One Time Isn't Enough

Chapter 23

Miko P.O.V. 22nd

I kissed Daddy on the cheek before leaving heading home. I pulled into the driveway seeing that Luci's car was gone which meant that Lucas was most likely gone too. I park turning off the car grabbing my phone from the passenger seat getting out and heading inside patting Spice who was laying on the entryway table cleaning his paw. 

"I'm home," I called into the house. "Hi, sweetie," I heard grandma from the kitchen before a quiet hello from Stacy was heard after her. He wasn't a loud man but he was well spoken. I walked back towards my room opening the door seeing the Snowballs were no longer hiding out in my room. I crossed the hall opening the door seeing their room was also empty. I walked down the hall knocking on dads door getting a come in. 

I looked around the room seeing Dad in his bed typing away on his laptop. "Where are the Snowballs?" I asked walking over to look at his computer. "Basement cleaning the storage room as punishment," He said looking over at me as I chuckled. "You know grandma is gonna go through it a second time even if they clean it right?" I asked leaning against the headboard of his bed. "Yes, but I told them if when grandma goes through it she throws out more than them that they are gonna have to do the attic," 

"Blocking their loophole I see," I joked as he rolled his eyes. "So what are you doing?" I asked looking at the screen seeing a bunch of numbers. "Checking the spending numbers of the other buildings cause three have over drafted the accounts and that usually means someone thinks they're getting away with taking extra money or someone spent money where they weren't supposed to," He said mumbling a few numbers after he spoke. I looked at the numbers. 

"They all over drafted a pretty similar amount of money. 20,000, 22,000, and 19,000 over. I think they're all working together to make it seem like this year was just slightly more expensive. Who's in charge of finances at those three places?" I asked pulling my phone out of my pocket. Ayden Finley, Alex Slade, and Dwayne Smith. Two are in Texas and one is in Kansas. I typed in their names on Instagram and start looking at their pages. 

"Ayden just Married Dwayn cousin and Alex was a groomsman at the wedding and it looks like they had a lot of private dinners of just them three. I say use it as suspicion cause Alex just bought 2 new sports cars in the last month," I said screen shooting everything before exiting Instagram sending them to dad. "Make sure to check how much they 'spent' in sending mall because remember that last time that one guy Tim covered his tracks by labelling it as mailing expenses," I said sitting on the end of his bed. 

"You're right, I wasn't even gonna check the mail room," He said opening folds scrolling through all the large numbers. "Hey, dad can I get a piercing?" I asked as his eyes dart back and forth on the screen. "Yes, but what kind of piercing are you wanting to get?" He asked. 

I bite my lip, "Nipple piercings." He stopped moving before looking up slowly, "Say what now?" He asked eye wide. "Nipple....." I said again awkwardly. It was quiet for a minute before he just sighed. 

"I'm not evening going to question it but whatever, Make an appointment to get them pierced and I'll pay for them," He said shaking his head before going back to look at his laptop. "Thank you, Dad. Don't forget to check all the numbers," I said walking out of the room closing the door behind me before walking back downstairs to the basement. I walked down the stairs going to the door that was under the stairs and lead to a brightly light murder room of concrete. I walked in hearing Mika and Maki talking to each other behind a shelve. I walked as quietly as I could looking throw the boxes on the shelves to seeing staring at piles of stuff organized on the floor.

"There is definitely not enough stuff in the throwaway or give away pile. Grandma is somehow gonna find more than this to throughout," Maki said scratching the back of his head as I reached between the boxes tapping him on the shoulder. I pulled my arm back as he flipped around. "Did you see that?" He shouted looking over at Mika. "See what?" 

"I swear some just touched me from over here," Maki said stepping away from the shelve. I laughed coming out from around the shelve. "Don't get too scared it's just little ole," I laughed leaning against the shelve looking at the piles on the floor. "Miko! Your so mean," Maki yelled at me whining like a small child. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I just could not resist doing it. Scaring you to is my big brother pass time," I laughed. 

Maki stuck his tongue out at me making me laugh. "Oh, fight me. So how's cleaning coming along?" I asked seeing they only had one full trash bag and one empty one opened up. "We don't know what's important and what not, so we have no idea what we can throw away," Mika said gesturing to the pile of papers and decorations on the floor. 

"Okay, I'll give y'all a hint. If it has anything to do with dads work to put it off to the side cause he needs to take those back to work. If it's old artworks from our childhood ask dad if he wants to keep them if not chuck them. Any holiday decorations you haven't seen in the last three years, -bye-bye unless it's the Christmas village decorations cause those are mine, don't touch them," I said knowing that was what was mostly down here. 

They both nodded before getting back to work on looking through the stuff so I went back upstairs. Heading into the kitchen to see what Grandma was up to with Stacy. I walked thru the door seeing grandma mixing the dough in a bowl. '"OOOOOO, Are you making cookies?" I asked looking into the bowl. She hummed a yes before dumping more flour into the bowl mixing it again. 

"How long are they gonna be until they are done?" I asked already tasting the beautiful melting taste in my mouth when they're fresh out of the oven. She thought for a minute as she started making little balls out of the dough. "In about 45 minuted after they get put in the oven," She answered handing me a small ball of dough knowing I was going to ask. "Thank you," I grabbed the ball popping it into my mouth before leaving the kitchen heading into the living room to watch some animal planet. 

I sat on the couch getting comfy turning on the tv seeing dr paul was on.
