I was at the Parade with my family. We had arrived at the park early in order to get a good view of the Parade and Fireworks. I sat on my Harley drinking in the scene.. man I missed this while I was away.
Humboldt Park was at it liveliest during the Parade. The main area was Division and California Street, there are two huge steel Puerto Rican Flags there and lots of people love taking pictures under it. I had been riding around in the streets with my cousin Victor and our friend Felix, showing out, burning rubber and popping wheelies. We had Boricua Pride madness going on. It was like a drug and we were high on it!
Horns were blaring, showing mutual love and respect for each other. The women were fine as hell, some were flashing us lol. And the men were acting a straight fool. The old cats were playing chess outside of the barbershop. They saw my Marines Vet bumper sticker and tipped their hats, or some got up and saluted me. I smiled, nodding humbly in reply. And the grandmas had their grandbabies. It was beautiful. I loved it! I just wish My Keya was here enjoying this with me. Thinking about her made me a bit sad.
The park was where it was popping, though; the Carnival was here for a whole week and today was Saturday, the last day, so there would be fireworks tonight. The park was packed as fuck, families were here barbecuing, playing baseball, basketball, and the beach was loaded with people.
I loved Chicago during this time of year. I started to think about having my own kids playing in the water, building sand castles and having water balloon fights.. I bet My Keya would be a great mother.. I hadn't seen her since our first meeting at my uncle's restaurant and was starting to get doubtful.
My family had a spot near where the fireworks were to be lit, and I helped them barbecue a ton of food this afternoon. They had set up tables, chairs and a tent for the food. We also had a tent where we could change our clothes in.
It was getting late now, almost dark; we were parked near North Avenue and California. Felix was in front, then Victor parked between us and I brought up the rear. I was smoking a cigar full of MaryJane, holding it between my thumb and index resting on top of my middle finger, squinting through the haze. My mind on My Keya, what is she doing right now and where the hell is she?! I've searched this whole area thoroughly.
"Cheer up cuzzo, she might be at the Carnival today, ok?" Victor told me. Taking a puff from his joint, looking back at me hopefully.
I had my shades up on my head, so I'm guessing my eyes were brown now. I was feeling a bit down. "I hope so cuzzo.." I can't take this shit much longer, please Lord Help me, I thought slowly smh. And then I felt it, the 'pull' again, just like at the restaurant when I had met her. My eyes started darting around in search of her frantically. And after a few minutes I heard Victor let out a long wolf whistle...

From the moment I stepped out of Sarai's place, I felt that tugging behind my tummy again. It literally feels like my body is floating. I look down, I see my feet hitting the pavement, but I'm not in control of the movement. What's going on here?! Oh no, the last time I felt like this was when I seen.. Manny! We hadn't walked that far when I heard a whistle and turned to see three men on motorcycles looking at us. The guy in the back was super cheesy. For some odd reason it looked like he was extremely happy to see.. me?

'¡WHISTLE!'
I turned to see who he was looking at and there she was, My Chocolate Princess! In a sexy ass light purple dress and she dyed her hair this sexy ass red color. Fuck.. I wanted to bend her over this Harley and bang the hell outta her!
'Mate!'...
It elated me seeing her again. I didn't know what to do with myself! My heart started racing and I was cheesy as fuck, smiling from ear to ear. She was with two other girls who looked like they took a Puerto Rican flag and one turned it into a dress and the other one a miniskirt.. WTF!
I was a little high from the MaryJane and feeling more cocky than usual and was about to ask her if she wanted to go for a ride with me. When I heard Victor ask, "Hey chickas, y'all wanna go for a ride?" Her two friends said, "Hell Yeah!" and ran and got on Victor and Felix's bikes. Hell yeah Vic, way to go! I cheered internally. But my heart sank when I heard My Keya say..
