Chapter 2 - fall weight gain

She and Clara went out to drive back over to the school. Ashley could feel how full she was. The meeting resumed as soon and as everyone got back. Ashley was full and a bit tried, so she drank sweet tea the rest of the afternoon to stay awake.

The meeting ended around five, Ashley went down to the rest room to pee, she had had so much tea to drink. When she came out the principal was waiting in the office for her. "Ashley, would you join me for dinner this evening? I like to get to know my new faculty members before school starts." "I would love to ma'am, let me get my things."

They went to one of the nicer restaurants in town. Ashley was still feeling full from lunch and drinking sweet tea all afternoon, but the menu was awesome. The principal insisted that Ashley order a rich, deep fried sea food platter. The prawns were huge and coated with a rich greasy batter, Ashley could not resist, she cleaned her plate. The principal insisted they have desert and Ashley had a large slice of pecan pie with a large scoop of ice cream.

Ashley and the principal got back to her car, parked at the middle school around eight o'clock. Ashley thanked her for a wonderful dinner and great conversation. She got in her car and drove to her apartment. She got her things and went inside. She needed to use the bathroom again and went in.

Ashley was stunned, she was so full, she was visibly bloated. She pulled off her sun dress and stared at the bulge that this morning had been a flat stomach. She thought, "Mom was right about Louisiana, I am going to have to really watch what I eat and how much or I am going to get huge here." She went to bed full and bloated.

The next morning Ashley decided no breakfast, she had to get her appetite under control. She was fine until that morning's meetings started. The center of the table was covered with rich pastries and other southern treats. There was coffee too, but only real cream and sugar to doctor it up. So again, Ashley ate a lot more calories and grams of fat than she intended too.

They went to the same buffet/restaurant that they went to the day before and again Ashley ate way more than she intended to. Back to the school for the remainder of the day.

As the last meeting broke up, Clara came over to Ashley, "Ashley, honey what are you doing for supper?" Ashley looked at Clara, "I don't have any plans, I thought I would fix something at my apartment." "Ashley why don't you come over to my house for supper, it's not far and I would love to have you meet my family." Ashley could hardly refuse, though she had planned to barely eat anything at home, since she had had so much to eat all day. "I would love to Clara, what time?" "Why don't you just follow me home right now." Ashley giggled, "That works for me."

She followed Clara out to the parking lot, noticing how heavy Clara was. She dutifully followed Clara a few blocks and pulled up in front of a modest, but well-kept house, as Clara pulled into a carport. She got out and met Clara outside the carport. "Come in Ashley."

Clara led Ashley inside, she opened the door the house was nice and cool. Ashley was warm, as her car barely had time to cool off with a short drive. Clara's husband, Ted was sitting in a lounger, he got up when the women came in. ""Ted this is our new math teacher, Ashley Fox, Ashley this is my husband Ted." Ashley smiled, "Nice to meet you Ted." "The same ma'am. Clara you didn't tell me how pretty she is!" Ashley blushed a bit. Ashley appreciated the compliment. She was a little startled by Ted, he was huge. Six foot four and weighed nearly three hundred pounds, with a big belly bulging out in front of him. "Now Ted, don't go embarrassing the poor girl."

Clara said, "Ashley make yourself at home. Would you like something to drink? Supper will be ready in about twenty minutes." Ted blurted out, "How about a beer Ashley?" "A beer would be nice, yes please." Ted went into the kitchen and got a couple of beers.

He and Ashley chatted while Clara got supper organized. She had put a crock pot on early that morning, so she just needed to cook some rice and a vegetable. While they were talking, Clara and Ted's daughter, Sally Jo, came in. "Hi Mom, hi Dad." Ted said, "Sally Jo, this is the new math teacher, Miss Fox." "Oh pleased to meet you ma'am." "Please to meet you too, Sally Jo."

Ashley was getting used to nearly everyone being overweight in Parkins. Sally Jo, was quite plump, being almost as tall as Clara and Ashley but weighing at least thirty pounds more than Ashley did.

Clara soon called, "Supper is ready you'all." They went into the dining-room and Clara insisted that Ashley sit next to her. Clara served Ashley a heaping plate of gumbo, a couple slices of thick warm bread and several spoonful's of rice, before Ashley could say a thing. Ted got her another beer too.

