"You're 15 now Maria, that means you have to get a job mija" her father said looking at his wife for reassurance, "You're homeschooled now, and when me and your mother were your age we were both working" - he said with almost a look of shame in his eyes.
Maria started panicking in her head, I have to pull out the big guns for this one. So she put on her best puppy dog face and looked at her father and said, "But Papi, I thought I was your princesita". She even managed to bring tears to her eyes.
"Mari, baby, you kno--" seeing the weakness in the father Florencia took over. "We both love you baby, but you're a growing girl, when I was your age I had 2 jobs, one at a bakery and one helping your abuela clean houses after school, you're homeschooled now princesita, you have time and it's important you learn the value of money"
Sensing her strategy wasn't working Maria really did start panicking, she started sweating and fidgeting in her chair as she tried to think of what she could say to get out of this, "But Mami, Papi" she said while grabbing a large chunk of her belly and shaking it, not speaking so she could emphasize how long it shook after she stopped moving it. "I'm massive, my grande, gorda, fat huge, my stomach shoot for like 10 seconds without me even touching it, I'M NOT en escuela because they don't have a desk that can SUPPORT me, I can't work, I should focus on my studies so I can go to college like Lupe." That should work she thought to herself.
"Hahaha" her sister laughed, "That excuse won't work your culona will have to get a job" she said with a smile, "culo gordo tiene que un trabajooooo" she said with a smile
"SILENCIO, ir a tu cuorto AHORA" her father said as Gabrielle picked up her plate and ran upstairs to her room with a smile on her face. Before she ran up as she passed her sister who was giving her the evil eye she whispered, " Love you gorda, have fun with your job fatass" and quickly ran as Maria reached to try to grab her.
"You're a growing girl angelita, you're only going to get bigger, you're only 15 mija, you have to look for a job" her mother said. "Tu mama es correct, we had a long talk and decided you need to learn the value of a dollar, at your quinceañera you ate over $500 worth of food that was suppose to feed all the guest, we had to get more food to keep the party supplied and even then you kept eating" her father reluctantly said with a sad look on his face.
"But papi, I'm a growing girl, I need to eat! and it was MY Quinceañera, I can do whatever I want, I'm a woman now, if I want to eat I will!! And there's nothing you or mom can do about it" Maria said as she stuffed a tamale in her mouth whole and reached for more food.
"We're not saying that angelita" her mother replied as her daughter kept reaching for more food, "we want you to eat and be happy and healthy, you will always be mi princesita, and tu mami's angelita but you're a woman now and you have to get a job" he said as he looked at his daughter start chugging on a gallon of Horchata. "And look sweetie" her mother said in a quiet tone, "me and your papi have decided if you can keep a job for 6 months we will buy you your own van that you can use to drive, doesn't that make you happy baby?"
"NO! she said as she started eating directly from the pot of refried beans, after depleting some tortillas, "I'm a princess, I shouldn't have to work, I WANT MY CAR NOW, if you wanted me happy you wouldn't make me get a stupid job" she said right before stuffing spoonful after spoonful of beans in her mouth "Where will I even work? I don't know any where to apply" she said in between mouthfuls
"Don't worry sweetie, you'll get your car after you work, and me and your mother have leads, me and your mom both know people who work and own restaurants and bakeries across the city, it'll be easy getting you a job sweetie" her father said as Maria kept eating and glaring at her parents. "We got you este comida y bebida so you would take the news better because we know you love eating, there's more food in the kitchen too angelita" her mother chimed in.
Maria set the pot to the side after finishing the pot of refried beans in only 5 minutes that would normally feed the family and started reaching for more empanadas and tamales. She was fuming on the inside and wanted to punish her parents in the only way she knew how, "Do you really want to make me happy" she said looking at her parents after setting the full plate of a dozen empanadas and dozen tamales in front of her.
"of course mija" her father said, "anything to make mi anjelita happy" her mother replied.
"THEN GET OUT AND LET ME EAT EVERTHING, I hate both of you for torturing me like this" she said while stuffing a whole tamale and empanada in her mouth.
