MEEKA

“That’s not fair,” I whined. “You never told me you were the state champ back when you were in high school. I didn’t even know they had chess competitions in Illinois.”

Tone laughed. “You didn’t give me a chance to tell you anything before you went into beast mode and called me out.”

We played two games of chess and ate the most delicious soul food I’d ever tasted in Chicago —fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, sweet potatoes, green’s and peach cobbler for dessert.

After washing it down with some ice cold strawberry lemonade, we’d said our good-byes to John and Verna so we could go to the next spot that Tone was still keeping on the hush.

“When will you tell me where we’re going?” I asked as we continued walking down State Street in the Loop area in downtown Chicago. “It’s freezing out here and thanks to John and Verna, I’m so full all I want to do is sleep. I already made a mental note to get in the gym soon to work off that down south goodness.”

“Yeah, I’ll have to hit the gym after that dinner too.” He glanced around. “You’ll find out where we are going soon enough.”

After a couple more blocks, we turned down a dark alley. Since I’d grown up in Chicago, I was used to shady alleys, but it didn’t matter how long I lived in the city, I couldn’t get down with the big ass rats.

“Eeeek,” I squealed when one of those big critters ran right in front of us. I could barely see it since there weren’t street lights in the alley. But it was lit enough for me to recognize what it as. “How much farther? I can’t get down with the vermin.”

“We’re here,” he announced, doing a combo beat-knock on a side door of a building. I didn’t even look up from the ground until the door opened and Tone escorted me in before him.

“Thanks, man,” Tone said to the person who’d opened the door. Turning to me, he introduced us. “Meeka, this is my guy, Jesse. Jesse, this is my girl, Meeka.”

My girl? Once again, my stupid heart began fluttering extra fast at the endearment. I figured he was probably just calling me that in the way one would introduce a friend, but it didn’t matter. It still made me feel special.

I reached out my hand. “Nice to meet you, Jesse.”

“Nice to meet you, too, Meeka.” Jesse looked behind him and nodded to another man who was dressed in the same uniform. “Okay, y’all follow me. You’re just in time because the show starts soon.” Jesse led us up a set of spiral stairs and through two sets of double-doors where there were two chairs, a bucket of champagne, and two glasses.

“What is all this?” I asked. “Is this for us?”

“I’ll just leave y’all to it,” Jesse said, dabbing fists with Tone. “It was nice to meet you, Meeka.”

“You too.” I walked farther into the space and noticed we were at the very top of a theater.
