Chapter 27 - Into the Unknown

Maxine had never been the type to be easily rattled, yet Gail had done just that. As soon as she’d kicked her out, Maxine had tried to contact Talon to tell him what had happened. However, just like earlier that morning, there had been no answer. The waiting was torture, with Maxine suddenly finding herself questioning everything. Why did Gail still think she could get Talon to sign up for a reality dating show? Why hadn’t the personal trainer been told by Talon how big she was? Didn’t he share pictures of the two of them together? Did some people he worked with even know he was in a relationship? Was her whale-like appearance now becoming an embarrassment for him? Was that why he’d hired a personal trainer?

That evening, Maxine lay there on the giant couch like a beached whale. Her enormous, fleshy belly had long since slipped out of her shapeless t-shirt and was draped across the cushions; with sweat leaching from the bare skin due to the summer heat. She’d never been particularly tall, and so the prospect of being over four hundred and fifteen pounds had felt like a fantasy in those early days. She’d had to learn to consume so many calories, to step back from overdoing it with the exercise. Now it was all second nature.

Getting up off the couch was an unpleasant thought. There would have to be stages to it. She’d have to use her arms to support herself and try to swing her body in the right way to keep the momentum so that it wouldn’t be too exhausting after all that exercise. She knew what people thought of her: that she was gross and disgusting. But she had never imagined that Talon would feel those things too: that she could ever get too fat, too greedy and lazy. Yet, she hadn’t seen Talon in days. In fact, the handsome man who had started all this wasn’t even returning her calls.

Maxine felt so alone, and yet, so desperately hungry: for food, as well as the fat that was slowly taking over her entire existence.

“Oh, my goodness! What a day!” Talon cried out a couple of hours later, catching Maxine by complete surprise as she ate her feelings with a massive tub of ice cream. “I haven’t stopped since half four this morning!” he chuckled, turning the corner and seeing his girlfriend at last. “Looks like the party has started without me!” he sighed, seeing his lazy, oversized girl with a smear of chocolate ice cream around her face. “They had to cancel the shoot because of the weather, so I got an early flight home.”

“Didn’t you see my messages?” Maxine asked, now feeling far too sore from the workout that afternoon to get up and greet him..

Explaining that his cell phone had died that morning, Talon was soon brought up to speed on everything that had happened. He stayed silent, allowing Maxine to get it all off her chest, only preparing to speak once she had stopped.

“Okay… first of all,” Talon began, as if about to start wading through hot treacle, “perhaps the personal trainer wasn’t my best idea,” he agreed, sitting a little closer to rub his obese girlfriend’s aching thigh. “And I’m definitely not wanting you to lose weight. It’s just… like I said last time… your body is gaining a lot of weight quite quickly. There’s nothing wrong with a fat girl improving her flexibility and stamina. I actually read that it helps to increase your appetite. Which, if I’m really honest, was my main reason for wanting to try it.”

Maxine felt a pinch of optimism as Talon’s hand reached out and grabbed the lardy flesh that had slid from under her t-shirt; his ever gentle fingers caressing it with as much affection as they always had.

“Plus, with the way that ass of yours is growing, I’m going to need you to be able to get into some pretty interesting sexual positions for us!” he teased, sensing that Maxine would be okay with him lightening the mood now that she had shared all of her concerns.

“I know you sometimes feel guilty,” Maxine nodded, trying to understand Talon’s reasoning. “When we first got together, we never talked about me getting as big as I am now.”

“No, that’s true,” Talon agreed, suddenly looking a little sheepish.

“And I know you sometimes feel bad for getting hard, hearing me huff and puff and get out of breath,” Maxine ploughed on; determined to get everything out in the open.

Talon nodded. “Yeah, that’s definitely something that plays on my mind sometimes,” he agreed, wriggling to disguise the boner he was getting just by talking about it.

Maxine chuckled, always enjoying seeing Talon squirm with these types of inappropriate erections.Then, recognising that they both knew that Talon was getting aroused, they laughed, lightening the mood even more.

“Remember though, I fell in love with a guy who was getting off to secretly fattening up one of his best friends without a second thought,” Maxine teased.

Talon smirked and wriggled a little closer to Maxine on the couch so that he could reach his hand over the full extent of her belly to grab the remote and turn off the TV in the backround. “Oh, yeah,” he chuckled. “That certainly was a very strange thing to do…” he smiled playfully, grabbing the skin of Maxine’ belly fat once more and starting to rock the blubber so that it rippled through her entire body.

Now it was Maxine’s turn to be provoked into a more aroused state. She closed her eyes for a moment, simply to enjoy the pleasure of feeling all that fat moving across her monstrous body. “I love this,” she moaned.

“I know you do,” Talon whispered back.

“I’m getting so fat; so lazy and out of shape…”

Talon moaned as well; the words arousing him just as much. The pair of them looked at each other, both seeming to understand that the lust they felt for Maxine’s ever intensifying obesity was something that neither of them could ever control.

Talon inhaled deeply, trying to reset and focus once more. “As for Gail…” he began. “I’m sorry you had to put up with that. She must have gotten wind that another agent has been trying to get me to sign with him instead.”

“Another agent?” Maxine asked, unsure whether to feel pleased or frustrated about Talon taking on even more work. Not when she still had so much fat that she wanted to gain.

“Well, I don’t want to be working all over the place like I am at the moment,” Talon reasoned. “I explained our situation to him; how I want to be here, with you. This guy has much better connections, right here in New York: more money, more opportunities… more time with you!” he offered sweetly.

“Good,” Maxine nodded in approval. “Because, I’m telling you… simply taking a shower these days is getting to be so…”

“I know!” Talon jumped in excitedly, no longer ashamed to show that he enjoyed Maxine’s struggles. “And if you’re worried about me being somehow embarrassed about you,” he sighed, clearly showing a fair amount of guilt that Maxine had ever been made to feel that way, “this is exactly why you should use social media more.” He pulled out his cell phone, scrolling through app after app to show just how many pictures he had of the two of them together on both his personal and professional accounts. “You’re the person I’m most proud of in the entire world!” he exclaimed. He looked around, as if deciding whether to do something or not. “In fact…” he hinted, heading over to a drawer in the kitchen and rummaging around, right at the back. “I bought this a couple of weeks ago and was waiting for just the right time…”

Maxine gasped, spotting the box straight away. Then she held her pudgy hands over her large face, peeking as she saw the most handsome man in the world drop to his knees and propose to her. She had no idea that Talon had even been thinking about marriage; nodding her head without a second thought, before being swept up in an immediate, bold and romantic kiss.

“Now I have something to really fatten up for!” Maxine grinned excitedly, pulling off her t-shirt to unleash every last one of her blubbery belly rolls for the man she loved so much.

“I guess so,” Talon smirked, overwhelmed by the sight of Maxine. He lifted up the half eaten tub of ice cream from the coffee table along with the sticky spoon, clamped his hand onto her belly fat and rocked it with nothing but love and lust in his eyes. “Come on then,” he whispered seductively; ready to feed. “Let’s get a jump start on some wedding preparations…”
