I actually started writing this story over three years ago, and I STILL haven’t finished it…!!!
Reasons:
(i) It’s difficult to find the time to sit down and write.
(ii) I’m a virgin. I have no real-life experience of sexual intercourse.

I usually write my stories “backwards” or “from the outside inwards”…
i.e., I know how I want my story to end, and I know where I want my story to begin. So I usually begin with just the prologue and the epilogue, and sometimes I may even work out the epilogue first.
I work out the overall “structure” of the story, then add more “substance”/details.

Okay. So this particular story that I’m going to discuss here doesn’t really have much of a “plot”. But here’s the outline:

1. A young man and a young woman, who are initially just platonic friends, end up having a brief sexual relationship (lasts a few weeks, and they have sex just three times).
2. They then part ways, and never meet again.
3. The young woman ends up marrying another man, and for the first five years of her marriage, she is unable to engage in any kind of intimacy with her husband – neither emotional intimacy nor physical intimacy.
4. She then, by chance, attends a conference where her old lover happens to be delivering a presentation/speech. She sees him, hears that he is married to another woman, and therefore she chooses not to make any effort to meet with him. He does not see her, and is completely unaware that she is in attendance. Emotionally, she is thoroughly overwhelmed when she sees him again after all these years – she feels a mixture of tremendous joy, excitement, and a feeling of loss…
5. Just seeing her old lover married to another woman somehow provides her with a sense of “closure”, and she is finally able to let go of her “bittersweet memory”. When she returns home from the conference, she is finally able to “open up” to her husband.
6. Her husband loves her deeply, and now she loves him too, but she chooses not to tell him of the brief affair that she had before their marriage, forever keeping it secret, burying it deep within her heart. Her husband, who until now has felt deeply hurt by her rather distant behaviour, is at a loss to understand what has brought about the sudden change in her, nonetheless, he is just deeply grateful to “have her back”, and accepts her wholeheartedly without any questions.

When fully written, the bulk of the story is going to be about the relationship between the young man and the woman (before her marriage, i.e. point “1” in the list above). The other points I’ve mentioned will go into the prologue and the epilogue.

I feel that the best way to convey the overall "emotional tone" of the story is through music. I’d like diegetic music in the epilogue, where there will be a reference to “The Snow Prelude N. 15”. It’s a beautiful piece of music, very pleasant, yet has undertones of melancholy (at least, that’s my perception of it). I think it conveys the “mood” I want to leave the reader with. It sums up the overall “mood” of the story.

The characters:

Srivalli Sethuraman: She’s the central character of the story, in addition to being the female protagonist. She looks a little bit like this (second image - the one on the right - added on 25 Feb 2012):

Date of birth: 14 September 1978
Ethnicity: South Asian, from southern India.
Height: 5’3”
Occupation: Doctor, with an interest in clinical genetics
She’s a kind-hearted young woman, a rather shy, reserved, very timid and demure person by nature. She’s an observant Hindu.
There are two things in life she cares about: being a “good daughter” to her parents, and doing well academically.
Although she is not classically beautiful, she nevertheless possesses a raw sensuality, a kind of earthy sexiness.
Morally, religiously, culturally, she does not agree with pre-marital sex. She is sexually inexperienced, and has never been motivated to explore/express her own sexuality. When she meets Kary Montezinhos (the male protagonist of the story), everything changes.


Kary Montezinhos:
Date of birth: 29 June 1981
Ethnicity: Mixed: His father is Portugese, his mother from southern India. (Srivalli is initially unaware of his part-Indian heritage).
Height: 6’1”
Occupation: Doctor, with an interest in immunology and haematology
He’s an impetuous young man, who befriends Srivalli, and becomes one of the very few people that she grows to trust.

[Added on 25 February 2012] I thought of the following three guys as possible models for the Kary Montezinhos character:

They are both doctors, and they work together. Initially, they do not get along, but quickly they do become good friends. Slowly, an unspoken romantic tension builds between them. Eventually, the romantic tension turns into sexual tension, and they end up having sex at least three times.

