I Think Your Love Would Be Too Much / Post Malone

Chapter 87

Lena longingly bored her chocolate brown eyes into my own as she tenderly cupped the side of my face, her fingers caressing softly against the roughness of my beard as I finally earned a smile from her pouting lips.

Her water filled eyes were finally held at bay as she blinked the last of her teardrops down her flushed rosy cheeks.

I couldn't help but feel for her, my chest aching at how much pain she must have endured since I lost my memory.

"You've been silently battling this all by yourself, I can't even begin to imagine what you've been going through babe. The way I yelled at you, I am so sorry. I was only thinking about myself. I wasn't thinking about what you were going through. It must have been hell on earth hearing about my accident, seeing me in the hospital like that." 

"It was hell Austin. It felt like a never ending nightmare that I couldn't seem to wake up from. The thought of never seeing you again, never talking to you, never holding you in my arms again. I- I was so scared."

Her tear stained face suddenly swayed me into a flashback of when I saw her for the first time, laying in my hospital bed.

I remembered waking up, a variety of wires attached to me as I was hooked up to multiple beeping machines. Throbbing pains scorching through my entire body as I tried to regain my lost senses. My gaze fell onto her distraught face, and I remember the clenching in my heart as I saw this beautiful stranger in tears at my bedside. The fear in her eyes, the hurt in her voice. I had no idea at the time that I watching my girl cry her pretty little heart out over me.

I wrapped my arms around her, holding her close to my chest as our pulses beat in tandem with one another.

"I'm here Lee. And you don't have to be scared anymore sweetheart. Whether it takes me months or years, I'm going to come back to you. I made that promise and I intend to keep it, even if it takes me a lifetime." I reassured her with my words as I rubbed her back over the fabric of her shirt.

"You've been absolutely incredible through all of this. Even if you don't remember all of me. It doesn't matter. None of it matters. Because you losing your memory only showed me that we will always find our way back to each other. Nothing can come between us Austin, what we have is forever." She gave me a weak smile, just before she leaned it, connecting her soft lips to mine.

I inhaled the breath from her mouth, swirling my tongue with hers just briefly before I broke the passion filled kiss.

I savored the tender moment between us as I traced my fingertips underneath the oversized tee shirt that loosely hung from her stunning body.

"I like this shirt. Hard to believe I gave it up without a fight groupie." I gave her a small wink as I teased her, pulling the bottom hem of the fabric with my free hand.

"You don't put up much of a fight when it comes to me rockstar. You're hopelessly wrapped around my finger." She shot back, adorably shrugging her shoulders as she rolled her eyes upwards.

"Oh yeah?" I raised my brows, a smirk playing at my lips. "How hopeless babe?"

"Let's just say I've stolen half of your of wardrobe and you've still asked me to move in with you."

Her words actually came by no surprise as I didn't underestimate my past self for falling head first for this woman just as I was doing now, all over again.

"I must have been crazy about you angel." I muttered, the smile gradually fading from my face as I couldn't imagine how beautiful our love story was.

"I think you were." She gave me a weak smile. A sudden nervousness translating on her face as she tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.

"Austin, if it's too soon for you, I completely understand. I don't have to move in- I can fly back and forth to see you. We'll figure something-"
