Here is the fourth chapter and fourth couple, Sami Zayn and Paige(Zaige). I think I liked the idea of these two after Paige and I think Sami tweeted some pictures of them hanging out together and in some group pictures from when they were on the European tour. Either way, I do think Paige and Sami would be cute together. This one is a little different from the first three because the first three were all established relationships while this one is the beginning of one. So, I hope you guys enjoy it.

Paige groaned as she made her way to Sami's car. She really didn't want to go to Summer's Christmas party, but she had promised. It's not that she didn't like Christmas, on the contrary, Paige loved Christmas, but she knew most of the people there were in relationships and being what felt like the only single person on the roster just didn't seem that enticing to Paige. Well, she wasn't the only single person on the roster, Sami Zayn was single. Plenty of people had tried to convince Paige that she and Sami were perfect for each other, but she was positive that Sami didn't see her that way. Paige did find Sami attractive and had admitted to her friends that she had started to develop feelings for him, but that fear of being rejected and of losing him as a friend always prevented her from telling him. With another sigh, she opened the door and slid in.

"You look happy," Sami joked as they pulled away from Paige's apartment.

"Ha, ha, you're so funny," Paige grumbled.

"If you don't want to go then why are you?" Sami asked.

"Because I promised Summer and I never break my promises," Paige answered.

"That's one of the things that I admire in you," Sami stated. Paige looked over at Sami surprised.

"What?" she questioned him, "My ability to keep promises?"

"Not that, well not only that," he started, "It's how loyal you are. I've never seen someone as loyal to her friends then you. It's something that should be praised. Not many people are loyal anymore." Paige studied him before to her horror she could feel the familiar heat on her cheeks. She found herself blushing a lot more around Sami ever since she realized she liked him more than a friend and it was worse when he complemented her.

"Thanks," she mumbled quickly hiding her face behind hair, but Sami noticed the blush. Sami always noticed when he made Paige blush. The first time he had complemented her and her cheeks had reddened Sami had been shocked because he didn't take Paige as someone who blushed easily, but he thought she looked cute when she blushed. Ever since then he'd been complementing her a lot more just to see that adorable blush. His friends had been giving him a hard time about it, saying he should just ask her out already, but Sami was sure Paige would never date him. He knew he wasn't Paige's type. He had convinced himself that she dated guys like Corey, Seth, Dean, or even Roman, but never guys like Sami.

OoOoOo

The two rode in silence the rest of the way to Summer's apartment. Once Sami had parked his car, Paige bolted not wanting to further her embarrassment. Sami watched as Paige raced up the steps that lead to Summer's floor.

"Hi," Summer exclaimed as she answered the door. Paige wrapped her arms around her friend and greeted her.

"Where's Sami? I thought you were catching a ride with him?" Summer wondered. Paige was about to answer when she felt an arm wrap around her shoulder.

"She tried to ditch me, but I caught up to her," Sami joked which made Summer snicker and earned him a playful glare from Paige.

"I did not ditch you. It's not my fault you're so slow," Paige countered before making her way into the room, "Now, where's the booze?" Sami and Summer shared a look before chuckling and shaking their heads.

OoOoOo

The party was great and all of Paige and Sami's friends were there. Paige stood leaning against the wall nearest the kitchen watching everyone drinking and dancing.

"Now, I know you can dance," Paige turned to see Sami standing beside her, "Why aren't you dancing?"

"There's not enough room," Paige explained.

"That's never stopped you before," Sami argued.

"I just don't feel up to it," Paige responded.

"Why not? Are you okay?" Sami asked trying to make it sound like a joke, but Paige could hear the concern in his voice. Whenever Emma, Summer, or Paige herself threw a party, she was usually the first one on the dance floor, so her standing around and not dancing was unusual for her.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Go have fun," Paige told him giving him a playful shove, but Sami didn't budge.

