Paul's POV

Sunday Night

San Antonio, TX

I didn't want to leave Leyna…I truly didn't. All I could think about on the 3 ½ hour flight to San Antonia was her face and her words. I couldn't have asked for a more understanding and loving woman to have in my life. I smiled as I remembered our night together and just how good it felt to be with Leyna, in her apartment and just not do anything…just sit there and hold her; watch TV with her, give her kisses and wrap her in my arms. I couldn't agree with her more, I wanted that all the time. It was going to happen, there was no doubt about that, but the problem was that I had no clue how long the process was going to be dragged out. I didn't want to think about her or that issue any longer. I quieted my mind and thought only about Leyna and tried to get a little rest on the flight, considering as soon as I landed and after I unloaded my things at the hotel, I would be spending a little time with my best friend Shawn. I couldn't wait to hear what he was going to say once I told him about the new addition in my life.

After I arrived and made it to the hotel to unload my things, I climbed into my rental car and started my drive down to Shawn's place. I had been meaning to talk to Shawn more but it had never worked out. With us being in his hometown, I had no excuse. I gave him a call and told him that I was going to stop by. He was excited and ready to catch up. Heh, if he only knew. While I was stopped at a light, my cellphone buzzed. I glanced over and saw that I had a text message and it was from Leyna. I smiled as I reached over and grabbed my phone, I unlocked it and noticed that it was a photo message. I smirked as I opened the message.

Always thinking about My Game…your Lioness is down to play.

The picture that she had sent along with the message instantly made me wish that she was here with me. She was lying in bed wearing nothing but a flirtatious smile. I sent her back a quick but appropriate response and tossed my phone back in the seat as the light changed. I continued on and reached Shawn's house about 10 minutes later. I parked my car along the curb and climbed out. I walked up the walkway and saw the front door open and Shawn appear in the doorway with a big smile on his face.

"There's the man of the hour!"

"Hey man! Good to see you!" I said giving Shawn a hug. "How've you been?"

"I'm doing great. You?"

"I'm hanging in there. How's Rebecca and the kids?"

"Doing great. They're asleep so we're gonna have to head down to the man cave and hang out. I'm sure you won't mind."

"Not at all."

"Great. So, how's everything with you and Stephanie?" Shawn asked with caution in his voice.

"Heh, funny you should ask that."

"What do you mean?" Shawn questioned

"Let's head down to the mancave and then I will tell you all about that…and a new addition into my life."

Shawn and I made our way downstairs and into his mancave. We grabbed something to drink and then got comfortable.

"New addition to your life? I thought you and Stephanie were getting a divorce."

"I'm working on it,"

"Okay, so why in the hell are you two having another baby? You still trying for that boy or something?" Shawn laughed

"No! Not that kind of new addition!" I shuddered at the thought. I didn't want to even look at Stephanie let alone have another baby with her.

"Okay, then you guys got a puppy?"

"Shawn, you idiot. No! This has nothing to do with Stephanie."

"Okay, I'm stumped. What is this new addition?"

"Well, I've met someone."

"Oh really?" Shawn asked, growing more interested.

"I sure did."

"What's her name?"

"Leyna McDaniels,"

"Hot name. So, where did you meet her?"

"And this is where things get difficult,"

Shawn raised an eyebrow at me "How so?"

"Leyna is my Executive Personal Assistant at work."

Shawn sputtered and coughed on his drink. "She's your what? You're dating your assistant."

"Yeah I am. Don't give me that look, Shawn. She makes me incredibly happy…you have no idea."

"Okay, okay, if she makes you happy then I guess that's what matters. How old is she?"

"25."

"Twenty-five?! Damn, Paul! Banging your assistant and she's a young one. You don't mess around do you?"

"Nope, not at all. So,"

"So what?"

"I want to know what you think, man. That's part of the reason that I wanted to come and see you. You're my best friend and you know what I've been going through. I want to know what you think of the whole situation with me and Leyna."

Shawn set his drink down and started to think. I started to get a little nervous but I was confident that Shawn wasn't going to say anything too harsh about our relationship. After all, he knew better than anyone about how miserable I was during the last few years being married to Stephanie.

"Okay, you want to know what I think about you and this Leyna?"

"Yeah I do."

"Okay, first of all, the whole age difference thing, doesn't bother me at all. I couldn't care less. Age is a number. If she makes you happy and you make her happy, then so be it."

"I'm glad to hear you say that."

"I do have a question. Is she fully aware of the Stephanie situation? Oh how she is refusing to sign the papers?"

"Oh, she knows. I attempted to get her to sign the papers last week and Stephanie blew up in both of our faces. Before we started down this path, I asked her straight up if she was going to stand with me throughout this entire Stephanie mess and she promised me that she would. I have no reason not to believe her."

"Okay, I am glad to hear that she is going to stick around for the long haul because know Steph the way we both know Steph, she isn't going to give up that easily, especially now if she suspects there's a new, younger woman taking her place? Sorry to say, Paul but you are going to have a long, drawn out fight on your hands. I sincerely hope that Leyna does stay with you during it."

