Ok, here is a follow on to challenges. I never thought I'd do one but I'm bored and just happened to read it again and felt like adding to it.
They all sat around the board room table, uncomfortable as Jack and Gwen stared each other out. Gwen was fuming. He always did this to her. Started off an argument, make her get aggravated and annoyed then stare at her with those dashingly gorgeous, sexy, electric blue eyes. Snap out of it Gwen. Just don't look. Turn away. No. Then he'll think he's won. Say something, you look like a prick. Anything. Shit, nothing. Think of a comeback! Ah crap, now he's turned your brains to mush.
"Well? PC Cooper. You gunna out rule that then. You got any better ideas, or are you just gunna stand there staring at me?" Jack said rather smugly. "Now I know i'm dashingly handsome Gwen but really there's no need" He smirked.
That made Gwen's blood boil.
"Actually Jack yes I have got a better idea. How about Ianto, Owen take left. Me and Tosh take right, and you can stay here on your own. After all we don't need your help. We managed just fine without you for 3 months previous. Am I right?" Gwen said looking at her other team members. They all nodded their heads at her. She smirked at Jack, with sheer pleasure that they had taken her side.
"So how about that plan then?" She asked everyone. They all nodded again and started to stand up.
"H-hold on! You may have managed for a little while without me" He turned to all his team giving them a look that said 'sit down now or you'll all get a pay cut'. "But i'm still the boss. Not Gwen. So even if Gwen is having one of her moments, you still follow my orders. Lucky for you Gwen, as long as Tosh takes her smaller equipment with her no one will need to stay here. And as the left side will be more heavily guarded, which you obviously didn't know because you were too bust arguing, Tosh can help Owen and Ianto out, and we'll take the right. Ok? Right NOW everyone can go." Jack said in a tone that clearly stated that that was the last of it. They all got up and went to get things ready.
"Gwen, A word" He said in a totally formal, and commanding tone. This of course didn't shake Gwen at all and she walked confidently round the other side of the table towards Jack.
"What the hell was that?" He asked her in an aggressive tone that he didn't even realise her was using. Gwen looked rather shocked at first.
"What'd you mean. You're the one who starts the arguments."
"I'm the boss, I'm allowed2 He said as if that settled it. Gwen let out a sarcastic laugh.
"So much for seeing me as your equal then." Jack turned to look at her, his expressions softening instantly at seeing her slight vulnerable look. She realised and quickly masked it over with a determined look.
"I do. You know what I mean" Jack tried reasoning.
"Not really. Tell me Jack can you try and get through one day without starting an argument with me2 Gwen pleaded. She had become quickly tired of this facade with him.
"More challenges eh?" He smiled slightly. Gwen smiled slightly.
"I thought you liked being challenged?" She pushed.
"I do" He grinned "I'll try" he stated, referring to her latest 'challenge'. "I'm still working on the other one you set me though" He smirked. With that he left to go and grab his greatcoat, leaving a dumb folded Gwen behind. So he really was going to fight for her. Gwen let the smile creep onto her face before realising. Shit. This trip is gunna be awkward.
Well what'd you think? Please let me know. If I get any good feedback I'll think about carrying on doing some more. Don't worry though, I'll still concentrate on Their Child?. Please review. Much love xx
