"Let's play hide and seek!" Myra suggests.
Selina giggles. "Myra, we aren't 5 anymore! Plus, where's your fat butt going to hide in my house?!"
Myra playful punches Selina's skinny arm. "I bet (your name) and I can find good places to hide, and I bet you wouldn't be able to find us in 15 minutes."
"Ohhhh a bet!" Selina laughs. "What kinda bet we talking sugar plum?"
Myra thinks for a minute. "If you find both of us within 15 minutes, I'll pay you back for the pizza."
"Deal!" Selina says. "But what do you get if you win?"
"You let me use your sparkly blue nail polish tonight," Myra answers.
Selina's mouth drops. "My favorite polish?! But it's expensive, and I only get it for Christmas each year."
Myra winks at you. You realize this is her way of asking for help. "Oh come on Selina!" you goad. "Are you too chicken that we'll beat you?"
The black haired beauty bites the bait. "Fine, but I won't lose to you guys in my own house!"
"Ok Selina, count to 100 and we'll find the perfect spot," Myra says.
"Yeah, the perfect spot to be found in," Selina gloats. "Ok, 1....2..."
Myra grabs your hand and drags you up the stairs. Obviously, she knew exactly where to go, but that left you wondering why she's grabbing you.
"What are you doing Myra?" you whisper. "I need to find my own spot."
"Nuh uh," she says. "We are sticking together. She'll expect that, and I have a great spot in mind." Myra paused and that mischievous smile returned to her face. "Plus, I have a little surprise for you as well."
You realize perhaps this game is just a way for Myra to have you to herself. With that in mind, you smile back, and follow her into the living room area. Suddenly, she stops in the middle of the room. It doesn't seem to you that she's deliberating, just waiting.
"What are we stopping for?" you whisper again. "I thought you had a spot picked out."
"I do," she says simply. "Just wait a few more-"
"26.....27....28...29....30."
"Ok, we are going back downstairs and hiding in the guest room," Myra explains. "We need to be really quiet to sneak past her."
Now you understand. Selina will waste a lot of time upstairs, thinking Myra and yourself are hiding on the next floor. This isn't about finding a good spot, it's about buying time.
Quietly, you and Myra sneak back downstairs. Myra steps made not a sound. As you end up back downstairs, you watch Selina, her head down and still counting.
"42....42....44.....45."
Fortunately, the door to the guest room is ajar enough for both of you to easily slip in. The room is small, with a queen size bed dominating the room. Another noticeable feature is a wide closet, which you are lead into. Coats, shoes, and winter clothes line the inside of the dark closet.
"63....64...65...66."
Myra and you pile in the closet as quietly as we can. Hangers ding against each other, and coats ruffled as we squeeze in. It seems dark enough not to be noticed, though you can make out the outline of Myra sitting next to you. Everything looks normal, so all we have to do is wait.
Finally, Selina counts up to 100. "READY OR NOT HERE I COME!!!" she shouts. As expected, you hear her frolicking up the stairs and to the main floor. Hopefully, this would last her awhile.
Then suddenly, Myra shines her cell, allowing each other to see the other's face.
"Well, we're alone," she says. "So how about we have a little fun?"
