Life of a College Grad - Part 5

The days started to get cooler, which just gave Molly even more of a reason to cuddle up at home in a lazy haze. Picking at pantry staples, she watched as the world outside lost its leaves, started to turn gray, and the first snowfall of the year blanketed the ground. Winter was finally here, and that meant something big was right around the corner, Christmas. Something else big was coming too. Molly’s sister Roxy would be home for the holidays, as her school had a three week holiday break.

Despite being the younger of the two, Roxy had always been the bigger sister. While Molly had been paper thin all through her school years, Roxy had gotten chunky at an early age. After the year Molly had though, the gap had closed significantly, which Roxy was not shy to point out.

The younger sister arrived home a week before the big holiday. Molly wanted to be the one to greet her at the door. The first thing out of Roxy’s mouth was, “Wow sis, finally packed on some weight, huh?” It was crass, but so was her sister.

“Yeah I’ve gained a few since graduation, it’s only natural since I’m not go go go anymore.” Molly took the comment in stride.

“Hey I’m just happy it looks like I’ll have a snacking buddy this holiday break. Speaking of which, hopefully mom whipped up something nice for my return.” Roxy smacked her lips, as she brought her bags into the house.

“Actually she has.” Molly told her sister. “Some of your favorites, I can’t wait.”

“Spoken like a truly chubby sister.” Roxy teased as the two headed into the kitchen to check on the meal. Neither of them were disappointed, as their mom had put out quite the spread for Roxy’s return. With all the cooking she had been doing for Molly, she wanted to show her college dormed daughter what she was missing back at home.

The two sisters sat at the table eating together, catching up about life. “If mom’s been cooking like this, now wonder you’ve gotten so chubby.” Roxy said after finishing her first plate

“Yeah it’s almost impossible to stay thin living under this roof. I mean the food she makes is so good, it's impossible to say no to.” Molly confided.

“Now you know why I was pudgy from such an early age, I just got bitten by the bug much earlier than you.” Roxy proclaimed.

“As soon as I get a job and my own place, I’ll lose these extra pounds easily.” Molly boasted as she filled a second plate. Roxy chuckled. She knew losing weight was no easy task, she had tried when she first got to college. It was much easier to gain it than lose it. She wouldn’t put it past her sister though to lose some weight, she had always been stick thin. But still something about how Molly was acting told Roxy that this new version of her sister was here to stay.

This might have been Roxy’s first meal back home, but it was far from her last. The next morning their mother made them a nice full breakfast, with all the typical items accounted for. All week the two sisters indulged in large home cooked meals. Janice could not be happier, having double the daughters home meant she had double to dote on, which pleased her to no end. Also with Roxy home, Molly was going out less, which meant more daughter time for her than ever. The two sisters snacked the days away, Roxy pleased with this new side of Molly she was seeing. Roxy had gotten chubby at an early age because she couldn’t keep herself away from anything edible. Her sister had never shared this passion with her, which kept them not as close as they could have been, that is until now. Roxy loved that her sister wasn’t afraid to indulge these days, and gladly took advantage of the opportunity to enjoy the tastier things in life with her sister while she was home for a little bit. Starting and ending the days with a nice meal from their mom, they filled in the middle with anything else they could get their hands on. Chips, cookies, snack cakes, soda. They almost sort of encouraged each other to go even harder.

If Molly got up for ice cream, she’d grab Roxy a pint as well. If Roxy was heating up a bag of pizza bites, she made sure to do a bag for Molly too. Neither one wanted to be left behind, so they tried to go bite for bite with one another. In an escalating arms race, this left them both stuffed by the end of the day. The belly heavy sisters could be seen growing their largest asset the more time they spent together. Molly’s developing middle was showing itself off more and more with each passing day. She paid the growing ball of pudge no mind, and grabbed herself another cookie, as her sister had already finished a package.

A week into Roxy’s vacation, Christmas found itself only a day away. The sisters had taken to the living room after enjoying another large breakfast. Molly checked her phone to see she had missed a message from Dakota. It must have come in during breakfast, so Molly was understandably distracted. “Oh hey, my friend Dakota is coming over. She should be here any moment.” Molly informed her sister.

“Dakota?” Roxy thought about why she knew that name. “Yeah, friend of yours. She played field hockey in high school, right? Wasn’t she kinda chubby?”

“That’s right, I forgot she had played field hockey. Well I don’t think she’s that athletic anymore.” It wasn’t a moment later than Dakota barged into the room, having lumbered through the front door and kitchen at an unusual speed.

“So this is where my eating buddy has been.” Dakota accused, standing there in all of her plump glory, her breasts still jostling from her abrupt entrance. Dakota was looking noticeably thicker from her first encounter with Molly over the summer, and especially wider from what Roxy remembered from high school. The changes over the past six months were not as drastic as Molly’s, but still there was no denying she was rocking some extra padding.

“So this has been my sisters eating buddy while I’ve been away.” Roxy laughed, using the larger girl's words against her. Dakota also chuckled at this.

“Please tell me you brought donuts.” Molly asked, as showing up with donuts had sort of turned into a tradition for the two of them whenever getting together in the morning.

“You know I did, girl.” Dakota confirmed as she took a seat in the recliner. “Stashed ‘em in the kitchen. Go help yourself.” Molly huffed, having to get up from her comfortable spot on the couch.

“Roxy, how many do you want?” Molly called back to her sister as she didn’t stop once headed towards the kitchen. She didn’t bother to ask if her sister wanted any, just how many.

“Surprise me.” Roxy answered. Molly came back with a box of a dozen and placed it between them both.

“Figured this was an easier way to start.” Molly said, grabbing her first one.

Dakota eyed her friend's belly. “Looks like you two have been enjoying each other’s company this past week. Some of us have to work for a living, can’t just put our feet up all day.”

“Quit complaining, you’ve got three days off for Christmas.” Molly chuckled, grabbing another donut.

The girls gabbed while nibbling away on whatever morales they wanted. Dakota had planned to stay for Christmas eve dinner, while spending the actual holiday with her family. The three girls enjoyed a day of snacking, leading up to the big dinner that was to be made by Janice.

“The three of us are going to have to go out this weekend, get into some holiday shenanigans.” Dakota mentioned.

“What kinda wild stuff do you have in mind, Kota?” Roxy asked.

“Whatever it is, it normally begins and ends with something to eat.” Molly joked.

“I can’t say I’m surprised.” Roxy commented. “Kota, doesn’t look like you’ve picked up a field hockey stick in a while.”

The larger girl laughed at the comment. “I transitioned to goalkeeper in college, but then just fell out of the sport after a couple of years.” She then added. “I much prefer drum sticks these days.” Holding up a piece of fried chicken. This caused both sisters to laugh with her.

As the sun set for the day, the girls were finally called for dinner, the main event they had been waiting for. They all lumbered into the dinning room where they could see the table laid out with plenty of tasty dishes just ready to be dug into. The centerpiece being a big spiral ham that looked finger licking good. They filled their plates high with mashed potatoes and baked mac and cheese, each young co-ed going back for seconds and then thirds at the very least. They each ate until the table was clear and their bellies were bursting, none of them wanting to toss down their fork before one of the others. With such full bellies they all slept well that night.
