“Are you ok (iynh)?” the man says.
You look up to see Dan one of your dad’s best friends kneeling next to you - without knowing what to do you sit up and hug him and begin to cry.
“Hey, hey lil buddy, it’s ok now - big Dan's here to help,” Dan says.
Dan helps you up and dries your tears away for you.
“Now tell me what happened,” Dan says.
'Ummm, I.....I was walking......an...and he grabbed mmm....me and pulled me down here.....he pushed me against...th...the wall and took everything.......my phone, wallet, keys and......something that I had just bought, then he dropped me and started kicking me in the stomach,” you say still shaken from the events.
“Ah god dammit - if I ever catch him I’ll tear him apart!” Dan says, “look lil buddy I know no one is back at yours so how's 'bout I take you back to my place and clean ya up huh?”
You nod and head back to Dan's truck - on the way there isn't a lot of talk just bits here and there mainly focusing on how you are after the incident.
You look around at Dan - he's always been a big guy at 6'4 and at last you heard he was 350lbs - you thought the trucker life has been good to him - you notice though that he does look bigger but you decide not to say anything.
You arrive back at his across the road from your house - he gets out and walks round to help you out - you feel a little weak so Dan picks you up and carry's you inside. He places you down on the sofa and goes to get you a glass of water and at the same time gets himself a beer.
He sits next to you and puts his hand on your shoulder - you lay your head on him and feel more comfortable - you try and resist the urge to rub his huge belly that is right next to you - your curiosity is greatly increasing - wondering how much he weighs, what his belly feels like and other questions.
“You doing ok down there?” Dan says.
“Yeah I’m a lot better, thanks,” you say.
“Sorry if this things in the way!” Dan says slapping his belly,” I guess I don't know my own appetite, just keeps gettin' bigger.”
You smile, “Ah it’s ok Dan, if you don't mind me saying you do look a bit bigger.”
“Yeah that last trip was long, so they let me stay down there for a week I guess I pigged out a lot more than I thought,” Dan says and laughs making his belly shake.
“Hahahaha, looks like it, how much you weighing in at these days - last time Dad said you were around 350,” you say.
'Oooh boy I think I’m way past that now, but I dunno what I weigh at the moment, if you’re up to it we can go check, I think I’m gunna need someone to look at the numbers anyway cause hell will of frozen over before I can see 'em ever again,” Dan says laughing.
“Sure thing Dan,” you say.
The two of you head upstairs to Dan's room and into his ensuite bathroom. He bends down to get the scales away from the wall making his t-shirt ride up his back and revealing part of his love handles - you gaze deeply until he stands up.
“Ok, here we go!” Dan says treading on the scales.
You move round to his front and bend down to see the numbers as they go up.
“Well (iynh), what's the damage?” Dan asks.
How much does Dan weigh now?
