Brief Answer:
Looks like herpes only

Detailed Answer:
According to me it looks like herpes only.
Ask your girlfriend about past history of genital herpes.
This infection can also occur subclinically without any signs or symptoms.
For confirmation you can consult a doctor and go for Tzanck smear.

But base on what I know, herpes symptoms occurs few days after intercourse with the carrier. I was away from my girlfriend for a week, and wake up today to see this. If she carries herpes, it should have shown a long time ago right?

Brief Answer:
Symptoms can occur even 2 weeks after intercourse

Detailed Answer:
This is what I am trying to say that herpes infection is subclinical in many individuals.
Your girl friend might not be having any signs or symptoms of infection but she is carrying the virus.
The symptoms of infection can occur with between 3 days to 2 weeks after intercourse with an infected person.
