I Think Your Love Would Be Too Much / Post Malone

Chapter 41

"Thank you Austin."

Lena's soft voice filled my ears as I handed her a brand new Bud Light before I sank down in the seat next to her, shifting closer until our bodies were warmly grazing against each other.

"Chris do you mind getting the lights?" She spoke up once again, turning her attention to him as he glared in our direction with a sharp gaze.

"Yeah, sure thing Lena." He answered through gritted teeth, flicking the light switch off before he joined the rest of the group on the sofa.

Lena's eyes blinked, now locking with mine as she lightly clinked the necks of our bottles together before bringing hers to her full lips, and taking a short sip before giving me a stunning smile.

"This is my last beer of the night by the way." She stated firmly as I raised my eyebrows, chuckling at her terribly low alcohol tolerance.

"Come Lee, you don't wanna keep up with me?" I teased as she twisted her face into a scowl.

"Are you trying to get me drunk so you could have your way with me?" She whispered as the opening credits of the movie rolled across the flat screen.

I gave her a wicked grin, placing my cold hand onto her exposed thigh, giving it a small squeeze as I spoke.

"I don't need to get you drunk to have my way with you Lena. You're always so fucking eager to spread these beautiful legs for me." I shot back, causing her mouth to drop at my risky words.

"Don't look so surprised baby girl, you know it's true." I winked as we softly laughed together.

"Lena you're my friend and Austin I know this is your house and all but I won't hesitant to kick you both out of this living room you don't stop giggling during the movie." Vanessa snapped as she scowled in our direction, which only caused us to giggle even more.

"My girl doesn't play when it comes to her horror movies." Smitty chuckled as he threw us a sly look.

"Well she's right. You two need to quiet down with your little whispering." Adam chimed in as he rolled his eyes at us and chuckled at us.

"Lena I'm starting to feel like we're not wanted here." I sarcastically slanted my eyes as the team began jokingly ganging up on us.

"Maybe we should leave." She adorably shrugged her shoulders, playing along with me.

"No, I don't want you guys to leave, I just want you to shut the fuck up." Vanessa gave us a grin as she winked.

"Fine we'll behave." I rolled my eyes as if Lena and I were just a couple of kids getting ourselves in trouble.

We exchanged playful glances as we settled into the couch and finally turned our attention to television.

As the movie progressed and became more intense by the minute, I could feel Lena quietly squirming next to me. She pressed her warm body against mine and subtly gripping onto my forearm, her fingernails nearly digging into my skin.

"You okay baby?" I whispered as quietly as I could as I turned to look down at her.

I watched as she bit down onto her bottom lip, her dark eyes sparkling in the dim room as they were glued to the screen.

"I'm fine." She mumbled under her breath, which quickly turned into a gasp as she squeezed her eyes shut at the sudden gory turn of events in the movie.

"Are you scared?" I couldn't help but lowly chuckle at how frightened she looked.

"I'm not scared." She pouted her full lips as her hold on my arm tightened by the second.
