chapter 7

As the days past by Riley only got lazier and lazier, she had completely stopped getting dressed and would only wear an oversized silk bathrobe when she answered the door to get her food from the delivery guy. She was now just sleeping on the huge corner sofa every night and had even started taking baths because she couldn’t be bothered standing in the shower, and also she could eat in the bath.

Riley had now reached one month staying in LA and the amount of food she was eating had really increased, she could now finish a large pizza and side from dominos and still stuff her face with some sort of dessert after, so she had started ordering even more food for dinner as she liked to have left overs for the next day. The fact of the matter was that being in this big house all by herself, there really wasn’t a whole lot to do other than eat and relax, so that’s what she did, a whole lot of eating and relaxing.

It was Friday October 1st which meant Amy would be arriving from Miami later tonight, Riley was so excited to see her but she knew she wouldn’t be able to indulge quite as much with her around, Amy would be arriving around 8pm so Riley thought she should stuff herself silly before she gets here since she will be restricting herself when Amy arrives.

Riley ordered her usual breakfast, only this time she order two portions of the pancakes along with the milkshake. She had been finishing one portion without really being that full but she still thought that multiplying that amount by two might be a stretch, but to her surprise she ate every bite, now she just had the Oreo milkshake to drink. Riley left the milkshake till last because she knew she could she could finish it no matter how full she was, and she was right, she put the straw to her lips and as soon as the sweet flavour hit her she gulped until it was gone. She put the empty cup on the table and drifted off into a sleep as she watched tv.

Riley awoke to see that the time was 4.46pm, “shit, I’ve slept for nearly 5 hours, I haven’t even had lunch”, Riley had planned to eat lunch earlier so that she wouldn’t be so bloated by the time Amy got here and she could order dinner with her.

“Fuck it, I gotta eat now”, Riley said aloud to the empty room. She looked on Uber eats and Wendy’s was the first place that popped up. “Wendy’s it is”, she looked through the menu and saw the 4 for 4, the 4 for 4 meant you got a cheeseburger, fries, 4 nuggets and a drink for $4. Riley decided to order 3.

While she waited she went through to the kitchen and opened up the pizza box from last nights dinner, there was only one slice left that had a bite out of it but it was better than nothing. She ate the big slice like it was nothing and went back to sit on the sofa.

It was 5.30 before Riley’s food arrived, she had certainly slept off her huge breakfast and that slice off pizza had only just managed to hold her at bay while she waited on her real food coming. She set out her feast on the coffee table and just admired the view, 3 cheeseburgers, 3 portions of fries, 12 nuggets and 3 cups of coke, but there was something missing, Riley got up and went into the freezer, she picked up a pint of Ben and Jerry’s blondie brownie, the one with the caramel centre, “just what I’ll be needing after”.

Riley started with the fries, drowning each one in sauce before she brought them to her mouth. Riley liked to leave the best till last when she ate food, so in this case, she cleared out the fries and then moved onto the burgers. After finishing the 2nd burger Riley began to pace herself a little, her belly was filling up quickly but she didn’t want to stop, she kept going until the burgers were gone, now for her favourite part ,the nuggets. She was in no rush with the nuggets, just really enjoying all the flavours, she would dip one in bbq sauce, then sweet chilli, then back to bbq and so on. She only drank two of the coke's but by the time she was finished she felt like she was about to pop.

Riley realised that she hadn’t washed today and thought it would be nice if she went and enjoyed her ice cream in a nice hot bath. With great effort she hoisted herself up of the couch and went to run the bath.

Eating ice cream in the bath was really something Riley had begun to love, there was just something relaxing about the hot water on her skin and the cold sweet ice cream in her mouth. Being in the bath also seemed to soothe her stuffed belly, which was needed now more than ever because this was easily the most stuffed Riley had ever been.

After her bath Riley was about to get dressed for Amy coming but she couldn’t help but noticed how big her belly was, she had really stretched it to the limits. Riley planned to lie to Amy and tell her she hadn’t eaten since breakfast so they should order some food, but it would certainly raise some questions if Riley was sitting there looking like a stuffed pig and then wanting to eat even more.

She had a look through her wardrobe to find something that would cover her up, “perfect”, she found her pyjama hoodie, it was like one of those huge oversized ones that went right past the knees, that would hide her food baby until she slept it off tonight.

“8.15, you’re late”, Riley said.

“Shut up idiot, I said around 8”, replied Amy jokingly.

“Missed you chica”, said Riley as the two girls hugged.

“What’s with the giant hoody, LA too cold for you?”

“I have the AC on pretty high”, laughed Riley.

“It is pretty cool in here actually”, replied Amy as she stepped in the door.

“Come on let me show you around”

After Riley gave the grand tour the two girls got settled down on the sofa. “This place really is insane, I can’t believe you are living here”, said Amy.

“I know it’s literally paradise, you wanna order some food by the way, you must be hungry after all the travelling and I haven’t eaten since breakfast”, lied Riley.

“Yes please, let’s get a Pizza Hut or something to share since I’m technically on holiday”, Amy suggested.

“Sounds good to me”, Riley replied.

The girls order a large stuffed crust pepperoni with a side of chicken tenders, something that Riley could now normally finish on her own. At least Riley was still pretty full from her late lunch so sharing should be okay.

When the food arrived Riley told herself that she wouldn’t eat over half of the pizza and no more than half of the chicken tenders. As the girls started eating Riley ate her half of the chicken tenders first, then she moved onto the pizza. She paced herself and tried not to look like a pig but by the time she was finished her half of the food, Amy was only just finishing her 3rd slice and hadn’t even touched the chicken tenders.

“That will do me, I’m way too full those pizza slices are huge, how have got managed to eat 4 slices plus chicken tenders”, asked Amy.

“I had a tiny breakfast and haven’t ate all day, I must have just been super hungry”, Riley replied.

“Well I’m gonna go to bed anyways Riley, I’m tired as fuck”

“No problem Amy I’ll see you in the morning, goodnight”

“Goodnight Riley”

Has she gained weight, Amy thought as she lay in bed, her cheeks looked a little fuller and she did feel a bit softer when we hugged, maybe that was just the big hoodie tho, but her calves did look chunkier.. nah I must be losing my mind there’s no way that Riley Montana has gained weight.

Riley thought it would be a waste not to eat Amy’s leftovers, she waited till Amy was gone five minutes and then ate the final slice and finished off the tenders. Riley still felt like she missing something so she grabbed a big bar a chocolate out the cupboard along with a bag of double chocolate cookies. She took her treats back to her bedroom, where she would be sleeping again since she couldn't exactly be sleeping naked sleeping on the couch with Amy here, and stuffed her greedy face.
