NEVER TAP OUT

~o5~

Emerson POV
Thursday
"Is...is your offer still on the table" I say walking up to the counter. He smiled, while walking towards the front counter.

"Do you believe, you can fight" I glanced around the room. There were guys of all sizes, doing different things on different machines. It was a little intimidating, if I'm honest.

"I believe, I can learn" I stood in front of him as he laughed. He smirked at me before he had something to say.

"As long as I'm your teacher, I will make sure you win" My eyebrows knitted.

"Win.....I thought I was just learning" he had a confused look spread across his face.

"I'm teaching you how to fight" he threw up his fist at me. "Then, if you're good enough, you can start competing" his fist dropped to his sides.

"No..I just want to learn how to fight" I said biting my lip nervously. He smiled making me calm down a bit.

"Oh, you will learn" he crossed his arms over his chest.

"No, I can't do that" I backed up a bit. "My mother would kill me" my shoulders shrugged as my statement was made.

"I think she would like the idea of her daughter being safe" he smirked once again. I turn towards the door before turning back to him.

"Yeah,well you don't know my mother"  I said before pushing the door open. A hand grabbed my arm as I spun around and smacked the person.

"Ouch" he cried out. "I can see that you're on edge" he put his hand to his cheek.

"I'm so sorry" I put my hand to my mouth. He shook his head with a smile before raising a hand. "Please don't hurt me" my face turned to the side as my eyes closed.

"It's okay...I'm not going to hurt you" I turned back to look at him. "You're good at fighting, I think you should join" he rubbed his cheek once more.

"I really can't" I stared at the ground. "Both my parents would be disappointed in me" a frown appeared on my face.

"It doesn't matter what they think, it's your choice to make" his voice sounded hopeful. I thought for a minute, realizing he was right.

"I'll do it" I smiled. He stuck a hand on my shoulder smiling widely back at me. I looked around the room, seeing a few men staring towards us.

"Great, come back tomorrow after school,for training" I shook my head agreeing to his statement. I then walked out and back to my house.

Yay, she is finally agreeing to fighting. I hope you guys are enjoying it so far. 🦄😂
