It was 3 in the morning and Charlotte began to stir in her sleep. She turned around to see Mia fast asleep with a little smile on her face. Charlotte watched Mia as she wondered what she could be dreaming about with how peaceful she looked. Charlotte felt so in love with Mia and wanted to be with her for the rest of her life. She couldn't imagine life without Mia in it. The way she makes her laugh. The way she constantly complements her. The way she looks at her, Charlotte couldn't picture anything more perfect than Mia.

Mia's fringe fell in front of her face, so Charlotte went to move her hair behind her ears. The gentle touch was enough for Mia to wake up. She fluttered her eyes open to see Charlotte staring at her. "Sweetheart, what time is it. Why are you awake?"

"I can't sleep. But your face distracted me from trying to get back to sleep." Charlotte said.

Mia moved closer to Charlotte. She moves a piece of her hair behind and cupped her cheek. They looked into each other's eyes. Charlotte's breath starts to get heavier. Charlotte moves her hand into Mia's hair to pull her even closer and starts to kiss Mia. The kiss was gentle and soft. It was taking in one another's love. Admiring both soft lips.

Mia slowly moves and is now on top of Char. Their kisses begin to get deeper and more passionate. Charlotte moves her hand from Mia's hair, down her back to the bottom of the night shirt. Mia lets go of Charlotte and lifts her arms up as Charlotte hastily pulls Mia's top off. Mia then grabs the bottom of Char's top to do the same thing. Mia, straddling Char, takes in everything she's looking at. Every last one of Char's freckles, her curves, before leaning back down to passionately kiss her.

Charlotte's stomach begins to feel heavy. Filled with butterflies and the need for Mia to have her. "Amelia please" she whispered.

"Are you sure sweetheart. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable". Mia said to Char.

Even though Mia and Charlotte were spending a lot of time together, they had not crossed the line fully yet. As this was such a new thing for Charlotte, Mia wanted to make sure she was fully ready as it would be such a huge step in the relationship. Although they had their spicey facetime call, this was physically taking a new step with one another.

Charlotte looked at Mia, biting her lip and simply nodded. Mia smiled and began to kiss Charlotte again. She has one hand in Char's hair and the other wondered down to her chest and began to message her breasts, taking her time with each one. Slowly she moved the same hand down Char's stomach and to the top of her shorts. She paused her hand for a second to feel or see any uncertainty in her face but didn't see any. This was the signal to carry on. She moved her hand under Char's shorts to realise how wet she was for Mia's touch. Mia chuckled "Sweetheart. You're so wet". "I want you Mia" was all Charlotte could let out.

Mia made slow movements at first. This was the first time being physically intimate together and they both wanted it to be special. Charlotte's breathing got heavier the more Mia moved her fingers around whilst still locking lips. Mia moved her lips down to Charlotte's neck, kissing hard enough to start to leave marks.

Mia began to pick up the pace as Charlotte starts to moan. It didn't take long before Charlotte was at the edge before she snapped. Mia kept her fingers where they were as Charlottes breath began to slow down. Charlotte grabbed Mia's hair to bring her back to her lips to kiss her passionately. As Charlotte started to get her breath back, she moved her own hand down Mia's stomach to the top of her shorts. But before she could move her hand any further, Mia grabbed her hand quickly.

"Oh I'm sorry Mia... I ummm..."

"Sweetheart. It alright. It's not you" Mia replied.

"Mia what is it? Why won't you let me see or be intimate with you?" Charlotte asked Mia. "Is it me?" she continued.

Mia couldn't believe Charlotte even thought that. "No sweetheart. Not at all and don't ever think it's you. You're gorgeous. I want to.. with you.. I umm" Mia couldn't bring her words out.

"Mia it's alright. It's just because this would be the second time and I'm sorry but I heard you that time after you thought I was asleep on Facetime. You sounded amazing but I was confused on why you waited until I was asleep" Charlotte couldn't help but let all her thoughts out.

Mia looked down at her lap. "I didn't know you heard me on Facetime. I feel so embarrassed"

"Oh my gosh. Don't be embarrassed. Is there something bothering you darling?" Charlotte strokes Mia's arm. Mia wasn't sure if she was ready to open up. It wasn't about being embarrassed. It meant she would be letting someone in, which she wasn't used to doing. Mia and Charlotte both sat up and Charlotte grabbed Mia's hands and gave a little smile to reassure her everything will be alright.

"You know how I used to be Roger's puppet?" Mia started. Charlotte nodded.

"It wasn't just about being with Reece. When Reece and myself would be on a break, it meant I was not completing my job to Roger. He used to get really angry with me. I remember the first time Reece broke up with me and I had to tell Roger. I didn't think anything of it until I saw his face see red. It was like he had something planned like he knew this could happen.

He went on his phone and within minutes a man showed up. It all went so fast after. All Roger said before I left was "if you don't get back with him, things will not get better for you". Before I could even think about what he was saying, I was being dragged out by my hair into a room by the man and he locked the door behind me. I was screaming for help, and no one could hear me. He punched me around the face, and I fell to the floor. I just remember laying there crying. I thought if I pretend he knocked me out, he will leave and he did. I had to get back with Reece. I didn't want this to happen again.

Well, we all know we were constantly breaking up. The final time we did, I didn't even make a sound when I was dragged back into the room. I just braced myself for the battering I was going to get. This time he didn't punch me.... He walked over to me and ripped my clothes off. 10 minutes later I was laying on the floor. All I could think was how much I didn't want to be awake. I don't even know how long I was laid there. Maybe hours. I slowly sat up and saw how much I was bleeding. I had to somehow go to the doctors and get myself sorted. I had to get stitches which has left me with a scar. A reminder of what evil person I was to listen to Roger and ruin other people's lives.

I haven't been with anyone since. I get scared and think that they're using me. But I'm not scared of you. I'm embarrassed and nervous you would see the scar and feel repulsed by me. At first, I thought I deserved this treatment, but you made me see the better in me. I'm not a bad person Char. I..."

Mia began to cry, and Charlotte grabbed her and pulled her close. She wasn't sure of what to say so took this time just to comfort her love. "It's okay my love. Let it all out. You don't have to be scared anymore. I'm never leaving you".

Mia's cries began to shallow, and she sat back up to look at Charlotte. They looked into each other's eyes. "Char. I umm. I'm really sorry if you wasn't ready to hear that. I really like you and I hope I haven't ruined what we had go...."

"Amelia. Listen to me" Charlotte cupped Mia's teary face. "You have not ruined anything. If anything, you have made me like you even more and I feel grateful that you found trust in me to tell me. Our relationship doesn't revolve around sex. I would wait forever to be with you when you're ready... I love you"

Mia's eyed widened. No one had said they loved her before. Reece could never bring himself to say it so she couldn't believe Charlotte said it. "I love you too" Mia replied.

Charlotte leant forward to softly kiss Mia's lips then cradled her love. Charlotte laid back down and opened her arms out for Mia. Mia smiled and laid her head on Charlotte's chest, arms wrapped around her waist. Charlotte kissed the top of Mia's head and played with her hair until Mia fell asleep. She gave her one more kiss on the top of her head and held her tightly before going to sleep herself.
