chapter 3: after high school

After high school, the King and Queen both went off to Hollywood and pursued their respective dreams. While Rose was moderately successful more than eeking out an existence as a talent and casting coordinator, it was Kenny who had blown up as Hollywood's next rising young star. In the five years since school had ended, Kenny made a dozen or so big films, all of which turned out to be blockbusters at box office. With millions of dollars and a throng of loyal and young fans Kenny Sarcousi was the darling of nation.

As his bankroll grew, so did his critics. They all said he was just a one trick pony and that his acting was sub par. Most on board with this line of thinking failed to see his genuine acting talents by merely focusing on his good looks and natural charm.

He and Rose kept in contact and even met to talk over their big issues and daily struggles. Kenny always paid their bills and mysteriously Rose's rent got paid by an anonymous benefactor for a whole year. Rose was thankful and she also enjoyed the local rumor mill in town that gossipped about their dinner dates in Chesterfield.

One day in early summer, Kenny called Rose with a definite excitement over the phone. He said something about the role of his life and a job opportunity for her as well. Rose told Kenny a little white lie that she had other plans to test how urgent he really was. Upon his insistence, the now intrigued Rose agreed to meet him at a local buffet. Kenny replied with "You must be psychic", before blurring out , "See you at 8, sharp" and hanging up.

.......................................... ............................
Rose purposely showed up late to the buffet where Kenny was swarmed by local customers and reporters all trying to get pictures, statements and autographs. Rose donned a beautiful Tardis blue form fitting dress and was stunning in her own right. As the couple managed to work their way back to a semi secluded room towards the back, Rose couldn't help but to feel the claminess of his hands. "WOW", thought Rose, "I wonder what's so urgent that Captain Cool is so nervous".

As they took seats opposite of each other, Rose felt as if she were about to burst with excitement, show she blurted out, "Well, lay it on me, you can't keep a girl in suspense forever, come on you goofy bastard".

With a grin from ear to ear Kenny said, "I got it!"

"Got what?"

"The part of a lifetime, it's gonna put me on the map as a real actor and maybe even an oscar"

"Oh my God Kenny, I'm so happy for you."

"Me too", said Kenny as they giggled together.

"And Melbourne Peterson is directing."

"Oooh....", said Rose as she crinkled her nose.

"What?" replied Kenny in a joking manner.

"Isn't he that method director that requires his actors to live their roles?"

"Yup, that's right Rosie", he said with a wink, knowing that she hated being called Rosie. She gave him a faux glare before asking, "So how do I fit in? Peterson has his own private staff, I'm not sure how I fit into the picture?"

Kenny's smile broadened even further as he slowly said "Christian Williamson, they want me to act out his life story. At first puzzled, Rose like most Americans knew the now famous story of how the morbidly obese Williamson whipped he and his fat family into shape and won a gold medal.

"Okay but I'm still not following?", Rose half lied wanting to hear Kenny say what she desperately hoped he would say.....

"OK, it's gonna sound weird", Kenny started in. Rose's anticipation grew stronger as she realized what he was about to ask.

"Rose, I respect you and want to know...."

"Shut up Kenny, yes I'll do it and you're gonna love every minute of it, aren't you?"

"Well yeah, but I haven't even told you my proposition."

"I already know what it is you want from me. I'm no idiot."

"Okay, Ms Smarty pants lay it on me, so what is it?

"And if I guess right, you'll agree to hire on Jessica Mitchell for a minor role?"

"Sure, by why would you wanna be nice to her? She was the meanest of the mean to you and Chad before I intervened"

"Let's just say I think she needs to broaden her horizons and learn a little humility"

"Wow, Okay, but it's still not really fair as you'll never guess. It's so odd and strange that I'll guarantee your Queenie Meanie an acting role if you guess. I'll even give you three guesses. Ok?"

"I don't need three guesses. Remember, I am the smartest person in the room", she chided. "And yes, I will make you lovingly and sometimes more forcefully feed you until you grow ENORMOUSLY FAT, that is if you can successfully answer one question for me....."

Silence as Kenny was simultaneously amazed at her powers of deduction, tantilized to hear her question, and secretly really getting worked up. Rose instantly noticed Kenny's now flushed face. She imagined that if the table were gone, she'd see that Kenny had pitched a major tent.

"How did you know?" asked Kenny.

