Your Twinkling Eyes

Tami 🦋
"Baby, Sit next to me." Naomi said pushing me away from the booth making space for Derin.
I looked at her in disbelief, walking over to Kemi sitting next to her.
"Jerk" I heard Kemi mutter sending glares her way.
We all sat comfortably in the restaurant as we waited for our food to arrive, Kemi and I watched Instagram videos on her phone while Naomi tried many times to shamelessly make out with Derin right in front of us.

We get it! He's yours, so stop being such a gank!

Although I could feel derin's eyes on me all through and I guess Naomi didn't like that because she tried doing a lot of things to get his attention. I laughed at the video Kemi and I were watching, curiousity peaking in for Derin as he asked what it was seeming bored of Naomi's endless talks about her YouTube channel.
"What're you guys watching?" He asked curiously looking over to us.
"It's this skit that Hannah and Anwar Jibawi posted on Instagram and it's mad funny" I answered still laughing.

"Lemme see" he said collecting Kemi's phone and watching it before I heard him laugh out loud.
"They're both so crazy" Kemi said with a smile
"I know right.." he said handing her back her phone.

"Babe, you're still going to help me plan the party I'm throwing this weekend right?" Naomi suddenly said getting all of our attentions.
"You really wanna throw a party?" Derin asked incredulously
"Yes, babe we talked about this.." she whined causing him to shrug

"What party?" Kemi asked curiously
"It's just a random party to celebrate me getting to five thousand subscribers on YouTube" she answered proudly
"Wow, good for you.." Kemi replied seeming impressed.

"Your folks alright with it?" Derin asked
"They're not going to be around for a month so I see no reason why I shouldn't have my party" she answered sounding spoilt.

"Uhm alright, I'll talk to some of the guys about it" Derin said causing her to squeal happily hugging him
Dramatic much..

"Thanks babyy" She said with a smile
"You guys are coming for the party right?" Derin asked his eyes on me, his request surprising us.
He wanted us at his girlfriend's party?.. shocker.

"Uhhh.." I muttered subtly glancing at Naomi to see that she had a huge scowl on her face.
"Yeah?" He asked watching me intently waiting for my answer.
"I don't know.." I answered ignoring Naomi's glares.

"You're coming whether you like it or not" he said firmly.
"Yes!" Kemi said with a smile.
"Baby, she obviously doesn't want to come. Don't force her" Naomi added sweetly causing me to roll my eyes.

"Babe, stay out of this.. Tami you're coming to that party okay" Derin said giving me a firm look causing me to nod my head in agreement.
"Good" he answered giving me a charming smile our eyes locked on each other has we had a small moment before Naomi quickly ruined it by making fake groans.

"Babe, what's wrong?" Derin asked in worry looking over to her as he watched her clutch her stomach in her hands.
"Faker" Kemi whispered in disgust into my ears as I watched Naomi act out a scene for us.

"My tummy hurts.." she whined.
"How come?, did you eat something bad?" Derin asked in worry, concern fanning over his features as he held her closely to him. My blood boiled in jealousy as I watched him tender closely to her, his eyes not straying from her face.
I didn't like it one bit.
"It's probably cramps baby, just please take me home.." she whined continuing with her pathetic cries.

She knew what she was doing, she was trying to get Derin away from me. So she resulted to faking being sick just so he'd tender to her and leave me with Kemi all alone in the restaurant.
I wasn't going to let her get away with this.
"Naomi, I have some painkillers that'll help stop the pain.. do you care for some?" I asked giving her a small smirk causing Kemi to snort in amusement
