Katrina's Story - The Complete Story.



Part C – The Second Special Weekend.

           Soon the six weeks had gone and they were organising another weekend. I had told Elizabeth and she agreed to help again too.

            This time I took the van into town with the staff. After saying goodbye to my friends, I took a taxi to Elizabeth’s house and after picking her up we went back to the big house. Amita thought this would work better than last time with less risk of anyone suspecting what I was up to.  We planned later for us to catch a taxi into town and then I come home in the van with the other staffs too. My story would be I spent the weekend with a friend of my family.

            By the time we got back the guests were arriving. Amita greeted us and said, “You will be in the same room as before if that is alright. Everything is ready, take your things up and then start on dinner.”

             This time they had a cross-dressing party. When they arrived for dinner the girls were dressed as men and the men as women. I have to say a man in a sari does looks a bit funny too. As they moved it kept falling off too. None of them could fit a sari blouse and so had to go with nothing under. Yes, it was funny. Hansini came in Mootie's Ranger uniform. His shorts were so large and they had to be folded and pinned. There were these big baggy pants with her skinny little legs coming out the bottom. It was too funny to see and we were laughing.
            Of course, Elizabeth and I had remained in our jeans for the evening. We joined them for dinner and after cleaning up we were free for the evening.

            Elizabeth said she was looking forward to the spa again and soon after we got to the room we were stripping off our clothes and jumping into the spa. It was easy to strip in front of her this time and I felt more relaxed with it.

            Something happened in the spa which was a bit sexier than before. I noticed Elizabeth sat back against the side of the pool with her eyes closed enjoying the water bubbling around us. She was sitting much higher out of the water with her breasts openly exposed above the water. I could see almost their whole shape with her nipples, dark black in the soft light.

            Then when she opened her eyes she noticed where my eyes were. She smiled but this time instead of slipping down into the water she came across the pool to face me. Then to my surprise, her hands came up, one to each of my breasts.

           I wasn’t sure what to do. Should I take her hands away? But it felt so nice like nothing I had felt before. I just closed my eyes and let her touch my breasts, holding them, touching my nipples. Her hands were running over my breasts, touching my nipples, rolling them between her fingers.

            It felt so good that soon I wanted her to do it and I didn’t want her to stop. It was then I did something I never believed I would do. My hands came up and touched her breasts too. I felt the smooth softness of her flesh. Then I found her nipples. They were hard and so rough after the smooth breasts. It was exciting to touch her like that. Do not misunderstand, I knew what a breast feels like. I touch mine every day during my washing process but this was very different. These breasts were not mine. They were another woman's.  

            Then suddenly she leant forward her own breasts pressing against mine. I looked down and watched my breasts and nipples rub across hers. Oh, that was so sexy. Doing that our faces were close together. I looked up at her face and she was watching me. She smiles and leant closer as she kissed me straight on my lips. It was only of a second but it was like an electric shock through me before she pulled away from me. I looked at her. She moved back to her side of the pool smiling back at me.
           To be honest, I did not know what to think of all that. 

            Later that night when we went to bed we still were naked. Instead of sleeping on her side of the bed she slipped over to me and cuddled up against me. That is how we fell asleep.

            Next morning we remained in our ordinary clothes while we prepared breakfast. After breakfast, while we were cleaning up Amita came into the kitchen. Now she had just her bikini bottom on.

            “After you finished girls, get changed to your bikinis, then join us for the morning activities,” she told us.

            I kind of felt it was more of an order to get changed than a suggestion but we went up and did anyway. When Elizabeth put her bikini on I noticed that since she was bigger than me up top she was showing a lot more cleavage too. We stood in front of the mirror to admire each other. The bikinis were showing a lot of both our bodies but like I said before they were making our bodies look sexy too.
           Then I looked at her bikini bottom. Just in front low down there was some black hair and I point it to her. She found some scissors and I watched her pull her bikini aside and cut it off. It was the first time I had really seen her pussy so close like that. I was actually interested to see her too. 
           We, of course, put on the skirts and cover-up before we went out.

            We found most of them at the tennis court but Hansini and Jeevan were missing. “They are over at the chess set playing a game,” said Amita. “Go over if you want.”

            I decided to see what was going on so I got up to go. Elizabeth said she wanted to stay and watch the tennis, so I went on my own.

            Hansini and Jeevan were involved in the game but it didn’t seem too serious since they were talking about each move. It seemed like she was giving him some lessons on how to play.

