Kelri's Gain Part 56: Review

"The door is unlocked!" Kelri yelled to the knock at the door.

Connor stepped inside and brushed the rain from his hair. He shut the door and locked it tight. "I got a few different types. Glazed. Chocolate. A couple creme filled." He brushed the water from the top of the box onto the welcome mat. After kicking off his shoes and coat he plopped next to Kelri on the couch with the box of donuts on his lap.

Kelri rubbed her hands down her belly. A couple day's worth of calories sloshed inside her massive stomach. She looked at the box of donuts with ambivalence. On one hand it was food. But on the other hand it was more food for her already stuffed stomach. "I don't think I can fit more into my gut. I've eaten sooo much today. Big dinner too."

"Oh, and what's a few more donuts?" Connor peeled her shirt up over her belly. She let him with a smile. "You need all these calories to grow big and round." He opened the box, and set three donuts in a line on top of the shelf of her gut.

"Oh." Kelri relented and pokeed at one of the doughnuts. "I'm sure I can fit a few in, but no more. I really am very stuffed. Trust me though, they'll get eaten. If not tonight then tomorrow." She took a glazed donut from her stomach and shoved half of it in her mouth. The other two and a half followed right after. The additional food triggered a sickening fullness in her again. She grunted and suppressed the discomfort with a jiggle at the top of her stomach. She joked through the pain. "It may be awhile before I have room."

Connor gave the front of her belly a light slap of approval. "So how is your new promotion going?"

"It's going good. Need to fill empty slots. But I have something related to that to talk about. I talked to the Secret Advisor. He said he could trust me more now that I used everyone's help to get rid of Hugo. I don't know if I believe him really. But... He gave me access to - actually before I get into that; He told me his name was Pai."

"Isn't that an Asian name?" Connor pressed his hands into the side of her belly making it wobble.

Kelri accepted the jostling and opened the Cozca app on her phone. "It's apparently an Indian surname."

"Annnd what does that get us?" Connor scratched at his damp hair.

"Nowhere really. I don't even know if he's being truthful. That's not all we talked about today though. He says to learn more about him he'd want me to continue to be useful. He wants me to appoint people to positions that are either from Cozca or who might be sympathetic to them."

"So nepotism? Is there a secret handshake? A creepy passphrase? A uniform? Actually a belly centric uniform would be hot. But seriously, how are you supposed to do that exactly."

"With this." Kelri shook her phone. "That app they gave me? He said he gave me a higher access level with it. Now I have data about a lot of people in it. I already cross referenced applicants to see what their qualifications were."

"You're considering doing this? It's sketchy as all hell. Probably bad for the company too."

Kelri sighed as she scrapped frosting off the top of her stomach into her mouth with one finger. "I told him that I care about how qualified the candidates are. If I can find ones that fit both those requirements... I can't think of how that hurts anyone."

"I'm sure the people being passed over because they don't like bellies would have a problem with it. Also probably the government. Do we really want to do the bidding of some belly cult? Some creepy guy?"

"After seeing what data the have on me and a whole shit ton of other people? I think it might be best to appease them."

"What do you mean?"
