A belly gets his wish

Chapter 2 - A belly gets his wish, part 2

When Anne came back from shopping, she used the rear entrance to enter the house. She carried all the food in the kitchen and put it on the table. Then she opened the fridge and filled it up. While doing this she wondered about the silence in the guestroom. Normally the house is filled with the noise of all the guests talking to each other. But now, nobody seems to talk. So, she opened the door. She wanted to know the reason why it was so silent. When she glanced in the room, she was shocked by what she saw. Her husband set in a chair and leaned back. His naked tummy sticks in the air and he seemed to sleep. But wow, what a small, but round tummy he had. Never before she had seen him with a gut like this. She went to him and starred at his belly. She couldn’t believe what she saw. He looked round and firm. Her husband had a nice little ballbelly. This was cute! But how did he get it? What happened to her husband that his former very tiny paunch was now so big?
She looked around and reckoned that everybody in the room watched her. She was ashamed and her face turned red. But soon she got her feelings under control. She walked to a waiter and asked him what happened. The waiter told her everything and Anne couldn’t believe what he told her. This was too strange and crazy. No one could believe this. But a short glance at all the guest convinced her to believe.
She shook her head and thought about Jacob. He should be in the kitchen –out of public. Here most people starred at him. So, she went to him and took both hands of him to lift him up. But he was too heavy – she couldn’t move him. She looked for help and ordered two waiters to help her. Those two managed it to lift him up. They carried him in the kitchen and sat him on a chair. Jacob didn’t mind at all. He seemed to be helpless with all that food in his tummy.
Now, as Jacob was out of sight of all the guests, Anne had to act. She returned to the guests and did Jacob’s job: Serve the guests, make some small talks and control the waiters. While doing this many people visited the Coffee House and some of them asked for the owner. She always told them that he sleeps and that he’s not able to come.
The afternoon passed by and it was time to close the house. They close at 6 pm and Anne was glad about that. And everybody of the stuff was glad about it. Today, they had more guests than ever and most of the candies were sold out. Anne was exhausted and so were the waiters. She wished all of them a good evening and shut the door behind them.
When she entered the kitchen, she saw Jacob. He caressed his belly but stopped immediately when Anne came in. She noticed it but she didn’t mention that.
- “How do you feel, Jacob? Are you all right?”
- “Yes, I’m fine, thanks. You know what happened?”
- “Yes, I do. A waiter told me everything. First, I couldn’t believe it but your belly is the best evidence that everything is true.”
- “Yeah, everything is true – but somehow it is still unbelievable. How can a belly speak? How can my own belly speak to me? This is incredible but he did.”
- “Well, you’re right, sweetheart. But most astonishing is the amount of food you consumed. Look at this cute ballbelly in front of you. How much did you eat?”
- “I don’t really know, darling. I ate what I was told – and that was quite a lot. But it’s ridicules, Anne, I’m hungry again. Isn’t that insane?”
Anne took a look at his belly than she looked at him.
- “Did your belly tell you to eat? I didn’t hear anything.”
- “Well, no. He didn’t say anything but I feel hungry.”
- “Jacob, look at this gut and remember of everything you have eaten some hours ago. Do you really feel hungry?”
- “Yes, Anne. I’m hungry. I’d like to have something liquid – a soup would be wonderful.”
- “Ok, ok. I’ll cook a vegetable soup for you. And while I’m busy, you go to the guestroom and take a look, if everything is all right.”
To his own surprise, Jacob could stand up. His expanded belly hangs over his waistband but he didn’t jiggle as his belly was still too full. He left the kitchen and went to the guestroom. It took him a while to control everything. When he returned, a very great pot stood in the middle of the table. Several thick slices of buttered bread laid in a basket. Next to the basket, there was butter on a plate. Anne had done her best. She had added quite an amount of butter to the soup. Now, she was curious, how much he will eat. She helped herself and filled her plate. Then she handed the ladle to him. But he didn’t fill his plate. He took the big pot and pulled it in front of him. Then he tucked in. Anne lost control for a minute. Did he really want to eat it up? Jacob noticed how astonished Anne looked.
- “I’m starving, Anne. Please, excuse me. There won’t be anything left for you!”
She couldn’t believe her eyes. Spoon after spoon went into his mouth. When he was nearly done, he took a break. He pattered his ample belly and leaned back. Anne reckoned the size of his gut and felt wet between her legs. Therefore, she was sure: He should empty that pot.
- “Darling, you won’t quit now, will you? There are only some spoons left. Just open your mouth and I will feed you. Will you do that for me?”
Jacob nodded and Ann grabbed the spoon and filled the waiting mouth. He swallowed and opened his mouth again. Soon, the big pot was empty and Anne was satisfied.
- “You’re a good boy, Jacob. You promised that there will be nothing left for me. You’re right, sweetheart. Everything is gone into your belly and he looks cuter than before. Look at it, Jacob. You have such a nice small ballbelly”.
Jacob nodded again. He felt more than full and he was tired. He wanted to go to bed. He wanted to think about that day and think about all those extreme experiences, he made today. Anne noticed his desire. She helped him to get up and guided him to the sleeping room. There, he laid on the bed and Anne dimmed the light. She also was sleepy but there was still a lot to do. She cleaned the kitchen and the dishes. While doing this, her thoughts went to Jacob. She always liked him handsome, but he refused always to eat more. Now, she got her chance to make him handsome. He was so cute with his little ballbelly – and maybe she’ll manage it that he will look much better.
