Going home with someone

You join Maria on the dance floor, where she quickly becomes the life of the party. While this after party is in your honor, Maria is definitely the most connected and likable person here within celebrity circles. You're in awe of the beautiful creature as she laughs and dances, sometimes with you, sometimes with a person she knows, and sometimes with random people.

As time passes, you feel yourself ready for round 2 with Maria. The music's tempo is fast and upbeat, and Maria is practically bouncing around in front of you and you even have to use your hand to support her waist as she almost falls over. Her energy is contagious and you find yourself having fun, although the stirring in your loins reminds you of other things to take care of. You're already recovered from the earlier encounter at the bar, and you look forward to another session with Maria, perhaps in a more private setting. You have to go to the bathroom, but when you return, you can't find Maria on the dance floor anymore, and the party is starting to thin as people leave. It's almost 3am.

You search the crowd, and finally spot Maria's shiny dress near the exit and you push through the throngs of people, many of whom try to stop you to take a selfie or say hi, but you're not interested. You finally catch up with Maria at the door just as she's about to step out. She's texting and doesn't notice you at first.

"Hey! Maria!" you call out to her from behind.

"Hey! Sorry, I didn't realize what time it was. I've got to go. I have to do a show in the morning and that's a few hours from now. Need to get some beauty sleep! Do you have an agent? How do I get in touch for the interview?"

You give Maria your number and tell her to call you, although you suspect she think it's going to be strictly professional after putting out once already. You're about to ask her if she wants to go back to the hotel with you, even though the chances are slim, when her car pulls up by the curb. She gives you 2 pecks on the cheeks and turns to the car, when a female voice calls out to her from the side.

"Maria!"

You and Maria look to the right at the same time to see who it is.

You recognize the woman. It's Ashley Greene in a smoking hot red dress that shows off her body and bosom. Her lipstick matches the color of her dress and she looks gorgeous.

"Ashley!" Maria exclaims in the women hug. Maria quickly introduces you to Ashley, who tells you she loved the movie.

"Hey, I'm sorry, I've really got to go. I have a show in the morning, but let's grab lunch sometime?" Maria asks Ashley.

"Sure thing, but I actually stopped you for a reason..." Ashley responds.

"What is it?"

"My night is not going well. I lost my purse, which had my phone and credit cards in it, and now my driver is nowhere to be found. Can I catch a ride with you?"

"Oh sure, your home is not far from mine."

"Actually," Ashley shakes her head sheepishly. "I lost my keys too and my fiance is out of the country."

"Wow, you've really had a bad night. I'd offer to let you crash at my place, but we're doing renovations and the guest rooms aren't usable, unless you're okay with the couch," Maria offers, although Ashley doesn't seem too excited about the idea. Even though her friend is offering help, you guess that Ashley is used to the finer things in life and certain luxuries.

"Actually, I'm staying at the Marriott not far from here," you interrupt, "They have me in the presidential suite and there are plenty of extra rooms. You can stay there for as long as you need."

Ashley's eyes brighten up at the prospect and she nods her head excitedly. "Yes, please! Is that okay, Maria?"

"Of course! Good night!" Maria says and they hug again. Before Maria leaves, she turns to you and hugs you too and whispers into your ear, "Champagne."

"What?" you whisper back to her.

"A couple glasses of champagne loosens Ashley up. A lot. Trust me." Maria lets go of you and winks, before getting into her car. You're stunned that she gave you the tip, before realizing that Maria was well aware you had wanted to bring her home.

Turning to Ashley, you offer her your arm to hold. "Shall we?"

Ashley smiles and takes your arm.
