chapter 6

An hour later Jake got into his Mercedes and drove off. He felt very satisfied with himself. He had enjoyed a great night of passion, the dungeon part had been painful, but wasn't pain so close to pleasure? His back was testament to that. his shoulders still ached somewhat as well. Nevertheless, he was glad he had escaped her clutches. He had no intention of returning to see what she would get up to on a second visit. No he'd had enough of the 'dark side' for a while.
Strangely he also felt full and lethargic. What had he eaten recently that would make him so bloated? He did not normally suffer from constipation either, but a good run when he got home would blow the cobwebs away. He would feel so much better after that.
As soon as he got in, he changed into his running gear and headed out at a run to the park. Unfortunately, he found he didn't have his usual energy or enthusiasm. He felt winded as soon as he got to the park and slowed down to a jog. He ran around the lake and passed the children's play area. An ice cream kiosk was open. Suddenly his mouth began to water. When was the last time he'd had an ice cream? He was so hungry! He had to try one! After all he had a fast metabolism. He would be able to work it off in no time! Sometimes when out for a run, he did not bring any cash with him. He relied on Sunshine to let him in the apartment because he had no pockets for things like keys. Today, he was wearing his bum bag with his keys and an emergency stash of cash and a credit card. He had enough money for a 99 cone. He wished there was not a queue and he didn't have to wait! As soon as it was in his hand he started licking the sweet creaminess of the ice cream. He sat down on a bench near the lake where he could enjoy his snack in peace. Oh, it tasted so cool and sweet! The chocolate flake and the sugar cone gave just the right amount of crunch. He finished it within minutes. Now that was a treat he ought to have more often! Why had he not thought of it before?
He couldn't possibly run any more now! He tried a little jog, but he felt the ice-cream jiggling inside him. No, he would just walk the rest of the way. Indeed, why bother? Maybe he would just start making his way home.
He left the park and walked down the high street. He noticed very tempting smells there that he had not noticed before. He passed a bakery and glanced in the window. Seconds later he turned around and went inside. There were so many tempting goodies inside. He hardly knew where to start! He told himself he could buy and eat whatever he liked. He had a fast metabolism after all. He left the bakery with a small steak and kidney pie, a cheese pastie and a chocolate eclair.
A little further down the road, he called into the newsagent and bought two bags of crisps a bar of chocolate and a two litre bottle of coke.
He avoided Sunshine's gaze as he got in the apartment and headed straight for his bedroom. He was sooo hungry! Usually after a run, he headed straight for the shower. Today, he jumped on his bed and opened his bags with excitement and enthusiasm. What was he going to try first?
He opened the small paper bag that held the steak and kidney pie and took a bite. The short crust pastry was crisp, but crumbled in his mouth. The filling was moist, and tender with plenty of gravy. Oh it tasted so good!
With the first pie gone, Jake settled himself down to his mini banquet. He put his telly on and opened his first bag of crisps. Cheese and onion flavour. Why had be not eaten these greasy, salty snacks before? He threw the empty packet on the floor and opened up the bag containing the cheese pastie. The pastry was flaky, crisp and crumbly. As soon as he bit into it, bits fell from his lips onto his duvet. Inside was a cheese and potato mixture that was so deliciously cheesey. Oh he was in heaven! he opened up the second bag of crisps and ate them almost without thinking. another empty packet fell on the floor. He was starting to feel a little full now. He took a long swig from his bottle of coke. He felt his belly try to expand with all the liquid he poured down it. He rested a few moments, had a few large burps to let the gas escape, then started on his chocolate eclair. Wow! he loved whipped cream! Whipped cream and sweetened chocolate was even better! Tomorrow he would have to get more of these! They were such a treat, but he could treat himself as much as he liked these days. He would not put one pound on because of his fast metabolism. He finished his meal with his chocolate bar and the rest of the coke.
He felt huge! He felt like his stomach was sticking out like he was pregnant!
He struggled to stand up. He looked at himself in the mirror. He lifted his T shirt with one hand and rubbed his belly with the other. There! He needn't worry! His belly was as flat as ever! He was as gorgeous as ever, he could eat whatever he liked and not put on any weight!
He could not be bothered to go out that night. He did not want to pick up girls and have boring sex. It had been years since he'd spent a night in front of the telly and that was exactly what he was going to do!
Later that night, though, around nine o'clock, he started to get hungry again. He looked in the fridge in the kitchen. Salad and hummus did not appeal to him and would not fill the enormous hunger that he felt inside him. He was starting to think he was going to have to go out again, when he saw a leaflet for a take out pizza place in the bin. They did deliveries too! Yes! That would fit the bill nicely! He picked up the phone and took the menu into his room. He chose a 10 inch pepperoni pizza, but hesitated before he placed his order. The company would only deliver if the order was over �10. He finally ordered a second pizza and two x 2 litre bottles of coke plus a 'death by chocolate' cake.
He made sure he answered the door.
He knew he had been over zealous with his order. He only managed to eat one pizza and one bottle of coke, but he could leave the rest for tomorrow.
He was too full to eat the slice of cake, but he thought he would just have a little taste of it. Of course he didn't finish there. He lay back on his bed, and let the discarded empty carton fall to the floor. He let the sugar hit get to him and fell asleep feeling very content.
