Chapter 3 - bloat-over

"Oh, please don't let Julia notice this gut...Please, oh, please..." Lucy stammered to herself as she walked into her restaurant. Ever since her weight gain dream, she felt a little uneasy about seeing her boss, who seemed to be encouraging her to eat more even though she was stuffed to the gills. For the life of her, Lucy could not understand why the dream excited her, and that made her uneasy. She was still feeling bloated from last night, so she gave up trying to suck her belly in, and instead just let it hang out. She examined herself in a window's reflection, and saw patches of white skin showing through between her shirt's buttons. She sighed to herself once again, ashamed that she had made such a pig of herself last night, not to mention in her following dream.

"Oh, Lucy, are you okay, darling?" Julia was suddenly behind Lucy, and hearing her voice, Lucy jumped. "Oh, I'm sorry, dear, but you seemed a bit down..."

"I-It's nothing. Just ate a little too much last night, that's all," Lucy replied, smiling nervously at her boss.

"Aw, you poor thing! Well, I know just the thing for making a big, bad, tummyache feel better!" Before Lucy knew what happened, Julia leaned down and planted a soft kiss in the middle of Lucy's stomach, directly over her navel. "There, there, Lucy's tummy; feel better...We can't have our favorite waitress feeling under the weather, now can we?" Lucy felt her face heat up almost immediately, but strangely enough, the moment Julia's lips made contact with her stomach, she did begin to feel a tad less bloated. "Feel better, darling?"

"Y-Yes, yes! I...I'd better get started!" Lucy hurried away from her boss, blushing furiously. All through the day, she could not get the memory to leave her head. Why did Julia kiss her stomach? And WHY did it feel so damned good to her?! Well, before she knew it, it was 2:30 in the afternoon, and it was time for her to go, and she could not leave that restaurant soon enough. As she served plate after plate, she began to grow hungry once again, so instead of going home, she went straight to the nearest burger joint and ordered two of their largest burgers, alongside a pile of fries and jumbo milkshake.

"...Why did I order this much? I'm not even THAT hungry..." Ignoring her words, she began to dig in to her big meal, savoring each bite and every flavor as it swam about her mouth. One burger down, and her clothes began to feel quite a bit tighter at the waist, but still, she continued eating. Half of her second burger remained, and Lucy finally began to feel full. She leaned back in her booth, and gave her bigger belly a soft massage before finishing the rest of her food. By the time her trey was empty, she felt absolutely miserable. She had never felt so stuffed in her life! Her back was against the booth, but even still, her belly just barely grazed the table. It was a wonder to her that the buttons hadn't popped right off of her shirt, although more and more of her belly could be seen as she gorged on. Her skirt button had been undone long ago, and her shirt now rested above her belly button. And once again, Lucy was reminded of her dream; the one where she continued eating, even though she was sure she felt fuller than she did right now, if that was possible. She remembered the dream, and how much excited her.

"...Why?! Why does that thought excite me?!" Lucy whispered to herself, clutching her huge, bloated belly.

"Oh, there you are, darling." Lucy froze. It was Julia's voice; her boss sat down directly across from her with a kind and loving smile on her beautiful face.
