Life of a College Grad - Part 9

Of course she told Dakota all about her date the next day, who seemed more interested in the fried ravioli than anything, those were quite the hit. But she was also still very happy for her friend. A few days later Molly and Christian took in dinner and a movie, which was an equally good time. With a third date planned, they seemed like they were really on a roll. With dinners between dates with Dakota, her social calendar all of a sudden seemed quite full. Janice tried to overcompensate for never seeing her daughter at night with lavish breakfasts that Molly was happy to wake up to.

With Christian always happy to pay for dinner, Molly didn’t feel any sort of push to continue her job hunt, and had sort of completely forgotten about it. She was much too busy living life to worry about a job. Three dates turned into many more, and soon there was no way to deny they were a true couple. He even took her on a epic Valentine's day date, complete with a bevy of chocolate covered strawberries and some lingerie that he had picked out for her. Molly was head over heels for Christian and was all she could think about.

That was probably a good thing, because if she stopped to think for a minute about what all these dinner dates were doing to her waistline, she might have had second thoughts. Of course breakfasts with her mom and meals with Dakota weren’t helping either, but it was something about her dates with Christian that left her feeling even more full. With once waif girl turned chubby was now down right fat. With a large round belly, often packed with goodies, it was usually the first thing one saw if she was headed your way. Her now large melons rested on top of her midsection, obstructing some of her view. Her hips, thighs and rear had all thickened up to help support the extra weight.

When out to dine with Dakota you could swear they were almost twins. The exact same age, and pretty much the same size. But it was now Molly who was pushing Dakota into every extra bite. “I think it’s a two appetizer night tonight. Which two are you going to get?” “Oh Christian brought me here once, they have a lemon cake to die for, you have to get one, and one for me too!” Molly had gone from the apprentice to the master when it came to eating out, and she had the bod to show for it.

Madly deeply in love with Christian, Molly wanted to spend as much time with him as she could. They started to get together every night, sometimes going out, and other times staying in over at his place. One thing was always the same though, food. There was always plenty to eat when the two of them were together. Christian wasn’t much of a cook, but he did have every take out place on speed dial, plus kept his fridge and pantry full for anything his girlfriend might want.

“Hon, do you have any of those cheese balls that I like?” Molly asked, eating out of a carton of ice cream on Christian’s couch. The remnants from their take out dinner on the table next to her, while her pants button had come unclasped long ago, allowing her fleshy belly to roll into her lap.

“Of course babe. Let me go grab 'em for you. Want some more coke too?” Christian asked and Molly nodded. Molly never needed to lift a finger when she was at Christian’s house, well unless it was to her mouth.

With Molly spending nights with Christian, this left little time for Dakota outside of the weekend, which Molly liked to spend with Christian too since he didn’t have work then. Dakota was supportive of her relationship, but was missing her best friend. She brought it up one weekend while they were getting BBQ. Tearing the flesh off ribs, the meat and her fingers covered in sauce, Dakota broached the subject. “Girl, how come you don’t have time for me anymore? I know you and Christian are shacking up just about every night, but damn, you forget your roots?”

“I know, I’m sorry Dakota. It’s just, you know, different with him.” Molly apologized.

“I get it girl, don’t have to split your food 50/50.” Dakota laughed. “But really though, I know he treats you like a queen, but I just want to see my bestie, ya know?”

“Well I’ll tell you what. I know you get an hour for lunch, and Christian isn’t allowed to leave work during the day, so what do you say we do lunch everyday? There are a ton of good places near your office.” Molly could see Dakota smile. It was like she got to be the food sherpa once more, a role that felt lost the past couple of months.

So Molly was now starting her day with a big breakfast from her mom, then after a short nap taking a large lunch with Dakota. After a bit of a rest Christian would swing by and pick her up after he was out of work, usually bringing her back home in the morning only for the cycle to repeat. And as the days went on like this Molly only continued to grow. Her belly grew out further in front of her, usually hanging over whatever pants she was able to pull up to her waist. Her boobs grew fuller and started to fall off to the side they were so heavy. Even her face and arms grew fat. Her double chin was on constant display. Her bottom half grew wide, as her rear turned rounder and rounder. Her hips stretched to each side, making any pant or legging a chore to pull over them. Any clothes Molly had borrowed from Dakota she was quickly outgrowing, not that Christian seemed to mind.

Molly had long figured that Christian was into curvy girls, which is maybe why they never connected back in high school. She hadn’t fully admitted just how morbidly obese she was, which made it easier to keep packing on the pounds. Belly rubs told Molly that she had nothing to fear when it came to her weight, and their nights in the sack were even more proof.
