Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN THAT '70s SHOW. If I did then I wouldn't be writing this because H/J would be together.

A/N: I haven't written on this site in so long! It's been about 2 years; I forgot the email I used and the password so I just made a new account. It's been snowing a lot here in Chicago so I've been in my house bored and decided to get on my laptop and start typing. And I just adore J/H so this was easy to write. Now this chapter starts off a little dry, it's mostly Jackie alone for the first few paragraphs. So if you get bored and want to skip the beginning you won't hurt my feelings. You can just go to the part where Jackie goes to the café. And every chapter won't be like this I swear. :) Thanks and Enjoy!

Chapter 1: Alone

Rating: Mature

On a park bench in the middle of June, Jackie Burkhart sits alone watching all of the happy people around her. Walking dogs, taking babies out for strolls, jogging, having picnics. People kissing, holding hands, whispering sweet nothings into each others ears. Couples…happy couples, in happy relationships. Something that Jackie unfortunately didn't have. And it made her blood boil to see other people who did.

She shifted and adjusted her dress in attempt to stop the extremely hot stone bench from burning her thighs. Jackie normally would never sit on public benches, simply because so many other people have put their butts on them. But she didn't really have anywhere else to go, she'd been avoiding going to the apartment she shares with Fez, because she's been avoiding seeing Fez. She couldn't go to the Forman's because Steven might be there, and she certainly did not want to see him. And chances were that Donna's probably there with Eric, so she couldn't hang out with her.

So if going to a crowded park and sitting on a disgusting hot bench meant that she didn't have to see Fez or Steven, then that was exactly what she was going to do.

What am I going to do? I broke Fez's heart, Steven hates me, and I barely see Donna anymore, Michael's in Chicago. And Eric, well Eric's just Eric. It's like I don't even have friends anymore.

Deep in her own thoughts, Jackie barely notices that a man has sat down next to her, a stranger, and a pervert. She knows this because she can feel him staring at her breasts.

"Hello." He said sweetly.

"Hi" Jackie said back dryly. She knows his type, the guy who goes to parks to walk his dog he got just to impress women, feeding the ducks, playing with babies or just to stand around and "admire" nature. The type of guy who wants to convince girls that he's sensitive, caring, respectful and wants a serious relationship. When really all he wants is sex. Having no plans of calling or seeing the poor hopeful woman afterwards.

And Jackie certainly was not going to be his next poor hopeful one night stand.

"The park's really beautiful isn't it?" He asked, "Kind of takes your breath away, but I'm sure you're used to seeing beauty every time you look into a mirror."

Jackie tries desperately not to laugh hysterically at his overly lame and cheesy pickup. She instead gives him a tight smile and says "Thank you, but if you'll excuse me I really have to go."

The man can tell that she's not interested and doesn't object to her leaving. As she walks away she can feel his eyes on her again, but this time on her ass.

Jackie rolls her eyes, she's wearing very little makeup, no jewelry and her hair is in a ponytail. But men having been hitting on her since she got to the park.

Of course I can't blame them, I am hot. The hottest girl in this whole park.

Jackie laughs to herself softly, she's changed a lot since she was a teenager in high school but her shallowness would probably never completely go away. She reaches to brush a loose strand of hair from her face and gasps when her hand touches something wet, 'Is that…no….oh god it is. I'm sweating!' Glaring up at the sun and cursing silently to herself, Jackie realizes that she needs to get out of the park. Because Jackie Burkhart did not sweat, not only was sweating gross, but Jackie felt it was a sign of weakness.

She walks out of the park and to a nearby café; she goes there often, she likes it because it's small and cozy. There are big, puffy, comfortable chairs to sit in while she enjoys her beverage. She orders lemonade and sits in her usual chair in the corner of the café next to an unlit fireplace. The clock above it reads 6:27pm. Jackie sighs heavily, 'Just four more hours to kill, then Fez should be in bed for the night.' She pulls a book from her purse and begins to read, she's a few pages into it when she hears someone call her name. She knows who it is but doesn't turn around. She's pissed, she's been wandering around all day just to avoid him. And he found her anyway.

"Jackie?" He said again. "Hello?"

Damn it

"Hi Steven," she said turning around to face him. "What are you doing here?"

"I closed down the record store early, and I have a sweet tooth. So I came in here to see if there's anything good and then I saw you."

"Oh," Jackie replied quietly. "But aren't you losing business by closing so early?"

"Nah, it was dead anyway. Everyone's at home because of the storm." He says,

Jackie gave him a confused look, "What storm?" Then right on cue just like in the movies there's a loud clap of thunder. So loud and violent it startles Jackie, "I didn't know there was going to be a thunder storm tonight." But surely enough when she looked out the window the hot sun was gone and the bright blue sky had turned gray.

Hyde grunts, "That storm, so… how are you getting home?" Jackie shrugs staring out the window, Hyde knows that Jackie is afraid of thunder storms, she's hugely astraphobic . He thinks back to all the nights when they were dating that he spent holding her and comforting her during a storm. And seeing the fear in her eyes makes him want to take her in his arms just like he used to.

