He breathes out a light laugh and shakes his head, turning towards the boxing ring again. “Deadly and fast. Good combo.”

I smile at he heads off to work. “You know it.”

“Get his arm!” I call to Elijah as Noah quickly sweeps him.

“Yes!” Rosa jumps beside me. “Get it!”

Noah manages to pull Elijah into a rear naked choke, and he taps.

Elijah stands, shaking it off. “Damn.”

“You need to control that arm,” Max says to him. “Then you could have moved into side-control and even into an armbar.”

“Yeah,” Elijah sighs, rubbing his face. “Ok,” he turns back to Noah, “again.”

I watch as they get back into their drill. And my eyes travel to someone I wish I was drilling…

Ty is at the MMA bag, working through some drills of his own. We’ve had a solid week of training since we found out who our opponents will be, and his focus hasn’t let up at all. As he lays a lethal high kick on the bag, I smile. He’s got this.

An elbow digs into my ribs, and I look down to Rosa’s smiling face.

“Adorable,” she says.

“Shut up,” I murmur through a smile, glancing one more time to Ty.

“No,” she says simply. “I will not.”

“Fine,” I turn to her and gesture to the mat. “Time to work then.”

She nods and happily drops to the mat.

Max turns to us. “Double under pass,” he says.

“Got it.” I drop to my knees, allowing Rosa to wrap her legs around my waist for closed guard.

And she kicks my fucking ass.

I manage to open the closed guard, but she creates space by moving her hips back as soon as I reach under her legs, anchoring her body to the mat. But I use our size difference to my advantage, quickly closing this distance, and getting the grip I want over her hips.

Except I fell right into her trap. She weaves one leg behind my arm and over my legs, placing her other foot on my hip and locking my shoulder.

Fucking ouch.

“Fuck.” I tap, and she lets go with a smile.

“Luca.” She shakes her head slowly. “Don’t hold back on my account.”

I rub my shoulder and snort. “Girl. You’re a menace.”

She smiles innocently and I laugh.

“Alright, let’s go again,” I say.

We drill the double under pass for a bit, and some other passes from various guards, until I’m done getting my ass handed to me.

“Damn, Rosa.” I stand up. “I think I need a hug.”

“It’s ok, Luca. You got a couple passes.” She pats my back with a laugh.
