The party proved to be a long and boring affair and Laura soon retreated to the welcoming darkness of the cocktail bar. An unusual twist in the architecture graced the bar with a welcome pool of moderated calm away from the crashing Latino beats pumping from the dance floor speakers.
Motioning to the man behind the bar she selected a cocktail at random. She had already decided that the names definitely held more appeal in Portuguese than plain old English. Supping at the highly infused alcoholic drink Laura surveyed the bar and its occupants. The place was some what empty, most of the party crowd having hit the dance floor.
A young couple sat at the middle of the bar length were obviously lost in themselves. The girls top was unfastened several buttons down and as Laura watched them giggling to themselves she caught a quick glimpse of exposed nipple at the end of a deliciously toned breast. Feeling a little like a voyeur Laura looked away feeling her own excitement build at the sight of naked flesh. It was then that she noticed the young woman sat in the dark gloom at the far end of the bar. Even from this distance the woman looked unhappy. She was sat hunched over her tall cocktail glass obvious to the world. Long strands of shoulder length dark hair fell forwards obscuring her facial features. Intrigued and just a little bit horny, Laura decided to investigate.
"Hello" she said softly in the way of an introduction. The young woman's head snapped up at the sound of Laura's voice.
"I'm sorry, are you talking to me?" the woman said. Her accent betrayed away her Brazilian heritage. Laura's secret hunch had proved to be correct the woman was extremely attractive with large brown eyes, long dark eyelashes and lusciously brown tanned skin. Her lips were full, coloured with a deep red lipstick and Laura felt her hormones stirring to the woman's sexual attraction.
"Yes I am. You looked like you needed some company so I thought I'd join you."
"Wait a moment." the young woman gasped. "You're Laura Roft, aren't you?"
"As a matter of fact I am." Laura replied enjoying her celebrity status for a change.
"Oh wow! I'm a massive fan of yours. You're such an inspiration to me...." the woman was about to continue when Laura butted in.
"Please don't go on, I get enough of that when I was on the stage. For now I'm just Laura. And who may you be?"
The woman blushed and momentarily looked away at her drink in embarrassment. Laura took this opportunity to scan her gaze down the woman's body and admire the firm tone of her slight breasts under her thin white blouse.
The woman was wearing a short black skirt with vertical white strips running along the width. Even in the darkness of the bar area Laura could make out her well toned and extremely long shapely legs. Laura's mind was now set. She had every intention of bedding this woman and now it was just a matter of how much fun she could have in the process.
"My name is Annabel Garcia" the attractive young woman said sheepishly as she looked up again. "Forgive me my manners but it is such a shock to actually meet the guest of honour this way."
"What way did you have planned?" Laura asked giving Annabel her warmest smile whilst at the same time making sure she had full eye contact.
"Actually I'm a reporter." Again she looked back at her half empty glass before continuing. "I'm meant to be getting an interview from you but I'm knew to all this" she waved an open hand in the direction of the crowded dance floor.
