They both rested in bed, hugging each other for
a while. They had made amends and now, the only thing they wanted was to be as
close as possible to each other; there was nothing to do all day, so they had
time. Nick turned to look at her, just watching how happy she was; finally, she
got what she wanted, to embrace him with all her love, then she saw how a
little sorrow was drawn in his face.
“Don´t be sad, I´m not mad, I promise” she said
as she smiled at him, caressing his cheek.
“I know, but… I feel bad” he said turning to
the side with a guilty look on his face.
“Don´t feel bad, look at me Nick… I forgive
you” she took him by the chin and gently turn his gaze at her. He saw her in
the eyes and he knew she meant it when she said she forgave him, but he still
felt some guilt churning inside him. As she laid there smiling at him, he just
felt down, and he wasn´t sure why. But he smiled anyway.
“Come on Nick, what do I have to do to…” then
her phone rang, she extended her arm and grabbed it. “Hello?” she answered.
Nick was confused, who could be calling? Maybe it
was from her office, or some friend? He wasn´t sure. She stood up and left him
there, laying alone in bed; he turned his head, following her until she came
out of the room. As if she didn´t want him to know who was it, or why they were
calling.
He decided to check, he peeked his head out of
the room and could hear some of the conversation. He didn´t like to spy on her
this way, but he was curious, for some reason, he felt the need to know, to
find out what she was up to; not that he thought she was planning something
bad, but he just needed to know what she was doing.
“No, not at all…” she was saying, “yes, we had
a little fight, but everything´s ok now… I´m sure about it, you know, he´s a
little sweetheart, but sometimes he gets a little stubborn…” She was talking
about him, that was for sure, but with who?
“He did? Really?” She said as Nick was
wondering “He who?”. “Well, thank you for all… yes… ok… aha… sounds great. Ok,
now I´ve got to go, but actually, there´s a little something I´d like to ask
you… No no, I don´t want to take any more of your time, I´ll call you later to
let you know… I appreciate that, bye” he didn´t catch a thing about what she
was talking about.
She just turned, looking straight on his direction,
he tried to hide inside the room fast, but he was sure she had seen him. He
didn´t want her to know that he was watching her from the other side of the
room. He jumped over the bed and covered himself with the sheets, trying to
look casual, as if he had been there the whole time. Then she came in.
“Sorry for that… now, where were we?” she said
as she leaned and crawled over the bed next to him. He felt her weight over the
bed, with every move she made, he shook a little over the bed, not that she was
fat, but he wasn´t sure by how much more she overweighted him, maybe they
should take those measurements too.
“So, did you heard what I was talking about?”
she asked him playfully, poking on his nose with her index finger.
“W-what, no! I was just laying here, how could
I hear anything?” he lied, he´d feel really embarrassed if she found out, but
apparently, she did.
“Haha, don´t try to hide it, I saw YOU… relax,
it´s ok, it´s normal” he wasn´t sure what she meant with “normal”, but, judging
by her reaction, she wasn´t mad.
“Ok, I was watching, not that I don’t trust you
or anything, but I just, I… I don´t know…” he said, and it was true, his body was
carried all the way there on his own, not for a second, he thought about doing
it; by the time he realized what he was doing, he was already on the door frame
checking on her.
She just stood there contemplating his body for
a while, like eating him up with her eyes. He wasn´t sure why, he just turned
back and forth, meeting her eyes and then looking away. She just leaned and
laid next to him, then she embraced him again between her arms, and said to his
ear:
“Do you want to know who it was?” he did, he so
desperately did, he was sure part of the conversation was about him.
“Uhmm, y-yes… but only if you want to tell me”
he said trying not to look so desperate.
She just smiled at him and said in a calm way:
“Well, it was your boss, apparently, a little someone told her about our
fight…” she said walking her fingers over his reduced chest, “aaand, she just
wanted to check on… well, she asked how I was feeling but, I´m pretty sure she
wanted to know how you were” he just opened his eyes wider, why would Miss
Williams call her if she wanted to know about him?
