Harry's POV
I pull up to the building Sage gestures. A renovated warehouse in the good side of the warehouse district stands tall in front of us. At least, the good side of the district in the day. At night this entire place is filled with criminals and junkies. And fights. Sage hops out of the car before I'm even fully parked. I wonder what her deal is. She's been weird ever since I found that picture of her and her brother. She never did say his name but I can tell that it's a touchy subject. I'll have to do some digging to find out what happened, maybe there's something I can do to help. I jump out of the car and walk up to the building Sage disappeared into. The sunlight streams down, it's a lovely day. A group of middle aged women laugh loudly as they pass me, probably on their way to yoga or something. They stare at me appraisingly as I stop on the sidewalk. I pull out a cigarette and my phone. Lighting the cigarette and dialing my phone smoothly I press the phone to my ear and the cigarette to my lips. I inhale deeply as Liam answers his phone.
"Hey Harry, about last night," Liam begins.
"Get Louis and bring sages car by the gym in the warehouse district, Lou will know what I'm talking about. Have Louis bring the keys in and then leave, I don't want to see you right now," I cut him off rudely and end the call before he can respond. Little fucker shouldn't have a chance to explain himself. He was gonna sleep with Sage even though he knew I had my eyes on her.
I put the barely smoked cigarette out and press the butt into the ground before spinning on my heel and walking into the gym.

Sages POV
"Alright bobby let's get down to business," I say with a smile. Bobby stands in front of me, his small figure hunched over. He looks up at me with big brown eyes and smiles, standing up straight. His eyes are level with mine, his shaved head cropping the black hair close to his dark brown scalp.
I throw a punch with my gloved hands which he easily blocks. I block his return but don't release his hand, instead I pull it back and use my left foot to knock him off balance. He lays on the matted floor on his stomach. I straddle his back and bend his arm still clutched in my gloved fist in, I pull his arm at an unnatural angle and he cries out.
"Come on bobby you've got to be faster," I say and jump off of him smoothly, releasing his arm as I do so.
He gets to his feet and shakes off the attack before bracing himself again. I come at him with full force, seeing a head of chestnut curls out of the corner of my eye. This time bobby doesn't allow me to capture his hand, but he also doesn't get in any actual hits either. Something must be wrong, usually he can hit me once or twice.
"What's wrong bobby," I say as I delicately block an easy punch bobby throws.
"Nothing," he says nervously, I see his eyes dart over to where Harry is observing.
"Don't pay attention to him," I order and bobby turns his attention back to me but soon his eyes drift over once more.
I immediately halt the punches and place my hands on my hips. "Bobby are you here for me to train you?" I ask with raised eyebrows.
"Yes ma'am," bobby says, his eyes focusing on me.
"Then why do you keep looking at Harry?"
"Well ma'am," bobby stutters. "I don't think he wants me to punch you."
I look over to where Harry is leaning against the white wall, his muscular and tattooed arms crossed over his chest as he watches me with guarded eyes.
I stalk over to where he's standing.
"Do you see this bruise Harry?" I question as I stand in front of him, gesturing to the purple bruise on my side. He nods his head and raises his eyebrows at my bossy tone.
"This bruise clearly shows that I can take a hit. Now please stop intimidating bobby because I would actually like to have a productive training session so he doesn't get his ass whooped tonight when he fights."
"What makes you think I'm intimidating him love?" Harry says feigning innocence. I huff and walk away, calling him an obscene name under my breath. I hear his dark chuckle and a shiver rushes up my spine. No Sage stop it.
"Alright let's continue," I say with a grin as I reach bobby.
"Yes, let's," I bitchy voice says from behind me. I turn to face the familiar voice and a flash of hot pink claws greets me as this bitch attempts to punch me in the face. I grab her clawed fist and quickly twist it behind her back.
"Hi Mandy," I saw sweetly. "Nice to see you again."
She kicks out behind her, knocking me off balance. I stumble back and she kicks me in my bruised side.
"Fuck," I mutter and clutch at the injury. She smirks, not expecting me to swoop my foot out, knocking both her feet out from under her so she tumbles to the ground.
"That always was your mistake Mandy," I say sweetly as I straddle her, one of my hands pinning both of hers above her head. My legs are positioned so that she can't kick her legs and my right fist punches her pierced face. "You always think that once your opponent is down, that means they won't get back up."
She spits out blood to the side as I continue to punch her. Her cries echo in the gym and people have gathered around to stare. Men are yelling cat calls and quite rude words instead of attempting to help. I glance up at the jeering crowd and climb off Mandy, backing away slowly as she gets to her feet. My eyes meet Harry's green ones. He looks at me with a mixture of awe and curiosity but I glance back to Mandy quickly. She looks at me with hate before turning on her heel and stalking out of the gym.
"Sorry bobby it looks we will have to cut this session short," I say as the men begin to disperse, going back to their previous engagements. Bobby smirks at me.
"That's alright Sage," he says and gathers his things. "It always amazes me how much you can fight a bitch."
I laugh loudly at his comment and walk over to where he stands. He hands me money for a half a session.
"Good luck tonight," I call out as he walks away. He waves over his shoulder before disappearing out of the doors.
"That was quite impressive," a husky voice says over my shoulder. I shiver at the sensuality of Harry's voice. He runs a cool finger up my bare spine until he reaches my bra before trailing his finger back down. I close my eyes and lean back into the sensation.
Harry removes his hand quickly and pushes back on my shoulder, forcing me to turn to face him.
"I have business to attend to," Harry says, brushing a strand of hair out of my sweaty face. "Until later." One of his hands caresses my cheek while the other presses on my lower back until I'm flush against him. I arch my back up and he leans down. His lips press gently against mine. And it wasn't sparks.
It was dynamite.

Notes

Kisses! So cute. Anyways I hope you liked this chapter, it's kind of another filler but it does have some important information in it. I try not to introduce characters that aren't important in some way though I'm sure I have. I have big plans for this story (possibly involving a sequel!). As I matter of fact I just wrote the final chapter today. Now I just have to write everything in between ;).
questions:
do you think that Liam wanted to apologize for the events that occurred last night or did he have something else to say?
Is Harry going to treat Sage differently now that he knows she can fight?
What (if anything) will Harry find out about sages brother and her past?
What is the skeleton in sages closet (the reason she went so off the rails)?
