1920s:  end of WW1, women could vote, cute fashion and all around good time.

The busy streets of vintage Brooklyn, New York lined up with old cars. In between buildings in a dark alley, Tortilla and Joey finish up their 'negotiation'.

"$40 lover boy" Tortilla says as she watches him fix himself up.

"Come on doll, you're my girl, can't i get a discount?" he tries to bargain.

"Sorry sweets, how else am i going to afford all the pot Beyonce needs for her little business she has going on" she says stalking out of the alley, him following closely behind.

"Fine, you're lucky i love ya."

She rolls her eyes and gives him a kiss on the cheek.

"Shit! I gotta go to some important meeting my pops called for, but i promise i'll come over tonight and the three of us can have a fun night. How's that sound?" he says while looking at his expensive watch on his wrist. Gucci to be exact.

"Sound like a plan" she says with a smile. He pulls her into a kiss and runs off. "bYYYYYeeee" he yells as he quickly runs down the street trying not to be late.

He arrives at the tall building and greets the desk lady but giving her a wink before heading to the elevator.

The elevator attendant opens the lift and Joey steps inside. He straightens his suit as the elevator slowly rises. He steps off on his floor and speed walks to the confrence room. He rushes in and sees he has all eyes on him.

"You're late" producer of his own ABC family sitcome 'George Lopez' and Mr Electric in hit movie 'Sharkboy and Lavagirl" actor/comedian George Lopez says in a booming voice.

"Sorry dad i was busy and lost track of time"

"Oh you were busy all right. With that whore you call a girlfriend" he shoots back.

Before Joey could interject actor/comedian George Lopez cuts him off "We'll discuss this after, i have important things to discuss."

(Back to current time)

"Hold the fuck up." I interrupted Ms Keisha. "George Lopez? Producer of his own ABC family sitcom 'George Lopez' and Mr Electric in hit movie 'Sharkboy and Lavagirl'? Am I hearing this correctly?" I ask the weird elderly woman, who is now petting the rat she coughed up.

"Bitch I hope the fuck you do. I ain't wasting my saliva if you ain't listening." Ms keisha replied, annoyed .

"I didn't mean to anger you, ms Keisha." I was highkey scared but lowkey horny. "It's just, George Lopez was born on April 23.1961. I would know, he's my biggest idol. Your story seems a little unbelievable." I say, hesitantly.

She stays silent for a couple of seconds, then she began to clear her throat. "Excuse me??????" Ms Keisha widened her eyes to the size of a golf ball. And yes. She said "question mark question mark question mark question mark question mark question mark."

It was at this moment that I realized I was madly in love with her. I imagined our wedding , it will be on the beach, George Lopez will be there.

Ms Keisha snapped me out of my daydreams when she pulled out a machine gun out of her bra. "Motherfucker you better listen or u gon end up like Owen." My wife states.

"Who is Owen?" I ask.

"Exactly." She smirks.

"Okay, okay. I'm listening. George Lopez was around in the 20s." I say, with affectionate eyes towards the love of my life.

"I shall continue." Keisha downs a bottle in two sips. "The fun is only starting."
