It's true that life can throw you some curves, but how boring would it be if it were all straight lines? No, not all curves are bad. Take, for example, Tuesday, three weeks ago!
I'm leaving my appointment, walking across the entrance plaza, heading for my car, checking the clock and figuring I've got time enough on my meter to stop for a coffee, when I become aware of a ruckus at the bus stop I'm passing. Voices raised -- some taunting, one pleading. "Stop! Leave me alone!"
That gets my attention. I slow down to assess the situation, and quickly determine several teenage punks are harassing a plump young woman there. "Hey!" I yell. "Bugger off! Leave her be." Changing direction, I stride over towards the glass enclosure. The thugs look my way, surprised.
"Get a grip!" they whine. "We're just teasing!"
Brandishing my cell, I tell them to fuck off before the police get there. They retort, "Protecting your fat-assed girlfriend, eh?" But they move on, nonetheless.
"You okay?" I ask. They had her verging on tears; now the dam breaks. Speaking through her sobs, she sputters, "I tried to ignore them, but they just wouldn't let up -- Fatso this, and Lard-ass that!" Then she sobs even harder. Not knowing what else to do, I put my arm around her shoulder and let her cry against my chest, until she can compose herself.
"Hey, you stood up to them," I mutter, encouragingly. "You were very brave." I pause to watch her slowly gather herself. "Anyway, it's over now."
She has started quaking violently -- with rage, I suspect -- and frustration. "No," she says, shaking her head resignedly, "it's never really over." I continue to murmur inarticulate platitudes, trying to calm her -- to soothe her nerves. And, ever so slowly, she regains her poise, shaking off her upset. Now she's embarrassed. "I don't know why I let those punks get under my skin," she mumbles.
"Forget it. They're not worth the agro!" Then, after a moment, I introduce myself. "By the way, I'm Jacob."
"Hi, Jacob. I'm Monica -- Moe to my friends." Her smile, however brief, is radiant, as she adds, "Thanks!"
"Can I get you a coffee?" I ask, nodding at the shop ahead.
"That'd be nice. Thank you."
As we walk toward the coffee shop in companionable silence, I -- rather dispassionately, I'll admit -- assess her. She is, to say the least, rotund. About 5'1", she must be a 50-inch triple D bust -- thick tummy, big hips and bottom -- at first, I almost have to agree with the punks; she looks very tubby. But analytically, I realize that, despite her shape, there is something -- actually several things -- rather attractive, or, at least, intriguing about her: A very pretty face, for starters, with a flawless complexion; graceful hands; firm knockers, with conspicuous high beams; defined waist; shaped butt; muscular thighs; and sculpted calves. Yes, she is quite the curious package.
We stand at the ordering counter in a sort of awkward silence, both conscious, I think, of a kind of mutual uncertainty hanging between us. But, once we get seated at a small table by the window, the atmosphere mellows. Moe -- no, Monica. 'Moe' is too hard edged. Curiously, my inner-conversation decides that this little butterball is definitely a 'Monica', not a 'Moe' -- anyway, Monica smiles, "Thank you...," then, raising her eyebrows, adds, "Jake?"
I return her smile, but reply, "Jacob, please. I've never been Jake -- or Jay."
"Oh. Sorry, then, Jacob. I just..." She begins to nervously babble.
"It's all right." I smile at her, probably too indulgently, then turn serious. "So how are you feeling -- seriously?"
She smiles a shy, sad smile, and waits a beat before responding softly, "I'm okay. Really." Nodding her head slightly, she adds, "You'd think I would be used to it by now, eh?" And, like the flood-gates opening, Monica begins, in a rush, to tell me her story. "I've always been 'plump-plus' -- a softer euphemism for fat, so I got used to teasing early, or thought I had." She surrenders a shrug and a derisive snort before continuing. "You know, I've tried every frigging diet ever invented. Some left me tired and sick -- lethargic and weak; others strong and inspired -- energized; but none ever left me lighter."
