The Trap

Chapter 74

Hello all! I'm sorry this is late. I just needed this to be perfect, just as Saula is perfect! This chapter is the longest one I've ever posted (7,696 words). I hope you won't mind.

Paula woke up with a smile on her face. Today would be the start of her forever ever after with her best friend as her husband and her favorite co-parent. Immediately she flew out of bed and danced around the room. When she was calm enough, she got her cell phone from the drawer, waited for it to turn on and called Simon.

"Hello?" he said in a froggy voice. She had woken him up.

"Good morning, Mr. Cowell!"

"Paula, why are you calling me that?"

"I just felt like it."

"Well then good morning, Ms. Abdul!"

"Morning! We're getting married today!"

"Oh really? Is that today?"

"Yes! Aren't you excited?!"

"Of course, I am! I love you!"

"I love you more!

"I love you most! Ha ha I win!"

Just then there was a knock on the front door.

"Hang on, there's someone at my door."

Paula ran to the door to see her knight in shiny armor standing in the doorway, messy hair and all. It was obvious that he just rolled out of bed and came over. Paula barely had time to greet him before Simon's lips were attached to hers. But this time, he left her wanting more. She opened her eyes to see that he had disappeared and she was left making a kissy face in the hallway.

"Where did he go?"

"Behind you, love."

She closed the door and spun around to look into his perfect chocolate eyes. She loves getting lost in his eyes.

"So are the girls up yet?"

"No they're not."

"Do you need help?"

"Actually I have a better idea. How about you try to wake the girls up while I go get the twins."

"Sounds good to me, but um who hung up on me last night?"

"Holly."

"I knew she would do a naughty thing that that."

"Well actually it was a sweet gesture because she said that Beth would be mad at us if we talked all night and were really tired today."

"Wow I'm shocked that I didn't think about that."

Paula nodded. "Now nicely wake up the girls. I don't want to hear screaming."

"Oh come on."

"No I don't want them to be wild."

"Alright, go!"

"Wait, what happened to on your mark and set?"

"I skipped it. So like I said, go!"

Paula ran out of the room as Simon stood there trying to figure out his game plan. Suddenly he heard a sweet voice behind him. He turned around to see a happy and sleepy Lily walking up to him. After he hugged and greeted her, she told him that she was having trouble finding Holly. So they checked every room with absolutely no luck. Just then Paula came back with the twins in tow. Simon couldn't bring himself to tell his bride that he had lost Holly again. So he played it off.
