Okee, I have to first ask is the name Persephanie so weird? I mean, ok if you guys weren't too sure, it's pronounced, Per-se-pha-nee. Yeah, ya'll know just wanted to make sure, coz everyone's writing her name out with the nickname. (Sephie.) I guess that could work too. The story might get boring, but I promise it'll get better once the drama builds up. So just keep on reading. And please, please, take the time to review. So I know if to continue the story more and more. So then I can make it a shorter version or a long version. Depending on the support I'll get. I'm thinking of making this a series. But I cant really go into detail coz I might give the story away. Aite, so lets get rite on to it, baby! LOL!.. oh yeah, by the way, this chapter I have to say might be the most boring one, but I hope you still read it, and like it for that matter...

Chapter Three. (The Next Day...)

"Sephie and Johnny sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G, oooohh can I come to work with you today?" Md couldn't stop giggling after what happened yesterday at the beach.

"Um... well only if you promise not to embarrass me." Persephanie was just getting ready for work. "And I don't want you to be talking like you were yesterday. I mean, your not like some type of cupid or anything, understand?"

"Nope, I too am a cupid. See cupids are suppose to be cute and ado-rable. And well, that's exactly what I am. Even ask Johnny." Md still couldn't stop giggling. "Besides you guys make a cute couple, and I think he likes you...oooohh, someone likes Sephie, someone likes Sephie." Md, was now hysterically laughing her head off. She couldn't even breath.

Persephanie just shook it off, knowing how hard her seven year old sister has been desperately trying to set her up with a guy. Even though Md, was still young she was able to see the sadness and loneliness in her sister's eyes. Sephie was once like Md, with the bubbly personality, free-spirited, and was actually happy. Now, all she really cares about is making sure Md is living the life, she's always dreamed of having.

"Though, Daisy, I suggest you not get your hopes up. I mean, we're not even sure is John's gonna be there." Persephanie was now, trying to get her sister ready to go.

Over at John's Hotel Room...

Eighteen, Eighteen, Eighteen. Wow, she's exactly 10 years younger than me! Those thoughts have been running through John's head, the whole day. But I still gotta give it a shot.

John was now getting ready to go over to Persephanie's work place. He was really excited, and was looking forward to getting to know her. There's something about her that caught my eye. I mean, that's a bit of a tough job to do. I just hope the age difference doesn't get in the way.

25 minutes later, At Café O'lle...

Md, was just sitting patiently up front where, the entrance door was easy to spot. "Johnny!" She ran over to John the second he touched the door, "Johnny, Johnny, I knew you'd come!"

"Oh, hey angel. How are you?" John asked, again smiling. He always seemed to smile when ever he saw Md or Persephanie.

"Oh um... well my name is Daisy Marie, but people just call me Md, kay? Understand?" That made John laugh, thinking she was so cute. "Where's your sister?"

"Oh, um..Kimmy-Lee, where's Sephie?" Md, asked her sister's best friend.

"Oh uh," Kimmy-Lee, too, was stunned seeing John. "Yeah, yeah. Hold up, let me get her."

Kimmy-Lee came back with Persephanie who looked so beautiful to John.

"Hey, I didn't think you'd actually come." persephanie said. John just smiled and winked at her.

"Hmm.. Kimmy?" John asked looking over to the manager of the café.

"Yeah, that's me, Kimmy-Lee."

"Yeah, well I got something planned special for Persephanie and I was wondering if you could give her the day off?" John was afraid, that his question was a bit rude but he had to give it a shot.

"Yeah, you actually read my mind." Kimmy-Lee was happy to see persephanie have someone.

"What about me?" Md asked, "Do I stay here?" She looked like she was about to cry. So John picked her up, "Naw, your actually coming with us. Well, at least for a little bit. Do you know who Randy Orton is?"

Md just blinked, "umm... who's he?"

"He's a really good friend of mine. Like a brother. And I asked him to watch out for you, for tonight, if that's ok with you?" John asked looking over at Persephanie.

"I don't know if that's a good idea, I mean I never left my sister alone to anyone." Persephanie said hesitant.

"No, it's fine! I like meeting people." Md, really liked the fact of John being alone with her sister. She was a smart girl for her age. John couldn't help but smile, seeing the fact that Md was on his side, of trying to get her sister to be he's girl.

"Wait where are we going?" Persephanie asked, once they were walking over to John's car.

"It's a surprise." John said looking at her, still holding Md in his arms. "But if you like the beach then you might like the place were going right now. It's not exactly a big romantic place but I'll work sumthin out."

John took Persephanie and Md to a the biggest public park in San Francisco. It wasn't romantic, but John kept to his words. He had set up a nice picnic for them. "I hope you like it." He said looking at Persephanie's reaction.

"Interesting." She said looking around.

"Is that a good thing or-" John was disappointed. Maybe dating a eighteen year old isn't so easy. John just stood there waiting for a reply.