Ashley cleaned her plate and Clara dutifully refilled it for her. She had another beer before they finished too. Clara had Sally Jo bring out a large pecan pie and a tub of ice cream and she insisted that Ashley have a large slice and a couple scoops of ice cream. They washed down the pie and ice cream with glasses of sweet tea. Ashley really did enjoy herself, though she had not planned on eating so much, but she enjoyed talking with Ted and Clara, as well as Sally Jo.

By eight-thirty and now stuffed Ashley was ready to go home and get to bed, the first day of classes was tomorrow. She hugged everyone good bye trying not to bump anyone with her bloated abdomen. Ted walked her to her car. "Thank you Ted for having me, I had a wonderful time." "You're welcome Ashley, we expect to see a lot more of you too."

She drove over to her apartment, only a few blocks, but it was still stifling hot out. While driving she thought about Ted' comment about "seeing a lot more of her" thinking to herself, "Am I going to get a lot bigger, or just come by more often. If I eat like I did tonight, it will be both!"

Ashley went into her apartment and peeled off her dress and went into the bathroom. She was surprised by her reflection. She was quite bloated, her belly was sticking out so much there was a curve in it from the waist band of her bikini curving up to just below her boobs. Ashley ran her hand over her belly, getting just a bit aroused, she thought, "I can sure see why everyone down here is so fat, the food is awesome and so much of it. I should really start working out." She brushed her teeth and hair, pulled off her panty and bra and got a teddie and bikini panty to wear to bed.

Ashley showered , dressed and had a quick breakfast, knowing that the office at school would be well stocked with pasties, etc. This was the first day of school and she was excited to meet her pupils. She was right, there were plenty of rich pastries and Ashley indulged.

She was the only math teacher, so she had the sixth , seventh and eighth grades. She had the basic classes as well as algebra for the eighth graders. She also had a "homeroom" , as it turned out she had Clara's Sally Jo in her homeroom. She wasn't surprised that nearly all of the kids were overweight, some were even morbidly obese even at just ten to thirteen years old. The kids were all very polite, calling her ma'am or Miss Fox.

The term got off to a good start. Ashley was very busy with her five classes and a homeroom to look after. She enjoyed working with the children very much and was becoming quite popular. She tutored several students after school. Their moms typically sent baked and fried treats to Ashley to thank her for working with their children. Ashley also started a "Math Club" which became more popular with Ashley showing films and some hands on engineering experiments. The moms took turns at bringing plenty of refreshments.

As the term went on, Ashley had little time for any exercise and the heavy, rich southern cooking and all the snacking were putting some pounds on Ashley's figure. She was gaining about a pound or two a week. She was asked to supper at Clara and Ted's frequently and out to eat by other members of the faculty and staff.

The beginning of November after a very indulgent Halloween holiday, Ashley was getting dressed on Saturday morning, she decided to wear a pair of jeans she hadn't worn in quite awhile. She pulled on a pair of panties, having to "dance" a little to get her thighs through the leg openings, thinking "these must have shrunk". She started to pull on the jeans and struggled to get the waist band over her plump bottom cheeks. Looking in the mirror she was startled to see her cheeks piled on top of the waist band, jiggling with every tug on the jeans. Her panties were cutting into her plump cheeks as she struggled with the jeans. Ashley thought, "God have I gotten this fat?" She looked down and realized her belly was sagging over the waist band of her bikini. She looked up at the mirror again, her round bottom cheeks were still holding back the waist band of the jeans, her t-shirt was riding up on a jiggling belly and she was getting a little winded from the tugging and pulling. She finally gave up and got her legs out of the jeans and tossed them on her bed. Looking in the mirror again, Ashley took stock of her figure, her belly was now bulging out farther than her modest boobs. Her boobs were bigger now than they ever had been before. Ashley lifted her belly and let it fall, causing it to jiggle and shake. She reached around and patted her cheeks, feeling how soft they were, she gave her bottom a slap and her cheeks shook like "jello". Ashley went to her scale, which she had been avoiding and stood on it. The dial raced to one hundred and forty-five pounds. Ashley almost screamed out loud, "Oh my god, I have gained thirty five pounds!"
