He was a stud with a chiseled jaw and strong hands; she was a bombshell with cute, perky tits and amazing hips. They quickly hit it off when they met for the first time in college. It wasn't long before they were at each other's house every night, watching copious amounts of Netflix and chilling very, very hard.
But over a couple years, as they neared the end of their majors, coursework got difficult and stressful. They made less time for each other. They slept over less often. The "spark" they felt upon meeting each other was starting to fade.
That's why, with their fourth anniversary approaching, he was determined to recapture that spark. He wasn't sure how, yet, but ideas were welcome. He often went browsing at the mall for things that she might like, things she'd always wanted... even rings, here and there, but now didn't seem like the right time for that.
With just over a week to spare, his search came to a close when he visited a new, "hippie-dippie" shop hidden in the far end of the local mall. It was filled with witchy stuff, weed paraphernalia, and too many "Live, Laugh, Love" signs -- not really what he was looking for. But as he turned to leave, the lady behind the counter beckoned to him:
"Leaving so soon? But you haven't bought anything! You must be looking for something specific, no?" She motioned him back.
"Uh, I'm just looking for an anniversary gift for my girlfriend."
"Ah! And how long have you been together, dear?"
"It's gonna be our fourth anniversary, this month. But school's made it really hard for us, so I just wanted something special, I dunno. Not sure really what I'm looking for, I was just browsing."
The purveyor grinned and held up a small bottle. "Then why don't you take a look at this?"
Reluctantly, he walked back to the desk and grabbed the bottle carefully, reading the label. "Fertility pills...? No, no ma'am, we're not trying to... I mean, we're not ready for kids."
She chuckled, "You don't have to be. Just remember to wear protection! But those will give you both a night that you'll never forget, y'understand?"
Seemed like risky business. But something about that risk seemed... thrilling. "How much are these?"
"Twelve dollars, dear."
Decently affordable. He'd still have enough money to buy something else, if he needed to. After pondering a long while, alone in the middle of the store, he said, "Okay. Why not?" And it was done.
"Oh! Before you go, dear, don't forget your protection," the lady said as she placed a box of condoms on the table.
"XXL? I'm, uh, flattered, lady, but those are probably... not the right size." She waved her hands dismissively and told him, "They're the largest size I carry right now, and--" she grabbed his hands gently -- "trust me on this one, okay? You will want these." He was about to protest again, so she cut him off and said, "It's on the house. Just take them." So he did. And with bag in hand, he left, unsure if this was really the right decision.
He decided he'd tell his girlfriend and gauge her reaction before doing anything else with the new pills. If she hated them, he could always can them and come up with another gift. But instead, she was very excited.
"One of my friends works at that store! Says the manager is really cool, always knows what's up. I can't believe you've never been there before!"
"Really? I mean, it's under an elevator at the end of the store. I can't believe you knew about it," he laughed.
"So, she really suggested these pills? But... I mean... I think you're really sweet, but... we're not having kids yet, are we? It's not a good time at all, for either of us."
"No no, I agree! I told the lady the same thing. She said to just use protection and that it'd be a 'fun night'," he smirked. "And I thought... it's been a while, y'know? You and I could use a night to ourselves."
She blushed, and nodded. "So, what's the instructions on these?" She peeked into the bag. "Oh, it's a two-pack. One is pink and one is blue. Yeah, I guess there's a bottle for each of us?"
"Oh, really?" He didn't remember seeing a second bottle. "It says here... take one pill every morning, and one every night, for seven days. Geez... that's a long time."
"We'll have to start tonight, then, to be done in time for our anniversary," she exclaimed.
"Okay. Are you sure about this?" He asked to be sure, but he could already see the sparks again in her eyes.
"I... I think so. It's nothing fancy, but I'd like a sexy night alone with my stud." He smiled and agreed.
