After hearing the voicemail, Derek run toward the bathroom and threw up. Tamara alerted by the noise rushed inside.
"Hey are you ok?"
He didn't reply to her stupid question. He got up and washed his mouth.
"What's going on?" Tamara asked with an annoyed voice.
"Leave me the hell alone!" he shouted.
"What's your problem Derek? Maybe getting engaged isn't such a good idea!"
"yeah you're right, we better cancel the engagement."
"Honey, I'm sorry I didn't mean that. Let's talk about it later ok?" Tamara said fearing his decision.
"right." He muttered before splashing some cold water on his face.
"We should go to the hospital you know…"
"I won't go…"
"No?"
"No… Penelope called me and left me a voicemail, she told me all she wanted to say. It's over, it's over." He said.
"Really? Maybe you should call your mother to tell her…"
"It's ok Tamara. Just leave it now… I told you it's over." He said with some frustration.
"ok… I hate that woman you know. She ruined our week, we should be celebrating and not fighting. But she has to appear and mess again with what we have."
"What do you mean by "again"?
"you and I were meant to be. Penelope wad just a mistake in your life... she realized that I was the one for you and she left…I'm so grateful for that."
"So you're grateful that I suffered all these months?"
"No… But it was obvious that she didn't love you enough… she left you for another man Derek; she didn't realize what a great man you are…"
"Penelope wasn't a mistake. What we had was…magic while it lasted."
"Magic? And what we have is not?" she asked upset.
"Tamara, I'm fed with your temper ok?"
"Sorry, I just fought hard to have you and now I sense you sleeping away…"
"What did you fight to have me?" he asked.
Tamara was showing a side that he didn't like a lot.
"Why do you think I stayed in contact with you ever since my brother's death. I knew we were meant to be. But no! you decided to date that Tech girl instead of who was so perfect for you. I knew that at last if I keep in contact with you, I would win you over."
"So you deliberately crushed my relationship with Penelope?" he asked with disbelief.
"I'm sorry but aren't you happy now? With someone who truly loves you and won't leave you for another man?"
"Penelope never left me for another man; she lied."
"What?"
"she…"
He never finished his phrase as the need to throw up took over him.
Desiree entered the house and remembered that her mother wanted to come back to Penelope this morning. She went into the kitchen she heard the argument between Derek and Tamara. She waited for them to finish and went upstairs. She knocked at their room's door before entering.
Tamara was shouting at Derek who was obviously ill.
Desiree run towards her brother.
"Hey are you okay?""
"Desiree you should leave. Derek and I aren't done here." Tamara said coldly.
Desiree scowled at the older woman.
"No tam. We're done for good… Just leave my mother's house now. I don't wan to see you again."
"What?"
"You heard me, just pick your things and leave."
"Why? Because of this pathetic Penelope?"
"she loved me more than you do." He said.
Tamara chuckled and grabbed her bag.
"You'll pay for this Derek Morgan, you and your dying whore!"
"Watch your mouth Tamara or I'll kick you out after kicking your ass!" Desiree said walking towards her.
"Oh here we are… I should have known… you people from ghetto…" she said snakily.
"WE people from ghettos like you mentioned have more value than you! But we're really good at fighting." Desiree spat.
Tamara looked at her with fear and quickly grabbed her things before storming out
Derek looked at his little sister and laughed.
"I'm so proud of you Little Miss ghetto."
"I never liked her anyway. So what's wrong?"
"Just grab my phone and listen to the voicemail." He said getting up to rinse his mouth.
A/N: Ok; so Tamara's out of the picture now. What should I do?
And sorry for the harsh words!
