"Okay, now they're kissing." Danny moves his eyes away.
Juan leans forward as he studies the view of his sister with Erick. "Let them have fun while they still can. Not like it's going to last." he says with his devilish grin. With that, Danny drives away from the street.
Just before Erick lets the kiss heated up Bella decided to break it. She then looks away with her cheeks redden. "My lips remember you." Erick tells her.
"We should go take Jaime back now." Bella immediately stands up.
They go back to Anitta's house, pick up Jaime and go straight to their house. While Bella is tucking Jaime in, Erick leans his side onto the door frame with his arms crossed.
As she turns around and noticed that he's there watching her, Bella looks down to the floor. "Why did you break the kiss?" he asked as he took a few steps forward, closer to her.
"It's late, Erick. I'm going to sleep." she steps aside and walk pass him.
"I don't understand. I know you love me. Then why don't you let me try to love you back?" Erick asks, following behind her.
Bella ignores him, so as they entered their room Erick reached for her hand. "Bella, why?" he asks.
Bella turns around with tears pooling in her eyes. She looks down to her hand that Erick is holding, then looks back to Erick's face.
"Because it will never be the same. You're different now. You're not the same Erick and I can't continue lying to myself." she starts crying as she says it.
Erick holds her arms and looks straight into her eyes. "You've been keeping everything up for a while now. Tell me everything you feel. Where did I go wrong?" he asks.
They both sat on the bed. Bella controls her sob and inhales deeply as she rest her hand on his thigh. "Just know that it's not your fault. You did nothing wrong." she tells him.
"I've loved you for years. We went upside down, of course. That's what makes my love for you stronger. But now after the accident, you're here but I'm not feeling the same feelings you used to give me. Your heart wasn't here. You're willing to try but I don't want you to force yourself. I can't be selfish, Erick. Not to you."
Erick stays in silent, but Bella's words touched his heart. "You're never selfish. I was the one asking for a kiss." he reaches his finger to her face and wipes her damp cheeks.
He stares at her face while doing that. His heart starts beating in an awkward rhythm like it's wanting him to follow what it's telling him to do. Closing his eyes, Erick leans over and kisses her again.
Bella kissed him back. As she closes her eyes another drop of tears escaped from her eyes. "Trust me I'm not even forcing myself." he whispers to her as he brushes his lips on hers.

They locked their eyes on each other. Slowly and gently, Erick lays her down under him. "Don't hold yourself." he runs his hand in her hair.
Isabella is breathing heavily as she looks at him. She wants him, but what if he's doing it just because he feels sorry for her? As if they could feel each other's heart, Erick strokes her shoulder to ease her up.
"I'll stop if you want me to." he tells her. It's almost inaudible, like he's hoping she'll tell him not to stop.
Bella shook her head. "Just do it. Unless you don't want to." she answers, moving her hand to his waist.
"Trust me, I want to." Erick replies, lowering his head to kiss her neck. He does it soft and slow, allowing her to back off if she starts to feel uneasy about it.

The way he touches her is still the same, Bella tells herself. That's how he does it everytime she forgives him after he messed up. He's being careful, afraid that he'll hurt her.
While Erick undo the zip of his jeans and lowering it down, Bella takes off her panties. She then grabs Erick's arm, drawing his eyes on her.
"Are you sure about this?" she asks.
Erick grins at her question. "It's supposed to be my line." he tells her. "And yup, I'm sure. What about you?"
Bella nods silently in response. "Then let's do it." Erick leans down and kiss her one more time as he slowly cupping her breasts, playing his finger with her nipples.
As soon as he made his entrance Bella tilts her head back. She has been longing for this for a while. Her body misses this feeling. She can't believe she can feel it again.
Her stomach clenches as he pulls out and push himself in again. Their body arise and fall in the same rhythm. As he told her to, she's not holding back anymore.
She raised her hands to the back of his head, burying her fingers in his hair. She pulls his head down, breathing "I miss you." in his ears.
That night tells Bella that it doesn't matter if he doesn't remember. The way he does her is what matters. They can still live together, picking up from where they left it and build their future from there. She loves him, with or without their memories.
He asked her to let him try to love her back, she thinks after this she's going to let him do. Or so she thought, until she wakes up at 4 in the morning to an empty bed.
