That's show business, baby!

Chapter 3

"We want you to really get into character and show off your curves. You'll be rubbing your stomach as it grows and expands, and our sound effect team will be providing a wet, sloshing audio effect to really get the audience going." The director would go on to explain as Cherry picked her desired outfit for the shoot.

Cherry nods, feeling a little self-conscious but trying to keep a leveled head at the same time as the curvy redhead started to try on the outfits, feeling them hug her curves in all the right places and the thought of looking as good as the popular pornstar Mio flows through her mind like a warm wave coursing through her body heating up her blushing face. Imagining herself as the talented Asian woman, Cherry imagined herself as Mio, standing in front of the nearby full body mirror and modeling the outfit, consisting of a skimpy halter top made of sheer fabric that would barely cover a very engorged set of milky breasts. The tight, low-rise denim shorts hugging into a ripe and swollen watermelon of a beautiful belly, showing off such seductively enticing roundness. And a pair of heeled sandals that would accentuate such bloated feet and ankles.

While Cherry was by no means lacking in sexy curves as her sizable breasts and wide hips do the clothes justice respectfully, something about missing a large round belly to complete the desired look made Cherry feel somewhat guilty she was wearing a fetish pornstar's outfit, like a not so big, and barely fat phony. Still As she rubs her stomach, she can feel herself getting more and more excited, adding an extra layer of eroticism to the experience as enough to justify her feeling out of place, if only just a little bit. As the other roles of the movies were promptly assigned afterwards and the audition came to a close, the director smiles warmly at Cherry, making sure to catch her at the front door before she went home.

"Just wanted to say good job again. I can already tell that you're going to be perfect for the role. And who knows? If you play your cards right…maybe you'll just become the new race, or should I say, belly, of the business," he says, giving her flat middle and playful rub and light tickling smack before handing her a business card with the time and location for the first official shoot as she smiles wide.

With all this preparation taking place and now an official date to finally start, Cherry was so over the moon those hardening nipples might as well have been the nose cone of the rocket. Sure, she's not the slightest clue what kind of journey she's signed up for, but too much of her was anticipating to find out. As she makes her long drive home, any sense of sleepiness far from the equation as she can feel her body humming with electricity as things are about to get wild.

The next day, Cherry arrives bright and early on a Saturday morning at the hillside penthouse location for the shoot as directed, her eyes dazzling as she feels like she's in a dream, as though she's crossed some kind of forbidden line into the world of the erotic and taboo and was leaving her mundane and lifeless life as a boring cafe barista far, far behind now. Just stepping through the front door, she can feel herself growing more and more excited as the time for filming draws near. As the bubbly eager redhead wanders aimlessly into the makeup room, she's greeted by a team of makeup artists and wardrobe stylists. One of them immediately recognizes her iconic cute-as-a-button charisma from yesterday and promptly hands her a garment bag, telling her that this will be her outfit for the first scene.

"Here, try this on," she says with a smile as Cherry greedily opens the bag to reveal a tight, white dress, soon undressing, feeling both self-conscious and aroused as she gazes at herself in the mirror. She slides the dress over her curves, noticing how it hugs her body in all the right places.

As she steps out of the dressing room, the director approaches her, catching her like a sly fox in waiting beside the door and flashing her with a charisma rich smile.

"Ah, I see that I am right on time. Good, you got the dress, perfect! And with that, we're going to need you to wear this for this scene I'm itching to get done with the early morning sun looking so captivating," he says, showing her a prosthetic plastic belly, straight from the special effects team and made with love to mold around Cherry's frame.

Cherry's eyes widened as she took the device from him, feeling its weight, feeling a flush of excitement in her cheeks as she listened to the man continue his explanation with a wider, cheekier grin.

"This is going to make the whole scene come to life. It's a special effects device, designed to inflate under your clothes to simulate the growth of your... well, your alien baby. We need to make sure it fits comfortably, so go ahead and try it on."

Cherry nods, feeling her heart beating loudly, almost bursting out of her chest as she starts to put the device on. As she slips it into place with an audible click on the back, she can already feel the weight and pressure of the device against her stomach, so much so even the thought of it inflating to full gravid simulating size is almost too much to bear.

"Okay, now we're going to activate it and record the effect," the director says, his eyes gleaming with glee holding up the small handheld remote that comes with it. "You wouldn't mind if we tested it right now?"

Despite the heaviness from her new center of gravity weighing down on her already, the anticipation of doing something so lewd sounding for the film sounded too much to pass up on.

"Mm, fill me up Mr. Director~" Cherry would say, trying to sound as sexy as possible with the fake belly strapped onto her, even placing one hand against the small of her back and the other on top of her belly as she arches her back to make her belly look bigger in the process as he starts the inflation process.

