't mean to come off too strong or anything but, during our next decent break, when I head back home, I would love to take you with me." I downed my wine quickly. I couldn't believe what I had just said.

"Sami, I would love to come with you. I just don't want to be a bother to you or anything."

"Leyna, you would never be a bother to me. I would be honored and I would love to have you be with me."

"Well, in that case, I would love to come with you to Montreal."

"I was hoping you would say that. The next time we get time off, pack your bags, you are coming with me."

The smile on Leyna's face was amazing. I had made her so happy. We made a little more small talk before the waiters brought out our dinner. From talking to Liz, I knew exactly what to have for dinner. The waiters brought out roasted lobster tails and shrimp scampi skewers over wild rice. The look on Leyna's face let me know that I had made the right choice.

"Sami! This is a wonderful dinner! How did you know that I love seafood?"

"Lucky guess?'

"Well you are doing a damn good job." Our conversation halted slightly as we indulged ourselves on the amazing dinner. After our dinner and two more glasses of wine, Leyna and I left the table and walked over to the side of the hotel to look out at the beautiful night scene. The city looked amazing at night. I stood behind Leyna and held her close as we looked at the view. I glanced over at the guitar player and nodded at him. He changed the tune of the music and played a soft song that would be perfect to dance to.

"Leyna, may I have this dance?"

"Of course," Leyna smiled. I took her hand and led her over to a free area on the rooftop. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her to me as we slowly danced together. The mix of my cologne and her perfume was perfect. Everything about this night was perfect. Leyna gazed into my eyes and smiled at me….and then I stepped on her foot. "Ouch!" Leyna cried out.

"Oh! Damn it, I am so sorry, Leyna. Are you okay?" I asked. 'Good going, Zayn! Step on her foot. You clumsy oaf!'

"I'm fine, Sami." Leyna laughed.

"I'm sorry…I haven't been on a date in a long while…haven't done much dancing…I…" And now I was stammering all over the place. Sami the Awkward…yep, there he is.

"Sami, it's fine. I'm tough. You and your two left feet aren't going to hurt me." Leyna laughed. I laughed and started to relax again. She was amazing. I had to do it. It was now or never. The mood was right and the wine was going to help me. I moved a strand of her black and red hair away from her face, leaned forward and planted a kiss on Leyna's soft lips. I felt her body relax and pressed herself into me and returned the kiss. The taste of the wine on her tongue was intoxicating, her strawberry lip gloss, so sweet. I broke the kiss and watched Leyna's face for some sort of sign. Leyna gazed at me, bit down on her bottom lip and motioned me to head back to the table. I took her hand and we walked over to the table. I thought Leyna was going to sit down but instead she pushed me into my chair. I watched as Leyna proceeded to sit on my lap and wrap her arms around my neck. "Kiss me again, Sami."

"With pleasure," I pulled Leyna to me and kiss her deeply. I had been waiting for this moment ever since I first saw Leyna. I wanted to just be with her and kiss her and now it was happening. Her lips were so soft and I gave her bottom lip little nibbles. She moaned softly every time I did. Ugh, her moans. Every time she moaned, I felt myself grow harder and it didn't help that she was straddled on my lap. I was getting so worked up. I ran my fingers up and down her back, savoring her whimpers. I tugged on her shirt, wanting to pull it off of her. Leyna's hands were busy doing the same to my shirt, she wanted it off. I seriously hoped the waiters were gone and the guitar player wasn't paying attention. "Leyna," I managed to say during a break in the kissing.

"Shhh, it's okay Sami. I want this. I want you." Leyna started to pull her shirt up and over her head. My words got caught in my throat. She looked so sexy sitting on my lap in her pink and black bra; her heaving breasts begging me to let them free so I could play with them…and oh, how I wanted to play with them. Leyna leaned forward and kissed me again. This time, there was such passion behind the kiss. She was worked up and ready for me. I began to reach around and unhook her bra but something in my head stopped me. I couldn't do this with Leyna. As badly as I wanted to, I could not bring myself to having sex with her on the first date.

"Leyna, I can't do this." I said as I broke the kiss.

"Sami?" Leyna asked, her eyes full of question and a little hurt.

"Leyna, I want you badly, I really do…but I can't do this with you…not right now."

"Oh," Leyna climbed off of my lap and went back to her seat. She slowly put her top back on and looked away and drank her wine in silence. I felt awful. I could just tell by the look on her face that she was upset and hurt by what I had said. I opened my mouth to say something but I had a feeling that no matter what I would say, it wouldn't help the situation. I had ruined the date. Good going, Zayn. I might as well put a bow on Leyna's head and deliver her to Adrian because I had fucked up royally.

"Do you want anything more to drink?" I asked. God, it felt so awkward to talk to her now.

"Nope." She said shortly.

"Want to dance a little more?"

"No."

"Want me to drive you back home?" I already knew the answer

"Yes." Leyna stood up and walked over to the door to get off the rooftop. This was going to be a very painful drive back to Leyna's place. I got up to follow Leyna out and she made sure to walk ahead of me, not wanting me close to her at all. Even in the elevator, where I was sure she would want to stand close to me, she stood away from me, her arms crossed over her body. I sighed heavily as we walked to my car. I opened her door for her and she slid in without looking at me. I closed the door and headed to my side, not looking forward to the drive home at all.

We drove in silence; painful awkward silence and it was all my fault. I looked over at Leyna but she was either looking out the window or looking down at her phone. I had to try and make this right.

"Leyna, look…I wanted to explain about what happened back there,"

"You don't need to, Sami." Leyna said quickly.

"Yes I do, look just let me explain and then you will understand-"

"Sami," Leyna held her hands up and cut me off 'You don't need to say or explain anything. I get it. I understand completely."

"I don't think you do,"

"Whatever." Leyna sighed and went back to her phone. I clenched my jaw and tried to keep the frustration and anger I was feeling from boiling over. I remained silent and continued the awkward drive to Leyna's. I reached her place about five minutes later. I pulled over to the curb and cut the engine.

"Leyna, will you please talk to me?" I pleaded

"There is nothing more to say, Sami. You made everything clear earlier." Leyna snapped. I noticed her reach for the door handle. I quickly unbuckled my seatbelt and grabbed her on the shoulder.

"Leyna, please. Don't do this."

"Let go of me."

"Can I get a kiss goodbye?"

Leyna narrowed her eyes at me and shoved my hand off of her shoulder. "No, you can't." She stared at me and I could see her eyes start to fill with tears.

"Leyna, I'm sorry," I said softly

"Save it." I saw a tear fall down her cheek. Leyna wiped it away quickly and opened the door. She slammed it behind her and ran up the sidewalk and into her house. I sat there in disbelief and anger. I ruined everything and the worse thing? I had made her cry. The only reason that I told her no was out of respect for her and somehow, it turned into something negative and now Leyna was furious with me and would probably never want to talk to me again.

"Fuck!" I yelled as I slammed by head into my headrest in sheer frustration. I started the car and sped off down the road and to my house. As I drove, I could still smell the faint scent of her perfume. Now I wanted to cry.

A/N Poor Sami! He was trying to do the right thing and it just blew up in his face! What do you think is going to happen next? Will Leyna forgive Sami or will Adrian interfere? Comment and review! :)
