The Reality of Our Lives

Coincidence

Narrator- Brandon picks Princess up from her house. He told her that he wanted to go get something to eat with her. Instead of going to the local Zaxbys Brandon drives to the one out of the city.
Princess- "Why didn't you just go to the one closer to us?"
Brandon- "It's too overcrowded and my food wasn't fresh last time."
Narrator- Brandon pulls into Zaxbys and parks. Princess looks confused because she thought he was going through the drive thru.
Princess- "You going in?"
Brandon- "Yeah let's sit down and eat."
Narrator- Brandon holds the door and lets Princess in. He looks around nervously pretending to act dumbfounded when he sees Jada and Allie. Princess sees Jada and she whispers to Brandon.
Princess- "Isn't that Jaden's sister."
Brandon- "Oh wow that is her. Let's go speak to her because Jaden been wanting to get in touch with her."
Narrator- Brandon walks over to Jada and Allie's table. Princess doesn't want to go over but she comes because she doesn't want to seem rude. Brandon starts cheesing when Jada looks up and sees him.
Brandon- "Hey how y'all doing?"
Allie- "Hey Brandon! I haven't seen you in forever.
Jada- "Hey"
Narrator- Princess walks up beside Brandon.
Brandon- "Allie this is my girlfriend Princess. I know you met her before Jada."
Allie- "Awe you're so pretty."
Princess- "Thanks."
Jada-  "I didn't really get to speak to you last time so it's nice to finally meet you."
Princess- "It's good to finally meet you too."
Allie- "Y'all can sit and eat with us if y'all want to."
Brandon- "Yeah we will and I'll go order the food. Princess you want the usual?"
Princess- "Yeah tell them i want everything fresh."
Narrator- Brandon goes to order the food and Allie moves to sit in the booth next to Jada so Princess can be on the same side as Brandon. Princess is nervous so she just gets on her phone. Jada doesn't really know what to say so she just stares at her nails.
Allie- "I told Jada she needs to spend more time with her brother to get to know him."
Princess- "Brandon told me that he wanted her to come around more."
Jada- "I really do want to come around more I'm just nervous."
Allie- "Why are you so nervous?"
Jada- "I don't even know what to talk to him about. Even though i do want a bond with him."
Princess- "He has a passion for music, he raps."
Allie- "Does he do any shows? We definitely would come."
Princess- "He does here and there."
Allie- "What about you? What do you do for fun?"
Princess- "I'm into dancing what about y'all?"
Jada- "We play volleyball."
Princess- "I suck at it."
Allie- "We can teach you if you want but we don't know how to dance."
Princess- "We can exchange skills."
Narrator- Brandon comes back to the table and sits next to Princess.
Brandon- "Y'all want to go to Dave and busters together? I'm going to ask Jaden to come along too because he's been wanting to see you Jada."
Jada- "That sounds like a plan."
Brandon's thoughts-
I keep thinking about how beautiful Jada is while I'm sitting at the table. She doesn't even have to put on make up or fancy clothes to look good. It's not even just her looks i am so addicted to her personality and how she always listened to me vent unlike Princess. I already knew that Jada and Allie were going to Zaxbys today. I asked Jada what she was doing today before she even got to Zaxbys.  I just don't know if Jada still has any feelings for me. I keep trying to keep my composure to stop staring at Jada. She's effortlessly perfect. I look over at her smiling at Princess and Allie and i crack a smile at her. I see Princess look over at me so i put my head down and act like i was tryna think of something to say.
Brandon- "Umm... Jada have you seen any recent pictures of me? I meant your niece Janiya."
Brandon's thoughts-
I am fumbling over my words talking to her because she still has a smile on her face and it's making me nervous.
Jada- "No i haven't. Do you have some?"
Brandon thoughts-
My voice becomes timorous as i try to respond back to her. I go through Jaden's Instagram and show Jada the picture of Janiya and my hand starts shaking timidly as i reach over and hand her my phone.
Jada- "Awe she's so freaking adorable. I'm about to send myself this picture. Is that okay?"
Narrator- Brandon is in fear as he looks at Princess for approval. Princess looks back at him like he's bugging and rolls her eyes. Jada sends herself the photo and hands the phone back to Brandon. He is afraid that Princess is going to feel some type of way about Jada having his number. Princess doesn't know that Brandon and Jada had been texting.  He doesn't want her to know because he knows that she'll probably become skeptical about Jada. After everyone gets done eating Allie and Jada leaves together and Brandon and Princess leaves together.  When Brandon gets into the car with Princess the vibe changes. Princess doesn't say anything the whole car ride. When he pulls up to her house she doesn't get out the car.
Brandon- "What's wrong bae?"
Princess- "Why did you look at me like that when she asked could she send the picture to herself?"
Brandon- "I wanted to make sure it was ok with you first Bae."
Princess- "If y'all friends then why wouldn't it be?"
Brandon- "We all are i just wanted to make sure you were good i promise."
Princess thoughts-
I am trying not to spazz at Brandon because the way he was looking over at Jada at the table was making me upset. He claims that he doesn't like her like that anymore but who knows? I try to keep telling myself Brandon wouldn't do that. He knows that's Jaden sister i don't think he would try her anymore it's just me being insecure.
