Mandy hates when people comment on her muscles. SHE is pretty proud of them and how strong she is, but 99% of the time when people comment on it, it's not complimentary. it's similar to the way Alicia feels about her weight. She's confident in her pretty, squishy body, but that doesn't mean she wants every rando commenting on her weight
Mandy's story
Alicia's story:
âAlicia?!â
âSorry, Iâm just feeling a little queasy,â I mumble, but Iâm not sure my sickness is loud enough for him to hear me.
I take my measurements quickly - almost certainly getting them wrong - and leave the measuring tape on Kattarâs bed. Heâll almost certainly be annoyed - but I have to just deal with that today-
âTook you long enough,â Kattar smiles a little teasingly as I drag myself back into the living room.
âIâve gained a few inches,â I mutter, sitting at the opposite end of the couch, not looking him in the face.
I watch out of the corner of my eye as heâs washed in-
Worry-
About me, please.
Iâm not okay.
âIs that something to cry over, bella?â he smiles nervously, putting one hand to my burning cheek and trying to get me to look at him - and his words start to mesh into each other-
Itâs just the accent - But thatâs not what I hear.
â-It wouldnât kill you to gain a few pounds. Youâd lost too much weight back then.â
âAish,â I shake my head trying to shake off my anxiety, but it clings to me like - âYou sound like a motherâŚâ
âAhhhh, that wonât do,â he shakes his head, cringing a little, âWhat should I say then? I prefer my sweetheart a little softer.â
âNot on your life,â I redden through the discomfort, âThatâs too bad. Donât go starting trouble.â
