Lifeguard Off Duty: Chapter 6

Written by: gainerstories

Bradley lumbered out of Muffin Tops with a box full of donuts, muffins, and coffee cake, and saddled into his car. Slipping a hand underneath his pale pink polo shirt he scratched near his belly button, a spot that had been intensely itchy the last few days. As he pulled out of the parking lot he grabbed a chocolate donut from the box and chomped down on it. Six months ago he would’ve been disgusted with the thought of purchasing a box full of pastries first thing in the morning, but lately this had become his routine. 

Bradley could no longer deny the fact that he had gotten fat. Only a few inches separated his belly from the steering wheel, and the closer he got to work the more donut crumbs collected on the crest of his gut. About fifteen pounds ago he had a minor freak out about the weight. Having avoided weighing himself for over a month, he casually stepped on the scale one day at Peter’s house and the number that appeared sent him spiralling. However, Peter quickly stepped in with words of reassurance. 

Bradley wasn’t completely obtuse to the fact that Peter was attracted to his curves. There was no denying how hard the lean stud became when he slapped Bradley’s gelatinous rear during sex, or gripped his wobbling belly as they fucked. Once in a while Peter would even playfully jiggle Bradley’s thighs or tickle his love handles. But in the midst of Bradley’s melt down, Peter lent words of encouragement, not only about how much he enjoyed the extra weight on his new boyfriend but also that he enjoyed Bradley no matter how he looked. He even confessed to helping the weight gain along with his lavish dinners. Bradley retorted with fears of ill health and ending up like Eric or Malcom, but Peter reassured him that Bradley still went to the gym and was fit. There was nothing wrong with being fat, and over time Bradley began to agree. 

Coming to terms with his newfound girth allowed him to relax a bit when it came to his diet and, not surprisingly, he gained several pounds within only a few weeks. Eric was no longer the only employee in the office who made Muffin Tops Bakery a part of their morning routine. As Bradley pulled into the parking lot of his office building he grabbed one more donut from the box and scarfed it down quickly. Although he had very obviously gained a lot of weight, he still didn’t feel entirely comfortable pigging out too much in front of the whole office. 

Even still, by the end of the day only crumbs remained in his box of pastries. The days events left Bradley particularly exhausted come 5pm and although it was his usual leg day at the gym, he decided to forgo working out. Ever since Peter and Bradley had become an official couple they were spending most nights together, and this evening was no different. They each had a key to the other’s place and Bradley could usually count on returning home from a long day’s work to a full course meal. Not surprisingly, as he stepped into his apartment savory aromas encompassed him. 

“Woah there sexy,” Peter exclaimed upon seeing his lover. “Putting on a show are we?”

“No more than usual my dear.”

“Oh I think there’s more than usual! This isn’t on purpose?”

“What do you mean?”

“Your belly’s hanging out of that shirt a good two inches, babe,” Peter grabbed his boyfriend’s bulk and gave it a rough squeeze. 

“Holy shit, I had no idea. I didn’t feel a thing! Fuck, I hope it wasn’t like this all day.”

“This shirt is practically the color of your skin, so I bet no one would even notice.”

After dinner and a sexy romp in the bedroom the couple passed out curled up in one another’s arms. Bradley awoke the next morning to his stomach growling. Wobbling naked to the kitchen he grabbed some leftovers from the fridge and inhaled them still half asleep. Twenty minutes and a frothy shower later he was squeezing into a pair of new black denim pants. Despite fitting like a glove, they were still uncomfortable as the stiffness of waistband chafed against his muffin top. Bradley grabbed a button-up with a grid pattern from his closet and sucked in as he did the buttons. The shirt left little to the imagination, but he was past the point of caring. 

As he waited in line at Muffin Tops Bakery his stomach began to growl again. His appetite was in overdrive lately and gazing upon baked goods did not help. As he licked his lips considering what to order a familiar face appeared before him. It was Diego, one of his former employees when he was head lifeguard about a year ago. Although Bradley had fired Diego for gaining too much weight, he was still shocked to see Diego’s body. After all this time, it looked like Diego’s physique had never bounced back. 

“Diego?” Bradley said. 

Diego stared at Bradley with a look of befuddlement. 

“Diego… it’s me, Bradley. Your former boss.”

“Oh my god, Bradley. You…” 

Bradley felt his face flush red as he realized that he’d grown unrecognizably fat. Awkwardly acknowledging the situation, he replied, ““Yeah, you’re not the only one who got thick.”

“I… well, I mean, yeah married life and running a bakery has done a number on my waistline,” Diego said with a profound confidence as he gripped both sides of his fattened belly and gave it a hearty jiggle. 

Bradley was taken aback by Diego’s confidence and somewhat flirtatious demeanor and decided to play along, “No shit, you run this place? That’s amazing dude, I live for your peanut brittle. Come here a few times a week before work. I uh, got promoted to an office position at city hall… Hence this gut hangin’ off of me.”

Bradley watched Diego’s eyes lustfully scan his own body as he scanned Diego’s. Judging by Diego’s upper body, it appeared he was still hitting the weights at the gym but avoiding any cardio. The former lifeguard had impressively broad shoulders and a bulky chest, albeit covered in a layer of fat criss crossed with stretch marks. A flimsy muscle tee draped over his shoulders exposed the majority of his upper body and clung tightly to his round muscle gut. Bradley was nowhere near skinny, but Diego’s gut put his own to shame. 

“Hey Adrian, give my friend here the employee discount from now on,” Diego shouted and turned to face Bradley. “From one former lifeguard to another: you look better with some chunk, Bradley,” Diego said and patted Bradley’s belly. “I gotta head out but I’ll see you around. Enjoy yourself,” he said with a wink.

Bradley was shocked and slightly aroused. He turned around and watched as Diego’s ass, barely concealed beneath skimpy basketball shorts, wobbled out of the bakery.
