Author's note: Is anyone still reading this? Can you please review and let me know what you think of this story. Thanks.
Amy and I went to the bar connected to the hotel. "Ok so tell me what you're doing here," I said once we had sat down at a table.
"Well I'm guessing you know Matt and I broke up."
"Yeah he told me. What happened with you two? I thought you guys were the perfect couple."
"He asked me to marry him."
"So what was the problem?"
"I think he only asked me because Jeff is engaged to Trisha."
"Wait. Did you just say Jeff and Trisha are engaged?"
"Yeah. They've been dating only six months and are engaged."
"Neither one of them strike me as marrying people." The waitress took our orders.
"They're not. Both of them have sworn they would never get married. But that changed when Jeff and Trish started going out. And then right after Jeff told us that he asked Trish to marry him, Matt asked me."
"But haven't you been waiting for him to ask you for the last year and a half?"
"Yes, but I want him to ask me because he wants to marry me, not because he wants to get married before his baby brother."
"I can understand that. But why are you talking to me instead of to Matt about this?"
"Because he won't listen to me. But I know that you are friends with him. And if anyone can get through to him its you."
"Why would I be able to get through to him better than his brother?"
"He's jealous that Jeff asked Trish to marry him and Trish said yes. Candy, please say that ya'll talk to Matt for me."
" *Sigh* Ok, I'll do it."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome. Hey where are you staying tonight?"
"I'll probably go get a room. I have to fly to New York tomorrow."
"Stay in my room with Mike, Ryan and I."
"Are you sure Mike won't mind?"
"I don't care if he minds or not."
"What is going on between you two anyway?"
"What do you mean what's going on? He came to bring Ryan to me."
"And why is he staying?"
"You're a great one to be prying into my relationship right now considering you don't have one of your own."
"Just tell me one thing, do you still love him?" I couldn't answer her. I personally didn't know the answer.
"You know it's getting late. We should get back upstairs."
"Why are you avoiding the subject?"
"I'm not avoiding anything. C'mon lets get back upstairs."
"Ok Okay. I can see this is a touchy subject. Let's go." We paid for our drinks and headed back up to the room. When we walked in, there were candles lit all around the room along with romantic music playing. Mike came out of the bathroom in his boxers with two glasses of wine in his hands. Ryan was still asleep on one of the beds. When Mike saw Amy with me he quickly shut off the music and turned on the lights. He ran back into the bathroom and put on a bathrobe. Amy was trying so hard not to laugh.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize we would have company," Mike said when he came back out of the bathroom.
"Mike, why exactly did u light candles?" I asked as we blew out the candles.
"Uh... I ... I...uh....ugh..."
"I'm sorry Candy and Mike. Maybe I should stay somewhere else."
"No. Amy, you can stay here. I'll go talk to Matt right now." I walked out without another word.
I walked to Matt's hotel room and knocked. He answered it a moment later. "Candy, hey? What are you doing here?" He asked holding the door in such a way that I couldn't see into the room.
"I need to talk to you. Have you got a minute?"
"Right now?" He looked over his shoulder.
"What are you hiding?"
"Nothing."
"Then why won't you invite me in? There was only one other time you wouldn't invite me into your room and that was when you and Amy were...uh...busy."
"No! Come on in, but please don't think things are how they look." He let me into the room. Stephanie was lying on the bed. She was sound asleep. I gave Matt a questioning look. "It's not what you think."
"Then explain it to me."
"I can't. Candy I'm sorry. I can't explain this one to you."
"Ok, well I'm gonna think it is what it looks like then."
"We're not together if thats what you're thinking. She is engaged to Paul and I would never do anything to mess that up on them. I'm happy for them. By the way, was there a reason you came here?"
