I remembered how awkward this moment felt  when Miss Tris hopped down from the car.

Sincerely I felt bad and I just stare from my feet to the rear mirror and back to my feet again trying to avoid Mr Philips gaze before he barks at me and asks me to come down

What if he just asks me to come down from the car too, what would I do  where would I go.......
But I wish he did because I could have escaped from him earlier

He turned fully to look at me

  "Hey Angel.... Don't be scared, there's nothing to be afraid of.. she's just being really annoying... It happens ok "

Those words..... Though might sound like concern but when you hear a man tell you there's nothing to be afraid of.. I suggest you run because it means there's a lot to be scared of

"Hey..look at me,  telling you not to worry.. I am here, I will take good care of you. I promise, Angel"

I wanted to remind him that my name's not angel but I ended up just nodding my head

"Now we go to a nice eatery and eat really delicious food.... Do you like ice cream "

I nodded...

"How about chicken wings "

I smiled and gently answered yes... This changes Alot.  I have never had this kind of food he was referring to,

The ice cream that they brought for us in the foster care was barely enough to go round so we the older ones had to suffer for it and you can imagine how mouth watering and yummy it looked...

So what if Miss Tris got angry and left, why should she be angry that I get to eat all the wonderful things that I have never tasted in my life

Isn't she suppose to be my mom and taking care of me but she doesn't seem to care.. I'm a little bit disappointed in her, she was so rude with him just because he made a mistake with my name

Angel is not a bad name, infact it is very beautiful.. More beautiful than my old ugly name Agnes

Until that day I have always been very proud of my name.... Always loved my name but today I just preferred being called Angel than Agnes..

We stopped at a really big and fine building, he helped me with the door and I smiled at the gesture

Am actually grateful that I wore my favorite dress, I would have looked out of place..

We sat at a table and he ordered all sort of delicacies
I wanted to melt in my chair and I was taken by all the things on the table

I loved everything.. It looked like heaven, and I dive into it like an hungry lion and ate to my satisfaction
I kept eating until my stomach couldn't give way... 

After having more than enough, I asked to use the rest room because I was too full,

My stomach tumble like thunder in my stomach and I was sweating like crazy .. By the time I was done I was exhausted.. I couldn't even walk well

I walked out of the restroom to the dinning area and he was not at the table... I moved outside and he was no where to be found 

I got really scared....
What if....
What if he left me here
What if he doesn't want me in his home anymore
What if all this was a test to see how well I do around fancy food
Oh no
I must have disappointed him
I ate like crazy and had to visit the toilet more than three times ...

My heart raced in my chest of the fear of being left alone.. I asked  the security guard where he was and he said he didn't know

Unknown to me..
Signs kept coming but I was too dumb, too small, too foolish to realize it

I ran out of the eatery to where our car was parked and there he was with his back against the car and smoke from his mouth

I moved closer to realize he was smoking but I was just glad that he was still here and he didn't leave me, I ran into his arms

   "I thought you left... I thought you left me here "

"No sweetheart, I could never leave you Angel.. You are now my responsibility am never going to leave you "

I smiled reassurred
Smiling like a fool that I have met the most amazing person in the world and I was so lucky.....

i laugh at my foolishness
