The One He Couldn't Have

Chapter 1

- Why would you call someone a pig like that?
- I was just describing what I saw...
- You cannot do that. Never again.
- Fine...

*****

- 6:00 a.m. Time to go.
Aaron quickly sit up in the border of the bed, cleaned his eyes and looked over his shoulder just to sigh at the sight of the woman lying next to him, still deeply asleep, almost snoring. He couldn't help but stare as her swollen belly moved up and down with her breathing. Never again --- he thought.

He gathered his clothes from around the room, dressed up as best he could and silently left the apartment he had slept in.
*****

- Did you sleep well?
- I barely slept at all.
- Was it that good?
- I always am.
- You have to be, with the kind of girls you pick, you obviously have to do all the work.
- Meh...
- I don't get it, man. Why the hell do you pick those whales? You could do so much better! HONESTLY! If I was half as fit and good looking as you...
- Do you want a turn?
- Don't be an idiot... of course that's not what I meant!
- Then shut up. I'm too tired for this shit.
- I'm just saying man, you're wasting your time with those fat asses.

*****
- Hi baby, are you coming to your grandma's today?
- Yeah mom, I'm getting ready right now.
- Can you please make a stop in the bakery? Apparently Dean is coming and he is bringing his girlfriend, so I want to make sure we aren't short on cupcakes and other snacks. Just tell them you are there to pick up Mirna's package, it's already paid.
- Sure, anything else?
- Yes, please also go to the supermarket and get a 16 sausage pack and bread. You know, I'll send you a list, there are other things missing.
- 16 for just two people?
- Your grandma wants to have left overs for tomorrow morning, she doesn't feel like cooking, but I'm also trying to account for other unexpected guests; maybe you'll bring a lovely friend.
- Not happening...
- I know baby, I'm just kidding, but I do think you should bring someone at some point, you're over 30 now.
- ... I gotta go.
- Love you.
- Love you too.

Aaron left his phone, dried his hair with a towel and got dressed up.

*****

- Hello, I'm here to get Mirna's package?
- Oh yeah, let me go get it. Big party, huh?
- Yeah...

The guy in the counter came back a few minutes later with 6 bags of food in a big box.

- Can I take the box with me? I'll bring it back when I've put everything in the car.
- Sure, need any help?
- No, I'm good, I just don't want to break the bags or make multiple laps to take these to the car.
- Okay, let me know if you need any help.
- Thanks.

Time to put the gym hours to use --- he thought --- though I can't say i don't often do it.

He went back to the bakery to give the box back, but the guy was no longer there, so Aaron approached one of the cashiers. She was chewing in something and felt uncomfortable as his gaze was on her. He didn't say anything.

- Can I help you? --- she said while cleaning her hands with a wet towel.
- No. Yes. Sorry. I want to give this back --- he said as he stared at her from head to toe, stopping in the crumbs in her lips, then her double chin, to finish in her belly; barely trying to hide his interest.
- Thank you.--- she said while trying to hide her body behind the counter, covering her belly with the box.

He spotted a big tray of brownies next to her. It didn't seem like they were in sale. They were almost finished. So this is what you were muching on, piggy--- he hissed. The cashier's cheeks turned a bright red. She stood straighter. Suck it in if you want, it's still big enough for me to see --- Aaron looked in her eyes, drawing an evil smile n his face. Call me --- he said as he handed her a small card, which she took with a shaky hand, smiling.

*****

- Thank you honey, Im glad you were able to pick this for me, I'm going crazy with all the set up for the reunion. Everybody is excited since Dean is coming over.
- Is he really?
- Yeah, auntie Milly told me yesterday. Dean and his girlfriend moved back in town a few months ago, but they've had some issues to take care of, so they didn't know if they would be able to come until last night.
- What issues could Dean have?
- Oh, don't be bitter! He's your cousin! But i think it was related to home renovations. You know how contractors are sometimes...
- I guess... Do you need anything else?
- No honey, thank you. I think Victor is by the pool, if you want to say hello.

Aaron opened the french door that lead to the garden. He spotted Victor and sat next to him in one of the long chairs, grabbing a beer from the cooler.

- So you did shower. I was wondering if you'd have time.
- I didn't go to the gym today, and I didn't have to work in the morning.
- Lazy Saturday then.
- Normal Saturday. Did you know Dean is coming?
- Yeah, your mom has been telling everyone when they set foot in the house.
- What a bother. I wouldn't have come if I had known. And he's bringing some girl, of course my mom took it as a pretext to ask me about...
- Your little piggies?
- ... me getting a girlfriend.
- So she doesn't know you're into land whales?
- Why would I tell her if I'm not serious with any of them?
- So you get serious with one?
- Nah...
- Why not? Are you ashamed of the fatties you sleep with?
- Shut up. It's not that. I just don't care to have anything like that with anyone. I'm fine just sleeping around.
- I'm not judging...or maybe I am. But if I were you, I'd be a little embarrassed to bring any of those porkers to a family reunion.

Aaron wasn't even looking at him, he was staring at the pool. Was he embarrassed of the girls he liked?

