A/N: Hello everyone! So sorry for the lack of updates. I had college finals this past week which I just finished. I am done with classes for this semester and actually done with classes for my Associates degree program so I should be graduating with my degree very soon! YAY! That's why there's been no updates, I've been busy focusing on schoolwork. However, that's over so now I have time to work on stories and you are in luck! I have the next chapter all ready for you guys! Are you guys ready to see if Paul will be able to convince Leyna to go on the date with him? Will he get the answer that he wants? Will Leyna change her tune? Read on and find out what happens. This is a rather long chapter...consider it as my apology for the long wait for the update. -jaydieB.

I was busy in the spare office finishing up a report that needed to be submitted to Accounting before Friday morning. Granted, it was only Tuesday evening and I had plenty of time, but I was an overachiever and I wanted to get it done. I didn't have anything else better to do. Paul was currently busy taping scenes for Smackdown in the other office so I had plenty of extra time. I was still relieved to have this extra time without him. The meeting before the Superstars tapings was brutal. It also didn't help that Stephanie was in the office. I mean, I knew that she was required to be in the meeting but still, I wasn't the biggest fan of hers and with the amount of times that Paul was looking at me during the meeting, I hoped that she didn't start thinking anything. As if on cue, I looked up at the monitor, and there was a scene with the Authority and Paul and Stephanie were talking to a wrestler named Dean Ambrose. Without thinking, I just tuned Stephanie out and focused on Paul. After the scene was over, I leaned back in my chair and laughed to myself. Even with me trying so hard not to focus on Paul, my mind wouldn't let me. Maybe I should just stop resisting and let him back in before my plan backfires and I lose him altogether.

I glanced down at my phone to check the time. It was time for the main event, which meant that it would almost be time for us to leave. I went back to my report and my phone buzzed again. This time it was an alert from my Calendar app. It meant that something on the calendar had changed. I opened the app and saw that instead of the large chunk of free time that Paul and I originally had after Smackdown, we now had an impromptu mandatory meeting that we needed to attend. I sighed and accepted the meeting. Something must have happened during the show that needed Paul's attention. This probably wasn't going to go well. I quickly finished up the report and doubled checked my figures and saved the file. I decided to submit it the next day. I went into the bathroom to make sure that I looked presentable for the meeting; after all I was a direct representation of Paul so I had to look my best. I finger-combed my hair out and retouched my lipstick. I went back to the desk and sat down and waited for Paul to come and get me for this meeting. About ten minutes later, I heard a knock on the door. The door opened and Paul entered the room.

"I see you got the alert?"

"Yup. Improptu meeting huh? Something bad must've happened for this."

"Yes, it seems like it."

"So, where are we having this one at? Same room at the meeting before the show?"

"Not exactly," Paul said as he started to gather his bags and pack things up.

"Okay, I don't understand,"

"It's okay. It's being held someplace else. But we have to get a move on, they are waiting for us." Paul opened the door and looked back to me. "You ready to go?"

"Um, yeah…let me get my bag ready. I'm sorry I thought we were having the meeting here."

"No problem." He waited as I gathered my tablet and laptop and packed them neatly away. I grabbed my bag and wheeled it behind me. "Alright, let's roll." I started to walk down the hall and I felt a hand on my lower back. I jumped slightly but felt comfortable.

"Why are you so jumpy?"

"I have no idea," I giggled. "I have no need to be, it's just a normal meeting."

"Right. Just a normal meeting."

Paul and I climbed into the awaiting limo and sped off to the location of the meeting. Any other time Paul would talk with me but this time, he remained silent. He would look up from his phone and gaze at me. When I would catch him, he would smile and then go back to his phone. I didn't think too much of it, perhaps he was talking with the people we were meeting with? I wasn't sure. I got comfortable and enjoyed the ride. The ride wasn't that long at all. As soon as I started to get comfortable, the limo stopped. Apparently we were at our meeting destination. The limo driver opened the door and Paul climbed out.

"Now, this is going to sound strange, but when you get out, close your eyes."

"You're right…it does sound weird. But okay." I agreed. Paul reached his hand out and I took it and climbed out of the limo with my eyes closed. I had no idea where I was at. Paul took my hand and we walked a little bit and then stopped.

"Okay, you can open your eyes now."

I opened them and took a look at where we were. My mouth dropped open. I was standing outside of Vin De Set, an amazing upscale, casual rooftop bar and bistro that served amazing classic French cuisine. I had only seen this place featured on Food Network. I had never in a million years dreamed that I would ever be here in person. As excited as I was that I actually standing mere feet from one of the places that I had always wanted to visit, I was quite upset with Paul for pretty much lying to me.

