<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/NxaLBd2.jpg)</div>Name: Leah Rivers (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=287870.msg14155025#msg14155025)<br/>Location/Time: Linea: Rear Deck/ Linea leaving harbor<br/>Tagging: Clover, Shoko, Tory, and everyone<br/>Wearing: a yellow 2 piece string bikini with white deck shorts and a long, flowing nearly see thru white blouse that was only partly buttoned up<br/><br/>Leah smiled as she noticed Clover checking out her ladies when she turned to address the brunette's question and then smiled happily as Clover made and maintained eye contact as the blonde addressed the question about docking.  At some point in time, everyone checked out her ladies, man or woman and Leah was fine with that, they were impressive.  And it wasn't like Leah was shy about showing them off, if you got it, flaunt it! afterall.   But if she was going to get into a relationship with someone, they needed to be able to maintain eye contact with her during conversations.<br/><br/>As she took in the basic itinerary and the offer to see the Formula One race in Monte Carlo, the mexican-american grinned, "That would be awesome.  I am not big into cars, but seeing the race in Monte Carlo will be an exciting, once in a lifetime experience for me."  Although this whole trip was going to be a once in a lifetime experience for her, unless of course Clover ended up picking her.  Which Leah didn't believe would happen in the end, but it would be a great experience to have regardless and maybe she would make new friends that would last beyond the trip.<br/><br/>The mexican-american nodded along as Clover answered Kelli's question about what made the blonde happy.  Biting her lip, Leah looked around at all the other ladies and decided to share a little bit about herself.  Maybe that would make this more of a group share thing, instead of all the focus being on Clover and that would help the blonde relax and be herself.<br/><br/>"That makes perfect sense to me Clover," she shrugged her shoulders, "when I got out of college a financial firm hired me right off the bat, I fulfilled several diversity check marks."  The mexican-american rolled her eyes playfully and then jiggled her ladies teasingly, "And I might have used my assets a little bit.  Anyway, something I noticed was that the more money someone made, the less happy they became.  The more they strived for the next big score, the next new toy, the shorter time they were happy when they achieved it, before they were off for the next big score."  Leah frowned and shook her head sadly, "It was much like a drug addiction, the more they took, the more they needed to take to get any pleasure out of it."  She looked around at the other ladies as she paused to gauge their reactions for a moment before continuing, "I lasted 4 years before I got out of there and started my own firm.  I rarely deal in high risk ventures."<br/><br/>So far, Leah had been studiously ignoring all the opulence around her, just looking at the ladies around her, listening to them and getting a better feel for them as she sipped slowly from her lemonade.  If she thought too much about where she was, about the ship around her, the more out of place and awkward she would feel. She was here to have a good time, to relax and maybe meet the lady of her dreams, as she let her eyes travel over all the women, but lingering more on Clover and Rory.<br/><br/>Glancing at Shoko, she made a mental note to get contact information with the shy lady, they could meet online and play games together after the cruise was over.  There were a bunch of games that she would like to introduce to the japanese lady.<br/><br/>Maya and Kelli, she could definitely see herself getting along with them, going to see them compete and then sharing a dinner and drinks afterwards in celebration of a well played competition.   Valkyrie, Mila and Amanda she hasn't gotten a very good feel for yet.<br/><br/>Looking back at Clover, Leah tried to think of another question to ask their blonde hostess.  She has never been good at small talk, or know what to talk about at parties.  Asking about the weather seemed silly, with the perfect weather they were having so far.  Maybe she should ask something that everyone could answer and this would help Clover to get to know them.  There were a bunch of world travelers in the group, she looked around at everyone as she addressed her question to everyone, "I haven't travelled much and some of you have, but where are the best beeches?"
