How did they first meet?

Tremaine

I first met Tamara at Tottenham Carnival. I was with my dad who introduced me to Bev (Tamara’s mum). It was my visits to my dad’s house that would allow me to get to know Tamara as we would always end up at Winchelsea road where Tamara lived. I was attracted to Tamara’s dimples, her smile and her eyes always smiled when she laughed.

I met Tremaine for the first time in the Year 2005. When an unfamiliar face started hanging with the Winchelsea road crew. I thought this boy on the block was finnnnnnnnneeee. That unfamiliar face was later identified as Creeper (Tremaine). Through the crew I was able to get more closer with Tremaine. I vaguely remember Tremaine’s account from above.

Who made the first move?

Tamara

As stated before I thought Creeper was very handsome from the offset. I didn't want to admit this in front of my peers but I guess my attraction for Tremaine was very evident in my behavior once he was present. I was teased about this and still remember the chants that would be sung if anyone saw me around Creeper. One day when the teasing got too much I confessed to Sabrina, a mutual friend that I thought Tremaine was good looking and I liked how quiet he was. Sabrina advised me how to let Tremaine know how I felt without letting the entire group know. Following Sabrina’s advice, I plucked up the courage to write him a love note and hid it under my mattress until I next saw him. (Cause anyone who knows Bev knows if she found that note at the time she would have killed me and him!)

The next day like clockwork Tremaine was back there after school so I ran inside to retrieve the love note. Sabrina and I waited and waited for the right time to hand him this note. It seemed like that moment was never going to come but then I saw him getting ready to leave. After he had said all his goodbyes he started to head off home. Once I saw he was getting off at a distance I told myself it is either now or never so I shouted out his name and ran to meet him. I pushed the note in his hand and told him do not read it until you get home. The rest of what happened under the bridge remains history.

Unfortunately, we just didn’t work at the time but destiny and God's will has led us back rightfully to one another.

How we got to this moment?

Years later they lost contact but despite being separated by land and water their interest in each other remained. Troy’s brother, Jahvan saw Tamara at her mum’s house and after establishing who she was, he made a phone call to Troy so that they could finally speak after how many years. That's how they rekindled their childhood romance and like magic all the attraction they once had crept back in. From that day forward they haven’t stopped messaging. In fact, they’re most probably messaging each other now!
