You and Lena were on holiday, you had traveled to greece together. You had been together for about a 5 months, it was still freshly new and all you wanted was some alone time with your girlfriend. 

Lena always showed you how much she loves you, she was very affectionate and she made it known that she loved you very much. She'd sometimes buy you small gifts, take you on thoughtful dates and tell you how much she loved you. She never did anything to make you think she didn't love you.

You've always had problems with your image though. You never really liked the way you looked up until you met her.

"Come on out, i want to see it on you..."

You had both been staying at the hotel, it had a pool and lena wanted to go out for a swim. She even went out of her. way to buy you a bikini. There was nobody out in the pool but you were still self conscious about your body especially about the scars. 

"Um, give me a minute..." you said looking at yourself in the mirror. You didn't look bad but your brain instantly started to overthink. What would lena think? What if she realized it didn't look good? 

You were hoping she would think otherwise, you opened the bathroom door and smiled at her. She had been standing outside waiting for you, she walked in and smiled widely at you. She nodded like if she had just won something. You smiled and turned to look at yourself in the mirror, her face made you stop thinking the way you had been thinking.

"Do you like it?" you asked smiling at her, seeing her check you out through the mirror. She came up behind you and turned you back around to face her. "You look more than amazing- let me take a good look-" lena stopped herself. You looked at her, she was looking at your thighs. 

Her smile had faded. 

Her fingers ran over the scars, her eyebrows furrowed practically touching each other. "What...What is this baby?" lena asked looking up at you. You didn't know how to tell her, it was bound to happen though. "They're old." you told her. "It happened when i was younger lena.." you shook your head covering them up with your hands. 

"Don't cover them up...you don't have to." lena shook her head, you took your hands back to your sides. "Why did you..." lena asked. "I had problems with....with how i looked." you stuttered a bit. Lena's face softened, her hands cupped your face and she pulled you into a hug, her arms wrapped around your back. You closed your eyes and laid your head on her chest. 

"I...I. want you to know that you are really- and i mean this...you are beautiful." lena whispered as she held you closely, she pulled away from the hug and looked down at you. "I couldn't have asked for a girlfriend more beautiful than you." lena said looking into your eyes.  

You smiled up at her and nodded. "Thank you..i'm sorry for not telling you sooner." you apologized. "You have nothing to be sorry for...you tell me everything when you feel it's right to." lena smiled at you.  She leaned down and. placed a kiss on your lips, she smiled and turned you around to face the mirror. 

She stood behind you and looked at you through the mirror. 

"My beautiful girl." she kissed the side of your neck.
