Concave Belly Peril 3

…….Although it only felt so faint upon her skin, a thinning wave of water rode up the sands of the beach on this clear, sunny day and graced her lower back and neck almost as if they were caressing hands. After a few seconds, Julie’s eyes fluttered open, and she slowly, sleepily stretched and looked around. Her ribs protruded as she sucked her stomach in slowly while she stretched. The brightly lit beach appeared to be empty, so she looked down to sit herself up properly. As she looked down, she saw that her belly was still sucked in deeply. “Odd,” she thought to herself. “It usually goes back to normal after I relax my stomach muscles.” Then, she noticed that she was in a bikini. And not in any normal bikini. It was that pink one which she bought for the sole reason to show herself off a bit at her birthday party and see if anyone might actually like her at all. It was odd, though. As much as she had wanted the guys to look at her the same way they looked at her friends, she also wanted to show it off to Chelsey as well. Perhaps it wasn’t just a weird feeling she had felt so many years ago…….

It looked to her as if she was alone at first, until she saw…….

Chelsey was walking towards her, in such a slow fashion that it might as well be slow motion. She was wearing a bikini as well, although hers was a green color, and just like Julie, she seemed to be perpetually stuck with her beautiful tummy pulled far inwards. Chelsey was also very wet, though, and droplets of water slid down her whole body as she walked. Julie stared at her friend, almost mesmerized by the way Chelsey’s hips swayed back and forth, and her vision seemed to zoom in as she looked at her friend’s belly. Small droplets of water slid down gracefully, some riding the entire edge of her protruding ribs until they fell the rest of the way down her side, some falling erratically down her belly in every which downward direction, and some falling straightly and squarely down the middle, pooling into her bellybutton, then sliding the rest of the way down and disappearing into the bottom half of her bikini in the most beautiful way.

Then, everything seemed to change. The beach sand turned into tiles, the sky faded and turned into an archway, and Julie was suddenly looking straightly at a pool, and beyond it, a small field of grass. It was now her backyard. She looked around in a slightly dazed fashion, and noticed that a few of her friends were around her. All of them were smiling.

“Loving the party, Julie! Can’t wait to go see that movie later!”

Julie looked at the friend who was talking to her. “Thanks, Kirsten! Oh, and thanks for getting some extra napkins for the cake! I can’t believe Alex dropped that huge pile of them into the pool!”

Alex tapped her from behind, and she swung around to look at him.

“Hey, I was bringing some over for these guys when Chelsey shoved me in from behind! You can’t be blaming me for everything, Julie!”

Julie smiled at this, and turned to the left to look at her friend. Chelsey, though, was looking down and in Julie’s direction. Strangely enough, it was about the 7th time that day that Julie had noticed her friend doing this. When she realized that she had been mentioned and was now being looked at, she looked up quickly and awkwardly, smiled at her friend, then looked at Alex, whose hand she was holding.

Julie felt something odd the second her eyes laid on the two hands being held together. It was almost jealousy, but Julie didn’t know for sure if that was what it was. She had felt a similar feeling when she saw guys that she liked going out with other people, but it somehow felt different now. It had always seemed to her like it was a feeling of devotion to a good friend who had always been there, even when no one else was. But perhaps…….

“So anyways, where’s Ted?” Julie looked around while she asked this, in search of the tall, handsome boy who she had had a crush on for so long. She wanted to get him alone if she could…….

Alex, a good friend of Ted’s, answered quickly. “Oh, Ted said that he was going to the bathroom, he’ll be out in a second.”

“Oh, Ok. Hey, could I borrow your girlfriend for a sec? I just wanna ask her something.”

“Keep her, if you’d like. She’s been giving me way too much trouble, eh, Chelsey?” He nudged Chelsey as he said this, while Chelsey had been frowning at Julie’s curiosity about Ted. When Alex nudged her, though, she aimed her frown at Alex and nudged him back.

Julie and Chelsey found their way to Julie’s room, knowing that their privacy was assured as everyone else was outside. Chelsey plotted herself on the large beanbag in the corner closest to Julie’s bed.

“So, what’s up Julie?”

“Well,” Julie said as she sat down on the edge of her bed, facing Chelsey, “I thought about it for a long time, and…….and I really like Ted. He’s not just attractive, though. He’s nice to me. He’s different from the other guys I’ve liked. I think that he might like me the same way, too. You’ve known him for a few months, haven’t you, you hang out with him when you’re with Alex every once in a while, don’t you? I’ve actually had him in my Statistics class for the last year. Do you think you know who he likes? .......Or if he might like me?”

Chelsey stared blankly at her friend. She was in her bikini and wearing shorts, and at the angle she was at, some of her belly slightly rolled over the tight shorts. Though skinny, her belly nevertheless did this whenever her lower garments were more tight than they should be. She stretched a little bit and put her arms behind her head to more comfortably rest against the beanbag. As she did this, though, her tummy sucked in and her ribs became clear and visible for Julie to see. She turned her head away from Julie as she thought quietly to herself.

