chapter 10 - monday pt ii

I walked outside and found Hayley, piling the last of the BBQ meats onto two plates. My belly gurgled in anticipation as she handed it to me and I followed her back to our spot in the grass. It was dark outside now, and the fairy lights in the backyard had illuminated. Most of the party had wandered inside, with the exception of a distant cousin tidying up abandoned cups and half-eaten plates of food.
Hayley and I sat spread-eagle with our plates between our legs, silently shoveling forkful after forkful of succulent meats into our mouths. We didn't speak for several minutes, allowing our chewing, hiccups, and gurgling guts take up the space of silence. I felt like I was hypnotized, and before I knew it, my plate was empty. I sucked the last bit of chicken meat and fat off of a drumstick and licked my fingers. Hayley still had a few ribs left on her plate, but she was slowing her pace. I snatched one, savoring its juiciness as I bit into it.
"Hey!!" Hayley dramatically crossed her arms.
"That was mine."
"Sorry, you're eating slow and it was teasing me."
"Oh? It was teasing you?" Hayley's eyes twinkled and she scooted closer to me. "Well if you want it so bad, you should have this one too." She put her last rib on my plate. "I'm going to grab some dessert anyway." Hayley grunted as she stood, holding her belly. I was suspicious of her sudden shift in attitude, but I was also still pretty tipsy and delirious from the binging.
I finished the meat and let out the biggest belch I could, pleasuring in the way I could feel it reverberate through my overstuffed stomach, easing some of the pressure. And then, everything went dark.
"Whoa! What are you doing?" I could feel a bandana being tied around my eyes, and then my arms were being pulled behind my back.
"I thought we could have a little bit of fun." I could feel Hayley in front of me now, and the sugary smell of pies and cookies drifted up into my nose.
"Mmmmm...I could have some fun."
"Open" Hayley instructed me.
I opened my mouth and she stuffed it full it with a heaping spoonful of pecan pie. The butter coated the roof of my mouth and I moaned as it slid down my throat. Bite after bite was fed to me. I relaxed my lips, opened my throat, and let her take control, filling me up.
The next thing I knew, I could see again. There was an empty plate on either side of me, crumbs revealing that they had been loaded with a wide assortment of treats. I felt Hayley behind me, untying my wrists. When they were finally free, my hands instinctively went to my belly. The fabric of my potato sack dress was stretched so tightly around the ball of distended fat where my stomach used to be, I could barely stand to have it on. Hayley hadn't moved away from behind me. I felt her hands slowly join mine, massaging my belly in soft, gentle circles. She hiccuped, and her stomach pushed into my back. I could feel that she was still full too. I closed my eyes and could hear both of our bellies gurgling softly.
"I guess we overdid it again."
"Ha!" *urrrp* "Ooh.." I could barely speak. Hayley called us an Uber and we slipped out the back gate. We didn't dare let our family see us like that.
In the back of the car we belched endlessly, giggling and hiccuping and rubbing our swollen bellies the entire ride back to my apartment. Each bump in the road made us groan, clutching our middles.
"You wanna sleep over?" I asked Hayley as we climbed out of the car.
"I don't think I could fit behind my steering wheel!" We cracked up, clutching our sides as we wobbled to the door. Thankfully, Cheyenne wasn't in the hallway. I turned the key and we hurried in to the apartment. We both immediately undressed, and then collapsed onto the floor with a sigh of mixed relief and pain. My belly towered above me, I could see it pulsing, feel every fattening morsel pushing against my insides, stretching me out like an overfilled beach ball.
I turned to look at Hayley, who was in a similar state. She must have felt me looking because she turned to face me, giving me that devilish look again.
"What should we do next weekend?"
I wasn't going to have to worry about feeling lonely at all anymore.
