Pete pulled into his driveway and saw Peggy from next door sitting on his doorstep. He got out of the car and heard her crying.
"Hey, Peg, what's up?" he asked.
"John left me," she sobbed tears streaming down her face.
"What? No way. Come on inside and tell me what happened."
He lived alone but had always kept up good relations with all his neighbors especially Peggy. It was cool in the house and she sat on the sofa while Pete fixed them drinks. He handed her one and sat at the other end of the large sofa. Peggy took a large gulp, coughed because it was so strong then sipped before talking. She told Pete how John and she had fought it ending up with him packing his clothes and leaving.
"Pete, he called me fat and ugly. I'm not am I?"
They both knew she would never win a beauty contest with looks or her body, but she was very attractive. The rest of her was a bit on the chunky side but still nice to see, he thought.
"I'm sure he was talking from anger. Lots of times John told me how good you had always looked to him and he said it with pride. I fully agree with him, Peg. You are very attractive. You're always the life of any party and everybody loves you."
He saw her glass was empty and went to the bar. Fresh drinks in hand he turned and she was sitting more on the edge of the sofa. She took the glass and this time sipped it more slowly.
"I thank you for your kind words, but look at me, Pete. Am I really fat?"
For a moment he was startled. It was like she had caught him doing what he always did when around her, trying to look down the front of her blouse. Peggy was wearing what had become known as her uniform. A loose skirt and open in the front blouse. It seemed most of the men in the neighborhood had eyes doing the same thing. Probably because being just a little bit bigger than most of their wives she had also developed a rather large chest.
"Good heavens no. You're definitely not fat, just nicely put together in a bigger way than most." Pete was grasping for the right words, but what he said was true. He had never thought of her as being fat or to big. "To really be completely honest I've always liked the way you are. Women with large, uh........."
"Breasts?" she completed the sentence for him.
"Well, yeah, now that you mention it. I like a woman with big tits."
"You really mean that? John constantly complained they were to big. I mean look at me. You don't think their over sized?"
