The TV became my newest obsession, I watched every channel till I began to memorize the time for soap operas and every show

It helped take my mind off things until the power is cut off... And I will fall back to my sober self

I would wake up as early as I can, take my bath and dress up quickly before rushing to the kitchen to boil water.. Most times he would come to the kitchen and brew his coffee himself but I know he was trying to teach me how to make it.. I won't be surprised when he suddenly ask me to make it compulsorily one day..

It isn't so hard though .. Just two spoons of coffee, no cream, no sugar.. Sometimes he likes having a slice or two of bread or fruit mostly apple

So I have learnt to put all this things in place for him before he even ask.. I would make sure nothing delays him so he can get out of the house on time

And he often leaves the house before 7.30am and now I don't even bother checking if he locked the door or not, I still don't know what the wall outside looks like.. I remember we came in through a gate and after that I don't remember anything.. I don't know how long this would continue like this but I have learnt to not fight it

Roughly my days in this house are counting even though very slowly but I know this cannot go on forever

After he leaves in the morning, am left alone with the television and the abundant food in the house... As i watch series of programmes on TV am also feeding myself with all sorts

There are two fridge in the kitchen and one in the dinning area.. The one in the dinning is just the drink section.. Mostly bottled water and plastic drinks and then we have one deep freezer and another fridge in the kitchen

The deep freezer is filled with meat, fish, chicken, turkey, vegetables put in different transparent bags and placed them in the freeezer while the other fridge is my favorite... Contains all sorts of fruits, chocolate, cake, ice cream and other sweeties I don't know their names

And There's a lot of food in the kitchen... Even the foster care's kitchen didn't have this much and it fed over a hundred children and a dozen staff..

I don't know why but I can't stop comparing the Foster care and this mansion.... No matter how much I like it here sometimes.... It can't be compared to seeing and meeting new people everyday

If ten children are adopted from the foster care another ten is added randomly if not ten then maybe seven.....

And am so carefree that i finds it really hard to keep my mouth shut now I have to remain quiet because I don't have anyone to talk to... I have been speaking to myself and responding to myself but it just not the same

Every night before Mr Philips returns I always like to be in my room even though am not sleeping..... The power goes off by 2 in the afternoon and returns back by 6....

Sometimes I can watch movie till I hear the horn of his car then I switch off the TV and run to my room mostly when he returns by 11... There are times he returns back before 7 and I know it would be stupid to pretend to be asleep so whenever he comes in early he has not been drinking so I have to prepare dinner... A few times he has joined me in the kitchen to put me through and other times he just sits in the living room watching sports

If I have cooked for him ten times, he would have complained about the food at least six times... He hasn't complained about my noodles and I have prepared it twice for him.

I guess am good at it because that's what I make mostly for myself.. So I'm getting good at measuring the water level and not making it too soft...

These days he rarely nags, infact I avoid him most times.... I know one of these days he would still ask me to clean up the whole house again so I have started cleaning the room one per day before he even ask me to do it

Today happen to be one of his late days.. I was watching a very interesting nollywood movie... My focus was on the movie that I didn't even notice the car horn or that he drove in before I realized he was already at the door opening it.. I ran to the TV to put it off but the door jerked open and I ducked only to hear loud moans and clicking sounds

I looked up... I actually peeped towards the door I was even scared it might be thieves then I saw Mr Philips and a lady eating each other's face.... It was so disgusting... Miss Tris had no class, how can she be doing a thing like this... but when I looked at them again and notice this person was light skinned.. Lighter than mine and Miss Tris is not fair at all... Not as dark as Mr Philips but definitely not fair

And in that motion they were heading upstairs not leaving each others face, she tossed her shoe and that's when I got a clear view...

This is definitely not Miss Tris
But i thought Miss Tris is suppose to be his girlfriend
Am I the one that is mistaken or Mr Philips just likes to sleep around
