Pre A/N: What's better than having John stalking from across the room? Somehow he makes it appealing when normally it's creepy. Then again, most people believe he has a shrine of all the photos he took of her. I would love to see that. Enjoy:)

Chapter 10 - Across the Room
Joss couldn't believe that John had followed her to the bar where she was going to have a friendly round of drinks with Shaw. There was no need for him to look out for her since she was in the company of a friend. So why was he here? It was off putting at first because Joss could feel his gaze, even when she was engrossed in conversation about Nanos and other fire arm preferences.
When Shaw's attention was diverted, Joss chanced a glance in John's direction. She was taken aback when her eyes caught his before she saw him smile, one that she returned quickly. Something about knowing that she had John's attention sparked a small fire of arousal in her lower belly. Joss broke contact to look back at Shaw, not in the mood for her teasing over what she called something more than friendship between her and John.
When the bar announced last call, the two women exited with John following a good distance behind. He hadn't intended to look at Joss so much but he couldn't help but be amazed by how beautiful she looked and not just her outer beauty. John was dazzled by Joss herself as a person. She was someone that he had no business knowing but they had somehow crossed paths thanks to a guy named Anton and he was never the same since. His eyes always found themselves on her, appraising her body movements and facial expressions. John just loved looking at her because he never thought that such a thing could exist as an angel on Earth but that's what she was.
He continued to follow with his eyes as Joss and Shaw split up just in front of her brownstone apartment. Once she was out of sight, Joss looked over at John with another smile before heading inside. Once he knew she was safely home, John began making his way home with a smile gracing his own features.
