1...2...3...4...
Maggie stopped to catch her breath during her morning-turned-afternoon exercise. Her lungs burnt, filled with gunk that she kept hacking up. Whatever Annie had brought to work, Maggie now had too. She opened her eyes and took a deep breath.
5...6...7...8...9.
She stopped again, heaving. She told herself that the stretch was waking her up, giving her energy. Her body responded that no, it wasn't, and demanded she get back in bed, safe under a blanket or two. Maggie pushed up into a plank position and counted.
1...2...3...
She collapsed onto her bounteous breasts, sending a painful jolt throughout her chest. Maggie groaned, then coughed up some more gunk as she rose. Her yoga pants groaned to remind her how fat her ass was getting; she self-consciously slipped them off.
Maggie spit her loogie into the bathroom sink, coughed up another, then rinsed out the sink and her mouth with some tap water. Her clothes went on the floor, and she went in the shower to enjoy the steam.
Afterwards, she felt a little better. The fog of congestion had subsided a bit, but now the apartment air felt even colder. She climbed into a pair of pink pajamas and the thickest sweater in her closet. The fabric was irritating, so she took it back off, pulled on a tank, then slid the sweater back over it all. Finally, she slipped on a pair of socks and her fuzziest slippers. Satisfactorily warm, Maggie proceeded to find lunch.
Bacon and scrambled eggs, so easy that a shitty cook like Maggie could make them. And so she did. Michael could certainly cook, having done so on their second date. Grilled chicken with a special spice rub and made from scratch mashed potatoes: the meal was so sexy she'd almost dropped to her knees as soon as she smelled the pepper. Instead, she kept her legs crossed, had a great dinner, then half-watched a movie as they made out. After he was good and worked up, she had a salty, cock-flavored dessert. Then, she left. Tonight, she hoped to stay over, but that was certainly up to Michael.
The food was gone quicker than it had come. Still hungry, she threw a couple more strips of bacon in the pan. In the already hot grease, they didn't take long. She chewed on them as she made her way to her couch to relax. Meanwhile, Maggie found a playlist on her Apple TV and laid back. She silently asked herself what she was going to wear.
Maggie had busted out the big guns on the 1st date: a tight black shirt, a tight pair of jeans, and a daring pair of heels. It made the intended impression. When he politely and frequently moved his eyes back up from her balletic body, he found her pretty, freckled face and big blue eyes waiting for him. She'd smile to let him know it was okay; the embarrassed look he gave her was utterly adorable.
For the second date, going into his house, she'd worn something from school: a green blouse and a white sweater with a black, knee-length skirt. Still cute, but less inviting, for safety sake. She wanted to get laid, not raped. The schoolteacher outfit had even felt a little dirty. Naughty.
Need to get a pair of glasses to go with it. Tell him I'm gonna have to give him an F for...fucking...or something...
She laughed, then coughed. Maggie sat up to get a breath. She wanted to sleep, but sleep would just bring on the cold. A cold would fuck up her Saturday; it could even stop her from getting fucked. She needed caffeine. Maggie grabbed her keys and left.

When the car honked behind her, Maggie jumped, then pressed the accelerator hard. She shook her head again to wake up. Her whole body was starting to ache, the cold aggressively trying to subdue her; her concentration was in tatters. The coffee from Terri's helped, but she was still losing the fight.
Hungry, she pulled into Wanda's drive-thru, and ordered two steaming cups of chili, a Bacon Bacon Cheeseburger plus fries and a Dr. Pepper. She picked at the fries, unable to resist having just one more again and again. Some of her energy started to return; the grogginess subsided.
Maggie spotted a liquor store and pulled into its lot. She pulled her hair back into a sloppy pony tail, and pushed on a pair of sunglasses to cover her dilated, bloodshot eyes before getting out.
The only apparent employees were two guys stocking a shelf; they briefly broke off their conversation, then continued as Maggie scanned the aisle markers. She spotted the whiskey on the aisle beside them.
"Take 95 out a few miles, the road curves, there's a hill shaped like two tits, with a tree right on top of each like a nipple, and one in between like a dick...I'll have to show you," one of them, an absolute, pimple-faced nerd, was saying. "It's dark, and kinda scary, but no one can see you..." He noticed Maggie; his bespectacled eyes skimmed her body as he grinned. "How are you doing today?"
"Good," she said. Maggie sniffled, for emphasis. "Just sick."
"That sucks," he said. "Guess you got the day off, huh?"
"Yup," Maggie replied. She found a nice, big bottle of cheap stuff that she liked and headed for the front counter. Her geeky admirer followed her. Up close, she could see his name tag said "Eric".
"Gotta check your ID," he said as he pulled up the register. She handed it to him. His grinned then sheepishly tried, "You're 29?"
"Yeah," she said, nonchalantly getting her debit card ready as well.
"You don't look 29," Eric said, handing the license back to her as he took her card.
"Thank you," she said with a smile.
"What do you do?"
"I'm a teacher." She pointed to her red nose. "Guess where I picked this up from?"
Eric chuckled. He finished the transaction, and Maggie took her bottle from him.
"Have a good day," she said on her way out. She could feel them both still watching her.
The compliment was nice.
In the car, she realized her nipples were apparent through her sweater, and laughed as she laid a hand across her chest to cover them up.
You're welcome.
Maggie mused over the experience as she enjoyed the remainder of her food. She wondered if they'd be jacking it later to thoughts of her. In their fantasy, she'd walk back in, having forgotten something, then accidentally drop her wallet or her purse or whatever. Eric would probably have her bending over, giving him a big, stretched Kitty face. She knew she had a great ass, whether it was getting fat or not. If her mom was any indicator, it'd be nice for years to come.
So Maggie imagined him imagining her bent over, presenting. She'd give him a look over her hip, catching him looking. He'd be so busted. And then she'd smile, and start lowering her pants, giving him a glimpse of those perfect cheeks. Next thing she'd know, he'd be pushing into her slit or her asshole, whichever he preferred.
Maggie giggled at the inappropriate imagined imagining. Her amusement slowly melted into the troubling realization that she was sitting in her car, fantasizing about a guy masturbating...fucking her.
I really do need to get laid...

Her neighbor, Abbey, was leaving as Maggie arrived back at her apartment; her small boy followed closely behind. Maggie gave him a big smile and a wave, then grinned at her diminutive neighbor.
Or perhaps you're just a tall freak,
she told herself as she greeted Abbey.
"We're heading off to Daddy's for the evening," Abbey said pleasantly. She smirked. "Then Momma's going to figure out what she's doing."
"Have fun," Maggie replied, with a final wave.
