Your Twinkling Eyes

Thirty Six

Tami🦋
The mid term break finally ended and i was back in school. The weekend spent with Derin was really amazing. I loved every second spent with him. He made me feel so much inlove with him and never gave me one second to be alone.
That was really cute tho. The way he wouldn't stop clinging unto me.
Zach, Desola and I sat in the school park having a soft picnic together. We didn't have any classes today since it was a public holiday and Zach decided we all met up for a simple picnic to celebrate my birthday and it was honestly fun. Today was my birthday, although not many people knew about it and I wasn't planning on doing anything special, just spending time with my friends is lovely enough for me.

Kemi already called earlier this morning wishing me a happy birthday and telling me how much she wished she was around so we could celebrate it together which to that i said it was fine and her calling and remembering was enough for me. My mum and sisters too called with my mum praying for me and my sisters singing extra loudly on the phone for me. Derin's mum also called wishing me a happy birthday and praying for me which was really sweet of her and i thanked her very much. Sayo sent me a nice birthday message on Instagram and promised me a present which he'll hopefully give to me when he's back in Nigeria.
I weirdly even got a text message from tony wishing me a happy birthday.. it was just three words. 'Happy birthday tami'.

I replied him with a simple thanks and a purple heart emoji. Even if things ended badly between us, he was once my friend and he did make me happy when I was going through a rough time so there's no bad blood between us besides he's an okay guy.
Everyone has their flaws..
Almost everyone had called or texted to wish me a happy birthday except Derin.
Which bothered me a lot.. did he forget?
He honestly never forgets my birthday tho..

"Happy birthday tami" Zach said raising his glass filled with sweet grape wine with a smile on his face causing me to grin on happiness.
"Thanks Zach."
Desola helped in picking out my outfit and I was currently putting on soft shiny ballet flats, a deep purple sun dress with a high thigh slit and my French braids were packed up in a very high pony tail. My birthday picnic was honestly going really well, we took lots of pictures and made videos and talked about everything and school.
Zach told us about his current boyfriend who he met on tinder and is apparently French.. The guy is honestly hot but he doesn't speak one English.
Zach video called him so we could get to meet him but Desola and I could barely understand a word that he was saying. Thank God for Zach who helped to translate every single word he said..

We were a bit confused to why he was dating a French guy with zero skills in English but he explained that he has a thing for French guys and he plans on meeting him in Paris when it's the Christmas holidays. I was having fun with my new friends and I loved the fact that I didn't need to feel insecure about fitting in crown lake anymore.
I had two amazing friends, I was also doing pretty well in school and i have a boyfriend.. the boy of my dreams.. even though he's weirdly forgotten about my birthday though..

"Desola, does Amos still bug you with his relentless texts?" I asked getting her attention causing her to stop staring down at her phone.
She raised up her phone showing us that she was currently even talking to him.
Ever since that night Amos met Desola at the ice cream shop, he bugged me on countless occasions to give him her number just so he could talk to her.
Apparently it was love at first sight for him..

At first she was annoyed at me for giving it to him because he wouldn't stop bombarding with her with calls and texts. She considered even blocking him but I begged her not to and try giving him a chance because he wasn't that bad of a guy.
He was just going about it the wrong way..
She listened to me and decided not to and for a while he stopped calling her, until recently he'd call her at a particular time in the night and they'd talk for hours on the phone..
she always sounded like she wasn't interested in hearing whatever he said to her on the phone, but every night whenever he called I'd see the same excited smile on her face before she masked it with an unimpressed look.
