Love At First Sight / Post Malone

Chapter 15

I heard a soft moan form at the base of his throat and my body suddenly felt as if it were torched on fire. He tasted even better than he smelled, like mint candy that somehow melted in your mouth. His warm tongue glided beautifully against mine as his fingers felt like soft rose petals brushing against my cheek.

What I would give to be able to see him.

My trembling hand rested as calmly as it is could on his thigh. The rough denim material of his jeans a hard contrast between the softness of his everything else.

The kiss felt like a lifetime that I never wanted to end. All of my fears and worries that had been brewing since the news of my discharge were tucked away for the time being as long as his lips were attached to mine.

"God I've been wanting to do this since the day we met." Austin whispered into the kiss, his smile twisting against mine just before he reconnected our lips.

"Really?" I mumbled, his mouth teasing mine as he pretending to pull away.

"Really sweetheart."

Fuck were we actually doing this? I mean, I just met this man. I had no idea who he was or what he looked like and here I was with full on French kissing him a week after we met in my hospital bed of all places. As much as my overthinking anxiety wanted to make its appearance from the woodwork, I pushed all of my common sense aside and focused on the amazing man infront of me. It didn't matter that we barely knew each other or that I was blind until further notice. Nothing mattered because I had never felt so exhilarated in my entire life.

Unfortunately our small moment of heaven quickly became short lived as I felt Austin abruptly break the kiss to the sound of the door opening, my heart skipping a beat as my blindness once again, left me sitting in the dark.

"Oh- shit, I'm- I'm sorry. Um- Juliana, Dr. Fernandez has cleared you for discharge. You can start getting dressed." Aria's voice was a low mumble, making it nearly obvious that she had seen us in our compromising position.

I could only nod, my body still unable to move as I heard her quickly exit the room as fast as she had entered.

"Did she-"

"Yep." Austin confirmed, not needing me to finish my question to know exactly what I was asking. "She saw everything."

"Okay I think I'm ready to get outta here. Even without my sight, I don't think I can face Aria after that."

We both broke out in small chuckle, briefly laughing at how just how amateur we were at not getting caught.

I felt his hands take ahold of mine, his warm touch becoming a sense of familiarity to me in my new life of darkness. His thumb brushed along the surface of my skin before he raised our grasp, planting a kiss on the back of my hand.

"We gotta get you dressed first beautiful." Austin said, bringing me to the realization that I hadn't worn anything besides a hospital gown for well over a week.

I felt him let go of his hold, making his way across the room as he shuffled around to look for my garments.

"Jules, you only have the clothes from the accident here."

"Oh- right. I-I don't have anything else. I've been wearing the clothes from the hospital since I've been here." I shook my head, wondering if they would allow me to leave with what I currently had on.

"Well you shouldn't have to wear these, they're completely torn and stained with blood. And it's freezing outside, you can't go out there in that gown." He said in a concerned voice, "I can bring you something to wear."
