The ride home

The ride back to Rose’s house was strangely quiet, with everyone deep into their own thoughts.

Emma was thinking that Johnni must have been emotionally broken by the fact that the father of her daughter had abandoned them and that she had become seriously withdrawn. Emma made the decision then and there that she would do everything in her power to bring Johnni out of her shell.

Rose, however, was beginning to think that John actually enjoyed being Johnni. She never remembered John smiling as much as he was in the club. And the fact that he agreed to involve himself in so many activities as Johnni practically cemented the idea in Rose’s mind.

John, for his part, was thinking how soon this would be over. All he needed to do was survive the trip back to his car. Once he was home, all he needed to do was lay low for a few days until the makeup he was wearing finally wore off. The nails might take a little longer, but he’d figure that out later. If he needed anything he could always order online, saving him the embarrassment of going out looking like he did.

Emma was the one to break the silence. “So Johnni, what did you think of the club?”

“It was amazing. All the women there really seemed to support each other,” John said truthfully.

“That’s what we do! And since you’re now a member, you’ll get the same support too,” Emma replied. “As women, we need to look out for each other.”

John wanted to scream that he wasn’t a woman, but he didn’t want to get Rose into trouble. Besides, knowing the way he looked right now, anyone would find it hard to believe. Instead he swallowed his pride and simply said, “That’s true.”

“I’m glad you feel that way! I knew you would be a great addition to the club! Well, here we are,” Emma said as she slowed down to turn in Rose’s driveway.

Once the van was parked, John and Rose set about getting their kids out of the back. John was struggling with the seatbelt holding the car seat, so he wasn’t paying attention when Emma said, “And don’t worry about not having a job Johnni, I’m sure one of the ladies would be happy to help!”

“Awesome,” John said as he finally unbuckled the seat belt. Before he could ask Emma what she said, Rose jumped in.

“Thanks for the ride Emma, but I’m sure Johnni wants to get home and get her daughter to bed.”

“Yes, the little ones tend to get cranky when they haven’t had their naps. I’ll talk to you later then,” Emma said as she put the van in drive and pulled away.

As Rose was turning around to speak with John, Derick walked out of the front door. “Glad to see you girls back safely. Spend a bit of money then,” he asked with a little laugh.

“Don’t worry hun,” Rose said, “I didn’t spend any money.”

“That’s good,” Derick said sternly. Looking directly at Rose, he continued, “why don’t you head inside and I’ll help Johnni.”

Rose knew that tone of voice. “Sure hun.”

Derick acted the perfect gentleman, helping John to secure Alison in the back seat. Once that was done, Derick placed his hand on John ass and squeezed. “So Johnni, is that a new top you’re wearing,” he asked, staring down at John’s cleavage.

Not having ever been in a situation like this, John didn’t pull away, he was too stunned to move. “Um, no, it’s not,” he replied in a soft voice.

“It’s very sexy on you,” Derick said. “I wonder what the rest of you looks like in those baggy pants.”

Before John could respond, Derick’s phone rang. “I need to take this.”

John took the opportunity to immediately get in his car and leave. He couldn’t believe Derick felt up his ass again. Disgusted with the situation, John drove home, thinking to take a shower and clean the unwanted attention away.

Once John got home and got his daughter to sleep, he noticed that they were nearly out of formula. Ordering some online, John got undressed to take a shower. Once in the shower, he just let the water wash over his body. He figured he’d take a proper shower in the morning.

After drying himself off and blowing his hair dry, he fell exhausted into bed.
