Chapter 5

Alice's life had taken a dramatic turn over the past few weeks. She found herself in a situation she had never imagined - being forced to gain weight to pay off her father's debt. At first, she resisted the idea, but as the pounds piled on, she found herself with a new resolve to get her father out of this situation and be done with Mr. Smith forever.

She stood in front of her full-length mirror, examining her reflection. Her hips and butt had grown considerably, and her breasts were fuller than ever before. She still struggled to come to terms with her changing body, but she was determined to see this through.

Just then, there was a knock on her door. She sighed and went to answer it, expecting it to be one of her friends checking up on her. But when she opened the door, she saw John, her neighbor, standing on the other side.

"Hey, Alice," John said with a friendly smile.

"I noticed you've been," he paused for a moment, seeming to search for the right words, "looking a little different lately."

Alice raised an eyebrow, feeling a pang of self-consciousness. "Different how?"

"Well, you know," he replied, shifting nervously on his feet. "You've just been, uh, looking more...full, I guess?"

Alice's hand unconsciously went to her stomach, but she quickly dropped it back to her side. "Oh, that," she said with a dismissive wave. "I've just been, uh, experimenting with my diet."

John's eyes lit up. "Really? I love trying new foods. Maybe we could have a little taste test sometime?"

Alice hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond. She had never thought of John in that way before, but she couldn't deny that there was something intriguing about the thought of sharing a meal with him.

"Sure," she said finally. "That could be fun.”

John beamed at her, and Alice couldn't help but smile back. "That sounds great, John. When were you thinking?"

"Why not tomorrow afternoon? I'll pick up some different things from the store, and we can try them all out by the pool. It'll be like a little barbecue taste test."

Alice hesitated for a moment, but then she nodded. "Okay, that sounds good. I'll bring some drinks."

John's face lit up. "Perfect. I can't wait. Be sure to bring a swimsuit"

The next day, Alice arrived at John's apartment complex with a cooler full of drinks in tow. She made her way to his door and knocked, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness.

John opened the door, and Alice was greeted by the smell of grilling meat and the sound of sizzling oil. "Come on in!" he said, gesturing for her to follow him.

Alice stepped into the apartment, her eyes scanning the room for any sign of the food. She could feel her stomach growling at the thought of all the delicious foods she was about to try, aching from its new capacity.

John led her through his living room and out to his back patio, where a small grill was set up with a variety of meats and vegetables. Alice's eyes widened as she took in the spread.

"I wasn't sure what you liked, so I got a little bit of everything," John said, noticing her reaction.

Alice laughed. "This is amazing. I'm not sure where to start," Alice said, taking a step closer to the grill and eyeing the juicy steaks and marinated chicken breasts.

John grinned and handed her a plate. "Why don't you start with whatever looks the most delicious to you, and then we can try each other's favorites?"

Alice nodded and loaded up her plate with a variety of meats and vegetables. They sat down at the small patio table, and John poured them each a glass of iced tea before joining her.

"I hope you're hungry," he said, gesturing to the food.

Alice smiled and picked up a skewer of marinated shrimp. "Starving," she replied, popping one into her mouth.

As they ate, they chatted about everything from their jobs to their favorite movies. Alice found herself enjoying John's company more and more with each passing moment.

"Hey, Alice," John said suddenly, breaking the comfortable silence that had fallen between them. "You should change into your bikini. You deserve to soak up some sun after all that hard work you've been doing."

Alice hesitated for a moment, feeling self-conscious about her changing body. But then she remembered the confidence she had been trying to cultivate and nodded. "Sure, I'll be right back." She wouldn’t let Smith put a damper on her social life too.

She went inside and changed into her bikini, taking a deep breath as she looked at herself in the mirror.

She marveled at the way her body had changed, noticing the new curves and plumpness that had formed. She felt a pang of sadness as she thought about how her body was changing due to her father's debt, but she quickly shook off those thoughts and focused on the task at hand.

When she returned to John's patio, he couldn't help but stare in awe. "Wow, Alice, you look incredible," he said, complimenting her on her poolside strut.

Alice blushed and sat down at the table, feeling a little bashful as her full belly settled just above her thighs. John passed her a plate with a succulent steak and a pile of seasoned vegetables. She picked up her fork and dug in, taking deep bites that filled her hungry belly. As she ate, John would sneak glances at her, a familiar hunger lingering in his gaze. She tried to ignore it, focusing instead on the delicious food in front of her.

After they finished their meal, John leaned back in his chair, his eyes still on Alice. She felt the warm breeze lightly caressing her bare skin, causing goosebumps to form on her arms.

The sun was slowly sinking below the horizon, casting a warm orange glow over the entire complex. John smiled at her, his eyes full of warmth and affection.

"Alice, you've hardly touched your dessert. Would you like me to feed it to you?" he asked, his voice soft and gentle.

Alice hesitated for a moment, unsure if she should accept his offer. But then she thought about how comfortable she felt around him and how much she had enjoyed their day together. She nodded her head, and John's face lit up with excitement.

