Three things have been nagging at my mind all day. First was it true, did I still love Derek like Kate said, I mean sure I still get butterflies when he looks at me and I can't stop thinking about him but that means nothing. Right? Second thing I have been thinking about was that he remembered our anniversary. I know I remembered our anniversary because let's face it how could I forget that day, it's been forever imprinted in my head. The fact that he remembers puzzles me because he never remembered the four years we were together. Last but not least what was Grace going to say to me tonight would she choose another maid of honor, will he tell her that we lost our virginity's to each other. Then it hit me she knew, she knew that I lost it when I was in college to a guy named Eric, and now that Derek was going to tell her we dated all through college. Fuck. I. Am. So. Screwed. Before I could completely fathom what this was going to do to my friendship with Grace my phone started to ring. I looked at the number and surprisingly it said Derek. "Hello Casey speaking?" I answered. "I told her about us." He said. "What exactly did you say to her?" I asked. "The truth, everything from our first kiss, to the break up, yes that includes the sex not in details. I told her that I loved you so much and that I had bought a ring and was going to ask you the day you ended it." He began. I interrupted "You bought a ring?" I whispered just loud enough that he could hear. "Yes I bought a ring." he responded. "What did you end up doing with it?" I couldn't help but asking. "Doesn't matter, what does matter is while she is super pissed at you for not telling her, and wanted to postpone the wedding because I lied about everything, but I was able to talk her out of it for now, but nothing is set in stone." he replied. Am I a bad person for feeling elated for the two seconds I thought the wedding was off? "I'm probably going to get an earful when I see her tonight aren't I."I said worried. "Yeah you will, I have to go I will talk to you later." He said. "Ok I will see you soon." I replied. "Just so you know Princess I kept it." He said then immediately hung up before I could say anything. Did he just say what I thought he just said, he kept the ring and he called me Princess it's been a while since I heard that moniker. Time to think about that later now it's time to face Grace. I walked out of my hotel room closed the door walked to the elevators and before I could press the button, the door dinged opened and out walked Grace. "I can explain" I began but she cut me off. "You slept with my fiancé and you didn't tell me." She said. "In my defense, I slept with him four years ago when we were together." I replied knowing that probably wasn't going to make things better but it was worth a try. "How could you not tell me that you two were together?" Grace said. "Because I love you and your happiness and his happiness is all that really matters to me." I replied I know it sounds corny but it was true. "That is so sweet, but you still should have told me!" She smiled. "So what are you going to do about Derek?" I asked I had to know. "I really don't know." She replied honestly.
