Hide and Go Seek

I was working the 10am-7pm shift at the Tomorrow's Antiques furniture store on Saturday, so Alex brought me a late lunch and hung out until I got off. It was pretty slow, no one had come in for about an hour, and around 6:45 I went to use the restroom before I closed up. When I came out Alex was nowhere to be found. I made a couple laps around the store, called his phone a couple times (which he didn't answer), and finally found him hiding behind a couch. Game on. It was then my turn to hide. After he had found me he wanted to hide again. So I walk around the store and finally saw a bed towards the front of the store that looked a little more fluffy than usual. As I was walking up to uncover him, a customer walked in the front door just to our left. I played it off, asking if there was anything I could help them, knowing Alex would be under the queen mattress for a little while. Ten minutes went by, the customer was getting ready to leave, and in walks another customer. She stayed another ten minutes. By the time she left Alex had been squished between the box spring and the mattress of the queen bed for a good 20 minutes. He must have done a good job, because neither of the customers noticed. Our new found game has been named "Hide n' antique."
