The headlines were going crazy over Emilia's new song and performance. The fact that it was dedicated to Benito had everyone buzzing. She wondered what he thought and if he saw it. After her performance she was getting offered interviews and performances at other places, in which she declined. She did not want to answer questions about Benito , especially since she took a step forward without him knowing.

Meanwhile Benito was at home , still processing everything. He was eating a bowl of cereal when his phone rang it was Becky.

" Hello." He answered.

" I already know , I see it. You love her the same way she loves you. You and Emilia still have unfinished business. Know that I'll always support you , but I know your happiness isn't with me and that I am not the love of your life." Becky spoke.

All Benito said was gracias before hanging up. Benito knew what he needed and wanted to do. Raul informed Benito that Emilia should be in PR by the weekend. So until then he would have to wait patiently. Meanwhile , she was still in Miami anxious not knowing if she would ever see Benito.

The days flew by and Emilia was already back home in Puerto Rico. She was home alone on the couch catching up on some shows. Nicole had gone out around noon , she has no clue where or with whom. Soon Emilia would prepare dinner for herself , as Nicole said to not worry about her. Emilia was enjoying her alone time but , she felt lonely.

As the episode came to an end , she decided to begin cooking dinner. As she began to boil the pasta , the door bell rang. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. Nicole basically said she would be sleeping out and she has not spoken to anyone.
The door bell rang again , causing Emilia to run to the door. She was in a crop top and pajama pants her hair tied up.

She opened the door and she was taken back. She was not expecting him to be standing at her doorstep , comfy in sweats , slides , and his curls nicely styled. Her heart was now pounding out of her chest.

" Hi." Emilia said at lost for words.

" quires compañía?" He asked as she softly nodded.

She closed the door behind him as he came in.

" my pasta !" She suddenly exclaimed and ran to the kitchen.

Benito followed closely behind her like a lost puppy and watched as she drained the pasta. She then proceeded to prepare the sauce. Benito's mouth watered as he watched. It was silent but , it wasn't awkward.

" huele rico , hay pa mi?" He asked softly with the cutest face.

She couldn't help but smile indicating yes. Once it was ready she served them both a plate. She placed a plate in front of him as he thanked her. She then sat across from him. He took a bite and moaned in delight as it was so good. She giggled as she began to eat herself. As she ate Benito looked at her, He missed this.

" what ?" Emilia asked with a laugh as she noticed.

" nothing , eres bella." He laughed as her stomach flipped.

They continued to eat and once they were done he helped her with the dishes. Once they were done they made their way back to the living room. As Emilia was about to sit , Benito swiftly spun her around.

Emilia looked up at him , her hazel eyes meeting his brown ones. He took her hands in his as he stood in front of her.

" I saw your performance." He said softly , making her nervous.

" I've been lying to myself this whole time. Yo te amo , tu eres el amor de mi vida. I was scared of the past." He confessed.

" But the past was a mistake, I love you. I've never stopped loving you." Emilia answered.

" ni yo tampoco." Benito confessed with a smile.

" enséñame ." Emilia whispered against his lips in which drove him crazy.

You know what came next ...

The next morning , Benito and Emilia woke up in each other's arms on her couch. A blanket being the only thing covering their bare bodies. Emilia's eyes fluttered opened as she yawned. Benito was already awake , he smiled. He hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead.

" extrañe esto , te extrañe a ti." Benito said as he kissed her forehead, Emilia smiled. 

" By any chance do you think , Nicole and Raul are dating behind our back ?" She asked randomly.

" one hundred percent." Benito said certainly.

" I mean esos dos se tenían ganas desde antes." Emilia giggled.

" awww , que lindos." Benito said instantly laughing.

Suddenly both their stomach growled.

" vamos a comer afuera, un date tu y yo ?" He asked in which she happily agreed.

This was them giving themselves another chance.
