"But you're telling me I'm just a friend… telling me I'm just a friend… But you say I'm just a friend"-Mario version


Joss gripped her wine glass and tentatively swallowed the wine in her mouth. She gently sat the glass down on the counter as she watched John move about her home making sure it was safe. She rolled her eyes as she took her shoes off and headed she changed and showered she made her way back downstairs to eat a snack. She paused at the base of the stairs as she saw John sitting on the couch in her living room looking ready to shoot anyone who came into her house.

Joss placed her hands on her hips, "John what are you still doing here?"

"Making sure you're safe," John replied

Joss rolled her eyes "Ian's not a threat,…and I'm sure your 'Wife' is worried about you,… you can go, your 'Just Friend' can take care of herself."

Joss made her way into her kitchen; she opened her freezer, grabbed a tub of chocolate ice cream and a spoon and sat down. She poured herself another glass of wine as she ate her ice cream. As she reached out to pick up the wine glass another hand removed it from her grasp.

Joss glared at John as he sat down next to her and drank some of her wine. Then he grabbed her spoon and ate some of her ice cream. The whole time he sat there he kept smirking at her with that annoying twinkle in his eyes.

She ignored him and snatched her spoon and ice cream back. After she had her fill she put the ice cream and the rest of the wine away. She rinsed off her spoon and poured out the rest of the wine glass, put both dishes in the sink and headed off to bed.

As soon as she tried to leave the kitchen John stood up and blocked her path.

"John move!...I have to go to bed… my shift starts at 6:00AM"

When he didn't move Joss put her hands against his chest and tried to push him out of the way. John gripped her wrist gently, pulled her close and smiled. He tilted his head to the side and looked at her.

Joss pouted and sized him up, funny; she never noticed how short she was compared to him until now "John!...let me go."

"No…I don't ever want to let you go Joss."

Joss narrowed her eyes at John, she was about to kick him in the balls if he didn't let her go to bed.

"Joss you do know that Zoe's not my real wife…in fact I haven't seen her professionally or otherwise in a very long time…but if you insist on calling her my wife…does that mean that we'd be committing adultery if I kissed you right now."

She couldn't stop herself as laughed at his stupid joke.
