The Aroma of Roma, pt. 15

After a few minutes, we had returned to my—well, OUR house now, and I unlocked and opened the door. Immediately, Audrey ran upstairs, shaking the house with her bulk, and unpacked her things in the guest bedroom in which she had previously stayed. When she returned, she almost instantly picked up the smell of food again; I had begun fixing up an extra-special breakfast, as a way of welcoming the skunk girl to my home, this time to stay. 20 minutes or so later, the preparations were completed, as well as the food, and upon seeing the amazing spread, Audrey began drooling; bacon, sausage, biscuits, pancakes and such were obviously included, as well as eggs and ham. To top it off, we also had an ample supply of water, orange juice, and soft drinks which we always kept close by. We agreed on one thing: there was no sense letting all of this go to waste. “Let’s eat!”

Almost as soon as we reached this consensus, we had begun eating; as always, Audrey felt no shame making a pig out of herself, scarfing down eggs and bacon at a remarkable rate. Well, not TOO remarkable for a glutton of Audrey’s stature. Between mouthfuls of food, Audrey giggled and said, “Hey *gulp* Jordan, *mrph* I’m probably gonna *smack* need a good belly rub after *BURP* all this food... Ya up for it?” She winked, already knowing my answer. I felt it was unnecessary to say “yes”, since we both were thinking it; I simply winked back, chuckling.

Several minutes later, as much of the food as we could eat (which was pretty much all of it) was gone; Audrey smiled and drummed her fingers on her belly, which bulged proudly from the huge breakfast. I walked over to her, and gently rubbed her belly, kneading it with my fingers and relishing each loud *BUUURRRP* or crude *FFRRRRT* that escaped from her while I did so. She seemed to enjoy it too; she sighed in contentment, and giggled whenever my rubbing came close to her belly button. “Heh, y’know, Jordan... Now that I’m living here, I’m really gonna stink up the place...” Smiling, I noted to myself that already, her smell was beginning to fill the house’s first floor, and would soon reach the second. I replied, “Something I look forward to, my beautiful darling.” Audrey smiled, blushing again. “Aww, you’re so sweet...”

“I was thinkin’, though...” the skunk continued, which made me curious. What was she thinking? Granted we were good friends, but I was still left to guess. When Audrey revealed what she was thinking, it was quite a shock to me. “What if we were to, you know, go out to eat some time?” This question struck me almost like a thunderbolt. Out to eat? As in, at a restaurant? With OTHER PEOPLE? That was a situation I normally would have tried to avoid; who knows what people would say if they saw us together?

Again I resolved that I didn’t care about what others said, and nodded. “Sure! Any specific time and place, or...?” Audrey smiled and said, “Maybe for dinner tonight? As for the place, I’ll let you decide.” I replied, “Well, I do know a few good restaurants that we could go to...” Audrey grinned. “They got food?” I just chuckled. “They sure do. Quite a lot of it.” The skunk smirked. “Good! We’re gonna need a lot to fill OUR bellies!”

I was pretty much positive that she would eat way more than I could, and I smirked back at her. “But what should we do in the meantime?” Audrey answered, smiling, “Hmm, how about we go upstairs and play some video games?” I grinned and said, “Sounds like a plan. We should probably get ready to go about 7:30 or so...” The skunkette nodded, and slowly got up, her belly sloshing softly as it jiggled about. “Race ya!” she called, laughing and heading for the stairs as quickly as she could. I followed, chuckling to myself. “This is gonna be an interesting evening...”

We played games and watched TV until about 7:00, at which time both of us remembered the plan we’d made. I put on some casual clothes, and Audrey decided to go as she was. I did know one thing: I was definitely going to see about buying her new clothes. She’d definitely need them soon if she continued eating like she did.

At 7:30, we headed off towards a nearby restaurant. Audrey’s belly growled in anticipation, and she just smiled at me. I smiled back, knowing that Audrey wouldn’t be hungry for long...

...I hoped.
