Chapter 3: House Or Home.

Coming back from the care center, I made my way into the house, Mrs Johnson was sitting on the couch, all her attention on the television, Emmanuel and Anya were both sitting on the floor, playing with their toys. I greeted Mrs Johnson who ignored me and she laughed out loud on the movie she was watching, that's none of my concern, her behavior towards me doesn't get to me anymore, I'm used to that, who doesn't get used to what he/she sees everyday?.
Going into the kitchen, the used dishes were scattered everywhere, I had to pick them up and pile them together to wash later, I checked around to see whether I would see any food to eat, but just as I expected, there was none. For no particular reason, a smile crept in into my feature, not the positive kind of smile though, but a smile that shows pity towards the woman of the house, knowing that she's just doing this on purpose to get on my nerves, too bad my nerves has turned into muscles, LoL.
I happened to prepare myself something to eat, with today being weekend, Mr Drew usually return late from his weekly activities, he does spend the weekend out to get himself relaxed, enjoying himself with weekend games, recreational activities, spending time away from his wife, everyone of us knows he needs it, including his wife Mrs Johnson, always nagging him.
With the plate in my palms, I cautiously made my way to the parlor. Last time the occasion was like this too, Mrs Johnson intentionally stood by the door, waiting for me to come close as she intentionally jammed herself with me, my food scattered on the floor, she blamed me that I was careful with everything I do, blamed me and also reported me to Mr Drew saying that I intentionally poured food on her, she forcefully made me clean the stained floor which I already knew that I was to do, and this time, I believe she has something else up her sleeves, I just have to be more watchful to avoid her.
As soon as I opened the door to enter the sitting room, she immediately badged in, this time, I made sure to be distance away from her, disappointing her expectations, she looked me in the eyes and I never took mine away, giving her that poker face look, she stormed out and headed to the kitchen.
Watching whatever movie that was playing on the screen, which she was watching to before trying to play her tricks, Emmanuel and Anya has seem to be following their mom's influence, their Father usually comes back late, so they mostly don't posses much of their Dad's behavior because they aren't usually around him, something I have tried talking to Mr Drew about and he promised to try being available, yet, nothing has changed, it's his fault too.
I was eating quite quicker than I had to because I know what would be happening any time soon, you can't expect Mrs Johnson to give up without putting in more effort to choke you, I can hear her footsteps coming quite quickly, the sounds of her steps sounding out loud on the tiled floor.
“ So you saw me sitting her, yet without permission, you went in into that kitchen, took my food stuff and prepare this sh*t for yourself and you challenging me right now boy?.....”. I'm dumbfounded, it's quite funny how she's trying to play Cinderella stepmother's role on me, with food still stuck in my mouth, I couldn't speak, I had to bite them down first.
“ So I'm speaking to you and you're busy chewing down on my food right?..... She came forward, forcing the plate of food off my hand, I never stopped staring at her, giving her that joker smile, despite burning with rage inside me. 
The sound of the door bell distracted us, she looked at me, then at the door, she repeated those same look again before dropping down my unfinished food on the table as she went and opened the door and did something I never saw coming, something that almost made me burst out of laughter but had to hold back, she started crying.
With Mr Drew coming in through the door, he saw his woman in tears and began questioning for what's the cause, she pointed at me without saying anything much. Yeah, I know that Mr Drew knows what his wife can do, but yet, I am definitely not getting free from this, not when he saw his wife crying.
I have nothing to say, what should I tell him happened?, What should I tell him is making his wife shed tears, Emmanuel and Anya haven't even greeted their Dad, they're just there staring at the scenario, you can see the confusion in their faces too, looks that shows, What is going on?.
Before I knew it, a slap landed on my face, what else should I be expecting if not this reaction from him, no reasonable man will sit back seeing someone making his wife cry, yet, no reasonable man will jump into action without knowing what just happened, but haven asked what happened and I was too confused too provide an answer, now I'm getting the beating.
“ So because I allowed you to stay in my home, you're now trying to ruin me and my household, I went on to make my wife cry after all she's been doing for you.... So because I allowed you to come live with me after your mom wanted to commit suicide, now you're taking advantage of the situation.....”.
This last statement shocked me, it swiped me off my feet and lands my back on the hard floor, this, I never saw coming, this last statement is a stab on my back, Mr Drew has been the only one I relied on in this household, now he just spills out his view of me and the situation, I think my time here is overdue, it's about time to start packing.
