205.
The number sat as heavily in Matt’s mind as the extra weight sat on his almost ghetto-booty shaped rear. 
After getting 20lbs from Melody and a further 20lbs from Jenn, he’d tapped out for the rest of the week. The transfer from Jenn may have been less surprising, having had one already, but the odd flashes still surprised him. Jenn, fit in college, finding work, her mom warning her about her genes, the day her metabolism took a dive, the transition from fit to curvy to chubby to fat. 
Matt tucked into another donut. These things were dangerous. Though he was proud of himself, despite the added adipose and the odd stress eating and the feeling of lethargy, he’d worked out at home every evening. Working up a good sweat as he made his way through calisthenics. Just because he looked like an androgynous man with a fat ass didn’t mean he had to act like one. 
When he got to the office, Melody happily swapped back. Matt felt himself lighten a bit. Melody, kind as she was, looked disappointed with his eagerness as her own figure went back to straining her business suit. 
The softness on his chest disappeared…mostly. All he had left now was the fortunately smaller amount of ass and belly fat to give back to Jenn. Who was nowhere to be found…
“Oh, yeah she took today off. Had some errands to run or something.” Cindy said as she worked on a bearclaw after Matt had asked about HR’s strange disappearance. 
“Great…I’m still holding for her and…yeah, Samantha wants to do a transfer as well.” 
While feeling lighter at 185, Matt still didn’t relish the jiggling plumpness in his thighs. 
“Just give it back to her next week.” Cindy said as she licked sugar off her fingers.
“Yeah I guess…” Matt looked at the redheaded office assistant. “I notice you’re not queuing up for a transfer.”
“Hmm? Why would I?” Cindy answered.
“Well…” Matt searched for a way to delicately point out her still small but chubby belly. “Never-mind.”
“Matt!! Oh! Em! Gee! I’m so excited!!” Samantha burst into the breakroom Matt and Cindy had been occupying. 
Matt checked the time; 5 minutes until COB. Samantha plopped heavily into a seat right next to them.
“Ugh, so ready for this. I have a dress that I have been DYING to wear and Jake has this big party at his house this weekend and it’s, get this, catered by Vespucci’s! Like I totally can’t wait. I have been sooooo excited for this!”
“Vespucci’s…is that?”
“Oh it’s good. Best Italian pizzeria in town.” Cindy replied, a strange glint in her eye.
“Not only that, they have THE best wines, the best pasta, ugh. Drop me off there and I’ll never be able to leave.” Samantha practically salivated. “So! Let’s do this!” 
The queue popped up on Matt’s phone; 25 from Samantha? Oh boy, she wasn’t afraid to max out the transfer. A flash, a brief glimpse, a college experience filled with parties, heavy beer, sugary mixed drinks, salty foods, weed, the gradual thickening of the middle, then the heaving orb that refused to be filled or fit in non maternity pants. 
210, the number flashed on his app. He felt it. The softness had returned to his chest…and then some. He felt his belly try to pooch over the waistband of his pants. The taste of McChubbies lingered in his mouth.
Samantha however, she looked much more pleased. No longer a boulder bellied party girl, she looked like she must have looked when the first few pounds found her; thick hipped, slimmer waist, heaving bosom, and thick thighs. She practically sprinted to her car.
Matt couldn’t wait for Monday.
Of course he hadn’t planned to have such a lazy weekend. He’d had a hike planned, a day of meal prepping, a few workouts…it just seemed like too much after his first week. The salad tasted too bland. The delivery food tasted better. The beer helped wash it down. The chips were a good after taste, and before Matt knew it he was massaging a food baby at 10pm on a Friday night. Saturday and Sunday weren’t much better. Every thought of the gym was curtailed by; maybe later, after this episode, delivery is almost here. 
As Monday morning dawned, a strange things popped up on his app; employee service update, Matthew, weight updated to 211lbs.
