Lauren pulled her girlfriend impossibly further into her chest as she awakened from the deep slumber she found herself in. Her movements made Camila slowly awake.

The older girl couldn't help the small grin inhabiting her features at the little noises Camila makes as she awakes, with a grunt she turns around in Lauren's arms. Brown orbs examine the older girls relaxed features with a glint before a grin overtakes her face to match her girlfriends.

"Hi," Camila mumbles into the older girls chest.

"Hi baby," Lauren replies into the smaller girls brunette locks.

The two sit in comfortable silence for a few moments, enjoying each other's presence before Lauren decides to break the silence.

"Camila?" She calls out into the room that was soaked in the early morning light.

The smaller girl simply hums in response, still enjoying the barely awake phase, and the feel of her girlfriends naked body pressed against her own.

"I-I... um." Lauren scrunches up her eyebrows as she tries to figure out the best way to talk to her girlfriend.

Camila sits up with confusion laced on her features, wrapping the sheets around her torso. "What's wrong, Lauren?"

The raven haired girl sits up, pulling the blanket up and covering herself so she could properly talk to her girlfriend.

"I was thinking a lot about last night..." Lauren looks to the bed as she thinks over what to say next, "And-"

"D-did I do something wrong?" Camila questions as she insecurely wraps the sheet tighter around her body.

"No, baby, no. I was just going to ask if... i-if I did anything wrong." Lauren nervously plays with her fingers as she avoids eye contact with the younger girl.

Camila scrunches up her brows in confusion, "What?"

"Did I do anything wrong?"

"Lauren what the hell are you talking about you know that whole night was incredible to me... was it not for you?" Insecurity begins to spark in the smaller girls chest.

"Wh- Camila! No, that whole night was incredible it was amazing it was one of the best nights, an unforgettable night!" Lauren nervously babbles as her jade orbs dart around the room to try and find the right words to reassure her girlfriend.

Camila reaches out for Lauren's hand to try and politely get her to shut up. "Okay, okay," She nervously laughs. "So what's going on? Tell me what's running through that beautiful mind."

Lauren inhales a deep breath, connecting her gaze with Camila's. "I'm just going to come out and say it, alright?"

"Don't tell me you have an STD."

Lauren instantly coughs on air as she rapidly shakes her head no. Her jade orbs bugging out of their sockets at the accusation. "N-no! Camila!"

"Well come on," Camila giggles as she watches her girlfriend get so bent out of shape. "Tell me."

Lauren takes a few moments to regain herself before she's looking back up at Camila. "So I know... I know about your past experience with... sex. And I uh, I know that they weren't good to you, and they took advantage of you." Lauren shakily breathes out as tears well in her eyes. "I was thinking about this last night after you fell asleep and I got so scared, Camz. I need to know that I didn't hurt you like they did. I n-need to know that I'm not like them, that I was good to you. I-I'm so scared that I hurt you and it's been killing me all night, I know you deserve better and you deserve more than me but I just want to do everything I can to make you happy and keep you safe." Lauren practically sobs out, "It'll kill me if I did but I need to know if I hurt you."
