Beverly got up and took her purse. “I’ll be waiting outside,” she said. Without letting anyone speak, she started taking long strides towards the door, trying so hard to not rage.

Beverly, you’re a woman, you should know better” Piper sighed.

“To be honest, I was never into your man. When he approached me, I agreed because I wanted to use him to get my brothers‘ attention. Also, I had no boyfriend, so I just wanted to have fun. However, now I have a boyfriend and he’s a jealous freak. I don’t want him to think I’m cheating, which is why I called you hate today to break the news to you.” 1
