Joss entered the room that was designated for yoga classes, needing the relaxation after the crappy week she had with dead bodies dropping like flies, new numbers to help John with, and trying to figure out what her boy was up to. It had to be related to her impending birthday next week. Knowing John, he was in on it too; she should pretend to be surprised to make her boys feel better.
She smiled at a few ladies she had gotten to know that frequented the same class she did; Julie and Amber were sweethearts and it was nice to be just one of the girls.
"Hey ladies, how about we do lunch, my treat?" she offered. John was busy with Finch, Shaw, and Root doing something illegal she was sure.
"Sounds perfect," Julie agreed readily, her long flowing blond hair was quickly being tugged into a high ponytail.
"And you'll dish on the man that gave you that glow?—you're positively radiant!" Amber demanded.
Joss smirked, "I don't kiss and tell," she replied with a wink.
"Ooh," Julie sang. "We need to liquor you up!"
Joss giggled as she rolled out her yoga mat next to Julie's and waited for their instructor. Amber looked to the door and squeaked. "Oh my god, hot guy incoming!" Amber cried as she discreetly tried to fix her untamable curls.
Joss and Julie both turned to see how cute the guy was. Joss tried to not use John as a measuring stick since it just wouldn't be fair, but her jaw dropped open as John was the hot guy that strode past all the gaping women and headed straight for the front of the class.
"I'm sorry, but Erica asked me to fill in for her as she had an emergency. My name is John," he murmured with eyes on her.
Joss thinned her lips as she glared at John. "What kind of emergency?" she snapped.
She thought she saw a twitch of his lips perk up. "She didn't say. Let's begin today in child's pose," he murmured as he looked around the class and tried to not feel a little unnerved by the looks he was receiving. This was the last time he was flipping a coin with Shaw, he always seemed to lose but he caught sight of his number: Julie, who was next to Joss.
Joss groaned as it seemed everyone had suddenly gone stupid as they just stood staring and salivating at John. She exhaled. "Child's pose people!" she exclaimed as she got down to the mat to do the position which seemed to spur everyone else into action.
As everyone stretched their arms above their heads, heads down, and eyes closed, Joss shot John a look which he promptly mouthed 'thank you' to her and she sighed. Now her relaxing yoga class was going to be anything but.
