And I don't have to work so I am going to have a few friends over to play.

Sardines

I am hiding from the others
I have been given a head start to find a hiding place. At the top of the stairs I find an empty room with a bed in it  

Quickly, I slide under the bed and wait for the others to find me.
I hear footsteps, someone is getting closer. He comes straight for me, as if he knew where I was, as if I had left a trail, a scent. As if we had planned this hiding place together.

I catch my breath, my heart pounding, becauseI know who it is.
The one person in the group I want to find me. It has to be him. I will it to be him.

He comes straight to the room, and slides under the bed next to me. We lie together, hardly breathing, our hands beginning to explore. Hands that have never before touched me, move all over me.I hardly dare breathe as I listen for the others.
My skin is alive, the excitement running all through me.