"She will. I told you I am not worried about that."

"Alright…alright. Here is where I am concerned. First off, does Leyna know about your girls? Is she okay with them?"

I frowned. I realized that Leyna and I hadn't really talked a lot about my daughters. I mean, I was pretty sure that she knew that I had children but we never really talked about them. This was a little concerning considering it was going to be time for me to take the girls for a while. "Well, she knows that I have children, yes but that's as far as it has gone."

"Well, I think you need to get that part addressed and fast. Do you think she is okay with children?"

"I don't see why she wouldn't be."

"When you get the girls, will Leyna be around?"

"I don't know, maybe."

"You may want to think about that…how the girls are going to handle that situation. I would take that part very slowly with them. I'm not trying to scare you or anything but I would make sure that everything is straightened out beforehand."

"Noted. What's your next concern?"

"Before I state that, I want to know something about you two."

"Yes?"

"Do you see a future with this girl? And don't give me that look, you know what I am talking about."

"Why are you asking that?" I asked.

"Okay, here me out before you grab your sledgehammer and hit me in the back. I'm concerned about Leyna's position in the company."

"Her position in the company? What do you mean?"

"Okay, let's say that you guys are in this for the long haul and you decide to marry this girl. Do you think that she is strong enough to be able to deal with being married to a semi-retire wrestler and more importantly, you're second in line to the WWE throne. That is a huge responsibility and there's going to be a lot of travel that goes along with that, travel that she won't be able to come along with you with all the time."

"Let me stop you there, Leyna travels with me just about everywhere. And we've already dealt with me traveling someplace and her not coming along."

"And how did that go?"

"Well," I hesitated

"How did it go, Paul?"

"Okay, initially when she found out, she was very upset but you have to understand, I told her this the following morning after we had pretty much committed ourselves to each other so she was at an emotional state of being already. Once I calmed her down and explained everything, she was fine and we got through it just fine."

"Do you see my hesistation and concern then? Paul, if she is getting all emotional and whiny perse and she's just your girlfriend, what's going to happen if you decide to marry her? Is she going to be a whiny and nagging wife when you have to travel without her?"

"Shawn, I-"

"Just because she's been doing okay thus far doesn't mean that's going to continue." He said sternly.

I looked at my dear friend and processed everything that he had said to me. All of his concerns were valid and I could see why he asked them. He just wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to get hurt or screwed over again.

"Okay, Shawn. I need to explain somethings to you about me and Leyna."

"Go ahead,"

"Leyna and I have dealt with a lot during our time together. We've gone out on a few dates and had good conversation. Hell, before coming here, I spend the night at her place and when we got up in the morning, we spend almost the whole day in her living room, cuddled up and just being together. It felt incredible just to be with her in that way. So far, all we have had was our time together at work and at different hotels but never at one another's hourse. And being with Leyna, in that way, away from all the stress…I gotta tell you it felt right and perfect. I wanted to have days like that with Leyna over and over. The more time we spend together the deeper our love and commitment grows. Shawn, I am not worried about Leyna growing more whiny or nagging as we go along...if anything I feel that we are going to fall more in love with each other, if that's even possible."

Shawn looked at me as he processed what I had said. He nodded before finally speaking "I watched your facial reactions and your body language when you told me that about you and Leyna. You are so passionate about your relationship with her."

"Yes, Shawn. I am. She has made me the happiest I have been in such a long time. Honestly, the only problem in our relationship has nothing to do with us. Everything else is great."

"I am happy to hear it. I deserve to be happy and it sounds like Leyna may be the one."

"There is no may be the one. She is the one."

"Well, in that case. I approve."

"She will be thrilled to know that."

"What do you mean?" Shawn laughed

"When I told her that I was going to meet you, she was very worried. She wanted you to like her since you're an important part of my life."

"She said that?"

"Pretty much. She was worried that you wouldn't accept her."

"Well, whenever you meet up with her, you tell her that she is accepted by me."

"She's going to be so happy to hear that!"

"Actually, you know what? Before you both leave from here, I want to meet this Leyna. Us three are going to grab something to eat."

"Seriously?"

"Of course. I think its only fair that I meet my best friend's girlfriend."

"Yeah, you have a point there."

"And who knows, if you play your cards right, you might be able to finally get that baby boy that you've been wanting for so long."

"Seriously, Shawn?" I laughed

"What? It could happen."

I shook my head and tried to play off Shawn's statement but deep down, a part of me wondered if that would be in our future? I always wanted to have a baby boy. What if I would finally be able to have that but with Leyna? What if everything that had gone wrong would finally go right with her?

