"Ohhhh Kimmy, ohhhh Makayla, come out, come out, wherever you are"
Kim was crouched in the back of the hallway closet hiding from Adam who was armed with a nerf gun. She knew Makayla was safely tucked away in a small space next to the couch that he would never check because it was so small.
"You know it's only a matter of WHEN I find you, not IF" he singsonged as she tried to hold her breath and not giggle and give away her hiding spot.
She heard the panty door open and shut in the kitchen and knew it was only a matter of minutes before he found her. She tried her best to pull the nerf bow out she had in front of her and cock it without him hearing but the thing was tough and she bumped her elbow into the wall behind her.
"Did I just hear a little mouse in the living room?" She heard his footsteps ebbing closer to the closet.
"Makayla if you give up now I'll take you to get ice cream." He had tried this tactic before but she never gave in, she was in it to win it, she gave Kim and Adam a run for their money with her competitive streak.
Kim steadied the bow, if she shot just as he opened the door she might be able to hit him before he got a shot off. "I know someone's in the hall closet, it's the only place I haven't looked, you two better not be together again, you know it's against the rules."
She saw his feet stop below the door and put her finger on the trigger ready to pull as soon as he opened, the handle began to turn and the light broke through and she pulled without thinking but the arrow flew into the middle of the room and he peeked from behind the door as she scrambled to load another arrow. "Do you wanna surrender or am I really going to have to shoot you?"
She continued to load the arrow without looking up, the sting of the rubber bullet hitting her forehead pissed her off. "Why don't you ever let me win? It isn't fair!" she pushed herself up off the floor as she fell out of the closet.
"What kind of boyfriend would I be if I let you win?" he spun around and continued his hunt for the littlest Burgess.
"The kind who wants to get laid tonight" she whispered into his ear, momentarily distracting him from the task at hand.
"Owww" he hissed as the tiny bullet hit him in the back of the neck. "I'll let you win when she lets me win." He laughed rubbing the spot her bullet hit, "You can come out now, you won…again."
