Brandelyn: Lyrical Contradiction

            I’m scared...

So I have to share this with you guys because this is the tomfoolery that only happens to me!! LOL!!!

So, the other day, on a Saturday to be exact, I was walking home from a very inspiring talk by Alice Walker, and no I didn’t introduce myself to her afterward like I could have because yes I punked out again, for those of you who were curious. ANYWHO....I walking home and I see a man across the street who is waving his arms in the air and yelling something. I look at the gentleman and see that it is a friend of mine from school. So I yell, “HEY!” back and pause from my walking to wait for him to cross the street. The young man runs into the street, which is a very busy main street I’d like to add for the record, and he is almost hit by a truck. As he approaches I realize that this person is not actually my friend from school, Hey my glasses can only do so much for my terrible vision...but rather some man who feels that it is appropriate to yell at some woman he doesn’t know from across the street and almost get killed in the process of getting to her. So I’m concerned. SO he approaches, removes the hood from his sweatshirt, puts out his black and mild cigarette and looks at me...um...yeah...

Finally he speaks...

“How you doing beautiful,”

“I’m fine how are you?”

At this point he proceeds to enter my personal space and attempts to give me a hug.

Whoa...hold on homie...i don’t know you...so I take a step back..

“Oh what’s up... I can’t get a hug...”

 I suppose it was the blank look on my face that prompted him to move forward....

“So I’m sayin, what are you about to do?”

“Oh I’m on my way home.” (STUPID, minus 2 points)

“Oh for real, can I spend some time with you?
“Uh, no, I have a lot of work to do.”

“Oh for real, would I be a distraction?”

“Yes.”

“Oh for real. I just want to be around you, you won’t even know I’m there...”

Insert Blank look here...

“Well I’m sayin’ do you have a number I can call you. I live right down the street, so we can get together all the time...”

“Oh well, I don’t live around here, I’m on my way to my cousin’s house and then I’m going home... (Good save B, +2 Points)

“Well can I get your number then?”

“Why don’t you give me your number...”

“Well I don’t really have a phone right now, I was going to call you from the payphone when I got that chance.”

Hmmm...

“You know, I’m not really interested in dating right now, but you have a good day okay?”

“Alright beautiful. I’ll let you go.”

So in most people’s lives, that would be the end of the story , but oh no, This is Brandelyn we’re talking about....

This morning I was in a coffee shop working when suddenly the extra chair at my table is pulled out. I look up and see the same dude sitting in the chair looking at me. I have to be honest and say that I had to think for a second to place his face but once I figured it out...I was not amused.
“How you doing Beautiful.”

Um....

“Oh are you working.”

Um...

“Am I distracting you?”

“Yes.”

“Would it bother you if I just sat here and looked at you.”

“YES”

“Are you sure you don’t have a phone number?”

“Yes”

He continued to look at me...

“Um, I’m really busy and on a deadline and yes you are distracting me, so it was nice seeing you. Goodbye...”

“SO you’re not into dating right now?”

“Nope.”

“You’re trying to get things in your life together?”

“Sure.”

“Well you know you can’t do it alone. Its not fun doing it alone.”

“Well, I’m having fun and I’m not interested. Goodbye.”

“Alright, I’ll let you get back to work then. But We’ll talk again. Just remember, I don’t give up easily.”

And then he left...Um...I’m scared...

Peace Y’all...
