Glassheart: Auradon Taken Over

Part 124 - The Mirror

Red pov:

I had Chloe under me on the bed.

Red: Let me give you the love you deserve.

I kissed her everywhere she wanted. She was playing a little shy at first because there was a spot she was slightly embarrassed to say. I comforted her and didn't pressure her to tell me unless she was ready. We continued to kiss, and eventually, she gently put her hand on my chest, pushing me away and being ready to tell me. I let my gaze trail up until our eyes met. She turned pink as she took a deep breath.

Chloe: The place I'm shy about is....

She looked away for a moment before looking  back at me. I leaned back, giving her a little more space.

Red: I'm sorry.... Is it me being over you like this too intimidating?

I then got off sitting on the bed. She sat up and felt a little more relaxed. She took another breath.

Red: You really don't have to tell me if you're not ready, Chloe.....

Chloe: No, it's ok.... I want to. It's just very flustered.

She then was able to look at my eyes again.

Chloe: I sorta like should kisses.... while being hugged from behind.... I'm probably being too weird.

She tried to stand, but I blocked her with my arm.

Red: That's not weird.... if you want to try, I'll be happy to give it a shot.

Chloe: Really?

I nod. I stood up and gave her my hand as she grabbed it. I then gently twirled her around as I then hugged her from behind. I whispered over her shoulder.

Red: You just tell me if you want me to stop, ok baby?

I then moved her curls to one side as she tilted her head, giving me access to the side of the neck and shoulder. I then started to kiss her 1 gently kiss, letting my lips linger just a little before pulling away to see her reaction.

Red: Here I have an idea.

I then led her to the full body mirror we had in the corner of the room.

Red: Now I get to see you, and you can also see me.

Chloe turned Red before she let out a small sigh. I noticed her reaction... it didn't seem to be super positive.

Red: What wrong? Do you not like this idea?

Chloe: it's not that... I just don't always like seeing myself in the mirror.

I pull away in shock, still holding her waist. My gaze is full of concern as I notice her looking down embarrassed.

Red: Wait, why?

I then backed up and made her face me.

Red: Why don't you like the mirror? I don't understand....

Chloe: it's because I always end up comparing myself to others when I do.... you know how much I wanted to be perfect, especially when we first met.

Red: But you are perfect, Chloe.

Chloe: I don't feel perfect.... growing up, I always hoped I would look just as beautiful as my mom, but I never felt close to being as pretty as she was.

Red: But why compare yourself to her? You are you, Chloe.

Chloe: I've always mirrored my mom as much as I could because that's what I thought I needed to do to be just as perfect as her.... now that's she's gone, I don't have anyone to mirror, I started to feel less and less perfect.
