Chapter 2

“Third dessert done.” He messaged her.

“She said you’re the biggest airline piggy she’s ever seen.”

“LIAR!” He messaged her back.

“Okay. You got me there ... But I do think you look a little puffy after that third treat!”

“It was pretty good.” He messaged her in reply.

“I bet.” She added, before adding further, “And super fattening too. Did you see the calories on the menu?” She sent him a blushing emoji and see no evil emoji monkey.

“Bad?” He asked.

“Super bad.” She replied back, with a grin.

“I’m going to need a bigger seat belt extender for our next flight then.” He replied back.

“I think so too, ... tease.”

“I’m going to order a snack.” He replied, feeling cocky.

“Don’t! You’re turning me on!” She replied back.

“She’s already coming over.” He typed, then hit send.

“From your husband in isle 14,” said the flight attendant, as she placed a vodka lemonade atop her table top tray.

“Nice touch.” She messaged him, with a sly wink.

“Cheers!” He messaged her back, then raised his snack pack towards her in her direction as she glanced back to his seat.

“A whole snack pack.” She messaged him. “… Nice.”

“When you’re putting on weight, you might as well do it in style.” He messaged his reply.

“You’re getting greedy.” She replied, quick as a flash.

“That a problem?” He asked back.

“Not when there’s food around.” She replied.

“About this bathroom date …” He inquired. “How are we set?”

“If you can wedge yourself in there.” She replied, with a winking eyed emoji and laughing face. "We can meet in ten."

“I’m sure it’ll be a bit tight in there.” He replied back.

“With a belly as big as yours, no doubt.” She replied further.

“I want your hands on it.” He typed, a little too hungrily now for sure.

“Me too!” She typed back. "My hands want it."

“Bathroom in 10 then?” He asked again.

“Perfect.” She replied. “Enjoy your snacks till then.”

“I'll be ready for my ‘dessert’.” He replied back.

“Easy tiger.” She replied, with a sweet kissing emoji. ‘Talk like that will cost you some pounds.’

She pulled down the hem of her skirt as she walked back down the isle towards her seat.

“Well that was fun.” His message was already waiting for her when she glanced back at her phone.

“Definitely a tight squeeze.” She messaged him back. “Look at the size of you in this!” She then sent him the mirror picture she had taken on her phone - her leg was raised up against his gut.

“Definitely got bigger this holiday!” She sent him a pouting emoji with a kiss. "I wonder why?"

“Feels it!” He replied back. “Can’t help that you keep making me hungry all the time.”

“ALL the time?” She messaged, and smirked at him over her shoulder, as though he had now revealed a little too much.

“Well, not right now, no.” He messaged her back. “Kinda full at the minute!”

“Aw.” She twirled at her hair between her fingers. “You were very hungry in the bathroom just a minute ago.”

“That was different. I have needs.” He replied.

“Did those needs perchance make you gain a heck of a lot of weight?” She replied, with a smiling devil emoji grin.

“Just a little.” He replied back. “Gonna get me fatter too I bet.”

“Big talk!” She replied, as if she had heard it all before.

“I bet I’ve put on 10 pounds this holiday. Just you wait.” He typed back.

“Looks it.” She replied, then glanced over her shoulder and grinned at him. “Can’t ‘weight’ to weigh you again when we get home,” is what she next added into her phone.

“That one never gets old.” He replied.

“It’s a classic.” She typed back.

“True. True.” He replied, then added. “Think I can order another snack?”

“Sure!” Came her reply. “You’ve come a long way from the boy who wouldn’t put on any weight for me. Now look at you eating for me at the drop of a hat.”

“You dropped more than your hat in the bathroom.” He typed back, with an evil grinning emoji.

“Now you’re being incorrigible!” She replied. “But you’ve picked up quite the weight problem since we met.”

“Your 'back-fat-baby'.” He quipped in his reply, making fun of what she had once said.

“I only called you that ONCE!” She replied, turning back to look at him and turning beet-red.

“I’ll put all this on your back when we get home, don't worry.” He messaged her back, self-assuredly.

“Dream on, big boy.” She replied, with an evil grin.

“If it’s more than a 10 pound gain your drawers are dropping again.” He typed, then clicked send.

“Keep talking and you’ll have to gain another 10 just to touch me.” She replied back, with a grin.

“Yes Ma’am.” He replied. “I’ll better order that snack then.”

“You do that.” She replied, with a grinning emoji. “Better feed up that belly before I put it to good work. ;)”
