I Think Your Love Would Be Too Much / Post Malone

Chapter 30

I pressed my lips firmly against Austin's. As if I were somehow trying to kiss away the sadness from slithering it's way between us.

Of course it killed me that he couldn't kiss me whenever he wanted. Or touch me. Or wrap his arms around me.

But I couldn't bring the words to my lips and tell him.

My heart ached as my fingers glided through his curls, while his were dug into the bare skin of my hips under my sweatshirt.

I desperately swallowed my feelings for him as I continued to tenderly kiss his lips. Being in his embrace always seemed to make me lose track of time and completely forget where I was.

Suddenly, it dawned on me that we weren't in the empty Air B and B all alone, and we were in Austin's house while the entire team was home.

I pulled away, leaning my forehead against his, our noses barely brushing together.

"I should go. We can't keep disappearing together." I said quietly as he nodded hesitantly towards me.

I climbed off of his lap and pecked his lips once more.

"Lena wait." His hands went to my hips stopping me in my tracks.

His deep blue eyes poured into mine as he longingly stared at me.

"I didn't get a chance to tell you but I had a really good time last night."

My lips parted to speak as I saw the sincerity on his face.

"I had a good time too Austin." I said as he tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear.

"I'll see you later beautiful."

I made my way through the studio, his eyes following me as my footsteps trailed throughout the room. I glanced up at him before I closed the door. His lips pressed to his fingers, blowing me a kiss goodbye.

I gave him a small smile before I shut there door behind me.

I made my way through the maze of a hallway and found myself in his enormous kitchen.

Vanessa was propped onto the kitchen counter, scrolling on her phone and sipping on a chilled glass of Rosè.

"Hey lady I was just ordering dinner. Everyone actually agreed on chinese take out for once. What do you want?" She said as I entered into her view.

"Oh. Uh chicken and broccoli is fine. Thanks V."

"I'm just going to order Austin his usual teriyaki chicken. Creature of habit." She rolled her eyes.

"I saw you got him into sushi though. That's a first for him. He's like a picky five year old when it comes to trying new foods." She chuckled.

"I've noticed." I smiled and shook my head. "He's something else."

"So where did you and Romeo sneak off to?" Her eyebrow raised as she referred to Austin.

"He's in the studio. We were um- talking." I shook my head, thinking back to our moment that got way too emotional for my own good.

"Just talking?" She furrowed her brows as if she didn't believe a word I was saying.

"Fine. Talking and a little kissing." I blushed as I shrugged my shoulder.

"So what happened last night? You guys had the whole freaking place to yourselves! How many times did you fuck? Did you do it in every room of the house? How was he?" She asked with widened eyes.

"We didn't." I said earning a look of confusion from her.

"We fooled around a little but mostly we just talked and joked around."