            “Hi Katrina,” she said as she saw me. “Come and help us. You can help move the pieces.”

            “I’ve never played chess,” I said.

            “That’s OK. We will show you what to do.”

            So I joined them on the chess board. Like they said the pieces, although appearing to be large and heavy were actually quite light to move.

            “Now Katrina, let me show you what to do. In chess, each player has an army to fight against their opponent. The object of the game is to capture your opponent’s King, and then you will be winning the game.”

            She then walked over to the corner of the board. “This big one here is my King. See he has a crown on top. Over there,” she said pointing to another very large white piece, “This one is my Queen. A very powerful piece. Yes Katrina, in chess the woman is the strongest person on the whole board.”

            “Now I have some other strong pieces as well. This one shaped like a horse. He is a Knight. You know like ancient medieval knights.... like the one Sarvesh has upstairs," she explained as she touched a piece shaped like a horse head.
             Then she turned to the one next to him, "This one is a Bishop. See his pointed bishop hat. Over in front of my King is a Rook. See he looks like a castle on top. Some people call him a Castle. He is protecting my King. Now all these little ones which look the same are the foot soldiers. They are called Pawns.”
            I was trying to remember all she told me but she must have seen the confused look on my face because she smiled at me, “Don’t worry if you don’t remember all that. We’ll show you. You’ll soon get used it.”

            Hansini looked over at Jeevan. “Now where were we? I think it is your turn now.”

            Jeevan moved one of his big black pieces, a Bishop I think it was with the pointed hat. He came a long way across the board and placed it in a square beside one of the little white Pawns. He then took the White Pawn to the side of the board.

            “Not a bad move Jeevan, now you can threaten my Queen. But wouldn’t moving the Knight be better? That way you can threaten both my Queen and my Rook.”

            “I see that now,” he said. “Can we do that?”

            We replaced the pieces how they were and I pushed the Bishop piece while Jeevan replaced the little Pawn, then Jeevan took the Pawn with the Knight, the horse like piece. Hansini took the Knight with her Pawn and I rolled the Knight piece over to the side of the board.

            Suddenly things began to happen. Jeevan took the castle like Rook with his Bishop piece. To my surprise, he called out the word “Check”. I looked at Hansini not sure what he meant.

            She was smiling. “See Katrina, now Jeevan is attacking our King. That is why he called out ‘Check’”

            She moved her Queen, the very big one and took the offending Bishop off the board. Then Jeevan replied to taking her Queen with his own Queen. Hansini quickly replied by taking his Queen in return. I was being kept busy moving pieces to the side of the board.

            “That was a Queen swap-off,” she told me. “Stronger players do that when they think they can win without their Queen.”

            They continued playing and it seemed to me that Jeevan had more players on the board than she did. It was about that time that Sarvesh turned up with some of the others including Elizabeth.

            “What is this Hansini? Are you letting Jeevan get the better of you?”

            “We are only playing around,” explained Jeevan.

            “It looks to me like Hansini is off her game,” Sarvesh said with a smile. “Maybe I can beat you today. You owe me the chance to even with you.”

            “You can play now if you want,” said Jeevan. “We were not playing a serious game.”

            “Are you sure?” asked Sarvesh.

            “Yes,” replied Jeevan.

            I am not sure why Jeevan stopped playing. Maybe he was embarrassed to be playing in front of everyone else.

            “Ok Hansini,” Sarvesh said. “Prepare to be beaten.”

            “Sorry Sarvesh,” she told him with a laugh. “You’re the one who is going to get beaten.”
            Then I heard Amita laugh, "Honey, she is going to kick your arse!"
            I was shocked Amita would tell her husband like that. I looked over at him but he smiled.

            "We will see, Amita," he just said.
            He laughed but maybe there was a hint of worry on his face.

            “Jeevan, would you like to help me?” he asked.

            Hansini replied with, “Katrina you can help me if you want.”

            We set up all the pieces in two straight lines with the little men in front and the bigger ones behind. I found out that they all had special places to begin the game with. 

            Now the game began. Sarvesh started and Hansini quickly followed. It was a very fast game with one move quickly following another. It was a hard fought game too with both sides losing pieces in what looked to me like very fierce exchanges. Jeevan and I were kept busy most of the time moving players.
            All the time they were teasing and giving cheeky to each other, saying how each was going to loose. The other girls were teasing Sarvesh too which I thought was too funny.           I tried to understand the moves and some of them appeared to be easy but others I just could not figure out. The horse-shaped Knight was the most confusing. He appeared to move at random in any direction. I noticed that Hansini appeared to use her Knights a lot more than Sarvesh did.

