The resolution to stay away from drinks lasted about five seconds when Grace offered again and Tessa was soon standing with a glass of wine in her hand, sipping the chilled beverage and feeling her cheeks redden. Though perhaps that wasn't from the wine as she felt a familiar hand softly on her butt, thank goodness it was hidden from view by their position. She certainly didn't want her husband's friends to think they were a couple of sex-maniacs but now she felt that it was rather a shame that Rex had gone downstairs so swiftly after arriving.<br/><br/>Once things calmed down a little Tessa concentrated on planting firmly in her mind who was who of those allready here which was a lot easier than it would have been if the last pair of guests had allready arrived, feeling that she was starting to get the hang of it pretty well. And once Bobby arrived Tessa felt that she was good to go about it and smiled as he came over.<br/><br/>Tessa wasn't quite prepared for the introduction she was given though, her cheeks flaring up when her hand was kissed and all, not to mention that Rex's warning was in any bit calming.<br/>"Oh... You're right. A pleasure to meet you too Bobby."<br/>The compliment was sweet and sounded genuine and Tessa thanked him with her smile before turning her head to Rex, wishing she was tall enough to give his cheek a kiss without having to pull him down. As it was she had to settle for gently bumping his hip with her own.<br/>"I'm more concerned about you with all these beautiful women around..."<br/>Sounding rather playful Tessa slipped a wink at him before taking her glass to the patio, she was young and confident enough to be sure about her own ability to keep Rex from straying, after all his current secretary was also quite attractive and reportedly after Tessa's place.<br/><br/>"Oh, I'll joing you too if that's okay..."<br/>Putting down  her glass Tessa stepped out of her sandals and took off the sundress before lifting her hands to her hair, arranging her soft brown tresses to a sloppy bun secured by a tied ribbon before getting into the pool in a far more careful way than Terry, she didn't think her top would allow something like a dive.<br/>"Oh this is heavenly."
