Kathy's POV

We talked for hours.  It's 4:22am.  Michael fell asleep with his arms around me.  I smile to myself.  The song Un-thinkable (I'm Ready) by Alicia Keys keeps playing in my head.  The song is the mood I'm feeling right now.  I'm so ready to be Michael's baby.  Right now,  He's all I can think about.  He just feels right.  

I groan knowing I'll have to get up soon and join Daniel.  I should call off the wedding.  Yes.  Save everyone precious time and... Well it's my money I'm saving.  I don't want to hurt Daniel, but he's just not the one.  But what about the reaction from the world?  They'll be mad at me.  I'll probably never work again.  The two most loved people in the world don't get married.  I can see it in the headlines.

They'll all feel sympathy toward Daniel since I called off the wedding.  I would be the enemy.  Would I risk all that happening to be with Michael?

I slowly slip from his arms and go back into my bedroom.  I get into my bed and Daniel puts his arms around me.  I used to love that.  Now..now it feels uncomfortable.  Two hours later, the alarm goes off.  I turn it off and go into the bathroom.  I get in the shower and just let the warm water wash off any evidence of last night.  I hear Daniel come in.

"Hey, baby, mind if I join?"

"Actually, I do."

"Well, what's got you riled up this morning?"

What do I say?  Well, I actually did get bad news last night while they were out.

"I found out last night that the singer we booked can't make it."

I hear him peeing. 

"How can he not make it in three months?"

I put my face under the water and say, "I don't know.  Something about his father."

"That's crazy.  What do we do?"

"Hire someone else I guess."

I turn the water off and wrap my body in a towel.  I open the shower door and step out.

"Oh, and Michael is in the guest room."

Daniel looks at me through the mirror.  He's brush his teeth.  He mumbles through the toothpaste bubbles,

"Why?"

"He dropped his keys at the club you guys went too.  So, I let him stay here."

Memories of the kitchen swarm my brain.  I get rid of them and wait for Daniel's answer.  He seemed nervous.

"He, uh, he tell you anything else about the club last night?"

I shake my head. "No, why?"

Daniel's POV

 I just backed myself up into a corner.  If I say "Oh nothing" I'll make myself look suspicious.  Damn it.  I'm sorry Michael.

"Nothing, just Michael was pretty hammered last night.  Every time I saw him he was with a different girl.  Man sure knows how to party."

For some odd reason, she looked hurt.  Like Michael cheated on her.  Did he say something to her?  Does she know?

"Oh, well, he is single you know."

I nod.  She leaves the bathroom and goes into her closet to change.  I dodged a bullet with that one, but why did she look so upset?  Maybe it's about the singer.  We can always hire another singer.  Women, so emotional.

Kathy's POV

He just used me! I should have known!  Everyone takes advantage of me.  But what he did was dirty!  I should sue him!  No...no, I don't want this public.  Well, he is so fired!  But, Daniel wants his tiger and I don't want him finding out.  Shit.  I wipe my tears and get dressed.  All I can do is make him jealous and angry.  Damn you, MICHAEL! 

I punch my closet door in anger. 

"Baby! We can hire another singer! Calm down."
