All was fine and they had met someone at the malk which she didn't think they will meet
As Yvonne was about to ask Tasha for them to leave, a black Renault car had just stopped in front of the girls and while they were wondering who it was, Becky was cracking up like a minor who had seen her crush for the first time.
A young man opened the door and stepped down his one leg out of the car, pulling his whole body out as he arranged his glasses and standing out completely from the car, Becky had jumped on him dropping down her bags. The
That was Stanley Tores, the guy that every girl was crushing over back in college but he was head over heels for Yvonne.
That was the reason for the bitterness in Becky's heart to date as he was never in the picture as long as Yvonne was around.
Stanley, taking off his glasses saw that Yvonne and Tasha were the ladies he had spotted from his car mirror when he was still in his car.
With so much happiness, he had put down Becky and went towards Yvonne extending his hand to her to greet her.
Yvonne who had been staring at the whole thing, knock off Standley's hand and gave him a warm embrace instead.
Tasha chuckled as she knew very well that, the reason her friend had done that was to spite of Becky who was over-shaking throughout the time they had been standing there.

Yvonne who had been staring at the whole thing, knock off his hands and gave him a warm embrace instead.
Becky in her angry countenance quickly separated the both of them.
"How dare you do this in front of me, Stanley, don't you have any regard for me?", she asked panting in anger like someone who was about to commit murder.
Simon looked at Becky and responded,
" Me hugging our old-time classmate has nothing to do with me disregarding you Becky".
Yvonne looked at Becky and with a smile she said,
"You have not changed one bit Becky, you are still that very impulsive, not very smart and proud lady I use to know back in the day", Yvonne's words came out like a sharp sword to Becky who wanted to react to a scene.
Tasha greeted Simon and wished him well with Becky as her character was so embarrassing.
Yvonne and Tasha walked away from them and Stanley told Becky to get into the car with a furious tone.
" I wonder why that girl hates you so much over a man that does not interest you for a start", Tasha mumbled to her friend as they pushed the door of the shop making their way into its air-conditioned walls and forgetting about the scorching sun and the heat outside.
Yvonne turned to her friend and smile saying,
"Forget about Becky, she will never understand that Stanley can never be hers with that desperate attitude that she carries about in the name of loving him so dearly", she explained to her friend as they reached the receptionist desk to get their handbags checked before they could proceed into the shelves of the shop to start going through the articles in there to get what they like.
Stanley and Becky quarreled all through their journey back home and Stanley who was fed up with Becky's insecurities told her that it was over between them and that he needed a break.
Becky tried to stop him from leaving her but her insecurities and nagging had made the little affection that he had developed over the years die down.
Yvonne and Tasha were walking through the shelves and there were so many beautiful dresses that they did not know which to take as the confusion was too much.
" Let's take this one, I love the open back", Tasha said taking out a blouse from the hanger.
Yvonne looking at it responded,
"I will rather take this one as it gives an extraordinary brightness to my skin", she told her friend and they both giggled at each other for behaving like teenagers who could not decide on what to wear.
Tasha coming back on what had happened outside a while ago.
Yvonne gave a long stare at her friend as she could already tell what she had in mind.
" Sugar I know that you have something in your mind to ask so spill", she told her friend laughing.
Tasha knowing that her friend had caught her already, pretended to be too serious in looking for clothes.
"Tasha, I am still waiting for the gossip you have in your chest so talk now or forever dies with it", Yvonne said in a loud voice that her friend could not hold back the laughter that had formed in her throat that she gave up with one evil laughter.
" You are very wicked Yvonne, you were aware that once you say this line I was going to crack up", Tasha said trying to find her breath back as she had laughed so much.
Yvonne was happy that she could make her friend laugh this much as she deserved it after all for standing by her all these days.
Tasha after laughing for some minutes, narrated the expression on Becky's face when Stanley hugged Yvonne warmly.
"I bet that guy still has a crush on you it is written all over him and he can not dare to deny it", Tasha spoke turning to the other shelf as she had spotted a lemon green mini skirt that was perfect for her red blended with black boots at home.
Yvonne who had noticed that Stanley had not gotten over her, smiled as she got lost in her thoughts.
Tasha who had noticed her silence turned to look at her and read that she was smiling, she asked with a teasing look,
" Thinking about him yeah?"
