A million thoughts were swimming in Simon's head as he climbed into his car and started the engine. He was on his way to Paula's. It was getting late, he spent most of his day helping Terri pack a few things to take back to London. After both Terri and Simon calmed down they found it easier to talk to one another and came to an agreement that it was best they go their separate ways. Terri knew that sleeping with Ryan was wrong and way out of line but couldn't help question the fact of why she did it. Something must have been missing in their relationship. As for Simon he also knew that sleeping with Paula was wrong but at the same time to him it felt just right and so natural. Before heading to Paula's house Simon wanted to clear his head. He rolled down his window, the warm breeze filled the car hitting the side of his face on the way in instantly relaxing him. Simon wasn't the type of man to be scared of anything but tonight he was scared to admit his feelings for her, scared to admit his feelings to himself but most of all scared to be rejected. His car came to a stop in her driveway. He closed his eyes trying to rehearse what he wanted to tell her but decided against it as he wanted to let it come from his heart.

Paula had just stepped out of the shower and slipped on a thin white tank that accented her beautiful cleavage and a pair of very short hot pants that clung to her like second skin. she normally wore them for dancing but being a hot night this selection would work. All night she found herself picking up the phone and dialing the first five or six digits of Simon's cell but always lost her nerve as she reached the last number. She told herself that when Simon was ready to talk to her he would call. Maybe he lost his nerve also, maybe him and Terri worked things out, maybe he would never call her. Just then her phone rang. She darted out of the bathroom and practically leaped over her bed to grab the phone. " Could this be him?" She let it ring one more time to not seem too desperate to hear his voice.

"Hello?"

"Paula?..."

"Oh...Hey Wendy..."

"Well it's nice to hear from you too...Expecting someone else?"

"Oh no...I'm sorry Wen...It's just been a long day."

"Wanna talk about it?"

"Umm...No not really it would take too long"

"Are you sure?...I have some time...So what did he do this time?"

"What did who do?"
"Come on Pauls...Who else gets you so emotional?"

"Oh God...Is it that obvious?"

"Yes...It's been that obvious for quite some time now."

"Wendy...What am I going to do?"

"Well I'm not sure how to help you out if I don't know what happened."

"Isleptwithhim"

"You what?"

"I slept with him...over and over again last night and almost again this morning." As she told Wendy what she had done she pushed the play button on her DVD player and turned down the volume so she wouldn't hear. Right there on the screen were her and Simon tangled up in each other's arms just as they finished up a hot session of love making. She must have watched this part a dozen or more times today. Even though the sex was mind blowing her favorite part of the tape was after they came when Simon and her molded into each other and held each other for the rest of the night.

"Oh my...I see..."

"Wendy..." Paula whined. "I should have never done it...I should have known better, now I may have wrecked a perfectly good relationship.

"Are we talking about a perfectly good relationship as in You and Simon as friends or Simon and Terri as lovers?"

"Simon and Terri of course."

"Well Paula I would hardly say they have or had a perfect relationship...Every time I've seen you three in the same room he's always looking at YOU or talking to YOU or touching YOU...So...What did you tell him as you left him this morning?"

"I told him that I would not be the other woman...but now I almost want to take it back because right now the way I feel about him I would settle just so I can feel what I felt last night again and again."

"Paula...Do you want me to come over?...Paula?...Hello?"

She heard Wendy speak but Paula could not form her words together to make any kind of sound. At that very moment Paula was trying to get some air from her window when she noticed Simon's car parked in her driveway. She searched for Simon but didn't see him anywhere. Just then he came into view. She watched him for a few seconds pace back and forth from his car to her door as if he was nervous to ring her bell.

"Wendy...I'll call you back..."

Paula's heart was beating fast. She thought for a minute that she heard it pound. She felt dizzy. Butterflies fluttered around her stomach. Never before has a man done this to her, made her feel like she was a teenager again. She ran downstairs to her front door. She took a few deep breaths and slowly turned the knob. She stood in the door way leaning her head against the frame of the door and watched Simon as he had his back turned to her.

Simon fumbled with his car keys for a few minutes deciding on weather to stay and knock or get back in his car and go home. Images of the night before flashed through his mind and he wanted nothing more than to feel that again. He finally made a decision and spun around to find himself face to face with Paula.

"Paula!..."

"Simon..." She said with a smile.

"How did you know I was hear?"

"I was trying to get some air and I saw your car." She didn't let him know that she watched him pace back and forth. "I didn't think that you would come..."

"Why?"

"Since I didn't hear from you I didn't think you wanted to speak with me...For wrecking what you and Terri have."

"Had."

"Oh Simon...I'm so sorry...Maybe we should have thought a little more about what we did before we did it. I feel responsible...I'm not sure what came over me last night."

Simon walked closer to Paula. Just then a cooler breeze flew by them. Simon couldn't help notice the peaks of Paula's nipples coming through the thin material of her tank top. She looked stunning, He wanted to tell her everything he was feeling but couldn't find the words just yet. He was mesmerized by her beauty.

"Your not responsible for anything...We did this together...And I wouldn't take it back for anything."

"Can I be honest with you?...I'm glad you think that cause I thought I was just being selfish...Truthfully...I wanted this to happen...I've wanted this to happen for so long Simon and finally it came and truthfully I'm not sorry...I'm not sorry for you and Terri breaking up...It's my turn now..."

"Remember how I told you I want to come home to you every night?...I meant every word. I want to come home to you every night and make love just as we did last night."

