Brian Gets Attention

Almost as soon as he/she stepped outside, it became painfully obvious that people reacted in a very different way to Brianna than they did to Brian. He used to feel fairly invisible walking around as an average looking man, and sometimes that kind of sucked. However, after a couple of hours as a hot chick, he would have given anything to go back to that kind of anonymity.

The worst part was all the unwanted attention from men. As someone who still very much identified as a heterosexual man himself, the constant catcalling, wolf whistling and leering from random guys as he just tried to go about his business made him feel intensely uncomfortable and resentful. It was even worse when he got actively hit on, and there seemed to be no way to extract himself from the unsolicited advances of sleazeballs that didn't result in him being called either a bitch or, somewhat illogically, a slut.

Brian resolved to spend as little time in public as possible that afternoon so, once he had Brianna's phone sorted, went straight to the mall to get himself all the female clothing options he needed for now from under one roof. The advantage of him choosing what a beautiful woman should wear, as opposed to his own outfits, was that Brian knew instinctively and exactly what looked hot. The drawback was he ended up with a wardrobe that was almost entirely sexy rather than practical. Nonetheless, he was very happy with the little black dress and accompanying high heels he had selected for that evening.

After stopping by his apartment to drop off his new purchases, and as evening approached, Brian decided that, dressed like he was, it might be safer to Uber to the bar rather than risk walking through some fairly secluded streets to get there. It was mid-ride that he received a message from his date - Lilith had suffered some kind of family emergency and needed to take a raincheck. All dolled up, and with his cab already paid for, Brian decided he may as well check out the bar anyway, mostly out of curiosity.

The first thing he couldn't fail to notice as he entered his first lesbian establishment was just how many gorgeous women were in there. He didn't like to think of himself as someone who stereotyped any group, but deep down he had expected a more butch crowd, with plenty of shaved heads and tattoos to be seen. There were a few of those around, but the overall proportion of women in this bar who were Brian's type aesthetically was as high here as in any other bar he had visited - perhaps even higher. Better still, all there was in here was women.

Brian approached the bar and very quickly received attention from a highly attractive female steward with dark, shoulder length hair and delicate East Asian features.

"Hey, you must be new here, otherwise I would have recognised you. I'm Konnie"

"Oh, right.." Brian was a little taken aback at being given a first name greeting by the person serving his drink. This place seemed super friendly so far "I'm Brian...uh, Brianna. Yeah, I'm basically new in town"

"Well, hopefully you'll like it here enough to stick around, Brianna" Konnie smiled back "What can I get you?"

"Uh.." Brian wanted to order lager, but thought that might seem a bit out of place in his current guise "A rum and coke please!"

"Coming right up!"

When Konnie returned with his drink, Brian reached for his credit card, but she waved it away with a smile.

"This one's on the house!"

If that wasn't already enough of a pleasant surprise to Brian, he had to do a double take when he looked down at the coaster Konnie had slipped under his drink, on which she had written her name and number in what appeared to be lipstick. That was like something that would happen to James Bond in a movie but never to him. He slipped the coaster into his handbag, almost failing to notice in his excitement that someone else had now joined him.

"Hey!"

"Oh, uh, hi!" Brian managed to stammer at the impossibly cute, slightly tomboyish young woman who had taken the bar stool right next to him, rather than one of the many other unoccupied seats that weren't so close by "I'm Brianna"

"Hey Brianna! I'm Melinda, but you can call me Mel. I've not seen you in here before?"

"No, uh, I'm new in town"

The pair made pleasant conversation for a while as Mel ordered and sipped on a pink coloured cocktail of some sort. Brian was fairly smitten already but, typically, didn't have the nerve to make a move.

"Shit, I've gotta go. My friend has her birthday meal tonight" Mel excused herself, as Brian cursed his cowardice...except "It's been lovely talking to you, Brianna. Why don't we exchange numbers? We can hang out together another time and get to know each other better?"

Brian eagerly did exactly as suggested, extremely grateful to himself that he had already acquired a separate phone and number for his alter ego. Had he really just secured a definite date with a hot girl without even having to ask? He was still trying to come to terms with that remarkable turn of events when he realised someone else was now talking to him from the seat Mel had not long vacated.

"You look like you're done with that drink, can I get you another?"

"Oh, uh...." Brian was struggling to think straight by this point as he turned to face the Latina vision of beauty who had made the offer "Thank you, I'd love a rum and coke. I'm Brianna"

"Carmen" his newest acquaintance smiled prettily "It's a pleasure to meet you, Brianna"

This was unbelievable! When Brian had first been turned into a woman by a crazy fairy lady, it had seemed like a disaster. Less than an hour ago he was still hating it. Now he wasn't sure he would ever want to be changed back.