"Paul! What the hell is this?" I spun around and snapped.

"Well, from the looks of the sign, it says we are at Vin de Set."

I put my hands on my hips. "I know where we're at but why are we here? You said that we had a meeting that we needed to go to. I highly doubt that there is a meeting being held here."

"Okay, you're right. There is no meeting."

"Paul! Why did you lie to me? What's with the deceit?" I demanded.

"Okay, I did lie and kind of deceive you. But I have a good reason."

"I'm waiting to hear this good reason,"

"All is fair in love and war, right?" Paul asked

"Yes?" I answered, still confused and upset.

"Well, I felt that this was necessary so you could end the obvious war that you are fighting in your head and give us the opportunity to explore the love that for some reason you are denying." Paul reached for my hand to lead me into the restaurant. I was stunned by what he said that I absently took his hand and allowed him to lead me inside. Did Paul basically say that we were having this date in order to talk about if we were going to have a relationship? I shook the thought out of my head and marveled at the inside of the restaurant. We checked in and verified our reservation and was taken to our private table complete with candles and a vase of roses on the table.

"All of this, for me? You didn't have to do this." I said as I looked around in awe. This place was amazing.

"Yes, I did have to do this. You deserve this and so much more." Paul put his hand on top of mine and smiled.

"So, you said something about love and war…care to elaborate on that?" I asked.

"Gladly." A waitress came over and took our order. Paul got us a bottle of wine and some shrimp and bacon crepes to share. I raised an eyebrow. How did he know that I loved seafood? We waited to start talking until our wine came. The waitress poured us each a glass.

"Are we toasting to anything?" I asked

"Sure." Paul thought for a moment. "To the start of us," I looked at him with a puzzled look at we clinked glasses. I took a long sip. This was going to be an interesting, but needed date.

"To the start of us?" I asked.

"Well yes…but we need to get a few things figured out first. I noticed a change in you."

"A change?"

"Yes. All of a sudden you aren't interested in my flirting with you. What's going on? Are you not interested anymore?"

"No!" I said with emphasis. "Far from it. Paul, the truth is, I am very interested in you. I just don't know how you feel about me?"

"Is that so?" Paul questioned. "And why do you say that?"

"Well, I feel all that you do is just approach me in a sexual way. Don't get me wrong, I love that but…is that all that there is? Just sex and nothing more?" There. I said it. And it felt good.

"Leyna, let me put your mind at ease. Yes, I find you incredibly beautiful and sexy and I would love to have sex with you every single day and night. However, that isn't the only thing that I like or want from you. I feel more than just sexual feelings for you. To be completely honest with you, and that is the point of this date, I think I am falling in love with you, no scratch that. I am in love with you."

I couldn't speak. I was stunned. Did I just hear what I wanted to hear? Did Paul just say that he was in love with me? "You…you love me?"

"Yes Leyna. I love you."

"But, so soon?"

"I know what I'm feeling. I don't need years to make sure that I'm making the right decision."

"When did you know?"

"I was already intrigued when I read over your resume. It's damn impressive. Your education level is impressive, GPA is on point. Right there I was turned on by your intelligence and your drive to succeed and then when I met you for the first time that was the final proof that I needed. You were what I was looking for all this time, what I needed. You are that missing piece."

"I am?"

"Yes, Leyna, I told you that I'm in love with you. Now, the question is. Do you feel the same way for me?"

"I…"

"See, here's the problem," Paul said without letting me speak, his tone of voice changing. I sat back and let him continue; hoping that my hesitation hadn't ruining the evening. I took another long sip of wine. I had a feeling that this was going to be slightly brutal. "I thought that you did feel the same way, that you did love me back and everything was fine but then you changed and started putting up this wall. I couldn't deal with it. I want to put your mind at ease. I love you so you don't need to worry about that. I'm not going to change my mind on that. I know what I want and I want you. But Leyna, I need to know…do you feel the same way? Do you love me as well? Or are you for some reason afraid? Leyna, you have no reason to be afraid. I'm not one of your exes. I'm not some confused little boy. I'm a man. I know what I want."

I was thrilled to see the waitress arrive with our delicious looking crepes, but I was in no mood to eat at the moment. I took another long sip of wine and gathered my thoughts before I verbalized them. "I'm glad to hear to tell me that you love me. That does put my mind at ease. I was very worried that you didn't love me like that. Now, to answer your question. Paul, I do love you. I really do. I've been in two other relationships and I must say that you are making me feel things that I have never felt in those relationships. But, this is something very new and different for me in so many ways."

