Helena was transfixed by the thought of Alexa dancing on a bar and seeing her that drunk.  She had yet to see her that unguarded around her.  They connected it was true, in some ways it felt like they’d known each other for years but Helena still felt that they were both holding back pieces from each other, whether from fear or insecurity she didn’t know.

‘Waiter? Can you get us a large pitcher of this stuff?’

‘Helena!’ said Alice.  ‘Are you trying to get us all slammed tonight?’

‘Why not?’ Helena shrugged.  ‘I like this stuff that’s all.’

Three large drinks in and both Alexa and Helena had reached that perfect blood alcohol level where inhibition is lost but control of mind and body remained.  They swayed in their seats to the music and listened to Shane talking about her latest conquest.  ‘Seriously she will not stop calling me.’

‘Why did you give her your number?’ asked Alexa.

‘I was just being polite.’

‘Big mistake,’ said Alexa.  ‘Should have gotten out the door before she woke up.’

Helena gasped and put her arm around Alexa, nipping at her neck.  ‘Hey, should I be worried by this big ass player talk?’

‘Let’s dance,’ suggested Alexa to Helena and the rest of the table.

‘I’m not much for dancing,’ said Shane backing out.

‘Alice, Dana?’

Alice and Dana looked at each other, weighing it up.

‘Helena, c’ mon,’ pouted Alexa.

‘Oh alright,’ said Helena and as they rose a slinky salsa track came on.

‘You salsa?’ asked Helena loudly over the music.

‘Why don’t you find out?’ suggested Alexa as she positioned Helena’s right hand on her waist and linked the other with her own.  They found the beat quickly, basic latin steps quickly giving way to freestyle.  They twirled and laughed with the music, heat rising between them both from the sultry nature of the track and the close proximity of their bodies.

‘See that?’ said Shane as she pointed out the increasingly dirty dancing.  ‘They look good together.’

Helena ground her hips into Alexa’s ass, letting her hand stroke slowly down her body with the beat of the music.  She twirled Alexa around, hips and lips so close they could almost taste each other.  Their eyes focused entirely on each other, their movements slowed to a sexy sway, neither willing to relinquish the hold they had over each other.
