I Can't Stop Even If It's Wrong!!

Chapter 27

We finally reached the lake and as soon as we got there, Zayn and Liam started taking off their shoes and shirts and pants. They were practically ripping them off while me and Harry stared in shock. And soon enough, Zayn is being taken into the water by Liam. What the hell is wrong with these two?? Me and Harry awkwardly stand there for a few minutes, before he breaks the silence.

"Uh, aren't you joining them?" He asks nervously.

Join that? Hell no! Atleast not on my own...but I can't ask him to accompany me, that will be awkward.

"No, yeah.." I reply equally nervously.

I start taking off my shoes and my shirt when we both make eye contact. He immediately looks away and turns around to get the bags out of the car. I smirk at his reaction as I take my pants off too. As I was done, I run towards the lake and dive right in the semi cold water. It was amazing taking that dive. I saw Harry from where I was in the lake, sitting on the edge of the lake, with his arms around his knees admiring the view. Me, Zayn and Liam swam a lot and played with water a lot. I knew Zayn was scared of water but with Liam he was so comfortable and safe. For a moment, my mind drifted to what Harry had said. Watching Liam and Zayn being so supportive of each other, I decided I can atleast try to get the poor lad to have some fun. I started swimming towards the edge towards Harry, without talking about it with Ziam. Besides, i knew Ziam were too horny to not be taking out time to fuck. I get out of the lake and go over to him.

"Let's go" I say extending out a hand.

"Where??" He asks in confusion.

"The lake... c'mon" I lean forward with my hand outstretched.

"I- I am not going in the water, I will catch a cold!" He backs away a little.

"The water's not that cold, c'mon!" I say stepping forward.

"I- " he stutters but in the meantime, I grab his elbow, get him on his feet and we start walking towards the lake.

"No, Lou- I don't want to...Stop!" He yells in frustration and snaps his elbow away from my hold. I immediately stop walking.

"I told you....I don't want to be shirtless.." he politely mumbles.

"Well, then don't be" I smiled in confidence.

He doesn't respond. Somehow it wasn't just about being shirtless, i had a feeling. This is not the reaction of someone who is afraid to show off his abs even though there isn't anyone to bat an eye or someone who has got a nice set of abs. There's something more to this!

"Okay, I know that's not all. Has something happened?" I ask in a concerned voice.

He looked at me for a few seconds and then he exhales deeply and tells me nervously,

"I don't actually want to swim because it reminds me of Mum...she was my first and only swimming trainer and she always saved me from drowning and now...." He stops in the middle. There was sadness in his voice.

"...now you are worried that there's no one to save you if you drowned?" I asked politely.

He nodded as he sniffled his tears away. I wanted to hug him but I knew that would get too intimate. It will get awkward again between us. So I just stood there watching him trying to hold his tears in.

"Well, I don't want to force you or anything, but you can count on me to save you...I will catch you Haz, I won't let you drown...but honestly, there's no pressure...." I said as I patted his shoulder and went back towards the lake. Can't deny, I was feeling a little sad.

A minute later, I heard him yelling my name. As I turn around, I see him taking off his shoes, pants and shirt in a hurry and running over to me. He takes a minute to catch his breath as he pants,