He scooped up a spoonful of the rich chocolate mousse and held it out to her. Alice opened her mouth, letting him feed her the decadent dessert. She closed her eyes, savoring the taste and texture of the mousse.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that John was watching her with a hungry look in his eyes. It made her feel self-conscious, but there was also something thrilling about it.

As they wrapped up their day together, John helped Alice clean up the dishes while she packed up the remaining food.

"Thank you for this afternoon, John. I really enjoyed spending time with you," Alice said as she put away the leftovers, her stomach emitting a low and long growl.

“You know, it won’t taste quite the same as leftovers. Could I convince you to stay just a while longer and finish off the leftovers? It sounds like you might be hungrier than you let on.” John asked coyly.

Alice looked at him for a moment, considering his request. She had enjoyed their time together, and she didn't feel ready to say goodbye just yet.

"Sure," she said, smiling. "That sounds nice."

John grinned and brought out a single fork, spoon, and knife while putting the spread back out on the table. “Please, dig in then!” John said, gesturing to the spread before them.

Alice looked at the selection of savory and sweet dishes, her mouth watering in anticipation. She picked up a piece of chicken, bit into it and savored the burst of flavors in her mouth.
John watched with interest as Alice ate, his eyes moving between her mouth and her cleavage that had grown larger with each passing day. He felt torn between his desire for her and his guilt for finding pleasure in her weight gain.

But as the night progressed, John found it harder to resist the temptation of Alice's growing curves.

They continued to share stories and laughter as Alice finished off the leftovers, the silence between them broken only by the clinking of cutlery against her plates. The sun had set completely, leaving only the soft glow of the patio lights to illuminate their little corner of the world.

Alice asked John when she noticed he hadn’t moved, “aren’t you going to have any more? I didn’t realize you meant JUST me to finish all this food!” Her clothes were feeling tighter, and she had to admit that her belly was looking fuller than ever. She felt a mix of emotions about this – on one hand, she was happy to be fulfilling her father's debt, but on the other hand, she couldn't help but feel self-conscious about her changing body.

John, on the other hand, was becoming more and more enthralled by Alice's weight gain progression. He couldn't deny the attraction he felt towards her, even if it went against his usual preferences.

He had always considered himself a slim and fit guy, but there was something about Alice's lush figure that called to him.

John hesitated for a moment before finally shaking his head. "No, I think I've had my fill," he said, although the hunger in his eyes suggested otherwise.

As Alice finished off the last of the leftovers, she couldn't help but feel grateful for John's company. Despite her self-consciousness about her weight gain, he had never once made her feel uncomfortable or ashamed about her body.

As she sat in her post-stuffing bliss, she felt John place his hands upon her enlarged middle. His gentle touch shocked her, and she swallowed hard, not certain what to say or do.

"Alice," he murmured, "I hope you don't mind, but your new body has been driving me wild all evening. I know this isn't something that men typically say to women, but I find you incredibly enticing."

Alice was taken aback by John's declaration. She had never considered the possibility that someone would find her heavy frame attractive. She hesitated for a moment before replying.

"I'm flattered, John. I never thought my weight gain would be considered attractive," Alice said softly, her voice barely above a whisper.

John squeezed Alice's belly gently, feeling the warmth of her skin against his hands. "I don't know what it is about it, but you look gorgeous. I can't take my eyes off you," he confessed, and the sincerity in his voice was evident.

Alice couldn't help but feel a stirring in her chest at John's words. She had always assumed that people would see her weight gain as a negative thing, she certainly did, but John seemed to find it beautiful.

She couldn't help but feel a little bit flattered by his words, and she found herself leaning into his touch as he continued to gently explore her body.

John's heart raced as he felt Alice's response to his touch. He had never been with a woman like her before, and he found himself wanting to indulge in every inch of her changing form. But he knew that he needed to take things slow and make sure that Alice was comfortable with what they were doing.

"Is this okay?" he asked quietly, and Alice nodded.

She was surprised by how much she was enjoying the feel of his hands on her fuller belly. It was still a strange and unfamiliar sensation, but it wasn't unpleasant.

"Yes," she whispered, her eyes closed as she reveled in the feeling of his touch. "It feels good, John."

John smiled at her words and continued to gently stroke her belly, marveling at the way it felt beneath his fingers. He had never been with a woman who had curves like Alice, and he found himself growing more and more intrigued by her with every inch he felt.

“So…how much longer are you going to be ‘experimenting’ with your diet?” John asked bashfully. “Do you think you’ll be gaining any more weight, losing it, or staying the same?” He asked a little more boldly.

Alice opened her eyes, looking at him with a mix of curiosity and intrigue.

“I’m not sure yet,” she replied, biting her lower lip gently. “It depends on how things go with my, uh, little experiment.”

John nodded, understanding that she couldn’t reveal too much about her situation yet. He continued to explore her belly, enjoying the feel of her softness beneath his fingers.

“You look amazing, Alice,” he said, his voice full of admiration. “I mean it. You have no idea how attractive you are to me right now.”

Alice felt her cheeks flush at John’s words.

“We’ll just have to see how you feel about me in the weeks to come then…” Alice said.
