The Dress
Clair and Maeve’s 4th date
Maeve looked at herself in her mirror. She was unsure about the dress. It was pink, silky, and quite simple with a high slit up her thigh. Her mother had heard about her dates with her old high school fling and decided that she needed something to wear other than her usual button down shirts and corduroy pants. Maeve didn’t wear things like this and she was suddenly extremely aware of the weight she had put on since her first meeting with Clair. The dress strained over her belly and breasts, proving that her mother was unaware of her new figure. Despite her insecurities, she has to admit that it emphasized her curves wonderfully. But it wasn’t about how she felt in the dress, it was about whether or not Clair would be disappointed with her appearance.
“ Oh well. It was a nice thought.” She began to pull down the straps of the dress so that she could change. Except as soon as she did, the door bell rang. Fuck, Clair was already here to pick her up. She had no choice but to wear the dress. Maeve sheepishly went to get the door.
“ Hey Maeve! I have a great place to take you tonig-“ Clair froze at the woman that opened the door. The shiny silk was framing her body so nicely, her makeup was done fancier than usual, the bashful look on her face just made her look cuter than she already was. “ Wow you look incredible. Well you always look incredible but wow that dress is amazing.” Clair smiled from ear to ear. Maeve blushed and tucked her hair behind her ear.
“ Really? I was unsure about it. I was actually about to change.” Maeve replied. She noticed Clair’s eyes wandering back to the spot on the dress where it was so tight around her tummy that her bellybutton was visible.
“ No No please don’t change. You look amazing.” Clair wanted to pin her to that door and worship her body all night, dinner plans be damned. The high slit of the dress was tempting her by the second.
“ Well, shall we be on our way?” Maeve's voice snapped Clair out of her thoughts.
“ Just the soup for me please.” Maeve mumbled to the waiter. Clair furrowed her eyebrows slightly.
“ Are you sure that’s all you want? It’s totally fine, you don’t need to worry about money or anything.”
“ No it’s okay. I’m just not hungry right now.” Maeve smiled up at her. Clair knew that wasn’t true. She could hear her stomach growling as soon as they got into the car. She wanted to see that pink dress stretched over her overly full body. She thought of feeding her right there in the restaurant. She didn’t give a damn about the other people. She wanted to climb over that table and grab her belly while she feeds her every bit of fattening food-
‘ No. She can’t know yet. It’s too soon.’ Clair thought to herself while quickly stopping her mind from wandering again.
“ Clair? Are you listening?” Maeve giggled. Clair hadn’t even realized that Maeve had been talking to her.
“ Oh shit yeah I’m sorry! Yeah I just….listen you just look really pretty tonight. I know this isn’t really your style but it really suits you.” Clair placed her hand on top of Maeve’s. Maeve smiled as Clair awkwardly straightened out her own dress. Maeve started feeling a bit more comfortable in her own skin.
“ But Maeve, are you sure you don’t want anything else to eat?” Clair still kept her smile despite her worries.
“ I’m fine. Really I’m just fine. I’m just not hungry right now.” Maeve still had that soft smile. Although Clair wasn’t convinced, she decided to change the subject. They chatted, laughed, and drank in each other’s company. Maeve spoke about a particular irritating moment at the studio earlier that week while Clair chimed in with a rude woman who was harassing her new barista at the cafe. Maeve couldn’t believe how much Clair’s life had changed since she’s been gone. She thought to those back in high school. Clair was a senior when Maeve was a sophomore. She was constantly gunning for Clair’s attention as Clair would just pat her head and tell her she was cute. Clair eventually developed feelings for her and Maeve was over the moon. But all of it changed the day Maeve's father walked in on them kissing. He berated her and forbade her from seeing Clair. Clair was so frightened that she swiftly left without saying goodbye. Things were different afterwards. School was awkward, their friends were torn between the two, and Maeve completely isolated herself. She tried not to think about it often.Clair noticed Maeve eyeing the extravagant dishes that were being handed to other customers with desperation in her eyes. She looked down at the sad bowl of soup in front of her instead and forward her eyebrows before taking another spoonful to her mouth. She stared at the steak that Clair was eating.
“ Maeve, I can see you staring at my food.” Clair chuckled. “ It’s totally fine if you want to order something else. I know you're hungry. You’re allowed to eat, you know? ” She kept her kind tone. Maeve sighed.
“ I know I know. But I just…can’t right now.” Maeve avoided looking her in the eyes. Clair was even more confused than she already was.
“ What do you mean you can’t? Is this about money? If it is, don't worry about it if you don’t need to-.”
“I’m getting too fat, Clair.” Maeve interrupted her. Clair’s heart skipped a beat. No no no there was no way this was happening.
“ What do you mean?” Clair tried to keep her cool.
“ Clair how have you not noticed? Look at me, I’m practically spilling out of this dress! And I’m not blaming you but I go to the cafe every morning and you load me up with all kinds of treats and I just can’t help myself! I have no self control whatsoever around you and I can’t believe how greedy I look right now. How can you even look at me?” Maeve’s emotions finally spilled out of her. Clair kept her eyes glued to the ground. The silence remained until the waiter came back.
“ Can I get you ladies anything else?” He gave them a big bright smile.
“ Just the check please.” Clair said without making eye contact. Maeve felt guilt fill her body.
“ Clair I didn’t mean to upset you I’m-.”
“ Maeve, I’m gonna take you back to my place. I have to show you something.”