"But I am worried about you," Sami told her, "You haven't been acting like yourself, not only today, but this whole week. What's wrong?" Paige turned from Sami so that he wouldn't be able to see her annoyance and sadness. He was right, of course. Paige had been feeling down all week because she wasn't going to be able to spend Christmas with her family and it had broken her heart. Paige loved spending Christmas with her family and the thought of not being able to celebrate with them had put Paige in a foul mood all week.

"Nothing," Paige dismissed his concern, "I'm fine."

"Paige, don't lie to me," Sami sighed.

"You want to know what's wrong?" she barked not in the mood for this, "What's wrong is that because of some dumbass at the airport that screwed up my ticket and for whatever reason they can't fix it, I won't be able to spend Christmas with my family. So, there you go, Sami. You have discovered what has made Paige such a sourpuss this week. Happy?" Before Sami could say anything Paige stalked off leaving Sami feeling guilty and even more concerned.

OoOoOo

Paige downed her fourth drink, and could tell that she was fully buzzed, and if she didn't stop she'd be drunk soon. She looked around at the remaining guest at the party, since the amount of people had dwindled quite a bit in the past two hours. She spotted Sami leaning against the doorway that led to the living room and walked over to him.

"Hey, you," Paige greeted him with a smile.

"You're drunk," Sami chuckled at Paige's goofy smile.

"No, I'm not," Paige argued, "I'm buzzed. There is a difference, Mr. Zayn."

"Okay, whatever you say," Sami said as he took a swig of his drink.

"You don't believe me?" Paige asked in disbelief.

"Of course, I believe you," Sami told her as he turned towards her, "Hey, about earlier, I'm sorry you can't go home for Christmas."

"Forget about that," Paige grunted not wanting to think about it, "I just want to have fun and drink." Sami was about to reply, but was cut off by Summer and Emma's squealing.

"What?" Sami and Paige both asked at the same time. The pair pointed above their heads and they both looked up to see mistletoe hanging above them. Sami swallowed thickly and Paige felt her heart stop.

"You know what that means," Emma said as her and Summer made kissing noises at them. Paige rolled her eyes at her friends. She loved them, but sometimes they could be really annoying especially when they were drunk.

"Look, we are not-" Paige's words were cut off by the feeling of someone's lips on hers. It took her buzzed brain a second to realize that Sami was kissing her. Holy shit, Sami Zayn is kissing me!, Paige screamed internally. This had to be a dream. There was no way that she was kissing Sami. After a second Paige decided to say "screw it" and kissed him back which surprised Sami. He had figured, "what the hell?" and had gone for it.

He thought that he could blame it on the holiday tradition if Paige got pissed at him, but what he hadn't been expecting was for her to kiss him back. Sami pulled Paige closer to him as she wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him closer to her. The kiss deepened and eventually they had to separate so that they could breath. They both stared at each other trying to figure out what had just happened when Paige turned away to see Summer and Emma's shocked faces.

"Now, that is what I call a mistletoe kiss," Summer gasped as her and Emma continued to stare in shock at what they had just witnessed. Both of them knew that Paige and Sami had a thing for each other, but both were too chicken to admit their feelings to the other, so Summer was hoping this kiss may make them open up to each other.

"Excuse me," Paige mumbled as she bolted out the front door.

"Paige," Sami called as he chased after her, "Paige, wait." Paige ignored him as she continued to run. She couldn't believe that that had just happened. She couldn't believe that she had let that happen. What was wrong with her? She kept running not wanting to face Sami or his questions, but was stopped abruptly by his hand grabbing her arm.

"Will you stop, please?" Sami begged as he stood in front of Paige.

"What?" Paige barked, "What do you want?"

"You don't want to discuss what just happened back there?" Sami asked her.

"No, actually, I don't," Paige informed him as she tried to walk past him, but he blocked her way, "Sami, move."

"No, Paige. We're going to talk about this," Sami demanded which only pissed Paige off.