            From time to time, one of them would call “Check” and I thought the game would be over but no it just seemed to continue.

            Soon I began to notice that there were more white pieces on the side of the board than were black. I began to think that Hansini was actually getting the better of him.

            This was confirmed when Sarvesh said, “Ah Hansini. You are a very good player.”

            She didn’t reply but just gave a shy smile.

            The game had slowed down now. There were times when Sarvesh had to think for a while before he moved but I noticed that Hansini’s reply still quickly followed each of his moves. I was thinking that now she had him worried.

            Then things seemed to happen. There was a quick exchange with players on both sides being taken off the board then suddenly Sarvesh threw up his hands.

            “I resign,” he said. “Hansini you are too good for me today.”

           This brought a round of applause from those watching. I knew that she had won but I was unsure how. I studied the board but there still seemed to be many black players. I could not understand why he gave up so soon.

            Hansini noticed me looking at the board. “What’s wrong Katrina?” she asked.

            “Why did he give in?” I asked.

            Sarvesh overheard me. “Ah Katrina,” he said. “She had me in an impossible position. See she was going to move her Queen here with the next move. Check!”

            Hansini added, “Then the Bishop here makes “Check” again. Then our Queen here is “Check Mate.”

            I understood that “Check Mate” meant the King was trapped and the game finished, so I said “Ok,” but really I still didn’t clearly see what they meant.

            But it had been fun, particularly since I was on the winning side.           

            It seemed that the guys really wanted to take Hansini in chess. She was becoming a challenge to them. Her teasing them wasn't helping them either. Mootie was next to ask her for a game.

            She accepted with a laugh, saying, “Ahh! Now another victim is lining up to be slaughtered.” She looked over at me, “Well Katrina, they can all try if they like but they won’t beat us today.” She seemed to be so confident, so boastful.

            Mootie asked Sarvesh to help him and Hansini kept me as her helper.

            Then Sarvesh dropped a surprise on us all. “Let’s make this more interesting. Let’s play for each other’s clothes?”

            I suddenly got worried. I wasn’t interested in playing Strip Chess. It was fun to listen to a story but playing for real. No, not me!

            But Hansini accepted again. “Ok then,” she laughed. “But different rules this time.”

            “No! I don't.......” I began to say but she interrupted me.

            “It’s OK Katrina she said to me quietly. “I can usually beat him easy, but I’m going to make it safer for us.”
            "But I don't think......"
            "It will be fine. I will beat him."
            She was so confident.

            “Now she said in a louder voice. “We play with eight items of clothing, not five. OK?”

            “Sure,” replied Sarvesh.

            “And the winner keeps their clothes on. Amita, no sneaking up afterwards, OK?”

            “Yes,” she nodded with a smile.

            Hansini then turned to me, “See that’s better now.”

            “But I don’t want to lose my clothing,” I told her.

            “It’s OK. I know I can beat him.”

            Well, I could have refused to play but with everyone watching me I felt like they were expecting me to play. Anyway like I said she seemed to be so confident she could beat him quickly. I was just pulled into this and now didn't see I could back out.

            To make up my eight items of clothing Mandara loaned me a hat and Amita gave me a pair of slip-on sandals. For the first item, I put a towel over my shoulders. I, of course, had on my bikini with the wrap-around skirt and my cover-up over my top. Hansini added a hat and sandals, then like me she put a towel over her shoulders as her eighth item. I noticed the guys had added clothes as well. 

            So we re-setup the pieces and began to play.

            Hansini let Mootie start. I asked her why and she said she liked going second because it showed her how the other player was moving. That didn’t make much sense to me but during the opening battles, we lost only five pieces where they had lost eight. I knew she was winning.

            For the next few turns, nothing seemed to be happening. Neither of us lost any pieces.

            Suddenly she said quietly, “Oh. I’m sorry Katrina.”

            “Why?” I asked.

            “I think I have made a mistake.”

            Suddenly a fear took hold of me. What if we lost I thought. I realised there I was, my modesty dependent on this game I knew nothing about and a woman I hardly knew. How did I get myself into this mess? I did not know what I could do.

            “Can you still beat him?” I asked very worried, now.

            “Yes I think so,” But she didn’t seem to have her usual confidence.

            Over the next few moves, nothing much seemed to happen. Then a few pieces were exchanged and once again it looked like we had done better than them. We now had seven men off the board but they had ten so surely we could still beat them.