"How do you mean?" Paul asked as he cut a piece of the crepe. I thought he was going to eat it but he instead fed it to me. Hello butterflies in the stomach. Did he have to turn up the sweetness right now?

"Well, I've never been with or had sex with anyone that I've worked with. That was always a forbidden path for me. There is also a very large age difference and the fact that I've been hurt and screwed over before…"

"See, that's the thing. I have no intentions of hurting you in anyway. I would never hurt the woman that I love. And whoa…the age difference doesn't bother me at all. What was the song that was playing when I walked you to your car after your first day? Oh yeah, Age aint nothin' but a number?" Paul smiled

I couldn't help but smile. Damn him so much right now. "It is one of my favorite songs. I love R&B music."

"Good to know. And it speaks the truth. Leyna, in all seriousness. It is just a number. In the entire time that we have been together, your age has never crossed my mind. I don't care about it. All I care about is you and how you make me feel when I'm around you. And you make me feel love and happiness. Things I haven't felt in a while. So you can ease your mind on that one."

"Mind is at ease," I said as I cut a piece of the crepe and returned the favor by feeding a piece to him. I could tell that he wasn't expecting that from me but he was very happy that I did it.

"Okay, Leyna, I do have one further question. This one is very important and needs to established before we make anything official."

"What's that?"

"It has to do with Stephanie."

I almost choked on the wine that I drinking. "Stephanie?"

"Yes, I need to say this and I need to know what you're going to say. Now, I love you and you love me. We both want to be together. If we do go down this road and start a real relationship with each other, I need to know that when the shit hits the fan and Stephanie finds out, will you bail on me or will you trust me and stay by my side no matter what she tries to do or say. Basically, I need to know that your love for me is going to be unconditional and that no curveball that Stephanie tries to throw at you will deter you from loving me because its not going to deter me from loving you."

And there it was. It was all out in the open. Everything was there. All the cards were out on the table. It was time for me to make my move. What was I going to do? I had to admit, the Stephanie problem was nagging in the back of my mind. How would she react to Paul and I dating? Would she try and get me fired? Would she cause me hell every day at work? I looked into Paul's eyes as he waited for me to answer him. I had gotten the answer that I wanted, was I going to let some bitter ex really get in between something that we both really wanted and needed?

"Leyna?" Paul asked "Have you given it enough thought?"

"Yes I have."

"And?"

"I work for you, correct?"

"Yes, that's right."

"She has no say with anything that I do?"

"That's also correct."

"Then fuck what she says or thinks."

"Really?"

"Yes really. I'll be damned if I'm gonna let that bitter woman get in between what we have. If she even tries to, she has no idea who she is messing with."

"You're serious?"

"Yes Paul, I'm serious."

"Okay, great. Well, that's all that I really wanted to say. I do what to know if you want to make things official but I won't pressure you into anything. I want you to think about everything that we talked about and when you are ready to make a decision, you let me know, okay?"

"Sounds good."

"Alright, let's finish up this food and head back to the hotel." Paul and I devoured the crepes and finished off the bottle of wine. Everything was so delicious. I couldn't have asked for a better dinner or a better date. I had a lot to think about on the way back to the hotel.

We climbed back into the limo and got comfortable for the long ride back to the Four Seasons. Paul was busy on his phone, probably going through email messages and probably forwarding things to my account for me to handle tomorrow morning. I decided to just relax and reflect on everything that had happened. As I reflected, I noticed a familiar song start to play over the speakers in the limo. It was a song that I hadn't heard in a very long time. An R&B song by Mario, "Let me Love You". Music had never played in the limo before, so it was interesting that it started playing something now, and R&B at that. I sat there and listened to the song and the lyrics and reflected on them.

You should let me love you
Let me be the one to give you everything you want and need
Baby good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
Baby you should let me love you, love you, love you

I suddenly felt a hand on top of mine. I looked over and Paul was looking right at me with a smile on his face. I smiled back and he went back to his phone. Everything was finally falling into place for me. Our conversation at Vin de Set, Paul's words and now these lyrics; everything was making sense and clicking for me. Paul really did love me. I was over here acting like a damn fool earlier, allowing my past to cloud what was right in front of me this entire time. If I kept down that path, I could have ruined something absolutely incredible before it even started. I loved Paul, I really did. He was so different that the other guys that I dated, and not just because of the age. Paul was mature. He was focused. He had a career. He was basically everything that I was looking for and I just didn't know it. I knew what I needed to do. I gave Paul's hand a squeeze and suddenly felt the most calm and at peace in a long time.

