Chapter 4 - romance and a visit home

Ashley cell phone went off at eight-thirty in the morning, fortunately Ashley was awake, though just lying in bed, (caressing her belly). "Hello" "Ashley, it me Clara, Good Morning." "Good morning to you too." Clara went on, "Ashley, can I send Jack over, say around nine thirty to pick you up for brunch?" "Oh nine-thirty will be just fine." Replied Ashley. "Good, Oh wear something comfortable and "stretchy" Ashley." "Okay, I will, see you around nine thirty." Ashley hung up the phone and went to the bathroom to start getting ready. Ashley took a quick shower and blew dry her hair. She started to go through her clothes, dressed only in a bikini panty and bra, her sexiest though. She decided on a pair of stretch pants, with a stretchy t-shirt, a pair of pumps and nice ear rings and a necklace comfortable, but just a little dressy .

Jack pulled up in Ashley's car, promptly at nine thirty. Ashley did one final look in the mirror at her ensemble, she giggled patting her round bottom cheeks, which clearly showed panty lines from her bikini panty. She went down the stairs feeling her body jiggle.

Jack got out and opened the door for Ashley, she could not resist giving him a quick little kiss on the cheek for being so polite. Jack said, "Ashley you look wonderful this morning." She smiled, "Thank you Jack."

They drove over to Clara's. Just shooting the breeze and chatting. They pulled up in front of Clara's house and Jack again came around the car and opened Ashley's door for her. She loved that he was so polite, other than the great food, Ashley loved how polite and respectful the men were in the south. They went in the house. Ashley was almost bowled over by the aromas coming from Clara's kitchen. The dining room table was covered with rich southern breakfast and luncheon treats. Ashley's tummy growled, she blushed hoping that Jack did not hear it. She looked around, he was right behind her and just winked at her. Ashley giggled, thinking, "I am so lucky to find a guy who loves how plump I am now." Jack pulled out of chair for Ashley to sit down. He took the one next to her.

In minutes everyone was at the table, a quick grace was said and the food began to flow. Ashley didn't want to scare off Jack by eating too much, but he kept offering platters to Ashley, she just kept loading food onto her plate. The food, of course, was fantastic and Ashley could not stop eating. She chatted with Jack between bites. He kept suggesting different foods and entres for Ashley to try, and try she did. Lucille and Clara looked on approvingly as Ashley continued to eat, with Jack's encouragement.

By eleven-thirty Ashley was stuffed, bloated, engorged, turned on and happier than she had ever been. She sat in her chair caressing her engorged, distended abdomen, trying not to belch. She was chatting with Jack, they both could not keep their eyes off one another.

Everyone started to get up from the table, Clara, Sally Jo and Lucille started to clear the table and Ashley, pushed back her chair, "Oh Clara, let me help! You did all the cooking and it was wonderful". She squeezed between the back of her chair and Jack's chair, accidently (on purpose) bumping Jack with her round bottom cheeks, giggling "Oh excuse me, Jack." Ashley turned and leaned into Jack to pickup an empty platter lying on the table. Jack looked up her and she winked at him.

The girls had the table cleared and the dishwasher running in just twenty minutes. Lucille piped up, "Jack, dear, why don't you show Ashley where your office is and the hospital, I'm sure she would love to see them." Jack replied, "Great idea mom. Ashley, are you up for a little drive?" "Oh I would love to!" Both Jack and Ashley could not wait to be alone in the car! They drove over to the doctor's office whose practice Jack was going to take over and then to the hospital.

Getting back in the car after a quick tour, Jack asked, "Where to?" Ashley put her hand on Jack's thigh, "My apartment doctor, and it's an emergency!" She giggled. They drove to her apartment and went in. No sooner had the door close than they were embracing. Jack was running his hands over Ashley's awesome round bottom, while she was pushing her pot belly into Jack. They staggered into the bedroom and started peeling off each other's clothes. Ashley had deliberately worn her sexiest lingerie under her stretch pants and t-shirt, now just in the lacy bikini panty and bra, her plump round belly bulging over the waist band, her boobs filling the bra and everything jiggling, Jack was totally smitten! They fell onto the bed, rolling, laughing and fondling each other. Jack loved the feel of sinking has hands into Ashley soft, round bottom cheeks, making them jiggle and shake. He caressed her little pot belly, hefting it, letting it fall onto his chest while Ashley straddled him. Jack loved the softness of her body and how everything jiggled with every move they made. They made love for over an hour, then lying in bed kissing and fondling for nearly two hours.

Around five they shared the shower, Ashley let Jack scrub her belly and bottom cheeks. They did a little bump and grind in there too. Jack and Ashley got dressed, Ashley wore the same outfit, but different lingerie and went back over to Clara's house for supper. She did not want it to be too obvious where they had been all afternoon. Supper was some of Ashley favorite southern comfort foods and she, to Jack's delight, indulged herself.

After supper everyone went into the family room and they watched the late football games. It was getting late when Jack escorted Ashley to the door, they stepped outside, kissing and fondling. They made plans to go the New Orleans for the remainder of the weekend.

Jack and Ashley had a great time in New Orleans. She loved Jack's apartment, not far from the hospital and the food in the French Quarter was awesome and Ashley was not shy about partaking.

On Sunday, Ashley reluctantly drove back to Parkins. She was in love with Jack and he with her. Things were moving pretty quickly, but they both felt comfortable.

During the next few weeks, Ashley and Jack texted or called each other several times a day. Ashley really wanted to see Jack over the Christmas holidays, but she had promised her Mom she would come home for a visit then.

On the 22nd of December, Ashley flew home. She was a little concerned about her family's reaction to her gaining weight, but she knew Jack loved her new figure. She got off the plane and saw her Mom waiting near the baggage claim area. Ashley was wearing a pair of stretch pants and a tight top, which hugged and accentuated her new curves. She walked over and she and her Mom hugged.
