Chapter 4

Over the next few days Stephanie tried to put things into perspective, and rationalise all her strange thoughts and feelings going on in her head. She had been doing a lot of comfort eating too – yet she wasn't sure why, and she didn't even feel guilty for it like she used to as a child, although most of her clothes were getting too tight! She was thinking about that when she got a sudden urge to see Justin, she couldn't explain it. But the more she thought of that sexy voice and his gorgeous eyes she knew she had to see him. She mustered all the confidence she could find and headed into town and to the DIY shop.

Justin spotted her right away, he also noticed how the buttons on her shirt seemed to be really straining and how her body seemed ever so slightly softer than a few weeks ago. Oh hell he thought – quick let me think of something else, I cant be getting a hard on at work! He approached Stephanie smiling, and even found himself blushing slightly. Stephanie noticed this and felt strangely empowered, she glanced at the paint and said she wanted some pink for her bedroom. Just as Justin was passing it to her their hands brushed and both of them could feel it, there was no denying the chemistry felt between them both. As Stephanie paid for the paint she felt alittle deflated - she didn't want to just walk out of the store, she realised she wanted something more from Justin, she just didn't understand what or how.

Justin seemed to sense this and although up to this point he had been confident and quite sure of himself he seemed to struggle with the words too. But just in time as Stephanie was walking out if the shop he blurted out....

“its my day off tomorrow, would you like to come to the cinema with me in the afternoon?”

Stephanie turned round smiled and nodded and quickly scribbled down her number for him before waving goodbye. She waited till she was round the corner and the squeaked at the top of her voice. She felt so excited, so happy – OMG what was she doing lol!!!

That night she emptied the contents of her fridge and cupboards, her husband as normal paying no attention to her – she realised they didn't even talk anymore – it was as if they were strangers living under the same roof, I mean they hadn't even had sex in over 4 years – surely he must know that something isn't right?

Just as Stephanie climbed into bed she saw her phone light up, it was Justin texting her. She felt so excited laying there having this conversation with him, he was being so lovely on the phone his texts were fun, polite and honest, and she felt completely as ease communicating with him. Out of the blue Stephanie felt brave enough to ask him about the whole cake thing – and his response was simple....

“I like fat girls, I enjoy seeing girls eat, and I think you would be even more sexy if you were twice your size!”

Stephanie giggled quietly to herself reading that reply, she presumed it was something like that – but for him to be so honest about it all was refreshing.

After they had said goodnight via texts Stephanie lay there thinking, she had never really bothered about what clothes size she was, it had gradually gone up as she got older and she wasn't one for diets. She placed her hand on her tummy, there was definately more podge than there had been a few weeks ago. She tried to imagine herself fatter, and was rubbing her belly when she realised how aroused she felt, thinking of growing alittle fatter, just to see what it felt like Stephanie fell asleep.

And that is what brought her to today – the day of the cinema......