They sat in the car for a minute before Clair got out with Maeve following soon after. Clair opened the door before taking Maeve’s hand and smiling at her. As soon as the door was shut, Clair pinned Maeve to the wall and smashed their lips together. She brought her arm between Maeve’s legs and lifted her up while Maeve wrapped her chubby thighs around her waist. Clair’s other hand was brought right to her belly.
“ You're so beautiful Maeve.” Clair panted and moved to Maeve’s neck. She continued grouping her body while Maeve whimpered and sighed with pleasure. “ Don't talk about yourself like that. I’m so attached to you it’s insane. I can’t get over how amazing you look tonight.”
“ I just feel so…big.” Maeve squeaked. Clair felt herself flush at Maeve’s words. ‘Not yet. We can’t scare her away.’She repeated in her head over and over again.
“ That doesn’t matter to me. You’re still you and that’s all that I want. You’re strong, smart, and so insanely talented.” Clair took her free hand to cup Maeve’s face. She nuzzled her head deeper into Clair’s hand.
“ I-Im sorry for what I said. In the restaurant I mean.” Maeve’s mind was still blown by Clair's sudden intense emotion.
“ No need. You’re insecure, I get it but you don’t have to be.” Clair slowly brought Maeve back onto her feet. “ Come sit with me please.” Maeve happily plopped down onto Clair’s couch. Alex was sleeping over with his cousins at Fiona’s house so she could stay with Clair all night if she wanted too. They were still draped in their dinner gowns as they snuggled up together. Clair had Maeve lay down so that she could lay on top of her. She rested her head on Maeve’s large breasts and rubbed her belly.
“ So soft.” Clair smiled up at her. Maeve smiled and blushed softly.
“ You just like that you can use me as a pillow. But if I lay on you, you’ll break.” Maeve chuckled.
‘ DON’T SAY ANYTHING.’
“ I’m big and strong. I can’t handle it.” Clair flirted while walking her fingers up Maeve’s chest and tapped her nose. A big goofy smile appeared on Maeve’s face. Clair straightened up and was about to kiss her again, before a loud growling stopped her in her tracks.
“ Fuck, I’m sorry I guess I’m still hungry.” Maeve said awkwardly.
“ Well then, let’s have a do over, yeah? I’ll take you out again and you can have whatever you’d like.” Clair started petting the side of her face. Maeve's eyes lit up but she glanced at the clock.
“ Clair, there won’t be anything open at this time.”
“ Don’t worry about it. I know a place.”
Maeve and Clair sat alone in a 24 hour diner, laughing hysterically in a small booth in the corner of the restaurant. Still dressed to the fullest in their gowns, but much more relaxed with each other than in the fancy place from earlier.
“ You know Maeve, we've actually been here before.” Clair’s laughter started to fade.
“ Have we? I don’t think I remember.” Maeve raised her eyebrow.
“ Yeah well you were very drunk. We went with the rest of our high school group after a football game that we had spent the entire time drinking and smoking under the bleachers at and you were so light weight that you were drunk after 3 beers. You were attached to my hip the whole night and inhaled a plate of French fries. I had to take your phone and call poor 11 year old Fiona to let us in so that your parents wouldn’t catch you.” Clair started laughing again.
“ Wow I don’t even remember that! We never paid attention to those dumb football games did we? Even though the god damn star football player somehow convicted me to marry him and destroyed my life. And now I’m back here with you. Life is fucking insane.” Maeve smiled and placed a hand on Clair’s arm. Clair smiled back at her, admiring the way the fluorescent lighting hit Maeve’s face. A large stack of pancakes with strawberries poured on top was placed in front of her. Maeve’s eyes lit up.
“ Woah I had no idea how much food this was gonna be!” Maeve exclaimed.
‘DON’T!’
“ Well, I could help you if you’d like?” Clair said without even thinking. She felt a cold sweat down her spine as soon as she processed what she had just said.
“ Sure!” Maeve said with food in her mouth. Clair was in shock. She slowly got up and sat down on the other side of Maeve. She took the extra plate, slid some of the pancakes off the stack and started cutting them in half. Maeve opened her mouth and happily accepted the piece.
“ God, these are amazing! Definitely not gonna help with my weight though.” She chuckled and Clair placed more food into her mouth. Clair started relaxing a little once she realized that Maeve wasn’t picking up on anything. A couple more pancakes in, she started getting full. Her stomach was fully pressed against her dress. Clair’s breath got caught in her throat at the sight.
“ Oh jeez I’m getting full.” Maeve sighed.
‘PLEASE DON’T!’
“ Let me rub your tummy for you. Don’t want you to be uncomfortable.” Internal thoughts be damned. She was gonna enjoy every minute of this. Maeve nodded while still eating. Clair gently brought her nimble fingers to Maeve’s silk draped belly. It was so taut and full, but still soft right at the bottom so that she could perfectly pinch it. Even better than she could ever imagine. One particularly tight spot caused Maeve to burp loudly. She hid her face in embarrassment.
“ fuck sorry that was gross” Maeve avoided eye contact. Clair couldn’t believe how adorable she was.
“ It's alright Maeve. You’re beautiful inside and out and I don’t ever want you to forget it.” Clair kissed Maeve’s cheek and continued to rub her belly.
‘ I love you.’ Another internal thought crept through her mind as Maeve happily continued to munch on her pancakes.