Then it hit her like a stack of bricks. "He's not gay, he just liked watching Chad get fatter. I wonder... Oh my God. He wanted me to fatten him up... didn't he?" Rose thought to herself.

"Rose, Rose?", Kenny called to his half mesmerized dinner partner. Hearing her name called pulled Rose out of her multiple dreams of making Kenny's belly grow to gargantuan proportions. She regained her composure and decided to play this game out. And, if she was honest, she was too was now really turned on and wanted Kenny to reveal his feedee tendencies to her. For Rose found it super sexy when a guy asked or even pleaded to be fattened.

"Okay first and foremost, Kenny, this is something I gotta ask..." Rose trailed off.

"Well, you've got my attention", said Kenny eagerly awaiting.

"Kenny, you've been a great friend, but..."

"Good ahead, please?"

Inside, Rose was dying to just ask him if he personally wanted to get fat, but she loved teasing and hoped Kenny would as well. If so she knew she could turn Hollywood Hunk into Chesterfield's Chunk in no time flat. "I used to see the way you looked at Chad and well, you never had a steady girlfriend, and..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh, I see where you're going with this".

"So? You gonna keep a girl waiting", exclaimed Rose.

"No, I'm not gay".

"Really, come on?"

"No, I really not. I actually had a huge crush on you for years" admitted Kenny to Rose's genuine surprise.

"No way", Rose said encredulously. "You never even shot me a look all of those years. Even after Chad and I broke up, you never once made a move in me. Not once. But I've seen the way you... looked at Chad and.... other fat guys. Admit it you've got a fat guy crush. You're gay."

"Well Mrs I Don't Believe You, there are two reasons why I never made a move on you", replied Kenny. "First, I never made a move on you out of respect for you and Chad. I considered you both friends and even after you guys broke up, I didn't want you to see me as the slime ball so called friend that tries to work his way in on his friends exes."

"Okay, I guess I'll buy that, but I saw the way you looked at Chad and even other fat guys.", said Rose as Kenny began to squirm a bit in his chair. She wasn't sure if his fidgeting was due to a raging hard on or just nervousness, but she hoped for both. "I know lust when I see it. You're gay Kenny and all you want is a big fat man all on top of you, smothering you with all that blubbery fat. Don't you? Admit it", Rose whispered as she drew Kenny in with a seductive smile.

"Rose, it's not like that?", said Kenny in a hushed but serious tone. Rose simply let her smile and one raised eyebrow express her faux disbelief.

Kenny lowered his voice and tone to reflect his seriousness and said, "Well, kind of but... let me explain. You and Chad were perfect together. He loved to eat, you loved to feed him..."

"And you loved watching, yes?"

"Yeah"

"Wh y?", responded Rose with pouting lips.

"Because...." Kenny broke off and shook his head.

Rose thought she was losing him. Publicly very forward and outgoing, Kenny was truly a bit introvertedn and she knew Kenny was losing his nerve. Soothingly, Rose caressed his hands, looked him in the eyes and asked, "Kenny?"

"Yeah Rose?"

"Do you want me to feed you until you're extremely fat and out of shape?"

"Yes!", Kenny shot back immediately in a low but urgent tone.

"Say it?" said Rose with a flat tone and stoic determination.

"Say what?", faltered Kenny.

"Tell me what you want from me, in your own words, and if I believe you, MAYBE I'll think about. Go!"

"Rose, I want you to feed me and help me to grow an enormous belly. One so big that I have to waddle when I walk in front of the camera. I need to learn the pain with of being made fun of because my fat body keeps spilling out my clothes"

"For the cameras huh", half chortled Rose. "Well, then it's a no go Kenny. I'm sorry."

"What, but why? We haven't even negotiated your potential six figure yearly salary yet"

"Did you say six figures?"

"Yup"

" ;You definitely have my attention with numbers like that Kenny, but the answer is still no.

"Rose....?"

"No Kenny, I won't just make you fat for some movie. I'll only do it if YOU want to be fat because YOU want to be fat."

Kenny gently pulled her in closer and whispered, "Okay, you win, you always win, so here it goes. Rose I've secretly wanted you to feed me fattening foods and snacks for years. Please feed me copious amounts of fattening foods, followed by long belly rubs and...", he instinctively looked around to see if anyone was ease dropping.

"And?", questioned Rose in her most sultry and seductive voice while pulling herself ever more close to Kenny's handsome face.

"And I want to make love to you Rose. I've been madly in love with you for years. I know its a lot to digest.