"I am a regular at the gym, and have been since I was a teenager. I am, in fact, quite strong and flexible, but my toned muscles remain obscured by the surrounding 'chub'." She spreads her arms and throws out her chest in a sort of "See?" gesture of display. Then she chuckles, wryly. "Oh yeah. Ever since puberty I have had large prominent nipples. They have always stood out; through all manner of clothing -- tops, sweatshirts, sweaters, even brassieres -- padded or otherwise. Kind of a permanent high-beam! Goodness knows, I've always deliberately dressed well, picking styles and patterns that minimize my size and de-emphasize my roly-poly shape; still, I don't generally attract the right type of attention." Puzzled, I raise a questioning eyebrow, and she goes on to explain. "Guys, more often than not, it seems, misconstrue erect nipples as a sign of being horny and respond with salacious remarks. Fact is," she admits, after a moment of reflection, "My nipples are very sensitive -- very out there. A sort of exposed erogenous zone."
She smiles ruefully, giving he head a shake, then continues, in a surprising direction. "Still, my sexual experience has been predominantly pity-fucks!" Slapping her hand over her mouth, she squeaks, "Omigod! Did I just say that?" Embarrassed and flustered at being so frank, she stutters out an apology, drains her now-cold coffee, and stands to leave. "Sorry for being such a... er, whatever. Thanks for the coffee -- and for being so kind." Monica pauses and gives me a very slightly sad, thousand-watt smile, before adding, "And for listening," then she turns. "I've got to get going or I'll miss the next bus."
"Wait!" I say, standing suddenly with a clatter. I'm feeling an odd urgency, as I call after her, "Let me give you a lift."
She turns. Her look, one of consideration. "Really?"
"Yeah. I men, no problem." We get to the car just as the meter runs out. The chatter during the drive, while cheery, is inconsequential trivia -- favourite song, favourite movie, and stuff like that. She gives me directions and in no time at all we pull up in front of an old character-home in which she rents a suite. For some reason -- prolonging the connection, I s'pose -- I walk her to her door. As she turns the key in the lock, I say, "Well..., it's been nice meeting you, Monica. I'll say goodbye now. Take care.
Suddenly, just before I turn to leave, she wheels around and stares at me wide-eyed. She looks like she's seen a ghost. "Is something wrong?"
Breathlessly, her voice a hoarse whisper, she asks, "Will you fuck me?" Her unblinking eyes are locked onto mine. "Please."
Now, at this particular juncture, I'm between relationships. The fact is, I haven't had sex in almost a half a year, except with my five-fingered right-hand man. I'm sorta looking for, waiting for Ms. Right; so her astounding proposal kind of blows me away. I nod and stammer, "Unh, sure... uh, yeah... um, yeah, I'd love to!"
Monica, now looking invigorated, grabs me by my jacket lapel, and virtually drags me into her bachelor -- bachelorette? -- pad, kicking the door shut behind us. Locking me with her eyes, she begins to silently, frantically disrobe. I follow suit, fascinated by the fervor with which she pulls free of her jacket, and tears off her blouse and camisole. As she shimmies out of her bra, it occurs to me, in a back corner of my mind, that it -- her bra -- is really quite a feat of engineering, supporting all that mass. But, even once that support is removed, her boobs are amazingly firm -- and more upright than I would have expected. As she flops onto the bed, onto her back, and kicks herself free of her pants and panties, her impressive breasts don't completely flow to the sides, but still remain somewhat upraised -- nipples up and erect.
Meanwhile, I've just bared my chest and kicked my shoes off. As she watches me, through lowered eyes, supine on the bed, she lets her knees splay to reveal well-trimmed bush. The unspoken invitation -- damp, puffy labia -- is too much for me. Wriggling out of my shirts, I drop to my knees, between hers, and inhale her redolence -- that indefinable aroma -- the scent of a woman in heat.
Hesitating only an instant, I fall into eating her -- drawing my tongue between her lips, gathering her dew, as I stroke up to circle her clitoris. She responds energetically. Her thighs rubbing my cheeks; her love button, marvelously sensitive, is slowly engorging.