Paula's eyes fell close. She leaned her head against the door frame again trying to hold back the tears that welled up in her eyes. One tiny tear escaped and ran down the side of her cheek. Without hesitation Simon wiped away her lone tear with his thumb and brushed it against her soft lips.

"Paula...Your crying?..."

"It's not sad tears Si..."

"Good...I was so worried that you didn't want this."

"No Si...I want this...More than you'll ever know."

"Let me show you how I want every night to be like."

He leaned down and cupped her face with both of his strong hands and slowly brushed his lips to hers, tracing the outline of her upper lip with his tongue before capturing her mouth with hungry urgency. He stroked her mouth to ecstasy.

"Maybe we should take this inside?" He asked out of breath from conquering her mouth.

She didn't say anything, she didn't have to. Paula walked backwards through the front door still holding on tight to Simon's shirt never breaking eye contact. The most appropriate place to lead him would be to her bedroom but in her erotic state she wasn't quite sure she could make it. Simon slid both hands down the sides of her thighs to lift her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist and he blindly started up the steps in search for her bedroom. He knew she wanted him right then and there but this wasn't the time for hard core kitchen counter sex. He wanted to show her the other side of Simon Cowell, the Simon Cowell that was actually capable of loving a women, a women only by the name of Paula Abdul. Once at the threshold of her bedroom he placed her on her feet. He wanted to make sure one more time that this was indeed what she wanted.

"Paula?..."

"Yes..."

"Are you Su..."

"Yes Simon ...Yes I am."

Simon couldn't help but smile at the beauty before him. "You know love this is my first time."

Paula looked confused "First time?...I don't... under..."

"My actual first time making love to a woman...I've never cared for a woman let alone loved a woman as much as I do at this very minute."

Once again tears streamed down her face "Simon I've waited for someone to make me feel this way my whole life and now I think I've finally found it...Please don't make me wait any longer...Make love to me now."

He backed her up to the bed. Once the back of her legs pressed against her giant size king mattress she climbed up and got to her knees, their eyes met and once again he reclaimed her mouth, She parted her swollen lips for him allowing his tongue to dance with hers. He worked his way to her neck sucking every inch down to her lush cleavage that was spilling out of her tank. She lifted her arms for him to undress her. His eyes darted to her perfectly plumb breasts. With both hands he cupped them tenderly giving each one unique and individual attention making her sensitive nipples very erect. Paula arched her back pushing her peaks even closer to his mouth inviting him to play even more. She grabbed at the buttons on his shirt unbuttoning them one after another until she exposed the hardness of his chest. She lined soft kisses down his abdomen raking her fingertips along the way to the waistband of his jeans. He helped her by pulling down his jeans and boxers. She wrapped her right hand around the base of his stiff length while her other hand gripped his thigh. She looked up to meet his eyes once again before this time wrapping her lips around the tip of him. She stroked him with her tongue while he tried to regain control. Her lapping strokes became harder and faster as Simon fought for more oxygen. He didn't want her to stop but it was necessary. If he didn't stop her he would lose all control.

"Love..." He said breathlessly "I don't want you to stop but...Mmm....Paula...Darling..."

"I'm Sorry baby...I didn't want to stop...You taste so good." She gave him a sexy giggle and a wink to go with it.

"You teased me enough now it's my turn to tease you..."

She tried to get up and run away but she didn't make it very far and Simon Pinned her down, pulling off the small piece of fabric she called shorts. To his surprise she was missing her panties. "No panties?..."

"No...I guess subconsciously I knew you were coming."

She leaned back against the pillows letting her legs fall wide apart and her hands grabbing the top of Simon's head lowering him to her "Si...Make me come..."

He slid his fingers into her wetness, probing in and out while letting his thumb massage her clit. "Oh God Simon....Just this alone will make me come." She couldn't lie still. She lifted her hips upward pushing his fingers deeper inside of her. He teased her even further by pulling his fingers out almost the whole way before plunging back in. "Siiiiii...This feels...ahhh... amazing..." He figured enough was enough and slowly slid his fingers out replacing them with his tongue. He tickled every inch of her, running fast circles around her clit until she couldn't take no more. He felt her move frantically against him until pulsating waves of pleasure took over her body. "My God Simon...I never felt anything like that."

"Well love your about to feel more.." He spoke with a confident tone.

He pushed her legs even wider apart and buried himself deep inside her. She met him thrust for thrust While he gyrated in slow but intense circles. she encircled him with her legs to drive him even deeper. He could feel she was close again as the slippery walls of her began to pulsate and contract against him. He felt as though he could explode any second. They had perfect rhythm together and their breathing became labored. "Come with me love..." He buried his face in her shoulder to quiet his pleasure. He then gave in to the hottest and longest explosion of his life. Paula found herself doing the same as she clenched the sheets in her hand until the whites of her knuckles showed allowing her juices to intermingle with is. None of them knew how long they lay there without saying a word, it could have been seconds, minutes,hours. It didn't matter they were finally together. It took almost six years, six years of hurt, tension, lust, jealousy but most of all love but it finally happened.

Simon leaned over on to his side to face Paula, he stroked her cheek. "You are the most beautiful, amazing, stunning woman I have ever had the pleasure to be with...Paula...I love you darling."

She looked up to him almost getting lost in his eyes. She flashed him the most beautiful smile she could. " I love you too Si...I always have and I always will."
