A/N: Chapter 3! I have one more chapter (A smutty one) and I think that after that This story will be done. :) I have another idea for a 70's show fan fic but i dont know yet.
Hyde woke up with his head pounding. He was fully clothed and didn't remember how he had gotten home. He looked at the clock sitting on his bedside table and saw it was 10. Only 2 hours till he had to give Jackie an answer. He sat up slowly and held his head in his hands. The room was spinning and he cursed himself for drinking so much. He tried to remember what had happened the night before. The last thing he remembered was deciding to marry her in the back of the poorly lit warehouse. As he stood up he noticed something on his bedside table. A glass of water. He didn't know how it had gotten there but he didn't care. He drank the water before changing out of his close from the day before. Upstairs he found Eric sitting on the couch.
"Morning Forman." Hyde spoke softly. He tried to keep his cool but he found his stomach churning and he couldn't tell if it was the hangover or the anticipation of talking to Jackie. They had sat for an Hour in silent watching the TV when red came down the stairs.
"Alright you two where's Charlie?" Red asked exasperated by the teens.
"Look dad not so loud okay? We had a rough night." Eric kept his eyes almost closed but not quite. Hyde was ready to ignore the conversation but red leaned down and shouted, "Where's Charlie?!" Both the boys flinched and Hyde looked at Eric.
"Whos Charlie?" He asked in confusion. Eric rolled his eyes and responded to Red.
"Last time I saw him he was on a stack of kegs claiming mount Schlitz for the US." Hyde began to tune the other two men out as he thought about how he would tell Jackie yes. Words had never come very easy to him and lounged on the Forman's couch was no different. He didn't often bite his finger nails but as he sat and vaguely listened to Red call Eric a Smartass he found himself with his fingers in the corner of his mouth. He was anxious to tell her yes and checked his watch as Red walked away.
"Well, It's almost noon." He set his hand down and laid his head back on the couch. "Guess I gotta go talk to Jackie." Eric turned to face Hyde and asked softly.
"What are you gonna tell her?" Hyde breathed deep before responding.
"I don't know man. Thinking about letting the El Camino make the final decision." He picked up his hands and gestured as he talked. "If it pulls to the left marriage, Pulls to the right, nudie bar." He grinned slightly at his own joke.
Eric looked him with what may have been concern but Hyde found himself not caring. He was gonna tell her yes. He had decided that last night. Jackie may be loud, abrasive and annoying at times but the small brunette had made an impact on him like no other. He had always been told that because of his parents he wouldn't amount to anything and he had started to believe it when Jackie had come in to his life. They had been friends for year but after the first kiss during the Price is right 2 years ago he realized that she was amazing. She could be kind and while she made everything about herself in front of people just like him she had a soft side no one ever saw.
"So, you haven't decided?" Eric asked him gently. Eric knew Hyde loved the girl even if Hyde never said it out loud. Hyde smiled a little and responded.
"No. I've decided." He stood up and walked out of the room without another word. He walked in to the kitchen to find Jackie and Mrs. Forman standing in the kitchen.
"Steven." Jackie looked at Hyde and smiled. Seeing him made her think of the night before. Of what he had said to her and how he had held her. Hyde looked at Mrs. Forman and smiled at her.
"Mrs. Forman, do you mind giving us a minute alone?" He looked at Jackie and tried to stop himself from smiling. Be cool He thought to himself.
"Oh but Of course, Steven" Kitty smiled and "You two." Kitty giggled and left the kitchen smiling widely. The two stood for a second unsure of how to start the conversation that needed to happen.
"look Steven I wanted-"Hyde cut her off before she could finish.
"Don't go." He said it so quietly she almost didn't hear him. Jackie's eyes grew wide and a smile crept on to her face. He spoke a little before she could say anything. "I'm not ready to get married yet, but," He paused, shifted awkwardly and cleared his throat. "One day I do want to marry you." He tried to speak as casually as he could, but Jackie squealed and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I already called and told them no." She said smiling.
"What?" Hyde pulled away from her to look at her. "Why?"
"Look, Steven what do you remember about last night?" Jackie asked setting her hand on his chest.
"I remember getting drunk at a warehouse then I woke up in my bed. No clue how I got there." He smiled as he remembered how drunk he had been. "that was fun." Jackie smiled and kissed his check before continuing.
"You showed up at donna's. You asked me to stay and I told you I would. That's what I was trying to tell you." She smiled and kissed him when Eric walked in.
"Guys really? In my kitchen?"
