Taming of the TOMBOY!!!! (excerpt) by sunshine hkl (the little red hen read aloud .TXT) 📕

"What!" Laura asked surprised by her answer.

"Yup. Uncle had said that you can't stop this marriage, right? But he didn't say that Jack can't stop this marriage. Now all I have to do is to convince him to stop this marriage. I don't think he is a very cooperative guy but I’m going to make him to agree anyway."

"Jenny what if dad..... "

"He won't find out. Relax."

"But how will you do that without dad finding out?"

"Leave that to me. And you know what? Even if you were not in love with Boris I wouldn't let this marriage happen. This Jack is a total jerk."

"How do you know? You just met him!"

"I just know. Anyway now let's go back to the living room. It's time for some action baby."

Jenny said with an evil grin which made Laura laugh.

"You always manage to make me feel better." She said and added, "I don't know what I'd have done without you."

"Ah come on now don't be such an emo and let's go."

"Okay", Laura smiled.

When they entered the living room Mrs. Dayton smiled at them and asked "Done talking?"

"Yeah." Jenny answered and turned to Jack and smiled at him sweetly.

"Hey Jack, now that you are going to be a family member I'd like to get to know you. I guess by now you already know that I and Laura are very close. So I have to know what kind of person she is going to marry." She teased and then asked, "So can I talk to u in private?"

"Sure. Where do you want to talk?" he asked with his same annoying expression.

"Anywhere except here so that my uncle and aunt wouldn't be able to save you from my ambush." she half-joked.

"Ok let's go."

Jenny turned to her uncle and aunt. "I hope you don't mind that I'm stealing him?"

"Go ahead honey. It's your right. But don't trouble him too much."

"I won’t. Bye" Jenny told them and left with Jack.


...................................


"So where are we going?" Jenny asked.

"In my office."

"Alright. Let's go."

They drove their cars to Jack's office. After they parked their cars, Jack lead Jenny to his office. When they entered to his office all the women who saw Jenny with Jack stared enviously at her.

"Wow ladies no need to feel jealous" Jenny said inwardly.

Jack led her to his cabin. After entering his cabin he offered Jenny to sit down and after she did he also sat down on her opposite.

For a while they just stared at each other, narrowing their eyes as if challenging each other silently.

"Now shoot." said Jack finally breaking the silence.

"You can't marry Laura." Jenny blurted.

Jack's expression didn't change a bit.

"Why?" He asked calmly.

"Because she loves someone else." Jenny replied.

"So?" Jack asked again without any change of his expression.

Jenny got mad and exclaimed "SO YOU STOP THIS MARRIAGE!"

"Why would I do that?"

"Didn't you hear me? SHE LOVES SOMEONE ELSE!"

"So? That's her problem not mine."

Jenny couldn't believe the guts of this guy. She got more mad and yelled at him "SHE IS BEING FORCED INTO THIS MARRIAGE!"

"Well that's also her problem" He said arrogantly.

"Are you even human?" Jenny yelled.

"Are you blind?" replied Jack remaining totally calm.

"You know what? I was right about you. You ARE a jerk. A big jerk."

"Oh. I'm flattered. Thanks for the compliment." Jack mocked.

"That's it!" Jenny stood up from the chair grabbed the collar of Jack's shirt and shouted, "Listen dude. You are gonna stop this marriage and put the blame on yourself and leave Laura alone for the rest of your life or else I'm gonna slice you into pieces!"

"Oh really? I'd really love to see that."

Jenny's face became red with anger and she was opening her mouth to yell at Jack some more when Jack put his hand on her mouth and said - "Hush. Now YOU listen to me. You childish fool! You really think that YOU can order ME Jack Cooper to do something? And You think YOU can harm ME?" He laughed. "I can do whatever I want and you won't be able to do anything to me. Wake up baby this is ME Jack Cooper. Have you got any idea how powerful I am? I can do whatever I want to do with your dear cousin and you can do nothing about it."

Jenny was shaking with anger and slapped his hand from her mouth. Jack just smiled and told Jenny "Well. If you are really so concerned about your sister then I'll give you a chance. I'll do what you want but in a condition."

