Afire Love (h.s)

Two weeks later.
Harry's POV:
I have to admit, I'm warming to her, and she has become one of my friends.

After I told her about my argument with Mike, my trainer, she's been nothing but friendly to me, and I even took her to meet my friends, Alex and Joel. That night was fun, and I don't think she goes out a lot, due to the degree of drunk she became in the matter of an hour.
I tried to look after her as much as I could that night, and she seemed to really enjoy herself, which I'm happy about.

I'm on my way to the gym now, as my training session is 8pm today, a late one. I hope she's working tonight, my subconscious adds, and I roll my eyes at my annoying self.
As I walk through the gym entrance, I notice her familiar brunette hair sat at the reception desk, and she looks up and immediately smiles when she sees it's me walking into the gym.

"Hello, Liliana," I smile to her, handing her my membership card and she swipes it across the machine and hands it back, rolling her eyes at the name I call her. "Hello, Harrison," she smirks back, standing up with a pile of papers in her hand. I smirk back at her, "What did you just call me?" I question, she looks straight at me and raises her eyebrows, "Did I stutter?" She replies before turning around and switching on the paper shredder. "Oooh, feisty this evening, Lil," I reply and wink at her as she turns around, before I walk of into the boxing room, already seeing Mike stood in the doorframe, raising his eyebrows at the encounter I just had with Lili.

He smirks at me as I pass him in the doorway, and I roll my eyes back at him. "Who's that?" He questions as he catches up with me, raising his eyebrows at me, "Lili, she's my neighbour," I casually reply, plonking my gym bag down on the bench and retrieving my boxing gloves. "Just your neighbour?" He asks, hinting at there being something more between herself and I, "yes, just my neighbour, Mike. What are the plans for tonight's session?" I change the subject, and he replies, telling me what we're doing tonight, and before long I'm practising with him.

The two-hour session is over quickly, and Mike has already left as I go to put my gloves away in my bag, before a soft voice startles me. "Are you almost finished, we're passed closing time and I have to lock up," Lili is stood at the door, walking towards me as she talks. "Uh, yeah, give me a few minutes," I reply, getting my towel out of my bag and wiping the sweat off my body.

She comes and sits on the bench next to my bag, her eyes wandering around the big, empty room, stopping when they reach the boxing ring in the centre. "How do you do it?" She asks, her eyes moving to me as she speaks. "Do what?" I reply with a question as she keeps her eyes on me, "Like, how do you know what to do when you're fighting someone, I wouldn't know how to throw a punch," she smiles slightly, and I laugh at her, "Practise makes perfect, Lili". 

I notice her still looking at the boxing ring, her eyes flicking to me and back to the ring, "Do you want a go?" I question, as I start to notice her curiosity.
She flicks her head back to me, and her eyes light up, "Really?!" She smiles, excitement laced in her voice. I smile back and nod, getting the gloves back out of my back and tilting my head to the boxing ring, hinting her to follow me as I turn around and walk towards it.

Once we're in the middle of the ring, I tell her to bring her hands up from her sides as I strap the gloves onto her small hands.
"Okay, so, I'll put my hands up, open in front of me, and you can throw as many punches as you want," I start, and she nods, hinting at me to carry on with my instructions. "Then, I'll become 'weaker', like fighters do in a real match, and that'll be your cue to tackle me to the floor, and you'll win," I instruct, and she nods, smiling as she looks at the big gloves on her hands and back to me.
"Okay, I think I can do this," she speaks quietly, as she throws her first punch.

To be honest, I didn't feel it much as she was so gentle, but I pretend to be hurt and pull a sad face. She giggles as she throws another punch, and another, and another.
Her punches are starting to hurt more, due to the fact that her confidence is rising the more she gets comfortable with throwing punches at me.
She keeps going and I bend over, signalling her that I'm weaker, and instructing her "now", before she puts her gloves on my shoulders and pushes my onto the floor.

I land on my back, with my legs bent, and what surprises me most is that she falls to the floor with me, sitting up as both her legs are on either side of me.
She puts her hands up in victory and is cheering to herself, and I take this time to notice how attractive she looks as she does so. Her brunette waves are falling around her face as she lifts her head up and then looks down to me. Her smile is wider than ever and the sound of her giggles makes me laugh with her.

I grab her hands and bring her down to me, "good try, Liliana," I say, before I quickly flip her over, her screams making me laugh even more. We have now switched positions and she stares at me from below. "Well fuck, Harrison. Here I thought this whole boxer thing was just to look cool, but you're actually quite good," she laughs and I put my hands either side of her hand and lean down to her.
"I sincerely apologise, Liliana, I'm just too good," I reply, as I stare into her beautiful eyes.
Her smile fades along with her laughter, and her eyes are now filled with another emotion. Lust? And I'm sure mine are too.
Fuck it, my subconscious yells at me, and I lean down, my lips brushing hers as her breath hitches in her throat. She confirms to me that she too wants to kiss me, as she leans up and closes the gap, her lips landing on mine perfectly.

I lean in more, and my tongue asks for permission and she opens her lips, letting it wander inside her mouth. She moans softly and her tongue soon enters my mouth too, and I'm in ecstasy. Her kiss is amazing, and her mouth tastes sweet as I kiss her.

The situation get slightly heated as I bring my hand up her body, before I hear a deep cough from the corner of the room, who the hell is here at this time?
I remove my lips from hers and turn my head to the door. My trainer, Mike is stood there, and I give him a death glare.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I forgot my bottle," he says, as he lifts up his hand, his water bottle in his fingers. I lift my leg so Lili can move from underneath me, and she sits up, her cheeks all pink and flushed in embarrassment.
"Nice to see you, Harry's neighbour," he says to Lili, before exiting the room.
