hide and go seek

She fell for me really hard, but I fell for her too, you know? Instantly, she was gorgeous. It was too easy to fall in love with a girl like that.

I was dropping her off at home one day, and when I walked her to the front door I said, "Goodbye"
she replied, "I love you" and quickly ran inside to shut the door.

We went to Descanso, to this neat little spot up a hill. We used to watch the stars. It'd talk to her like a City Boy, and she'd reply like a Country Girl.

Then we drove out, really far East. We just followed the 8 freeway until we didn't know where we were. I think we left at around 6. We drove on for another couple of hours and drove by a sign that said "Indian Reservation" and some odd tribe name I can't even remember.

We follow the creeping road up the side of a mountain. The trees and branches creep the surface of the car while the gravel road slashes on my tires and kicks rocks into the axles.

We drove for about 20 minutes. There were no cars. The radio no longer picked up a station, just fizz. There were 3 or 4 abandonned houses.

We go inside one of them, there was no lock on the door. She's looking around when I hide,

"Hey Ivan! Don't be stupid! This is dumb! Please..."

I'm hiding in the closet.

She says,
"Fine, we'll play hide and go seek. I hide, you find me. I'll leave clues."

I get out of the closet, and I see her bra on the floor. A sock leads me to the hallway, another turns me into the bathroom where I find her pants, shirt, and shoes.

"Hey, there's nothing here! Where are you?"
There is no reply.

I look behind me, and across the hallway there is a door half-creaked open going into the master bedroom. The last clue is a pair of panties on the door-knob.

I open the door.

"Now, that wasn't so hard, was it?"

She's lying there on the wood floor naked, holding her knee with both hands and smiling at me.