In all her time having known Chelsey, Julie had never seen her friend do something like that with her belly. She would know, too: for the last few years, she had become more and more interested in her friend’s belly and had placed as much attention on it as she could without being noticed. She had seen Chelsey stretch in shirts short enough to ride up her belly, watched her knot up shirts under the heat of the sun or even just for fun, peeked at her friend’s belly while she was asleep when they had sleepovers…….yet never before had she seen her friend’s belly do something so amazing as this before. She had to make an effort to keep her jaw from dropping even slightly.

Chelsey stayed in this position for a while, and although Julie did not know why, she wanted her friend to stay in this position as long as possible. It was more awe than anything before this when she watched her friend’s belly, but this time she felt something which she had…….never felt, at least with a girl, and she felt a little awkward and timid about it. Especially feeling this way with her best friend made her feel uncomfortable, but she could not deny or stop this feeling which she had, and she kept staring at Chelsey’s belly.

“Julie,” As Chelsey abruptly said this and turned to her friend, Julie quickly averted her attention, fumbling her fingers and pretending to look at her nails, which she and Chelsey had worked on earlier before the party. “Julie, I would say that I know him pretty well, and I have known him for a while. He is not interested in anyone as far as I know, but…….I don’t know if I would ask him. He might be a nice guy, but…….”

“…….But what?”

Chelsey obviously had no reason to feel this way about Julie’s prospects with Ted, and Julie could never really understand why exactly she always tried to come up with an excuse as to why she should date a guy. Chelsey continued. “Well, you might not be compatible…….”

“You said you knew him well. How are we incompatible?”

“You know what? Don’t blame me if it turns out to not work out. Has it worked out yet? When you’ve tried before, has it ever worked out?”

Julie, for some reason, was getting really angry at Chelsey. “No, but this time it could be diff—”

“Oh, really, it’ll be different? That’s a new one, Julie. Each time you this happens say that, and each time it comes out another way, doesn’t it?”

“Yeah, but—l”

“I think that you should just wait a while longer, see if someone comes along who is better for you, so you’ll—”

“Maybe I don’t WANT to wait! MAYBE I WANT TO SEE IF THIS GUY IS THE GUY FOR ME! MAYBE YOU SHOULD LET ME MAKE MY OWN DECISIONS! I may have asked you for your opinion, but I expect SOME small amount of optimism! WHY is it always ‘Oh, it won’t work out Julie.’ ‘He’s not the right one, Julie.’ ‘Always expect bad results, Julie…….’” Her voice eventually calmed down. She stared at Chelsey for a second. Her friend looked back with a half-surprised look which had faded throughout Julie’s outburst to a slightly guilty expression. Chelsey began to lower her head, and appeared to be fighting with herself about whether she should say something.

Julie, after a long pause, continued. “Well…….I’m sorry I burst out like that, but I don’t want to be alone forever. For once, I’m going to put myself out there and not sit around waiting until he talks to me. Unless YOU like him, I don’t see any reason to not go through with just talking to him.”

Chelsey looked back up at Julie when she said this. “No, it’s not that…….”

Julie looked into her friend’s eyes, half wishing that she could tell what exactly was bothering her friend so much about this whole thing. Chelsey couldn’t manage to say another single word.

Julie began to stand up as Chelsey watch her friend’s tummy ever so slightly roll over the rim of her bikini bottom, and walked toward the door. She looked back and saw Chelsey still sitting in the beanbag, staring at where Julie had been sitting only a few seconds ago…….


                                      ***


…….Julie felt like she nauseous. The hallway was reeling as she walked in a fast and oddly steady pace back to her room. All she needed was some time alone, by herself…….

As she forced open the door, she was abruptly surprised to see Chelsey had been in there the whole time. Chelsey swung around. She had been looking at a bunch of old pictures of the two of them which were hung on a bulletin board by Julie’s window. The one which she had been looking at before Julie had stormed in was one of the two of them in bellyshirts for the first time. Chelsey had taken a picture of the two of them together and had managed to get a full camera shot of both their tummies and their heads.

Julie looked at Chelsey for a second, then just walked past her and sat down on her bed, facing her friend. She looked down at the floor, and she was shaking all over.

Chelsey just stared at Julie and knew that it had gone horribly, worse than anyone could have imagined. Her friend began to speak.

