I had met Steve on a dating app, which is something I would normally be against. I don't like looking for people on apps. I think they should come naturally into your life and not be wedged in there. But I am no better than anyone else; I am desperate. My last relationship, well, I was in love for sure, or at least I thought I was. He obviously didn't think the same thing as I did, which really hurt as I truly thought we were soulmates. But I believe that everything happens for a reason, so I had to move on. And that's when I met Steve. Honestly, looking at his photos, he was good-looking. Normally, I was into a really fit guy who liked to take care of themselves and look very presentable. Steve was not like this at all. He had a beard and definitely didn't have a six-pack like I was used to, more of a dad bod, I would call it. But something about him was so alluring, like I couldn't keep my eyes off him; it was weird. So I shot him a text, and surprisingly, he responded right away, asking to have me over for dinner tonight. It was already getting late, but I was excited as I thought this could actually be the one for me, and I had not had any action for a while. So I threw on the best thing I could find and ran out of the house. He actually lived quite close to me, only ten minutes away. When I first entered, he greeted me at the door like a gentleman; my ex should be taking notes right now. We moved into the kitchen where he already had dinner ready for us, and when I say this was a feast, well, it was a feast. I mean, there was enough food to feed a family of ten. I thought maybe more people were joining us for dinner, but he insisted that it was just us. As I watched Steve sit in his chair, I could see his belly jiggle up and down just from the motion of sitting down, and honestly, it was starting to turn me on a little.
"You like what you see?" Says Steve
"Yeah man, I don't normally go out with guys that are bigger, but you're a real treat man," I said.
"Haha, yeah, with your body, I'm surprised you'd go out with a guy like me." Said Steve.
I mean, I would say I'm one of the better-looking guys, but I didn't get blessed with this body in any way. I worked hard on how I looked, putting in lots of hours. We started to dig in, and I already started feeling full after the first few bites, which is weird because even though im a fit guy, I can still eat a ton. I looked up at Steve, who was almost done with his first plate.
"You know, I have to eat a lot for a guy like me. It takes a lot to keep this belly looking so good." Said Steve
"Yeah man, you really do pull it off, it's crazy how you do it," I said.
"Mhm, say what you would do if you looked like me? You know, with a big belly and beard, hard to breathe all of the time, constantly eating. Sounds pretty great, right?"
This caught me off guard a little bit. What does he mean by that? Sure, I do find him attractive, but I would never want to look like him. That sounds like a pain to live with. Besides, I don't want to be getting stared at by random people all of the time.
The rest of the night was a total blur to me after what he had said. I mean, he was nice, but what could he have meant by that? He wanted me to stay longer, too, and have some fun, but he just completely threw me off. I had to go home. When I arrived home, I went to take a shower but stopped to look in the mirror. Yeah, Steve was nice, but I would never want to look like him; it just seems unnecessary and kind of gross, to be honest. I stepped into the shower, the steaming hot water running down my six-pack. I got into bed looking at the ceiling, trying to fall asleep, but I couldn't. Eventually, I started to drift off.
My dream was super weird. I was a man with a family and three kids with my wife. Huh, wife, that's so weird. I like men, but I guess it is just a dream. I step, or I guess more of a waddle, into the bathroom and get a good look at myself. I was huge, and when I say huge, I mean it. I had a big hairy belly hanging out of my shirt and a huge beard; I looked like a bear. I knew this was a dream, though, because the guy in the mirror wasn't me, which was a relief. The mirror started to fade to black, and I was slowy awaken by the sound of birds chirping.
Waking up, I knew it was still dark out as no sunlight was coming in from my windows. Everything felt warm, but like a good type of warm, like a weighted blanket was put on top of me. I reached over to grab my phone, which was right next to me, but I found it harder than usual to turn over and grab it. I turned it off, and the time read 6:46. Yeah, it was definitely still early, but I have work at eight, so I should get up in a minute. I didn't want to get up, though everything felt so comfortable and warm in my bed. I scratch my beard. Wait. Beard, I don't have a beard. I keep myself nicely trimmed all of the time. I don't know where this beard could have come from. It was big and bushy too, which was not normal at all. I shrugged it off, though, as it had been a few days since I had shaved, and it must have just caught up to me. I sway my feet to the ground. They make a huge thump, one that even caught me off guard. I stood up and immediately fell back into the bed. I felt like something was weighing me down. I flipped the light on my bedside table on. And there, right in front of me, was a huge belly attached to me. My shirt had ripped off from all of the mass added to my body. I got up and rushed to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. There I was, a huge fat man. I had everything, a big bushy beard. A huge gapping belly. Love handles. I was the definition of a dad bod, but even bigger. I tried to unlock my phone, but my meaty fingers found it hard to do so. I saw a text from Steve pop up. "Having fun?" I looked at it with rage. He texted again, "Want to meet me for lunch today?" All of a sudden, all the anger inside of my dissaperarwd and filled with strangely hunger. My tummy rummbled, and I felt like it had answered for me because I ended up texting him back saying, "How about breakfast? I don't think I have it in me to wait till lunch." He sent a thumbs-up. Saying, "Look in the bag I left for you on your front door, there should be some clothes that fit you, daddy."
Daddy? If anything, I should be his daddy; he's almost a whole decade older than me. Again, I looked in the mirror. A once twenty-one-year-old looked like he was in his mid-forties.
No time for that, though this man needs some food in his belly. So I quickly grabbed the bag he left with clothes in it and opened it up for a set of clothes with the tags still on them reading triple XL. I shoved them on, still being a little tight, and left the house ready for my date, and breakfast...