"And what is that?" Jenny asked.

Jack smiled an evil smile. "I will stop this marriage. But then YOU will have to marry me."

Jenny stood there speechless with her mouth hung open, too astonished to move. A few seconds later when she gain control over her body she screamed "WHAT!".

"You heard me." Jack replied.

"Are you...Are you.... crazy?" she asked stammering with anger.

"Well i'm proposing YOU

! A person has to be crazy to do something like that. So the answer of your question is yes I AM

crazy."

She asked him yelling "Then why are you proposing me?"

"As you have figured out I'm crazy, I have also figured out that you are crazy. So I think we will be a good match you know. With you and me both being crazy, life would be hardly boring", Jack replied grinning.

"You know what? I'll NEVER EVER marry YOU. Not even if I suddenly become desperate to marry someone and you are the only person left single in the whole universe! Not now not then not EVER

!"

"Ok then. You can start celebrating your dear cousins marriage", Jack shrugged.

"NO!!!"

"No? You don't want this to happen? Then you can stop this. All you have to do is marry me. As simple as that."

"YOU CAN'T FORCE ME TO MARRY YOU!!

!"

"No. But I can definitely force your cousin to marry me", he said with an evil grin.

"You... You... BASTARD!! You are gonna pay for this!" she said and stormed out of the room.


................


Jack sat on his chair with a big smile in his face, fully pleased with himself. Although Jenny has left his office being really mad, he knew she will come back and agree to his proposal. She will do anything for Laura's happiness.

Everything has gone just like he thought and planned. When Jenny heard the news of his and Laura's marriage he knew from Jenny's reaction that she wasn't happy about this. And when he figured out that Jenny cared about Laura more than anything and Laura was in love with someone else he was sure that Jenny will come to him and try to convince him to stop this marriage.

Well he was going to stop the marriage anyway when he figured out about Laura's feelings. He wasn't going to force Laura into this marriage and separate two people who are in love. No he wasn't such a bastard. But Jenny doesn't need to know that.

He knew that Jenny will to anything for Laura so he decided to use this to gain Jenny. He smiled. Yes, he was forcing Jenny to marry him but he wasn't feeling too guilty about this. Because he was sure there was no other man in Jenny's life and she has never let anyone into her heart. And she was never going to let HIM into her life in any other way and he wasn't about to let her out of his life. Because though they just met, Jack was already in love with her. And he plan to conquer her heart as well. But to do so he'll have to be in her life. So there wasn't really any other choice. He knew this was not going to be easy. Jenny was a challenge. But then again he loved challenges. And he was determined to make her his. He smiled to himself and picked his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello" said a deep voice.
.
"Hey dad congratulate me. I'm getting married!"

"Congratulation son. So you like Laura huh? I told you that you will like her. She is a very lovely girl." said Mr. Cooper excited.

"She is lovely indeed and yes I do like her. But not enough to marry her. It's her cousin Jenny I'm getting married to."

"But son me and Laura's dad..."

"Dad I'm in LOVE with Jenny."

"Really! Well then you will certainly marry Jenny. Don't worry I'll manage Jeremy. After all he is my best friend."

"Thanks dad."

"You are most welcome son. I'm just happy that someone has finally stolen your heart. This Jenny must be very special." Mr. cooper said excitedly.

"She certainly is dad. She certainly is." Jack said smiling to himself.

Jenny got into her car and started driving. She was fuming with anger so she took out all her frustration on her driving and drove like maniac. After 15 minutes she was home. So she parked her car got out of it and kicked the door shut. Then she entered into the house and went straight into the kitchen still fuming. Mrs. Parker was working in the kitchen. When she saw her daughter she smiled at her and said "Oh, you are home. Hungry?"

Jenny didn't reply. She grabbed a knife and started slicing the vegetables kept in the kitchen counter furiously without noticing what she was doing.

"Wow! Look at you! Working in the kitchen! Sun must have risen in the west!!!" Mrs Parker exclaimed.

Jenny didn't hear it either and continued doing what she was doing.

"That jerk ..... what does he think he is!" Jenny yelled