"You don't tell me what to do Sami Zayn, do you hear me?" Paige growled, not in the mood. She was buzzed, pissed about not being able to see her family, and was potentially about to lose one of friends because of a stupid kiss.

"Then talk to me," he begged her, "Why did you run away?"

"Because I couldn't stay there anymore," Paige told him.

"Why not?" Sami questioned her, "Was the kiss that bad? Am I a crappy kisser? Are you pissed at me because I kissed you? Because if you are then tell-"

"Okay, okay," Paige cut him off, "The kiss wasn't bad. Honestly, it's one of the best kisses I've had in a long while and you are a great kisser."

"So, you're pissed that I kissed you, then?" Sami inquired.

"No," Paige murmured.

"No?" Sami asked her hoping he had heard her right.

"No, the kiss didn't piss me off. I actually liked it a lot, probably a lot more then I should," Paige admitted.

"What do you mean?" Sami asked feeling slightly hopeful.

"Nothing, it's just," Paige paused trying to get control of her emotions, "This has been a really crappy week. I just wanted to come here, have some fun to hopefully take my mind off of things, and instead it's worse because now I'm afraid that kiss has ruined everything with you, and I can't lose you."

"Hey, you are not going to lose me," Sami promised as he pulled Paige into a hug, "You could never lose me."

"You can't promise me that," Paige whimpered into his chest. She felt so ridiculous acting this way. She didn't want Sami to see her this weak and vulnerable, but she couldn't help how she felt.

"What could you ever do to lose me?" Sami inquired. Paige didn't reply because she didn't know how to say it and she didn't know if she even wanted to say it.

"I liked the kiss," she mumbled as she pulled away from Sami so that she could look at him.

"So did I," Sami responded.

"No, but I really liked it. More than a friend should like kissing their friend," Paige admitted. They both stood there for a second as Sami took in Paige's words.

"Paige, do you have feelings for me?" Sami asked which caught Paige off guard and she started to panic, not sure how to answer, "Because I have feelings for you." Paige stared at him in disbelief. Had she just heard him right?

"Are you serious?" Paige asked not believing what she was hearing was true.

"Paige, I have feelings for you. I like you more than a friend and have for a while now," Sami confessed hoping he wasn't making the wrong decision.

"Really?" Paige asked still in disbelief.

"Yeah," Sami told her as he grabbed her hands, "How do you feel about me Paige?"

"I have feelings for you, too," she blurted out wanting nothing more than to let him know that she wanted him as much as he seemed to want her.

"Really?" Sami repeated Paige's question from a few seconds ago. Paige laughed at the question before taking a step closer to him. She removed her hands from his, cupped his face, and pulled it down to hers. Their lips connected and Paige felt a sigh escape her at the feeling of his lips on hers again. Sami responded to the kiss and pulled Paige closer to him. They stood there getting lost in each other before they pulled away to catch their breaths.

"Does that answer your question?" Paige gasped as she studied his face. Sami smiled at her words before he started peppering little kisses along her face and neck. Paige smiled at the feeling of his lips on her. After a few seconds they both made their way back to Summer's party, and spent the rest of the night by each other's side, and neither of them let go of the other's hand.

OoOoOo

When the party ended, Sami took Paige home and the whole ride home Paige had a hold of Sami's hand. Paige smiled softly and looked down at Sami's hand tangled with hers. She looked over at him to see him focusing on the road, but once in awhile he'd look at her from the corner of his eye. It made Paige's smile widen and she relaxed into the passenger's seat. She may not be able to spend Christmas with her family, which still sucked, but at least she would be with Sami and that thought made Paige happy.

So, there you go. Sorry, if the endings a bit abrupt. It was a little tricky for me to figure out how to end it and this was the best I could do. This one turned out a lot longer than the previous chapters. I guess I really like these two. Well, I hope you enjoyed this, and please leave me a review, and tell me what you think.