            In the clothing, things looked good two. On our side, we still had nine items between us. Hansini was wearing her bikini under her shorts and shirt while I was wearing my bikini plus my cover-up top, wrap-around skirt and hat. On their side they only had four items between them, they both just wore shirts and shorts. So it appeared that whatever her mistake had been we had recovered.

            It occurred to me that the game might go closer than we had planned. Another five men lost and my bikini top would be on the line. I hoped it wouldn’t come to that but I considered it the possibility. I thought if it came to it I could probably live with losing my bikini top.

            Then Mootie moved one of his players. “Check!” he called.

            Hansini moved our King.

            Mootie moved another piece. “Check!” he called again.

            Hansini blocked him with her Bishop.

           I began to get a very worried. Even with my little knowledge of the game, this was beginning to look bad. Very bad!

            Then he moved his Queen. “Check!” he called for the third time.

            Swiftly Hansini blocked him with our Queen.

            Then Mootie moved his Queen, taking our Queen off. As Sarvesh rolled it away Mootie called out, “Check Mate!”

            With horror, I realised that we had lost the game.

            “Sorry, Katrina,” I heard Hansini say to me again. "I didn't mean this to happen."

            Now I realised I would have to strip. Not just my wrap-around or my bikini top but everything!

            I saw Hansini start to remove her top. I thought here goes as I unwrapped my skirt revealing the bikini bottom underneath. She was now bare breasted and I knew my top had to go too. I reached behind my back unclipping my top so it came loose, then with one quick movement but I held it against my breasts for a moment before I pulled it up over my head.

            I looked down at my now naked breasts with my nipples and everything completely exposed and on display. I felt so shy being like that.

            By now Hansini had removed her bikini bottom as well and she was standing there revealing the trimmed bush between her thighs to everyone watching. I hooked my thumbs in each side of my bikini pants and began to push down. Looking up I could see everyone now watching me, waiting for my show.

            Then I decided I had to get it over with and in one motion I pushed the bikini bottom down until it fell at my feet. Then stepping out of it I stood there completely naked. I could not believe what I had just done. Not only had I committed myself to playing Strip Chess but then I had ended up taking my all clothes off in front of all those people. Now there I was standing there, my nudity exposed to them all.
            I was sort of in a daze, I didn't move, I didn't try to cover myself. Suddenly Hansini must have noticed me. “Come on Katrina, you’ve given them enough show.”

            She grabbed my hand pulling me the few feet to the pool edge, then we both, half fell, half jumped and plunging into the water. The cool water hitting my naked body was a shock, bringing me out of my daze. Having gone under the water I found my feet and came up gasping for air.

            Hansini was standing nearby and she reached for me taking my arm then pulling me to her, she put her arm around my shoulder.

            “Are you alright, Katrina?” she asked.

            I nodded, “Yes I think so.”

            “Sorry for pulling you in like that. I thought you had enough of standing there all exposed.

            “I didn’t know what to do,” I told her.

            “It’s Ok, honey,” she said gently. “That was a brave thing you did. And you didn’t chicken out and run.”

            I looked down at my naked body in the water. I was still trying to believe I had actually taken my clothes off like that.

            “I’m sorry I put you through all of that. I shouldn’t have forced you to play,” she said.

            “It’s Ok now,” I replied.

            “Yes can’t believe I let Mootie beat me. I won’t live that down for a while,” she laughed.

            “Yes, I know you did your best. You did expect to win.”

            “It was a bit of a shock, wasn’t it? But then don’t you think it is also a little bit naughty taking our clothes off like that?” she said with a grin.

            I was beginning to think that too. Taking my clothes off was a shock. It was hard to do but now I was in the pool I was feeling a little bit naughty too.

            I smiled back at her. “Not a little bit naughty,” I said. “Very naughty!”

            She smiled back, pulling me to her, giving me a hug. “That’s the girl,” she said. “You are in the pool now. Forget you’re naked and enjoy yourself.”

            “Forget I’m naked! That's a bit hard to do.”

            “You know what I mean.” Then turning to the others still just standing or sitting there watching she called. “Get your clothes off and come on in. The water is lovely.”

            Soon they were all stripping their clothes off and we were soon joined by another seven naked people. The only one who didn’t strip was Elizabeth and she stayed in her bikini. 

            After the swim, I got out and went looking for my clothes. I was feeling more comfortable with my body by then so without bothering to dry myself off I just found my wrap-around and tied it around my hips. I dropped the two halves of my bikini onto the table and sat down for a drink with my breasts still bare and wearing nothing under my tiny skirt.

