Your Twinkling Eyes

Thirty Four

Tami🦋
My date with Derin was a dream come true. I loved it and I never wanted it to end. It was so amazing, every bit, the way he held me close to him. The way he kissed me..
Everyday I dreamt about how it'll feel to be with Derin, how it'll feel to really kiss him and I can't believe I experienced all of that on our date..
He asked me to be his girlfriend, he told me he liked me.. he said I was the girl of his dreams..
Gosh I was falling hard for this boy.
My phone rang as i picked it up, Kemi's name flashing on the screen.
"Aaahhh! Tami! I saw your text! And I'm freaking out right now.. is it true? You and Derin are finally togetherrrrr!" She squealed happily over the phone making me laugh..

"Yes kems, he asked me to be his girlfriend on our date yesterday" I blushed as i remembered
"Ohmygod! This is so crazy! How in the world did we get here so fast?! I thought.. babe I'm soooo happy for you! Finally! My God finally!!" She shouted happily making me nod in happiness
"I know right. Turns out he's liked me all along, way before Naomi, way before any of those girls.. Kemi I honestly couldn't believe it too.. I mean.. I never thought he liked me like that."
"Well I always knew, from the very beginning. I knew that he liked you but never wanted to do anything about it.. the signs were all there tami.. you just couldn't see it." She said over the phone her tone firm.

"I just didn't want to jump into conclusions but you were right.. he did like me.. and he told me how he really felt about me" I said with a blush softly biting my lower lip in excitement causing Kemi to squeal happily over the phone.
"Oh god! Tell me everything!"
"Okay so what happened is that, Derin sent me a text out of no where asking me on a date.. and I was like why not? Even though I was freaking out in excitement and wondering what suddenly changed?"
"Then we went on the date and it was honestly amazing. I asked him about Naomi and he told me the complete truth saying how he never really liked her and dated her just to get over me. Then he said I was the girl of his dreams when I asked him why he suddenly asked me out."

"Oh my gosh! Derin said that?! To youuu?! Awww..." Kemi squealed happily
"Yes he did and it was just so romantic. Kemi you should've seen the way he kissed me later on.. I couldn't stop smiling like a baby.. he also apologized for how he's treated me, for always shutting me out and hurting my feelings whenever we had a fight.."

"Aww really? Derin's changing for you tami.. this is honestly so cute I can't stop smiling.. so what happened next?" She asked keenly
"Then he asked me to be his girlfriend" I said with a grin
"Jesus! That quick! I mean I'm happy for you but wow.. I never expected him to just go all in after all of the drama you know?"  She said sounding logical

"I get what you mean kems, and honestly i wasn't expecting it too.. I mean yeah our relationship wasn't normal but i was just hoping that our date would go well.. I didn't think he'd ask me out to date him, I honestly didn't even think he liked me that much! Time froze a bit when he asked me cos I for sure thought I was dreaming" I explained with a laugh causing her to laugh too..
"Well you weren't, and guess what.. DERIN's your BOYFRIEND Tami! You finally got the guy of your dreamsssss.. babe I'm so happy for you, I wish I was right there with you so I can hug youuu" Kemi said her voice filled with so much happiness directed towards me..

I smiled softly " I wish that too babe, I miss you so much... thanks for sticking with me all along.. staying by my side when i was at my worst watching Derin date those other girls.. I love you.. I truly do" I said starting to feel emotional as I missed her.
"Aww Tami, I love you too.. and hey what're best friends for... you're the main character of this story tami... enjoy it."
Kemi's words rang in my ears making me smile happily.. she was right, i was the main character of this story and i deserved to be with my prince.
"Thanks Kemi... I have to go, I'll talk to you later okay.."
"Alright tami, miss you boo.. and send my warmest regards to Derin.. tell him I said he finally manned the fuck up! And I'm proud of him" she said making me laugh at her words
"I'll make sure to tell him just that.. k Kemi, bye"
"Bye tami.."

