Chapter 3: Ashley’s New Beginning

Ashley checked her phone; she looked up rental spaces as she was staying at Porsha’s flat and it only had one room. She would be sleeping on the sofa, so there would be no room for her own furniture until she got her own place. They arrived at the storage yard and within an hour all of Ashley’s furniture and kitchen ware was placed in the storage shed before she locked the door only having two boxes of clothes with her. She thanked the Driver who nodded and headed off to the next job. Ashley checked the address Porsha had given her and hoped it wasn’t too far away. It took an hour on foot as she felt a little tired when she was finally outside the building.
“This would not have made me tired if I were still in shape” she panted under her breath as she walked into the lobby of the building.


Ashley saw Porsha was there waiting for her in the lobby as she beamed at Ashley before she ran over to hug her.
“Hey there, how was the trip?” Porsha asked as Ashley put the boxes down and gave her a hug.
“It was long, but I’m here now” Ashely said as Porsha beamed at her. Ashley picked the boxes back up as Porsha walked towards the lifts with a definite skip in her step as she pressed the lift button.
“Right so I am up on the third floor, but we have a lift so no need for stairs” Porsha beamed as Ashley was silently grateful. The lift pinged as the doors slide open to reveal a small squat old man who walked out and beamed at them. He was grey haired and looked around 60 years of age. His face was wrinkled as he was slightly hunched and was wearing a plain shirt and a beige stripped vest jumper. He had gentle blue eyes as he smiled at the two of them,


“Hello there Porsha, who’s this, a friend of yours?” the man asked, his voice was feeble and slightly horse, but still had a gentleness to it.
“Yes Mr Benn this is Ashley, I told you about her moving in with me” Porsha explained, Ashley smiled at the old man who gave a warm smile in return.
“Ah yes I remember now, Well it’s good to meet you, I’m Mr Benn, the landlord here, if you need anything don’t hesitate to ask” he said,
“Thank you, I’ll keep that in mind” Ashley smiled as he already seemed far nicer than her old landlord. Ashley and Porsha got in the lift before the doors slid back closed.
“He seems nice” Ash said as Porsha nodded,
“Yeah he is, very understanding too” Porsha said as the lift pinged and the doors opened.


They made their way down the hall of the third floor as Ashley asked more questions.
“So this place you work at?” Ash asked, she hadn’t asked about it properly yet.
“Mrs Addams Food house? It’s kind of fast food I guess but it’s not a massive chain one. It’s a family ran one plus we do homemade desserts there too, the cookies are the best” Porsha beamed as Ashley nodded but was worried about her waistline if they were as good as Porsha claimed. It didn’t take long before they came to a halt as Porsha opened the door to Flat 305.
“Welcome home Ash” Porsha said as she gestured her in. Ashley made her way in and saw the living room was decorated with pale lilac wallpaper. The living room had one big window on the end wall opposite the main door. The kitchen was very open as it had a breakfast bar and pillar over in the corner left to the door as she walked in.


The carpet was a cream colour as she made her way over to the purple sofa and armchair. A large TV was on a unit angled in the corner next to the window as a coffee table was covered in magazines and mug coasters. Ashley put her boxes on the coffee table and sat down. Ashley hadn’t been sat down long before her stomach gave an audible growl.
“I’ll order pizza for us” Porsha said with a smile. Ash wanted to protest but her stomach growled again and she blushed. Porsha giggled as she picked up the phone and dialled the number. Ashley knew there was no rush to try and start eating better again as she ordered a cheese and ham pizza. She could start working out again once she had gotten herself settled. 10 minutes later the pizzas arrived; Porsha had ordered two large ones for them to share, along with Garlic dips to go along with them.
“This place is the best around you’ll love it” Porsha giggled as Ashley chuckled.


They both sat there an hour later with round stuffed belly’s full of Pizza and dip.
“That place is so good though” Porsha said as Ash agreed, it had been the best delivery Pizza she had had yet, though she had never really had many delivery pizzas to compare it too until recently.
“Yeah, I’m so stuffed. Burp…Oh Excuse me” Ashley said as Porsha giggled making Ashley laugh to. Porsha managed to get up as she thought something nice to drink would help make them feel better as she pulled out two beers. The two chatted more as they let their meal digest as Ash had yet to ask one thing.
“So when do I start my new job anyway?” Ashley asked still massaging her full belly.
“Monday. You’ll get a uniform then too so don’t worry” Porsha said. They both looked up the time as Porsha got up and headed off to shower.
“I’ll get you bedding to use for tonight for the sofa. We’ll see about getting you a camp bed to put in the bedroom soon” Porsha said as Ashley agreed though she did say she was okay with the sofa.


Porsha wouldn’t accept that though as she insisted on a bed of some kind.
“Well we best start getting ready for bed I guess; you want to use the bathroom first?” Porsha asked as Ash shook her head,
“I don’t think I can move right now, so you go first” Ash said as Porsha giggled. Ash lay back as she let her belly settle and began to feel her eye lids drop, the tiredness was setting in now. She was reminded of the food coma David had gone into when he was at Brian’s place after his big stuffing at the meet up. Before she knew it she was fast asleep, Porsha came back and saw her Porsha was grinning a little. She placed a blanket over her and went to bed herself as quietly as she could.
“Night night Ash” Porsha whispered closing the door quietly after turning the lights off.


