His Only Angel [h.s.]

Chapter 9

Thea Parker

"It's simple darling," Liam starts, "All you have to do is put both fists up and focus on your target." He finishes and my eyes widen.

"I-I don't think I can do this." I tell him.

Harry decided that it would be best to teach me how to fight so he arranged for me to train with Liam and the boys which I didn't mind but I would have felt more comfortable if he was the one teaching me but he had had some business to take care of. Sighing I shake my head which caused Liam to sigh.

"Listen Thea, I know this all seems new to you but you have to understand that there will come a time that we will not be able to protect you so you'll have to learn yourself." He says.

"What the hell? Don't tell her shit like that." Louis walks up to us.

"Well it's true."

"Harry said not to say shit that would scare her." He says.

"She's fine, aren't you love?" Liam turns to face me.

I nod.

"Good, now let's see some punches." I take a shaky breath and raise my fists slightly.

"Go!" He yells and I take a swing at the bag only for it to come back and hit me in the face.

"Ouch!" I cry as my body hit the floor.

"Shit!" Louis runs over to help me up.

"T-Thanks." I wince.

"Are you okay darling?"

"I-I think so."

"You're suppose to duck when it comes back at you." I groan.

"M-Maybe this wasn't such a good idea." I mumble.

"You'll get it love...It'll just take some time." Louis says.

"Not unless you're dead." Liam sneers.

"What the hell is your problem?" Louis snaps.

"My problem is that she needs to learn to fight! Not to be a scared little princess. This business that we are in is no game, it's real and if you don't know combat then you'll end up six feet under with no one to blame but yourself." He walks away.

"I-I'm sorry." I apologize looking down at the floor.

"No need to apologize darling, he's just being an ass today." Zayn speaks up.

"I'm just not a violent person." I shrug.

"Well isn't that a shame?" A deep voice speaks up. Turning around I see Harry leaning against the door.

I smile and wave.

He chuckles and walks towards us.

"Hi angel." He smirks.

"H-Hi." I say as he places a kiss on my cheek.

"So how's training going?" He looks at everyone.

"It's a process." Niall answers making Harry scrunch his face up in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that she sucks and Liam blew up on her and left." Zayn tells him. Immediately Harry's eyes grow wide in anger.

"What did he say?"

"Nothing really, just that she's incapable and the real world is a bitch." Niall basically sums it up.

Harry takes a deep breath before looking at me.

"Don't listen to anything he says angel, I know you're more than capable to defend yourself it'll just takes practice." I nod.

"T-Thanks."

"Did you try hitting the bag?" He asks.

"Yeah..." I trail off in embarrassment on what occured moments ago.

"But that shit came right back at her and knocked her ass down!" Niall laughed and the other boys snickered.

Harry glares at him which quickly causes him to coward back.

"Sorry boss."

Harry grabs my hands and raises them but not at the bag...At him.

"Um...What are you doing?" I ask timidly.

"You are going to hit me." I shake my head in objection.

"I-I a-am n-not going to hit you."

"Thea," He sighs, "This is just practice and besides you won't hurt me." He grins and I roll my eyes.

"Cocky much?" I tease.

"I have my moments...Now come at me." He orders.

Taking a deep breath I aim my fist at his chest only for him to dodge it.

"Seriously?" I pout and he laughs.

"Too slow."

"You're already trained!" I say in defense.

He hums.

"Again."

Once again I take another swing at him but instead of dodging it like the first time he grabs my arm and turns me around so my back was up against his chest.

"Like I said before," His hot breath tickled my skin, "Too slow."

He releases me from his hold and hands me a water bottle.

"That's enough for today." He tells me.

"B-But I barely learned anything."

"We have plenty of time to train later." I rub my eyes.

"Okay."

"But overall how did I do?" I ask all giddy.

He clears his throat.

"Decent."

"That's all?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Yeah pretty much."

"Gee thanks." I scoff.

"Oh come on! She did decent didn't she guys?" He looks over to Louis, Niall and Zayn for help.

They both look at each other.

"Sure." They say in unison.

Harry gives me a smug look.

"Boss we gotta get ready to go." Zayn speaks up.

"Go where?" I ask.

"Let's just say that some guys owe me some money and I won't take no for an answer." All of a sudden Harry pulls out a gun from him back pocket.

I gasp in shock.

"I-Is that a-

"Gun?" He finishes for me.

"Yes, yes it is."

"Why do you need that?" I study it.

"Just in case they don't want to cooperate." Louis comments.

"And you all carry one on you?" I turn around.

"Yup." Niall grins.

"Are we ready?" Harry asks them and they nod.

"Let's go Angel." He grabs my hand.

"I'm coming?"

"Yes...We'll need you."

"N-Need me? For what?"

He gives me a devilish smirk.

"Bait."