"Come on, I'll drive you home before it gets too bad." Hyde says while watching her. He's been out talking to a lot of chicks lately but she's still the most beautiful girl he's laid his eyes on. And it's only been two days since he last saw her. But she looks different, tired and sad. She's not dress up with perfect hair and makeup like usual. She's still gorgeous. Just not all dolled up like she usually is.

Jackie looks away from the window to look at Hyde. 'What is he doing? He's actually being kind of nice.'

"Ok," she says. She doesn't want to get in a car with him but there's absolutely no way she was walking home in that weather.

As they walk outside and get into Hyde's car, Jackie can feel her heart beating more rapidly. Seeing lightning and hearing thunder from inside was one thing. But being outside with it was another. She has no idea why she is so scared of storms, but she is, very, very much.

No rain had started fall when they got into the car, but after a few minutes on the road, it started to pour. The rain made it difficult to see anything. But if there was one thing Jackie could see, it was the bolts of lightning that were tearing through the sky and she could hear the thunder that accompanied it. She felt sick and her hands started to tremble, she could feel Hyde's eyes going back and forth between her and the road.

"Hey Jackie, it's going to be okay." He takes his hand and puts it on top of one of her trembling ones. He can feel her muscles start to relax a little, but only a little. "Jackie I'm just gonna take you to Forman's okay? It's closer than your place, you can stay there until this is over."

"I don't know Steven…."

"Why not? It's not like you have a boyfriend to go home to or a job to get to in the morning." Hyde snickered.

"Yeah, thanks for reminding me." Jackie says back coldly. More thunder and lightning make her tense again. "Ok, whatever. We can go there, just get me someplace safe."

A few minutes later they arrive at the Forman's. Jackie runs into the basement with Hyde not far behind her. Both of them are soaking wet and thanks to that Hyde can see very clearly that Jackie isn't wearing a bra. He missed her breast, how perfectly they always fit in his hands. How hard her nipples would always be. How much she loved it when he touched them and kissed them. The sounds she would make; the best sounds ever. It's been too long since he's heard those sounds.

Snapping out of his thoughts Hyde goes to his room and Jackie follows. He grabs a towel and one of his t-shirts. "Here" he says as he hands them to her.

"Thanks" Jackie replies. She dries her face and hair; she begins to unzip her dress then stops and blushes. " Um, can you turn around?"

"What? Why?"

Jackie blushes even harder, "Because, I don't want you to see me naked Steven!"

Hyde laughs at this, "Jackie, come on. We used to have sex…A LOT, a lot, a lot."

"Steven!" Jackie hisses. "That's enough, and it isn't funny."

"I'm just sayin' Jackie; it's not like I haven't seen you naked before."

"I know Steven, but this is different. We aren't dating anymore. So you don't just get to look at this whenever you want anymore. Sorry." She says mockingly.

Hyde smirks at her, "Yeah?" he says, they haven't talked like this in almost a year.

"Yeah," Jackie says.

"Okay, fine I won't look." Jackie looks at him with doubt. "I promise, look I'll even turn around like you asked."

Hyde turns around; Jackie still doesn't trust him but starts to undress anyway. She slips off her ruined shoes and her dress, now standing in the middle of Hyde's room in nothing but her panties.

Hyde of course had been peeking out of the corner of his eye the whole time, but when she took off her dress, he turned around not realizing what he was doing. He almost forgot how perfect her body was. She was so beautiful. He could feel his blood rushing to his groin just thinking about the things he would love to do to her right then and there.

"STEVEN!" Jackie screamed, snapping him out of his dirty thoughts. "You said you wouldn't look." She covered her breasts and quickly grabbed the shirt and put it on. "You are such a lying pig!"

Instead of saying sorry or making up some excuse, Hyde just kept staring at her. "What?" Jackie said.

"Nothin" Hyde walked closer to her, "It's just I think I almost forgot how beautiful you are Jackie." The pot he smoked and the four beers he had earlier must not have worn off yet. He knew he was saying some things (girly, Forman type things) that he was going to pay for and regret later but right now he couldn't care less, right now all he wanted to do was touch her again.

Jackie looks at him with befuddlement, "Steven," she whispers. "Don't, you can't…. you ca-"The sound of thunder roars through the basement. The storm was picking back up. Jackie jumped at the sound, her heart started beating fast again.

Hyde can see how scared she is and moves even closer to her, "Jackie, it's just a little bit of thunder it's not going to hurt you." He can see her shaking again, he's not sure if it's because she's cold, still scared or both. Hyde puts his arms around her and holds her tight.

Jackie is still tense against him; she doesn't want to be this close to him, but she doesn't say anything. Because it felt good, it felt…right. Maybe it was just because she was scared. 'Yeah, that's all it is. I'm frightened by this storm and just need to feel safe with someone. Not just Steven, anyone, I would feel safe even with that prev from the park right now.'

It had to be the storm; it certainly wasn't because she still had feelings for Hyde. No, any romantic feelings Jackie had for him disappeared after he married Sam.

