Taming Of The TOMBOY!!!!

Chapter 8

When Jenny got out of the bathroom she didn't see Jack anywhere. She then headed for the stairs and as soon as she got downstairs she got hit with a rich aroma of delicious foods which immediately brought water into her mouth. She followed the smell which led her into the kitchen where she saw jack cooking. When Jack saw her he smiled at her and asked "Hungry?”

Jenny ignored the question and asked with a surprised tone, "You cook?”

“Yeah. I love to cook. In fact it's one of my favorite hobbies.”

“Really?!”

“Yeah. Why are you so surprised?”

“Umm…It's just. Well, its just you don't look like someone who has got any knowledge in cooking." she shrugged.

“Well it's a good thing that I do or otherwise we both would be starving since you definitely don't have any idea about cooking," he said smirking.

“How do you know that?!” she asked him surprised.

“Your mom told me.”

“What!", she fumed, "Alright. What else did my mom tell you about me?”

“A lot of things you know. What you like. What you dislike. Your habits like how you drive like a maniac when you get mad. And how you never put your things on the right places and then how you freak out when you can’t find them. And how you forget to eat or sleep while reading a book which you do a lot since you are practically a book addict. She also told me some of your childhood stories and some secrets about you. And many other things you know. She is a very sweet and friendly person.”

“My mom told you all this?", she fumed in anger. “I don't believe it! How could she? She knew I would hate it. How could she tell my whole life history to a mere stranger!”

“She didn't tell them to any stranger. She was telling the stories to her daughter's future husband.”

“So? She KNEW that I hate you. She KNEW I was marrying you only because of Laura. She KNEW that you FORCED me into this marriage. And she bloody KNEW that I don't like outsiders like you to know anything about my personal life. My personal life is not a freaking open diary that anyone can come and read it. And yet she tells you everything about me. I will never ever forgive her for that. And never in my life will I share any of my secrets with her. NEVER.”

“Well, that's too bad. I really like your mother. As I said she is really sweet. But if you won't talk to her anymore then that's okay. I'll take care of her. I'll share my secrets with her. And she will be my best friend like she was yours. And she will love me like she loves you. And she will be in my team we will have a lot's of fun like you two used to have." he said smiling.

“DON'T YOU DARE!!!” she burst in anger. “Don't you dare to try to snatch my mom from me. She is MY MOM. MY. And she will never ever join your team. She will never ever choose YOU. And she will never ever leave my side. She is my mom and my best friend and she will always be only my best friend. So you better stay away from her.”

“Alright.”Jack threw his hands in the air in surrender hiding a smile. "But weren't you just saying how you will never forgive her and never talk to her? So now, do you forgive her?”

“Of course I forgive her. She is my mother. I can't stay mad at her for a long time even if I want to. And I will die if I will stop talking to her.”

“So you are not mad at her anymore?", he asked still trying his best not to laugh.

“No, I'm still mad at her. It won't last long though. As I said I can't be mad at her for a long time no matter what. And besides, I've got YOU to deal with. It's really hard for someone to get mad at anyone else when they are living with a creature like you.”

“Did I ever tell you that you look really cute when you are mad and every time you curse me it feels like you are giving me a compliment?" Jack asked her giving her a warm smile. Jenny just gaped at him with her mouth open. "Anyway. Breakfast is ready. So sit down and I'll serve it to you.”

“No," Jenny said stubbornly.

“No? You don't want me to serve you breakfast? Do you want to serve yourself?”

“I don't want to eat the things you made.”

“Why? What's wrong with them? Don't you like them? But according to your mom, those are your favorites.”

“I don't believe it! My mom even told you what I like to eat! Is there anything left which my mom didn't tell you about me? Anyway, I won't eat those because you made them. And I won't eat anything which is made by you.”

"Look at you! Here I am making a special breakfast for you with so much love and there you are hurting my feelings by denying eating them.”

Jenny rolled her eyes and said. “Whatever. I'm not gonna eat those and that’s final. So you can now stop being overdramatic.”

“Then what will you do? Starve to death?”

“I’ll make my own breakfast” she announced proudly.

“Really?” he asked with an amused look stifling a laugh.

