"I never had a boyfriend before," Persephone said. "So, sure. If I have such a brave and handsome boyfriend, I will be so glad."
"Great," Santiago beamed. Looking at his mother, he said, "Mom, she said she will be my girlfriend."
"But Santiago, didn't you say you are Rose, Kate, and Nelly's boyfriend?" Valencia asked his son, feigning ignorance.
Persephone feigned a gasp and Santiago hit his head with his palm. "No, mom," he groaned."I'm not their boyfriend but they are my girlfriends."
"Aww, aren't you a little heartbreaker?" Persephone asked the kid, amused.
"Ah, if this heartbreaker is not my favorite customer?!" A woman's excited voice rang. Persephone saw a very beautiful brunette coming their way. She had a kid fastened on her hip. And did she mention the kid's eyes were like balls of her favorite chocolates? Excitedly, she asked, "Did you see I added new desserts for you?"
"Oh, so it was you, Ellison," Valencia said. "Thank you."
