Heyy! This is my first time writing erotica and it’s a slow burn, so please read it with an open mind and patients. I’d love to hear how I could improve my writing and any other scenarios that you might be interested in reading.

I never expected my grocery run to turn into anything more than just picking up a few essentials. But that was before I found myself in the fruit aisle picking up a pineapple, I remembered the viral ‘Pineapple Gate’ trend. Supposedly, if you placed an upside down pineapple in your cart while shopping, it was a signal that you were single and open to possibilities. 

I chuckled “like that would work in India”, but curiosity got the best of me. So there I was, strolling through the supermarket, with a very deliberately placed upside down pineapple. I didn’t expect anything to come of it and then, I saw her. She was inspecting a bunch of grapes, completely oblivious to the fact that she had just become the most interesting part of my evening.

She was breathtaking, tall, curvy and effortlessly elegant. Her skin was a rich golden brown, glowing under the supermarket lights. She wore a fitted green kurti that hugged her figure and a pair of leggings that accentuated her long, shapely legs. Her arms so smooth, delicate and her nails were a deep maroon. But it was her face that truly held me captive. Large, almond shaped eyes, full lips curved into an irresistible smile and a sharp jawline that made her look hot and mischievous. Her thick, dark hair cascaded down her back in soft waves, a few strands slipping over and framing her face.

I notice sitting in her cart, nestled between a loaf of bread and a bag of tomatoes, an upside down pineapple. I pushed my cart forward, stopping right beside her. She glanced up, eyes flicking over me briefly before settling back on the grapes in her hand. 

“You know, if you squeeze it too hard, it bruises.” 

She arched a perfect brow, “Is that so?”. Her voice was teasing, a challenge hidden in her words. 

“you seem to have made a very bold fruit selection.” 

Finally turning her full attention to me “Oh?”. 

I nodded toward her cart. “The pineapple. Upside down. That’s not just a random choice, is it?” 

A slow smile spread across her lips, it was warm and teasing.  She placed the grapes back, “I could say the same about you”. She stepped closer, her body just inches from mine. The scent of jasmine and something sweet like cacao filled the air between us.

“So, does this mean we’re supposed to get together and eat the pineapples?” I say as I reach forward, my fingers brushing against hers and grabbed the pineapple in her cart. Her skin was soft but the heat from the touch sent a shiver up my spine and her gaze met mine. 

I smirked, “I’m just making sure it’s ready to be eaten.”

She murmured, her voice dipping slightly. “Then touch it gently, not like you’re fighting it.”

I swallowed, suddenly hyper aware of how close we were. My eyes flickered down to her lips, full and inviting. “And if I pull too hard?”

With a playful glint in those almond eyes. “Then you ruin the experience.”

The double meaning in her words wasn’t lost on me. The tension between us thickened, humming like an electric current. I let her guide my hands over the fruit, my fingers brushing against hers more times than necessary. “Feel it like this and check if you get the sweet smell” The moment charged with something neither of us wanted to break.

I exhaled a quiet laugh, shaking my head. “Didn’t think grocery shopping could be this… educational.”

She grinned, tilting her head slightly. “You’d be surprised what you can learn in unexpected places.” Her fingers lingered for just a second longer before she pulled away, the warmth of her touch still searing into my skin.

She turned, walking away without another word, her hips swaying just enough to drive me crazy. And just like that, she disappeared around the corner, leaving me standing there with a pineapple in my hand and a mind full of thoughts far from innocent. I smirked to myself. Some adventures start in the most unexpected places and I wasn’t about to let this one end so soon.
