I should say that Saskia has a lovely body. I met her when I was rowing: she was in her second year and captain of the Women's first crew at the university where we studied in Amsterdam. The truth was that she seduced me. I was a foreign student from the UK, and she was this very gorgeous, very confident girl from Limburg who talked with beautifully soft and rounded 'g' sounds that you only hear way south of Amsterdam.
It was her that taught me my first Dutch phrase. I'd only been in Amsterdam a few days, and was still going through the orientation programme. I signed up for crew and was at the first party organised by the rowing club.
The idea of the party was to get newbies integrated into the club. So an existing member would 'adopt' you for the evening and make sure that you had a good time. Saskia latched onto me pretty much as soon as I arrived at the venue, pouring me drinks and talking to me about rowing.
She fooled me into believing that 'neuken in de keuken' was some form of polite greeting and had me go round saying it to as many people as I could. It seemed to make me very popular -- people laughed and smiled in response to my attempt to speak their language, responding by repeating the same phrase back again. As the drinks flowed and the music started, everything was good in my world. I only found out later that they were all in on the joke.
Just as the party was starting to rock, Saskia invited me back to her apartment. Initially, I turned her down. As a first year, I needed to get to know my crew. Whilst I had been able to have a brief chat with the Men's captain, I had barely spoken to anyone other than saying 'Neuken in the Keuken' to people. When I explained this to her, Saskia took me by the hand, walked me over to the Men's captain and spoke to him briefly in Dutch. A wry smile broke across his face. Then he simply lifted his hand and waved a goodbye before returning to his friends.
Leaving the party, we cycled across the canal belt before parking our bikes. Saskia lived in a beautiful old place that formed the top floor of a house overlooking the historic 'Keizersgracht'. I remember what happened next very well. I was leaning on a worksurface in her kitchen whilst Saskia made us tea when she asked me if I knew what I had been saying all night.
"Neuken in de keuken," I replied smiling.
"But do you really know what it means?" she asked, smiling back.
I replied, "Of course, it's a form of greeting, a hello of sorts. People replied by saying the same thing back to me. Seemed to be quite the ice-breaker in fact, I got to know quite a few of your friends."
Saskia smiled impishly, telling me that she'd teach me what it really meant, but first she needed to go pee. As I waited for her return, I sat on the kitchen worksurface, sipping my drink.
When Saskia returned a few moments later, I almost fell over. She had stripped down and presented herself wearing the most beautiful lacy bra and matching blue G-string panties I had ever seen. They weren't slutty -- they were classy; she clearly had exquisite taste. I did a double take as she walked in; she was tall, her body was ripped with muscle, and she was incredibly body confident.
As I was stumbling for words, she grabbed the bottom of my shirt and pulled it over my head. It got stuck, so she just yanked it apart; buttons flew everywhere and she pulled it off my back.
