Eddie wakes up and extends his arm only to find the spot empty. He looks up and doesn't see Iris but hears murmurs coming from the living room. Getting up and walking toward the noise he can sense she's smiling just by the tone of her voice.

He's not wrong, Iris is actively talking to her best friend Barry. First thing in the morning most people check the weather, their schedule for the day, their email, not Iris. First thing she does is call her best friend. At first he understood, now it's just annoying and frustrating. He tries not to feel threaten by her best friend but when the first thing your girlfriend does after waking up is call her male best friend is hard not to. She doesn't always stay over but when she does, you can be 100% sure that the first thing she does is call her best friend like she didn't talk to him the night before. What bother him the most is that when she stays at her and Joe's house, she doesn't call him first thing in the morning. She calls Barry. Even on days Barry stays over at her house, she still calls him at work at 9:30AM every morning like they hadn't just talked at Jitters. He's a detective, he notices these things.

Watching her on the phone, her tone is light, and carefree. She laughs, a hearty laugh that only Barry seems to get from her. They share an inside joke that only they understand and he hates it.

He wishes she was as carefree with him as she is with Barry. He understands that they go way back and that Barry will always hold a special place in her heart. But no guy likes to see his girlfriend constantly hugging another guy. If she only knew how much he hated the way she constantly felt the need to hug Barry, or punch him on the arm, or tap his shoulder. It's like she couldn't keep her hands off of him.

Maybe he was imagining things, but there is definitely something going on with those two and he's getting tire of feeling like the third wheel. The worst is when Iris cups Barry's face, the way they look at each other you would think they are in love. Iris might be oblivious to her behavior but those around her are not. To those who don't know them it seems like she's dating Barry not Eddie.

Still he holds on. He knew what he was getting into for months now, but couldn't find it in himself to let go. Dating Iris while Barry was in a coma meant that she constantly talked about her best friend. At first it didn't bother him, but after a while you start to wonder if there was something going on between them before the coma.

He knows she loves him, and he loves her, so much. In the end hopefully that will be enough to change things.

"What is this."

"My cousin is getting married and has sent us a saved the date card."

"Aww, that's sweet. I love weddings."

"What woman doesn't."

"Weddings are beautiful, plus I love parties, and dancing, did I mention I love dancing?" Says Iris excited.

"Well you kind of stroke out on that one, I can't dance."

"That's not true."

"You calling me a liar."

"No, but you got two feet and you can move, if you can do that then you can dance."

"My prom date dump me because I kept stepping on her toes. Trust me I'm a horrible dancer." Says Eddied.

"I'll be the judge of that." Iris puts some music on her phone and stands up next to Eddie.

"Dance with me."

"No, Iris, I have two left feet."

"That's what Barry used to say and now he's great." Wow all of one minute without mentioning Barry that's got to be a record.

"Come on dance with me." He knows she's not going to let it go so he does it. It takes all of thirty seconds for her feet to be on fire.

"Okay. You have no rhythm. "

"I told you I was horrible."

"But that doesn't mean you can't dance. So we're going, and I'm expecting us to dance because that's my favorite part of weddings. The party."

"So you're a party girl huh?"

"Not the floozy kind but yeah I like to dance and have fun. Everyone one likes a party every now and then. What's the best party you ever attended? The one you had the most fun."

"College, sophomore year, frat party. That party was insane."

"Did you dance? Did you have fun.?"

"Yeah, then again I was drunk and so was everybody else, so I don't think everybody noticed my horrible dancing."

"Exactly it's the same at weddings. People are way too drunk to care whether you can dance or not."

"What about you, what's the best party you ever been, the one you had the most fun you ever had."

Iris smiled brightly. "Well it wasn't a party it was Junior prom, and it was AMAZING. We dance all night and had so much fun. I never had so much fun in my life. I remember thinking if I die tonight I would die a happy girl. Because it was just so magical We dance like there was no tomorrow, without a care in the world. It was just magnificent."

"Who was you date?"

"Barry." She says smiling brightly as she remembers that magical day.

Eddie's heart drops. Of course it was Barry, it's always Barry.

"I thought he was just your best friend, you never told me you dated."

"He is my best friend. We never dated, Barry only sees me as a sister, a best friend."

I doubt that, though Eddie. He saw the looks Barry gave his girlfriend. Being a detective meant he had to be observant and a blind man could see that Barry had more than friendship or brotherly love for Iris. But just like Iris was oblivious to her behavior, she seems to be obvious to her best friend's feelings for her. Maybe it was his jealousy making he see things and but even at the precinct before Barry got hit by lighting he suspected Barry had feelings for Iris.

So was he seen things? or was he seen things clearly?

"Anyway It's not a lost cause the wedding is in six months. I can ask Barry to teach you to dance." It's like Barry was the third partner in their relationship.

"Barry can dance?" Says Eddie not quite believing it.

"Everyone in the West household can dance. I'd ask dad but I think it might be weird for you and him. Barry is an amazing dancer. He can teach you."

"Really."

"After Barry moved in with us he had to adapt to us. My dad and I love putting music on when it's time to clean the house and often it would turn into a dance off. Poor bear couldn't dance to save his life so dad and I taught him and now he's amazing."

"Yeah you mentioned that."

"Then in senior year in high school he needed an art elective to graduate so I suggested the glee club. By the of the end of the year he was the lead singer and gave an awesome performance that won the school the championship. Of course he will deny it to the ends of the earth that he can move, but yes he can dance and he can sing like nobody's business. I always told him if he didn't become a scientist he should consider become a professional singer because damn he can sing. I actually look forward to getting sick, just to hear Barry sing to me."

"That is just weird."

"You still love me though, let me call bear." She said reaching for her phone.

"No, let me think about it okay."

"But…"

"Please."

"Okay fine babe. But you will learn how to dance, cause I intent to have fun."

"Okay" he replied unsure.

It was that weekend that he showed up to surprise Iris. Joe opened the door and Iris and Barry were dancing to Maroon Five's Moves Like Jagger.

His heart broke a little seeing them so comfortable together. They look like a couple just having fun.
