Chapter 5 - coming home

I was in a hospital bed and my leg was elevated.

"Hello there," said the doctor as she looked over my chart, "You had a pretty nasty fall, you've got a compound fracture so we will need to put a cast on your leg."

Oh boy.

"Good news," said the doctor, "You've got a friend out in the waiting room."

The doctor showed Beth in.

"A nurse will be right down the hall if you need anything," said the doctor as she left the room.

"Hi Emmy. How are you feeling?" asked Beth.

"Beth, why are you here?" I said.

"If you want me to go, I will go."

"No, it is just that I said such nasty things to you," I said.

"I'm here because we are friends," said Beth, "At least I think so."

"You are my best friend," I said, reaching out and grabbing her hand, "I just felt taken advantage of."

"I'm so sorry about that. I didn't mean anything by all the food originally. I was just trying to be nice," said Beth.

"Originally?" I asked.

"I think you look cute chubby," she said with a blush, "That was totally inappropriate. We are just friends."

"I'm not sure about that," I said, pulling her towards my bed and giving her a soft kiss.

"What was that?" Beth asked.

"I don't know, I just know that went I thought you were manipulating me, it hurt me more than anything anyone has ever done to me. You mean so much to me," I said.

"Same here," said Beth, "So what does that mean?"

"It means we have some exploratory making out to do when we get back to the apartment," I said.

They discharged me from the hospital a few days later, I was going to need to keep off my feet for weeks followed by rehab. My office offered to let me work from home through my physical therapy. I happily accepted, working from bed sounded great.

Beth volunteered to take care of me while I healed.

"Do you need anything right now?" asked Beth once she had gotten me setup.

"A kiss," I said. The exploratory making out went well and led to further expeditions. Sure, Beth may not have been what I thought my type was but I was finding myself happy playing with her belly and rolls. They were sexy, in that 'confident in her own skin' Beth way, the same things I liked about her body were the same things I loved... er liked about her personality.

"Actually, I could also go for one of those root beer floats," I added. She was happy to comply.

Working from home and stuck in bed or a chair made it easy to eat all of the time. The cast made it difficult for Beth and I to be physically romantic, I think we both channeled our lust into food. Beth preparing it and me eating it. Beth became an even better cook, preparing me elaborate (huge) meals. I told her that pie was my favorite dessert so she started making all the pies. Like, literally, every kind of pie I had ever heard of. Each day was a new pie and we ate all of it.

By the time I was set to have my cast off, I had gained another 25 pounds. I still looked small next to Beth but I was big compared to anyone else. My breasts had grown a cup size which I was happy with. I was getting chubby cheeks which Beth was happy with. I was getting some serious booty which we were both happy with.

"Your friend will have to wait out here while we take your cast off," said a nurse.

"Oh, she's not my friend," I said, "She's my girlfriend."

I'm very happy I answered that Craigslist ad for a roommate. I'm still gaining thanks to Beth. I love the feeling of our soft bodies together in the bedroom we share. Now, my old bedroom is empty. Maybe we should make a posting on Craigslist and find some underfed soul who needs a new place to live.
