"So whatcha gonna get?"
"Oh, just a salad. I'm dieting."
"Again??" Sue asked.
"Yeah, " sighed Karen. "I'm trying to get the attention of this guy who
just moved in across the hall from me a couple of weeks ago. He is really
something," she grinned, rolling her bright green eyes up at the ceiling.
Karen was an incredibly attractive woman. Stunning in fact, with a lovely
fair complexion to match those sensational green eyes. Her lush rust
colored hair cascaded around her oval face highlighting it perfectly.
That cute slightly upturned nose, the high cheekbones, and those soft
moist lips should turn any man's head. And she had a figure most women
would kill for, though she constantly had to watch her weight. On her
5'4" frame just a few extra pounds would quickly show up in her tummy and
hips.
"If he does not notice you now, Karen, he NEVER will!" Sue smiled. "You
look incredible!"
Karen smiled back at her friend. "Thanks, Sue, but this guy won't give me
the time of day. Maybe you know him. I think he works in your building.
His name is Frank Allison."
With those words Sue began to giggle. "Frank Allison? Yeah. He works
right across the hall. He is a terrific guy, alright! And a real dream.
I'd go after him myself, except that my boyfriend might object. But,
honey... if you want to attract Frank Allison, you are going about it all
wrong!!"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean Frank Allison only goes for big girls, Karen!"
"You mean busty?" Karen quizzed. "I'm not exactly flat chested here, you
know."
"No, no. I mean big. You know. Heavy. Fat. That's his thing."
"Fat??? Really??? You mean he is only interested in fat women?"
"Yep."
"How fat?"
"Well, I don't think I've ever seen him with anyone under at least 170 or
180. Some of his dates had to be well over 250!"
Karen was amazed!! "I didn't think any men actually preferred fat girls."
"Oh, my, yes!" Sue laughed. "Have you been living under a rock, dear?
There are a lot of men out there who like a little meat on their women.
And Frank is one of them."
"Well, no wonder he hasn't noticed me," Karen mused. "What should I do?"
"If you want my opinion, Karen... I'd put on a few pounds and see if he
takes the bait. If not you can always diet then. But from what I hear...
he is worth the effort!"
"Really? You said if you weren't with Roger you would go after him
yourself. But you're not heavy."
"Well... for a guy like Frank I'd pack away a few extra burgers. I'm
telling you he is worth it... if you know what I mean!"
The two women giggled as the waiter finally came to take their order.
"What will you have, miss?"
"Just a tuna melt and a side salad with water to drink for me," said Sue.
Karen took a deep breath and said, "I'll have the double cheeseburger with
fries and a chocolate milk shake."
"Whoa," laughed Sue. "What happened to that diet??"
"Well, I thought maybe I'd test your theory. Besides... I'm sick of
dieting!!! I haven't had a milkshake in YEARS! I didn't dare! We'll
just see if a couple of extra pounds will get this ole boy's attention. "
She leaned forward, her green eyes twinkling, "Anyway, it sure will be
fun to find out!"

After stuffing herself with such a huge lunch Karen felt a little
decedent, but that milk shake was absolute heaven! She had forgotten how
wonderful they were. At work that afternoon she started thinking about
some of the other goodies she had denied herself for a long time because
of her constant struggle to stay thin. For example, she used to love to
bake when she was living at home, but now that she was on her own she
didn't dare bake a cake or pie because there would be no one but her to
ingest all those calories. Oh, but how she loved German Chocolate Cake
and Cheesecake, and <sigh> brownies!!! At least, she used to love them.
Now those tastes were just a long ago memory.
Well, maybe this was the time to go ahead and splurge a little. She could
enjoy the goodies and let herself put on maybe 10 or 12 pounds and get
Frank's attention. She would forget about her perpetual diet and just
have a little fun for a change!!
On her way home she stopped by the supermarket and stocked up on all those
things she never had dared to buy before. Pie filling, cake and brownie
mixes, candied yams, and... of course... all the fixins for chocolate chip
cookies. When she got home she fixed herself a huge supper, a steak
complete with home made mashed potatos and gravy! She even had seconds on
the potatos! (She was so bad, she thought, and giggled.) Then she began
to bake a cake. Good thing it was Friday, she thought! She would have
the whole weekend to finish it.
