Strip Poker

"So what are the plans for tonight? Do we want to go out to the clubs or have a good old card game at Cowell's?" Ryan was always up for some fun.

"Hmmm...I kinda like the idea of laying low, getting drunk and going to Simon's for some cards." Paula knew that this way her and Simon could do some heavy flirting without having an eye witness snap pictures of them getting friendly under a table. Sure Terri would be there but neither one of them cared any more. It was like she accepted it.

"That does sound like a plan dawg! I like it. Yes that's what we'll do." Randy was already walking down the hall back to his dressing room to call Erika to let her know he was playing cards tonight.

"I just love how everyone makes plans to play cards at my house."

"Oh you love the idea and you know it. Every time we end up at your house things get crazy and it turns out to be a better time than if we went out to the clubs." Paula gave Simon a sexy wink.

Simon leaned in her ear making sure she would feel his hot breath on her neck. "I can tell you feel like getting naughty tonight."

She laughed a little before standing from her seat. She walked around to the back of Simon's chair and bent over in his ear. "I had a long week...I just want to loosen up a bit...maybe get a little naughty...more than usual." She ruffled his hair and walked back to her dressing room as well making sure she swayed her hips a little more than she normally did, knowing very well Simon was watching. She loved to tease him and get him all worked up.

"Hello Simon...Earth to Simon...Well? Where are you?"

"What! Seacrest can't you see I'm busy?"

"Busy starring at Paula's ass again?

"It's quite a perfect ass isn't it?"

"Yes..Yes it is...but it's time to wake up from your fantasy Cowell, it will never happen."

"Yes it will...Maybe even tonight!"

"Yea well what about Terri?" Ryan had a cocky smile plastered on his face. "You know I would probably have a better chance with her tonight before you would... considering Terri will be all over you the minute she thinks you crossed that fine little line between friendly flirting and down and dirty four play."

"You'll see..."

"Well if your planning on trying to get into Paula's sweet little panties tonight just to prove a point to me than maybe you should rethink your actions so you don't hurt her."

"I'm not trying to prove a point to anyone...I want it as much as she does...And that my friend is a fact."

"Paula..." Terri was calling Paula from down the hall.

Paula spun around "You calling me?" She liked Terri as a friend but at the same time felt jealously towards her for obvious reasons. Every time she saw Terri draped over Simon she felt this little stab in the heart.

"Yes...are you coming over to play cards?...I just bumped into Randy and he told me everyone was planning on coming over to play cards and as he put it 'get sloppy drunk'...I was actually going to go out with the girls tonight but then I thought this might be fun."

Paula cursed Randy in her head. 'Damn him...why did he have to say anything.' "Oh yea I'm just gonna stop at home to let out the dogs since I plan on having a really good time tonight. Ya know it might be a late one."

"Good well I'll see you later. I'm going to go find Si."

"OK dear...I'll see you...Tell Cowell to get ready for a crazy night. I'll be taking his money."

"I'll tell him."

"I heard that Miss Abdul...Not a chance...And just for fun I say we put a little twist on the game."

"Oh yea...What kind of twist?"

"You'll find out when you get there."
