“ look who did get his girl in the end ! ” he repeats after her, pointing at himself. benoit was never in it to win it – in terms of the monetary prize that most love island contestants are baited with, anyway. but the possibility of actually winning the show ( in every sense of the word ) on the horizon, he was feeling pretty optimistic; more than his usual. ceanna’s presence and question are welcomed with another of his signature bright smiles. “ i feel like what people probably mean when they say they’re over the moon, ” he admits, a content sigh escaping him. “ i don’t know if we’ll win, seeing as we have rome & sevda, and minkyu & babylon to compete with— oh, not to mention, you & ellie are going to make a pretty hot couple too, ” he narrows his gaze at her with a sly little smile. “ you & ellie, huh ? i did not see that coming. you two are going to be popular, i can feel it. i have a pretty good hunch about these things. technically, talking to you is fraternizing with the competition right now. is that your strategy ? ” he playfully jokes, maintaining a serious demeanor that lasts only a few seconds.
it was cute watching him become so excited, like a puppy that’s been chasing a bone and finally was able to snatch it in the end. “i’d love for my girl, sev, to win it all, but sadly i think rome has made too many enemies for people to truly root for him. most of the audience isn’t going to be happy that he broke up the world’s greatest couple,” she teases with a light laugh. “but you could be right about minkyu and babylon. they’ve been pretty close since the beginning as well, but i feel that’ve kept too low of a profile for people to truly notice them for most of the show.” she can’t help but smile confidently at his words, soon tossing her hair back in a flattering motion. “you think so? even with me coming so late into the game? i mean, we are fucking stunning together, so we’ll see what the audience thinks.” his comment makes her chuckle under her breath, her eyes glancing over at him with a raised eye brow. “mm, you caught me. honestly? let’s just say it’s a good thing ellie picked me and not someone else, otherwise you and ingrid might not have gotten your happy ending after all.” sure, ellie was her first pick and she was content with the two being paired up, but there was no denying that her and ingrid could’ve become a power couple had she been here from the very beginning. plus, she was curious to see how much her words might effect him or put some kind of doubt in his mind. “but that’s not really important now, is it? what’s done is done, and i’m excited to get to know ellie more. the poor girl barely got the attention she truly deserved, so i’ll be sure to change that while i still have the time to do so.”