We arrived at the Four Seasons about twenty minutes later. We climbed in the elevator and I instinctively grabbed onto Paul's arm as soon as the elevator started. Damn those things. I heard him chuckle a bit and he held me closer to him. I smiled and instantly felt safer. As if I needed more help with what I was going to say. We got off the elevator and walked hand in hand down the hallway to our room. Paul opened the door and sighed heavily. He wheeled his suitcase off to the side and started to get comfortable. I wheeled my suitcase next to his and backed up against the door. I watched Paul walked around and analyze the room to make sure housekeeping did a good job. It was now or never. I took a deep breath and exhaled.

"Okay, I'm ready."

Paul turned around and faced me. "I'm sorry?"

"I'm ready for there to be an us." I said with a smile. I watched Paul's face as he processed what I had said. Once he realized what I had said, a huge smile appeared on his face. He rushed over to me and wrapped me up into a hug.

"Leyna, I…." Paul started. "I…" He shook his head and lifted me up and carried me in his arms and into the bedroom. He laid me down gently and crawled up next to me. I thought he was going to say something to me but instead he removed my glasses and placed them on the side table. We looked at each other and exchanged no words. Our eyes said it all. I pulled Paul down to me and pressed my lips onto his. We had kissed before, but there was something about this kiss, it felt more electric, more passionate. I parted my lips and our tongues twirled together as once, the lingering taste of wine on our tongues. He broke the kiss only to attack my neck and collarbone with kisses and licks. I moaned softly as his tongue traced my collarbone. I felt his hand start to unbutton my suit jacket. He sat me up so I took take it off. My button-up shirt was next to go. I decided to be helpful and unhooked my bra and removed it while keeping eye contact. Paul growled gently as he laid me back down and sucked and licked on my right nipple while pinching my left. I tried to maneuver my hands in between our bodies to unbutton Paul's suit jacket. He got the hint and removed it for me as well as his tie. He went back to licking and sucking on my breasts and I clawed his shoulders and arms with my nails.

"Oh, Paul, please…"

"Yes, Leyna?" He asked as he looked up into my eyes

"I'm ready for you, please taste me…"

"Mmmm, is that so?" Paul kissed and licked his way down my stomach, gently nibbling my slight tummy pudge, keeping his eyes locked on mine.

"Why did you do that?" I giggled. "I hate my stomach."

"Shhh, I love your body. Every inch of it." Paul reached my skirt and slowly unzipped it and slid it down and off my legs and over my heels. "Well, you weren't kidding babe. You are ready for me. You're soaked."

"What can I say, you do things to me."

"I'm about to do some things to you," Paul slid my thong off and tossed it on the floor. He spread my legs and inhaled deeply. "You smell so delicious and sweet. Now I get to see if you taste the same" I instantly cried out with the first broad stroke of his tongue over my hot, wet folds. I dug my nails into the bedsheets with every stroke. "Mmmm, so sweet," He ran his tongue over my folds, then parted my lips and slide his tongue inside. I slammed my head into the pillow and cried out.

"Oh fuck Paul…shit…feels so good…ah….shit…mmmm yeah so good."

"Oh, you can do better than that, baby. Let me here you." Paul slid his fingers deep inside my wetness and flicked his tongue over my clit. I dug my heels into the bed and ran my hands over Paul's head guiding him to the right spots.

"Oh my God, Paul…please….I can't….so good. Can't take it….Fuck…."

"You can take it and you will take it. You're gonna cum all over my tongue, Leyna. Cum for me,." He went back to sliding his tongue inside of me, fucking me with it, his thumb rubbing my clit.

"Oh God…Oh Paul…I'm so close…fuck….don't stop…oh God…please….." He didn't stop, he kept going. His tongue thrusts were faster, his thumb rubs were quicker. I squeezed my thighs around Paul's head and grabbed a bunch of sheets in my fists. "Oh fuck…Paul, I'm cumming Oh God, I'm…oh shit!" I cried out. My body shook as I literally felt myself orgasm and cum. It took a good minute and a half for me to finally come down from my high and somewhat relax. I felt Paul lick me clean. I opened my eyes and saw him remove his pants and underwear. I also noticed that he was putting on a condom, something that he didn't do any other time.

