chapter 4

“That’s me”, Riley said to the chauffeur holding the sign reading RILEY WALKER.

“Allow me to take you take your bags miss”

“Thanks so much”

Riley hated travelling, just like any normal person did, but her journey so far from Miami to LA had been better than most vacations she had been on, she had always just thought of people who flew first class as snobs and stuck up, but now that the shoe was on the other foot, she could see why people would pay the extra money for it if they had it, it was the life. She hopped into the back seat of the blacked out Mercedes, really feeling like some sort of celebrity, as the driver set of for Zach’s house.

The car eventually came to halt in front of one of the most beautiful houses Riley had ever seen. So this is my home for the next 6 months, Riley thought to herself. She got out of the car and made her way up to the front door leaving the chauffeur behind with her bags. Before she even had a a chance to knock the door was pulled open by Zach, “how was the flight?”.

“Meh, it was alright.. okay it was the best flight I’ve been on, first class is living”, Riley replied.

“You’re gonna love this house then”, Zach said with assurance.

“Just leave the bags there mate” Zach told the driver.

He then went into his pocket and pulled out a few hundred dollars and handed it to driver as a tip. Jeez this guy probably uses money as toilet paper, Riley thought.

“Let me show you around the house”, Zach said as the driver left.

“Sure let’s do it”, Riley responded excitedly.

The house really was incredible, the first thing Riley noticed was how high the ceilings were, the hall and all the rooms were just so big and spacious, it was like a kind of open plan set up that made the place seem even bigger also. Zach took her through the house to the back yard where there was a stunning pool, an out door bar, there was even beds outside. Riley was already imagining her life here for the next 6 months, relaxing out here in the sun eating ice cream and drinking cocktails. She noticed that the garden was completely private, the houses in the street had good distance between them and Zach’s house was positioned higher so no one in other houses would be able to see in the garden.

They both went back inside where the home tour had led to the kitchen, the kitchen was beautiful and absolutely huge, it had a big breakfast bar and so many cupboards.

“I took the liberty of stocking the place up for you since I’m leaving early tomorrow morning, have a look in the cupboards”, Zach said.

“Jeeeez, that’s a lot”, Riley replied as she looked through the cupboards. They were filled with so much chocolate, bags and bags of chips and lots more very unhealthy snacks.

“This is the freezer over here, come and have a look and tell me what you think”, said Zach as he gestured towards a door in the kitchen.

Riley open the door to discover one of those big walk in freezers like the kind a restaurant would have. The first thing she noticed was the amount of ice cream in it, specifically Ben and Jerry’s, there must of been hundreds and hundreds of pints with so many different flavours.

“You did say ice cream was your weakness, just wanted to make sure you don’t run out”, laughed Zach.

“Yeah it looks like I’ll be stocked up to survive an apocalypse”

The freezer was also filled with pizzas, chicken nuggets, chicken tenders, fries and lots more. The food in the freezer would easily last a family of 5 a year.

“As you can see there’s plenty of food in here to last you so you don’t need to go any shops or anything, and there’s of plenty of takeout options, Dominos, McDonald’s, Denny’s, you name it. Your room is just around the corner there, closest room to the kitchen and on the ground floor, let me show you”, Zach led her to the room.

"As you can see your room has it's own bathroom and your scale is in here also, speaking of, let's get you weighed, would you mind stripping down to your bra and panties?", Zach asked politely.

"Sure", Riley got undressed, as she prepared to get on the scale. Her body really was spectacular, Zach couldn't even begin to imagine this girl getting fat and out shape, he just hoped she wouldn't stop at 30lbs.

Riley hopped on the scale, *129.7*, the number read.

“Okay so it looks like we have your starting point, I’m gonna get to sleep since I’m flying to Dubai early tomorrow morning, I’ll be gone before you wake up, if you’re hungry just help yourself, this is your house for the next 6 months after all, I’ll let you know when I’ll be back as soon as I know”

“Thanks Zach, goodnight”

“Goodnight Riley”

Riley walked back into the freezer to find something to eat, her eyes scanned the shelves stopping on the pizzas, “bbq chicken”, she muttered to herself, “that’ll do”. She took the pizza out and turned on the oven. It wasn’t a huge pizza, probably only around 10 inches but normally Riley wouldn’t eat over half of a pizza this size, she’d just nibble on a few slices, it felt kinda good not to be worrying about gaining weight she admitted to herself. “Screw it I’m gonna have some nuggets too”. She opened up a bag of nuggets and took 8 out and put them in the deep fat fryer. Who even has a deep fat fryer, did he buy this just for me, Riley thought.

*PINGGG*

“Thank god, I am starving”, Riley said answering the sound of her food being ready.

I can’t have nuggets without sauce, she thought to herself, after looking through the cupboards she eventually found where the sauces were stored, and what a selection it was, the only sauces Riley would likely touch however were BBQ and sweet chilli, they were her go to dips. She squeezed some sweet chilli into a ramekin, put her food on a plate and made her way through to the sofa.

Riley found something to watch on Netflix and immediately got to work on the pizza. “Mmmmm”, she moaned biting into the first slice. She really was hungry, she hadn’t eaten since breakfast before getting on her flight. She finished the pizza and could already feel how full her belly was, by her usual standards she had already overdone it, but she was getting paid to gain weight after all. She picked up a nugget and dunked it in the sweet chilli sauce before bringing it to her lips, Riley couldn’t believe how good the food actually tasted for essentially just being frozen junk food, she wouldn’t mind eating like this for the next 6 months.

With great effort Riley successfully finished all her food, breathing heavily she looked down at her stuffed belly, it was sticking out slightly but it felt so hard and compact. Riley thought about having some ice cream but quickly brushed off the idea and went through to her room to sleep off her late dinner.