Shawn and I talked for a little while longer before I decided to leave and head over to my hotel room. When I arrived back to my room, I quickly got comfortable and climbed in bed. I sighed heavily and looked over at the empty other side of the bed, silently wishing that Leyna was lying there next to me. I realized what I was thinking about and I started to laugh. I guess I knew how Leyna felt when I wasn't around her. It did really suck but I had to remember that she would be here in the morning and we would be together again. I decided to send her a quick goodnight message before I drifted off to sleep. I grabbed my phone and went to Leyna's contact.

Lying here in bed, wishing you were here next to me. Can't wait to see you in the morning. Your Game loves you.

I hit send and put my phone back on the side table. I grabbed the remote and turned the television off and started the process of getting comfortable. Soon, my phone started to buzz. I guess someone was still awake.

Forget the hotel bed. I'd rather have you in my bed again. Roar! Your Lioness loves her Game. Her King of Kings. See you in the morning, baby.

I smiled and put my phone back. It was moments like this that Shawn didn't see or know about. These moments assured me that Leyna was in this for the long run and I had nothing to worry about.

Monday Morning

I had gotten up early and gotten a workout in before heading to the AT&T center where RAW would be held tonight. I wanted to get everything ready and settled in my office before I went off to go pick Leyna up from the airport. According to our calendar app, she had made the flight on time and was en route to arrive right on schedule. As I reached the limo and climbed in, I was overcome with happiness. For some reason, I just couldn't wait to see Leyna today. I didn't even care about whether or not I could be on camera with Stephanie. As long as I was with Leyna, nothing else mattered.

The limo arrived at San Antonio International and I climbed out and made my way to the gate where I knew Leyna would be coming out of. She wasn't expecting me to be here to greet her, I just said that I was going to have a limo pick her up. I had neglected to say that I would be here as well. I had even asked the driver to stop by a flower shop so I could pick Leyna up a bouquet of pink roses with cherry blossoms. I stood outside of the gate and watched through the window as her plane landed. I watched as people started to file out of the plane. I waited a few more moments and then, there she was. I knew I had a big stupid smile on my face but I didn't care. She had no idea that I was there waiting for her and she wasn't paying any attention to the people standing outside the gate. She rolled her carryon bag behind her as she made her way through all of the people. She was heading for the baggage claim and still hadn't noticed that I was there. I laughed to myself and grabbed my phone. There was an easy fix for this.

Hey. Stop where you are and look up.

I sent the message and watched as she reached for her phone to check the message she had just received. Leyna stopped and looked up and around and saw me smiling right at her. The smile on her face made my heart swell. Surprise, babe. Your Game is here to pick you up. She put her phone back in her pocket and raced through the people until she reached where I stood.

"Paul!" Leyna cried as she wrapped her arms around my waist. "Wha-what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to pick you up from the airport of course," I handed her the bouquet of flowers and then caught her off guard with a kiss on the lips. "You enjoy your surprise?"

"Of course I do! I didn't expect for you to be here. I just thought that you would have someone to pick me up and then I would just meet you at the AT&T Center."

"Yeah, that was my plan…that's what I wanted you to think. I wanted to surprise you…guess I did well?"

"You exceeded my expectations, as always babe." Leyna sniffed her roses and gave me another kiss. "I love you so much."

"I love you too. Let's grab your bags and head on over to AT&T Center and get our day going."

"Sounds like a plan," Leyna held her flowers in one hand and held my hand with the other as we made our way through the sea of people until we reached the baggage claim. I grabbed her other bag and we headed out of the airport and into the awaiting limousine to take us to AT&T Center to get our workday going. The driver opened the door for us; I noticed Leyna whisper something to the driver before she climbed inside. I soon joined her and we got comfortable and waited for the ride to start. I knew we only had about a 20 minute drive back but I was going to enjoy every second. We moved closer together and I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and pulled her close to me.

"Did you have a good morning?" I asked

"I sure did. Got up early, had a good breakfast and I even got a workout in before I headed out for my flight."

I couldn't help but smile. We practically did the same things this morning. Could she be any more amazing. "Was it a good workout?"

"Hell yeah. I put on this really good song and got my blood pumping. I felt super energized afterwards."

"What song was that?" I asked

"Funny you should ask that. Driver?"

I raised my eyebrow, not sure what Leyna had up her sleeve. I sat and waited and suddenly I heard Lemmy's voice emerge from the speakers of the limo.

"You didn't?"

"I did." Leyna looked at me smiled. "You're always playing my favorite R&B music when we ride together and I know that Motorhead is one of your favorites so I figured that I would surprise you and play something you love. Good surprise?"

"Leyna, just when I think I can't love you anymore, you go and do something incredibly amazing like this. This wasn't a good surprise. This was an amazing surprise." I pulled her to me and gave her a powerful kiss as the song started to end. "Can I expect this to happen during other limo rides?" I hinted.

"But of course. I think its only right that we switch off, listen to some R&B and then listen to some music you like. Isn't that what perfect couples do? Share and enjoy in each other's' interests?"

Perfect couple. Leyna had no idea how fitting those words were to me. We may not have been in the perfect situation but we were the perfect couple. The King of Kings and Leyna, my Queen of Queens.