"A condom?" I asked as I tried to catch my breath.

"Yes. We are just starting and establishing a relationship…I don't think a baby is needed at least right now…or are you on birth control?"

"I am. I'm good for three years. But if you want to still wear one, I'm okay with that. Safe is better than sorry."

"You got that right,"

"Okay, now that we have that out of the way, get your sexy self over here and come and please your woman."

"You don't have to tell me twice," Paul crawled up to me and draped my legs over his shoulders. He gave me no time to brace myself before he slid all of those 9.5 inches deep inside of me. I instantly cried out as I adjusted to the width and length. "Mmm, damn Leyna. You feel so good. So wet and so tight."

"And its all for you."

"You damn right its all for me. You are mine." Paul said with a hard thrust.

"Yes baby, Its all for you and I am all yours." I moaned out. Paul growled and continued with the hard thrusts. I managed to match his rhythm and felt waves of bliss flow through my body.

"I love how flexible you are, this position is so good," Paul said as he kissed my leg.

"You can thank a few years of gymnastics for that."

"Thank you, Gymnastics." Paul said as he dropped my legs down.

"You want me on my hands and knees again?" I asked preparing myself to get into position

"No, you just lay right there. That's not what this is about tonight." Paul laid me back down and climbed on top of me. "You ready for me?"

"Yes please,"

"Please, huh? Baby, you don't have to beg." He slid into me and I instantly cried out. He pressed his lips onto to mine silencing my moans. I dug my nails into Paul's shoulders as I wrapped my legs around his waist and matched his thrust pattern. "Mmmm, you feel so good, Leyna. You want me to go a little faster?"

"Yes, please," I managed to cry out.

"I don't think you'll be able to handle it,"

"Damn it, Paul! Please…" I demanded.

"Mmm, there's my girl." Paul took my hands and placed them on the headboard of the bed. "Keep your hands here." I nodded and cried out loudly as Paul slammed into me with no warning. I wanted to claw at his shoulders, grip his arms, something but I couldn't. I gripped the headboard, my nails digging into the wood as Paul pounded into me. I squeezed my eyes shut and cried out and moaned.

"Oh my God, Paul please…I can't…oh Fuck…."

"Are you close, Leyna…"

"I'm so close….I just…oh fuck…I can't…I Oh God!"

"Open your eyes, Leyna." I slowly opened my eyes and was greeted with Paul's face, slightly covered in sweat. "I love you, Leyna. I love you so much."

Hearing Paul tell me that he loved me at that moment was too much for me to handle. "I love you too, Paul…and I…oh God…I" Paul pressed his lips onto mine as if he knew exactly what was going to happen. I felt my muscles tighten and I came and came. During my second orgasm wave, I also felt Paul as he came with me. He broke the kiss and rolled off to the left of me and wrapped me in his arms.

"Did that really just happen?" I asked as I tried to catch my breath.

"What's that?"

"Did we actually cum at the same time?"

"Yes we did. Felt amazing, didn't it?"

"I don't think amazing is the right word. I don't think there is a right word to describe what's going on right now. Everything is just amazing and feels so right. When you looked at me and told me you loved during that intimate moment…I couldn't take it. I guess that was the same for you too?"

"Exactly the same, Leyna. Everything just came full circle. All the emotions, everything I felt for you was sealed at the moment when you told me you loved me." Paul leaned over and gave me another kiss.

"Dare I say, was this the best sex we've had?"

"I wouldn't say the best, I would say sex as an official couple and it was incredible"

"An official couple," I repeated the words and replayed it in my mind. An official couple. Paul and I were an official couple. We were in a real relationship. "I really love the way that sounds."

"You know what else sounds really good?" Paul asked

"What's that?"

"You snuggling up all close to me, pulling this blanket over us and getting some sleep."

I smiled as I moved closer and cuddled up closer to Paul. He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close to him. He grabbed the blanket and pulled it over our bodies. He reached over and turned the light off.

"Goodnight, Leyna. I love you."

"Goodnight, my Game. I love you too."

"My Game, huh?"

"Yes, that's right. You are My Game. All mine."

"I like the way that sounds."

A/N: So, what do you guys think of what went down? Everything is out in the open and they have confessed their love for each other! Do you like how everything played out? Is there anything you would like to see happen for them? Also, we need a pet name /cute couple name that Paul can call Leyna. I'm open to suggestions. Again, I hope you guys loved this latest chapter. Please leave those comments and reviews and I will work on the next chapter soon! :) -jaydieB.
