"Guys is this really necessary?" You asked as you glanced at yourself in the mirror "We don't know who this boy is...what if he doesn't like me like this?"

Luisa smiled, "He'll love you no matter what." She began wiping your face "Here we'll do something more you and less us."

The other girls nodded and you grinned "Thanks."

"Dolores, do you know who the boy is?" Isabela asked.

The second oldest smiled "I do! I can hear him pacing right now. He's nervous."

Mirabel immediately shook her cousin "TELL ME!"

"Nope. My lips are sealed." Dolores shrugged and turned to you "Are you ready?"

"I think so..." You looked at yourself in the mirror and smiled.

Isabela jumped out of her chair "Wait! She moved her hand and a f/f appeared in your hair. "There all done!"

Luisa giggled "You look beautiful Y/n. Now you should get going, it's almost 10."

"Oh yeah! Adios! I'll come see you guys after!" You waved before running out of the room and out of the Casíta.

The girls all looked to Dolores who immediately went out to the window "Are we staying here or going closer?" She asked.

"I say stay here just in case." Luisa suggested.

Isabela shook her head "No! Come on, we have to see it!"

Mirabel nodded in agreement "Isa's right! Let's go!"

You fiddled with your fingers as you walked down towards the fountain. You couldn't believe you were about to find out who was leaving you such thoughtful letters everyday. You began to take deep breaths as you approached the beautiful candlelit picnic set up, you noticed another letter and immediately sat down to read it.

'I can't believe it's time mi amor. Tonight I will finally confess my feelings towards you in person. I hope you won't be disappointed.'

You smiled at the letter "Oh I won't be..." You whispered.

A hand touched your shoulder making you jump and turn around. Standing there in the moonlight was Camilo "Hola Príncesa..."

"Camilo..." Your eyes lit up "It's you!" You stood up wrapping your arms around his neck "I can't believe it's really you!"

He flushed a deep red "Wo-wow you're really excited." He bent down on one knee placing a soft kiss onto your lips as he always does "I take it that you liked my letters and gifts?"

"I loved it cariño." You laughed softly. "It was sweet."

Camilo gently pulled you down to the picnic blanket "Mariposa I love you more than you can understand. Just seeing you makes my day better."

You stopped him "One question. If you love me so much why do you constantly flirt with other girls?"

"To distract myself from how much I long to be with you every moment of my life." He grabbed your hands and just held them. "I'm sorry if that upsets you mi vida...now that i've finally told you in person I won't be doing that anymore."

You blushed "Oh mi príncipe...I love you too. I have for a while..."

He grinned "Really? How long is a while?"

"Honestly ever since we first met." You took a cocada from the basket "Remember when you first called me mi vida?"

Camilo laughed "Yeah! It was my gift ceremony and I heard Papa call Mamí mi vida so I asked what it meant, he explained it to me and then I ran off to find you just so I could annoy you with mi vida all night." The curly haired boy watched you with strong admiration as you laughed remembering that night "Oh what about when Abuela was convinced we were dating back when we were 10?"