Ash slept like a log. She woke up a little groggy the next morning but was very awake as soon as she smelt bacon cooking. She sat up a little and looked over at the kitchen to see Porsha was cooking breakfast.
“Did I fall asleep?” Ash asked as Porsha turned and smiled,
“Yeah, you were out like a light when I got out of the bathroom” Porsha said. Ash sighed,
“Guess I was more tired than I thought” Ash said as she looked up at the time. Ashley didn’t do much that day other than go out to buy a camp bed with Porsha as she showed Ash around town. Porsha also insisted on going clothes shopping as Ash’s wardrobe was tight fitting and looked small on her as she was in dire need of an upsize. Ashley had to admit she did need to buy bigger clothes for now as she needed new underwear and bras pronto.


Ashley was also shown her workplace as Porsha took her there. It was only a 30 minute walk from their flat too which was a bonus, though Ash did admit she could have done with the exercise. Mrs Addams Food house stood out at least Ashley thought staring at the building in question. It had white walls with pink patterns on it as did the large sign above with the name. It was pretty big too as Ashley wondered what the uniform was like. She got her answer the following day as she felt nervous as today she began her new job. Porsha was already in her uniform, a hot pink mini skirt and a white and pink vertically stripped button up shirt with the name of the shop embodied on the breast pocket. It also had pink tie and a pink cap with the shop logo on it. Porsha had decided to wear tights to go with her uniform too,
“Well how do I look, cute?” Porsha asked, Ash thought the uniform was pretty cute if she had to be honest.
“Yeah, suits you well” she said as Porsha winked at her.


“I think it’ll suit you too Ash” Porsha grinned making Ash blush, “you nervous?” Porsha asked as Ash nodded.
“A little” Ash said as Porsha giggled,
“Mrs Addams is nice trust me” Porsha said. Ashley nodded and got ready to go. It was 6 in the morning which should give her plenty of time to get her uniform before the day started. Ashley soon stood outside of the building; the dawn was still rising slowly as Ashly took a deep breath and followed Porsha inside. Ash was immediately greeted by the sight of a large woman wearing a pink skirt and blazer. She had dark hair and was about three times as big and wide as Ash was currently from what she could guess.
“Morning Mrs Addams” Porsha beamed as the woman turned around. Her ass wobbling as Ashley tried not to stare.
“Ah Morning Porsha, and who have we here?” Mrs Addams asked.


She gave a long hard look at Ash as if surveying her before she smiled gently at her.
“This Is Ashley, she’s starting today” Porsha said as Mrs Addams chuckled,
“Of Course the new girl, well let’s get you a uniform sorted before anything else huh?” Mrs Addams said as Ash nodded and followed the jiggling bottom in front of her to the back. Ashley had to remind herself that with a company like this, was it any surprise that the owner was the size she was? She was almost memorised by the wobbling pair of globular orbs in front of her that she had to make a sudden stop before she collided with Mrs Addams as she stopped.
“Do you know what size you are dear?” Mrs Addams asked. A year ago Ash would have said a small, but now.
“Uh, a medium or a large I guess” Ashley said as Mrs Addams nodded. Ash smiled as Mrs Addams gave her a medium and large uniform and told her go and try them on showing her to the staff bathrooms.


Ash found a stall and stripped out of her clothes and looked at the medium set and sighed. Although she was only 165 pounds, she had weighed herself again that morning; she couldn’t help but wonder if the medium might still be a tad tight on her. Thankfully the shirt was slightly elasticated so it still fit and wasn’t too tight or snug. She gave an experimental stretch of the skirt too, it seemed the uniforms here accounted for weights to either go up and down or take those in between sizes into account. She pulled the skirt up and zipped it before she did the button at the top, it dug in a little but wasn’t overly tight or painful as she decided to try the large skirt, as Ashley seemed to be more bottom heavy now. The large skirt was a far better fit but still too loose on her as she decided to keep with the medium. She was going to slim back down anyway she reminded herself.


She tied her hair up and pulled it through the back of the cap as she put it on and then stepping out to the mirror did her tie up. She hadn’t worn a tie in a long time she thought as she looked at herself in the uniform; it didn’t look half bad on her she thought. She put her clothes into the bag the uniform had been in and headed back out to see Mrs Addams there. Mrs Addams beamed at her upon her exit,
“Aw that looks good on you Ash; I see the medium Skirt is a bit snug though” Mrs Addams giggled as Ashley grinned.
“Well I am hoping to start a diet soon so….” Ash said as Mrs Addams nodded. Ash was shown to the staff break room where Mrs Addams told her to leave her clothes to pick up later. Once they had that sorted it was almost 8 as Mrs Addams led her back to the shop front.
“You’ll be with Florence today, she’s been her for 3 years and is super kind” Mrs Addams said. Ash nodded as she followed her to the counter.