“It´s funny, it seems as if your boss wants to
check on you, but thru me haha… should I be worried?” she said in a sardonic
way.
“I… uhm, well, it´s…” he couldn´t say anything,
he didn´t know the reason why Miss Williams called her, but he felt as if she
wanted an answer, he rose his knees beneath the sheets, as if trying to protect
himself.
“Haha, I´m kidding, there´s no need to answer
that, where you really thinking I could come up with that kind of idea? Chill
out, you know I´m not the jealous type…” she continued coming closer to him,
“besides, I know we have something really special here, and I´m certain you
know it too.” She saw him into his eyes as she said that.
Nick stood there for a moment, just
contemplating the shine in his eyes, he felt something only by seeing her, as
if there was no one else, no other person but the two of them; and not only in
the room, when she saw him like this, he felt as if they were the only two people
in the planet, just destined to be together. But there was something else, when
she left, for some reason, he felt the need to be with her. To search for her,
as if now, for some reason, he needed her.
“I love you” he simply said, kissing her in the
lips.
“Awww, I love you too honey pie, and you know
that I´m always going to love you” she then hugged him, but this time, she hugged
him tight; he felt as if his lungs were about to pop up from all the pressure,
so he just coughed a little and she let go.
“Sorry, guess I´m a little too strong for you
now” she laid back and allowed him to breath.
After that, they got up and started checking on
lunch, well, actually it was Maddy the one who got in charge of it; Nick just
sat on the couch watching TV, he offered his help, but she said it was ok if he
went to do something else in the meantime. He just searched for something to
watch, but he couldn´t find anything that caught his attention, the only thing
that actually did, was his girlfriend. He stood there for a while, just
watching how she went from side to side on the kitchen, chopping, pouring and
overall, cooking. He watched how her clothes enveloped around her curves,
watching how the shape of her butt was reveled beneath the thin layer of
fabric; he was hypnotized by her, without knowing it, her body held some kind
of power over him. Nick only turned when he felt his member poking on the arm
of the couch, he swallowed and turn back at the TV, feeling somehow nervous.
For some reason, it felt wrong to look at her
in that way, to watch her from far away without her permission; she was his
girlfriend, but in a way, it just didn´t felt right. He was not the kind of men
who ogles at women, but now, he felt the need to do it. There was something he
was searching for, he just didn´t knew what.
“Lunch´s ready” she said stepping out of the
kitchen and removing her apron.
He heard her and hoped off of the couch, when
he walked into the kitchen, everything was served. There were two plates on the
table and a pair of glasses with something to drink; both plates had the same
amount of food, which worried Nick a little, he wasn´t sure if he´d be able to
eat it all up. The menu for today was cordon bleu chicken with mashed potatoes,
and some broccoli; to drink, a glass of soda, nothing very fancy, but it made
the trick.
“Wow, it looks delicious” he said.
“Why thank you hon, I knew you´d like it, just
let me know if you want more, ok?” she said as she sat and grabbed her fork.
But he knew that there won´t be a need to serve him again, he wasn´t sure if
there was enough room inside him for all this food.
He started eating, at least he could eat a big
part of this delicious food, so he began, starting with the chicken.
“Nick, I have something to tell you, well, I
should´ve told you before, but I guess, better later than never.” He turned to
watch her as she spoke.
“Well, when Rachel called me, she said that she
was going to… uhm… take a week off from work, starting on Monday” he was
listening, but he wasn´t sure what he´ll do without her on the office, Miss
Williams was the one who assigned him his daily tasks, without her there, he
wasn´t sure how to proceed.
“While she´s gone, she asked me to tell you
that you´ll also have that week off, and that´s next week” she said, not
expressing much excitement about it.
“Ok…” he said, “I´m getting a one-week vacation
too? Cool” he said.
“Well, that´s not precisely good, you know, my
vacations are over tomorrow, and then, I´ll need to go to work from nine to
five, what am I going to do with you during all that time?” she asked, he
wasn´t sure why she was thinking about it, he could stay there alone, no
problem; if he was not able to get out of the house, that was find, but he
could stay inside with no problems at all.
