Chapter 1

36 year old Kyle Pastrnak was fast asleep in his bed when a voice could be heard “Guapo? Guapo...HEY ASSHOLE!” Kyle jolted awake and said “Huh who when where why???” The voice belonged to his 38 year old “esposa” Criselda or Cris for short. Cris was born in the Dominican Republic and stood about 5 foot 2 weighing just over 200 pounds. She was wearing glasses and had shoulder length brown hair. She had 36C breasts, thick arms, thick thighs and a round booty. Kyle stood about 5 foot 8 with graying blonde, balding hair and weighed about 230 pounds. He had a barrel chest and powerful arms but had a beer gut and thick thighs. Cris pointed her finger and said with her Dominican accent “I got the kids ready for school, made them breakfast and got them on the bus. Tomorrow I have a doctor's appointment so its your turn.” Cris was wearing a pink bathrobe that clung to her curves and she shook her head before walking into the bathroom. Kyle literally crawled out of bed onto the floor wearing navy blue boxer briefs as he said “Yes, yes, coming up.” Kyle coughed as he pulled himself up by the dresser only to slip and fall face first into his laundry hamper.

Kyle met Cris when he was 20 working for the local auto factory where his Uncle Remus was a foreman, Cris happened to be the daughter of one of his co-workers, Pascual. Within two years they were dating and with Pascual's blessing, married in a one of the weirdest weddings of all time. Kyle's parents were born in the Czech Republic who immigrated to the United States two years before he was born. Criselda was born in the United States but her entire family was from the Dominican Republic. Having a half Czech/half Dominican wedding was a story in itself but the bottom line was they were married and happy. The kids that Cris mentioned were 9 year old Jacob and 7 year old Naira. They had an agreement that the firstborn would be given a Czech name and the second would be given a Dominican name. They were going to flip a coin for the third name but they didn't end up having any more children. Early in their dating days Kyle had been given the name “Guapo” by Cris and he gave her the name “Bonita” in return. Unfortunately for both of them, youth doesn't last and now they were older and had kids to take care of. As Kyle wrestled with the hamper before pulling himself back up, Criselda walked back into their bedroom and asked “What are you doing? Get out of there!” Kyle popped up and said “I have to pee, move.” Kyle jogged to the bathroom with his beer gut flopping and Cris could only shake her head. Over the years they had both put on weight and Kyle didn't seem to mind, but Cris did. When they met Kyle was about 170 pounds and her about 120. Two kids and years of bad diet choices had them at the sizes they were. Cris walked in just as he was finished and he spun around to block her from getting to the sink. He said “Oh no you don't, gimmie kisses.” Cris rolled her eyes and they kissed softly as she said “You are so obnoxious.” He said “Awww babe, you stinx. Gotta brush your teefies babe.” Cris punched his arm and said “I was about to until you stopped me, move.” Kyle laughed as they both wet their toothbrushes and brushed their teeth together. Once they were done Kyle went to go put his pants on while Cris dropped her robe to reveal her pink bra and panty set. Her back rolls were nicely crammed into the back of her bra and her love handles shined in the morning light. Her thick, protruding belly hung over her panties and her thighs swished as she hurried to put her clothes on. Kyle watched her undress and admired how beautiful she looked but didn't say anything. He pulled his own jeans on and his DeBrusk Auto Factory shirt on which clung to his gut. She put on her plaid work blouse and skirt combination where her buttons looked ready to pop against her belly and the skirt was pressed against her big butt.

Cris looked into her full length mirror as Kyle once again admired how she looked without saying something. Kyle walked up to check his hair in the mirror as she grabbed her belly with a frown. Cris then grabbed his and said “How did we get so fat?” Kyle laughed and said “We got old, bonita, these things happen.” Cris shook her head and said “I don't know how you can laugh it off, you know the doctor said you need to lose 30 pounds and stop drinking so much beer. My doctor is pissed that I'm this big and wants me to lose weight too.” Kyle said “Yeah yeah, I know. Anything else?” Cris adjusted the best she could and said “Yeah, take out the trash. You were supposed to do it yesterday, cabron!” Cris put her shoes and socks on before she pulled Kyle in and kissed him with her hands on his face and said “Adios, guapo, te amo.” Kyle said “Miluje te, Criselda.”

Cris was a secretary at Johannes Vagner Skyscraper and had to drive into the city. The auto factory was a few miles south of their house so Kyle didn't have to rush so much. Cris took one last look at herself in the mirror in the kitchen, cursed at how round her face looked and walked out the door with her purse. Kyle slowly walked down the stairs, avoiding the toys that Naira left only to step on one of Jacob's legos. He hopped down the stairs on one foot saying “Dammit Jacob!” before retreating back upstairs to put his shoes and socks on. This time he picked up the kids toys while muttering to himself. He grabbed his keys, wallet and the phone before getting the trash out of the bin. On his way to work he thought about how great Cris looked in her underwear but he felt bad that she didn't like the way she looked. He didn't want to make her mad by calling attention to her body because he didn't want to face her wrath. Meanwhile in her car on the way to the city, Cris thought about how she wore her favorite color underwear that she thought Kyle loved but he said nothing. She fought the feeling that he wasn't attracted to her anymore but tried to talk herself out of it by saying they were just in a rush. The sad part was both of them were thinking the wrong thing about each other. The good thing was something would happen today that would set them both on the path to happiness.
