Assassin After My Heart [Zouis]

Why The Hell Was I Blushing?!

CHAPTER 5:

LOUIS' POV:

I was slipping into dreamland, drowning in a sea of pleasure and tranquility, wrapped up in my warm sheets when an impatient knock on my door jolted me awake.

Spitting every curse word I knew- which weren't that many- I trudged over to my door to see who the heck wanted something at 2.23 in the morning.

I opened the door to see a smiley Liam and a scowling Zayn at my doorstep.

"Uh, hi...?"

"Hi, Louis. Can we come inside?"

"Yeah, okay," I answered warily, opening the door wider. But this didn't mean I trusted those blokes now!

They made themselves comfortable on my tiny couch while I turned on the lights.

"Nice pajamas," Zayn commented with a cheeky smirk, while I blushed, glancing down at my carrot patterned pjs.

"Okay, so the reason we're here and we woke you up is because we think that Tanner's assassins are going to attack again any minute. Unfortunately, they've discovered your location," Liam informed me sadly.

My mouth dropped open a bit. "Oh my God. So they could come from any direction, any time?" I was panicking now.

"Calm down Louis, that's why we're here. We have everything under control," Liam soothed me.

"B-but, if they now know where I live, can't I move away?"

Liam shook his head and Zayn answered. "Nope it's not gonna help. They'll just come and get you from wherever you'll hide."

"Oh my God," I breathed.

"Calm down Louis. I assure you we have everything under-"

My living room window shattered, shards flying everywhere. The noise cut Liam off and I involuntarily let out a girly shriek, diving behind the couch in terror.

Zayn scoffed. "You were saying, Liam?"

"Oh shut it!" Liam snapped back and in seconds, both of the lads were armed and ready.

Two men dressed in black and moving lithely jumped in from the broken window- seriously though, what's the difference between a ninja and an assassin?- tackling both Liam and Zayn.

All of them were fighting, just a blur of black, landing punches and whatnot, wrecking my furniture but I could freaking care less about that 'cos those dudes were here to take me! How long were Liam and Zayn gonna last?

My question was answered when one of them knocked Liam out, then turned to me with a smirk.

"Let's go, pretty boy," he grinned. Any other time, I would've been flattered that I'd been called a pretty boy, but not now 'cos I was literally about to freaking die! I can feel it!

The grinning guy grabbed my arm and I let out a shriek, scraping up every single thing I knew about self defence, which amounted to... zilch.

The other guy was still fighting with Zayn and just as he was momentarily distracted from my scream, Zayn bashed him on the head and he fell to the ground like a sack of potatoes.

The guy restraining me jumped out the window before Zayn could grab at him, dragging me to his scary looking van.

I'm dead. Goodbye, cruel world.

Maybe it wasn't so cruel 'cos there were carrots in this world?

Oh, shut up! You're getting kidnapped and all you can think about is carrots?!

I could'nt think much after that 'cos I felt something hit my head, and seconds later I felt the blinding pain which made me see stars, and then I was conked out.

ZAYN'S POV

God damn it, they took him! Without waiting for Liam to wake up, I sped after them. As I slid out the window, I managed to catch a glimpse of the retreating black van. I jumped on my bike and revved it, chasing after the bastard.

I had to catch him, I just had to. I couldn't let them take Louis.

Why? 'Cos I don't want to fail my most important mission. Of course that's why!

Driving impossibly fast, I managed to get six feet behind them and pulling out my hand gun, fired two successive shots which made the back glass shatter.

The van steered to the side for a bit to avoid my shots and using that as an advantage, I quickly sped up next to the driver and aimed straight at him, killing him and causing the van to teeter dangerously.

Tentatively standing on my bike, I wrenched the van door open and climbed inside, shoving the dead driver and taking the steering wheel, steered the car safely back on the quiet road, then slammed down on the brakes.

Jumping out of the driver's seat, I ran to the back and slid the van doors open, dragging out an unconscious and gagged Louis out. Pulling him over my right shoulder, I ran back to my bike and drove back to the house.

This little episode wasn't that tough, I had seen and faced worse in my five years as an assassin, but it still was a tough one.

Liam had informed me that he had 'disposed' of the other assassin, and was now waiting at Louis' house as we both had to talk to him.

Oh, joy.

~*~

When I reached Louis' house, the street was quiet. His freaking window had been shattered by gun shots, didn't that wake anybody up? Heavy sleepers, these New Yorkers are for a city that never sleeps.

I rolled my eyes and glanced at Louis, who was now waking up and stirring. I had to hold him in front of me on the bike so he wouldn't fall off, as I had no rope to tie him. I looked down at him and he looked up at the same time, causing our noses to brush as he was closer than I had expected. I froze as my cheeks burned, and Louis' warm breath hit the corner of my mouth.

He didn't make any move either, and our noses were still touching. He was fully conscious now, his surprised blue eyes staring into mine. He looked better without those glasses...

Louis pulled back, blinking a few times, then his face reddened as he clumsily climbed down from the bike.

I shook my head and got off as well and we climbed up the stairs without making eye contact. What the freaking hell had just happened and why the hell was I blushing?!
