Kate and Jenny

Part 14

Jenny

I stepped out of the pastry shop and sighed. God, I miss it already! I sighed once again when I recalled I should go to the mall, to get some new clothes. I usually loved shopping, but given how overfilled my stomach was... the only thing I wanted to do right now was to go home and lie down to digest. I stretched and yawned. The very thought of the bed made me sleepy.

From all the food I ate during the plentiful breakfast and the generous snack, I was so full and bloated that I felt like a balloon. I probably look like one too. The shorts were cutting deeply into my distended midsection and the too small t-shirt still kept on riding up, leaving far too much of my skin uncovered. Across the street Angie just exited the gym and so I tried to suck in my stomach as much as I could. Fuck! There's barely any difference, I'm just too full. Getting slightly red with both embarrassment and effort I once again grabbed the hem of the shirt and pulled it down, hoping it would stay that way at least for a while. Angie crossed the street eyeing my abdomen suspiciously, surely noticing its thickened state, even though she didn't say anything on that matter.

"So, what would you like to do?" She asked.

"Can we go to the mall before anything else? I definitely need some new clothes. Then we could grab some lunch and make some further plans." I'll probably skip the food, but Angie will surely be famished after working out and walking through the stores... Maybe I'll have something little too.

Angie shrugged. "Sure, why not."

When we finally arrived at the restaurant I was breathless and absolutely starving. For hours I ran from store to store trying to find some fitting pants, only to leave empty handed each and every time. I was getting desperate when I saw a spark of hope. There it was, a newly opened plus size store waiting only for me to come inside. This must be my lucky day! Angie let out a frustrated sigh. She was carrying a bag with some new clothes that she bought, but it was clear she was getting more and more annoyed with how long it took me. "I'm so, so sorry." I said for at least fifth time today.

"It's fine... But if you won't find anything here, there's only one store remaining. You know? Like there's only the maternity wear remaining?" Angie said, stressing the word maternity. She pouted her lips, crossed her arms in front of her and raised her eyebrow.

"Stop suggesting I'm getting fat, you scrawny little blondie. You don't want to see this fatass mad." I said with a giggle.

She shrugged and slight smile crossed her lips. "Just sayin'..."

"It's not my fault that my ass is so much bigger than the rest of me." Although my gut seems to be close second today...

Angie remained silent.

"I'd have a large coke and the steak filled with blue cheese and bacon. With baked potatoes please. Oh, and one of those chocolate milkshakes."

"Small, large or medium?"

"Large, thanks."

"And for you miss?"

"I'll have shrimp salad and water, thanks."

Moments later the waiter came back with our drinks and Angie's milkshake. Did I say Angie's? The milkshake was mine of course. I started to chug down the milkshake. I was quite content chugging down my delicious milkshake, while I was dressed in stretchy and comfy new clothes, with bags of more stretchy and comfy clothes waiting under the table and with my bestie sitting across the table. The only thing missing for my absolute happiness was a plate full of food. To my disappointment just mere moments later was the glass empty. I raised my head and looked across the table. Angie was staring at me with eyes and mouth wide open.
