STELA GOMES
The look on Andreza's face was priceless. I did not react; I didn't expect Ivan to kiss me like that in front of everyone, especially when students were arriving at the college. As soon as I approached her, she said:
"What was that, Stela? Were you with my cousin? I thought you'd be at home, crying rivers of tears as you usually do."
"What a drama, Andreza! I don't do that. Now, to answer your question, yes, I was with Ivan. He forced me to have lunch with him at his house. You know him well, and he never takes no for an answer."
"He really took you to his house?" Andreza seemed surprised by the revelation.
"Yes, he did, and we talked. He explained everything to me, and we cleared the air."
"And you forgave him that quickly? What was that kiss, and in front of everyone?"
