Hi from Awesome Anne.
Here we are at the end of the wedding holiday. Katrina is married to David, they have all had a lot of fun, now they are all going home. There will be three leaving India stories, of which this is the first. We see the leaving India through the eyes of someone who is not leaving, staying behind in India.
I chose Amita because she is one of my favourite Indian characters. I also chose her as it gave me a chance to work with Shanti and Sarvesh again too. Have some more fun with those two!
A few months back when James wrote his story "Living Statues" his approach intrigued me. The idea of daydreaming about sex that has gone before rather than telling of the sex while it happened. I decided to give this a go too. That is where the sex scenes came from.
The sex scenes needed to be a contrast as you would expect between these two couples. It is their personalities that makes it. Shanti refusing to give in to Sarvesh, while he needed to be in charge. With Amita and Mike, it was the total opposite, both working together to make some great sex.
At the last moment, I moved that entire sex scene between Sarvesh and Shanti to much later point in the story, to when Amita was in the room they had been in, dreaming about what she had heard from Shanti. Hope it works better here.
I wanted to take Amita through a variety of moods and emotions as she deals with her friends leaving for their homes. This had to be an emotional time for her, with tears, through to happiness. Some even tried to cheer her up with the odd joke too. It had to be all there as we would expect with a complex character like Amita.
Allan snr wrote that story about Nishi the maid. (Story 216 Part Four) I thought I would support him by writing her into my story as well. Joseph thinks he saw a maid downstairs while in the other story she told Steve she was hiding, waiting for Joseph to go so she could come up the stairs. There is a connection there, making the two stories complement each other.
So there it is. All done and about to be published.
Go read it. Enjoy the story,
Anne.
