Chapter 4 - angelo's

Once at the car, Lilly and Luke struggled for a few minutes operating the various features on the van to help Lilly into her specially designed seat. Which honestly looked more like a love seat, custom fit to the van. She sat directly behind her lover, who once in the car flashed her a smile, handing her a small towel for her forehead, and then put the car in reverse, backing out of the garage.
Once at Angelo's, the couple labored inside, through the back door that only employees and Lilly and Luke were allowed to use (On nights like tonight, when Lilly and Luke had reservations, Angelo kept the spot directly adjacent the door open for the couple). Angelo, like Luke had been an enabler in Lilly's life he had brought her meal after meal in the comfort of his restaurant, assisting in creating the ravenous appetite that Lilly now had. Angelo had a daughter, who lived in New York, and even though the two didn't look very much alike (aside from their stature) Angelo always insisted that Lilly was his daughter's sister from a past life, because the two had identical personalities. Like any stereotypical Italian family, especially one that owns a restaurant, Angelo showed his love through food. His daughter had been a plump teenager when she moved to New York, but was now hardly a size 6. With his daughter away, Angelo had turned to Lilly as an outlet for his fatherly love, and Lilly's figure had shown it back when her and Luke met. Now, however it would be difficult to blame Angelo for Lilly's enormous size. Sure, he had helped her develop the appetite that would eventually become uncontrollable like a Semi on a downward hill with no brakes, but she and Luke had perfected the science of satisfying Lilly's appetite, and even pushing its limits.
As Lilly approached their table, she sighed a sigh of relief at the sight of the extra wide armless chair that was sat on one side of the table (last time she had to stand around for 2 minutes while the waiter found her chair). As Luke pulled out Lilly's seat, Angelo came out with two plates in hand, and two more servers in tow, one with drinks, and the other with more plates.
"Lilly you beautiful young woman! It is so nice to see you again, my you look like you have been enjoying yourself!" Angelo said, pinching Lilly's flabby cheek.
"Awh, thank you Angelo, I missed you! Give me a hug!" Lilly said, not bothering to even begin standing up. Both her and Angelo would have known that such an act was only a gesture, as standing would have been an almost impossible task for Lilly after such a long walk, and a hug was not worth the effort. Angelo wrapped his arms as far around her shoulders as he could reach, his arms sinking into the soft fat that enveloped every inch of her. He then gave Luke a hug and told them about the pasta dishes he had brought them. After which, he and the other servers left the couple alone with the food. Lilly began eating, still breathing heavy from the walk to the table, not being able to catch her breath while talking to Angelo.
"Hon.... Mmmph... this sauce is so... good on this pasta mmphhh." Lilly said between bites, having already begun devouring the plate in front of her, but focusing on trying not to completely lose herself in the taste of the meal. She wanted to enjoy the evening, in addition to the food.
"That's great honey! Is that the one with the sausage that is a little spicy?" Luke asked, while slowly taking bites of the dish in front of him. "Angelo brought me the one with the thick noodles and the chicken, the one he puts extra extra butter in for you."
"Oh my goodness... that one mmmph... is so mmmmh good! Can I please please please have a bite?" Lilly asked with a smile as she finished swallowing the last bite of her first plate.
"Of course, Angelo will definitely bring you one later too, so don't worry honey" Luke said, trying not to make Lilly aware of just how much of a greedy glutton she had become. Their table was already crowded with pasta dishes awaiting their fate, which was the same as any other food that came within reach of Lilly's fat, soft arms. Yet here she was already asking for bites from Luke's food. Luke didn't mind sharing with the burgeoning beauty he had the pleasure of calling his girlfriend, the portions were crazy big at Angelo's, especially when it was for Luke and Lilly; if Lilly didn't eat some of his food now, she would be snatching the leftovers from the fridge next to their bed the later that night anyway.
"I know he will, you just made it sound so yummy!" Lilly replied, blushing from the embarrassment of realizing that she was practically begging for food from her boyfriend's plate, even though she had plenty of her own food.
"Okay guys, these are on the house!" Angelo announced, appearing around the corner with a tray with a few shot glasses and a bottle of Patron on it. "The guy from next door gave me a couple of bottles of tequila, but I don't drink it, I figured the two of you could use a little something to help in your celebration!" Angelo said, placing the tray on the table, and pouring 3 shots as he spoke.
"Awh! That's so sweet!" Lilly said, beaming with happiness as she looked up at Angelo.
"Yea, thanks man!" Luke grabbed the shot glass closest to him as he spoke. Lilly and Angelo did the same. "Lets have a toast" Luke said, raising his shot glass in the air "To the last 6 years of heaven for me" -"And for me!"- Lilly interrupted, smiling her big bright smile at Luke "And for you hon, And here's to many more to come!" Luke cheerfully banged his glass against those of Angelo and Lilly.
"Cheers!" The three yelled in unison, throwing back their shots, Lilly's arm fat flapping back and forth from the swift motion.