Hyde looked down at her, "Are you okay?" It was taking everything in his power not to throw her on his cot and have his way with her. Not that she would let him anyway; he knew Jackie still hated him for marrying Sam.

"Yeah, I'm okay….well not really but I will be." Jackie said. They were still in a tight embrace, and she could swear she felt something poking against her thigh. 'Is he….no right? Oh, he is!" Jackie looks up at him and into his eyes. She doesn't remember him changing and taking off his sunglasses, if she had known that took them off she would have never looked at him. When they were together, every time she looked into his beautiful blue eyes she melted. And that's exactly what was happening now.

'No, Jackie.' She thought to herself. 'You can't do this, you can't start falling for him again, and he doesn't love you anymore. Although…. He did just say that I was beautiful. But he's probably high, and besides he hurt me, he doesn't know the pain I suffered after we broke up. He doesn't know what it's like to think someone loves you, just to be left without them, all alone.'

Then she thought of something, it was wrong. And would probably ruin the slight friendship they had left. But her mind was cluttered with so many emotions that she didn't care. Not taking her eyes from his slowly pressed her lips against his.

"Jackie," Hyde says slightly pushing her away, Although he would love to just kiss her all over all night long, he knew he couldn't, she didn't really want to. It was just because of this fucking storm. He was already hard, if he started kissing her he would lose control and he really would take her right there in the basement just like he used to when they were together.

Jackie ignores him and kisses him again, this time with more force. She wraps her arms around his neck and moans into his mouth when she feels him start to kiss her back. And whimpers when his tongue slips into her mouth.

Hyde backs them up to the wall and lifts Jackie against it; she wraps her legs around his waist and moans loudly when his lips leave hers and starts kissing her neck. While his lips attack her neck, one of his hands moves under his t-shirt to grasp her breast. She was making those sounds, those sounds he missed so much. He missed making her make these sounds. He pulls the shirt over her head then moves his lips to her chest taking one of her already hard nipples into his mouth.

"Steven" Jackie moans, "I missed this so much, I missed you. All of this fighting is so stupid; I don't want to do it anymore. I just want to forget it. I just want you." She could feel wetness in between her thighs; she was enjoying this a little more than planned.

Hyde kisses her, "I know doll, I missed you too. But are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes." Jackie says, she isn't looking into his eyes anymore, she can't, or she'll cave. She just needs to do this and get it over with. She takes his hand and guides it to her wetness, she and Steven both moan at the contact.

"Damn you're wet doll."

"Only for you baby." She whispers softly into his ear. She reaches for his pants and undoes them. Hyde takes over and releases his aching erection, desperate to be inside her, he pushes her panties aside and enters her.

Hyde hisses "Fuck" She feels amazing, he can't believe he forgot how tight and warm she was. Way better than any other chick he's been with. So much better than Sam.

Jackie throws her head back and moans loudly, so loud that Hyde had to cover her mouth with his hand. "shhh doll, we can't wake up the Formans."

Jackie nods, still not looking into his eyes. Hyde notices this but he doesn't think much of it. Instead he starts to move inside her, setting a steady pace whispering honeyed words into her ear until they both reached their climaxes.

After making love twice more, Jackie and Hyde lay together exhausted and satisfied in his small cot. Her head on his chest and his arm wrapped around her. It was still raining but the thunder had subsided. Jackie sighed blissfully, a huge smile on her face. But it soon faded when she remembered why she let this happen, all the passion and pleasure almost made her forget what she was doing. And she wasn't going to stop.

Hyde kisses her temple and softly but clearly murmurs, "I love you Jackie."

Jackie raises her head to try and look at him through the dark. "What?" She asks.

"Come on you heard me; don't make me say it again." He says softly, "I meant everything I said earlier. I do miss you….and I don't know what this means, but I don't want to fight anymore either. I know I've been an ass to you lately and I'm sorry, I'm done with that now, I promise."

Jackie continues to stare at him through the dark, not only does she feel guilty but she's more confused now than she was earlier. A big part of her wanted to believe him, but they've done this before. It used to happen all the time, they would get into a fight, "break up", they would say mean things to each other, then later they made love and were back together. And then they did it all over again. And she was sick of it, sick of always being the one getting hurt. Now it was his turn to feel what she's felt too many times.

"I love you too Steven." She finds his lips and kisses him softly, then lays her head back on his chest and listens to his heart beat until she falls asleep.

A few hours later Jackie looks at Hyde's clock radio,4:52am, she's been awake for the past 40 minutes in deep thought. Her head still on Hyde's chest, listening to his steady breathing. She looks up at him and softly touches his face.

'He looks so peaceful, I wonder what he's dreaming about.'

The rain had finally stopped and Jackie was sure that the sun must have started to rise. That meant it was time for her to go.

She lifted Hyde's arm from around her, and slowly got up, careful not to wake him. She puts on her dress and shoes, she can't find her panties. 'Oh well,' she starts walking out of his room, then pauses and turns around and walks back to him. She bends down to give him a soft kiss on his cheek.

"I'm sorry too." She whispers faintly. She then walks out of the Forman's basement leaving him alone.
