"Eric!" Donna gasped, opening the small package she just received from him. "Oh my God! It's beautiful!"
Foreman smiled at the look on his girlfriends face as she held up the gold bracelet with her name inscription on it. "Hey, yah know. Anything for you, Donna."
The redhead gazed at the jewelry on her wrist, admiring it before she planted a kiss on Eric's cheek. "You know what this means, right?"
Eric's eyebrows raised, "Oh I think I have a pretty good guess." Seconds later the two were out the door and on their way to the Pinciotti's home.
Hyde flopped down on the couch, scowling at the TV. It was like Donna and Eric didn't even see him there! They just went on with their lovey dovey crapola that had lately been really getting on his nerves. Couples, what a load of crock.
As he stretched his legs out so that his heels were resting on the table, this was slowly becoming his favorite relaxing position, the door reopened. Hyde looked up and groaned, for at the moment Jackie decided to walk inside.
"Damn it." Hyde muttered under his breath.
"Where's Donna?"
Hyde glanced up again, "She took off with Foreman."
Jackie humphed and plopped down on the couch's middle cushion. Hyde sighed, too comfortable to move away, and focused on the TV. Some news report was playing, so he flicked the channels, landing on a 'Three's Company' rerun.
The perky brunette seemed to have lost her perk as she would look from Jack Tripper to Steven Hyde, dramatically sigh, and then turn back to the show. Mentally Hyde groaned, this was the absolute last thing he wanted to be doing.
"Eric bought Donna another gift," the teen announces, playing with a lock of her own hair.
"Mhm." Hyde answer, praying that she would get up and walk out. "Yeah, Foreman's pretty whipped alright."
Jackie twisted her hair around her finger, let it go, then started again before answering, "She's lucky."
Hyde's head snapped to look at her. What? Jackie Berkhart, Point Place's diamond diva, thought Donna was lucky because Foreman bought her some sappy wrist thingy! Puh-leeze.
He didn't want to continue the conversation, the whole thing bothered him actually. Hyde wasn't good with relationships or romance. And Jackie wasn't someone he'd wanted to talk to. But he did"Why's that"
Jackie shrugged, not taking her eyes off the TV. "Valentine's Day is in three days."
"So?"
"So have you noticed that everyday this week Donna has gotten something from Eric?"
Searching his memory for the moments that he had to sit and witness Donna's gleeful face as Foreman showed up with a bouquet of flowers in hand or a wrapped package, Hyde nodded. "Yeah, so what?"
She sighed, "Michael never did anything like that when we were together. It's all so romantic."
Hyde rolled his eyes. "You're talkin' about Kelso here, Jackie. The guy isn't exactly Mr. Lover."
"Oh, what? And like you are?" She tested.
Hyde shifted in his seat. "Never said I was." He was uncomfortable, nervous actually. There was a hot chick sitting next to him just begging for him to do something to or for her.
And Jackie sensed his feelings. She looked over at him a sly glint in her eyes. "You never said you weren't either."
