“There’s this new invention, you know,” he says. “It’s called a clock. Helps you be on time. You should try one.”
I try to steady my breathing and keep my voice cool as I respond, ignoring his dig.
"Well I usually set the alarm on my phone, but that option is under water.”
He’s wearing a smug look that makes me want to slap him. There's also something else in his gaze, something that makes my heart race and my body heat up.
He leans in and whispers close to my ear. “Studies do statistically show that you sleep better when you aren’t looking at screens before bed.”
I shake my head. “Thanks, Harvard. Studies also statistically show that you’re an asshole.”
We notice a man standing next to us’s ear perk up, probably trying to piece together what our dialogue is about.
“Or, maybe you slept well because you were…”
The man is now actively looking and listening at us.
“Finally able to get into that special yoga pose.”
“I don’t recall that,” I say.
“You know. The one your boyfriend couldn’t quite make happen for you.”
The man, who has longish hair and green eyes, approaches us.
“Which pose are you talking about?”
“It’s called the flying raven pose.” Jack says.
I internally roll my eyes. Here we go.
“My name is Brian, by the way.” We tell him our names. “What’s that pose look like?”
“It’s Amelia’s favorite pose. She’ll gladly demonstrate it for you. Amelia? Show him.”
My cheeks turn beet red.
I shoot Jack a look that lets him know I’m going to get him back for this.
“Actually, Jack should demonstrate flying raven pose. He’s so good at it.”
I bite my lower lip, stifling a laugh.
“If you’re feeling shy, I certainly will. It’s like this.”
Jack gets down on all fours and leans back a little bit.
“Now you’ve really got to get into it here. Just let it go.”
He then kneels with his knees spread.
Jack actuallymimicsme riding his face. It’s all I can do to keep myself from laughing uncontrollably.
“This is the heart of the flying raven pose. Just like this.” He grins.
Brian looks at Jack puzzledly.
“And it makes you…sleep better?”