“…….He yelled at me. He started yelling about how I was using him and messing with him. Whenever I asked what he was talking about, he said, ‘you know exactly what I’m talking about.’” It was difficult for Julie to talk, it felt as if she had a lump in her throat. She only barely spoke above a whisper. “…….I don’t get it. I thought that he liked me. I felt as if I had finally found the one person who could like me…….who could love me the same way that I loved them.” She paused for a second, oddly aware of the fact that she had said “them” instead of him. “…….I didn’t even get to say a single word before he burst out yelling at me…….I guess I SHOULD just wait until I can find that someone…….”

She felt as if she might burst into tears any second now, but then Chelsey stood up and walked straight out of the room. Julie barely lifted her head up as Chelsey left the room, and her mind began swirling with thoughts over the next couple of minutes, each one entering and exiting too quickly for Julie to recall. After a few minutes Chelsey returned and sat down next to Julie, wiping tears from her eyes and attempting to compose herself. “Well…….Alex and Ted left.”

Julie looked up slowly at her friend. After a second, she slowly reached over and hugged Chelsey. No matter what Chelsey had just done, Julie thought, she had done it for her.

“Thanks, Chelsey.”

“Julie…….JULIE! Wake up, you sissy!”

Chelsey was trying to wake up Julie as quickly as she could, shaking and at times lightly slapping Julie on the face. It came to no avail, however, and she turned back to listen to the conversation up above. The lab assistant had begun speaking again.

“Yes, it could be the tarantulas, Doctor, but not to worry, gentlemen. We have given you special plastic covers on your shoes for a reason. They are actually blind due to an accidental side affect, so don’t make a loud sound and they won’t notice you. Just don’t let your skin make contact with their fangs. They are tipped with acid, but they only go after small prey, about the size of mice.”

Chelsey’s eyes widened. She looked at Julie, and then looked behind in the direction which they had come from. She could hear that faint crawling noise getting louder and louder, so she looked back down at Julie. Picking her friend up from underneath, she carried her friend along, looking for a way to hide or at least get out of the tunnel. She had dragged along for a few steps when she tried to lean against the wall and more properly adjust Julie on her back. She almost fell into the small crevice which was in the wall. Looking inside, Chelsey realized that it seemed like it could fit them, but just barely so. She looked behind her and saw that the tarantulas were not in sight, but she heard them getting louder and she did not know when the next opportunity would present itself. Putting Julie in first, she tried to crawl into the small crevice. She couldn’t completely fit in, so she attempted to turn around and shift Julie into a position in which they could fit as one on top of the other. She managed to make it so that they could both lay down with their backs to the inside wall of the crevice, Julie on bottom, Chelsey on top so that she could hopefully save Julie from any harm. Chelsey felt that they should be safe, but she attempted to now adjust herself so that she was better fitting on top. She slightly jumped when she heard something from behind, turning to see Julie with a smile on her face and moaning happily. Chelsey turned back around. “This is no time to get horny, Jules.”

Then she heard something which frightened her greatly.

Nothing.

Chelsey was completely still. She did not make a sound. Then, a slow scattering sound approached where Chelsey and Julie were hiding and a big monstrous figure stopped in front of the crevice. To Chelsey’s ever growing horror, a single fang slowly penetrated the opening of the crevice and lowered downward toward Chelsey’s bellybutton. It continued down slowly, and just when it was about to touch the bottom of Chelsey’s navel, she sucked in her belly so that it once again pulled away at the same speed as the object coming towards her belly. Her ribs became more prominent than ever before. Her tummy was now sucked in as far as she felt she could. The fang lingered just a few millimeters above her vulnerable bellybutton. Then, it began lowering again. Chelsey, beginning to sweat from nervousness, didn’t know what to do. She was almost certain that this could be the end.

Then, from underneath her, Julie faintly moaned once again and sucked her own belly in as she slightly stretched. To Chelsey’s surprise, she lowered ever so slightly. Both Julie and Chelsey now had their bellies sucked in deeply, as much as they both thought possible, and it was just enough to be out of the reach of the tarantula’s fang’s reach. Julie kept her stomach sucked in, and Chelsey hoped above all else that Julie would keep it that way long enough. She dared not look away from that fang, and she watched and sweated even more as it finally stopped just above her bellybutton. Sure enough, after a whole minute in that same position, their bellies mutually managed to save Chelsey’s poor bellybutton from being eaten away by the acidic touch of that fang.

And just as the fang lifted away from Chelsey’s bellybutton, Julie’s belly went back to normal. After a few seconds, to let the fang go far enough away that she wouldn’t touch it accidentally, Chelsey let out her tummy as well. The tarantula walked on, and as Chelsey watched quietly, she saw that there were at least 2 others behind the one which had almost touched her, walking along with the lead one. When she was quite sure that they were far enough away that they were safe, she sighed heavily and turned back to Julie.

“Well, looks like you saved us both with your stretching.” Julie got that same coy smile that she had on her face earlier, and Chelsey sighed. “And your horniness. You’ll need to tell me what you were thinking about this whole time when you wake up.”