"Yeah, I like it." Persephanie wasn't use to having someone do such a thing for her. "I love it, everything's setup so beautiful." She kept on looking around, appreciating the fact that John took the time to set everything up. She then took a seat, down at the blanket that was set down for seating.

"Here, I got some food, for us to eat. It's not much, so I hope you don't mind." John said, taking the food out.

"Chicken, Chicken, I love chicken!" Md's face lit up seeing everything laid down right in front of her to eat. "Thanks, I really like Chicken."

John was glad to see he made someone happy. He couldn't stop looking over at Persephanie, who again seemed to be "deeply thinking."

"Something's on your mind, I know it." John whispered in Persephanie's ear. Md suddenly started giggling. "Yeah, she's always sad, she hasn't smiled in YEARS!" John smiled, still really close to Persephanie's face. "That's too bad. But that doesn't necessarily mean, today cant be fun." John said scooting over to Md's side, "I promise I'll get her to laugh or at least smile one way or another."

John again kept to his words. He made Persephanie laugh her ass off the whole time. He made funny jokes, but then decided it was time for them finally to get to knoweach other.

"Wait, so your only eighteen right?" John asked.

"Yeah, I'm ONLY eighteen." Persephanie stated, mad about the fact he said ONLY.

"Oh, naw it's not that it's a bad thing. I mean we're about...10 years apart." John explained.

Silence

"Yeah..." John said trying to break the silence. "Wait, then aren't you suppose to be at school right now, or?"

"Uh, I don't have enough money to go school." Persephanie sadly stated." Well, I do but, I'm saving it up for when Daisy goes to collage. Which I understand is still 11 years from now but oh well. Besides, I'd be beat if I have to go to work AND school."

"Wait, what about your parents, why don't they pay for it?" John curious.

"Huh, what parents?" Persephanie was now starting to have sadness fill her eyes again. "My parents are divorced, and well...I was living with my mom and step dad, after the split. Then they decided that they don't want to bother with spending money on me or Daisy. So I got kicked out of their house. I couldn't think of any place to stay at, but here."

"Oh, why was this where you originally grew up?" John was now really interested into learning EVERYTHING about her.

"Yes, it is. But it's not only that. I mean, this was the only place where I had at least one person. Well other than, Daisy but she's with me forever. Anywhoo, this was the place someone cared for me. Which is Kimmy-Lee. She's like a sister to me. I've known her forever, and everyone else is just messed up. Actually everything in my life is pretty much messed up. Ever since that night I got kicked out. That was when everything seemed like hell." Persephanie had a tear drop from her eye.

"Why what happened?" John could feel her sadness.

"Hmm, well..." Persephanie tried her hardest to hide her pain, "well, I ended up not having a place to stay, I only had $100 in my pocket and I didn't wanna spend it any of it on a hotel, coz I knew it'd be just be a waste. I wanted to save it for gas money, since the car was my only transportation option. But that was a mistake I made. I ended up getting..." Persephanie couldn't finish her sentence. She hated having to think about that night.

"What happened?" He thought he knew the last word of her sentence. But he didn't wanna believe it. "You didn't get sexually assaulted did you?" Persephanie stayed quiet trying not make John see she was crying.

John felt so bad, after hearing all of this coming from a eighteen year old girl was hurting him. He felt like it was his duty to make sure she doesn't go through all the pain again. He wanted to protect her.

Md, suddenly came back from the playground area with Randy. They seemed to be having fun, like a brother/sister relationship. Persephanie wiped the tears away from her eyes. She didn't wanna bring down Md's spirit. Sadness from her sister was the only thing that could bring down Md's mood down.

"So, how are you, baby?" Randy had a mad crush on Persephanie. He loved the fact that his age was closer to her's than John's was. "Did John hurt you?" Even Randy was able to see the sadness in her.

"No, No, of course not!" Persephanie, actually really liked John. After all he was the first guy to get her to laugh, to make her feel wanted, and to even give her one minute of time.

"Naw, I'd never hurt her, I mean, she's the only girl to ever make me feel horny," John joked. "Ha, she's definitely something special."

Persephanie blushed, turning red. "Yo, I made you blush?" John said, moving closer to her. "I love it when you do that." Persephanie turned even more red.

"I wonder how long it's gonna take for Johnny to be able to call my sister Sephie." Md, laughed, hiding behind Randy.

That made Persephanie red as she can be, so she just hid her face in her hands, ducking her head away from them. Then John moved even more closer, and put one arm around her. "It's ok, I know how little sisters can be." John said laughing.

"Yeah, he knows how young, cute, adorable sisters can be." Md, stated, making again the cutest face.

Everyone laughed.

It was getting late. John and Persephanie has been talking for almost 3 hours now. So John took her straight home, he didn't remind her the fact that her car was left over at Café O'lle. That would be his excuse for coming by her house tomorrow and finally being able to make his move

Ok I hope you guys liked that chapter. Please, Please Review. It encourages me to write more of it.

Much Love, Jhen
