chapter 3

"So... Nobody told me college wasn't just a big party." Crystal said, between greedy slurps as she shoveled insta-noodle into her awaiting gullet.

"Between beer, boys and my cafeteria pass... I was living quite a bit more indulgently than what mom was able to provide." She said.

"Maybe had I kept up on my math classes, I'd have been able to count all those calories those chugging challenges were pumping into me." She offered, patting her protruding gut. Cole watched in fascination as ripples spread out across her pale flesh from the point of impact.

"My roommate and I swiflty became a victim of the freshman 15. We signed up for a gym class, she lost the weight quickly... Only for my lazy ass to find it. Between all the drinking and the partying... My grades began to slip. I lost my scholarship. I couldn't go back to mom, but I remember way back when she told me you were studying engineering in Seattle when you two met. Luckily, I found you. You're a bit greying and... Rounder than that picture she kept. But when I saw that profile... I knew it was you."

Crystal slurped down the last of the noodles and sat there in silence. Cole wasn't even sure what to say.

The pregnant pause was broken however by a wet pop, as Crystal popped the tab on her third can of beer.

"What's a matter dad? Cat got your tongue? Not everyday a man finds out he has a daughter who ate her way out of her higher education." She exclaimed, punctuating the sentence with a humorless laugh.

"You can stay." Cole replied. "Until you get back on your feet. Really, it's the least I can do."

"Ugh... Feet? That's the last thing I wanna be on!" Crystal slurred, tipsily getting up and waddling her bloated body to the couch.

The piece of furniture shook as her 280lbs bloated form impacted the cushions hard. Two hands worked the overstrained button free on her shorts as she freed her swollen gut from it's denim prison.

"Braaapppp!" She sounded with a mighty belch as her pregnant looking gut swelled forward, able to stretch without the narrow confinement of the shorts restricting it from expanding to its full size.

"Given a choice of body part... I'd much rather be on a dick than feet right now." She said with a drunken laugh. "Really show some young buck what a real woman is like." She said... Smacking her engorged midsection, illiciting a rumble and a hypnotic jiggle as the taught sphere oscillated back and forth.

Suddenly, the part of her brain not awash with alcohol realized what she was saying and infront of whom. She looked at her father's face, both turning red with embarrassment.

"I'll uh... Leave you to your rest, you must be exhausted." Cole said, retiring from the living room and hitting the light on his way out."

"Go ahead and knock on my door if you need anything."
