Some years ago, an excellent writer of adult fiction, writing under the pseudonym "Little Joe," created several characters inspired by myself and several lovely ladies we both knew. One character was based on me, Bobbie Kaye, and was nicknamed Cutie, or Little Miss Cutie. Little Joe posted a number of these wonderful stories, in which Bobbie Kaye and her friend Gretchen worked at a hotel in Great Britain, supervised by "Little" Joe. The stories were quite lighthearted, and the characters invariably ended up naked and very embarrassed. He later added Kristy, inspired by my own sister, and Emily, based on a dear friend from Australia.
This is the second story in my new Cariny series. Cariny is inspired by a friend of mine, a very real and very lovely woman.
As I've said in some of my other stories, when I write, you'll find it is 95% story, and 5% sex. I don't necessarily enjoy stories that focus too much on detailed description of sexual encounters. This particular story has no sex, just some hot girl-girl kissing, and some very embarrassing unwanted nudity. As in real life, sex is only a small part of who we are, and that is reflected in the stories I write. I hope you enjoy this embarrassing little tale!
Cariny's New Category
By Bobbie Kaye (Cutie)
After desperately fabricating a few more feeble excuses, both girls resigned themselves to their fates. They were going to have to make out for two whole minutes! The guys gently prodded the two women until they were facing each other. Marcia was about three inches shorter than Cariny, with straight, shoulder length jet-black hair and wispy bangs. She reluctantly put her arms around her friend's neck, while Cariny's hands met behind Marcia's back. She tried to imagine she was just giving her friend a hug.
Their eyes met, Cariny's luminous blue gazing into Marcia's smoldering brown. Their faces were inches apart. Cariny realized how pretty Marcia was, something she'd never really noticed before, not this way. She looked at her friend's slightly parted red lips, and slowly moved closer. She could feel Marcia's hot breath, the lingering scent of red wine faintly discernible.

There were a few board games Cariny Knudsen really enjoyed playing, and at the top of the list was Trivial Pursuit. Numerous versions of the classic game had been produced over the years, and she'd played most of them. Her favorite category in the core game was Arts & Literature, as this was her area of expertise. An English major in college, she was well read, a connoisseur of both American and English Literature. And while she was blessed with little artistic talent herself, she'd absorbed a great deal of knowledge over the years, and had a tremendous appreciation for art.
She also enjoyed the finer forms of entertainment, such as ballet, opera, the symphony, and stage plays. To her boyfriend Steve, however, there was no finer form of entertainment than munching on chips and drinking beer in front of the TV, watching college or professional football. She was crazy about him anyway, and he treated her well. But he'd never taken her to a truly cultural affair, and it seemed unlikely he ever would, at least not of his own volition.
So Cariny and her dear friend Marcia came up with an idea that, if things went as planned, would result in an evening at the opera for themselves and their boyfriends. When Marcia and her man Charlie arrived late Saturday afternoon, the girls began to implement their well-planned scheme. Steve fired up the barbecue, and was soon grilling his specially marinated steaks. Marcia opened the bottle of cabernet she'd brought along, pouring generous glasses for herself and Cariny, while Charlie and Steve popped a couple of icy beers.
After dinner, the friends gathered around the kitchen table, where Cariny set up Trivial Pursuit. The girls usually defeated the guys rather handily, although Steve and Charlie would never admit that their girlfriends might be smarter. The guys knew the Sports & Leisure category, certainly. But Cariny excelled in both Arts & Literature and in History, while Marcia knew the Geography and Entertainment categories backward and forward. The girls could generally hold their own in Science & Nature, so against their boyfriends they held a decided advantage.
But this time, Cariny and Marcia planned on using the game for their own personal gain. Before starting, Cariny proposed a wager. "If we win, you two have to take us to see 'Adriana Lecouvreur' next month. It's a famous opera. That means suits, ties, fancy dinner, the works."
Steve and Charlie glanced at each other, pained expressions on their faces, then both let out little chuckles. "Okay," Steve replied, "but what if we win?"
"You name it," said Marcia. "We'll cook your favorite meal, watch football with you, bring you snacks and beer all day, whatever you want."
"No, you'll find some reason to back out," argued Charlie.
"No," said Cariny, "we'll do it. Whatever you say, we'll do it."
"We promise!" added Marcia, and Cariny nodded enthusiastically.
Steve called Charlie into the other room for a conference. As they returned, Charlie asked "Do we have to name the wager now, or can we wait until we win?"
Marcia glanced confidently at Cariny, then replied "You're not going to win, so it's moot."
"Sure," added Cariny, "just write the stakes down, and seal it in an envelope. If you somehow manage to beat us..."
"And you won't," interjected Marcia.
Cariny giggled. "Then we'll open the envelope, and we'll do whatever it says."
"You're on," Steve proclaimed, and they took their places around the table.
"We play until three players, or both players on one team, finish," announced Marcia. "The winning team is whichever has both players finish the game." With that, she rolled the first dice of the night.
As the evening progressed, Cariny couldn't recall ever having seen the dice fall quite as they had been. With almost every roll, it seemed, Steve and Chuck landed on the yellow spaces, generating Sports & Leisure questions. Baseball, football or basketball, pro or college, golf, boxing, Olympics, it didn't matter. The guys knew their sports.
Cariny and Marcia managed to maneuver around the board, mostly catching relatively simple questions, but late in the game, surprisingly enough, both of the guys were doing quite well.
Then Marcia hit a hot streak, and when she had to answer a Sports & Leisure question to finish, she got an easy one. "Who won the Major League Baseball World Series in 1961?" Steve read from the card.
"The New York Yankees!" she blurted out with total confidence. She wasn't sure why she knew, but she did, and she was right. That left Cariny and the guys in the game.