Ashley was taken back out to the front where she saw Porsha was already working. Customers had already begun to start coming in as they had now opened. Mrs Addams stopped as Ashley had to stop suddenly to avoid bumping into that wobbly ass once again as she looked around her Wide boss.
“This is Florence, Florence this is Ashley, the new hire” Mrs Addams beamed. Florence was a tall woman; she had short hair just under her ears and green eyes behind a pair of thin framed glasses. She looked well-built and strong but had a large round bulge for a belly all the same as well as a nice perky pair of D cups. Florence smiled at her and nodded to Mrs Addams.


Ash felt worried at the thought that even a strong looking girl like Florence gained weight working here; did that mean was she doomed too?
“Hey there glad to meet ya” Florence said shaking Ash’s hand.
“Same here” Ash said as Mrs Addams waddled away leaving them too it. Florence showed her how to operate the till and made her take a few orders to get the hang of things.
“Nice, you seem like a natural” Florence said as she and Ash went on break together. Florence began to eat a batch of cookies as she offered one to Ash.
“No thank you, I’m…trying to cut down on what I eat” Ash said as Florence giggled but nodded.
“I get it; us girls worry about our weights when we work at places like this” Florence said whilst putting a hand to her rounded belly. Ash couldn’t help but stare; Florence seemed to have become just that from her point of view until Florence continued her sentence.
“I know I’m going to worry once I give birth to this one in a few months’ time”


“Oh you’re Expecting” Ash asked as Florence saw her looking,
“I’m 6 months pregnant right now. I know I look like a case of fit girl gone fat but it’s just the pregnancy right now” Florence giggled as Ash smiled.
“So you married or…..” Ash asked,
“Not yet but we are engaged to be so….we’ll see after our son is born” Florence said as Ash and her talked more before their break ended and they had to get back to work. Ash quickly got the hang of things as Porsha was on kitchen duty as the place was popular it seemed in town. Ash was able to tell the regulars from the occasional customers given the size difference between them. All of the regulars tended to be very chubby or fat themselves it seemed.


Finally the day came to an end as Florence beamed at her,
“You did well, really got the hang of it now” she said as Ash smiled and nodded as Porsha came out from the kitchen.
“How was your first day?” Porsha asked. She looked a little hot and sweaty from the heat in the kitchen.
“Good, think I got the hang of the checkouts now at least” Ash beamed as they both went to the break room to pick up Ash’s clothes and then left for the night.
“I’m beat” Ash said as she dropped on the sofa that evening.
“Yeah, it can be tiring I guess. So how did you get on with Florence?” Porsha asked as she joined Ash on the sofa.
“She’s really nice, really friendly too and made me feel super comfortable” Ash said as her belly gave a small growl.
“It’s about that time I guess, I’ll cook tonight” Porsha said as she giggled and stood back up heading over to the kitchen.


“I’m going to change, please don’t overdo it on the portions please” Ash smiled as Porsha giggled. Ash thought the day hadn’t been bad at all on the whole as she seemed to settle very quickly into her new role. Ash found a shower was just what she needed to relax her as she tried not to think too hard about her still protruding belly and chubbier body as she decided to try and look for a local gym to join. Ash looked at herself in the mirror when she stepped out and nodded to herself, it was best she did it soon before It became to difficult to lose all the extra Pudge she already had, Let Alone if she got any pudgier. She could smell whatever it was that Porsha had cooked and it smelt amazing as her belly growled in response. She dried off and put her underwear back on before she pulled on a pair of shorts and a tank top, her usual go to home wear and stepped out her eyes going a little wide when she saw the dining table.


“Dinners ready, I may have made a bit too much” Porsha giggled as Ash sighed but chuckled,
“Looks it” Ash said as she sat down.
“Well whatever you don’t eat we can leave for tomorrow” Porsha assured her as Ash giggled.
“Good, otherwise anyone would think you were trying to make me fatter” Ash giggled. Ash began to eat as she missed the look Porsha gave her at that remark. Porsha’s cheeks were flushed as she looked away and began to put food on her own plate. However Ash wasn’t prepared as Porsha’s food was delicious as she had put away two full plates worth before she realised it. Ash felt full and stuffed as she lay back, her belly round and taught as if she were 5 months pregnant. She gave a small belch and excused herself but Porsha grinned at her,
“Glad to see you enjoyed it” Porsha said standing up to put the plates in the sink.


Ash felt like she was going to pop any minute as she put a hand on her belly. Her shorts were undone as she had had to make room for her gorged belly. She belched again as she sighed looking down at her belly.
“I really need to find a gym soon or I’m going to be huge” Ash said as she grunted and stood up as Porsha nodded slowly. She was still blushing as she began to wash up.
“Yeah….well hope you find one” Porsha said weakly as Ash nodded and headed off to bed to sleep this meal off. She waddled a little due to the weight of her belly right now as she made her way into the bedroom and slowly lowered herself on the camp bed. Ash pulled her phone out with difficulty given her current swollen state as she looked up local gyms in the area. She found a few at least as she found two that were small gyms and not well known branches of bigger ones. She saw one was not too far from where they lived and made a note of the address deciding to head there after she finished work tomorrow.
“But my god Porsha can cook” Ash said as she lay back and fell asleep quickly.
