Chapter 46

Without beating around the bush, he captured her lips in his mouth immediately, and started sucking and biting on her lower lip.. merely giving her time to catch her breath...

"Daddy" Kiara screamed, covering her eyes. Collins and Piper disengaged from the kiss quickly.

"Get a room" Kiara screamed and took a step closer to them.

"Wait she said get a room and she's coming closer instead of running away" Collins thought and stared at her.

"How did you get here Kiara ?" Collins asked.

"Oh that's true, Glory said you were at school" Piper asked.

"Today is Friday, you should know we close early, especially kids. But I'm not one of those kids. Bella came to pick me from school with a new driver" Kiara said as she unwrapped her candy.

"Who gave you a cell phone ?" Collins asked with a frown.

"None of your business. The two of you were kissing minutes ago" Kiara asked. Piper turned her face away with a sign of shyness.

"Go back down stairs Kiara" Collins scolded.

"Okay,, okay,, okay. It's fine. I will go down stairs but before I do, I want to talk to my Riley" Kiara rolled her eyes and stretched out her hand to Piper's hand.

"I want to ask you something," Kiara said. Collins' face widened a bit.

Kiara took Piper's hand and walked steps away from her dad and signalled her to bring her ear closer to her mouth which made Piper chuckled out of blue.

"Are you daddy's new girl?" she whispered. Piper was forced to laugh out loud and went on her knees and whisper back.

"Have been his girlfriend for a long period of time" she whispered back.

"Does that mean it's you in his high school picture?" Kiara asked curiously, which took Piper in surprise.

"Which high school picture ?" She asked.

"Let's whisper, he's going to hear us, " she whispered.

"Do you know I'm curious about what the two of you are talking about?" Collins said from where he was standing.

"You can go and get the files, I will wait for you here" Piper replied and he scoffed.

"She's always ruining my plan" Collins thought and went inside his room.

Meanwhile, Piper and Kiara had left that spot to another place.

"Is this the room?" Piper asked and she nodded quickly.

"It's locked," Piper said, trying to open the door..

"The key is in that flower vase" Kiara said as her index finger was pointing at the vase that was a few steps away from them. Piper walked closer to the flower vase and saw the key like she said.

They unlocked the door and went inside.

"It's dark, I'm scared of the dark" Kiara muttered and held Piper cloth tightly. Piper carried her and searched for the switch.

"Finally" she said and exhaled after wandering around the room for the switch. Without wasting much time, she switched it on and turned around. A " Wow "escaped her lips.

"This is the picture daddy used to look at every night," Kiara said, pointing at one of the pictures and a smile curve up Piper's lips.

"I'm the one there," Piper said and pecked her cheeks.

The pictures they took during their high school days were hung on the wall. Almost every corner of the empty room. There was a musical instrument set in the room.

"He's still romantic," Piper mumbled with a happy smile.

"Who's romantic ?" Kiara asked innocently.

"Your dad," Piper replied with a bright smile as she traced her hand on the portraits. He even had her paintings on the wall of the room, there were petals, roses, little bulbs and writings.

*Come back*

*I still have your memories*

*You will be my first and last other half*

*I miss your smile*

Piper burst into fresh tears and dropped Kiara to the ground immediately.

"Did I hurt you?" Kiara asked with a pout.

"No you didn't. I just feel like crying tears of joy" Piper replied.

Kiara seemed lost but felt like crying also..

"I will start crying if you don't stop crying" Kiara said, trying to fight back her tears. Piper sniffled in and wiped her tears instantly.

"Let's get out here" Piper rushed her words and carried Kiara. She rushed to switch off the light and opened the door slowly, she peek her head out a little to check the corridors.

"Is it free?" Kiara whispered. Her sight alone was making Piper laugh more.

"It's free darling" Piper replied and came out of the room and locked it up.

"Don't forget to put the key back" Kiara said almost with a scream but Piper was fast enough to cover her mouth.

"Are you always like this?" Piper asked and took the stairs.

"Let's take another route, daddy gonna scold me" Kiara cried, holding Piper's hand.

"Why will he scold you? You did nothing wrong" Piper said, staring at her.

"I did something wrong. He said I shouldn't move an inch to this door. But I just did" Kiara said, holding her head with those little palms of hers.

"She's acting like an elder person" Piper thought and smiled at her attitude.

"Okay fine. Lead the way" Piper said and she beams with a smile. She held Piper's hand and took another step.

Meanwhile, Collins was waiting for them to get out of the building. At first, he thought they were waiting for him at his car garage when he didn't see them at the spot he left them. Upon arriving there, he didn't see them.

He was questioned by the rest.

"Do mean Kiara is here" Glory asked again to be sure of what she had.

"She's here, thanks for giving her a cell phone to call Bella over" Collins said with a frustrating sigh.

"My niece is really smart," Richard giggled. Collins scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"We are running out of time, they should be here any time soon" Glory said, checking her watch.

"I'm sure she's taking Piper around the building," Collins said and exhaled. Vivienne was just staring at how dramatic they were.

"We are sorry for keeping you guys waiting. " Piper apologized.

"Kiara" Collins yelled which made Kiara to flinch back.

"Keep acting like this, get your ass to jail" Richard threatened.

"I forgot we got an FBI uncle" Collins joked and got inside the car. Piper and Kiara got in and they drove out of the compound.

Mrs Walker dropped Riley breakfast on the table and got her a cup of water.

"How is Piper coping alone? I will resume tomorrow" she said and dug into the food.

"You should take a rest just like Nurse Grace said. If Piper was here, she would have said the same thing. You don't have to worry about anything. We will go through this with his grace." Mrs Walker said and pecked her cheek.

"I'm back mom" Vivienne said from the entrance and the jar of water Mrs Walker was holding fell from her hand.