“Honey, it´s ok, I can take care of myself” he
said.
She just turned at him, and said: “Are you
suuure? Cause I think that it´ll be better if I hire a babysitter, I mean, I´d
take you to work with me, but that´s not allowed.” What does she mean?
Babysitter? He was an adult, he didn´t need another adult to look for him.
“Wow wow, hold on, a babysitter? Are you sure?
I mean, there´s no need, I´m a man, I can…” he stopped as she started to dial
some number on her phone. “What are you doing?” he asked.
“Hold on” she said putting the phone on her ear
and waiting for the other person to answer.
“Maddy, don´t you just…” he was about to speak
when she rose her index finger, telling him to keep quiet; that was because the
person on the other end had answered.
“Yes, hi, how are you?” she asked, Nick just
sat there, mad, but quiet.
“I´m find too, thank you… but, there´s a
liiiiittle favor I´d like to ask you, are you busy next week?... No? That´s
great, do you think you could come from nine to five during the next weeeek?”
she made an expression as if she was waiting for an answer, maybe pushing her
luck by even asking. Nick´s eyes just widened, she didn´t give a damn about his
opinion, she was trying to get someone to take care of him, he was pissed.
“Yes? Wow, thank you, thank you thank you thank
you” she seemed excited, it seems as if her plan had worked. “Why? Oh, it´s
because… remember what I told you the other day?... yes… aha… it´s funny, he´s
off next week, and since I need to go back to work, I need someone to be here
with him… come on, it´ll be find, you don´t have to worry, I assure you he´ll
be a dear.” Nick was starting to get frustrated, every second that went by he
only got more upset, but he knew she meant nothing bad with what she did,
although she directly discarded his opinion right in front of him; but he´ll
talk about it later with her.
“Super, you´re the best, love you mom, bye” she
hung up. “FUUUUCK” thought Nick.
It turns out that Maddy had called her mother,
Cynthia, he hated her. Ever since they met, he knew she´ll be a pain in the
ass. She always questioned his decisions and when he decided to take a
sabbatical year, she just asked him why he was being so selfish and decided to
do so, knowing very well Maddy was working hard to get a good job; for her, it
seemed as if he was only with Maddy because she´ll pay the bills for him.
“Ughh, why she?” he wondered, he always had a bitter feeling whenever he saw
her, and every time she came, she always found an excuse to criticize him, or
make some stupid comment on how Maddy should be with someone who actually made
a good amount of money.
“Your
mom´s coming?” he asked with an irritated tone.
“Relax, it´ll be find, I promise, there´s
nothing to worry about” she knew he hated her, but she was their only choice.
“At least, you should´ve allowed me to call MY
mom” he said.
“YOUR mom´s in Europe, and as far as I know,
she´s not coming until Christmas.” She was right, Cynthia seemed to be their
only option.
“Find, but if she does or says anything annoying,
I´m…”, “You´re what? Kicking her out of the house? I wouldn´t be so sure about
it” she was right, at his size, it´ll be hard to do so, not that he had done it
before, but most likely, she was going to mock about him the whole time.
He just crossed his arms over his chest and sat
there turning to a side. “Come on” she said, “It´ll be ok, I swear… look, if
anything goes wrong, then… call me to work and I´ll come here, ok?” he was sure
she was just trying to convince her, but there should be another way.
“Are you sure I can´t stay here on my own?” he
begged.
“Listen…” she said as she took a deep breath
and in a calm tone she continued, “It´s not that I think something bad will
happen, but honey, by Monday you´ll be even smaller, I don´t think you can take
care of yourself by then.” He frowned and just stared at his plate.
“Ok ok, let´s make a deal, if… let´s say…” she
said thinking, she needed to find a way for her to get what she wanted, but
assuring that he understood that they were both committing to it, “I got it, if
you can reach the upper cabinets, on your own, without using a stool, then you
can stay here alone, deal?” she asked reaching for him with her hand.
He had his doubts, he had not tried to reach
over there since Thursday, he wasn´t even sure if he could reach. “Uhm, is
there anything else we can bet on?” he asked.
