This choice: Linda comes home and tries some! • Go Back...Chapter #5Linda comes home and tries some! by: Unknown However, my thoughts were interrupted as the front door opened again, followed by the sound of rustling paper.
"I'm home!" Linda announced.
She walked into the kitchen carrying a grocery bag, setting it on the counter and sorting out its contents. She was a pretty slim girl with not much bounce, but nonetheless had nice blue eyes along with messy, short black hair.
"Hey, Linda, how was the store?"
"Eh, nothing new. Anything happen while I was gone?"
"Yeah, actually. We got chocolate."
"Chocolate?"
"Yeah, some lady came over and gave us a free sample."
"Huh, that's neat!" She replied as she walked into the dining room, meeting sight with the box. "Can I have some?"
I don't know why I didn't say no, to heed the fact that some stranger dropped off chocolate on our front step with no information about or even any hint as to what its ingredients were. But for whatever reason…
"Sure, go right ahead."
"Thanks!"
I left her to the chocolate and headed into the kitchen to sort out the rest of her groceries, but paused as she let out a "WOAH!"
"You alright in there?"
"Yeah, it's just…this is good!"
"Well, it contains 'damn good chocolate', as it says."
"I'll say! Mind getting the rest of the groceries for me?"
"Nah, I'm on it."
I went back to work and put the groceries away for her, ignorant to whatever she was doing in there. Once I was done, I headed back into the living room to watch TV.
I spent about five minutes alone in the living room. As I watched TV, it slowly dawned on me that not once since I'd left Linda alone that I didn't hear her move about at all, just standing in the dining room alone.
"Linda, you alright in there?"
"MM-HMM!!!" She exclaimed, as though her mouth was full.
"Alright, then…"
Another two minutes had passed, which to me felt longer as I kept a close ear on Linda. Sure enough, I didn't hear her take another step. Curious as to what was preoccupying her, I finally left the couch and headed back to the kitchen.
"You alright in there, honey?"
"Yeah, I just…mmf…I just said I was fine!"
"What're you doing in there?"
"Just having some chocolate!"
Sure enough, Linda was seated at the table and eating a chocolate bar, but to my surprise at least ten wrappers lay on the table.
"Geez…how much you'd eat?"
"Iunno…a few."
"Well, wanna watch the game with me in the living room?"
"Sure, be there in a sec…"
She lifted the box off the table and (with a bit more effort than usual) pushed herself from the chair. She walked into the kitchen with the box under her arm, but I had to take a second look at her as she stood tall.
Her clothes seemed a bit tighter than usual, but more so her stomach seemed a bit rounder and jutted out further. Her arms and legs had thickened out as well, and her breast and hips seemed somewhat more prominent. It looked as though she's gained several pounds (hell, if not several ten!) since I'd left her alone.
I thought I was just seeing things, but up close I noticed that she was taller, as well. She was always shorter than me by a few inches, but as of now we were equalized.
"You alight, sweetie?" She asked as she took another bite from a bar.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