"That's no way to--" her mother started saying before her father grabbed her and started whispering to her, "She's angry, she doesn't mean it, we should let her go"
"No", she whispered back, "I've been slaving all day in the kitchen and you spent over $100 on Juan's, she shouldn't speak to us like that"
"We need to give her space, our mija is growing and becoming a woman, let's leave her too eat and watch a novella en la sala" he said as they both looked at their daughter who was stuffing whole empanadas and tamales in her mouth and reaching for more. "Okay" Florencia whispered back.
"We'll leave you to eat princess, your mother will take you too look for a job tomorrow, is there anything you want before we go to our room and leave you?" her father said. "Yeah" Maria replied with a mouthful of food, bring the carne asada, flautas, and barbacoa to the table, and you said this food was for me so leave your plates, I'll eat whatever you didn't eat" she said just as she brought the last tamale to her mouth and stuffed it in her mouth whole. Before reaching for a pot of rice.
"Okay sweetie, eat to your hearts content, we'll find you a job tomorrow" and with that both of Maria's parents as they went to the kitchen and took some of the empty plates away and set down more food. They then walked upstairs and made there way to the bedroom. "our little girl is becoming a woman" her father said to Florencia, "I know, she's becoming more and more of a woman each and every day" she replied and with that they were in their bedrooms.
Maria was still furious and eating food in record time. She finished the pot of rice in only 5 minutes, started stuffing multiple tortillas in her mouth and went through a plate in less than 2 minutes. She was angry and when she's angry she likes to eat. As she worked her way through more and more of the food on the table her shirt started to cover less and less of her massive apron of a belly. She reached for the pitcher of horchata in the middle of the table and chugged it down in less than a minute. She stopped using utensils and got up from her chair and made her way around the dinner table stuffing everything and everything in her mouth. Flautas, Sour Cream, Salsa, Rice, Barbacoa, Enchildas, it didn't matter what it was or how big of a mess it made, if it was edible it was going in her belly. After eating everything on the table, she took her chair and made her way too the kitchen where 9 bags of Juan's was sitting on one of the counters and her mothers cooking was everywhere else. Some would say what happened was impossible, but never underestimate a hungry Maria.
She continued on going through bag after bag of Juan's only taking breaks to chug soda or burp. She went through all 9 bags in about an hour and a half whenever she saw her mother appear downstairs with Gabriella. They looked on as Maria swallowed the crumbs of some chips that were in the last bag.
Her sister stood there wide-eyed at the vision of Gluttony that was Maria. Maria's shirt didn't cover any of her belly anymore and looked more like a make-shift bra, her bra snapped about 20 minutes ago, and even her leggings looked tighter than they did before she started her angry feast.
"Maria angelita, is everything okay" her mother said and Maria immediately replied, "GET OUT, I'M EATING, THIS FOOD IS FOR ME AND ME ONLY" she shouted as her mother had a shocked look on her face. Maria then saw Gabriella reach for a small piece of flan that was sitting on the counter by where the Juan's bag used to be before they found their new home in Maria's growing belly. Maria with lighting fast reflexes you wouldn't expect from a women her size slapped Gabriella's hand and shouted, "And if you touch any of my food, you'll become food too you little runt" which caused Gabriella to run behind her mother for support as tears started swelling up in her eyes.
"See mom, Maria want's to eat me" she said to her mother, "Don't worry sweetie, she's just angry because of the bad news, she won't eat you, now let's take you to your amigas house for the sleepover" and with that her mom and Gabriella were away.
Maria was still fuming and even though full a long time ago made it her mission to eat everything and anything she saw. Burritos went down in 2 bites, soups were chugged, even the bones on the whole roasted chicken wouldn't be spared as Maria was too lazy to pick the meat off and just ate the pieces whole bone and all. Maria was still angry at the prospect of the job and even when she ate all the food her mother spent all day cooking she decided to empty the pantries and fridge as well. By the time everything was done 5 hours had passed and on the kitchen floor say a full and satisfied Maria who had long ripped her shirt completely off as well as tear her leggings, her double enforced chair had been destroyed by the even more massive woman and Maria lay on the floor half-naked with a bean bag sized belly resting between her now larger legs. With all the food in the hous in her, she thought. I guess I'll be getting a car out of this, and I got a feast in that was more food than I ate at my Quinceañera. Time to go sleep in my room.
