Chapter 21: Yoga Lesson

Cody's POV
So he was giving me a chance, somewhat. He was very indirect about it. But since I have a car I think gave me a better shot. A better shot to be used! I was like an uber for him, that didn't get paid! I started picking him up and driving him places. I did not get a car for this. Never have I needed to buy gas this much. But at least I got to know him a little bit. Of course not really by his mouth since he still hardly talked to me about things. But dropping him off at places helped me know somethings.

He goes to yoga when he has off days, usually during the weekends. I'm not sure if he's good at it or just there to check out girls. He goes to the book store to hang out a lot. He has to go to the laundry mat, and he likes to go to the mall here and there. He lives in a nice, small place. With who, I wouldn't know. And sure we go to the same job, but we don't always have the same hours. He also works longer and more than I do usually.

His routine was helping me know somethings about him. But it wasn't helping me get closer to him. I was just someone to pick him up and drop him off. The only way to get out of this is to break into his comfort zone. So you bet I joined yoga with him. I had no clue what to wear to yoga, all I knew is that I should probably be comfortable.

"What are you doing here?!" Ashton whisper yells at me looking around then back at me.

"What do you mean?" I ask as he glares harder at me.

"And what are you even wearing?!" he says gesturing toward my clothes.

I thought my hoodie with no sleeves was a good choice, and the sweats. My shoes maybe not, but I didn't really have any shoes that were old or raggedy to wear for this. I knew my shoes should probably be comfortable but I didn't really have comfortable footwear. That's why whenever I could I would take them off, with my socks as well, and most of my clothing as well.

"What's wrong with it?" I ask raising an eyebrow, and it seems like he was going to blow up with how red his face was getting.

But as he was opening his mouth to probably curse me out a lady spoke up, gaining all of our attention. She had black hair in tight curls. She had some curves on her, I almost whistled. Her black-white leggings and sports bra fit her perfectly. Her body was fit and her dark skin seemed to shine under the lighs.

"Get in your spots everyone!" she yells with a bright smile.

Ashton gave me a dirty look before walking off. I followed him mindlessly since I wasn't sure where to go. I snuck some more glances at the lady who seemed to be the instructor. Her dark brown eyes landed on me and her smile brighten. I swallowed as she walked our way, my way.

"I'm guessing you're new." she says looking up at me and I nod quickly. "Well, welcome." she says and look at Ashton. "Thank you for bringing a new comer, very much appreciated." she says and Ashton nods smiling a little, before she walks off.

She went back to her post in front of everyone. She faced us all and stood on her own mat. I stood on the floor near Ashton, he was on a mat. I didn't think of bringing a mat. Ashton sighed looking at me.

"I guess you're stuck here now, I'll let you borrow one of my mats since to borrow the ones here cost money." he says sighing as he walks over to a bag I assume was his.

Once I have my own mat I wait for things to get started, well actually started. I found out the instructor's name was Nija. She was a beaut that was for sure. she told us to do stretches while she gets things set up. I did jumping jacks while Ashton actually seemed to be just stretching his body parts. He stretched out his legs first and bent them. I winced a little when I heard some cracking when he stretched other body parts.

"Is there a problem?" he asks raising an eyebrow and I shake my head.

"Just hope you didn't break anything." I say and he laughs rolling his eyes.

"Okay everyone! Let's do the baby snake!" Nija announces.

"Baby snake?" I say blinking and next thing I know everyone else around me are on there stomaches.

Everyone lifts their upper body with their arms and hands, but mostly their necks and their heads were bent back a little. I decide to quickly get down and do the same. It was a bit uncomfortable. I was so happy when she told us to move on. But the next pose was us bending our stomach up in the air while our hands and feet was the only thing touching the floor. I groaned lifting up my chest and stomach as best I can. Everyone else was doing just fine especially Ashton. I saw him smirk my way.

"Are you struggling over there?" he asks stretching up further than me.

"Definitely not." I grumble trying to stretch more.

"Downward dog!" Nija yells out and I swallow as the people around me go in that pose.

I get a glance of Nija before getting into the pose myself, and possibly a glance at some other ladies in here. I end up glancing over at Ashton. My breath bitches and I quickly look away. But my eyes end up glancing over at him again.

"Stop staring you perv." I hear him say, since I can't see his face, my own face gets hot as I squeeze my eyes shut.