Derin
There was a party currently happening at one of Lagos biggest clubs and I was in attendance as i sat next to Amos on a couch overseeing the entire fun. One of the seniors in medicine department was celebrating his birthday and decided to throw a huge party inviting every elite person in crown lake and outside of the school.
My mind drifted to tami as i thought about her, memories of our date flooding my mind making me smile. She was my girlfriend now, we were finally together. I took that risk and she softly held my hand telling me that it was okay.
We really could be together..
Tami was the best girl I've ever been with, she gave me the good shivers, her lips were so soft that i couldn't stop myself from always wanting to kiss her. Maybe it was very sudden but then we've been friends for so long that I didn't think there was any need to drag it out much longer.
I was ready to be with her and I could see she was also ready to be with me.. it was time.. and I plan on keeping her with me for as long as I can..

Two people caught my eyes in the crowd as i watched them laugh and drink champagne. Looking closer i saw that it was Naomi and Tony?..
What was he doing here? With Naomi? Last I checked he was dating Clarissa.
His eyes suddenly locked with mine as i watched him give me a passive look before turning away making me roll my eyes. Naomi hadn't seen me yet and i doubt she could tell I was watching her as i saw her lean in and before i realized it the both of them were kissing.
What the fuck?! He's cheating on Clarissa too? How disgusting can he get and what the heck is wrong with Naomi? Doesn't she have any self respect for herself..
Something ticked in my head as i felt all of my anger directed at him as i remembered how much he hurt tami. I stood up from the couch I was seated as I walked towards the sleazy couple.
I promised tami that when next i saw him, I'd kill him..
Pushing him off Naomi, I gave him a punch to the face surprising the both of them as i heard Naomi scream in surprise as he glared heavily at me.
"What the fuck is wrong with you Derin?!" She screamed as i plainly ignored her..
She was really irritating
"That's for making tami cry.." I said simply with a frown on my face. I walked closer to him holding him by the shirt and giving him another punch as i heard him groan in pain.
"And that's for showing up in our lives and making me look like the bad guy all along."
"Stop it already! Are you sick Derin?!" Naomi screamed pushing me off tony finally making me realize that she actually still stood there.

I'd already caused a scene with everyone's eyes currently on us but I could care less right now.
"Don't you have any self respect for yourself Naomi? Kissing your friends boyfriend? Really Naomi? How shameless can you get?!"

"What do you know about me Uhn?! You're talking about Shame? Don't you dare lecture me Derin! You're just crazy.." she screamed in anger her eyes filled with fury directed straight at me.
I shrugged simply "who am I to lecture you? I honestly don't even give a fuck about what you do. But then it's just upsetting to see you do this to yourself.. especially with someone like him." i said looking at tony with disgust in my eyes
"What's your problem with me man?! Like for real?" Tony said in anger as he stood up from the ground an angry scowl on his face.

"I don't have a problem with you. I just don't like you. You hurt the girl I'm in-love with" I said my words surprising me..
I'm inlove with tami? Oh shit!

"Oh I see, so she decided to run to you and cry about it. I've always known she was such a baby.. not gonna lie but I actually never really liked her.. she wasn't my type.. I rarely go for cute innocent chicks but she was all over me so i was like why not? Let's just see how much she wants me.." He Kept on talking causing the vein in my head to pop out in anger at the way he wouldn't stop insulting tami.

I immediately grabbed a hold of his shirt in anger holding myself from not beating him up.
"You better shut your mouth if you know what's good for you" I warned my voice dangerously low.
"Why? You're gonna hit me again? Look man, you can have her alright.. no need for all of this drama.. she never really liked me anyways. It was always you.. so congratulations" he mocked with a sly smirk on his face causing me to hit him once more as he staggered back from me groaning in pain.

"Stay the fuck away from tami! I never want to see you around her again or I'll really kill you." I threatened in anger glaring heavily at him before finally walking out of the club hating every second spent in there.

Authors note
Well that was a blast.. not.
But Derin being Tami's knight in shining armor is really sweet.. it shows how much he really loves and cares about her...

And the fact he finally realized that he's inlove with tami is just sooo cute!
Y'all tony fans, I'm sorry for making tony look like a bad guy but from the very beginning he wasn't really inlove with tami.
It's like teen relationships, plain attraction=infatuation.. that's just what it was and they both knew about it.. especially tami..
Can't wait for the next chapter..
