I Invision that this picture would be my character Brandy.

Brandy

"So, you excited for this weekend?" Allison asked me as we ate at this new- restaurant she wanted to try out. It wasn't an upscale restaurant. Just one of those corner restaurants. If you asked me, these corner restaurants made the best food. She rolled her eyes once she seen that I was in a daze. "Hello earth to Brandy." She said as she waved her hand in front of my face. I looked over at her with a sheepish smile. "Girl what is on your mind?"

"Honestly? A lot is on my mind. I don't know whether I'm coming or going. And to be honest I don't even know what I be thinking about. I just zone out sometimes." I said with a light chuckle.

"You know you can always talk to me, right?" She said making me smile brightly at her.

"Yeah, I know girl. I don't know what it is, but once I find out I'll let you know." I lied. I knew exactly what it was that I couldn't get off my mind.

"How is the real estate job coming along?" She asked changing the subject.

"It's coming along great. I actually have a few showings that I have lined up. I really enjoy it, although I'm not making as much money as I expected at this time, but it's coming along great. Slowly but surely right?"

"Right." Allison agreed. We both looked when a young man came to our table smiling down at me. I mentally said a prayer that when I turned him down he would just walk away instead of raising hell like these young men tended to do these days. Why when women turned men down they suddenly get disrespectful? I just haven't been feeling the dating scene. Something was off. I kind of knew what it was but couldn't admit to myself that my attraction to men was never there. No one knew. Not even my best friend. One of the main reasons I haven't come out about my sexuality was because of the fear of being judged and having no one.

I had decided to move to Texas with my friend a year ago and now I seemed to be having second thoughts about the move. Other than seeing my friend whom I seen as a sister nothing else was going for me and I didn't know why. With having a friend who was sitting on money I didn't have to worry about paying bills. Everything was right when it came to living comfortable. But something was still missing. Looking up at the young man I said.

"Hi."

"Hello ladies."

"How can I help you?" Allison asked seeing as I fought from frowning. So far this was the third man that came to our table as we ate to ask me out and every time it happened I just grew more and more annoyed. Even though I was good at hiding it.

"Well I noticed you sitting here." He begin. "And thought I'd come to introduce myself. I would love to get to know you better. I think you are very beautiful." He said to me.

"Awe isn't that sweet Brandy?" Allison said and I gave her a side glance but with as quickly as I looked at her she read what I wasn't saying. I wasn't interested in this man. In fact out of the year I have been in Texas I haven't dated not once. Yes I used my new job as an excuse, but not one date? What was going on with me?

"I thank you so very much for the compliment, but I'm going to have to decline."

"Can I ask why?" He asked sounding hurt.

"Ah I'm in a relationship? Ah yeah." Allison rolled her eyes. I knew she wanted to know why was I lying to that man?

"Oh okay. Lucky man."
