Chapter 9 – Shopping with Brother

Derek's POV

Edwin was so twitch during this whole process. He had tried this suit on at least 30 times since his first fitting. He was convinced at one of these many fittings he either got fat or lost weight.

"Derek, the suit it looks good right? I just want this whole day to be perfect for Lizzie."

"Its fine trust me Edwin, tomorrow you're going to marry Lizzie and trust me what you're wearing isn't the most important thing."

I started thinking about how I was going to win Casey back. When Edwin once again spoke. "Derek what happened between you and Casey?" Why would he ask this question? What is wrong with my brother? Maybe if I pretend like I didn't hear him we could just move on. "Come on answer me, what happened you two were so set to prove everyone wrong that you could make a marriage between two people who hated each other could last longer than the sex was good."

"It was never about the sex Edwin!" I turned to face him.

Edwin's POV

The look on Derek's face was of pure anger.

"I love Casey with my whole heart. She is the best thing that ever happened to me. And I would do anything in this world to make sure she was happy." I could hear the sincerity in his voice, "What happened between us had nothing to do with falling out of love Edwin, it was all just bullshit!"

He walked out of the store at that point. I didn't mean to hit a nerve just no one has talked about Derek and Casey in four years. The two of them avoided our house if the other would be there. But then I realized something Derek said 'love' not 'loved'. Could my brother still love his ex-wife? I mean Lizzie told me how just last night she saw Derek and Casey dancing in the kitchen and Casey looked so happy. Maybe they both still love each other. I can go back to having Casey one holiday and Derek the next holiday it's not right, poor Marti gets so upset when it's only one of them. I remember her last birthday; Casey actually called home to say she couldn't make it. We all knew what she didn't come; it would put Casey at two holidays away in a row. But it meant Derek could come home for his sister's birthday.

My fitting was done and I made my way to find Derek. I had no idea where he had gone, just hope he didn't go home. But luckily I found him, in the jewelry store. I was confused why he would be in there. I mean he had told me plenty of times he hadn't been with a girl since Casey, shocking I know the Great Derek with no girl on his arm. But he was talking to the guy at the counter about something in his hand. But I couldn't see what it was. He handed whatever was in his hand over to the counter guy shook his hand and walked out of the store.

"Hey Derek what are you doing in there?" I shouted as I walked toward him.

"O that um my necklace the chain snapped that's all the guy is fixing it." And with that he walked toward the food court and I knew the conversation was over.
