"But why do we have to go shopping today?" Omolade grumbled to her sister who brushed past her to pick up another can of sweet corn off the shelf. "It's Thursday night for Christ sake! What happened to Saturday or even tomorrow?"

"Because I need things for breakfast tomorrow."

Omolade frowned and followed her sister to the next line that had frozen turkey and chicken.

"You are just angry because you are missing your show that's all."

"Yes!! And the fact that Dapo is watching it without me."

"Well he did promise to record it for you." Ore said.

"I don't want to watch it later!" Omolade snapped. "Besides you know Dapo. He will spoil the episode for me by blabbing all that happened the moment we get home.

Ore just shrugged and picked up another pack of frozen chicken. "Sorry about that. I don't know what is interesting in that show.

Omolade's mouth dropped "what? Everything is interesting!"

Ore laughed at her sister's childishness. "Grow up Lade!"

Omolade crossed her arms over her chest and followed her sister.

"Gosh I need to wee" Ore said.

"Now who is the child?" Omolade retorted.

"Still you...." Ore sang.

"Says the pregnant woman that pees every 20 minutes."

"Shut up! And go grab the tortilla wrap. I will meet you at the counter"

With that, her sister left Omolde with the trolley that was packed with goodies. Omolade navigated through the shopping mall until she found the aisle that had Tortilla wrap. She grabbed two bags of it and dumped them in the trolley before she bent down to grab a chocolate syrup from the lower compartment. She left one hand lazily on the trolley while the other stretched out to grab the syrup.

She cursed for being so short before she left the trolley and bent down fully to pick the syrup. Still in her bending position, she checked for the expiry date as she saw her sister do for all the things they bought.

Satisfied with what she saw, she got up and came face to face with her friendly stranger.
The doctor who was now wearing a navy blue varsity thick sweater, a pair of dark jeans, a head warmer, gloves and boots laughed out.

"Three days in a row, now that's definitely a sign."

Omolade had a smile on her face too. "A sign for?"

"A sign to get your number?"

Now blushing Omolade tried to stall "how do I know you are not stalking me."

"Good question! Because I thought the same thing when I met you at my place of work yesterday."

"Hmm...okay. Touché!"

The doctor stretched out his iPhone to her to put in her number and she did once she received his phone.

"What should I save your number as miss..."

"Omolade." She said and gave him a shy smile.

"Tolani."

"You are Nigerian? I th- I thought you were..." she shook her head, shocked that he had a Yoruba name.

"Well if you say yes to dinner you could know all about where I am from."

Omolade laughed "Not gonna happen doc." With that she reached for her trolley and quickly made her way to the counter where her sister was waiting impatiently.

"I will call you." He called after her. Omolade smiled but did not turn back.

"What took you so long?" Ore asked.

"Oh!" Omolade blushed lightly "I couldn't find the tortilla bread."