As the vacuum-like humming inflation noise of the device fills with air, she can feel her own stomach roll and shift in response hearing the complimentary gift from the audio and specific effects team adding wet, sloshing sound effects to the machine, making everything feel even 10x more intense and erotic than before. As the inflation completes, the prosthetic fake belly now doubled, if not triple its previous dimensions looking quite ripe in round. Perfectly simulating the fullness and maternal aura of a full sized prize winning watermelon belly underneath the dress as the fabric became tight around the taut sphere, easily highlighting the dome like curve entirely in all its beauty attached to one perky and bubbly as Cherry, feeling a sense of satisfaction and arousal from such a feat.

"So…? How does it feel?"

"Ooooh…~ Mama likes, she like it a lot~"

Cherry's voice, sounding low and husky in those words as she spoke while caressing this new belly, leaving the director to mentally wonder if she was just getting in character or not. Either way, Cherry was on board with the belly, and there was lots of fun to be had. Later, as the film crew starts to set up for the scene Cherry couldn't help but feel a little buzzed from the experience of wearing the bow fully inflated fake belly, the wet sloshing sound effects still ringing in her ears. As she watches the other actors getting their makeup done, she can feel a sense of electricity building inside her. She's no longer just an observer on the sidelines - she's a part of the action now. The first scene went off without a hitch, a simple introduction to Cherry's character being with an alien creature only after a single month of pregnancy…

"Wait, only one month!? But this belly already is as heavy as having a bowling ball under my dress, just how big is it gonna get?" Cherry asked one of the camera guys after her personal close-up shot was done.

"I heard a rumor that the director asked the writers to add more pregnancy scenes since yesterday, you must have made one hell of an audition for that to happen, great job." one of them explained as he was setting up the lighting for the next scene.

"Oh right, my audition, the script I read was just a rough draft, I remember. Makes me wonder what other kinky things the writers are willing to add,"

"Who knows? That's show business for ya."

"Yep, that's show business, baby." Cherry would say back, even shooting some finger guns in his direction to sound like she knew some of the on-set lingo.

"Yeah, you get it. See ya in the next scene."

As the camera crew moved their equipment to the next room Cherry had every intention to follow after them, even wanting to practice her pregnant hips swaying waddle to make her movement look more realistic and sexy for a before-mentioned walking scene, when just then the special effects team quickly approached her like a swarm of paparazzi wanting to get her attention before the amateur actress could slip away in time. As the film was now done with the first few narrative establishing scenes, the team wanted their inflatable belly back, and upon hearing that Cherry can't help but feel a strong pang of disappointment sit in the pit of her actual stomach, instinctively putting her hands on the protruding orb.

"Can I... can I keep it on for a little while longer?" she asks, her voice small and mouse-like, clearly not wanting to give the belly back yet due to how much she quickly got used to it and how good it made her feel wearing it in front of everyone on set. "....Please?"

The special effects team would look at her, with eyes a bit surprised but not unkind.

"Sure, if you want. We don't have to deflate it quite yet. Just be careful, it's heavy," they warned her all the same, but no words made Cherry happier at that very moment, feeling an erotic thrill as she continued to wear the inflatable belly around.

Feeling its weight against her skin and making sure everyone got a good look at her prized middle, waddling slowly in a circle from the heft of the device before turning to face the team again, a heated blushing expression now stretched across her face as a downright naughty thought hatched in her mind.

"Oh... um, could you? Um, can you inflate it again? Just a little bit?" she asks innocently, hoping that they won't be too weirded out by such a request straight out of the blue.

A few members of the special effects team would give a stifled giggle in good nature and be happy to oblige her personal request to really put their creation to the test, seeing how much she wasn't just enthusiastic about wearing it, it was becoming such a turn on for her. Just where did they find this girl? And where could they get more of her!?

"Sure thing. Just give us a minute," they say, heading off to grab the necessary equipment, as the inflatable belly would start to fill with air again now looking like she was about to deliver a healthy and heavy set of quadruplets at any moment!

Cherry feels like she's in some kind of erotic trance, way above cloud 9, 10, and 11! She loves the sensation of the weight and pressure against her skin, the wet sound effects adding an extra layer of arousal. Standing there in the middle of the chaos of an active filming set, she felt like the big bellied bell of the ball, the ideal perfect actress this movie deserved. And as the filming continued as scheduled, Cherry can't help but feel like she's in the middle of some kind of forbidden fantasy. She doesn't know what the future holds, but she knows that she's hooked on the sensation of the inflatable belly. Things are only getting started, and she's ready for anything.
