I woke up way later than the usual alarm time. It’s Sunday, so I was not really worried or had anything in mind. I scratched my head and went to do my usual morning chores. I took a bath and made myself a quick breakfast consisting of peanut butter sandwiches and made a list of household items that I needed to buy to last for the month.

With the list on my hand, and money in my pockets. I set myself to venture out to the supermarket. According to the GPS, I would need to take a subway to the city centre and the supermarket was around 5 minutes of walk from the city centre subway station.

The weather was beautiful as I walked by rows of houses and towards the subway station. Birds were chirping and people were passing by with smiles on their faces probably basking in the sunlight. The trees were dancing with the rhythm of the wind. Leaves gently fell on the street just to be swept away by the breeze passing by. The day felt so relaxing and calm.

Within minutes, I had reached the subway station. It’s a fairly small station and quite clean, with a few vending machines placed in the corridors of the area. I checked out the vending machines on the items which were sold. As usual, food and drinks were sold in them but one of them was selling condoms and “sexual enhancers”. I was a little awed as back in my hometown these items were sold in secret and not as public as this.

I proceeded to get myself a subway ticket as a long haired lady approached and bought something from the vending machine that was selling condoms.

“Must be her day today,” I thought to myself as I waited for the subway train to arrive. There were a few people waiting for the same train as I did. Seems like even though its a Sunday but not many people were going to the city centre. The train finally arrived, and I managed to pick a comfortable seat in the train and sat down and began to check on my phone.

I saw Mrs Patel sent me a few videos, and as I was downloading them down, the lady who was previously buying condoms in the station came and sat in front of me. I felt a little weird as the whole train was full of empty seats but she chose to sit right in front of me. I stole some look at her. She is a tall slender lady, with long hair exceeding her shoulders. She was wearing a white T-shirt and short yoga pants. Her skin was yellowish white and she had a pair of unique green eyes. Our eyes met in an instant as I was checking her out and we both looked at different ways. I guess she was checking me out as well.

My destination finally arrived and I stepped out of the train and made my way towards the supermarket. The whole city centre was crowded by a lot of people minding their own business. All through the hustle and bustle, I managed to find the supermarket and proceeded to get the items I listed earlier. The whole supermarket was a huge maze and I took my time on actually exploring the supermarket rather than buying the stuff I needed.

At the checkout counter, I felt something weird and from the corner of my eyes, I saw the lady again. She was paying something on the next counter. In my head, I was in suspicion if she had been stalking or tracking me. Or it could just be a big coincidence. I shrugged off the thought of the lady and paid for my items. Besides, I never knew anything about her.

I felt hungry after my shopping spree earlier, thus I made my way to the food court nearby. As I was thinking on what to buy for my lunch, a cheerful voice greeted me from behind.

“Heyya! You are the new guy, right? The one with hand issues,” Mrs Madison greeted, looking at my hand for any injury indication.

“H ... Hi! Yeah! That’s me, it had gotten better though, thanks to your medication,” I said, while looking at my hand. I had actually forgotten the injury on my hand for quite some time and this was the first time after a while I myself was checking it.

“Well, about that ... Get your food first and meet me at that table, I got something to tell,” She said as she left me pondering on what she was talking about. I chose mac and cheese as my lunch and quickly hurried to the table she sat.

“Ok, now, don’t be shocked but I gave the wrong medication to you,” She said calmly.

“What do you mean?” I answered, nearly half shouting, trying to control my emotions.

“Well, I accidentally gave you an enhanced sildenafil by mistake,” She said, scratching her head, trying to give off an innocent vibe.

“What is sildenafil? What does it do now? Am i gonna be ok?” I shot a flurry of questions at her.
