The Invitation Part 5

"Weird. Really weird. My feet couldn't cope with the heels, I could
feel the dress around my legs and as for the boobs juggling around ..."

"Welcome to the fun world of being a girl honey!"

"Temporarily," he reminded her.

"Yes, just for a few hours. But I think you'll enjoy it!"

They walked along the streets of Victorian terraces arm in arm, Sally
teasing him every step of the way about the big masculine man now wearing a
dress and walking around in heels. After a few minutes they arrived at the
off licence and Sally went in. For a second or two Jack considered waiting
outside but changed his mind as he saw two teenaged boys coming towards him
and running their eyes up and down his figure.

"Hi Sally," the owner called to her as Jack entered the shop. Typical,
thought Jack to himself. He never says hello to me, the dirty old sod.
"How are you?"

"Great thanks Tony," she replied. "Off to a party at a friend's house
and just need a couple of bottles of the house plonk!"

"Girls' night out, huh?" he asked. "No Jack tonight?"

Well, at least he knows my name, thought Jack.

"Spot on. He's at home with some football match or other. Just us
girls tonight," Sally laughed.

"Sounds like fun. And who is this picture of loveliness with you?"

"This is Julie and behave yourself you lecher - she's way too young for
you!" Sally quipped.

"I'll be on my best behaviour!" Tony replied. "Hi, how are you Julie?"

Jack just smiled.

"Have we met before?" Tony asked. "You look really familiar."

Jack could feel the colour draining from his cheeks. This was it. He
wasn't at all convincing and the guy from the local wine merchant was about
to piece it all together.

"No surprise there - she's Jack's little sister." he heard Sally say.
"Down to the big city!"
