This choice: "We're, um...kind of...dating..." • Go Back...Chapter #4Estelle’s Girlfriend, Ophelia by: Keroro04   Upon the huge burst of the statement, the entire dining room fell into silence. Gloria could not believe her ears, and she felt like this had to be a dream. Estelle Vandergast, her sister and one who had put her image into staying thin and beautiful, was dating a woman who was at least twice her weight, maybe more.
But this wasn’t a dream, this was reality. And as this realization slowly settled on Gloria, Ophelia was the one to break the silence in a rather calming way. “I’m… I’m so sorry that things turned out like this. You mind if I leave for a bit for you to talk things out with your sis, Estie?”
“…Sure.” Estelle replied, realizing she had went too far and revealed something to Gloria that she wasn’t ready to reveal just yet.”
“I’ll be in the living room, then.”
Watching as Ophelia rose up from her seat, Gloria watched as the gut-heavy lover of Estelle carried with her a stack of pancakes out into the living room. All this left was the two sisters and Nicole, who also wanted to stay out of things but also in a strange way wanted to watch how things turned out.
“I… I’m so sorry at how I’ve been treating you.” Gloria admitted, rising from her seat. “If I knew you two were dating, I’d definitely have served a more… normal serving of breakfast.”
“I’m also sorry, Gloria. I realize that… with myself dating a girl like her, my statements may have been a bit… hypocritical. I think for the time being, I’ll stop cracking down on all the food stuff.”
“So uh… how did you two first meet?” Gloria asked, smiling a bit as she accepted her sister’s apology and vice versa.
“We met at a concert half a year ago.” Estelle admitted, as she reminisced about the past. “She was only a tiny bit chubby back then, but it was her who helped me realize that not only was I attracted to women, but particularly to those of a heavyset nature.”
“Ah, so you were the person responsible for her getting as big as she did, huh?” Gloria said, smiling a bit smugly before turning to another thing she just realized. “Hey wait, if your saying your into fat people now, then what do you think of us?”
“You two will forever be a bit too big for your britches in my mind.” Estelle chuckled a bit from the statement, causing Gloria and Nicole to pout before the elder sister continued. “But for Ophelia, that was a different story. I found myself falling in love with her growing body, and as we found new ways to fully explore her weight, it was truly euphoric. Sorry if it’s a bit TMI, by the way.”
“Please, we’re both adult women with sexual experiences. The difference is the gender we prefer, but nothing we say will ever be a bit too TMI for me.”
“I swear, you find new ways to emb- no, I’m trying to be open for once, I can’t ruin this. Now where was I… oh yes!” Pulling out a picture from a week ago from her wallet, Estelle slid it off to her sister to show something she was proud of.
“This is Ophelia just a week ago, after I got her to take part in a hot dog eating contest to show the fruits of our labor. We got second place, but considering first place went to someone big enough to put you to shame, we were so proud of it. That’s when things stopped being about pleasure, and about a actual romance.”
“So why bring her here then?” Getting into the important question, Gloria raised a eyebrow at her sister as she emphasized it. “Were you seeking approval from me? Sis, you know I’ll always care for you deep down, no matter who your dating.”
“No actually.” Shaking her head no at Gloria’s comment, Estelle leaned in on her heavyset little sister, before whispering out the truth. “Don’t let her know I told you this, but when she heard you were running a kitchen franchise, she wanted to ask if she could help with some sponsored content to help you out. After all, she seems to love the places you started in town, as does everyone else in this city…”
“Sponsored content? That’s where she makes videos that showcase our place as good, right?” Always the one less familiar with technology in the family, Gloria tried guessing what her sister had meant without actually knowing it. This time though, as revealed by Estelle, she was sorta right.
“Well, there’s more to it than that, but that’s the gist of it. She wants to sponsor your places so she can help them get more popular, and in exchange she wants the chance to earn… free meals.”
At the mention of free meals, Estelle’s face blushed, but thankfully Gloria nodded as she moved away. “Well, in regards to THAT, we can figure it out later. As for your date though, congratulations. I hope things go well between the two of you.”
“Same for you. If you don’t mind, you think I could join Ophi in the living room? I bet she’s getting a bit lonely without someone to watch her wolf all that food down.”
“Be my guest.” Gloria stated, pointing at the door.
“Thank you.”
With that, Gloria watched as Estelle left the room next, to sit next to Ophidia on the couch. For Gloria, this should have been a very happy moment. After all, her sister had finally found love, and on top of that the older sister was finally able to push off teasing her own weight for seemingly good! In a perfect world, this would have been a absolutely amazing day for the Kitchen Boss.
However, this recognition of Estelle’s love dug into a rare spot that soured Gloria’s mood. For all the success she had found in her business, from excessive sales and constantly thriving businesses, not once she had found true love. The closest she had gotten to that only turned into a rival Kitchen Boss, while any other relationship only managed to be a one night stand before they left her for a new eye candy.
For once, Estelle got one up on Gloria, and this time it was in a place she couldn’t conquer on her own. Seeing how sad she was getting though, Nicole was quick to try to intervene.
“Hey, why so gloomy Ms. Vandergast? Shouldn’t you be happy to hear about your sister’s new girlfriend? I know I’d be happy if my sister found someone she wanted to live her life with.”
“It’s not that… it’s more that I have no true love of my own…” Sighing as she looked down into her own reflection, Gloria tried straightening her apron as she continued to feel bad about herself. “She’s got someone who truly loves her, and all I got is a former flame who’s now competing against me in business, and a string of men who ultimately didn’t find me as attractive in the end.”
“Oh, that’s what got you down…” Walking up to her boss, Nicole let out a slight smile before patting her on the back, causing Gloria’s fat potbelly to actually jiggle for a bit. “In that case, why don’t I help you find some love for your own! I’m sure there’s at least one man who’d love to hang around you!”
“…thanks, but this is something I gotta handle myself.” Rising up from her seat, Gloria pulled out her phone as she silently begun to walk out the other exit from the dining room, into a hallway on the way to her little computer station, with Nicole briefly following her before Gloria noticed and pointed for her to go away. Now alone to think as she slowly sat in front of a computer screen, thanks to Estelle’s revelation Gloria finally realized she needed something more in order to complete herself.
She needed a lover, one who was just as dedicated as she was in regards of cooking and serving food. But how to get one…   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
