“Explode?!”
“I said could! Not will!” The nurse snapped, tension in the room running higher than ever.
The room continued to scurry with bodies, activity focused around the gargantuan mound of woman that formed its centerpiece. Trollies laden with equipment were hurriedly both into, and out of the exits. Pockets of commotion arose, and then died down, only to make way for others. The great, unrecognisable swellings of fat would occasionally wobble and ripple, before seemingly becoming somewhat still again. I tried several times to inch closer, away from the safety of the outer walls, but each time my wrist was firmly clamped by the anxious nurse.
There were a few climatic moments of creaking and heaving, some jostling and jiggling, and heightened panic from the crowd of support staff, but eventually stability seemed to reign over, and the room slowly emptied of urgent white coats and exhausted nurses’ smocks. In fact, everyone seemed exhausted, myself included, and no one more so than poor Matilda.
Yet another dangerously close call only highlighted just how near the huge feedee was to her limits. Whilst the plan had been for me to visit and then leave, senior staff decided it would be better if I stayed the night, and met with Matilda again the next day, to keep her spirits up. It was an offer I felt that I couldn’t refuse.
As another young nurse led me to the accommodation block through a maze of almost identical corridors, my mind puzzled at the thought of, potentially, having the world’s heaviest girlfriend. And, well, that nurse did say that Matilda liked me, right?
The accommodation was comfortable, but functional - the kind of room a student nurse or doctor most likely stayed in. The air was stale, but crisp and disinfected.
That night I barely slept. Since that first interview around one year ago, it seemed that my inner feeder had been awakened. Those brief moments sharing that part eaten flapjack had been on repeat, over and over again. I couldn’t put my finger on the exact forces in action, but just the thought of that already enormous body becoming even bigger, heavier and over-burdened had kept me restlessly awake for many more nights. I had to feed her again.
The morning was spent being given another impromptu tour of further areas of the sprawling facility, although I was carefully whisked past many doors that remained private. All the while, my mind kept flitting back to Matilda and her enormity. Heck, the only reason I was being given this tour was because they, whoever they were, wanted to keep up Matilda’s routine! Despite the warnings, despite yesterday, the department were still feeding her.
“Could I make it, y’know, more of a ‘date?’” I asked the nurse with timidity, as I was finally escorted to Matilda’s vast, warehouse-like room.
“A date?” She rattled, stopping dead in her tracks.
I almost backed down. “Well, maybe more like a picnic, or something. A few snacks, one of those check tablecloths from the canteen… uhm…”
The nurse, quite a heavy woman herself, frowned her glowing brow and adjusted her big, weighty bosom. My mind scrambled for backup, “…uhm… because, well, she said how much she liked her treats when I interviewed her last year, and, and… well, doesn’t she deserve a little treat after what happened yesterday?”
For a moment the nurse sucked thinly at the air, and then rolled her eyes, “Why can’t my husband do thoughtful things like this?”
“So, it’s… it’s okay?”
“Sure. Sure, it’s sweet. We’ll swing by the canteen on the way there. Not too much though, Matilda’s just been fed!”
A short while later I found myself standing on the familiar, suspended platform, trying to ignore the lofty height, and instead focusing on the modest selection of treats that I had obtained, wrapped in a small table cloth, reminiscent of a bindle. I waved to Matilda, and her smile grew between those big, over-indulged cheeks as my platform made its way down to a more friendly height.
Once stationary, I knelt down and then unfurled the tablecloth, draping it over the edge of the platform, the furthest corner of it resting on the exquisitely soft flesh of her fattened chest. It perhaps wasn’t the romantic picnic scene many would imagine, but it was at least an attempt.
“What’s… this?” Matilda husked.
“A picnic,” I stated, before realising how ridiculous that sounded, “well, kinda. Look, I… I like you Matilda, and I just thought you deserved something a bit special, maybe like a little date? Just us two - well, in close range, anyway…”
Matilda smiled, and nodded as best as her sunken skull would allow. I held up the flapjack bar and grinned.
“From our first da…” I stopped myself, “…from the interview, you remember right?”
Her eyes widened and she swallowed hard, still nodding. I then held up a small bag of filled doughnuts oozing with cream, and then a dense, icing-laden cupcake. There were also eclairs, millionaires shortbread, and a few large cookies, generously coated in chocolate chips.
“Which would you like first?” I ventured.
“The… flap… jack,” she gasped, “… but please… only a… bite… I’m full.
She sounded full, both in her voice, and from the gentle heaving and creaking sounds her body seemed to emit, interspersed by gurgles and rumbles of industrious digestion.
No sooner had I unwrapped the flapjack and offered it up to the greedy girl, than she took a bite, and then another. My heart raced faster as she hungrily chewed and smacked with steadily increasing indulgent pleasure.
As she swallowed, I held the remainder of the flapjack bar up and smiled, dutifully trying to override my own desires and, in turn, respect her wishes. “Well, it wasn’t much, but it was a nice treat I bet?”
“… More…” Matilda breathed.
“More?! But you said…”
“Please… just a little…”
She took a bite, and then another, and then devoured the last piece, her eyes rolling back with each eagre mouthful.
“… So… full…” she whispered airlessly.
“Well, we can leave the rest and, well, talk about things and…”
“… More… Please…”
Much like the monster that was Matilda’s inner greed, I also couldn’t say no to assisting this gorgeous girl into excessive over-indulgence. So big - too big by far - and yet even at this incredulous size and weight, she just could not say no. She was perilously full, even by her own standards, but whatever was inside her kept on pushing for more.
“… More…” Matilda begged, helplessly.
First a doughnut, and then another.
“You… can’t beat… a real… doughnut!” She munched.
My plan had been to talk a little more - indeed, those treats had been for both of us - but with each snack heartily consumed, she was almost immediately expecting the next.
“…More…”
“…More…”
“…More…”
