Stuck in you

Jack had asked Michael to take his cat back.

Michael had mentioned how the cat would keep scratching the door while screaming at midnight.

He had been on the verge of breaking down. Jack had asked him why he had decided to raise a cat. Michael had told him that the cat was a woman's and he was courting her.

She had been out of town on a business trip, so Michael had offered to take care of the cat for her.

Jack had chuckled at his idiotic friend's plight.

Rachel burst out in laughter after hearing Jack's comment. She was laughing so heartily that he could not help but stare at how beautiful she looked when she was laughing.

"Is it so funny?" Jack asked.

Rachel imagined how furious Michael got every time the cat would scratch at his door while he was peacefully drifting into sleep.

"No, it's not. I think the cat is really cute," she said while she was ironically trying to hide her laughter.

"Wait a minute. Rachel, do you like cats?" Jack interrupted.

Of course, Rachel didn't particularly like cats.

She just said that because of how Jack had been describing the cat. But she never said that she had no interest in raising pets.

She only said that cats were cute because she wanted to see how Jack would react. It was the perfect setup to trick him and see how far he would go.

Rachel tilted her head and acted like she was thinking about it. She even made the "Hmm" sound, to make it more believable.

"Rachel, please don't tell me you like cats too," said Jack.

"Maybe, what about you?"

Jack's smile immediately turned into a frown. When it dawned on him that Rachel might really like the furry little creature, he felt distressed.

He had zero interest in pets, let alone raising them. He tried to play it cool so Rachel wouldn't notice that he was worried.

Albeit reluctantly, he told her, "If you want, maybe we can get one."

Rachel was surprised. She didn't realize her plan would go this well. Who knew that she could easily manipulate Jack like this? "Do you really mean that?"

Jack gave up. His feelings for Rachel were stronger than his convictions. If she was truly adamant in having one of these things, he would force himself to endure having one around the house. Besides, it was normal for girls to like soft and furry little creatures.

"Yes, I mean it," he conceded. Jack sighed as soon as he said that, but Rachel would be so happy, and he thought it was worth it.

However, he didn't expect that Rachel would burst into laughter again. "You don't want to raise a cat! It's written all over your face, Jack. Why would you debase yourself like that?"