“What? Just because I never cooked doesn't mean that I can't cook ever. I will start cooking from now on.”

“Please, don't do that.”

“Why?”

“Your mom told me what happened to her kitchen when once you tried to cook something when you got mad at her and refused to eat her cooking. I seriously don’t want that disaster to happen to my kitchen.” He said now trying his best to not to burst into laughter.

Jenny turned red in embarrassment and muttered with an angry sigh “mom!”. Then she looked at Jack and told with a determined voice “Nothing like that will happen here. And even if I do make any disaster you won’t have to worry about it. I’ll take care of my own mess. Now shut up and let me do my work.”

“Best of luck with that,” Jack said smirking.

For the next half an hour Jenny tried to cook with all her effort but failed miserably. She didn't know a thing about cooking. She was starving to death and Jack was eating in front of her bragging repeatedly about how delicious the food was which made her stomach rumble. The mouthwatering aroma of his food wasn’t helping the situation either. Finally, she gave up and said “Forget it. I’ll just grab something from any nearby cafe.” Then she started cleaning the mess she made.

“What? Done cooking?” Jack smirked at her.

She didn’t answer him and continued doing her work. When she was finished with her cleaning she started to leave the kitchen but Jack grabbed her hand. “Where are you going?”

“To buy my breakfast.”

“You are not going anywhere.”

“Yes. I am.”

“No, you are not. Sit down .”

“No, I won’t.”

“Enough of your dramas” he then picked her up and sat her down on the chair and started trying to feed her. “Come on eat. Open your mouth.” But Jenny shook her head. “Jenny stop it and open your mouth.” But Jenny continued to shake her head. “Jenny if you don't open your mouth right now then I’ll start kissing you and I’ll keep kissing you for the next one hour. So if you don't open your mouth and eat your breakfast right now then it would mean that you want to be kissed by me.” This made Jenny immediately open her mouth and jack started feeding her breakfast. “Good girl,” he said. “Bastard” she fumed. “Thank you” he smiled.

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

Jenny flipped through the channels on the television furiously as she was still mad at Jack. How dare he treat her like that? How dare he threaten her! HER! No one has ever dared to threaten her. No one ever gives her orders. And no one EVER makes her obey them. She was the one who threatens people when needed. She was the one who gives the orders never the one who gets them. She was used to getting things done her way. She always got what she wanted and nobody can ever make her do things against her will. And here Jack was forcing one after one thing on her and was actually getting things done his way. She will have to stop this! She is going to stop this! Her knuckles got white for gripping the remote too tight. She was still fuming over her thoughts when she suddenly felt Jack's arm around her shoulder. Immediately she was drawn from her thoughts and slapped his hands away furiously. Jack gave her a devastating grin and said "Oh come on honey. Still mad at me?" She didn't answer him and got as far away from him as the couch would allow her to and then stared at the TV. Jack just grinned and moved closer to her and put his arms around her shoulders again. She slapped his hand away again and this time she slapped hard. Jack's grin didn't fall a bit and he again put his arm around his shoulder and this time he pulled her to his chest. This crossed the line for Jenny so she pushed him forcefully from her and jumped on her feet. "What's your problem jerk?" she hissed.

"Finally." he sighed and smiled. "I don't feel complete until I hear the compliments like jerk and bastard and moron from your mouth. It makes my day when you call me those. I'm so glad that you are finally over with your silent treatment."

Jenny just stood fuming at a loss for words. She had no idea what to do with him. Her breathing was heavy with anger.

"Awwwwww. You look so adorable when you are this mad." Jack said with a face of awe.

Jenny just gaped at him becoming redder.

"Ah come on now. Don't tempt me like that. You are so irresistible when you are like this."

Again Jenny didn't say anything and just narrowed her eyes at him.

"What? You are back to giving me the silent treatment?" Jack asked.

Jenny frowned as if thinking of something. And then suddenly she smiled a crooked smile at him. "This irritates you, doesn't it? My silent treatment irritates you. Great. Then that's what you are getting from me from now on."

"We'll see how long you can do this," Jack said with a determined voice.

