All Chapters of STRANGER IN MY BED: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

How long have I been sleeping? Seems like a very long time. The room is getting very dark now and very cold because I haven't closed the curtains. The winter wind was blowing hard which made me wake up from the cold. I've been sleeping since six o'clock in the evening from exhaustion and boredom. There was nothing I could do after I finished dinner with my mother-in-law at five o'clock. It was indeed a very early dinner because tonight my mother-in-law has an event to attend at her friend's house. When my mother-in-law came home and got out of the limousine that picked her up, and walked into the house, I was terrified to meet my mother-in-law in the living room. He just got home around one o'clock in the afternoon. When I heard the sound of the car engine roaring in the front yard, I couldn't stop praying because I was too afraid of my mother-in-law's reaction when she saw me. I thought my mother-in-law must be very ashamed and angry about what I had done at church.

"Hi mom, I'm fine here." I was just getting out of the bathroom when mom called. I've seen it three times and this is the fourth time mom has called me tonight. But I really don't know if my cell phone has been ringing since earlier because I was busy enjoying soaking in the hot water with the liquid soap that smells of spring flowers which is very fragrant. I bought it at one of the souvenir shops I found in Old Town. And now I feel satisfied because the floral fragrance is so soothing and very comfortable on my skin. "I had just finished showering. This day is very exhausting. We were walking around Old Town when it was snowing hard.” I lay on the bed with a bathrobe wrapped around me and a towel over my head to dry my wet hair while listening to my mother talk about things. “Looks like you enjoyed your time with Kane well. The cold air there will add to the romantic atmosphere between you. Are you two lying on the bed to warm each other up?”

Two hours later I was still in Kane's room. Sitting quietly on the white sofa in the corner of Kane's room, I was busy observing Kane's peacefully sleeping face. That guy was really weird. He could be calmer and cuter when he was asleep like that. Two hours ago he was still pissing me off with his whining and noisy babbling. Like a baby with a fever and fussy, he kept complaining about his itchy nose, his eyes starting to get watery, and his body getting so cold even though I had the heater on max mode that I was sweating. But now look at that noisy man, he has turned very calm after taking the cold medicine I gave him and is fast asleep like a baby wrapped in a blanket. I walked slowly to his bed, trying to make as little noise as possible in his very quiet room so I wouldn't disturb his deep sleep. He was so handsome when he was sleeping, no doubt about it. My body bent over him, observing the movement of his caught breath and then placed my palm on his forehead to take hi

"What are we going to do after this?" That's the fifth question I've asked Kane today. He was probably tired of hearing the same questions from me and this time chose to ignore me. I'm really bored. There's nothing we can do in these conditions. The snow was falling harder and harder outside. When I watched the morning news on tv an hour ago the news anchor told me about the possibility that today's blizzard would only stop at night. Everyone is advised not to leave the house unless there is an urgent need. The local government made an announcement asking shop owners to close immediately as the storm would continue to worsen into the evening. Automatically there is no activity in the middle of the city. This city became like a dead city that was very quiet. Even the hotel staff are not in complete formation. The cooker told us when we were about to order breakfast that he was taking longer to deliver the breakfast due to a large number of orders from visitors, while four of

Ughh.. It's tiring. What an annoying man! I had to unpack up all our stuff, while he actually enjoyed his time off by swimming in the backyard. He thinks I'm a servant here? Huh, that really sucks. I didn't stop grumbling while cleaning this house. I don't clean all these rooms in this house of course since this house is too big to handle on my own. But at least I need to clean the room that will become our room and the kitchen. Those are mandatory places on my list to clean. The room we are going to be in is very messy. I need to do a lot of things to beautify this room. Now in my hands I have collected a lot of cardboard and plastic waste that I found in this house. Kane had bought some furniture before and it had a lot of cardboard and plastic that I needed to throw away after I took it apart. “Kane, where's the trash can? I want to throw all of this away.” I screamed by the pool while waiting for him to emerge from the water. I looked up and saw Kane had
