Assassin After My Heart [Zouis]

The Smoldering Look.

CHAPTER 14:

LOUIS' POV

The only thing going through my mind right now was that Liam is kissing me! He is freaking kissing me! A boy is kissing me! And why am I not hating it? Why am I not pushing him away?

My body was so not co-operating with me, as I pulled Liam even closer to me. He's just trying to make a point, and it's clear now. So stop kissing him Louis!

Liam pushed me onto the marble countertop, and I gasped in surprise, my hands shooting up, fingers running through his air. I honestly had no idea what I was doing. What we were doing right now, but-

"I think you fuckers should get a room," I heard a vaguely familiar voice spit out coldly, and we broke away, as if we had snapped out of a trance.

Liam and I were both looking at a visibly digusted and angry Zayn. Liam looked guilty, while I was having trouble pinpointing my emotions. I was feeling utterly confused, angry and... guilty as well? Why was I feeling guilty?

Neither one of us could say anything, and Zayn just snorted, roughly pushing past us and taking something out of the fridge. Then in a matter of seconds, he was going back to his room.

"I gotta talk to him," Liam muttered, and ran off after Zayn.

I think Liam must have managed to get inside 'cos after a few seconds, I could hear a lot of yelling, mostly by Zayn though. I sighed heavily, running my fingers through my bed hair and trying to sort out my thoughts.

Okay. So Liam had just kissed me, trying to make me realize that I carried a torch for guys. Alrighty then. From the way it felt kissing Liam, and the previously unexplained feelings I was having towards Zayn, I can safely say that I'm gay. But I still thinks girls are hot. So I guess I'm bi? Or whatever that's called. God, this is confusing.

And the guilty part? I don't even know. Why was I feeling guilty? 'Cos I was coming between two best friends and I was somehow the reason they were fighting right now? Yeah, probably.

God, wow. What has my life come to? From a boring computer geek, to a target for assassins, to now a guy being kissed by an admittedly hot assassin, and also, another assassin supposedly having feelings for me.

Wow, life is messed up. Especially mine right now.

My thoughts were cut off when Liam zoomed past me to the front door, shooting me an awkward smile and slinking out the door. Zayn sauntered out behind him, a frown on his face.

He looked up at me, now expressionless, and I met his gaze. We held each other's gazes for a while, until it became too awkward for me, and I looked away. Why wasn't he saying anything? And why was he staring at me creepily?

I looked back up, and there it was again. The smoldering look. If I wasn't so confused and on edge right now, I would've swooned a bit.

"What?!" I finally snapped. Zayn blinked a few times, then scowled at me. Ah, he's back.

"So, are you and Liam a thing now?" he asked nonchalantly.

"N-no, of course not! He just, uh, kissed me. To, uh, make his point clear," I stammered, blushing.

"And what point was that?" Zayn asked, walking closer to me, backing me up against the fridge. What is with him backing me up into places? Not that I mind.

I looked anywhere but at his face. "T-that I was, uh, I liked, g-guys."

I really wanted to ask Zayn if what Liam observed was true. If he somehow did have feelings for me. And alos what they had talked about in there. But I couldn't pluck up the courage to.

Zayn didn't say anything, so I peeked at his face. He was frowning at me. "So, do you?"

"Do I what?"

"Do you like guys?"

"I, uh-"

"GOD!" Zayn growled, and I flinched back.

"Wha..?"

"Don't, okay. Just don't tell me. I don't care," he spat, turning away from me. Uh, okay. You know the theory I had that Zayn Parker is bipolar? Yep, I still stand with that.

"Um..."

"It's not my business to know, just my job, my duty," Zayn murmured under his breath, but I caught him.

"What do you mean?" Why did he ask if he didn't want to know? God, he's a confusing guy!

Thankfully, Zayn's cellphone rung, breaking the tense silence. Zayn took it out and received the call. Someone on the opposite end kept murmuring, and Zayn's eyes widened a bit. "Are you sure, sir?"

"What's wrong?" I asked tentatively.

Zayn looked up. "It was a call from the Government facility in Brooklyn. Tanner has hacked the computers this time," Zayn informed me, his whole demeanor had now shifted to strictly professional.

"W-what? How?"

Zayn rolled his eyes. "How am I supposed to know? You're the one that has to figure it out."

Not again! "How can they possibly believe I'm a genius! My clumsiness worked in my favor- or rather, against me- last time, and I doubt it'll happen again," I snorted.

Zayn smirked. "MAybe it will. Now we've to leave, ASAP."

"Right now?"

"Yes. Now."

I squeaked in surprise, running to my room and grabbing my glasses from the night stand, and attempted to smooth down my bed head. Oh well.

"Liam will meet us there?"

Zayn froze. "Why are you asking?" he questioned in a steely tone.

"Uh," I bit my lip. "I'm just asking."

"Yeah," Zayn shrugged. "Guess he'll meet us there. We both have to be with you at all times when out and about."

"Oh. Let's go then," I sighed. May the odds be ever in my favor.
