chapter 4 - dessert

Man oh man that is a serious slab of belly
She caught me looking, blushed and snatched her hands away, then placed her cardigan on her lap, partially covering her gut.

I recovered quickly and grabbed the dessert menu.

"So how about something sweet to finish off a great meal?" I said.

"I don't know, I probably shouldn't" Natalie responded, fiddling with her cardigan, trying to further cover her belly.

The hesitation and reticence was back, I needed to quash this quick!

"Don't worry about it, its on me. Anyway they've got cheesecake, I know how much you love that" I said

"That's not what I meant, it's not the money, it's my weig...... OH! Did you say cheese cake? Let me see that menu. OMG triple chocolate cheesecake, yes pleeeease!" Said Natalie, the excitement in her voice was palpable.

The waiter arrived and we made our order, ridiculous cheesecake for natalie and an espresso with a cannoli for me.

The waiter left and returned again within seconds with our order. Natalie was practically drooling at the cheesecake. As the waiter placed it on the table she shuffled her chair forwards, her cardigan falling off her lap, forgotten.

Natalie's spoon lashed out at the cake and then daintily scooped up a mouthful and popped it into her mouth. She closed her eyes and groaned in appreciation.

"Mmmmm this is delicious, I could eat it all day everyday" she said huskily.

Now it was my turn to blush.

"Well ok, maybe not everyday, I really should be watching my weig.....OMG is that cannoli?!" Natalie explained

She had spotted the teeny tiny cannoli that came with my espresso.

"Yeh it is, hazelnut flavour. Would you like to try it?" I asked

"Yes please" she replied primly

I slid the plate over to Natalie and without pausing she picked the cannoli up and the whole thing disappeared between her plump lips.

"That was really yummy! But not as good as this triple chocolate cheese cake" she said through a mouthful of cake.

Natalie began telling me about some issue that she was solving at work but again I zoned out.
She had just eaten my dessert and didn't seem to realise that she'd scoffed the whole thing. I didn't mind at all.
There had been some shuffling in the seat opposite me and Natalie was now sat back, belly out, with the plate of cheesecake lifted up to her face to make it easier to scrape the last few crumbs into her mouth.

Her gut was looking BIG and bulged out way further than her chest. I could now see the outline of her belly button showing quite clearly through her dress and a slight crease at the same point in her belly was forming or perhaps where her underwear was digging in.
I couldn't help trying to guess her weight in my head. But had no idea what she weighed. When we were together she had topped out at a pound or 2 over 17 stone, which at the time I was rather pleased with.
Now bloated and shovelling cheesecake into her face she looked bigger. Much much bigger.

She was still talking about how she'd solved the issue and got one over on a co-worker, whilst licking the cheesecake crusted spoon clean.

"and so that's how I got the promotion and option of a new company car" Natalie said, finishing off her story and the remnants of the cake.

We chatted further and time ticked away like it does when your enjoying yourself with someone.
Eventually my phone buzzed, it was a friend of mine reminding me to pick him up for another friends housewarming party that evening.

I'd already paid the bill, so we stood up to say our awkward goodbyes. Well I stood up, she heaved herself to her feet on the second attempt. I pretended not to see her struggling and instead fiddled with my jacket pockets looking for my car keys.

Out of the corner of my eye I could see her fail to escape the chair on her first attempt, then with both hands on the table she heaved herself up with an audible grunt. As she straighten up, her now rather full belly knocked over her empty glass which rolled across the table and wedged against my empty plate. She didn't seem to notice. Every part of her seemed to ripple and jiggle for a few seconds. Again I rummaged in my pockets to distract myself.

Natalie was looking around for something
"Have you seen my cardigan? I'm sure I had. It when we sat dow.. BWAAAARP!" A huge belch exploded from between those plump red lips. One hand shot to cover her mouth, the clutched at the side of her belly.

"Excuse me" she blushed.

"Just means you really did enjoy that meal, remember? It's a sign of appreciation and satisfaction" I said, enjoying the view of the aftershocks rippling across her body.

The cardigan was right there on the floor in front of her but was hidden by her big bloated gut. Now that I'd looked, I couldn't take my eyes of her. Her belly looked massive, bulging out far past her boobs and actually made them look small, even though they were quite sizeable.

"He her here let me get it for you" I stammered.

I plucked the cardigan off the floor from where it was hidden.

As I passed the cardigan to her our fingers touched. It was the first time I'd felt her touch in over 6 months.
It's corny to say it, but it was electric. From the look on her face she felt it too.

"Thanks" she mumbled taking the cardigan, then took a deep breath, bracing herself and incidentally causing her belly to briefly swell further.

"Dan I've really enjoyed seeing you and catching up, oh and that meal was sooooooo good. I'd enjoy it even more if we could go out sometime, maybe for a couple of drinks, or a film, or food or a bar or something ....." she trailed off.

I looked at her stood there embarrassed, flustered, stuffed, fat and hot. There was no was I was going to say no.

"I've enjoyed it too Nat. I'd love to go out for a drink sometime and maybe you can take me for a spin in that new Audi of yours when it arrives. Although not drinking and driving at the same time, obviously, duh!" Smooth again man, reeeeal smooth you idiot.

Natalie laughed in relief like I'd made he worlds funniest joke.

"Ok then, it's a date!" She said, then before I could react she darted in, well when I say darted I mean moved as fast as a stuffed, fat sexy lady can, giving me a quick hug. She leaned over, trying to keep her belly away from me which resulted in more chest than she probably had intended being squashed into me.

She turned and walked / waddled away giving me another amazing view of her blubber filled ass wobbling from side to side. She looked back once, waving to me, smiled, then was gone around the corner.

I stood there, smiling like a fool to myself with the most epic hard on of my life and nothing to do with it.
