Agent 454 {Sequel to School Bus Lou}

Chapter 14

Chapter 14

We arrive at our destination which is a simple bay and we anchor the boat. I finally turn around to see Will chatting with Louis and Niall and Liam lip locking. I blush watching before turning back to the water.

"Oh Harry I think I forgot to introduce you." Zayn's voice sparks up a conversation with me.

"Hmm?" I look at him confused.

"This is my wife Perrie." Zayn kisses her lips quickly.

"Please to meet you." I mumble shaking her hand.

"Where's your husband Will?" Zayn asks.

"He gets sea sick so I gave him a pill and he is sleeping." Will explains.

"Okay well the chef is making ribs and rice if you guys wanna go for a swim." Zayn suggests.

"Yea leggo!!" Niall takes of down the deck to get changed. Liam chuckles following along with the rest of the boys.

I watch Louis' bum contract with every step and blush as I continue to watch. I want to pull my eyes away but I can't. Who am I kidding I don't want to pull my eyes away... Who would?

I notice I am now looking at is no longer his bum in those tight dark denim jeans, but, his highly outlined crotch.

Oh shit.

I feel my eyes go bug-eyed and I feel my mouth dry while my stomach tingles again.

"Hey babe.. You coming?" Louis asks and I realize he is now right in front of me and I'm staring at his stomach.

"I-I don't w-w-want t-to sw-swim." I let out licking my now dry lips looking at my hands laying on my lap.

"Would you like me to stay with you?" Louis asks.

"I-It's o-o-okay." I clear my throat.

"Okay babe.. I will be back after my swim... Enjoy the view?" He asks with a smirk and a wink.

I blush standing up and walking away from him. My cheeks fill with heat as I hear Louis' voice again.

"It's okay babe." He says as he catches up with me.

"I-I'm s-s-sorry." I stutter as my voice cracks slightly.

"It's okay." Louis chuckles. "I don't mind.."

"W-why?" I stutter.

"Cause.. It tells me that you still have very strong feelings for me... Somewhere...." Louis says quietly before he passes me and goes to change.

Shocked, I walk to the kitchen where the chef is hard at work. "M-May I help you?" I stutter.

You can do it Harry. People aren't all bad. You can show your feelings.

"We have it all under control sir." The chef says.

"I-I'm H-Harry..." I mumble.

"I'm Chef Gus." He says as he gets ribs prepared for a BBQ.

I awkwardly stand there not knowing what to say or do and just fiddle with my fingers. I hear Chef Gus sigh and his toes face me. I look up at him and he offers a friendly smile.

"Would you like to help me barbecue?" Chef asks. I nod enthusiastically and he hands me a large baking pan with handles. On the inside are 15 sets of ribs all marinated and a food brush. "We have to go to the top deck." Chef explains grabbing a large bag of coals and tongs.

I follow him up to the top of the deck and he puts coals in the grand BBQ. He starts the coals on fire and puts the lid on it until the fire is smaller.

"So, why aren't you swimming?" He asks.

"I-I didn't want to." I mumble.

"I take it you don't like being social?" He asks.

"I-It's a long story.." I mumble.

"We've got time." He says.

"True... Uhmm.. Okay so basically...." I tell Chef Gus my back story as to why I am antisocial and he listens. The whole time even when he was cooking the ribs he listened to me and every once in a while he would rub my arm for support. He made me feel like, yah I am messed up, but no it's not the end of the world.

"Wow.." He finally speaks after the ribs are done and we are walking back to the kitchen. "You have been through a lot eh."

"Yah.." I mumble playing with my fingers.

"What about that Louis.. He seems pretty caring.. Why don't you give him a shot?" He asks.

"I-I don't know... Cause.. He's different." I mumble.

"Ohh.. I see what's going on." Chef smiles at me as he puts the rice into two big bowls. "You like him again don't you?"

"Yah.. And I don't want him to be taken away from me again.. And I was told I can't feel and I don't want to." I mumble wiping a tear, "Louis deserves so much better. Someone who will, and can love him.. Someone who won't be a burden."

"Well Harry from what I hear you are no burden. You seem like a really nice guy just trying to find a place in this world and that's all that anyone could ever ask for." Chef Gus says.

"Thank you.. This really means a lot to me." I mumble.

"No worries." He says before opening his arms up for a hug, "c'mon lad come and show me some lovin'."

I blush slowly shuffling to him before giving him a hug.

"Well everything is done shall we bring it to the main?" He asks.

"Yes." I smile.

We walk up to the main deck and set up at a pull out table.

"Well I gotta go make my own lunch now-"

"Eat with us?" I say questioningly.

"I'm sorry Harry but sir malik won't like that." He bows his head.

"But you're my friend and we spent so long on lunch.. I will make him." I smile.

"I-I don't think that's-"

"Okay! Let's dig in!" Niall shouts.

"Uhmm.. Z-Zayn.." I mumble playing with my fingers as I shuffle towards him.

"What is it Harry?" He asks putting a hand on my shoulder.

"C-Can.. Uhmm.. Can Chef G-Gus.. Uhmm.. Eat with us." I mumble.

"Did you make a friend?" He asks surprised.

I nod and he pats my shoulder.

"Any friend of yours can eat with us." He smiles as I look up at him before I go back to Gus.
