A loud banging noise woke me up at the earliest of early hours. I shot up in my bed and groaned as it only got louder and louder.

A light knock on my door sounded before a very perplexed looking Daniel walked in.

"It's my mother," he said in a panicky state. "Quick! Get up!"

"What?"

"Get up?"

"Why? You go deal with her while I sleep."

"You don't know my mother. She doesn't want to accept that this marriage is real so she'll do everything to prove that she is not wrong. I know for a fact that she will check my room to see if we're sleeping together."

"That sounds creepy," I groaned as I tried to pull the blanket over my head.

Daniel wasn't having any of it though. He somehow picked me up and gently put me down on the floor before fixing my bed at lightning speed and making it looked untouched. He then proceeded to pick up all of my belongings before pulling me to my feet and dragging me to his room.

"Strip," he ordered as he threw my belongings on to his floor.

"What?"

"Strip!" he turned his back on me so I could do as he said. "Then go underneath the sheets. This has to look as believable as possible."

I was too tired to question any further, so I did as he said before plopping myself underneath his blankets. The banging on the door got louder, making me groan as I closed my eyes and tried my hardest to sleep in the middle of all this craziness.

After a while, the banging stopped but loud footsteps sounded instead.

"How can she sleep when her mother-in-law is here for a visit?" I heard my new mother-in-law whine at her son. "How can she be so disrespectful?"

"It's 4AM," Daniel groaned, "if you want to visit come at a proper hour."

"Wake her up," she ignored her son.

"Ma, let her sleep!"

"If you don't wake her up, I will."

I didn't hear anything else leave their mouths but I did hear heavy footsteps climb up the stairs. And just as Daniel had said, his mother stepped right into the room and gasped, as if she was surprised to see me there.

I felt a little poke on my bare shoulder, making me groan.

"Wake up," she said with another poke. "It's this late, how are you still asleep?"

I began to open my eyes but apparently I was too slow for my dear mother-in-law because the next thing she did made me open my eyes wide and jump up in the bed without another thought. She pulled the blanket off me, exposing my naked body to her and a her very shocked looking son. The freezing cold morning air hit my bare body making me gasp out loud.

I gaped at Daniel who was staring back at me with his eyes wide. He turned to his mother and took the blanket out of her hands before awkwardly placing it back on me. He then turned to his mother and sighed.

"This is unacceptable, mother," he said in a firm tone. "You can't just show up at my house at this time. You're making my wife uncomfortable and it's making me unhappy."

Her faced dropped at his words. She walked up to her son and pouted before sending me a glare.

"I just wanted to go for a morning jog with my new daughter-in-law. I thought we could bond over it."