- Oh honey, I'm so glad you two made it!!! We were all waiting for you! Everyone is excited to see you here!
Aaron heard the excited noise his mother was doing and turned his head to see what the commotion was about.
- Thank you auntie, I'm glad we made it too. I've missed this reunions so much! It's been way too long since I last attended! Anyway, this is Audrey, my girlfriend.
- Please to meet you ma'am.
- Oh please, call me auntie Mirna, or just Mirna. Whatever you prefer.
- Thank you, Mirna. It's really nice to meet you. Dean has told me a lot about you.
- Oh, he's just the sweetest, don't you think?
- He sure is! --- Audrey lovingly looked at Dean as he looked back at her with a soft smile.

Aaron couldn't believe his eyes. This girl was just... obese. But there was more. Those big eyes, the naturally perfect outline of her lips, her long silky hair, so dark it made her skin look pale, though it was a light shadow of brown. He couldn't help but stare at her until she looked at him. A brief expression of disgust crossed her face when her eyes met his, just to turn to someone else right the second she saw him.

4 hamburgers, 4 special sausages, 8 hotdogs, he lost count of the pastries and drinks she had. And Dean had brought her half of the food she ate. Aaron had been looking at her the whole evening, but never approached. What was this about? Dean had brought two girls to family reunions before, he remembered how they changed with time, but it seemed logical to everybody. Dean was always interested in cooking and he had become a chef, everyone thought that the girls just enjoyed his food too much, they had broken up after they got fat anyway, it wasn't strange to anybody. It even seemed logical that he broke up with them qhen they got too fat for his taste. But this girl was already obese. Were they going to break up soon? He sure...

- Oh! I can't believe you were in that beach last summer! My friends and I were there at the same time for a bachelorette party! Can't believe we didn't meet there!
- Yeah, it's not such a big resort, I can't believe it either!

Aaron approached when he heard Sam. Audrey was showing her pictures of Dean and her in different places. Apparently they had been together for 8 months or so. Aaron couldn't believe his eyes. In the older pictures, Audrey looked fat, but in the most recent ones she was at least 10 kg fatter, likely more. Her clothes were undeniably tighter, especially the bikini. Yes, she was showing pictures of herself on a bikini. Aaron could feel his blood rushing to his dick, but he couldn't let everyone see him getting hard in this situation, so he went inside and sat on the couch.

A few minutes later, he heard the door opening and saw Dean going to the kitchen. He stayed there for a brief moment and then went back to the garden. Aaron tilted his head back to rest it in the couch, closed his eyes and his memory went straight to the minute he saw Audrey for the first time. Same big eyes and perfect lips, but younger. He was interrupted by the noise of the door opening again, but this time he saw Audrey going to the kitchen.

He could hear muted noises. 20 minutes and she was still there. He quietly approached and stood in the door frame. There she was, stuffing her face silly, moaning silently with each bite.

Aaron looked at her, loosing track of time. Something inside him made him react. Wasn't she concerned someone in the family would see her eating like this?

- Grandma wanted to have left overs for tomorrow.

Audrey froze for a second. She then swallowed, smiled and slowly directed her eyes to Aaron. He couldn't look away as she cleaned the mustard and ketchup in her mouth with her thumb and licked it. Aaron was under the impression that she was defying him with those gestures.

- Dean said he'd keep everyone outside.
- I've been in the living room for about an hour.
- Well, nobody noticed.
- Oh but they'll notice the missing food, won't they? Especially if they found you eat...
- Eating like a pig?
- Yes. Have you had dessert yet? I hope not, nobody else has had any cupcakes.
- Do you think I could eat all of the cupcakes?
- You don't?
- Dean got me my own dessert. --- Said Audrey with a smug smile in her face. Then she opened a big box on her right. --- I'm almost done with it, but I wanted something savory before. --- Only 10 pieces of cake were in the box, which originally had at least 30.
- Well, I guess you can eat them now.

Audrey took the first piece of cake and ate it, moaning and closing her eyes, instinctively putting her free hand on her belly, rubbing it. She took another and shoved it whole in her mouth. She was suddenly shoving one piece after the other in her mouth. Aaron couldn't help but stare, feeling confused, yet excited, trying to control his erection. It wasn't long before the cake was finished. Audrey sat in the kitchen floor, her dress tightly hugging her belly.

- I'm...so full... --- she loudly burped.
- Well you certainly pigged out, look at yourself. Can you even move?
- Piss off...
- Figures. You said Dean got you the cake?

Audrey stood up, with extreme difficulty. She waddled to the living room. As she was reaching the kitchen door frame, the french door opened, Dean quickly approaching Audrey.

- How do you feel my love?
- Very full. But I finished it all and had some of the left overs from earlier. --- she burped.
- You did great, your dress is extremely tight. --- He kissed her forehead.
- I'm still a little hungry, but someone interrupted. --- Audrey looked at Aaron and Dean finally noticed his cousin, standing in a corner of the kitchen.

- Oh, I didn't see you before. --- Dean said, with a puzzled look.
- Yeah...--- Aaron replied, annoyed. He walked toward the garden door, angrily.

Dean stayed next to Audrey, caressing her face and rubbing her belly.

- We should go home, let you fill that pretty belly of yours completely.
- Yes please, I'm also really horny, I need you to play with my naked fat as soon as possible.
- Let's get you to the car, I'll tell everyone you're feeling unwell and we have to go.

She waddled to the main entrance of the house. Dean kissed her and went back inside to say goodbye to everyone.

Aaron was sitting by the pool again when he heard Dean giving excuses to everyone on behalf of Audrey. They loved her anyway. How could they not? --- Aaron thought.