She smiled a winning smile and sat down on the sofa beaming. Finally, she has managed to finda way to irritate Jack. All she has to do is ignore him completely. She knows this wasn't going to be easy. He will try his best to tempt her, to make her response. He will go to any length to do it. But she was Jenny. Once she set her mind on doing something then no one can stop her from that. And now she has set his mind to ignore him to resist all his attempts. And no matter what Jack does now he will get no response from her. This is going to drive him crazy. And this is going to be total fun to watch that. She smiled herself finally satisfied with herself for the first time after her marriage to Jack.

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

Jack was feeling like banging his head on the wall. For the past three hours, he had been trying to get Jenny to respond to him and he had been failing miserably. He had tried to tease her, tried to make her mad at him. But that didn't work. She hadn't even averted her eyes from the TV or didn't even had even a little change on her expression. Then she snatched the remote from her hand and changed into a sports channel which he knew from her mother she despised most. But her expression didn't change a bit and she continued to look at the TV with the same interest that was on her eye at the previous program. She all but ignored him as if he didn't do anything. As if he didn't exist. Then he switched off the TV but she continued to stare at the blank space as if nothing had happened. Then he tried his previous scheme. He wrapped his right arm around her shoulders but even that didn't get a response from her. She didn't slap away his hands from her this time. Then he pulled her closer to him and hugged her tightly and stroke her hair. No response. It was as if she was a robot. He sighed a frustrated sigh. He totally hates it. This silence from her was killing him. Then Jenny grabbed her cell phone and started playing games on it as if nothing bothered her. Jack looked at her incredulously at a loss of thoughts, snatched the phone from her hand and then smashed it on the floor. She didn't even flinch and started examining her nails with her full concentration. By that time Jack was desperate to get any kind of response from her. Any kind! She can slap him, punch him, kick him any kind of reaction will make him happy. He can bear anything from her but the silence. So he pinned her on the couch and climbed on top of her. No response. Then he kissed her fiercely. No response. Then he bit onto her lips. No response. Then he plunged his tongue into her mouth and felt her stiffen. But still no response. She neither tried to stop him nor tried to encourage him. She just laid there. "Fine then," he said sitting up on top of her. With a swift movement, he removed his shirt and saw Jenny's eyes widened. He grinned at her and laid again on top of her. He then started kissing her more fiercely and moved his hands all over her body passionately. This time he felt her struggle but he didn't stop. He smiled against her lips, pleased for finally getting a response from her. No matter what it was. Then he plunged his hand into her shirt and started caressing her breasts while keep kissing her. He felt her struggle harder to break free. He then squeezed her breasts lightly over her bra and started to remove the bra when she pushed him with all her force. But he held on his place just to show her that he could. With a final passionate kiss on her lips, he pulled away only a little so that he could see her face. She was gasping for breath. Her lips swollen from his kisses, her face red from anger and her eyes glaring at him. He grinned at her. "That's what you get for not responding to your husband," he said and then kissed her nose and pulled away from her completely and sat at the corner of the couch. She also sat up fuming and looked at him with a look that was enough to kill someone. "You bastard! You pervert jerk! You monster! You animal, you...."

"Ah. Go on. It feels so good." he said smiling.

"How dare you do it? I'm gonna kill you for that." she said punching on his shoulder furiously. He just smiled and watched her with clear admiration on his eyes. That made her more furious and she punched him harder. He still had this stupid grin on his face. "Why the hell are you grinning? What's so funny about me punching you? Or do you really enjoy getting beat up?"

"I enjoy every single thing about you except your silence," he said softly and gazed intensely into her eyes. Jenny was totally off balanced when he did that. She felt that there was something in his voice when he said that. Something in the way he was looking at her. Something that was totally unknown to her. Something that looked both terrifying and exciting. And then with a start, she averted her eyes from his and ran upstairs. She entered their room and stared out of the window. She was disturbed by the strange feeling she just had. Then she shook her head and took a deep breath to clear her mind and get back to being rational. Eventually, it worked and she remembered what Jack had done on the couch. Then she got mad again. It wasn't only Jack she was mad at. NO. She was also mad at herself. Actually, she was confused at whom she was madder. At Jack for doing that to her or at herself for enjoying him doing that and wanting more?
