Jessica nodded, slowly, before asking, “So why were you fired?”
“I just told you.”
“What? The food thing? They fired you over that?”
“Well, surprisingly, I was eating into the profits.”
“That’s inexcusable of them. I mean, criminal even!”
“You don’t need to get passionate about it…”
Jessica took Natalie by the hand. For whatever reason, her belly fluttered, her skin tingling on her skin as Jessica pulled her close, close enough to kiss her. “Don’t worry. You’re in safe hands.” Those lips were pretty soft, pursed ever so slightly. She had to restrain herself though. Had to hold herself back. Sure, this girl was a total cutie, but--
Oh, yeah, Natalie was bi.
That had been awkward in high school.
Jessica took Natalie behind the counter, surprisingly strong for a woman of her size. Her belly had been hidden by the counter before, but, now that she saw it, she was surprised by how bouncy it was. It was like a soft ball, or perhaps some teddy bear she wanted to cuddle with desperately. She longed to touch it, which--was odd. She tended to prefer thinner girls, but not this before.
Had getting a little pudgy affected how she saw other people?
