Chapter 2
"Are you sure you've got everything darling? We don't want a situation of us having to drive all the way back because you've forgotten anything." Kelly questioned her daughter. Her precious daughter was growing up, and Kelly found it hard to believe that Mia was infact 6 years old.
"Yes Mummy! Is daddy driving me to school?" Mia came into her parents bedroom and found her mother.
"He should be hun, your daddy is very busy, and you know that sweetie. But I'm sure he'll make it in time" She smiled, secretly cursing Piers for not calling her.
Just at that moment Kelly's phone rang. It was of course Piers. She picked it up.
'Where the hell are you Piers?'
'Kel! I'm so sorry, I've been in a meeting all day and only just got your message!'
'MessagES, Piers. I rang you like 5 times, and its not me you should be apologising to, its our daughter.'
'Oh. Yes. Right. Please tell Mia that I'm so sorry and I'll make it up to her some other time...'
'Tell her yourself ,Piers.' Kelly wasn't in the mood to talk to him anymore. She handed the phone to Mia.
'Hello? Daddy? Where are you? Are you coming soon?'
'MIA! Princess I'm so terribly sorry! But Daddy has some urgent work he needs to do, so I'm going to have to stay in London for today, so Mummy is going to have to take you instead.' He said full of guilt.
'Oh.' Mia grunted.
'I'm sorry Princess' He could sense the sadness in her voice. He imagined her face, her eyelids trembeling in an attempt to hold back the tears, her lips quivering and her head ducked- much like Kelly, when she was genuinely upset herself. Kelly was not as strong as she made out, and Piers had often seen the more vunerable side to her.
'Mia, sweetheart, would you mind putting your mother on for a moment?'
Mia walked into the living room and handed the phone to her mother. She then went into her room, as to leave her parents alone.
'Kel?' Piers was the first out of the pair to speak, breaking the silence.
'I'm here.' She whispered.
'I'm sorry for lumbering this on you Kel.'He sounded remorseful.
'Its fine, really. You just focus on work... I love you' She still sounded upset.
'I love you too Kel.' He spoke with a gentle voice, which Kelly knew he only used when he was guilty or upset.
'Bye then..' She wasn't sure what to say next.
'She's a lot like you.' He admitted.
This brought a smile to Kelly's lips.
'What is she beautiful, devious...?'
'Intelligent and mischevious' He continued smiling to himself.
Kelly laughed.
'You are a big cheeseball y'know!'
'That's what you love about me though Kel!' He sniggered.
Mia marched into the room and pointed at the clock.
'Oh crap! Sorry Piers! Just noticed the time. Mia is an impatient one- just like her FATHER!" Kelly chuckled, whilst Mia just stared at her confused.
'Touche Kelly, Touche!' He couldn't help but smile at his wife's comeback.
'Bye Piers'
'Bye Kel'

"Are we there yet Mummy?" Mia was getting impatient.
"No sweetheart, not yet, we've still got a while to go."They had been on the motorway for around 30 minutes, Kelly was getting impatient as the traffic came to a halt.
"Great, just what I need." Kelly muttered under her breath.
"Mummy... I really really really need the toilet." Mia knew how much this would agitate her mother even more.
"Oh Mia, your timing is JUST fab..." 'Just like your fathers' she muttered.
Looking at her daughters face in the car mirror made her lower her voice. "Okay.. Ill see where we can stop."
…..
"You are so lucky we were near that Service Station!"Kelly pointed out. "Go on hun, hurry up.. Or the traffic will get worse! I'll be in THAT shop over there" She pointed.
"Remember..." Kelly was interuppted.
"No talking to strangers, going off with strangers and if in doubt go to the nearest you get mugged- give them everything and if in doubt... Bluff!" Mia seemed very proud of her knowladge, and so did her mother.
"Your learning kiddo! Now go pee!" Kelly watched her daughter walk to the toilets before heading to the shop.
…..
The shop was small... Very small. She picked up some mints, two sandwiches, one copy of The National Geographic and one of HELLO!, before heading to the queue for the checkout. Just in time, she thought as many people joined after her.
The man behind her continued his conversation. He mentioned St. Trinians and Kelly turned round. She gasped as she saw who the man was.
"Kelly?"