“No, just that… come on, I´ll even let you be
on your tip toes, you don´t even need to grab something, just reach for the
little knob on the door” she had a confident look on her face.
He analyzed his options, but either way, her
mom was coming, it´ll be better if there was a way out of this, so he reached
and shook her hand. “Deal” he said.
“Great, but remember, it´s until Monday
morning, if you reach before 8:00, then I´ll call her and tell her not to come,
but if you don´t, then she´ll come here from Monday to Friday.” He didn´t need
a reminder of how it worked, he disliked the idea of even having to see her,
being alone with her, he wasn´t even sure if he´ll be able to do it. But he had
already agreed, and there was no point on trying to back down.
He nodded and they both returned to eating
their lunch. She finished first and now, he was more than half way thru, but he
was full; he had managed to eat half of the chicken breast, all the mashed
potatoes and, well, not even half of the broccoli, but he wouldn´t eat it, he
decided to finish the chicken and then leave the plate.
For five minutes, long minutes, he managed to
eat all the chicken piece, it was hard, but now, his mouth was full with the
last piece of it, he only needed to swallow and it´ll be all done. Finally, he did,
he had finally finished with the whole thing, and with no help; even though it
was really nothing, he felt as if he had accomplished something. He was ready
to walk away, when suddenly…
“Aren´t you going to finish that?” Maddy asked.
“What?” he said, the chicken was gone, he was
full, what was there to finish, “I’m done.”
“I don´t think so, there´s still broccoli on
that plate” was she serious, he had left broccoli before, why asking him now?
“But… I´m full” he added. Trying to get out of
this.
“Well, if you want to leave this table then, at
least, you have to eat half of that broccoli” she commanded pointing at his
plate.
He just watched the plate and then turned back
to her, he blinked a couple times, trying to process what she was saying, did
she really mean it?
“Come on…” she said as she took a piece of
broccoli with the fork and guided it to his mouth, “open up” she really meant
it.
“Are…” when he opened his mouth to speak, she
introduced the broccoli into his mouth. He shewed and swallowed.
“It´s good for you, remember you need to have a
balanced diet, now open up” she said as she took another piece. He wanted to
leave, just walk away, but he couldn´t, there was something that just didn´t
allowed his body to move.
He ate other four pieces and then she was
satisfied, she just smiled and took the plate, on the other hand, he wanted to
vomit. He just sat there trying to digest all what he just ate. At his size, it
was as if he had eaten almost double the amount he used to eat. He tried not to
think about it and just wait until the food settled inside him.
“Ok now…” she said as she finished with the
dishes and cleaning the kitchen, “would you like to join me in the living room,
I´ll put a movie” she added. “And don´t worry, there won´t be any broccoli” she
smiled at him while she massaged his shoulder.
He stood up and followed her, but he felt as if
he was about to blow. They watched the movie until his stomach felt better,
most of the food had been digested now and he felt well. They were both sitting
on the couch, she cuddled him tightly. He was leaning close to her bosom, and
he couldn´t help but think that this movie evening could turn into something
else, something more interesting.
He rose his hand and tried to grab one of her
boobs, but she stopped him. “Hold on, not yet” she said in a soothing tone,
“first, there´s something I´d like to do. Trust me, you´ll like it” and with a
wink of her eye, she convinced him that he´ll love it.
They sat there a little longer, all the while
he was wondering what was about to come. “Maybe she´ll smother me with her
boobs… or, she´s going to slowly strip and allow me to… well, that´s the usual
stuff… what could she have in mind? Perhaps she´ll cover herself with chocolate
and let me lick her, since there was no dessert, although, that´ll be messy,
damn it, what´s she thinking about?” he tried to guess, and all the while, he
just saw how she was watching the movie, so peacefully, as if she was not
looking forward to it.
“I´ll settle even if she just lets me play with
her boobs, her soft breasts, just ready for me to squeeze them, oh, it´s going
to be sweet” for some reason, he was more fixated with her boobs than ever, he
paid close attention at them when they giggled, every time she shifted her
weight, he just stared in awe.