MORE TO COME LATER…

Brief outline of story

The overall outline is going to be:

Prologue (set in the present day); followed by...

Main body of the story: (flashback to seven years previously):

• Kary (the male protagonist) and Srivalli (the female protagonist) meet. Initially Srivalli (also referred to as “Sree”) takes a bit of a dislike to Kary.

• However, over a period of time, she grows to like him. They grow close.

• One evening, they have a very brief moment of intimacy (i.e. Kary happens to touch her on her waist). Their “intimacy” doesn’t proceed any further on that particular occasion, primarily because Sree feels awkward, or at least, she appears to react a little awkwardly – with apparent discomfiture.

• They continue to meet, working together on their professional projects.

• On one occasion, when Kary is helping Sree prepare for an exam, he touches her intimately again. On this occasion, he caresses her, fondles her and kisses her. Somehow, on this occasion, she makes no effort to resist or object. Kary goes as far as performing cunnilingus on her. This scene is the first time Srivalli has an orgasm.

• They continue to meet.

• Immediately after her exam, she meets with him, tells him how nervous she’s feeling about the result (because she feels she didn’t do very well in her exam). He gently reassures her, and once again, they end up becoming intimate, and they have anal sex on that occasion.

• Finally, immediately after she finds out she passed her exam, she tells him the good news. He also has to tell her that he’s leaving (in fact, he told her a little while ago). He happens to be leaving the next day, moving to a new job the following week. So he goes to her apartment. On that occasion, they end up making passionate love, almost through the night.

• The next morning, Kary leaves.

• The following day, Srivalli starts to experience intense anxiety, as she begins to worry that she might have gotten pregnant.

Epilogue.
 
Okay, to begin with, I’m going to be working on the following three scenes: “Kary leaves”, “Cunnilingus” and “Epilogue”. (Did I mention I tend to write my stories “backwards” sometimes?)

“Kary leaves” is the scene immediately after the last sex scene. It’s where Kary, the male protagonist, exits the story. It’s where the story stops being a “sex story” and becomes (I think) a romance story.

Basically, the male and the female protagonist have been making love all night (or for much of the night, anyway), and in the morning, Kary has to leave.


“Kary is leaving”

He loaded his last rucksack into the boot of the taxi, and then closed it. He turned around, walked up to her, and offered a handshake.

As they shook hands, they stood looking into each others’ eyes for a good while. A look of regret in his eyes, a look of deep disappointment in hers. She bowed her head.

Their hands stayed locked for several moments. Her eyes remained lowered. To her own great surprise, she remained rather composed.

“Take care of yourself, Sree,” he said softly. “Look after yourself…” She remained silent.

He wanted to tell her again that he was going to miss her. He wanted to promise her that they would meet again… but somehow he couldn’t quite say the words. Although he did not want to be insensitive, he most certainly did not want to sound insincere. He knew that would hurt her even more.

The silence seemed interminable – even sorrowful – yet not awkward.

“Bye…” he said. She managed a weak smile, and that didn’t last beyond a few moments. Her eyes looked so pained.

He could feel her hurt, and it broke his heart. But there really was nothing he could do.

He felt he was letting her down. He promised himself that he would make it up to her. But what? And how? He didn’t know, but he promised himself he would find a way. He had to.

“Bye Sree,” he said softly, once again. He turned, walked to the taxi, and stepped in.

He fastened his seatbelt, shut his passenger door and turned to the driver. “Yes.. the station please – the train station…”

He turned around again, to look at her face.

As the taxi pulled off, he waved at her. She waved back. The taxi turned, cutting them off.

As the vehicle drove off, around the corner, disappearing from view, everything seemed to fall silent. A cold breeze was blowing, rustling the leaves on the trees. There was a sense of calm.


To be continued…

 
Apologies folks!!!

I wasn't trying to bump this thread up for no good reason...

I was just testing something out (to figure out the "character limit" for each post... I've just found out, the "character limit" is 250000 characters per post)...

Sorry for the trouble!!

Why does Srivalli not have intercourse with her husband? What is she afraid of?
