High Tide ||John B Routledge X Reader|| (Outer Banks)

Part 13

John B and I got back into my car and drove to the Ferry entrance.We were walking down the docks to get tickets when we saw the 'sold out' sign.

"Oh no"I mumbled as the two of us started to walk quicker.

"Hey,excuse me sir."

The man started to walk away.

"Wait,wait,wait,wait are you sold out "John B asked

"You're not the only ones trying to get off the island"He continued walking

"God damn it"John B said leaning on the ticket stand. "Oh Shit"

"Um..."I said looking around

He quickly grabbed my hand.

"Follow me"He said pulling me back towards the docks.

"Yeah,sure okay"I agreed sarcastically

"Hey,so have you ever been on a tug boat"

"A what?You're not serious."

"Look,we just gotta talk our way onto this barge."He explained

"Okay"I agreed

"I got this"He assured

"O-Okay"I said doubting him

"These are my people.Just wait"He said before clearing his throat and letting go of my hand.

There was an older man in a blue shirt that matched the rest of the crew's.

"Hey,Cap"He yelled walking over to him leaving me there.

The two of them talked for a few moments before John B walked back over to me.

"So.."I asked already knowing what he was gonna say.

"So...They're booked"He said.

"Who...your,uh..your people"I asked smirking

"What,do you have a better idea"He asked

"Yeah"I said pushing passed him.

I walked over to the railling and picked up two yellow rain coats.

"Here"I handed one to him before putting  the other on.

"Okay, grab a tank"I told him as we walked up the loading docks.

I picked up a tank and turned to make sure he had too. He followed me onto the boat and placed the tank down right after I did.

We walked down a steep flight of steps which took up to the engine room under the main floor of the boat.

"We gotta take that to the engine room"One of the workers yelled from the main floor of the boat.

John B placed his hands on my arms and moved me yo  the other side of him,rushing me along.

Just as the horn started to blare, we made it to the mechanical room closing the door behind us.

"Shh"John B whispered holding his finger to his mouth.

I could hear workers talking outside the door. There was a loud thudding noise; the boat pushed forward and immedietly pulled back which made me bump into John B.

"Okay...were moving"I said holding up my hand

"Y-Yeah"John B stuttered highfiving me.

The room started to get hot.

"Holy shit"I mumbled fanning myself.

John B took of his shirt and did the same.

"What is the hottest you have ever been"I asked
