Taming Of The TOMBOY!!!!

Chapter 4

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

"You heard me," Jack replied nonchalantly.

"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 to your question is yes I am crazy."

She asked him yelling "Then why the hell are you proposing to 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 even if someone points a gun on my head and the only way to stop him from pulling the trigger is to marry you! Not now not then not ever!"

"Ok then. You can start celebrating your cousin's 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. As far as I know, your uncle is very farm when it comes to keeping his promises, isn't he?" 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 on his face; completely satisfied 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 cancel this marriage. Well, he was going to cancel it anyway when he found out Laura's feelings. He wasn't going to force Laura into marrying him and separate two people in love. No, he wasn't such a bastard. But Jenny didn't need to know that!

He knew that Jenny will do anything for Laura so he decided to use this to gain Jenny. He smiled, yes he was indeed forcing Jenny to marry him but he wasn't feeling much guilt about that. 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 or any other man into her life in any other way and he wasn't about to let her out of his life. Because though they've just met, Jack was already in love with her. And he plans 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 had always loved challenges. And he was determined to make her his. He smiled to himself and picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello" came from 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 I and Laura's dad..."

"Dad I'm in love with Jenny."

"Really! Well, then you will certainly marry her. 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 a maniac. After 15 minutes she was home. So she parked her car got out of it and kicked the door shut. Then she entered 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 to herself. "I will.. I will.... kill him. I will rip his head of his shoulder, I will break his legs, I will break all his teeth so that he couldn't show me his stupid grin ever. I will make his life hell! I will make him feel sorry that he was ever born!!!"

"Well, that's too bad. Because all I want to do to him is give him a big hug." Mrs. Parker said smiling.

Jenny came to reality and looked at her mother surprised. "What! What are you talking about?"

Mrs. Parker pointed down to jenny's hands grinning. "Well look what has he made you do!"

Jenny looked down and noticed for the first time what she has done. She has cut all the vegetables into perfect pieces! She! Jenny! Who doesn't even know how to hold a knife properly! She! Jenny! Who has never done any kitchen stuff! Who gets sick even at the idea of cooking!

"Wow, Jenny. You are really very useful when you are mad. I'll have to try it on you very often", Mrs. Parker said smirking, "Whoever this "he" is, He must be something."

"Oh he is something alright," Jenny said sarcastically. "I will tell you what he is. He is a Bastard! A jerk! A ......a....... I can't even find enough words to curse him. No word is bad enough to describe him!" Jenny fumed.

"Really. What has he done to deserve so much hatred?"

"He is trying to FORCE me to MARRY him!"

"He is trying to what!" Mrs. Parker asked with astonishment. And then burst into laughter.

"Mom! Someone is trying to force your only daughter to marry him and you are laughing!"

"Sorry dear. It's just.......... well it's just hard to imagine that someone is trying to force you into anything let alone into marriage!" Mrs. Parker said stifling a laugh. "Who is he anyway?"

Jenny explained to her mother everything about what happened at Laura's house and then in Jack's office.

"Hmm...." Mrs. Parker said, "about time someone gathers the courage to propose to you."

"Mom he hasn't actually proposed me. He is trying to force me into this marriage and I will never ever give in!"

"As if you would have given in if he hadn't forced you and just politely asked you to marry him. Come on Jenny. I know you. You have sent every single boy running in the opposite direction who has as much even looked at you in a romantic way."

"And I will send him running in the opposite direction too!"

"I doubt that. This guy has guts. I must tell you that I'm already impressed with him."

"YOU ARE WHAT!!!! How could you? He is a........" Jenny started yelling when the phone rang. Mrs. Parker left the kitchen to pick the phone. After a few seconds, she called, "Jenny it's for you. It's Laura."

"God! What am I going to say to her?" Jenny asked herself, went into the living room and took the receiver from her mother's hand nervously.

"Hello." she said

"Hello, Jenny" Laura's voice was hopeful. "What did he say? Did he agree? Will he stop the marriage? "Laura asked hopefully.

"Umm.... well no I mean yeas. I mean....." Jenny hesitated.

"He didn't agree right?" Laura's voice dropped. "I will have to marry him right? There's nothing else to do. Oh God! What will I say to Boris?" Laura choked.

Hearing this Laura's heart sank. She said quickly "No, no! This won't happen. He has agreed to stop the marriage. I was just kidding."

"Really?" Laura screamed happily. "I don't believe this! You are sure about it?"

"Yes, I'm sure. I promised you, remember?" Jenny said affectionately.

"Oh thank you. Thank you so much. You saved my life! I don't know what to say. I......I....." Laura started crying with happiness.

"Hush Laura it's okay. Relax. Everything is Ok now right? So be happy and stop crying."

"Kayyyy," Laura said happily.

"Umm Laura, can you give me Jack's number?"

"Sure. But why do you want his number?"

"Ah just wanted to say him thanks"

"Oh okay. Here is his number."

Jenny wrote down the number then talk to Laura some more and then they bid each other.

Jenny put the receiver back. "So Mr. Jack Cooper. You wanted to marry me, right? Fine. Then you will marry me. And I will make your life hell." Jenny said to herself and picked up the receiver and dialed Jack's number.

"Hello."

"Hello, Jack. This is Jenny. I'm ready to marry you. So be prepared because soon you are going to wish that you were dead." Jenny said and then cut the lone.

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

Jack put the receiver back on its cradle and smiled hugely. "You be prepared my little tomboy," he thought to himself "because soon you are going to be TAMED."