            I did notice a couple of the guys including Sarvesh enjoyed my charms but I was kind of enjoying showing off too so made no attempt to cover myself either.

            Soon it was time for lunch and when I went off with Elizabeth to prepare it I didn’t bother getting dressed but just went topless wearing only that skirt.

            Once we were away from the group Elizabeth asked me, “Aren’t you going to cover up?”

            “No,” I said. “I’m comfortable like this now.”

            “I can’t believe you stripped off in front of everybody like that.”

            “Well I didn’t really have much choice did I? And anyway don’t you think it was kind of fun. A little bit naughty!”

            “Fun!” she said. “Flaunting yourself like that. Have you no shame? It’s not fun it’s indecent. I hope they don’t expect me to bare my body in front of everyone.”

            I was a bit surprised at her attitude now. For a moment I wished I had put my clothes back on and then I thought, “Wait a minute it was her problem, not mine.”

            We had arrived at the kitchen by then, she turned on me again. “Don’t you feel embarrassed at what you are wearing? Look at you flaunting your body like that. And I suppose you don’t have anything on under your skirt, do you?”

            By then I had almost had enough of her. Suddenly feeling a bit wicked I took my skirt pulling it up. “No, I’m not wearing anything.”

            At that moment Amita came in. Catching sight of my little pussy flash she said with a grin, “What Katrina, still showing off your pussy?”

            Then she caught sight of Elizabeth. Her smile disappeared as she became serious. “Is everything alright girls?”

            “Not really,” I said. “Elizabeth doesn’t like what I am wearing.”

            Suddenly Amita realised what the problem was and quickly, she took charge of the situation.

            “Katrina, you carry on with lunch. Get everything laid out and we’ll be back soon to help you carry it out. Elizabeth, you better come with me.”

            They disappeared and not feeling too happy now, I set to work. When I was ready they still hadn’t appeared so picking up some plates I headed to the pool.

            Sarvesh asked me where Elizabeth was.

            “I don’t know,” I said. “Amita took her off to talk to her. I haven’t seen them since.”

            I had just turned to go back for another load when I heard a voice close behind me. “Katrina, do you need a hand?” asked Hansini.

            I turned to see her and Mega had got up and were following me. Glad for a help and for the company, I said, “Thank you Hansini.”

            When we got to the kitchen she asked me, “Is everything alright?”

            “No,” I said bursting into tears. “Elizabeth didn’t like me taking my clothes off.”

            “Oh!” she said. Then reaching for me, “Come here dear, it will work its self out.” she tried to comfort me. ”Nudity, for some people, takes a bit of getting used to. I’m sure she’ll be OK once she talks with Amita.”

            Mega added, “You did it the best way Katrina. You had no choice once you lost the game; You just jumped straight in.”

            “Yes,” said Hansini, “and you had fun once we were all in the pool, didn’t you, Katrina?”

            “Yes,” I nodded wiping my eyes.

            After holding me for a minute she let me go saying, “Come on let’s get these things out to the pool. Everyone will be hungry.”

            We took everything back to the pool and once I had placed the plates on the table immediately I went and found my bikini. Fitting on the top and then stepping into the bottom. I then went back to help serving lunch. When I sat down to eat I didn’t feel like eating. I just picked at my food. I saw Hansini watching me and I think Sarvesh had noticed me too but neither said anything.

            After lunch, we took everything back and they gave me a hand cleaning up. I was a bit embarrassed that our guests were working in the kitchen. What would Amita say when she found out. I told them to leave it to me but they insisted on staying.

            Just as we finished Amita appeared. She quickly took note of the scene and thanked the two women and once they had gone she turned to me.

            “Elizabeth is not staying for the rest of the day. She has just left in a taxi.” She saw the worried look on my face and she added. “She is alright. She is just not comfortable with so much nudity. I think you having to undress like that scared her a bit too. She thought she was expected to do the same.”

            “Is she upset with me?” I asked.

            “I think a bit at first but she is OK now. She told me to say she was sorry and wants you to ring her, in a few days. She just wants to think about things for a while first.”

            Then as we turned and walked back towards the pool, she put her hand on my shoulder and asked, “Katrina are you sure you are alright?”

            “Yes, I am fine. I was happy before what she said.”

            “Well she won’t be coming back and I don’t think we will replace her. I am sure you can manage if we girls help you.” Then she stopped and looked at me. “You do want to continue helping us don’t you?”

