The closet is small and cramped, I nudge you with my elbow as I try to wipe the sweat from my brow. Mumbling an apology I inhale deeply, the scent of you filling my senses and almost knocking me off balance. I've never been claustrophobic, but now, in this tiny space with you, I'm finding it hard to breathe.

I gasp as you lean upwards, your leg grazing my inner thigh. It lingers there and I have to steady myself against the wall as you lean further up the door, your knee pressing against my crotch, unknowingly triggering a switch.

"You okay down there Sara?"

A shudder. Your knee still...there... "Yeah..I'm..uh...never been better."

"Well pass me a..."

Like I said, I've never been claustrophobic until now, when I open my eyes and see you kneeling over me, a glass of water in your hand, a hint of amusement in your eyes.

"I passed out, right?" Not wanting to meet your eyes, how pathetic can I get?

"You passed out." A faint smile touches your lips and I can tell you're finding it hard to swallow a giggle.

"For a moment I thought I was going to have to give you the kiss of life..." She notices the change in my eyes. "But you're awake now... unless..."

She pushes me back down and puts a hand over my eyes, gently closing them.

The walls no longer press against my skin, and as her soft lips brush mine, the tiny space enclosing us suddenly feels like home.