Little did she dream that the long forgotten flavors and aromas would make
her so ravenous for the cake that she would devour it three pieces at a
time. By Saturday noon there was no more cake. But there were pies to be
made ... and brownies ... and cookies... and ice cream in the fridge.
She spent that whole weekend, and the next two weeks just baking and
feasting and having the time of her life. Instead of the rumbling of a
hungry tummy which she had learned to endure all those years, now she kept
it blissfully full. Instead of dull bland tasting foods, now she was
savoring mouthful after mouthful of rich, delicious, heavenly tasting
goodies. And her previously starved body responded to the new diet almost
immediately. She began putting on weight that very first night. She
could tell her clothes were getting tighter by the start of that second
week, and by that second weekend she had gained 12 pounds. It was time
for the test, Karen thought... and she made her plans to get Frank's
attention.
She went to her closet and found her smallest pair of shorts. They were
white and were really a size too small when she bought them. Now she
wriggled into them and just barely got them on over her hips. She even
had to lie down on her bed and suck her tummy in as far as it would go to
get the zipper up. then she found a snug halter top, put on a hair band
and examined herself in the full length mirror.
She was absolutely stuffed into those clothes. In fact, she could barely
breathe. Her midriff bulged out over the tops of the shorts... and the
halter top strained a bit to keep her in. The shorts were so snug around
the hips that it was almost awkward to walk. Well, Karen thought, if
Frank really DOES like fat girls, this should get him going! Now how to
approach him. She needed an excuse to go over there and knock on his
door. She looked around and spied her 2 cup measure. She had her opening.
----------
Knock, knock.
Frank opened then door, slowly at first, then when he spied Karen he
opened it wide. He was wrapped in a mid thigh length light blue robe.
Oh, MY!
"Hi," she stammered. GOD, he was SO CUTE!!! "Ummmm, I'm Karen. I live
just across the hall here. I was um doing some baking and I ran out of
sugar. I was wondering if you could loan me a couple of cups."
Frank looked her over quickly, and his eyes obviously paused at her
bulging midriff.
"Ohhh, sure!! Sure. Come on in," he beamed.
Karen smiled and stepped into his apartment. It was charming, complete
with a portable hot tub right there in a corner of the living room. Then
she saw her. Sitting there on the sofa was a very plump brunette in a
bathing suit. No... she was not plump... she was fat, actually. Yet,
very attractive. They had obviously been preparing to enter the hot tub
when Karen had knocked on the door.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I've come at a bad time," she said as she turned to
leave. "I'll come back later."
"Oh, no. It's fine. Really," he smiled. Karen smiled. The brunette did
not smile. "Right this way."
Karen followed him into the kitchen and they chatted as he filled up her
measuring cup to the brim with sugar.
"I really appreciate this," she said sweetly. "I have been on this baking
spree and I was going to make some chocolate chip cookies, but I used up
the last of my sugar on a cherry pie last night. I'd run to the store,
but my car's in the shop and it's such a hassle to use the bus."
"Oh, that's ok. Happy to do it." Frank grinned. "Why all the baking? Do
you have kids?"
"Oh, no. I live alone. No kids. I've just been on a binge, I guess. My
sweet tooth has been getting the best of me lately, and I forgot to buy
sugar."
"Hmmm. A pie last night, and now chocolate chip cookies... all just for
yourself. You better watch it! You'll get fat that way," he said,
poking her bulging tummy with his finger.
GOD! That felt good!!! Karen blushed immediately.
"Yes, isn't it terrible!!! " she giggled. "I'm already growing out of
some of my clothes. I know I'm gonna have to get back in control, but I
just don't seem to have any will power right now. What's a girl to do?"
"Just enjoy yourself, Karen," Frank laughed, "You could stand to gain
some weight anyway!"
Oh WOW, was Sue ever right! This guy really DOES like those big women.
She blushed again.
"Why thank you, sir," she smiled and did a mock curtsey Well, I'd better
get out of your hair. Thanks again for the sugar."
"Anytime, Karen. Can't let a growing girl starve, can we??!!"
She closed the door to her apartment and placed the cup of sugar on the
table beside the bag of Domino's she had bought the night before. This
guy was so HOT! And now, so was she!!! MERCY!! But while she sat there
in her apartment -- alone -- Frank was over there in the hot tub with the
fat brunette! There was just one thing to do!!
"Where are those toll house chips?????"