            “Yes,” I replied. “Like I said before, I was thinking it was kind of fun before this.”

            “Yes, it is fun. Good fun as long as we don’t hurt anybody.”       

            When we got back to the pool we found them sitting around talking. “Where is Sarvesh?” Amita asked.

            “He said he was going to get The Letters Book,” Jeevan said.

            “Oh good!” Amita said. “I could do with a nice romantic story. And I’m sure Katrina could too.”

            When Sarvesh returned she asked if she could choose the story. Turning through the pages she found the story she wanted.

            I was pouring a drink for Jeevan when she said, “Take a seat Katrina, I think you are going to enjoy this.”

            As I found my seat she began the read.

            This story was told by Shanti. It is about the first time Mike took her to a beach with large waves. It also was the first time she had ever worn a bikini at the beach as well. As I listened to how she lost her new bikini in the ocean I remembered how earlier in the day how scary it was to take my own bikini off and then how suddenly it was nice swimming naked in the pool.

            Without her bikini, she had to walk all the way back to their car wearing only a see-through cover-up. They decided to take a route through the sand hills to avoid being seen and when they found a hidden place in the hills they stopped and made love.

            It was a nice story, very romantic too. I even liked the part where they made love because it fitted in with how much they loved each other. When she was reading about their love-making I was feeling a bit strange myself. I felt hot and excited at the same time. I would have liked to jump into the pool but I couldn’t stop listening to the story.

            Anyway, it ended shortly after that when they put back on the clothes they had and made it safely back to the car without being seen. 

            Looking up at us as she closed the book Amita said, “That Shanti knows how to tell a good story doesn’t she?”

            “Yes,” agreed Mandara. “But I think her other beach story is better.”

            “Maybe Mandara, but that story is more erotic than romantic.”

            “No!” replied Mandara as she disagreed with Amita. “I think that other story was very romantic.”

            I was feeling that I would love to hear that story as well and then I could have made up my own mind which was the best.              

            When they decided on going swimming again they all went in nude. I decided to join them like that too. Quickly I unwrapped my skirt and then took my bikini off.

            For more than an hour, I enjoyed swimming like that with eight other people who were as naked as I was.  When we came to get out it was easy to get out of the water and walk over to the seat where I had left my bikini. I decided not to bother with my bikini but no wanting to sit there totally naked I just slipped the skirt back on.  

            That was how I was for the rest of the day until it was time to make dinner. Even then I didn’t bother getting dressed instead going about my duties bare-breasted wearing only the tiny skirt with nothing underneath. 

            A few days later I gave Elizabeth a call. She chatted with me for a few minutes and we arranged to meet one evening. We sat in the back of a small restaurant shop to talk.

            She told me that she had decided not to do the job again which I knew already. When she asked if I would, I decided to say I’d think about it first. I did not want her to know that I had already agreed to continue.

            Well, things were a bit strained between us and although we still see each other from time to time, we are no longer good friends like we used to be. 

           At the next special weekend, I watched the three men trying to beat Hansini in chess. They were all beaten soundly but still, they returned to try again. Finally, over dinner, I asked Sarvesh why when he will usually get beaten.
           "Oh Katrina," he laughed. "It is not just about winning."
           "Then why do you men keep playing her?"
           "When men play chess they use logic, mathematics and science. With a woman like Hansini, she plays with instinct,  passion and emotion. It is very sexy playing such a woman."
            I did not understand and I think it must have shown on my face.
            "Hansini, my wife is a kind gentle woman," Mootie began. "I love her for those qualities. When she plays chess she becomes like a cold, ruthless killer. She plays with emotion and takes enjoyment in winning. Like a predator in my Game Reserve, she enjoys the kill."
          The Jeevan added, "Sometimes her kill is quick, sometimes she plays like a cat plays with a mouse."
          I heard the women giggling behind me.
          "It is exciting, like a sexual thing to play her," Sarvesh added.
          "Is that true?" I asked looking over at Hansini.
          She smiled and said, "Do I look like a ruthless killer, Katrina?"
          "Well, no..... But they said you........"
          "Oh forget them. They are just guys, making excuses for not being able to beat me."
          Amita started to laugh and Hansini joined in. Soon they were all laughing. I could not understand their joke. Was it about me or something they said? I don't know. 

            So that was my story and Amita tells me that since it is very long we might need to break it into two parts.

                        Bye for now,

                                                Katrina.
