that is your Change address. read this for the explanation of how things work https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Change

if you want to put your mind at ease then in your Preview page, copy the yellow highlighted address and go back to main window of your wallet, go to Addresses tab (if it is not visible from menu select View > Show addresses) now that you are here press Ctrl + F to see a search box appear at the bottom, now paste your copied address here. the list above should be filtered to only show this address. if you don't see it from the  two drop down boxes for filtering select Change in first one and ALL in the second. you should see your address here.

...or you can go to Console (if you don't see it enable from menu View > Show console) and use the following code:
Code:
ismine("paste_your_copied_address_here")
this should show as true.

if you don't want to use Change addresses go to:
Tools > Preference > (Transactions tab) > (uncheck the box saying) Use change addresses

When I tried to send BTC I open up the preview page
Outputs show 2 target addresses
one is the actual transaction another is very high amount
like

[target address]  2.
[another address with yellow highlighted] 246.29

actually I want to transfer 2.0 but in the inputs
show 248.29
and the Fee show as 0.0000526

What is the other address if the transaction fee is not that high
